Chapter 1273: Smaller But Stronger!
Although its body had become a hornet’s nest, the shadows continued to spill out from its body.
The Invisible Demon’s body was continuously destroyed and put back together.
Lin Yuan suddenly felt that the Invisible Demon’s experience during this evolution was very similar to his experience when he consumed the Earth Center Fine Milk, as his body had also undergone a continuous cycle of destruction and rebirth after he consumed the Earth Center Fine Milk.
His body had completely transformed during the cycles, but it had been so excruciating that he had not been able to move at all.
However, the Invisible Demon was still able to move its body in spite of the agonizing pain.
The Invisible Demon scratched its body wildly with its three-inch-long purplish-black nails in order to alleviate some of the pain. The sharp nails tore the Invisible Demon’s already wrecked body even further apart, stinging Lin Yuan’s heart.
But after a few scratches, one of the Invisible Demon’s purplish-black nails would fall off and be replaced by a pure black nail that was even sharper and thinner than before.
The pure black nails continued to rip through the Invisible Demon’s body. As the number of injuries on the Invisible Demon’s body increased, the shadows flowed out from the Invisible Demon’s body at a quicker rate.
At that moment, the Invisible Demon’s body fused with the shadows, and everything turned dark.
Nothing happened in the dark world for a few hours.
Just as Lin Yuan was becoming worried about the Invisible Demon and was going to call out to it, the Invisible Demon emerged from the shadows 15 meters away from Lin Yuan.
At that same moment, all the shadows that had taken over seemed to find their rightful place and returned to the Invisible Demon’s body.
The fully transformed Invisible Demon’s appearance was revealed.
If Lin Yuan was not already aware that this was the Invisible Demon, he would not be able to imagine that this dimensional lifeform had transformed from the Invisible Demon.
When it had been Class 11, the Invisible Demon had been light purple with a humanoid silhouette. But now, the Invisible Demon was emanating an aura of malevolent carnage and could only be described as a wild beast.
Perhaps it was because the Invisible Demon had spent some time amongst humans and became accustomed to human appearance and was intentionally imitating human appearance, but it looked exactly like a spirit qi professional in every way besides its face.
The Invisible Demon was around 1.8 meters tall. In spite of its skinny physique, its muscles had the same sturdiness that was characteristic of all abyss dimensional lifeforms.
But now that it was Class 12, it was only around 1.7 meters tall, and its body had become even skinner and bonier than before. All the strength of its muscles had been hidden under its skin.
This height and size were more suitable for the Invisible Demon, whose main attacking method had an assassination style.
This was not the only part of the Invisible Demon’s appearance that had changed. Its body no longer had any traces of purple or green. Only black and white were left.
The Invisible Demon’s skin, hair, and eyebrows were white, while its eyes, lips, and nails had become pure black. It was the same black as the shadows.
Although its teeth were still the same as they peeked through the Invisible Demon’s black lips, the transformed Invisible Demon now fit human beauty standards much better than it used to.
Lin Yuan felt that the Invisible Demon was much easier on the eyes now.
A totem of two eyes covered by shadows appeared on the back of the Invisible Demon’s right hand. This totem symbolized the Invisible Demon’s status as an Apostle.
The Invisible Demon felt slightly conflicted as it observed its appearance.
It had been bullied heavily in the abyssal world due to its small size. Its greatest wish in life was to become as mammoth as the horned demons and win over the respect and affection of other demons with its strength and heft.
Yet, it was even smaller now despite becoming stronger.
Wait! It had become shorter and skinnier.
It was like a person who had received a raise but went bald at the same time. This perfectly described how the Invisible Demon felt at that moment.
The Invisible Demon was afraid that its looks would repulse Lin Yuan, and it thought,?Will Lin Yuan want to keep his distance from me just like the other abyss demons did because I’m even skinnier and shorter now?
Lin Yuan walked over to the Invisible Demon at this moment while saying, “Shadow, you look much better now. All you need is a mask to cover your mouth, and you won’t stick out no matter where you go.”
Shadow let out a breath of relief. It seemed that Lin Yuan did not despise the new appearance it gained after transforming.
Lin Yuan’s praise also made Shadow less upset about its height and size changes, as nothing was more important to it than Lin Yuan’s happiness.
Lin Yuan took out a set of spirit qi clothes and tossed it at Shadow.
Shadow hurriedly thanked Lin Yuan and carefully put on the clothes in case its nails ripped the cloth.
Now that Shadow was Class 12 and had gained immortal power, Lin Yuan knew that he would not be able to use True Data to check on its characteristics.
But at the same time, he was still extremely curious about the potential changes to Shadow’s original natural skill and any new natural skills it might have gained.
Shadow had pledged its loyalty to Lin Yuan and had no reason not to tell Lin Yuan about its natural skills if he asked.
As such, Lin Yuan asked, “Shadow, now that you’re an Apostle, did your natural skill improve in any way?”
Shadow hurriedly replied, “Lord Dictator, Hidden Shadow/Killer Shadow can now allow me to hide within the shadow of any item. Hidden Shadow does not seem to have improved by much. I can still only sense targets up to two levels higher than me. But in the Killer Shadow state, I’m able to attack the shadows of other targets. When I attack the shadow of a non-living being, I will be able to shatter the body of the non-living being. When I attack the shadow of a living being, the living being will experience many times the inflicted damage.”
Lin Yuan’s eyes lit up.
