Chapter 585 Peek At Us In The Bath
He sighed in relief when hearing that before the old man continued. ”Now, you won’t be able to use most of these powers until you reach the Rank of Demi-God. It will allow you to use shadows to your liking.”
”Well, I do that already now. So what does it add to my current powers?” Archer asked with a curious voice.
The old man smiled before explaining. ”Well, fate has definitely chosen you, boy. You found two of the original prince’s spells like regular magic. Are you in possession of the spellbooks for them?”
Archer nodded as the man spoke. ”Make sure no one gets their hands on them. Where did you get them anyway?”
“I actually found them in a random bookshop. When I came across them, I felt a strong desire to learn more,” he replied, settling onto a nearby bench. .
The old man stood up and walked to the river. “You’re meant to be the next Shadow Prince in the upcoming war. The previous prince gave you his title and powers, and I think he knew you were coming and kept it a secret until now. As the second prince, I see you as the rightful heir, ready to become the third and hopefully final.”
When Archer heard this, something popped into his mind, causing him to ask. ”Who are you?”
The old man turned to face him but now was made up of shadow with glowing white eyes and spoke. ”I am the second Shadow Prince Umbra. No one will remember me as my time was a millennia ago, but certain groups know of our existence and will try to stop you, but I know what you like and will deal with them properly.”
He sighed, but suddenly, Umbra appeared in front of him and put his shadowy on his chest. Archer tried to step back but felt something enter his body just after that. He stepped back and spoke. ”No, go forth and show the enemy what the Shadow Princes can do.”
Everything went dark, and he found himself back on the bench with Hemera shaking him. As he opened his eyes, she recoiled in shock. Archer was taken aback and quickly asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Look at your face, Archer! What happened to you?” The sun elf exclaimed.
With that, he used Mana Manipulation to create a mirror to see what Hemera was shocked about, and when he saw himself, he was stumped.
Archer’s eyes were pitch-black, and his hair was jet-black, giving him the appearance of a more sinister version of himself.
He admired his transformed reflection in the mirror, prompting Hemera to giggle, but Archer sensed his aura was slightly different and more imposing, which made him happy.
However, the memory of what Umbra had done hit him, leading him to decide to check his status.
[HP: 28120>29500]
[Mana: 659690>665000]
[Strength: 26900>27500]
[Constitution: 25300>26000]
[Stamina: 26000>27000]
[Charisma: 20100>21500]
[Intelligence: 26050>27500]
[New Magic Learned – Shadow]
[New Skill Learned – Shadow Prince]
[Dragon’s Domain: 6>7]
[Shadowspawn: 2>5]
[Draconic Synergy: 2>5]
Confusion briefly crossed his face when he saw his new status, but he quickly accepted it without dwelling much on it. His stats had slightly increased, and some of his spells and skills had leveled up.
Archer shook his head and turned to Hemera, who was still freaked out. However, she soon noticed something and voiced her concern. ”Where did that black book go? Tell me, Arch!”
He smiled before explaining. ”You’re not going to believe it, but that book was from someone named the first Shadow Prince.”
”Shadow Prince? Who’s that?” Hemera asked with a curious voice once she sat down to listen.
Archer shrugged as he answered. “I don’t know. The second prince, Umbra, didn’t say much, except that I’d get into more trouble, which wasn’t new for me. But the first prince chose me to inherit his powers.”
Hemera’s eyes widened, but he continued. ”Now I’m the third Shadow Prince. I don’t know who or what it is. Do you want to see my new form?”
The sun elf nodded with an excited expression. Archer stood up with a grin and activated his Shadow Prince skill.
He closed his eyes, focusing on the surge of energy within him. His body trembled as the shadows around him began to dance, responding to the call of the ancient power he was using.
A low growl emanated from deep within as the transformation took hold. Suddenly, shadows converged around him, spiraling upward like a dark tornado. His form became engulfed in an otherworldly darkness, obscuring him from view.
A spectral shape emerged from the shadows, growing taller and more imposing with each passing second. A newer version of Archer’s shadow form was revealed as the shadows dissipated.
He stood at an astonishing ten feet tall, towering over Hemera, who looked at him with fascination. Archer’s eyes were glowing with an intense violet light, radiating an aura of raw power.
The morning light reflected off his shadowy form, giving him an otherworldly, majestic appearance. Archer’s razor-sharp teeth glistened, highlighted by a vivid violet glow from his mouth.
Each tooth seemed to carry the essence of shadows, ready to consume the darkness around him. The sheer presence of the transformed Archer sent shivers through trees that acknowledged the formidable force now standing in its midst.
With a swift, fluid movement, Archer tested the newfound strength of his limbs. As he moved, the ground trembled beneath each step, and the air seemed to ripple with his power.
The violet glow intensified, casting eerie shadows that danced across the area around them. When Hemera saw this, she smiled before standing up and approaching him. Archer watched this with a grin and spoke in a deep and ominous voice. ”Do you like my beautiful elf?”
Hemera smiled before nodding her head as she poked his form that stood over her. He looked down as her finger entered his shadows. Archer felt it and chuckled before picking her up.
Hemera yelped as he did that, but she felt comfortable as Archer held her. But soon after that, he offered something he knew the elf would love. ”Do you want to travel to the college through the shadows?”
With that, she excitedly agreed as they melded into the shadows and people started entering the area.
The world around them shifted as Archer navigated the hidden corridors of darkness with the grace of a phantom, and Hemera, nestled in his arms, looked around with wide-eyed wonder.
They moved through the shadows, unnoticed by the oblivious people who traversed the well-lit streets. Archer seamlessly transitioned from one shadow to another, his movements a dance with the darkness.
He easily traveled through Starfall City as Archer saw people shopping or working. But that’s when he saw two strange-
looking men talking to people. Archer listens in and finds out they are church assassins.
With a sigh, he spoke to Hemera, who was still looking around. ”There are church assassins here. Only two, but watch what I can do. So hold on, my princess.”
Hemera nodded as he approached the two men and dragged them into their shadows with his creepy claws. When this happened, the shopkeeper is scared and rushes into the back, which causes Archer to laugh before dealing with the assassins.
Approaching the road that led to the college, he emerged from the shadows with Hemera still cradled in his arms. When he did that, he scared a merchant caravan as the guards and adventurers rushed to defend the people behind them.
Archer saw this and let out a creepy smile that showed all his teeth before vanishing into another shadow. Hemera wondered what he was doing and asked in a suspicious voice. ”What are you planning?”
Archer chuckled before speaking. ”Well, I want to scare the girls, and I can sense some of them in the college garden waiting for us.”
The sun elf grinned as she giggled. When Hemera calmed down, she commented in a teasing voice. ”You’re a naughty dragon. They will never see you coming.”
After speaking, the two traveled toward the college and saw students stepping through the entrance, but Archer passed by as he used their shadows. .
Soon, they saw all the girls apart from Hecate and Sia, who had already left to complete her orders. The group sat on a few benches in a small, secluded garden as the sun beamed.
Archer managed to get close to them without anyone knowing. He moved to Nefertiti’s shadow and started admiring her thick thighs and fat ass, but Hemera grinned before teasing him. ”You’re going to love this, aren’t you? Bet you’re going to peek at us in the bath.”
“Now that you mention it, that’s a brilliant idea, Hemi,” he remarked before kissing the elf’s forehead as he turned his attention back to the group.
