Chapter 527 - Seating Arrangement

Ghosts, specters, and shadows—the three kinds of spiritual body creatures—are often confused and lumped together by many.Essentially, they are the same, all conceived from the combination of souls, negative emotions, and negative energy. However, due to the varying degrees of their amalgamation and their intrinsic properties, there are significant differences between them.

Ghosts more strongly incline to the soul aspect, and their strength attribute is comparatively the weakest. Many newborn ghosts may not even possess a strength attribute, making it difficult for them to affect the material world. Their attack methods are predominantly soul-based.

Shadows are different; they use negative energy to manifest a physical form, possessing strength attributes not inferior to fleshly bodies. However, as they are energy bodies without a constitution attribute, the cohesiveness of shadows is related to the number of Life Dice they possess. The higher the Life Dice, the more cohesive they are. Once they have Life Dice beyond the Transcendent level, many aspects become similar to ordinary people’s, in addition to numerous characteristics that surpass those of ordinary people. The Winged Night Shadow that Gaven previously encountered is an ultimate representative of this category.

Specters fall in between the two, having characteristics of both, but neither are strong.

What determines the strength of these three spiritual body creatures is the level of Life Dice, not their nature.

Daphne couldn’t help but explain proudly from the side, "Lord, this is the enhancement effect I previously mentioned to you. All spirit body creatures, within the Tower of Dominion, not only have their ability to manipulate negative energy strengthened but also the capacity of negative energy they can hold is enhanced tenfold. There isn’t a significant improvement in other aspects, but the strength has been greatly enhanced, even surpassing a material body, unlocking some special abilities."

Hearing this, Gaven immediately focused his attention on the Shadow Tiger, bringing up its detailed data.

No comparison was needed; it directly had a special status attached to it.

Attribute Enhancement: Strength +8, Lesser Spell Immunity, Lesser Damage Reduction, Lesser Resistance.

The three specialties that followed are weaker versions of the Nightshadow’s special abilities. Lesser Spell Immunity targets spells of the third circle and below, Lesser Damage Reduction is 15/+1, and Lesser Resistance grants a 20-point resistance to acid, fire, and electricity.

This kind of enhancement implicitly indicates that Nightshadow will be the ultimate direction of the Shadow Tiger’s enhancement. It currently has only eight Life Dice. If it had seventeen or eighteen Life Dice, it would probably directly transform into a Shadow Night Tiger.

Gaven asked anxiously, "Is this attribute enhancement only present within the Tower of Dominion, or will it also be possessed within the reach of the tower’s radiating influence?"

The two concepts are not the same. It’s critical to know that the radiating influence of the Tower of Dominion reaches as far as ten kilometers.

If it’s the latter, Gaven could entirely build a Shadow Legion that appears and disappears unpredictably within the reach of the Tower of Dominion. Any invaders would likely die without even knowing how they perished.

Daphne had already thought of this point, her flawless face showing a hint of regret as she said, "This attribute enhancement is not permanent but rather depends on the distance from the Tower of Dominion. Within the tower, the effect reaches its peak. For every kilometer away from it, the enhancement effect decreases by ten percent until it completely disappears at ten kilometers away.

However, it is still highly valuable, especially in the Shadow Factory. As long as it is a shadow transformed from a humanoid with at least three Life Dice, it can have attributes and abilities indistinguishable from an ordinary person within the Tower of Dominion, whereas in the manor, it requires at least five Life Dice."

"Understood, we’ll research this matter slowly later. Let’s go," Gaven said, as he had already picked up the last heavy-load carriage.

While his physical strength hadn’t been enhanced, he possessed the power of spells, Enlarge and Bionic Art of Bull’s Strength, combined with the external Enhancement from the Dragon’s Tooth Gloves, directly stacking his strength to beyond the Transcendent level, not at all inferior to those Goliaths. He only had to walk with his head bowed and waist bent.

Because after casting Enlarge, his height reached 3.7 meters, and each floor of the Tower of Dominion was only three meters high.

The weaponry and equipment from the five heavy-load vehicles were just set up in the first-floor Crystal Hall when those Golia’s swarmed up like flies smelling blood with a buzzing sound.

"So many weapons! So many armors! So much equipment! All of which we can use!"

"Are all these equipments prepared for us?"

"Do we even need to say? They’re definitely prepared for us!"

"Where did all these equipments come from? It must be the handiwork of Gaven City Lord!"

"The capabilities of Gaven City Lord are truly extraordinary."

"Naturally, Gaven City Lord himself is a Lord, with a substantial number of lieges, he surely has a considerable foundation."

These Goliaths showed their good qualities. Despite the excitement and the gleaming eyes, there was much discussion.

Yet, not one of them took any action. Everyone’s gaze was focused on Gaven and their own leaders, the Shamans. Googlᴇ search ɴovᴇl(ꜰ)ir(e).nᴇt

"Allocation according to need and contribution" is the consistent style of this tribe.

If someone were to arbitrarily snatch up the goods, it would be challenging for the tribe to maintain cohesiveness.

The Fearless Boulder Chieftain unhooked a White Dragon Horn from his waist and blew it forcefully, sending a shrill and resonant horn sound reverberating through the air.

Compared to a cow horn, the sound from a White Dragon Horn is louder and longer-lasting. Anyone who has heard both can easily distinguish between them.

This is the summoning horn of the Mountain Tribe. All the Golia’s outside rushed in upon hearing it.

With a solemn face, the Fearless Boulder Chieftain commanded, "All combat team leaders, form up."
