Cedric could not understand what impressed the Shadow Roc, but he was more than happy that the ancient creature did not resent him for burying the Shadow Monarch. Although a few hours passed in Umbra, Cedric returned to the exact point he left.
The Shadow Knight was inches away from piercing his heart. Before Cedric were two blinking options, asking him whether he wanted to release his shadow or not. Cedric had never heard of such a thing, but he knew it had to help him.
[You have released your shadow.]
[Limits on your shadow in the world of Elaris have been lifted.]
Cedric felt lightheaded for a second before his vision sharpened. He could somehow feel an extension of his body on the ground. It didn't take a genius to realize that this must be his shadow, which had become a part of his body.
[You have gained the passive skill Shadow Control (A)]
Boom!
