I summon the shadow army in Pirates.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Quiet villa room.

The pencil makes a slight sound on the white paper, and the gray and black lines match the light and shadow to outline a sketch.

After completing this second painting.

Coles stopped writing and closed the curtains, plunging the room into darkness.

Ten days have passed now.

King's Authority has also absorbed a lot of shadow power from the outside space, and can try to conduct an experiment of "upgrading shadow soldiers".

After making up your mind.

Coles summoned his only F-class shadow soldier [Orange Cat].

After several updates of shadow soldiers, there are almost no ordinary F-level shadow soldiers.

If Coles hadn't brought some commemorative value to the first shadow soldier he summoned, [Orange Cat], the F-level shadow soldier, would have been replaced by him long ago.

On the floor, the [orange cat], whose hair had turned black and had almost no fighting ability, was lying on the ground, quietly waiting for instructions.

Coles looked at the weak [orange cat] that was almost powerless 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 King's Authority absorbed from the outside world was drawn out by him.

These black shadow powers appeared along Coles' left palm, and then were poured into the body of the [Orange Cat] in front of him.

Because [Orange Cat] is the lowest level F-level shadow soldier, Coles only instilled a little bit of shadow power into him.

A little bit.

In fact, it is the amount of the king's authority that absorbs the shadow power of the outside world for one hour.

The instillation process naturally does not take an hour and is completed by just counting breaths.

now.

Coles also looked at the [orange cat] attentively, observing the changes in the other party.

He wanted to see what would happen to the F-class shadow soldier [Orange Cat] after being instilled with shadow power for an hour.

After a few breaths, the [orange cat] lying on the floor changed.

His limbs moved!

The waist suddenly arched, and the sharp claws exposed in the cat's paw directly pierced the floor!

Ok? !

Coles' eyes couldn't help but freeze, he reached out and took out four pieces of wood from the shadow storage space, and threw them piece by piece to [Orange Cat].

[Orange Cat] received the order, and looked here with its head slightly moved, and then swung its sharp cat claws to easily cut the wood.

Clap!

Clap!

The wood was easily split apart, and then fell to the ground weakly.

After cutting four pieces of wood, [Orange Cat] fell back to the ground.

It retracted its sharp claws and sat on the ground with its buttocks, three cat paws supporting the ground, and the other cat paw being licked by the cat's tongue.

Coles analyzed the current situation before him and quickly made his own judgment.

This weakest F-class [orange cat], after being instilled with the authority of the king to absorb the shadow power from the outside world for an hour, its strength and agility increased greatly, and it has reached the level of an E-class shadow soldier.

Will one hour of shadow power upgrade the weakest F-level shadow soldier to E-level?

Coles examined the answer, and the power of authority was used again, and another hour's worth of shadow power was input into [Orange Cat]'s body.

However, [Orange Cat] has not changed at all!

The shadow power in this hour is just that the shadow power contained in his shadow body has become stronger.

Obviously, this amount is far from reaching the level of D-class shadow soldiers.

If it’s not enough, add more!

A measure of two hours;

Three hours of degree;

The amount of four hours,

……

When the power of the king absorbed the shadow power from the outside world for five hours and was imported into [Orange Cat]'s body, [Orange Cat]'s eyes suddenly lit up and seemed to have changed.

Coles stopped his movements and summoned an E-level [Shadow Murloc].

Although the E-level [Shadow Murloc] was not very powerful, it had a unique feature and could swim under the sea, so he did not replace it.

At this time, I just took it out and used it as the subject of the experimental battle with [Orange Cat].

Under Coles' order, [Shadow Murloc] and [Orange Cat] fought.

Swish!

A black shadow flew past.

Five sharp cat claws were clawed out, and [Orange Cat] landed smoothly on the floor.

As for the E-level [Shadow Murloc], its shadow body was scratched to pieces by the [Orange Cat]'s cat claws, turning into shadow and shattering.

However, due to the characteristics of the shadow soldier, the shadow body of [Shadow Murloc] quickly recovered as before, without consuming any of Coles' power in the process.

Coles had already experimented with the undead characteristics of the full version of the Shadow Soldier before, and he was not moved at all when he saw it.

What he cared about was the change in combat power that [Orange Cat] had just shown.

Now [Orange Cat] has obviously been upgraded to the level of D-level shadow soldier, otherwise it would not be able to defeat the E-level [shadow fishman] instantly.

Coles continued to pour shadow power into [Orange Cat] and conducted upgrade tests.

This time it is the power of the king that absorbs the shadow power of the outside world for a day!

The indoctrination process is easy.

It'll be over in a dozen breaths!

After accepting Coles' infusion of shadow power this time.

[Orange Cat]'s small body instantly jumped onto the two-and-a-half-meter-high wardrobe cabinet next to it, with a faintly dangerous look in its eyes.

It seems to have reached C level!

In order to test the improvement of [Orange Cat], two shadow soldiers, one fat and one thin, were summoned.

These are the cat brothers [Sam] and [Butch] of the Black Cat Pirates.

