Shadow Stealth was a 5th Tier Spell, but it could exert the power of a 7th Tier Spell in Byron’s hands, which wasn’t much different from an Ultimate Spell .
Ultimate Spells weren’t just stronger spells, the second characteristic of Ultimate Spell was to display a spell’s property to its pinnacle .
Shadow Stealth didn’t have attacking or defensive effects, but it could allow a mage to hide, walk within the shadows and avoid many detection spells .
Once this spell’s characteristics were displayed to their peak, the user’s body would transform into a shadow and merge into the shadows .
By going through the shadows, mages’ detection spells would be unable to discover the user . Magic traps and alarm arrays also didn’t have too much of an effect .
It was also because of this that Dylas paid a lot of importance to Byron even though his strength wasn’t that great, it was all due to that ability . Byron had made a lot of contributions for the Shadow Tower, he stole many materials and items .
And now, he could use the power of the Dark Night Cloak . Byron spread the cloak and covered everyone around him . The group merged with the shadows and slowly infiltrated Lin Yun’s camp .
Byron’s eyes flickered with light . He led the group of people and went through the alarm arrays . That area was arguably the most dangerous part of the camp, they would be triggering the two alarm arrays if it didn’t go well .
But after merging with the shadows, this place was also where his power was the strongest .
Everything in the world had a shadow . Ordinary Shadow Stealth could only merge with the shadows of physical things, such as a mountain, trees, buildings, and so on .
But the Shadow Stealth Byron mastered could allow him to merge with the shadows of other things, such as an Array’s shadow .
These shadows, invisible to ordinary people, were the mediums Byron used to sneak .
After going through the edge of the camp, and with the support of the Dark Night Cloak, Byron Shadow Stealth was almost raised to its peak . No one could discover him .
He kept moving deeper and deeper into the camp’s karst cave .
Then, Byron suddenly saw Lin Yun opening a Planar Path .
After Lin Yun went into the Planar Path, it slowly closed .
But Byron was exulting as he saw this scene .
‘Damn, that’s great, that Mafa Merlin actually controls a Planar Path, and this is a Planar Path to a Demiplane!
‘That lucky guy actually inherited a Heaven Rank powerhouse’s Demiplane, no wonder he has so much information .
‘But your luck is coming to an end . You encountered me, Byron . Even if I don’t know the location of the Planar Path, you actually let me see the place where you opened the Planar Path . That’s the same as giving me an entrance key!’

Byron was called the thief of the Shadow Tower . He had suddenly risen in the past few years . Back then, he was just a guy that barely managed to advance to the Archmage realm . In order to obtain even more resources, he just kept researching the Shadow Stealth spell .
It was because that guy was originally a thief, what could he do with no natural resources? Simple, just steal and keep on stealing . Stealing became a lot easier once he became a Mage .
Moreover, he was very suitable for Shadow Stealth . Once he reached the boundary, the Magic Conducting Rune he picked was the very neglected Plane of Shadows . This was a Magic Conducting Rune that didn’t influence one’s fighting strength .
The Plane of Shadows was a Magic Conducting Rune specialized in moving through the shadows and which would increase the ability of the Shadow Stealth, displaying its power to its limit and even exceeding its pinnacle .
The person that created the Plane of Shadows couldn’t be investigated . It was said to have been produced by the Shadow God during the era of Gods, as well as having been one of his innate runes .
The rumors created a lot of interest, but over the years, that Magic Conducting Rune sunk to the lowest floor of Shadow Tower .
Were it not for the fact that this was a shadow Magic Conducting Rune, the Shadow Tower wouldn’t have kept such a weak Magic Conducting Rune .
When mages picked a Magic Conducting Rune, they would pick a Magic Conducting Rune that was helpful for battle, like the Endless Spring which helped recovering mana faster and increased their mana pool . This was the best Magic Conducting Rune for mages using spells with high consumption .
Time Hand could shorten casting time, it was a very helpful Magic Conducting Rune for battle . It was good for mages that went for powerful spells . It would cut down the casting time of those long incantations and was the fastest way to increase combat effectiveness .
