Fairy World, Midworld.
Angor followed behind the old man and flew into the dark, barren mountain range.
"You seem to have a problem with Taros?" Sunders suddenly asked when they were halfway through their flight.
Angor hesitated and nodded.
Not long ago, they were still in Floating Mech City. But now, they were transported to Fairy World through a teleportation array. They were planning to use Silent Hill to get to Dark Castle.
After they were teleported to Silent Hill, they didn't stay for long and left right away.
Before leaving Silent Hill, they had to pass by a talkative double-faced spirit.
The spirit was the gatekeeper of Silent Hill, named Talos.
"Isabella tried to kill me in Silent Hill. I tried to run to Talos, but he didn't open the door for me."
With nowhere to run, he had to face Isabella directly.
Angor knew that Isabella was only toying with him. Even if Talos opened the door, Isabella would still catch up to him. However, Angor learned this on his own later. The only way for him to survive was to run away from Talos. However, when he reached Talos, the talkative spirit didn't respond at all. It was as quiet as an ordinary stone.
That meant Talos wasn't on Angor's side. In other words, it didn't matter if Isabella killed Angor or not.
Earlier, when they passed by Silent Hill and heard Taros' flattering words, Angor couldn't help but mock him. "Now you're all talkative, aren't you? Why didn't you say anything back then? "
Because of this, Sunders was now talking to him.
"I see," Sunders said. "Even if he knows you're from Phantom Island, he won't let you go in such a situation." Sunders spoke in a plain tone.
Angor thought Sunders was going to tell him about "reality", and he was right. Sunders already pointed out how cruel reality was.
However, he quickly changed the topic. "The Double-faced Stone Spirit is also a type of spirit, just like the three ancestor souls of Brute Cavern. But it's only two thousand years old, so it's not that strong. It's only good at defense, but it's not that strong in other aspects. If a truth-finder adept were to deal with him, he would be reduced to ashes with ease. "
Angor still didn't understand what Sunders was trying to say.
Sunders continued, "Silent Hill seems like a decent wizard organization, but it's actually the weakest one in Fairytown. At best, it's as strong as Phantom Island. However, if Phantom Island has another truth-finder wizard, they'll be stronger than Silent Hill. "
Angor finally understood what Sunders was hinting at.
It was telling him that as long as he could become a truth-finder wizard, he would be able to kill Taros. By then, even if Silent Hill came looking for him, Phantom Island would be there to back him up.
. "Angor was touched.... but he didn't think it was necessary to do that.
He was angry at Talos for blocking his way, but at least Talos didn't attack him when he was down. Angor's real grudge was the culprit who almost killed him — Dusk Queen, Isabella.
However, he still had a long way to go before Isabella could defeat him.
Even if he really wanted to avenge himself, now was not the time.
He didn't want to dwell on Taros' matter since they were heading to Dark Castle right now. And the current owner of Dark Castle was Isabella.
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he felt.
Angor changed the topic and told Sunders about what happened in Floating Mech City.
"Winchester and Brofen didn't go looking for you, did they?" Angor asked.
Sunders nodded. "No. Don't worry about them. They don't want to get into trouble even more than you do."
They didn't go looking for Sunders, but Sunders did. Since Brofen's curse was not completely removed yet, Winchester knew that Angor was close to Mithra, and that Angor might even influence Mithra's plan to improve his blood coagulation potion. Winchester, on the other hand, didn't want to get involved in Angor's business even more after learning that Angor was close to Mithra.
Angor didn't need to worry about them anymore.
"They won't do anything to you, but I'm sure Moonfrost Union already knows about your appearance in Floating Mech City. I just don't know what they'll do to you next, "Sanders said.
If Monkey already went to see Oderklas, they wouldn't pay much attention to Angor. But if they didn't, they would try everything they could to find Angor.
It all depended on luck.
Still, no matter what the Moonfrost Union did, Sunders was confident that he could protect Angor. Even if Monkey came in person, Sunders wouldn't be afraid.
After all, there was another piece of news about Angor's appearance in Floating Mech City.
Angor had become a member of the R&D Department.
Even if Monkey ignored the authority of the department and attacked Angor, Brute Cavern wouldn't just sit by and watch. Brute Cavern had been a desert for alchemy for a long time. Now that Angor had become a member of the R&D Department, he was like a spring that watered the desert and helped it grow into an oasis in the future.
No one in Brute Cavern would let anything happen to Angor.
Before Sunders left Floating Mech City, Mister Rein contacted Angor through Brute Cavern's station in Floating Mech City to confirm Angor's new status.
After that, Rein saw Angor as one of the key players in Brute Cavern's development. He wouldn't allow anything to happen to Angor.
"Originally, I thought that after you became an official Magus, the resources of the organization would be more heavily allocated to you. I didn't expect it to happen now. "Sunders sighed.
"Huh?" Angor didn't understand.
"You'll know when you return to Brute Cavern one day."
…
They crossed the dark mountains and arrived at a plain. "Here it is." Sunders stopped and said, "Here it is."
"This is it?" Angor looked around in confusion. There was nothing around him. It was a barren land. Also, he estimated that there was still some distance between them and Dark Castle.
"Let's go." Sunders didn't explain further. He waved a hand and created a space fissure.
When they went through the space rupture, Angor was surprised to see that they had arrived at Otherworld.
That was because the topography of the three worlds was the same. The only difference was the concentration of primal magic power. Therefore, the area they were currently in was actually still the barren plains from before.
As Angor looked around, he suddenly felt a tremor under his feet.
An earthquake?
Angor also heard the sound of wind sucking in air.
Both the source of the tremor and the sound came from behind them.
He looked back and saw something happening in the mountains behind him.
At the same time, dark clouds began to gather in the dark sky. Lightning bolts danced in the clouds, and thunder rumbled.
Thanks to the white light generated by the lightning bolts, Angor saw a large number of broken rocks rising from the mountains as if they were defying gravity.
While he was still trying to figure out what was going on, a giant hand the size of a mountain suddenly crossed over the top of a mountain.
Then, a head of unknown size slowly rose from between the mountains.
"Stop looking. Let's go." Without hesitation, Sunders led Angor to the other side of the wasteland. "There are many ancient monsters living in the inner layer of Fairy World. We've been traveling in Midworld for a long time because of this one."
"It used to be a Mountain Giant in Fairy World. However, after being soaked in dense mana for many years, it mutated and became a tough monster with thick skin. That mountain area is its territory. Try not to provoke it. It's very powerful. "
Sunders didn't seem to be lying. A monster that even Sunders thought was powerful had to be at least a truth-finder.
They only slowed down slightly when they could no longer see the mountain range.
While running, Sunders also told Angor about the "Mountain Giant".
This was a primordial monster that was left behind when the Fairy Tale World and the Southern Region merged. Back then, the Mountainous Giant was still an insignificant monster. Now, after a long period of growth and nurturing, it had grown into such a powerful monster.
Its energy level was not as high as a truth-finder wizard's, but its destructive power and defensive power were far beyond the limit of a level-1 truth-finder wizard.
However, the reason why the Mountain Giant was able to break through the limit of its bloodline and grow to such a size was mainly due to the dense mana in Fairy World. Because of the special mana conditions here, the Mountain Giant could only stay in its current form. It couldn't break through the barrier to enter Midworld or Surface World.
Therefore, the Mountain Giant didn't pose much of a threat to Fairy World. As long as they avoided the mountain range and entered Midworld, they would be safe.
"There aren't many monsters in Midworld because of the special mana environment here. Maybe the monsters here aren't easy to deal with," Sunders said.
Fortunately, there was only one monster on their way to Dark Castle that could threaten their safety.
