Chapter 367 - Shadow Weave

Gaven, who had once witnessed Radiance Cloth and Night Silk, suddenly had a wild idea: could it be possible to weave fabric using Shadow Energy?Moreover, after discussing this idea with Nicole, he didn’t expect her to really take it to heart.

Although Gaven had never seen the manufacturing process of Radiance Cloth and Night Silk, there was one thing he was sure of, and that was the use of magic.

It definitely wasn’t a crude combination of local and foreign aspects, forcibly woven together.

So, when they actually got results from the experiment, he couldn’t help being a bit startled.

"Yikes," Nicole obviously jumped, patting her small chest, "You scared me. Do you know people can be scared to death if you frighten them like that?"

"..." Gaven, somewhat lost for words, said, "You’re not afraid of the real ghosts you’re guarding, so why be afraid of me, a living person?"

"I just wasn’t paying attention!" Nicole, having gathered her wits, said excitedly, "Your method really works. This Shadow Fabric can absorb light; it’s absolutely perfect for making invisibility cloaks. No enchantment needed, just wrap it around yourself, and you become invisible right away. With magic to complement it, I believe the effect would be even better.

But the whole production process is very unstable, and the success rate is too low. We’ve been busy for three days and haven’t even managed to weave enough Shadow Fabric for half a cloak."

Nicole looked with puzzled eyes at the Dwarves Bound Wraiths, saying, "Were you all slacking off before? Why is it that as soon as the Lord arrives, your control becomes so stable? Weren’t there frequent little problems before? If your energy supply had been this stable before, we would have doubled our output by now."

The leading Dwarves Bound Wraith protested, "Even if you gave us the courage of two, we wouldn’t dare, and we wouldn’t do such a thing. This really has nothing to do with us. Why it’s so stable, you should ask the Lord."

"That’s right. Since the Lord came in, the Shadow Energy here has become much more stable, and it’s been easier to control. Didn’t you see? Even the loom is running a lot more smoothly."

"The main issue is the loom. If the loom runs smoothly, our process of controlling the energy is simpler, and it’s easier to produce stable Shadow Fabric." Follow current novels on No(ᴠ)ᴇlFire.nᴇt

The other Dwarves Bound Wraiths chimed in one after another, looking at Gaven with even more awe in their eyes.

In just a few days of absence, he seemed to have gained related abilities in the realm of shadows.

"Really?" Nicole’s face was full of doubt, her expression screaming ’don’t you lie’, as she couldn’t help but circle around Gaven, as if trying to find the problem on him.

"My presence made Shadow Energy easier to control?" Gaven himself was also a bit dumbfounded.

After all, from the beginning to the end, he had just been an observer and hadn’t done anything special.

On himself, it seemed there was only one ability connected to Shadow Energy—the manipulation of shadows, which couldn’t possibly have this kind of magical power.

No, there was another one that could be linked to Shadow Energy on his person.

Gaven took out Death Roar from his backpack and said, "You’re not talking about this, are you?"

The moment they saw Death Roar, all the Dwarves Bound Wraiths changed color dramatically.

What in the world!

What did they sense in it?

The divine aura of the Goddess of Undead Vengeance.

But he was a Blasphemer against the Undead Goddess of Vengeance; how could he possibly receive the Goddess’s blessing?

And what was that aura of Undead Divinity?

Most importantly, they sensed a threat of death.

The alarm bells were ringing madly in their minds.

Warning them that once hit by this thing, they would completely evaporate into smoke and clouds, with no chance of becoming Specters.

Because it bore Undead Divinity.

Often, what kills the dead is Undead.

This time was no exception.

The leading Dwarves Bound Wraith unconsciously swallowed the nonexistent saliva and said, "Indeed, it’s that thing, the Undead Divinity on it has slowed down the Shadow Energy here to some extent, and now this feeling is even more obvious."

All the Dwarves Bound Wraiths had already guessed that the Undead Divinity on Death Roar, which Gaven held in his hand, must be related to the Undead Goddess of Revenge, but they didn’t mention a word about it.

Gaven naturally wouldn’t kindly explain to them either, he just nodded in understanding, "Undead Divinity and Negative Energy have an inherently close relationship, it’s not surprising that it could have such an effect."

Then, Gaven stuffed Death Roar back into his backpack. Even if he realized its unique stability in this respect, as his most powerful equipment, he wouldn’t possibly leave it here as a stabilizer.

Instead, he began circling the textile machine.

These Dwarves Bound Wraiths had already mentioned more than once that there was something wrong with the loom, Nicole didn’t take it seriously, but he had to, knowing well that good equipment could achieve twice the result with half the effort.

The loom was actually Weizemay Manor’s original manually operated weaving machine, slightly modified, and then it underwent Shadowfication along with the manor.

This non-artificial Shadowfication was naturally incomplete.

Plus, it wasn’t designed specifically for this unique type of weaving, Nicole and her people forced a trial success.

It could all be attributed to their own formidable strength.

Gaven, while inspecting, said, "Before others weave, they always spin the silk first, but you just skip that step, which saves a lot of effort indeed, but it also requires too high a standard of manpower. Even if you succeeded, are you going to do nothing else? Stay here weaving every day?"

The leading Dwarves Bound Wraith showed a pleasing smile, "Wherever Lord requires us to go, naturally we will go, even if it means staying here and weaving every day, it won’t be a problem.

Still, doing so seems a bit like a waste of talents, I think we have more uses, it’s just that I don’t know if Lord has any good idea to let us step away."

The implied meaning was still a reluctance to be used as mere weaving machines.

"You don’t want to do this mechanical task, then start thinking fast, come up with simpler and more widely applicable methods." Gaven, of course, wouldn’t just leave them weaving here.

Now there were many Shadow Servants in Weizemay Manor, but none of them preserved such high humanity and powerful abilities as they did.

This occurred for three reasons.

First, it was influenced by Estelle’s unique state.

Second, they were followers of the Undead Goddess of Revenge in their living days, proficient in manipulating Shadow Energy, which matched their natures.

Third, they were powerful in their own right.

Don’t be fooled by how easily Gaven killed them.

In reality, their strength while alive was not low, and with a mere misstep, many Transcendent Professionals could fall into their hands.

In the future, the manor will have more and more uses for them.
