Swish! Swish! Swish!
In a quiet villa room.
The pencil made a slight sound as it scratched on the white paper. The gray and black lines, combined with light and shadow, outlined a sketch.
After completing this second painting.
Coles stopped writing and drew the curtains, plunging the room into darkness.
Ten days have passed now.
The King's Authority has also absorbed a lot of shadow power from the outside world, and can try to conduct the experiment of "upgrading shadow soldiers".
After making up my mind.
Coles summoned out his only F-level shadow soldier, the orange cat.
After several generations of updates and replacements, there are almost no ordinary F-class shadow soldiers.
If Coles had not originally thought that this was the first shadow soldier he summoned, and it held some commemorative value, the orange cat, an F-class shadow soldier, would have been replaced by him long ago.
On the floor, an orange cat with black fur and almost no fighting power was crawling on the ground, quietly waiting for instructions.
Coles looked at the orange cat, which was so weak that it had almost no attack power, for a moment, and then began to mobilize the power of authority in his body.
Under the control of the power of authority.
The shadow power that the King's authority absorbed from the outside world was drawn out by him.
These black shadow forces appeared along Coles' left palm, and then were poured into the body of the orange cat in front of him.
Because the orange cat was the lowest level F-class shadow soldier, Coles only instilled a little bit of shadow power into him.
Say a little bit.
In fact, it is the extent to which the King's authority absorbs external shadow power for one hour.
The infusion process naturally does not take an hour and can be completed in just a few breaths.
now.
Coles also looked at the orange cat intently, observing the changes in the other party.
He wanted to see what changes would happen to the F-class shadow soldier orange cat after being infused with shadow power for about an hour.
After a few breaths, the orange cat crawling on the floor changed.
Its limbs move!
The waist suddenly arched, and the sharp claws exposed from the cat's paws directly pierced the floor!
Um?!
Coles' eyes couldn't help but condense, and he reached out to take out four pieces of wood from the shadow storage space and threw them to the orange cat one by one.
The orange cat received the order, moved its head slightly to look over here, then waved its sharp claws and easily cut the wood.
Bang!
Bang!
The wood was easily split apart and then fell to the ground weakly.
After cutting the four pieces of wood, the orange cat fell back to the ground.
It retracted its sharp claws and sat on the ground with three paws supporting the ground, while the other paw was licked by the cat tongue.
Coles analyzed the current situation and quickly made his own judgment.
This weakest F-class orange cat, after being infused with the authority of the king and absorbing the shadow power from the outside world for an hour, has greatly improved its strength and agility and has reached the level of an E-class shadow soldier.
One hour of shadow power, can the weakest F-level shadow soldier be upgraded to E-level
Coles looked at the answer and used the power of authority again, injecting another hour of shadow power into the orange cat's body.
But, the orange cat hasn't changed at all!
The shadow power of this hour is just the shadow power contained in his shadow body, which has become even stronger.
Obviously, this amount is far from the level of a D-level shadow soldier.
If it’s not enough, add more!
Two hours of degree;
Three hours of degree;
Four hours of degree,
…
When the King's Authority absorbed the shadow power from the outside world for five hours and was input into the orange cat's body, the orange cat's eyes suddenly lit up, as if a change had occurred.
Coles stopped and summoned an E-level shadow murloc.
Although the E-level Shadow Murloc was not very powerful, it had the special feature of being able to swim underwater, so he did not replace it.
This is the perfect time to use it as an experimental battle object with the orange cat.
Under Coles's command, the shadow murloc and the orange cat fought.
Swish!
A dark shadow swooped over.
Five sharp cat claws stretched out, and the orange cat landed steadily on the floor.
The E-level shadow murloc had its shadow body crushed by the orange cat's claws, and turned into shadow and shattered.
However, due to the characteristics of the shadow soldier, the shadow body of the shadow fishman quickly recovered to its original state, and the process did not consume any of Coles's strength.
Coles had experimented with the undead characteristics of the complete version of the Shadow Soldier before, so he was not moved when he saw it this time.
What he cared about was the change in combat power that the orange cat had just demonstrated.
Now the orange cat has obviously been upgraded to the level of a D-level shadow soldier, otherwise he would not be able to defeat the E-level shadow murloc in an instant.
Coles continued to infuse the orange cat with shadow power and conducted upgrade tests.
This time, the king's authority absorbs the shadow power from the outside world for one day!
The indoctrination process was easy.
It’s over in just a dozen breaths!
After accepting Coles' infusion of shadow power.
The orange cat's small body jumped onto the two-meter-five-meter-high wardrobe cabinet next to it in an instant, with a hint of danger in its eyes.
It seems to have reached level C!
In order to test the orange cat's improvement, two shadow soldiers, one fat and one thin, were summoned.
These are Sam and Butch, the cat brothers from the Black Cat Pirates.
Both of them were pirates with a bounty of 7 million berries. They were both powerful D-class shadow soldiers. When they worked together, they could compete with the most ordinary C-class shadow soldiers.
In order to prevent his room from being affected by the battle, Coles asked the three low-level shadow soldiers to jump under the villa to fight.
then.
