Abyss Domination Chapter 116: One Stab

All of these happened in one second!

When Soran disappeared out of nowhere, everything in front of him turned grey. The sky was always grey, but the sunlight and moonlight also turned grey. In such a short second, everything around Soran was rushing past at great speed and was assimilated by shadows, turning into a form of shadow creatures. The surroundings was also twisting and shuttle layer opened dimensional access of shadow layer, which was a portal ability similar to spells that could only last for one second. So it couldn't be equal to shadow layer.

At the next moment, he appeared behind the elf wanderer.

His shadow twisted eerily and turned into contorted outlines, finally becoming Soran's shadow. Then a vague and shadow-covered figure suddenly appeared.

With a wicked smile, the elf wanderer reached his purpose. Hunters obviously allocated part of the manpower to combat Soran and Gloria, so that he faced fewer dangers. As long as hunters were disturbed by three people, there was great possibility for him to escape. After all, he was also the son of horror. As he was beginning to plan his escape routes, he suddenly stiffed and a sharp blade cut across his chest and instantly pierced the heart. It was so sudden that he didn't have time to change his facial expression. With an explosive sound, the blade was twisted!

"Go to hell!"

With a grim look, Soran twisted his blade and cut through his armor, not only piercing his heart but also wringing a bloody hole on his chest. A crack appeared on his delicate military machete. It was surprising that the weapon couldn't withstand Soran's explosive power and showed a sign of cracking. The shadow behind him was still twisting and overlapped with Soran's. He looked grey like a ball of black shadow. He didn't return to his original look until he pulled out his machete.

Elf wanderer's body fell straight onto the ground. Out of everyone's expectation, he was killed by Soran just with one stab.

Werewolf's grim smile was stiffed and hunters were all stunned.

A row of data jumped out quickly.

"Dark vision is activated!"

"Shadow hiding is launched!"

"Shadow shuttle is launched!"

"Shadow killing is launched!"

"Successful in shadow hiding!...Hiding vision specialty is activated!...Successful in shadow shuttle!...Cross-layer shadow jump is activated!...Successful in shadow killing!...You have acquired nine points of shadow hurting acceleration!...Back stab is launched!...You have cause 121 points of fatal losses to the target!...The target is dead!..."

"Soul energies are being extracted!"

"You have acquired 3600 points of slaughter EXP!"

"The target is deiform creature!"

"Deiform energies are being extracted! You got 3 points of deity!"

"The target has horror deity!"

"Failed to extract horror power!...Failed to store deity!... Failed to store deiform profession!...You don't have any godhood or deiform professional field to store horror power!...Target's fear power is transferred!..."

Behind this densely hopping data was the data that appeared in the second of Soran's explosion.   

"The thieves' profession has been upgraded to level 7."

"25 points of skills (DEX 20 + (wisdom 20-10) * 0.5) are acquired. Life values are increased by 11 points (6 points of professional life + (constitution 20-10) * 0.5)."

Eleven points of life values brought with the improvement of professional grade temporarily relieved his pains. Although he suffered temporary hearing loss, he recovered his cognition of the outside world. The anger and killing will in his heart were extremely strong, and he did not hesitate to put the slaughter experience into it.

The elf wanderer in front of him must die. The killing will in his head was so intense that his pupil became bloody red because of the expansion of tiny blood vessels.

All his skill points were allocated to evasion.

Soran instantly met the requirements to advance shadow dancer and he chose to advance without hesitation.

"Advance to shadow dancer!"

"Advancing requirements are Reflex Evasion (achieved), Mobile (achieved), 100 points of Evasion (achieved), 50 points of Hiding (achieved)… "

"You have succeeded in advancing to shadow dancer!"

"Abilities of shadow dancer are activated!...You have consumed 5000 extra slaughter EXP!...Professional talent of Hiding Vision is understood. Evasion+15 and Hiding+20!... Life values were increased by 13 points. (8 points of professional life +(constitution20-10)*0.5)"

"You have gained a bit of freedom constitution."

"You have successfully advanced as a level 3 professional! You have gained a chance to purify blood and an additional specialty point!

Advanced Shadow Dancer spent more than 13,000 slaughter EXP. In addition to the 5000 extra slaughter EXP, he also needed to use enough soul energies for upgrading.

But the power of the advanced profession was unquestionable. Although Soran lost skill allocation of a rouge level, he got an extra 10 points of Evasion and 20 points of Hiding and commanded the most useful ability of shadow dancer——Hiding Vision!

"Hiding Vision【professional talent】: Shadow dancer has extraordinary shadow skills that cannot be compared to other professionals' shadow abilities. As long as it is under shadow, shadow dancer can use shadow energies to disturb enemies' vision and launch Evasion under any circumstances, even in battles. Even if enemies are under the sunlight, shadow dancer can also manage to cover himself into the shadows and disappeared from other's vision out of nowhere. (You can activate as many times per day as your shadow dancer's level. For example, level 1 means that you can activate once per day.)"

