Abyssal Invasion, I Wield Dark Authority – Chapter 3

Ch 3: Holy shit, it’s in!

【Qin Jin-Nian】

【Vitality: 4.23】

【Mental Strength: 615】

【Has Authority: Shadow】

【Basic Authority: Dark Eyes, Shadow Devour, Shadow Control】

◈◈◈

【Shadow Devour: Dark shadows that feed on the flesh and spiritual energy of dark creatures.】

Qin Jin-Nian was stunned for a moment, then felt a little puzzled.

A new Basic Authority has been added: 【Shadow Devour】.

And the description is quite concise.

Feeds on the flesh and spiritual energy of dark creatures?

It means…

Qin Jin-Nian looked at the densely packed insect corpses on the ground, and swallowed subconsciously, his face pale.

It can’t be that he has to…

Eat these things, right?

No way!

Just thinking about ‘eating’ these things made Qin Jin-Nian feel like all the DNA in his body was resisting.

But the next moment, another wave of dizziness struck, and the sharp pain in his head became even more intense.

At the same time, the Good Sister Weird was still continuously outputting, and some more liquid spilled onto the balcony, where it wriggled and transformed…

“I…”

Qin Jin-Nian’s face turned green and then purple.

Finally, he closed his eyes abruptly.

There’s no choice. It’s so dangerous outside right now, running out is obviously not a wise move.

Although he doesn’t know the specific effect of this Authority, he can already infer something from the description.

He hardened his heart.

“Shadow Devour!”

The next moment, the shadows that Qin Jin-Nian used to grab the insect corpses suddenly retracted to his feet. The second wave of insect corpses mixed with the first wave, and fell to the ground with a thud.

Immediately, the shadow under Qin Jin-Nian’s feet expanded out in the form of a black shadow… several times larger than before.

But this time, the shadow did not come to the three-dimensional space, and remained in two dimensions.

In the blink of an eye, it covered half the room.

And all the insect corpses were shrouded in the black shadow.

Then, in Qin Jin-Nian’s pale and disgusted gaze, ripples began to appear beneath the insects. With the appearance of the ripples, the solid ground seemed to turn into a swamp, slowly sinking.

The insects were already small, and almost in the blink of an eye, all of these insect corpses sank into the black shadow and disappeared. Not a single ripple remained.

When all the insect corpses disappeared, the black shadow rolled up and returned to Qin Jin-Nian’s feet.

Qin Jin-Nian was stunned for a moment, looking at the suddenly clean space with not a single insect corpse.

Then he breathed a huge sigh of relief…

So, he doesn’t actually have to eat them…

Before he could think too much.

Suddenly, an indescribable sense of comfort surged up from under his feet, and even rushed to his brain, invigorating his spirit.

The sharp, stabbing pain caused by the previous consumption was reduced by several points.

This made Qin Jin-Nian pause.

At the same time, lines of text appeared.

【You used ‘Shadow Devour’ to devour the flesh and blood spiritual energy of extremely weak dark creatures, Stat Points +0.01, Dark Points +0.05. Mental and physical strength slightly recovered.】

【You used ‘Shadow Devour’ to devour the flesh and blood spiritual energy of extremely weak dark creatures, Stat Points +0.01, Dark Points +0.05. Mental and physical strength slightly recovered.】

◈◈◈

These words stunned Qin Jin-Nian…

This is…

The effect of Shadow Devour?

It’s so immediate?

The feeling of fatigue was dispelled a lot at once. Although there was still a little pain, it was no longer a problem.

He looked at the panel.

【Stat Points: 0.52】

【Shadow Points: 2.6】

Only 0.52 Stat Points, but already 2 Shadow Points?

He was just about to study what these Shadow Points were for.

But suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a swarm of insect shadows drilling in again on the balcony.

The third wave is here.

◈◈◈

Qin Jin-Nian immediately stopped thinking about it and quickly said, “Shadow Control!”

Immediately, the shadow under his feet shot out again, transforming into the same number of tentacles, and wrapped around the insects…

Not a single insect could escape the binding of the shadow tentacles… even though Qin Jin-Nian himself couldn’t accurately capture the position of every insect.

The next thing was simple.

The shadow tentacles directly strangled the insects to death.

Throughout the entire process, Qin Jin-Nian didn’t even move a finger.

“This ability… is too convenient.”

Even Qin Jin-Nian couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement.

Looking at the dead insect corpses, after thinking for a moment, Qin Jin-Nian lightly exhaled.

With a thought, he used ‘Shadow Devour’ again.

Instantly, the shadow turned into a ‘black cloth’, enveloping half the living room and devouring all the insects.

The next moment, that comfortable feeling rose from under his feet again, permeating his whole body, as comfortable as getting a massage.

The sharp pain in his head was greatly relieved again, until it completely disappeared.

【You used ‘Shadow Devour’ to devour the flesh and blood spiritual energy of extremely weak dark creatures, Stat Points +0.01, Dark Points +0.05. Mental and physical strength slightly recovered.】

◈◈◈

◈◈◈

The text kept refreshing, and Qin Jin-Nian looked at the panel again.

He found that his Stat Points had reached 0.82.

The third wave just now was another thirty insects.

And Shadow Points had reached 4.1.

Although he didn’t know what Shadow Points were for yet… Qin Jin-Nian could roughly infer what Stat Points did.

He looked at his current stats.

【Vitality: 4.23】

【Mental Strength: 6.15】

If he guessed correctly, Stat Points should be directly adding to his stats.

“There are still 18 insects left to get one Stat Point, right… I’ll know soon.”

After realizing this, Qin Jin-Nian was no longer as afraid and disgusted by these insects as before?

Instead, he was a little expectant?

After noticing this, Qin Jin-Nian sighed…

As expected, everything in this world is about profit.

If a cockroach was worth a thousand dollars, would anyone still be afraid of cockroaches?

Not to mention a thousand dollars… a hundred dollars, ten dollars…

Cockroaches would have to cry and beg to be put on the list of protected animals.

What’s more, these insects in front of him are directly linked to Transcendence!

…This is much more moving than money.

In the era of Transcendence, great power belongs to the individual, and strength is the foundation of everything.

As a transmigrator, Qin Jin-Nian also had the common disease of transmigrators.

That is…

A severe fear of insufficient firepower.

Thinking of this, he looked at the wax figure-like Good Sister Weird outside, who was still frantically shouting ‘Open the door’.

The crazy Good Sister Weird continued to output, and another batch of insects was about to be produced…

What kind of monster is this?

Clearly, it’s my favorite experience treasure…

Click!

Treasure?

Before the second word ‘treasure’ could come out, Qin Jin-Nian’s smile froze on his face.

Because he heard a cracking sound.

The next moment, the burglar bars on the balcony, as if finally reaching their limit, under the Good Sister Weird’s unremitting smashing, three of them…

Broke.

And after this thing broke, the Good Sister Weird’s head directly drilled in from the inside.

Drip, drip…

In this process, more and more bodily fluids dripped onto the balcony, quickly beginning to mutate and squirm…

And the Good Sister Weird had already squeezed most of her body into the balcony, opening her hideous mouth towards Qin Jin-Nian. Her gaze was strange and fierce, and her mouth was full of uneven teeth…

“Open the door!!!”
