The sky was completely dark. It was not the darkness of the night. Instead, it was the darkness of death.
The ground was ablaze with flames, which seemed to be coming from the cracks of lava. Through the light, one could see that the ground was dyed red as if it was dyed red by blood.
In this land that was filled with an oppressive atmosphere, a white-robed youth who was originally laughing arrogantly suddenly turned into a sinister and terrifying Alien. He roared as he pounced towards a terrifying black shadow.
On the other side, a familiar figure slowly stood up.
Dodoro opened his eyes. His pupils shrunk into slits, and his forehead was covered with sweat.
He felt a chill down his spine and an indescribable feeling in his heart.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps could be heard. It was a stooped figure walking in from outside the door. She first came to the fireplace. With a snap of her fingers, more than half of the flames in the fireplace were extinguished.
Then, she slowly walked to the bed. The woolen carpet on the floor softened her footsteps.
"You're sweating. You don't look like you just slept. More like you've been exercising all night," said an old voice.
Dodoro finally realized what was going on and looked at the old woman beside him. "Professor Maya, you're here."
"You knew I was coming?" It was Maya, a Prophet from Brute Cavern who was also known as "Stargazer".
Dodoro nodded. "I saw something."
Maya gave Dodoro a thoughtful look. She knew Dodoro was not lying to her. He really did see something, and it involved her. However, Maya did not feel like she was being watched at all.
What a terrifying talent. Maya sighed in her mind but did not show it on her face.
Maya walked to the window and opened the curtains. She could still see the stars in the dark blue sky, which meant it was still early morning.
"I sensed a strong energy fluctuation in your room." Maya pushed open the window, and the cool breeze from outside blew in, taking away the depression that had accumulated in the room overnight. "Tell me, what happened?"
"I saw it again." Dodoro lowered his head and whispered, "I saw that image again."
"That image? You mean the one you saw in Starliege Church? " Maya raised an eyebrow. She knew Dodoro would often see such images in the Abyss Plane. Ever since Stargazing Day, Dodoro had been seeing them more and more often. However, Dodoro was a typical taciturn person. He was willing to talk to Angor about anything. But when it came to other people, he would keep his mouth shut and keep his mouth shut until he got to the bottom of the matter.
That was why Maya knew very little about it.
As her student, Maya respected Dodoro's decision and did not try to pry. After all, the Art of Prophecy was very different from other Arts of Divination. Speaking or not speaking wasn't just a matter of one's heart. It was very likely that it would involve some unpredictable changes.
. this time, I saw it was in my dream. Also, this time, the scene isn't static. "Dodoro recalled the dream and said slowly.
"In other words, you saw something happening?" Maya asked.
"Yes, I saw something. Especially …" Dodoro put a hand on his pounding heart as he recalled a familiar figure. He frowned and began to sweat again.
"What did you see?" Maya was surprised to hear that Dodoro was going to tell her what he saw.
"I think I saw …" Dodoro paused for a while before he said a name.
"Angor. I think I saw Angor." Dodoro suddenly stood up. "That's Angor. How come I didn't notice it before?"
"I remember that you once mentioned that the image you saw seemed to be a white-robed young man. Why is it Angor now? "
"The young man in the white robe is another … person." Dodoro hesitated when he said the word "person". In the previous image, the young man in the white robe turned into a terrifying monster. "Angor is there too."
"So, there are two people. What happened next?" Maya asked.
Dodoro looked a little uneasy. "I also saw a shadow with a terrifying aura. I think it's a demon from the Abyss Plane."
"A demon from the Abyss Plane?" Maya remembered that Dodoro did ask about a demon from the Abyss Plane.
But why did Angor and a young man in a white robe appear in the same image as a demon from the Abyss Plane? Maya frowned. Angor was not strong enough to reach the level of a demon. Did he become a follower of a demon?
Dodoro looked up at Maya. "Angor is in danger. I want to save him."
"You think you can save him?" Maya looked outside the window. They were in a dense forest, and the mountains in the distance were all covered in green. "If it's really a demon from the Abyss Plane, who in the entire southern wizarding region can save him?"
"But I …" Dodoro swallowed the rest of his words.
