Chapter 998: Chapter 0995: Shadow Incarnation

The Source of Vitality Potion, specifically designed for the Fish Ugly Constitution and after repeated research by the Magic Guild, was finally completed at the end of April.

After taking the Source of Vitality Potion, the fertility rate of the Fish Ugly Race surged by a dramatic 300%, causing a large number of female Fish Uglies to enter a state of pregnancy. This meant that the Fish Ugly Race would soon witness the hope of a resurgence, and at the same time, Li Si Te (Liszt) had the Magic Guild begin research into the fertility issues of Mermaids.

For the Mermaid physique, to see if it was possible to completely eradicate their inability to reproduce due to the curse.

“Complete the mission, reward: Magic Cloak.”

The challenge of Fish Ugly fertility was solved, and the Smoke Mission naturally concluded, with the reward immediately reaching Li Si Te (Liszt)’s hands. Unsurprisingly, this item was obtained from the newly conquered Moon Slayer Native Tribe and was a part that had been sealed within the statue of an ancestor of the Moon Slayers.

According to the Knowledge Ancient Book’s appraisal of the Magic Cloak: “Zhuoer Spider Silk, Mushroom Mycelium, Infinite Magic Power, Magic Guard.”

After Ach’s analysis, the Zhuoer Spider Silk and Mushroom Mycelium were respectively, the silk produced by a strange race, the Zhuoer Spiders, from ancient legends, and the mycelium made from a mass of Abandoned Cordyceps. This Magic Cloak could provide the wearer with infinite magic power and form a protective circle of magic guard.

Without a doubt, this was another piece of equipment for Magicians, and it suited Ach the best.

The Knights, a newly emerged Cultivation System, had no ancient relics waiting to be discovered; if they wanted good equipment, they would have to craft it themselves.

Wearing the Magic Cloak, Ach could gather a foggy, light-emitting shield around her body, and even when Li Si Te (Liszt) unleashed his Superior Magic Dragon Dou Qi, it would take three strikes to break through. This undoubtedly greatly strengthened Ach’s defense, on top of her own magic might.

In battle, she was almost invincible.

In the future, Ach would be the main force in purifying the undersea demons, and with this Magic Cloak, Li Si Te (Liszt) could finally shout “666” to cheer her on without worry.

For the next few days, he was immersed in studying the new Smoke Mission.

“Mission: The assassin walks in the shadows, malice from a distant country has already reached Flame Island, lurking and spying on all your achievements. To prevent malice from bearing bitter fruit, you should take the initiative to strike and find the malice from within the shadows. Reward: Undersea Sanctuary.”

The reward could be ignored for now; what made him frown was the malice from a distant country.

Clearly, some country had sent an assassin to Flame Island, hidden in the dark watching everything. However, Flame Island was simply too big, with a population that had already reached two million. Plus, there was a continuous flow of Moon Slayer Tribes being subsumed and integrated into the Kingdom by the Knights.

To find an assassin among so many people was extremely difficult.

Back in Fresh Flower Town, the town was so small, so it was very easy to discover Paris lurking invisibly. Now, even if Li Si Te (Liszt) rode the Formless Dragon and switched on the Crystal White Trajectory vision, he still could not find the assassin—the magic was too diffuse and overwhelming to the eye.

“The best plan for now is to draw the snake out of the hole. Should I have the Magic Guild announce a major scientific breakthrough, or should the Development Committee announce an important meeting?”

Suddenly, a new idea to lure out the snake struck him: “The Mermaids have already joined the territory, yet only a few have seen them. Why don’t I hold a knighting ceremony in Estuary City to officially confer titles upon the Mermaids, and then lure out the assassin?”

Mermaids, being such magical creatures, were something everyone would want to see. By keeping the knighting ceremony limited to the high-ranking officials of the territory, it would be easy to root out any assassin who wanted to gather information on the Mermaids.

“Perfect!”

Having thought through his plan, he quickly issued instructions to the Development Committee to hold the knighting ceremony in Estuary City. He also contacted the seven Mermaids, each with their roles, to rush to Estuary City for the ceremony.

May 3rd.

The weather was clear and sunny.

The news of the ennoblement ceremony had spread throughout the territory, and many commoners and minor nobles were discussing mermaids, but they were not allowed to attend the ennoblement ceremony in Estuary City.

Only a select few from the upper echelons would show up in Estuary City.

At noon on the day, in the mangrove forest of Estuary Swamp, where the Fish Uglies had built a temporary ennoblement site, a group of nobles gathered, enthusiastically speculating about the mermaids’ situation.

Liszt rode the Formless Dragon Bard, invisible above the site, with the Crystal White Trajectory activated, he carefully distinguished the magic power situations around the site—since the target was an assassin, they must have magic power or Dou Qi. Identifying an unfamiliar one would allow him to pinpoint the assassin.

The time swiftly approached, the mermaids had already arrived at the Estuary Swamp and began to reveal themselves. Their huge bodies and beautiful forms captivated all of the nobles’ attention as soon as they appeared.

And at that moment,

Liszt detected a special magic power emerging within the crowd, a black dark attribute magic power that hadn’t taken human form but was hiding in the shadow of a noble.

He suddenly remembered the introduction from Smoke Mission—assassins walk in the shadows.

“So one can merge into the shadows, this strange ability… must be the Shadow Incarnation from the Ancient Warrior Inheritors!” Having never ceased his search for information about the Ancient Warrior Inheritors, Liszt was also familiar with the profession of “Shadow Incarnation.”

Thereupon,

he locked onto the magic power within the shadow.

He directed the Formless Dragon in a nosedive, then unleashed the reckless Dragon Might, furiously assaulting the Shadow Incarnation. Liszt leaped from the dragon’s back, stepping out of the material boundary, and reached out to the targeted shadow. With a tug and a pull, he had extracted a blurry humanoid creature from the shadow of a Moon Slayer Viscount.

Struck by the Dragon Dou Qi, the blurred humanoid was forced to reveal his true form, a short, naked man.

Snap!

Before the nobles could even react, Liszt had already taken out the Mountain Copper Manacles and shackled the naked man, immobilizing the magic power within him.

He then tossed him over to a nearby knight, “Take him into custody!”

“Your Majesty…”

“Your Highness…”

The nobles then realized what had happened and exclaimed in surprise.

“There is no need for alarm, we have merely found an assassin. Earl Geoffrey, take him away, and let us continue with the ennoblement ceremony,” Liszt waved his hand, indicating the ceremony should proceed as usual.

Though filled with curiosity, the nobles continued to engage in the ennoblement ceremony following Liszt’s orders.

During the ceremony, Liszt personally conferred titles and ranks upon the mermaids one by one: “Marquis Fisherman – Gulvig… Marquis Great West – Eternia… Salty Sea Marquis Blue Posey… Marquis Aquamarch – Tibidais… Marquis Sea Trench – Sharivara… Marquis Fugitive – Viswinti… Marquis Lost – Coquelix.”

The titles and ranks of the other mermaids were uncontentious, except for those of Viswinti and Coquelix, which were indeed indelicate.

However, considering their original kingdom, one named Country of Fugitives and the other Lost Sea, if they themselves did not mind, then Liszt cared even less.

Among the mermaids’ oath of allegiance, the ennoblement ceremony hastily concluded.

Liszt signaled for the nobles to mingle and make connections with the mermaids on their own, while he hastened away, eager to interrogate the origin of this Shadow Incarnation.
