A moment later, the apprentice from Gravity Forest suddenly dropped to his knees with tears of blood flowing down his cheeks.
The other apprentices looked at him in confusion. They didn't know what happened between Angor and the apprentice from Gravity Forest. Why did the apprentice suddenly drop to his knees?
"You can leave now. As for him, I'll leave him to his own devices." Angor's voice reached everyone's ears.
Although they were still a little curious about what had happened during the period of silence, they were still curious about what had happened. However, since a "super fighter" told them to leave, they didn't dare to say anything. They looked at each other and quickly ran away.
Angor glanced at the crying apprentice on the ground and left.
Not long after Angor left, the aura of the apprentice from Gravity Forest slowly faded away, and he fell into eternal slumber in Moliere's Land.
After saying goodbye to Gregory, Angor and Bobota headed to the Ice Valley in the north.
Using Gondola would attract too much attention. There were countless demons in the Abyss Plane, and Angor didn't want to get involved in unnecessary battles. They weren't far from Ice Valley anyway, so they didn't use a vehicle.
Angor maintained a steady speed along the way while he tried to recall what happened earlier.
Just as Angor expected, Zafarah's information was a coincidence, and the informant was the apprentice from Gravity Forest.
According to Zafarah's description, the wizards from Gravity Forest all agreed on Sunders' plan. After all, there was an unresolvable grudge between them. However, whether they wanted to spread the grudge to the entire Phantom Island was another matter.
There were two factions. The moderate faction didn't want to spread the grudge to the others, which was not only unwise, but would also lead to a full-scale retaliation from Brute Cavern. The radical faction believed that Sunders and Phantom Island were allies, and they should get rid of them all at once. Otherwise, there would be no end to their troubles.
Both sides had their own opinions, but in the end, no one reached a consensus.
Zafarah was a radical, and he happened to be nearby. The apprentice recognized Angor's identity and told Zafarah about it, hoping to claim credit for his achievement.
This was basically the whole process, which was similar to Angor's initial guess.
He didn't really care about Zafarah's information. He was more concerned about something else.
The method he used to make the Gravity Forest apprentice speak was actually a mental illusion.
Through psychological oppression, he could create a psychological illusion space. Angor's questions were all directed at the man's mind. In other people's eyes, it was as if they were acting in a pantomime.
He tried this trick before, but he didn't know much about it, so he could only use it when there was a huge gap in power between him and his target.
The apprentice from Gravity Forest was about as strong as a level-2 apprentice. Apart from physical strength, he wasn't that much weaker than a level-2 apprentice. He wasn't planning to use Mind Illusion to control his opponent. He only wanted to use Nightmare Fear to force the man to speak his mind.
However, he didn't expect that the Heart Illusion Technique alone would make him open his mouth, and the Art of Fear would become his killing move.
This time, Angor didn't use his right hand to cast Mind Illusion Technique. Instead, he used his right eye.
The effect of Mind Illusion Technique from his right eye was obviously stronger than before.
Was this the special effect of his right eye?
Angor tried to test it out. The other nightmare illusions he cast through his right eye did not have such an effect. However, Mind Illusion Technique did, including Art of Fear.
Angor tried to recall what Sunders told him about Mind Illusion Technique. Mind Illusion Technique was an illusion that affected emotions and desires. The prerequisite to learning it was to be proficient in psychology. Due to the complexity of human nature, Mind Illusion Technique required a lot of effort.
"Affect thoughts, emotions, and desires?" Angor mumbled to himself. He suddenly thought of something.
Eyes were often used as an outlet for emotions. Most of the time, eyes could express one's emotions and desires. Logically speaking, using the eyes as the channel for casting illusions did seem to have the effect of affecting one's emotions. However, this effect was usually negligible. Coincidentally, there was a huge change in his right eye. Was that why this effect was so obvious?
Since he couldn't find any other explanation, Angor could only assume this for now. When he had time, he could use this as a research topic to support his research.
…
"Angor, what did they say about the little girl?" Bobota suddenly asked.
Angor didn't hide anything and told Bobota everything he knew.