Seeing Dodoro's hesitation, Maya considered and said, "Let's return to Brute Cavern tomorrow. I'll tell Mister Rein what you said, and he will make a decision. Also, I can use the Star Tower to predict Angor's fate. "
Maya sighed in her mind. If Angor did not have an item that could block prophecies, she would not have to rely on the Star Tower's power.
Dodoro had spent some time in the wizarding world, and he was getting used to the rules of wizardry. There were many things that he could not do as he wished.
Like saving Angor's life. How could Angor do it even though he was in a hurry? In the face of a great and indescribable existence, even if he went, what could he do?
The only thing he could do now was to return to Brute Cavern and ask for help from other wizards.
"We're leaving tomorrow, but we can't miss today's lesson." Maya pointed her walking stick at the window. A ray of starlight streaked across the sky and landed somewhere in the forest.
"Use your Astrology spell to find where Starlight is sleeping."
Dodoro froze for a second after hearing Maya's explanation. Then he quickly leaned against the window.
Dawn was approaching since the star of Venus had already appeared. He had only grasped the basics of the starry night sky, but he had no way of comprehending the daytime constellations. Therefore, if he wanted to complete his goal today, he had to make use of this short period of time before dawn to complete the celestial derivation. Otherwise, his goal today would definitely fail!
Maya nodded in satisfaction as she watched Dodoro's anxious look. However, she still felt strange when she thought about what Dodoro told her. She returned to her room and began her calculations. Since she could not predict Angor's future, she would try to find someone close to him, such as Sunders.
A day later, Dodoro returned from the forest, looking exhausted.
Luckily, he managed to find Starlight's sleeping spot in a valley before the moon and stars began to dim.
As soon as he returned to the Wizard Tower, Maya's voice came into his ears. "Although the mission has been completed, when you first used Astrology to find the target, you only recorded the target's location. You didn't think about deducing which path was the most convenient to take. You need to be flexible at all times and not just recognize one target."
Dodoro's clothes were a bit tattered. She was right. He encountered a difficult path while looking for his target.
"Get some rest. We'll leave tomorrow." Maya did not say much.
A moment later, Dodoro lay down on his bed and recalled the dream he had last night. The dark sky, the burning fire, and the blood-soaked ground.
Would he dream about it again tonight?
Dodoro closed his eyes.
…
Angor suddenly opened his eyes.
He was panting heavily, and his body was soaked in sweat. Anyone who went through such an ordeal would feel the same way.
After a while, he finally regained his senses and focused his eyes again.
The sky was pitch-black. It was a kind of lifeless darkness. It was even more oppressive than the darkness of the void.
He felt like he was lying on solid ground. But he also felt something hot on his back, as if the ground was being roasted.
Wait. Ground? There's a ground here?! Could it be that he had already escaped from that dangerous void?
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, he heard some rustling noises near his ears.
"Are you alright, Mister?" A cute boy with two horns on his forehead approached him.
Angor was a little surprised. "I'm fine, Gregory. Did we get out of the void crack? Where's Toby? "
Gregory nodded with a strange expression. "We made it out. But it doesn't feel safe here. I'm feeling a bit uneasy."
Gregory paused and took out Toby from his bosom. "Its name is Toby, right? He's here. "
Angor nodded and took Toby into his arms. Toby was still sleeping.
After making sure Toby was safe, Angor finally realized that the chains binding him were gone!
He pushed his hands against the ground and tried to sit up.
The burning sensation on his hand made him frown.
He looked around and saw some cracks on the ground in the distance, which seemed to be glowing in the red light of lava. There was also a large amount of fire burning nearby.
This was a lava field? No wonder the ground felt so hot.
"Do you know where we are?" Angor asked Gregory.
Gregory shook his head. "No. I passed out and didn't remember the coordinates. Even if I didn't faint, I probably couldn't find the coordinates. We changed our path so many times."
Gregory's words reminded Angor of what happened before he passed out.
Space collapses, space collapses, monsters in the crevices … Angor went through one of the most exciting and dangerous journeys he had ever faced.
Bobota kept changing his path, and in the end, he didn't even know where he ended up.
Angor fainted because he ran into a spatial distortion during his last change of path. He couldn't remember what happened afterward. When he woke up, he was already in this place.
