Chapter 1096: Chapter 336: Evil Magic?_2 Chapter 1096: Chapter 336: Evil Magic?_2 Is this… a mutation?

Upon seeing this, everyone immediately realized something terrible was amiss.

Barre Shepherd, quick to notice the inverse flow of air in his body, swiftly slapped his palm on Toad’s head, causing a buzzing sound.

At the same time, he dispersed the black qi swirling around Toad’s brow.

Aragon seemed to awaken from a nightmare.

Stunned for a moment, he then came to his senses and realized what had just happened.

He looked at Barre Shepherd, who had intervened, and couldn’t help but notice the dense cold sweat on his back as he said, “Thank you for your help, senior.”

Barre Shepherd nodded and reminded him, “Your Curse Power just reversed.”

Leonard Churchill and the other two also wore solemn expressions, trying to understand what had just happened.

Clearly, it was the viewing of the copper piece that had caused the incident.

Could this be some kind of evil Secret Skill?

Even Leonard Churchill’s first reaction was similar.

But that didn’t seem right, how could the Demon God Secret Skill of the Hero Sequence be an evil one?

Aragon pondered for a moment and said gravely, “This Secret Skill… is very special.”

Seeing the looks from the others and guessing what they were thinking, he organized his thoughts and explained, “It’s not that there’s an issue with the Secret Skill, but that cultivating this Secret Skill requires one to hold firm to one’s heart and suppress a ‘certain Dark Type special Law’ that the Secret Skill itself draws from the Universe Laws. I had no idea about this, and inadvertently delved too deep when trying it out, which led to a very strange force backlashing against me…”

As Aragon spoke, his brows furrowed tightly, and he added, “It’s not the kind of ‘Dark Laws’ we understand.”

He was unable to describe this “special Law”; it was a domain he had never heard of, nor touched before.

Barre Shepherd seemed to have caught on to some understanding, “You mean to say that this Secret Skill itself will invoke an unknown Law?”

Aragon nodded, “Yes.”

At this revelation, everyone present frowned deeply.

The Fifty-two Demonic God Secret Skills could invoke the Power of Laws, which was a basic operation, but to invoke an unseen one?

A law that even an established Seventh Grade expert had not seen before was bound to be extremely unusual.

However, while everyone was puzzled,

Leonard Churchill, hearing their accounts, suddenly thought of the Dark Matter Crystals found near the Angel’s Remains and a guess surfaced in his mind.

He took out a crystal core and asked, “Aragon, the ‘Dark Law’ you mentioned, is it this kind of energy inside the crystal?”

Aragon took the crystal, his expression changed, “Yes, that’s it!”

At this affirmation, he, along with Alice and the others, all turned their gaze to Leonard Churchill.

“…”

Leonard Churchill’s eye twitched slightly as he thought to himself: Does this thing really have such a significant negative effect?

Seeing the curious looks from the others, he offered an explanation, “The Guardian Angel gave me this copper plate. This Crystal Core was found near the Angel’s Remains…”

Upon hearing this, Aragon and Alice’s expressions became very odd.

The Primordial copper plate was given by an Angel?

What did that mean?

Was it the Guardian Angel from the Talun Era that we know of?

Was this guy’s “connections” that extensive?

And what does ‘Remains’ exactly mean?

Leonard Churchill didn’t know how to explain.

It involved some of the Great Sacrificial Rite lineage’s plans, which he couldn’t disclose much about.

Aragon seemed to have guessed something, so he didn’t ask further.

This information was already enough for him.

He said, “This shortcut must be due to the outflow of the Angel’s Divine Power. No wonder… if one is not of the Hero Sequence, they simply cannot suppress the erosion of that Dark Energy.”

Barre Shepherd also looked thoughtful.

Some crystals like this had appeared in the relics of Summer Shepherd City before and had even become popular in the trading companies for a while.

Initially treated as material, it was later discovered that humans couldn’t bear it, and without a good way to deal with it, suddenly no one talked about it anymore.

Is the crystal the energy condensed by the Secret Skill of the Day Without Light directed at the Law?

How could it be that it was completely unheard of?

Leonard Churchill was also puzzled by this. If it was a normal Universe Law energy, its existence would certainly be detectable.

At the very least, it would have been recorded.

But this “Dark Law” was very special.

Neither Aragon nor Barre Shepherd had heard of it.

There were only two possibilities.

Either this Law does not exist in the natural world they were in contact with, or its level was so high that they were not of a sufficient tier to reach it.

But now, they had come into contact with it.

This implies that it could be the former possibility: in their world, this type of Law simply did not exist.

Once this issue arose, everyone felt that it might exceed their realm of understanding.

Aragon’s family history was ancient, and he knew some ancient secrets unknown to others. He furrowed his brow and ventured his guess, “The Secret Skill ‘Day Without Light’ has a certain degree of opposition in compatibility with ‘Celestial Godfall’. Given this, it might be a domain only accessible to the God Tier. It might also be something not of the normal material world…”

With that said, the others did not dwell on it any further.

Regardless of the scenario, it was not something they could access at the moment.

But as the conversation reached this point, Leonard Churchill suddenly understood why the Taron Royal Family would ban this Secret Skill.

It might not only be because it was exclusive to heroes but also possibly due to the special nature of this “Dark Law.”

Moreover, when he recalled the intermingling black and white divine lights he had seen on the Angel, wasn’t that black light exactly this?

Thinking of the scene where Aragon had almost been consumed by the backlash, Leonard Churchill felt an inexplicable oddity in his heart.

What others did not know was that he had previously absorbed this crystal on a large scale twice, and the “unknown Dark Energy affinity” value on his panel was already very high.

Yet, he hadn’t felt anything at all?

Before, he had even purposely attempted to sense it but couldn’t even detect the “Dark Energy” that the panel indicated.
