Chloe had invested nearly all her Path Traits into Shadow Affinity when advancing.

At the first level, Shadow Affinity merely made her inconspicuous while she was in the shadows, or reduced her presence when her face was obscured by darkness.

Starting from the second level, Shadow Affinity could begin interfering with reality.

After strengthening Shadow Affinity to the second level, Chloe could infuse her daggers and arrows with the power of shadows. This was because the power of shadows had already seeped into the mysterious art of assassination.

At the third level, the power of shadows began to seep into the professional ability of Stealth.

Now, she could completely merge into the shadows.

Since hardly anyone would deliberately choose Shadow Affinity, a Path Trait that was completely useless in the early stages, the ability required the Path of Adaptation and three levels of Shadow Affinity as prerequisites before it could barely be learned. Without a doubt, it was an extremely rare skill. At least, most people in Avalon knew nothing about this secret.

Even among the Eagle Eye, not many people had mastered this skill.

The disparity in their understanding was undoubtedly fatal.

But she was not the legendary "Shadow Demon," after all, and could not melt into the shadows at will. To maintain her shadow state, she had to remain focused while continuously consuming her stamina and energy.

If the shadow she was hiding in were destroyed, she would also be injured. And if someone walked too quickly, the shadow environment beneath their feet would change too rapidly, consuming too much of her stamina and making her tired. If her target happened to walk beneath a light, causing their shadow to shrink dramatically, her Stealth could also fail.

Yet none of these disadvantages diminished the power of this technique.