As for Lin Yun’s Magic Conducting Rune, it was known as the most powerful one because of its calculation ability, it could adapt to all spells . But unfortunately, the Magic Array required a huge number of runes .
To complete the Magic Array, one would have to spend a lot of time in its early stages to gather runes . By the time the owner of the Magic Array became a Great Mage, other mages would have already advanced to the Archmage realm .
For a very long time, the Magic Array was considered a failure since many mages would die of old age before accumulating enough runes, wasting their talent in vain .
In contrast, the Plane of Shadows was considered the worst type of Magic Conducting Rune . It couldn’t increase mana, it couldn’t shorten cast time, it couldn’t even increase the power of spells .
It was a supporting Magic Conducting Rune, but it wasn’t as good as the few Magic Conducting Runes specially chosen by alchemists to assist them .
Alchemists that specialized in potioneering would chose the Hand of Flame . With that Magic Conducting Rune, they could subtly raise their control over flames to the pinnacle when compounding and would never fail compounding because of heat .
After all, potioneers mostly failed their compounding because of a problem with flames, some mistake in their control over flames, or even the heat being too high or too low . Those issues would lead to problems during the refining .
With Hand of Flame, they could avoid most of these problems and the success rate of compounding would greatly increase .
Alchemists that specialized in Magic Tool crafting would choose the Paladin Hammer . This was a Magic Conducting Rune that helped them control every single detail, increased the purity of materials, or perfected the fusion of materials .
The biggest influence to the forging of Magic Tools was the small details . While forging, the Magic Tool’s power would be reduced or the forging might even fail if some details were very hard to grasp .
There were many supporting Magic Conducting Rune like these, and many people were using them . Not to mention, most of the supporting Magic Conducting Runes also had the effect to raise the user’s strength .
But the Plane of Shadows Magic Conducting Rune only reinforced the Shadow Stealth ability . In the Shadow Tower, only some low ranked Shadow Mages would be compelled to choose that one . These people were spies and mostly focused on gathering information .
Moreover, these people had the most chances of dying, every year, there would be many shadow mages being found out and killed while spying on others’ secrets or stealing things .
After so many years, Byron was the only one who took the initiative to choose the Plane of Shadows as his Magic Conducting Rune .
Moreover, he was the only one that had comprehended Shadow Stealth to that extent within the last few millennia .
But Byron liked it very much . Since he chose the Plane of Shadows, his Shadow Stealth had grown stronger and stronger and no one under the Heaven Rank could discover him . The only time he was ever found out was when the Heaven Mage of the Shadow Tower personally tried to find him .
Since then, Byron possessed far more resources than others . According to the Shadow Tower’s rules, as long as they had the ability, they could even steal from a Heaven Rank powerhouse without being blamed .
They wouldn’t receive any punishment if they weren’t caught on the spot, even if they turned back and admitted to having stolen something . They might even obtain a reward .
Byron’s Shadow Stealth was strengthened after he advanced to the Archmage realm and no one could catch him . His resources just exceeded everyone else, and by relying on these resources, he rapidly advanced and soon reached the 5th Rank of the Archmage realm .
Byron received first-rate nurturing due to a secret of the Shadow Tower, many forces of the Odin Kingdom were still wondering about that secret .
At the very start, the Shadow Tower hadn’t been part of the Raging Flame Plane’s conquest .
The Shadow Tower’s conquest was for the benefit of the Odin Kingdom, but even a fool knew that it was for the interests of the forces participating .
Whoever got the larger domain would get more benefits, so naturally, the fewer people the better . Everyone wanted more benefits .
The Shadow Tower started being envious as mankind gained a foothold in the Raging Flame Plane .
Unfortunately, the Raging Flame Plane’s coordinates were a secret to all forces, even the commanders leading troops in the Raging Flame Plane didn’t know the specific coordinates .
Everyone was entering the Raging Flame Plane through the Planar Path of their respective force while the coordinates remained their core secret .
Apart from these forces knowing the coordinates of the Raging Flame Plane, the other forces remained envious and jealous .
Only one force suddenly inserted themselves in the Raging Flame Plane, the Shadow Tower!
And Byron was the man who discovered the coordinates of the Raging Flame Plane .
