A foreigner's journey

It is not difficult to make a 'Shadow Guardian', the difficult thing is to obtain the consent of the shadow master.

Very few people or intelligent creatures are willing to let others manipulate their shadow. After all, it is a part of life and death that has been with them since the moment they were born. Who has ever left their shadow for even half a second? Extracting and copying shadows without authorization will definitely cause fierce resistance from the shadows, so it is necessary to obtain 'permission'.

It was because of Bast's life-saving grace and the fact that this was the home of the 'Absolute Kingship' and 'Light Egg' that Heather was not afraid of Bast's secret mischief, so she agreed to this seemingly outrageous request.

There are three steps in making a ‘Shadow Guard’ – touching, copying, and storing.

Touch the shadow with the consent of the shadow owner and communicate with the shadow owner to reach an agreement.

Use Bast's innate ability to copy a copy of the shadow into your own Sea of ​​Shadows. This copy will appear in the most powerful form of the creature.

The Sea of ​​Shadows and backup shadows merge and adapt to each other, eventually including a brand new 'Shadow Guard'.

This kind of shadow guard does not have its own thinking ability. All the energy required for actions needs to be supplied by Bast's Sea of ​​Shadows, and the upper limit of its strength will not exceed Bast's body.

Along the way, Buster has copied many shadows, including the [Kingdom of Shadows] from Queen Scathach in Celtic mythology, the strongest ghost [Boraxiu] from DNF, and the [Kingdom of Shadows] from Osiris in Egyptian mythology. Golden Scale Throne], [Chaos Night Star Sea] of the night goddess Nyx in Greek mythology, etc., but this is the first time that I have copied the shadow of a foreigner.

The huge office was gradually covered by black shadows, and the shadows under Heather's feet were violently disturbing.

Gradually, under Bast's guidance, a shadow that was exactly the same as Heather's shadow but with a lighter color was pulled out.

Heather immediately felt that her whole body's energy was greatly depleted, and even her mind energy was greatly reduced.

Bastet's face was not good-looking either. Even with her power, it was not easy to copy the shadow of Heather, who was also a foreigner. A large number of 'shadows' were transmitted from her shadow to Heather's copied shadow.

Soon, the pale shadow was dyed into a matte black, and finally turned into a complete shadow.

The moment the shadow was completed, the appearance of the copied shadow also changed. It suddenly twisted, expanded and stretched from a human form, followed by a storm and black rain composed purely of shadow.

Upon seeing this, Buster immediately activated Nyx's [Chaos Night Star Sea], and the office disappeared, replaced by an endless night sky filled with bright stars.

The black shadow body wrapped in black wind and rain was suspended in the night sky and stretched continuously, and finally turned into a pure black dragon, with dark flying membranes floating all over its body, carrying a brilliant dragon power, and was arrogant.

"Goose goose goose goose! Success!! Another powerful trump card hahaha!!"

Bastet raised her hands in excitement and laughed like a barbell.

Most of her copied shadows focus on assisting and controlling the field. Brash is a rare offensive shadow. This time, she got the Shadow of the Dragon, which is more powerful than Blash. Finally, she has another trump card.

Heather's physique was inhuman, and she soon felt that her strength and mental energy began to recover. He looked at the huge black shadow dragon, feeling both familiar and unfamiliar: "Buster... you won't do anything strange with my shadow, will you?"

Bast finally looked away from the shadow of Lan Long, wiped the corner of his mouth with a sneer on his face: "How could it be possible? This shadow will maintain the strongest posture when copying your shadow, and cannot change back to human form. And the shadow is so dark that you can’t see the face, tsk, the more I think about it, the more pity it becomes..."

The shadow of Lan Long was retracted into his own shadow by Buster, and the surrounding night sky also disappeared, and the two returned to Nitro's office.

Bast was so excited after receiving the powerful shadow that she spun around the office several times. Even if she sat down, she would bounce up after a few seconds and continue spinning around.

Heather was so dazed by her that she had no choice but to continue the previous topic: "Is it easy to communicate information among outsiders?"

"Of course not. It basically relies on word of mouth among us wandering outsiders. Occasionally the organizer will deliberately reveal a little bit of information. So you are also obliged to pass on the information you know to other mild-mannered outsiders."

Bastet shook her finger:

"If you enter the world of a familiar work, but find that the surrounding information is very different from what you know, then you should pay attention."

"You mean...?"

Bast spread his hands: "That means that there are other outsiders who came to this world one step ahead of you, and are dominated by the world view he knows. In other words, you are an outsider. Don't think too much about other outsiders. Bad, but don’t let your guard down, some outsiders are very good at disguise and are masters at hunting their own kind.”

"This type of foreigner must be notorious, right? Do they have any distinctive characteristics?" Heather decided that when she saw something was wrong, she would just consume the flames and run away. It was a tactical retreat, there was no shame in it.

Buster pointed his finger at his chin, raised his head and thought:

"Mmm... the one who injured me, [Undefeated Cosmo], is a very arrogant nickname, but it was not given by himself, but was what other outsiders called him. This guy is aggressive by nature. He didn't even have a chance to communicate and started fighting directly. He ignored any external attacks and magic. Illusions had no effect on him at all. He was simply a walking fortress. I have seen several wandering outsiders being injured and driven out by Cosmo. the world in which we live.”

"The 'concept' he holds is very strong?"

"According to speculation, it should be related to the body, probably [strength]. Generally speaking, the appearance of outsiders is not completely fixed, but that guy is an exception. He is a muscular thug in a suit, and his blond hair is always combed into a side parting. He likes to wear suits, so according to your world, he should be considered Italian."

[Invincible Cosmo], Heather secretly remembered this name.

Bast glanced at Heather, thought for a while and said, "You gave me a powerful trump card, then I will reveal a secret message to you."

"?"

Buster sat on the sofa, looked at Heather, and said word by word: "If you come to a world and there is a 'unique thing' in this world, you must find a way to take it away."

A unique gift? Heather was most annoyed by the Riddler and looked at Bastet waiting for an explanation.

Buster took a sip of the drink:

"Perhaps it is something that is favored by the will of the world and is endowed with an incredible power level that far exceeds the current level of the world. It may also be something that is hated by the will of the world and cursed in every possible way. In short, it must be that kind of extremely extraordinary thing. We Call it a 'blessing'."

"Does my Misty Dragon Power count?" Heather immediately thought of the Misty Dragon Sword.

"No, it's just strong, not the kind of 'terrible' that is unreasonable and evil. Most of the outsiders whose names are praised in all worlds have one or more 'unique things', which allow them to Easily conquer all worlds and clear away all obstacles."

Seeing Heather looking at him, Buster shook his head: "Don't look at me. Of course I didn't find such a thing. Otherwise, I would have taken you down as soon as we met. There would be no need to sacrifice the dark gold ring."

Blessed with this gift, Heather fell into thought.
