Chapter 516: The Protector (200 Monthly Ticket Bonus Chapter)

Lamajie's figure turned into shadow, moving freely through the shadows of the Shelter.

As a "Shadow" and "Darkness" pathway "Shadow-user," he was skilled at using shadows and darkness to conceal his form even at low origin-quality levels.

Once he became a Non-human Existence and transformed into a semi-darkness creature, this ability almost became an innate instinct.

The naturally dim environment of the Shelter became his best cover.

He continued to descend, arriving at the depths of the Shelter, which was also the core area where the survivors lived.

Then, his gaze turned toward a few ignorant children.

However, his end was not very good; after losing control, he turned into a bloodthirsty monster, even crawling on the humans he once wanted to protect to suck their blood!

Lamajie had not wanted to pay anything at all before.

Aaron nodded, having understood.

Regarding Aifa, who built the Shelter, Lamajie was still secretly somewhat grateful.

Aaron looked at Lamajie, very impressed by this group of people for actually being able to find an out-of-control monster to be their boss.

That "King of Shadows" also seems to be a tragic figure.

One could see the parts covered by the cloak immediately begin to turn invisible, as if disappearing into mid-air.

Even so, Lamajie liked this Inhuman-level Item very much.

Lamajie explained: "He also sheltered us, driving away Spirit World Creatures that approached our camp several times..."

But the next moment, he felt as if he had slammed into a wall, falling out of the crimson void, his head feeling a sharp pain.

In the apocalypse, human life also has a price.

After all, this kind of "disappearance" is quite useful, and in the apocalypse, there are too many dangers.

This is his Inhuman-level Item, named—"Vanishing Cloak"!

As long as one puts it on, it is as if one has disappeared from the world, and even attacks will pass right through.

Aaron ignored Lamajie's provocation and hints entirely, asking Enide beside him directly.

But its negative effects are also terrifying; once worn for too long, it will make the user truly disappear from the world!

Furthermore, this wearing time is cumulative!

Its previous few users disappeared from the world forever the moment they put on the cloak because they did not know this cruel truth.

To start a war with an existence of the same origin-quality in the enemy's base camp? He was not that stupid yet!

At this moment, he saw a youth, handsome to an unbelievable degree, speak beside the middle-aged witch: "I declare... invisibility is prohibited here!"

"Is this Occultism sealing?! She didn't reveal this ability before!"

"Don't act so innocent, Crystal Witch."

"Monster?"

——Shadow Jump!

A short-range teleportation ability!

With the help of this ability, he was confident he could escape Aifa's pursuit!

After all, this is equivalent to fencing off a grassland to raise sheep, letting them, these hungry wolves, pick and choose!

Only in those large Shelters can enough Spirit Children still be found.

But now, having discovered that this Shelter had powerful Extraordinaries, he was willing to follow the rules.

Aaron looked at Aifa: "I am merely an outsider; this decision must still be made by you personally, but I would like to ask one thing: is there more intelligence regarding the 'King of Shadows'?"

To be able to directly suppress the rank of the Magical Item on his body, how terrifying and powerful must that be?

Thoughts raced through Lamajie's mind, and he immediately took out a pitch-black, tattered cloak and draped it over himself.

'After this time, I will...'

Lamajie's expression changed; although he did not know how he had been exposed, he knew the situation was bad and immediately took a leap.

Lamajie suddenly saw his body emerging into the real world inch by inch, as if the item on his body had lost its original magical effect.

Last time, he had bad luck in the wild and encountered a crazed Spirit World Creature, and only escaped by the skin of his teeth thanks to this cloak.

"Although that woman Aifa is skilled at divination, and while 'Shadow-users' are not good at divination, they have a certain Anti-Divination ability... The Thieves Group sent me because I am a counter to the other party."

'Is this both showing weakness and indicating that he has a background?'

"Not good!"

"Could it be that the witch recently obtained a Non-human Grade Strange Object?"

This item of his had even hidden him from powerful existences in the Spirit World!

"Is it you... Lamajie?"

"Our boss hasn't completely lost control, it's just... just... sometimes he loses his sanity; as long as his desires are satisfied, he becomes very quiet."

Then, he saw the witch Aifa walking over with a group of people.

"The boss needs a few children with a 'Pure Heart' as an Offering... I must carefully select a few Spirit Children."

An Extraordinary who fought for the world until they lost control is undoubtedly worthy of respect.

Enide's expression became very ugly: "The 'King of Shadows' is the boss of the Shadow Thieves Group. It is said he is a very powerful Extraordinary, and in our region, the Shadow Thieves Group is also the largest thieves group, and there is even a terrifying Legendary tale of them slaughtering several survivor camps!"

Aifa's expression carried a trace of sorrow: "The 'King of Shadows' was once a protector. He came from the Shadowless Cult. When the apocalypse arrived, he once fought to save the world... After failing, he also lost control and turned into a monster!"

When Lamajie's body disappeared, he immediately looked toward the exit, wanting to move there quickly.

"Impossible!"

He immediately gave a start and looked at that handsome young man.

'Still quite smart!'

Just as Lamajie was daydreaming about the future, he did not notice that the environment around him had suddenly undergone a strange change.

"'King of Shadows'? Who is that?"

Lamajie cast a subtle glance at Aaron: "As far as I know, don't you also occasionally conduct some population trades with other Shelters?"

"Who knows, perhaps you just can't bear to do it yourself..." Lamajie sneered in rebuttal: "Since you've discovered it, I'll just say it directly... our boss, the 'King of Shadows', needs a few children as an Offering... if you hand them over, I can pay with supplies."

Wisps of dark red color drifted in the void like silk threads.

Aifa's expression changed instantly upon seeing Lamajie: "So... the several cases of missing children inside my Shelter before were also your doing?"

"I was merely replenishing fresh blood for other Shelters," Aifa said calmly.

Lamajie's gaze was cold and sinister, sweeping over the children who knew nothing of sorrow and were playing happily, as if selecting livestock in a market.

It was just that this Shelter had a witch guarding it, so purchasing required paying money.

"In that case!"

Aaron snapped his fingers with a *pop*.

A human figure emerged directly from Lamajie's body, transforming from illusion into reality; it was another identical Lamajie!
