Chapter 251 - 223 Dancing in the Dark Night, Lady of the Raven 1
Sophia took dangers as a form of amusement, sometimes she even enjoyed fishing for trouble, purposely wandering into alleyways and remote parks. She would then wait for players with ill intentions to show up, before dishing out appropriate punishment or killing them depending on their identities and actions.
According to her, such incidents had happened thrice.
… Mu Yuan had no idea where she had picked up such a bad habit.
Mu Yuan was feeling a bit of a headache. In truth, when dealing with the wanted criminal player Baimian Shusheng, he had already noticed that Sophia was definitely dark inside. Oh wait, she originally was a Dark Crow? Therefore, it seems to make sense for her to be dark inside.
What could Mu Yuan do, of course, he would indulge her.
All the worry about dangers are based on insufficient strength.
As long as he graced Sophia with the brilliance of evolution, allowing her to advance to Epic Life, then brought her to the Pure Soul Source Pool with his subordinates to enjoy the extraordinary experience growth, he wondered… if that would make her situation a tad safer.
Considering Sophia’s character and abilities, Mu Yuan felt that she might be more suitable for work in the intelligence department.
However, the Tianyuan Territory currently isn’t open to the public, they do not need intelligence personnel within the territory. Meanwhile, outside the territory, Tianyuan Territory wasn’t able to utilize them due to its small size short development time, and various other needs.
The most important thing was, they couldn’t do without Sophia in the real world.
After touring his company for a while, Mu Yuan prepared to return home with Sophia and the Remnant Souls they had acquired via various channels.
He said to Sophia, “Your work is commendable, your contribution is outstanding. Thus, I am planning to conduct a baptism ceremony for you three days from now. Remember to adjust yourself to the best condition on that day, and head back to the territory.11
“Alright, boss.”
Sophia called up a bunch of her team.
Under the respectful send-off of ten beefy men in black suits and sunglasses, and women in black stocking and tight wrap skirts, Boss Mu left the company with a twitch at the corner of his mouth.
Watching Mu Yuan leave, Sophia felt exhilarated. Quite unlike her CEO demeanor, she pumped her fists.
In striving to run the company and surpassing the tasks assigned by the Lord, she never expected any rewards.
She had been saved by the Lord, and the witch illness that had plagued her for over a decade (since her awakening) had also been healed by the Lord.
She was completely content, long since having sworn to have allegiance to this man, even if it meant giving up her life.
Of course, it would be even better if she didn’t have to give up her life – after all, she wished to pledge her devotion to him for even more generations to come.
However, she was still elated and thrilled that the Lord was hosting an evolution ceremony for her. This meant that she was doing an excellent job. Sophia, keep on going!
Three days later, that night,
Sophia did not go fishing that day, she didn’t take the long way home either She simply changed into her Dark Crow form in an unsupervised alleyway to covertly return to her villa.
She always hid her tracks when returning home.
Because if outsiders were to discover her home and thus disturb the Lord it would be her fault.
Very soon, Sophia returned to Tianyuan Territory.
She was wearing a Lolita-style black dress today, with a butterfly knot headband on her head and a sparkling ruby pendant on her chest.
Her eyelashes lightly trembled, her bright big eyes were like a beam of light in the night.
Lord, Sophia is here. I am fully prepared, crow-!”
Are you sure you have adjusted your state, and not just put on makeup?
Sophia’s spirit seemed quite good, she was not overwhelmed by the affairs at Lanxing.
Mu Yuan opened her panel.
‘Sophia’
‘Class: Witch (Dark Crow)’
‘Rank: Excellence Three-star’
Talent: Dark Crow Bloodline, Messenger of the Night’
Skills: Crow’s Call, Black Feather, Feathering, Black Claw, Fireball Technique, Wind Blade,…, Black Crow Forest, Dark Flame,…’
Artistic Conception: Small Achievement’
Sophia was a high-level second-rank, a powerful being with Venue Skills and decent Artistic Conception.