Both of them were pirates who had a bounty of 7 million Baileys on their head. They were D-class shadow soldiers with considerable strength. Together, they could compete with the most common C-class shadow soldiers.

In order to prevent his room from being affected by the battle, Coles asked these 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 started a confrontation with the [Orange Cat] who had just been promoted to C-class.

Coles leaned against the window, picked up the washed apples in the fruit bowl, and while biting the sweet apples, he leisurely enjoyed the "three cats fighting" that was about to begin below!

Although the battle between C-class shadow soldiers and D-class shadow soldiers is nothing to watch, it is also fun to watch the "green cats" catching each other.

[Sam] from Catman Brothers wears buttoned half-sleeves, a bow on his chest, and cat claw gloves in his hands.

The bulging arch on the back is not much different from that of a cat.

Back when Coles was fighting alone on the training ship against the Black Cat Pirates, he was scratched on the back by a sneak attack from [Sam].

The catman brother's [Buji] is obese, wearing a cape, exposing his fat belly, wearing shorts and a belt.

Although [Buji] doesn't look very flexible, its jumping ability is extremely strong. With its jumping impact, it can kick up boulders.

And the opponent these two cat brothers are now working together to deal with is a weak little black cat the size of a watermelon!

There is something funny about this funny scene!

But it actually happened.

Versia, who was originally practicing piano on the second floor, also stopped practicing at this time and looked curiously at the scene that was about to happen on the lawn below.

[Orange Cat] first used its limbs to circle around for a few steps, and then suddenly grabbed [Sam] and [Butch] with its claws.

At such a speed that only afterimages could be seen, the body of the catman brother was scratched.

Being scratched by a little black cat immediately made [Sam] and [Butch] angry, and they each launched a counterattack at an agile speed.

call out!call out!call out!

for a while.

Only three black figures could be seen on the lawn, each grabbing at them, unable to tell the winner.

In addition to the fact that [Sam] and [Butch] are not weak and can fight against ordinary C-level shadow soldiers when working together, it is also because [Orange Cat], a shadow soldier, is not good at fighting.

Although [Orange Cat]'s combat power reaches the level of a C-level shadow soldier.

But it's just a cat after all.

Without combat experience and human thinking, they can only attack simply.

After Coles finished eating the apple in his hand, he ended the leisurely viewing.

He does not plan to conduct upgrade tests on [Orange Cat] at this time.

Without much thinking, [Orange Cat] has no effect even if it is upgraded. It can just be kept as a souvenir.

At the beginning, I chose [Orange Cat] to upgrade because there was no other F-class soldier that could replace it.

When it comes to C level, there are many shadow soldiers that Coles can choose from.

"stand up!"

Following the summons, the command was issued.

A thin shadow soldier wearing a suit and glasses appeared, wearing a ten-bladed cat's claw weapon.

"King!" [Kloe] called respectfully.

[Clo], who has C-level strength, can speak because Coles used the power of authority to lift his restrictions.

Coles once again used the power of authority.

The shadow power absorbed by the King's authority from the outside world is released from his left hand, and instilled into [Crow]'s thin shadow body.

This time it was also a one-day measurement.

[Kloe]'s eyes suddenly brightened after being instilled by the power of shadow.

Because he felt that his shadow body had become more powerful at this time, and he could use more power in his body.

One day of shadow power is far from enough for Crowe to upgrade. Coles continued to instill, two days of shadow power, three days of shadow power...

After instilling the authority of the king and absorbing three days of shadow power from the outside world, [Cloe]'s aura changed slightly.

Coles knew that this was the level at which the other party had been upgraded from C level to B level.

This is not to say that it only takes three days of shadow power to upgrade from C level to B level, but [Clo] is not weak among C level shadow soldiers, which means that three days of shadow power is enough to upgrade it to B level. .

Previously, [Orange Cat] took one hour of shadow power to upgrade from F level to E level, five hours of shadow power from E level to D level, and one day of shadow power from D level to C level.

The regular gap between this is almost five times.

According to the fact that [Clo] is not weak, the three-day shadow power has been upgraded to B level.

Upgrading from level C to level B should be five times as much!

If it is the same in the future, then if an ordinary B-level shadow soldier wants to be promoted to A-level, he will need at least twenty-five days of shadow power.

This is equivalent to one month's worth of shadow power, which can train an F-level shadow soldier to an A-level shadow soldier.

And if an A-level shadow soldier like [Lanlos] is upgraded, it may take several months of shadow power to make any big changes.

As for the promotion from A level to S level.

Coles doesn't think it's enough to increase the shadow power by five times. A-level is a dividing line with a wide range of strength. It is very far away from S-level. He cannot make accurate predictions now.

Only through real 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.

Now that the promotion rules of shadow soldiers have been figured out, there is no need to waste the absorbed shadow power.

After all, the upgrade of low-level shadow soldiers will not improve Coles much.

Improving the strength of the A-level shadow soldiers is the most effective help for him now.