Bobota spoke in a doubtful tone, "Yi Su's behavior is too different. When those apprentices forced her to hand over the item she stole, Yi Su kept insisting that she didn't steal it. Also, judging by her strength, there's no way she would be forced to run away by a bunch of apprentices. There's a huge difference between her strength and her personality."
"If she's been hiding it for half a month, why did she suddenly attack you?"
Angor was sure that he had never seen Yi Su before. So why did Yi Su suddenly attack him? Was Yi Su in cahoots with Zafarah? Did she see Zafarah in trouble and wanted to get revenge?
But Yi Su chewed and swallowed Zafarah, which didn't look like an accomplice at all.
Perhaps only Yi Su herself could answer this question.
However, Angor didn't want to run into Yi Su again. His trip to the Abyss Plane had already caused so much trouble, and he didn't want another one.
They didn't run into any enemies on their way from Moliere's Land to Ice Valley.
Instead, they ran into a group of patrolling half-blood demons in the forest outside of Ice Valley. However, the half-blood demons quickly ran away when they saw the flame mark on Angor's earlobe.
Oderklas's mark wasn't a big deal in other places, but at least in Ice Valley, it was a great deterrent.
They reached the entrance of Ice Valley without any problems. Endless snow and wind were blowing everywhere, so they couldn't see anything clearly.
Angor activated his flame mark, and a fiery glow surrounded him and Bobota.
"Let's jump."
Angor and Bobota jumped into the Ice Valley covered in snow and wind.
They couldn't see the way ahead at all.
Angor had no choice but to follow the direction he remembered. He didn't forget to remind Bobota to stay within the range of the fiery glow at all times.
The snow and wind in Ice Valley wasn't normal. It was created by a special energy source. Everyone who came into contact with the wind and snow would be cursed.
Apart from the snow and wind, there were many other dangerous places. Even though Angor had the flame mark on him, he still felt a little nervous.
After taking many turns, Angor finally saw the silhouette of a palace on a cliff in the distance.
He was about to take Bobota to the palace when Bobota suddenly began to tremble. Bobota's legs were shaking, and he quickly pointed behind them.
Angor looked back.
A giant dragon covered in terrifying red flames suddenly appeared behind them. It didn't emit any aura, nor did it give off any heat.
Compared to Angor and Bobota, the dragon was dozens of times bigger.
Clouds and mist swirled around its ferocious head, while its cold, vertical pupils were quietly staring at Angor.
Angor quickly bowed to the dragon. "Mister Oderklas, I've learned how to make a Fire Stone, and I've obtained the necessary materials. I'll make it as soon as I can, Mister Oderklas."
Oderklas stared at Angor with his cold eyes for a while. "You've changed a lot."
Oderklas was always a straightforward person. He would never say anything he didn't want to. But now, he was talking about something irrelevant, which meant he was very surprised.
Angor didn't expect Oderklas to say something like this either. He tried to think of a way to answer, but Oderklas didn't wait for Angor's response. He simply flapped his wings and flew toward the ice palace on the cliff.
Angor was a little surprised, but he quickly followed along with Bobota.
A moment later, they entered the palace. The interior of the palace was the same as before. It was still empty and quiet.
Oderklas had changed from his dragon form to his human form.
He stood in front of the painting in front of the palace with his back facing Angor.
Angor looked at the painting and couldn't help but think about Feng. Feng didn't make the painting himself, but Angor did ask Oderklas to draw it.
Feng's role in this game of chess was too obvious.
If Angor returned to the southern wizarding region, he would probably have something to do with Feng. After all, there was still the Tidal Realm waiting for him to explore.
After a while, Oderklas finally turned around and looked at Angor.
Oderklas's human form still gave off an indescribable sense of majesty and pressure. His hair looked like red silk with flames dancing on it. His robe was black, but there were bright red patterns on the edges. These patterns were irregular and looked like magma surging under the dark soil.
Angor had experienced it before, so he didn't mind it. However, this was the first time for Bobota. His legs were still trembling.
"He's my … assistant," Angor said in a low voice.
Angor wanted to say "friend", but he knew that Oderklas wouldn't accept him as a "friend", so he simply said that Bobota was his alchemy assistant.
