Sunders' expression turned serious.
He didn't recognize the statue at first. But when Angor told him that it was the Grand Demon God, Scholar of Cruelty, Sunders felt chills running down his spine.
Scholar of Cruelty was a Grand Demon God!
An ordinary Demon God was already capable of causing a raging storm, let alone a Great Demon God!
"Why do you have a statue of Scholar of Cruelty?!" Sunders frowned and stared at Angor's eyes.
Angor remained silent for a moment before he explained what happened in the underground hall. "I met Scholar of Cruelty's consciousness in the hall …"
Sunders' expression grew even more serious. "… And you accepted the demon god's request?"
Angor nodded.
"You should know that you can't underestimate anything related to a demon god." Sunders looked at Angor and sighed. It was rare for him to be worried about something like this.
Angor couldn't be blamed for this. Under Scholar of Cruelty's careful planning, there were only two options for Angor. Either he agreed, or he died.
Now that he agreed, as Angor's teacher, Sunders had to think of a way to minimize the demon god's influence on Angor.
Sunders fell into deep thought. He quickly searched his mind for any cases related to the Demon God.
In the wizarding world, it was very convenient to use the power of a demon god to achieve a desired result in a short time. This was why many wizards had something to do with a demon god, either openly or secretly. However, most of them didn't have direct contact with the demon god. At most, they would make secret deals with the demon god's avatars. There weren't many cases where a demon god's consciousness was directly involved.
After all, wizards who actively contacted a demon god and were affected by it were usually people with low potential or who were eager for quick success. Demon gods wouldn't pay too much attention to such wizards.
As for Magi with great potential, they would definitely be cautious and not take the initiative to get involved with the demon gods. Once upon a time, Sunders told Angor to stay away from anything related to demon gods. But he didn't expect to meet with trouble here.
Sunders recalled many cases related to demon gods and compared them with Angor's. Then he noticed something strange.
"You only agreed to Scholar of Cruelty's request? You didn't sign any punishment? "
"That Scholar of Cruelty didn't leave a mark on you?" Sunders frowned.
Angor shook his head again.
Sunders frowned. This did not match the example he saw. Even the Adepts who communicated with the Demon God's clones would leave the mark of the Demon God, let alone those who directly faced the Demon God's will.
This kind of person was actually very easy to distinguish. Every time Sunders saw such people, he could smell the disgusting odor coming from them. Brute Cavern had people like them, apprentices and wizards alike.
Sunders didn't sense any aura of a demon when he saw Angor. He didn't know that Angor made a deal with the Scholar of Cruelty until Angor admitted it himself.
"Tell me more about what happened. Starting from when you fell into the underground pipe. Don't leave out a single detail," said Sunders.
Angor didn't know what was going on, but he still told Sunders everything from the beginning.
This time, he explained everything in great detail, including the runes he saw on the underground pipe and how he tried to activate the door at the end of the tunnel. Every detail, including his own thoughts and guesses, was explained in great detail.
"… It can read minds. I didn't say anything, and it already knew a lot about me. It even went to my soul space —"
"Wait!" Sunders suddenly stopped him. "Scholar of Cruelty checked the wound on your soul?"
Angor nodded.
"What's the result?" Sunders gulped. As Angor's teacher, he knew what happened to Angor's soul. For others, the soul was weak and helpless. But Angor's soul was a taboo.
Even Sunders didn't dare to study it. He could only guess that the key to "Nightmare Form" was the soul.
"I don't know. I only remember seeing green patterns. The Scholar of Cruelty's main consciousness left my soul space. I saw a green pattern that represents' shielding '. Then Jupiter woke up."
Sunders finally realized that the green "shielding" pattern he sensed on Angor's body was the "shielding" pattern. However, it seemed that the green pattern could only block mind reading.
What Angor told Sunders next was basically the same as what he told Sunders. He only added some of his own thoughts, such as how he considered the matter before agreeing to help Scholar of Cruelty.
Sunders fell into silence again.
Scholar of Cruelty's sudden retreat from Angor's soul space and no longer tried to explore Angor's soul space.
Sunders put himself in Scholar of Cruelty's shoes. According to the outside world, Scholar of Cruelty was a unique demon god who was more knowledgeable than most wizards. Also, Scholar of Cruelty was a demon god who pursued knowledge and research. Considering Scholar of Cruelty's behavior, Scholar of Cruelty would definitely want to study Angor's soul after noticing it. There was no way Scholar of Cruelty would give up so easily. The only reason Scholar of Cruelty gave up was that Scholar of Cruelty failed.
Scholar of Cruelty lost the battle against the entity behind Angor's soul.
This was the most likely explanation, and it also explained why Scholar of Cruelty didn't leave a truename mark on Angor's soul space.
A demon god's truename mark would be left on Angor's soul.
Scholar of Cruelty didn't do that because Scholar of Cruelty didn't dare to.
Sunders sighed in relief. At the same time, he was also curious about the entity behind Angor's soul. Even the Grand Demon God wasn't strong enough to deal with it. What was it? However, even though he was curious, he understood that curiosity would kill the cat if he didn't have strength as a prerequisite.
Scholar of Cruelty didn't dare to leave a mark on Angor's soul, so he left the statue next to Angor so he could observe Angor's soul.
According to this logic, everything was in line with the truth.
It seemed to Sanders that this might be the truth.
"Perhaps Scholar of Cruelty is afraid of the entity behind your soul, so he didn't leave a mark on you."
Sunders paused for a moment. "But you need to remember that no matter how special your soul is, it doesn't belong to you. It might even become a threat to you. Also, if your body dies, your soul will become a lonely boat in the endless world, never to reach the other side."
Sunders was trying to warn Angor not to place his hopes on an unknown power.
Only something he could understand and understand would belong to him.
Angor nodded. "Will I get hurt if I keep this statue with me? Scholar of Cruelty told me that I can use it. Then I met Iyadese and it told me that it's a 'Descendant'. What's a 'Descendant'? "
"A 'Descendant' is a container that allows a demon god's will to descend upon you. When you use it, it means that you need to pray for the demon god's mercy, and the demon god's will will descend upon you on its own.
"If you pray for the demon god's will, you'll have to pay an unimaginable price. So, don't use it. " Sunders' tone softened a bit. "I don't know if this' Descendant 'will bring you any harm. But from what I can see, you're different from the others who were marked by a demon god. Even if it does, it won't affect you much. I'll look into the literature when I get back to Brute Cavern.
"Also, this' Descendant 'can contain the demon god's will. Maybe it's watching you from somewhere. You should keep your green shield on at all times. If you want to do something secretive, open your Nightmare Domain and leave it outside."
Sunders sighed deeply as he looked at Angor.
Why did he feel that this kid was getting more and more troublesome? It was fine if he wasn't there before. But now, he was in Rasudran, and in such a short time … Sunders rubbed his temples and felt a little tired.
As he sighed, the tower suddenly began to shake violently.
Rubble also began to fall from above.
Angor and Sunders looked at each other and quickly moved. They were very close to the door, so they quickly reached it.
The door was wide enough to allow a giant to enter. The door was wide open, and the first thing they saw when they arrived was a cloud of dust outside.
The smoke was either the dust from the fierce battle or the mist from the collapse of Rasudran. But soon, the dust was covered by a layer of cloud.
"Drip, drip, drip —" They suddenly heard the gentle sound of a woman's voice.
Then, a light drizzle began to fall from the sky.
Both Angor and Sunders thought of a name at the same time — Nitotep!
"Nitotep's rain cloud has completely surrounded the tower," Sunders muttered. "What is she trying to do?"
