If we say the biggest difference between shadow magic and other attribute magic, it is that shadow magic is usually relatively "low-key".
Although the effects caused by other types of magic are different, basically the stronger the power, the louder the movement.
At every turn, the earth will shake and the mountains will shake, the city will be on fire, the seven armies will be flooded, the world will be dazzled, etc.
It is no exaggeration to say that every great magician is a mobile weapon of mass destruction and can be used repeatedly.
However, shadow magic is an exception.
Almost all shadow spells do not cause any significant movement and basically have no physical destructive power.
Of course, this does not mean that the power of shadow magic is weaker.
If this were the case, Pica would not be named the strongest person in the mainland.
Shadow magic can be roughly divided into two categories.
One is void spells, such as summoning void creatures, creating void spaces, etc.
As for the second category, it is the most feared curse magic of all magic.
The reason why the strong have a very high status is firstly because they have strong attack power, and secondly because they have strong defensive capabilities and are generally difficult to kill.
This is the same for both magicians and warriors.
A person with strong attack power is not a strong person at all.
Only a person who can both attack and defend and kill the opponent while saving his own life can be called a real strong person.
Needless to say about warriors, their strong physical condition ensures that they are difficult to kill and can recover quickly even from serious injuries.
Although the relatively weak magicians look like they can be killed with a single blow, in actual combat you will find that they have endless ways to save their lives, and they can also summon various magic shields.
It can be said that it is very difficult to kill a strong person who is not much different from your own level, whether it is a magician or a warrior.
It might be possible to repel or injure it, but it would be difficult to kill it directly.
For this reason, when you decide to kill a strong person who has committed a heinous crime but is not weak in strength, you often need to unite several strong people of the same level in advance, and you also need good cooperation and strict planning.
Even that is not enough, a certain amount of luck is also required.
After all, strong men are not soldiers, and it is difficult to achieve perfect coordination between them.
If something goes wrong accidentally and the target escapes, then you will have a headache.
Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, few people would go to death to offend a strong person of equal strength to themselves, let alone attack the opponent maliciously.
However, this rule does not apply to everyone.
There is one exception, and that is the shadow mage.
Shadow spell completely abandons large-scale group damage magic, but it is compensated in terms of individual attack.
Using weird void creatures and various incredible curses, a shadow mage is fully capable of killing an opponent of comparable strength by himself, not to mention that shadow mage also possess the most outstanding hidden abilities.
If you want to get rid of the curse, you not only need to be stronger than the shadow mage who cast the curse, but you also first need to know what kind of curse the other party cast.
Otherwise, even if it is barely eliminated, hidden dangers will remain, which is equivalent to planting a time bomb in the body of the cursed person, and it may become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.
But this is not the most troublesome thing.
Curse spells have another feature that is different from other spells, that is, they can be superimposed.
As long as the situation permits, a shadow mage can continuously apply several curses to the same target.
Not only will the cursed person have to endure several times the pain, but it will also be even more difficult to dispel it.
If used properly, the stacking of several low-level curses is often more deadly than high-level curses.
Of course, this is not easy to do, and the requirements for the ability of the shadow mage are also very high.
You must know that curse magic is not only difficult to master, but also easy to backfire.
However, compared with the results that can be achieved after mastering it, it is worth taking some risks.
For example, before Biga disappeared, there was a saying that once he was cursed by Biga, it was better not to think about lifting it.
It was better to go directly to him to admit his mistake and pray for forgiveness.
The curse placed by Picasso cannot be lifted by anyone but himself.
However, everything has exceptions, and shadow magic is not only a deterrent to curses.
For example, the Shadow Blast just cast by the bald man Fenri is a powerful shadow spell that is not weaker than curses.
Shadow magic basically does not cause physical damage, but it has a miraculous effect on the soul.
It is naturally capable of restraining all kinds of incorporeal creatures, even pure elemental creatures.

It is necessary to mention that the reason why the Holy See of Light is so afraid of shadow magic is of course not because of the opposition between good and evil, but precisely because of the restraint of the shadow element on the power of the soul.
Some people may find it strange that the Holy See's temples and knights are neither souls nor elemental creatures, so why should they be afraid of the Shadow Mage?
But don't forget that the most powerful spell of the Holy See of Light is undoubtedly the angel birth spell.
Once Angel's Descendant is successfully used, the Paladins and Templars of the Holy See will gain extremely powerful power in a short period of time, allowing them to easily defeat opponents who are originally equal in strength to themselves.