Her combat abilities were not weak in themselves, but compared to her combat strength, the ability to command crows and turn them into her own spies was even more awe – inspiring.
However, the skill ‘Crow’s Call’ had its shortcomings.
Firstly, there must be crows around.
Sophia couldn’t produce crows out of thin air.
In Lanxmg, she could find plenty of crows for her to command, but in the Eternal World, it may not be the same case; in many places, not a trace of crows could be found.
But even without the connection to her crows, the ability of Sophia, who possesses the Dark Crow Bloodline and the freedom to transform into a black crow, to hide and sneak is top-notch, especially in a nighttime setting.
In this regard alone, Sophia could easily best Duolai, who can transform into birds and white cats, by a couple of blocks.
If Sophia were to equip the excellent-level ‘Cloak of Shadows,’ she would truly become untraceable.
Mu Yuan thought that Sophia was a bit extravagant.
The hope he had invested in this evolution event was – to enhance this girl’s survival abilities.
Otherwise, he, as a father figure to her, would be worried sick.
Eye to eye with her, he saw that Sophia had already swallowed all the treasures he had prepared for her and had ignited the surrounding ‘Fragrance of Tranquility.’ She held a ‘Pearl of Focus’ in her hands and wore…
Mu Yuan gradually raised his palm, pointing to the space in front of him.
Hum-
Under the shimmering starry sky, the Tianyuan Territory welcomed its tenth Epic being.
Mu Yuan watched from the sidelines as usual.
Sophia’s elder sister, confidante, and close friends, Isloa, Daisy, and Lian Yue were also beside her. Nonetheless, their principal objective was not cheering on Sophia and congratulating her.
There was no possibility of failure in the epic evolution anyway, so there was no need to cheer.
If there was anyone who failed the evolution someday? That would be shameful. They should leave the group.
The ladies were working.
Daisy, Lian Yue, and the others were propping up high-pixel cameras, filming and recording the entire process of Sophia’s evolution from multiple angles and multiple views. &
According to Isloa, this was precious footage of epic evolution.
Human beings discover and master mysteries through an abundance of materials and data.
Once Sophia’s evolution concluded, they would have yet another suitable experimental subject for the study of witches. Isloa was planning whether she should first draw some blood from Sophia or cut off her hair and nails, or… Time passed bit by bit.
Unexpectedly, Sophia’s evolution did not lead to any apparent signs of an epic phenomenon.
No, that’s not right.
“The stars are disappearing.”
“That’s right. The night sky is becoming darker, as if it is being veiled by something.”
Because it was already night, it didn’t feel that apparent.
Darkness was probably the unique signal of Sophia’s evolution.
Shortly,
Ding!
‘Prompt: Your troops ‘Sophia’ are bathed in miraculous light, evolving into the
Epic Life ‘Daughter of the Dark Crow.”
‘Prompt: Sophia’s natural talents have been improved in the evolution process and she has acquired the skill ‘Night Hiding’. At the same time, the venue skill ’ ’Black Crow Forest,1 influenced by the power of the bloodline, has been upgraded to ‘Night Sky Curtain.’
‘Prompt: Sophia awakened the Epic Skill ‘Dark Crow Storm’ during evolution.’
‘Dark Crow Storm: In the name of the Dark Crow, summon a storm ofcrows.’
‘Sophia can summon a special dark crow, forming a storm to bury enemies and lead them to the underworld. At the same time, Sophia can also use the black crow as her own carrier and continuously change and transform her real body by using a special black crow.’
‘For a particular duration, black crows can move far away from Sophia, but only black crows near her would be able to serve as carriers for the replacement of Sophia’s body.1
Under the night sky, a figure flew high up.
The flock of crows seemed to bloom under the bright moonlight, shading the full moon.
In a heartbeat, Sophia understood how to use her awakened skill.
The new round of phishing plans against the rival company could be initiated.
She thought.
No, it couldn’t be called phishing.
It should be said…
She, Sophia, would hunt down the evil in the darkness.
