In addition to examining the demons' body structures, Lynd also checked the cause of death for these demons. Their cause of death was all the same: fatal attacks to the heart and brain, as if stabbed from behind by some sharp blade.
Just as Lynd was examining the demon corpses, the shadow behind Lynd suddenly stood up, holding a shadow-like blade in each hand, and silently approached Lynd, striking towards Lynd's head and heart.
However, before the shadow blades could even touch Lynd's armor, a sudden surge of freezing cold air appeared out of nowhere, instantly freezing the shadow.
At the same time, more than a dozen similar shadows instantly appeared around him, all attempting to attack Lynd, and without exception, they were all frozen by Lynd's Ice Dragon Rune power.
Although these shadow assassins were all intangible beings, and ordinary weapons could not cause them any harm, Lynd's Rune power was an exception, and if Lynd wished, his Banished Knight's Greatsword could also deal with these shadows.
In fact, before coming here, knowing that the Asshai mage hired by Euron as a guide was a Master Shadowbinder, Lynd had already taken precautions against the several types of magic most proficient in by Shadowbinders.
Just now, when he saw the corpses of these monsters, his special vision had already detected more than a dozen shadow assassins created by Shadowbinders hidden around these corpses, so he decided to use a trick to lure all these shadow assassins out and capture them all together.
Then, Lynd took out a pendant from his waist pouch. The gem in the middle of this pendant was a transparent crystal, and the surrounding pendant setting was carved with some runes.
Lynd raised the pendant and infused it with Nameless King Rune power. The crystal in the middle of the pendant immediately emitted a milky white light, illuminating the surroundings. This light instantly penetrated all the shadow assassins. The bodies of those shadow assassins gradually faded and became transparent, disappearing after a few breaths, while the crystal in the pendant in Lynd's hand had turned as black as ink.
Lynd's Tranquil Court, Mages Association, and Magic God Temple have a large number of spellcasters from different schools, with over twenty Shadowbinders alone, not including Shadowbinder apprentices.
Under these circumstances, he naturally would not miss the opportunity to study methods for dealing with various schools of magic, and the method he was currently using was one such way to deal with shadow assassins.
He also had other, more efficient ways to kill shadow assassins, but that would be a waste, as creating shadow assassins requires extremely harsh conditions, and making them last for a long time is even more difficult. In the entire world, only that Master Shadowbinder named Master Qimier can achieve it.
Now, by sealing all these shadow assassins in the crystal, although it's impossible to subdue them, they can be brought back to Black Hollow and given to Malora and her team for research. It is said that shadow assassins are involved in the secrets of souls and the afterlife.
Putting the crystal pendant back into his pocket, Lynd turned and continued walking towards the city of Styria. After entering the city, Lynd sniffed the surrounding air. From the still-uncoagulated blood on the monster corpses, it seemed Euron had only recently arrived in Styria, at most a few hours earlier.
According to Quellier's description, when Euron arrived in Asshai, he brought many wights on his ship. The spellcasters of Asshai thought Euron was a powerful necromancer, so they all kept their distance from him.
Although there were many wights on Euron's ship that Lynd had Deltos burn earlier, the number did not quite match what Quellier had said. Clearly, Euron had also taken many wights with him when he came to Styria. Now, Lynd was looking for the putrid smell left by the wights.
Although the entire city of Styria was filled with the unique decaying smell of the Ash River, which interfered with Lynd's sense of smell, Lynd still managed to pinpoint the wights' putrid odor. He then followed the smell towards a large hall in the middle of Styria that looked like a temple, and as he walked, he also drew the Banished Knight's Greatsword from his waist.
At the same time, Deltos, flying in the air, felt the mutated obsidian magic power in the city of Styria below gathering, and this magic power seemed to have a very special shielding effect, cutting off its connection with Lynd.
In this situation, Deltos, following Lynd's pre-arranged plan, directly attacked Styria.
Deltos swiftly flapped its two pairs of wings, representing storm and frost, with its forelimbs, rapidly condensing the surrounding moisture into a dark cloud that hovered over Styria. Immediately after, lightning continuously flashed within the dark cloud, quickly gathering around Deltos, magnifying dozens of times with its body as the core, forming pillars of lightning that struck Styria, dispersing the mutated obsidian magic power gathered in Styria, while the buildings in the ruins of Styria melted under the lightning strikes.