On the lawn next to the white villa.
Two D-class shadow soldiers armed with cat claw weapons began to confront the orange cat who had just been promoted to C-class.
Coles leaned against the window, picked up the washed apple from the fruit plate, and while biting the sweet apple, he leisurely watched the "Three Cats Fight" that was about to begin below!
Although the battle between C-level Shadow Soldiers and D-level Shadow Soldiers is not very interesting, it is still fun to watch the "newbies" catching each other.
Sam from the Cat Brothers is wearing a button-down half-sleeve shirt, a bow tie on his chest, and cat-claw gloves in his hands.
The arched back is not much different from that of a cat.
At the beginning, when Coles was fighting alone against the Black Cat Pirates on the training ship, he was scratched on the back by Sam's sneak attack.
Buzhi, one of the cat brothers, is fat and wears a cloak that reveals his fat belly. He wears shorts with a belt.
Although Buzhi does not look very flexible, his jumping ability is extremely strong. He can kick boulders into pieces by jumping and impacting.
The opponent that these two cat-man brothers are now teaming up to deal with is a fragile little black cat the size of a watermelon!
This funny scene is somewhat ridiculous!
But it actually happened.
Vilshia, who was originally practicing the piano on the second floor, stopped practicing and looked curiously at the scene that was about to happen on the lawn below.
The orange cat first circled around a few steps on all fours, and then suddenly grabbed Sam and Butch with its claws.
At such a speed that only an afterimage could be seen, the cat-man brothers' bodies were scratched.
Being scratched by a little black cat immediately made Sam and Buggy angry, and they each launched a counterattack at an agile speed.
Rest! Rest! Rest!
For a moment.
All that could be seen on the lawn were three dark shadows clawing at each other, with no clear winner to be determined.
In addition to the fact that Sam and Bush are strong and can fight against ordinary C-level shadow soldiers with mutual cooperation, it is also because the orange cat, a shadow soldier, is not good at fighting.
Although the orange cat's combat power has reached the level of a C-level shadow soldier.
But it's just a cat after all.
Without combat experience and human thinking consciousness, they can only attack simply.
After Coles finished eating the apple in his hand, he ended his leisurely viewing.
He also had no plans to conduct any more upgrade tests on the orange cat at this time.
Without much thought, it would be useless even if the orange cat was upgraded, so just keep it as a souvenir.
The orange cat was chosen for upgrading in the beginning because there were no other F-class soldiers to replace it.
And at C-level, there are many shadow soldiers that Coles can choose from.
“Stand up!”
As the summons were issued.
A thin shadow soldier wearing a suit and glasses appeared, holding a pair of ten-bladed cat claw weapons in his hands.
"King!" Clo called respectfully.
The reason why Cloe, who was at C-level strength, was able to speak was entirely because Coles had previously used the power of authority to lift the restrictions on him.
Coles used the power of authority again.
The shadow power absorbed by the King's Authority from the outside world was released from his left hand and infused into Clo's thin shadow body.
This time it is also a one-day measurement.
After being infused with the power of shadow, Clo's eyes suddenly lit up.
Because he felt that his shadow body had become even stronger at this moment, and there was more power available in his body.
One day of shadow power was far from enough for Clo to upgrade. Coles continued to infuse it with two days of shadow power, and then three days of shadow power...
After being infused with the King's authority and absorbing three days of shadow power from the outside world, Clo's aura changed slightly.
Coles knew that this was the opponent's improvement from C level to B level.
This does not mean that it only takes three days of shadow power to upgrade from C-level to B-level, but Cloe's strength is not weak among the C-level shadow soldiers, which is why three days of shadow power is enough to upgrade him to B-level.
Previously, it took an hour of shadow power for the orange cat to upgrade from level F to level E, five hours of shadow power for the upgrade from level E to level D, and one day of shadow power for the upgrade from level D to level C.
The difference in the pattern is almost five times.
And considering that Clo is quite powerful, the shadow power was upgraded to B level in three days.
The upgrade from C-level to B-level should also be five times!
If the same thing happens later, then an ordinary B-level shadow soldier will need at least twenty-five days of shadow power to be upgraded to A-level.
This is equivalent to one month's shadow power, which can train and upgrade an F-level shadow soldier to the level of an A-level shadow soldier.
For an A-rank shadow soldier like Lanros to be promoted, it might take several months for the shadow power to make a big change.
As for the upgrade from A grade to S grade.
Coles doesn't think that it will be enough to increase the Shadow's power fivefold. Grade A is a dividing line with a large span of strength, and it is very far away from Grade S. He cannot make an accurate prediction now.
Only through actual experiments can we know exactly how much shadow power is needed.
He did not use the remaining five days of shadow power on Clo, and continued to wait for the king's authority to accumulate and absorb it.
Now that we have figured out the promotion rules of shadow soldiers, there is no need to waste the shadow power that has been absorbed.
After all, the upgrade of low-level shadow soldiers will not bring much improvement to Coles.
Improving the strength of A-level shadow soldiers is the most effective help to him now.
