 However, due to his strong attachment, the Shadow Lord's spirit became an entity of pure darkness, shrouded in grey and red clouds (in the anime, the Shadow Lord takes on the form of a colossal black devil/demon made of shadows and black smoke with flaming red eyes).In his new form, the Shadow Lord's voice has the power to create or move objects.The Shadow Lord proceeded to conquer the Land of Dragons, but was foiled by Adin the blacksmith, who united all the seven tribes of the land into the nation of Deltora and created the only existing item that repelled the Shadow Lord - the Belt of Deltora.
