Echoes of Shadows in the Savage Forest

Orion vanished amongst the towering tree trunks, his body flowing with the shadows as if he were woven from their very fabric. Thanks to his attribute "Shadow Member," he wasn't merely hiding, but had become part of the darkness itself, the forest's silence broken only by the whispers of wind through the leaves. His steps were silent, a habit ingrained in him after a year of relentless training, moving through the palace without a sound.

After a quarter of an hour of stealthy movement, Orion spotted his first prey: a magnificent Lightning Panther, its muscles taut and its eyes gleaming with a golden brilliance. The speed of these creatures was legendary, but Orion didn't flinch. He gathered his strength and lunged with astonishing speed towards the panther, anticipating its movement. Before the panther could react, Orion had unleashed a series of swift and precise martial arts maneuvers, momentarily paralyzing the beast. Then, with a flicker of motion, he formed a black dagger from the shadows surging around him, as if darkness itself were materializing into a deadly weapon. A single, decisive thrust into the panther's head ended its life, the large body falling to the ground with a muffled thud.

Orion paused for a moment, breathing calmly, then focused on the panther's corpse. "Shadow Call," he whispered in his mind, feeling a slight drain of mana. From the panther's shadow stretched out on the ground, another shadowy creature emerged, but it was different from what he had imagined. It wasn't transparent, but rather a dense black shadow, devoid of clear features except for two glowing blue eyes that pierced the darkness. The specter bowed its head before Orion, silent obedience radiating from it. Orion noted the slight mana cost, observing the difference between summoning solid creatures and ethereal specters.

"Legolas. Severus," Orion called, feeling his shadows thicken behind him. Two figures materialized: the tall, bone-masked Legolas, and Severus, concealed beneath his black cloak, his blue eyes glowing in the gloom. They bowed in turn, their loyalty evident. Orion looked at his small team, then at the dense forest ahead.

"We begin the hunt," Orion said, his tone quiet but firm with resolve. "Legolas, scout from above. Severus, stay by my side."

They ventured into the forest, Legolas moving with agility through the trees, and Severus following Orion with silent steps. Orion watched his surroundings intently, utilizing his sharpened senses and heightened intuition. Before long, they heard a deep growl. It was an Earth Bear, a massive beast with thick brown fur and natural armor plating.

"Earth Bear. Strong and slow," Orion murmured. "Severus, engage it. Legolas, prepare to support."

Severus charged towards the bear, while Orion formed a massive hand of shadows that gripped a section of the bear's armor, attempting to impede it. Then, Orion morphed some of the shadows into throwing knives and hurled them with precision at the bear's joints to weaken its movement. Legolas intervened with a volley of shadow arrows, piercing the gaps in the armor and causing the beast pain. After a short but fierce struggle, the bear collapsed to the ground. Orion summoned the Earth Bear's shadow specter, a hulking black mass with glowing blue eyes, but it was slower than the panther's.

Next, they encountered a Fire Tiger, a lithe creature radiating searing heat. The fight was different, the tiger relying on speed and fiery attacks. Orion formed a shadow katana, dueling the tiger with skill, while Severus dodged the fiery assaults and struck with his weakening claws. Legolas used his arrows to keep the tiger at bay and find openings in its fiery defense. Ultimately, Orion managed to cleave the tiger with his shadow blade. He summoned the Fire Tiger's shadow specter, which was as agile and fast as the panther, but wreathed in blue shadow flames.

They continued their hunt, facing numerous other beasts: swift Wind Wolves, armored Sand Scorpions, and even a colossal Thunder Bird. Each time, Orion fought intelligently, utilizing a combination of martial arts, shadow manipulation (forming swords, shields, shadow whips), and his summoning abilities. After killing each beast, he would summon its shadow specter, adding it to his fighting force.

By the end of the day, Orion's team had grown significantly. He had the shadow specters of the panther, the Earth Bear, the Fire Tiger, along with the specters of Wind Wolves and Sand Scorpions. Each specter possessed the characteristics of the original beast, but was formed of shadows and obeyed Orion completely.

Orion stood in the middle of the forest, surrounded by his growing team of shadow specters, with Legolas and Severus at his side. He looked at the shadows dancing around them, feeling an immense power gathering under his control. This was just the beginning, but Orion knew that every battle, and every specter summoned, brought him a step closer to true power. The symphony of shadows he conducted in this savage forest was merely the opening note.

Alright, here's a translation of that short passage into English, keeping the meaning intact:

When Orion saw the sunset, he decided to go home. "Rest," Orion said, and the Shadow Creatures and Shadow Ghosts entered his shadow. Although they do not tire and their stamina doesn't run out, their mana does.
