Chapter 715: Chapter 371 Shadow Space_2

Mu You immediately thought of one use for this power - the Silent Library!

The mysterious library guarded by the Silent Beast, he spent a grand effort last time, competing against the Beast and the Librarian, experiencing numerous adventures before he managed to sneak in.

But with the power of Shadow Space, sneaking in there again would now be a piece of cake!

After experiencing the effect of Shadow Space, Mu You’s figure emerged from the shadows once again, returning to the surface, and he continued to check the abilities of the Shadow Fur Ball.

Further down is the last one, Shadow Shackles, which allows him to indirectly bind others by shackling their shadows.

Mu You summoned a clone to stand in front, and controlled the Shadow Fur Ball to unleash Shadow Shackles on the clone’s shadow, then attempted to move the clone.

As expected, the clone couldn’t move an inch. Not only that, when the Shadow Fur Ball changed the state of the shadow on the ground, the clone was forced to mimic the shadow, making the same gesture of raising both hands.

Through the perspective of the clone, Mu You could personally feel how strong this power of control was: besides his consciousness still being present, his body was completely not his own anymore.

Even with his double attributes bolstered by his vampire boost, he was unable to break free from these shackles. So, it’s safe to say that any creature below level 30 will be essentially powerless against this ability.

This ability is awesome, with 100% strong control, even allowing him to puppeteer his target into taking whatever actions he wanted, with no time constraints. As long as he didn’t release it, the target would constantly be controlled, becoming a complete puppet on strings!

Of course, there are countermeasures as well.

Firstly, this control only affects the body and is incapable of controlling thoughts and the flow of energy within one’s body. If someone is capable of wandless casting and silent casting, they can still launch a magical counterattack even when under control.

Secondly, the Shadow Fur Ball, at level 0, can only control a single target at a time. Therefore, if there are multiple enemies, even if one is controlled, the others could still act to rescue them, such as by casting some light-source spells to eliminate the shadow. Since Shadow Shackles control the body through the shadow, without a shadow, this ability naturally becomes ineffective.

The list of Shadow Fur Ball’s abilities is complete.

Overall, this little guy at level 0, although it has no direct combat abilities, is a pretty useful assistant. Both abilities can play a significant role under certain circumstances.

There’s also Mu You’s own improvements.

In this nationwide raid on the Shadow God, he had the highest output overall. After firing a round of cannon every ten seconds, he dealt almost five hundred shots, reaching almost half a million in total output!

His final gains, other than a bit of divine power, included 5000 HP, 5000 prestige points, and over 640,000 XP!

With this wave of experience, he jumped two levels directly, from level 17 to level 19.

The current level situation is: Level 19 (157101/655360).

Originally, when he reached level 19, Mu You was planning to use the ’Book of Energy’ to advance to level 20.

However, he hadn’t expected this wave of experience to go so overboard that it pushed him over level 19, overflowing him with extra 150,000+ experience.

This presented a dilemma for Mu You, if he used the Book of Energy now, he’d waste those extra 150,000 experience points, especially considering that he’s only 500,000 experience points away from level 20.

This number might have seemed daunting before, but with the city lord’s wage and the mechanism of having one double experience card every day, this amount of experience does not seem too unattainable anymore. In fact, if the timing is right, he only needs one day to earn it!

So Mu You decided against using the Book of Energy. He already knew that there were higher levels beyond level 30, and since he has the God Soul Crystal, bottleneck was not a problem anymore. He could just use this thing at level 29 to maximize its effect.

"Let’s go, it’s time to meet our behind-the-scenes agent." Mu You threw the Shadow Fur Ball back into the shadows and turned to Lin Xue.

"Yes." Lin Xue nodded in agreement.

Consequently, the two jumped down from Sky City, quickly disappearing into the night.

...

While they were quietly making their moves,

In the real world, the heated discussion was still ongoing on the Fool’s forum.

"What’s going on in Dawn City? Why is there suddenly no news?"

"I don’t know. I heard that they were nearly defeated when the Shadow God wiped them out again..."

"I’m from Dawn City. The Shadow God pulled off a big move at the last moment... The thing is, why wasn’t I revived?"

"Same here, I died waiting to be revived, aiming to swoop in for the final kill, but instead I got a ’waiting for revival’ message, saying I could only revive after one day..."

"Isn’t it only the wildlife that is delayed in reviving? Is this a bug?"

"Me too, I thought it was just my bug. If everyone is the same, then I can rest easy!"

"Wait a minute... if everyone is wiped out, then... what about the mission?"

The question from one of the netizens momentarily quieted down the forum.

Everyone thought hard about this, causing a chill to run down their spine.

Millions of people wiped out and revival delayed for a day, wouldn’t this leave Dawn City an abandoned city for that day?

Without anyone guarding it, wouldn’t the Shadow God be free to wreak havoc?

"At least the Octopus King is still there, right? Should be fine then?"

"That’s right, the Shadow God was already spent, the Octopus King just needs to show a bit of strength, then take down the Shadow God!"

"About that, it looks like my end shows the Octopus King is also dead..." This was another piece of news from a player from Dawn City.