However, the problem lies here.
Angels may exist.
No one knows whether they have bodies.
However, the angels who came to the mainland through magic are undoubtedly soul creatures.
Of course, they can also be regarded as holy light elemental creatures.
Other magic elements have little effect on them, but the shadow element happens to be here.
It can be said to be the natural enemy of the descending angels.
Imagine if the Holy See spent a lot of money to finally invite an angel to come.
Before he had time to show off his majesty and show off the power of a god, he was easily sent away by the shadow mages.
How could the believers be killed just by thinking about it?
Is this still considered a god?
Naturally, the Holy See cannot tolerate such a force that would shake the foundation of its rule.
The shadow element cannot be destroyed, but it is still possible to destroy the shadow mage.
It is precisely for this reason that the Holy See of Light is so afraid of those shadow mages and tries every means to strangle them.
If Su Tu and his party want to enter the grand arena, they must deal with those shadow demons.
Shadow demons are undoubtedly the most representative souls.
To deal with them, shadow magic is the best choice, and shadow impact is the best choice.
It is very simple to cast Shadow Blast.
This spell has no technical content.
It just concentrates the shadow elements, then converts them into shock waves and releases them, causing a powerful blow to the surrounding soul power.
However, in order for Shadow Blast to produce sufficient power and damage range, it depends on the shadow mage's own magic power and elemental control capabilities.
Since it was necessary to kill all the shadow demons around the arena in one go, the range was too large and no fish could slip through the net.
Fenri did not dare to take any chances, so he simply used his best ability to gather all the shadow power.
Cast them all in one breath.
His efforts were not in vain, the effect of Shadow Blast was very effective, and all the Shadow Demons around the Coliseum were defeated in one fell swoop before they could even send a signal.
However, the side effects were also obvious.
Not only did Fenri himself appear sluggish immediately after casting Shadow Blast, Sutu and others who were hit were not much better either.
They swayed dizzy for a long time before they recovered.
His face was pale and very ugly.
And this was after they had prepared in advance.
It is conceivable that if they were not prepared, they might have fainted for a while longer, or simply fainted.
"Take Fenri, let's go, hurry up."
Although he fainted for a while, this was what was expected before.
Su Tu and others even practiced twice in order to recover quickly.
After Su Tu woke up first, he raised his head and took a look at the surrounding situation.
After the others woke up one by one, he immediately gave the order.
This has reached the most critical moment, and no one dares to delay at this time.
A strong warrior with a gray beard immediately picked up Fenri on his back after Sutu gave the order, and then everyone rushed towards the majestic arena as fast as possible.
All the shadow demons under surveillance have been wiped out, and there is no need to move forward furtively.
Although it has been renovated and expanded several times, the Royal Coliseum still retains its original barbaric style, with simple lines and strong strength, like a military castle, which is incompatible with the gorgeous and beautiful buildings in the city.
The arena is very large, and naturally there cannot be only one entrance.

In addition to the main entrance exclusively for dignitaries, there are also five other small entrances for civilians who come to watch the battle.
The entrance closest to Su Tu and others was a small entrance, but they deliberately made a half circle and chose to enter from the main entrance.
Of course, Su Tu couldn't be so bored that he still cared about aristocratic appearance at this time and was unwilling to go through the civilian entrance.
The detour was chosen because the main entrance is safer.
Since important hostages are being held in the Grand Arena, it is normal for the demons to set up some traps at the entrance and exit.
At least Sutu will do this, and will also specially set up traps.
As the main entrance and exit for the exclusive use of dignitaries, the main gate is not only grand enough, but also specifically allowed the palace magicians to set up various magic arrays during its construction.
Although there is no guarantee that there will be no traps here, the main gate is relatively safe.
Su Tu and others rushed towards the main gate without stopping.
Although it is the main gate, it still looks very small compared to the entire arena.
At this time, the door was closed tightly, and no guards were seen in front of it.
It seemed that the demons felt that it was safe enough with the Shadow Demon monitoring them from the sky.
Even so, before entering the gate, Su Tu raised his hand and sent out a sharp wind blade, as if he wanted to force the door to break in.
However, before the wind blade came, the ancient door suddenly emitted a bright earthy yellow light and automatically released a layer of magic shield.
After the wind blade hit the magic shield, it disappeared directly into the magic shield without making any sound.
Seeing this scene, Su Tu's face suddenly relaxed.
Because the phenomenon just now shows that at least the main gate has not been modified by the devil, and it is safe to enter from here