There were also restrictions of rogue's Evasion ability.

You couldn't disappear directly from other's eyes. Evasion was a process of integrating oneself into the shadows, involving ubiquitous shadow energies. Under the broad daylight, there were only two advanced rogues who could disappear directly from other's eyes. One was Evader commanding Shadow Stalking and the other was shadow dancer mastering Hiding Vision.

The former was to disappear directly into the shadow layer, the latter was to use shadow energy to blind you.

Evader was no longer in the material layer within a second when he stalked into the shadow. He would temporarily enter the shadow layer and then came back. When he came back, he would be completely integrated into the shadow energies. The shadow dancer, however, would confuse your sight with shadow energy in this second. Although you couldn't see his presence, the shadow dancer was still in front of you and you could attack him.

"The shadow dancer's profession is upgraded to level 2."

"25 points of skills (DEX 20 + (wisdom 20-10) * 0.5) are acquired. Life values were increased by 13 points. (8 points of professional life +(constitution20-10)*0.5)"

"Advanced professional specialty is understood."

"You have understood professional talent【Dark Vision】! Half-elf night vision effect was overlain."

"Rogue's total professional grade was nine (grade 7-thief and grade 2-shadow dancer). You have acquired an extra point of specialty."

One rogue grade brought an 11-point life value increase and two shadow dancer grades brought a 26-point life value increase.

As an advanced combat-type profession, shadow dancer had powerful Evasion ability that could improve the efficiency of mastering the expertise of evasion. At the same time, shadow dancer's inborn professional grade was 2 points higher than that of the rogues whose base life points were 6. The base life points of the shadow dancer were 8, which was the same as the basic life attachment of most agile warriors. Specialties must be trained or acquired upon specialty points, but professional talent was a capability that could be mastered directly.

Talent, by definition, was an innate ability! A lot of talent specialties were special abilities that didn't require specialty points to master!

Basically talent specialties were brought by advanced profession and inborn blood.

A total of 37 points of life value increase recovered Soran a lot directly from the serious injuries. His sight had been restored. Although his ear was still seeping blood, he could gradually hear sounds. His organs affected by some supernatural sonic forces were also quickly recovered. His serious injuries caused by Vivian's outbreak were completely restored. His eyes locked at the elf wanderer in front of him. Without hesitation, he advanced shadow dancer to level 2.

In the case of part-time jobs, sub-profession could only be calculated half of its professional grades.

Soran's rogue professional grade was nine (grade 7-thief and grade 2-shadow dancer) and his part-time wizard's grade was 5, which could only be calculated half of its grade. So his total professional grade was about 12. Three professional grades could bring a point of specialty. Those whose professional grade over 10 could enter level 3. Every time of advancing could have an extra specialty point.

Soran gave up other specialty improvements, including powerful abilities like Danger Sense，Proficient Reflex Evasion, Summon Specters and so on.

He put all specialty points into Shadow.

"One point of specialty is consumed!"

"Professional specialty of Shadow Commanding is improved to Shadow Mastering!"

"One point of specialty is consumed!"

"Professional specialty of Shadow Mastering is improved to Shadow Weaving!"

"Preconditions are accomplished!...150 points of Evasion (achieved), Shadow Weaving (achieved), advanced Shadow Dancer (achieved)…You have master the advanced ability of Shadow Dancer【Shadow Shuttle】."

Soran continuously upgraded three times.

He gave up the fighting skills of shadow dancer, the chance to directly command Danger Sense and even the ability to summon specters.

He almost gave up most core abilities to master Shadow Shuttle in advance.

Soran killed the elf wanderer with one stab before launching Shadow Shuttle.

(Danger Sense【supernatural specialty】: Your perception would pre-empt all attacks, whether spell or physical ones. any attack against you would inevitably trigger a perception judgment. If the perception judgment passed, you will predict all attacks against you, including directional spells, and you would be able to gain additional perception Evasion.)

【Note: This supernatural specialty could be added with supernatural talent of super-sixth sense.】

(Shadow Shuttle【supernatural ability】: You would completely assimilate yourself into the shadows and transform into shadow life forms as you initiated shadow shuttle. In the shadow shuttle state, any shadow within 100 meters could be used as a drop point for cross-layer jump. This supernatural ability was equivalent to a flashing transmission spell at a distance of 100 meters. It must be initiated in evasion and shadow, and the ability could not jump across the span to a place where there were no shadows.)

【Note: The pre-ability of legendary skill Shadow Steps could only be used once per day.】
