Sunders was wise to stop Angor, but he couldn't find out what happened to Lawson if he couldn't get inside.
Angor considered and looked at Melantha, who was still being supported by Greya.
He released a strand of nightmare aura from his fingertip and placed it between Melantha's eyebrows.
Melantha was still in a state of confusion and fear. After being stimulated by Angor's illusion, her eyes seemed to clear up a little. However, her eyelids were slowly closing, which meant that her mind was getting blurry.
"Is Mayor Lawson in there?" Angor quickly asked before Melantha lost her mind.
"Yes," Melantha answered blankly.
"How's he doing? Is … is he still alive? "Angor asked again.
Melantha subconsciously recalled the scene from before. She was standing in front of Lawson, observing the strange darkness on the screen with him. They were even discussing what the Void Crack that appeared out of nowhere was.
But the next second, an endless beam of light rushed into the hall they were in.
Then, Melantha saw an arrow piercing through Lawson's heart. A bright light flashed, followed by a huge explosion.
Due to the nightmare aura, Melantha's emotions were temporarily suppressed. She was still in a daze because of Angor's questions. Even so, Melantha's eyes were filled with tears.
Two lines of tears flowed down his cheeks silently and unknowingly.
"Is he still alive?" Angor asked again while controlling the nightmare aura he left in Melantha's eyebrows.
As the nightmare aura spread, Melantha finally spoke again. "I don't know. I only saw his mouth moving."
Angor snapped his fingers and sent the nightmare aura into Melantha's mind. Melantha only saw a flash of white light before she was dragged into a dark dream.
Melantha fainted, and Greya caught her in time.
Angor looked at Sunders and whispered, "I'm going to check."
Angor didn't explain, and Sunders didn't stop him this time. He only nodded. Angor knew what he was doing. Sunders could remind him, but Sunders would not, and could not, interfere with his decision.
Without hesitation, Angor turned around and entered the shining metal hall.
Angor's goal was clear. He had to check Lawson's condition. After all, it was highly possible that the Germinal believers were behind all this, and Lawson's fate had a lot to do with Angor's involvement.
Even if it was Lawson's idea to expel the Germinal believers, Angor would still feel guilty if something bad happened to Lawson.
This was why Angor had to enter the hall to check Lawson's condition. If Lawson was still alive, Angor would try his best to prevent any mishaps caused by his own carelessness.
Of course, Angor wasn't a reckless person.
When he asked Melantha the question, he was sure that Melantha had come out from the metal hall. Since that was the case, it meant that the hall would be filled with light for a short period of time.
Which was why he chose to enter the hall.
When the dazzling light created a floating sea of light around him, Angor narrowed his eyes. Just as he thought, these rays of light did not cause any harm to him.
However, he faintly felt that there was a familiar aura within these lights.
He held back his desire to study the light. The most important thing right now was to check Lawson's condition. Following his memory, he quickly walked to the center of the metal hall.
Usually, Lawson would be nearby, either hunched over the experiment table or monitoring the people under the holographic screen.
Soon, Angor saw the vague outline of a lab table.
There seemed to be a large number of documents on the experiment table, and something else on it.
He took a few steps forward and felt that he kicked something. When he picked it up and saw what it was, his expression changed to one of shock.
Without hesitation, Angor rushed to the lab table.
He felt a chill down his spine when he saw the round object that was still making cracking noises on the table.
The item he picked up earlier fell to the ground without making a sound. It was a severed arm.
In front of Angor was a severed head on the lab table.
Lawson's head.
The man's eyes were closed, and he looked peaceful. His hair was standing up, and there were lightning bolts dancing in the air, which made the air crackle.
"Lawson is dead?" Angor looked at the severed head and repeated the words in his mind.
He was too late. Was it because of the arrow?
Angor did not know how to react. He was not as desperate as Melantha, but he was still in a bad mood. He felt sad for some reason. After all, he was partly responsible for Lawson's death.
Angor let out a long sigh. He felt sorry for Lawson's death.
However, something unexpected happened. As Angor sighed, the ears of the severed head on the table twitched, and the closed eyes suddenly opened.
"It's Melantha. So you're a super dimensional wizard." A cold voice reached Angor's ears.
Angor quickly regained his senses and looked at Lawson. To be exact, he was looking at Lawson's head.
"You're still alive?" Angor asked in surprise.
"Thirty seconds later, I couldn't cut off the connection between machine energy and the outside world, and my brain would've died due to the loss of energy." Lawson's voice was still as cold as a metal puppet's.
"What should I do?" Angor didn't ask why.
"Use an energy-isolating defensive spell to create a barrier around my head." Lawson consumed energy when he spoke, so his voice was getting weaker and weaker.
Angor didn't hesitate and created a barrier around Lawson's head. Once the barrier was formed, the lightning bolts on Lawson's hair were no longer connected to the outside world, and Lawson regained his energy.
"If you have time, can you draw an Energy Balance Rune for me? I need it to protect my head."
Angor nodded. "Sure. But I need to get you out of here first."
Angor was worried that the light here would cause more damage to Lawson.
Lawson: "Okay."
"Do you need me to find another body for you?" Angor asked.
Luo Sen said indifferently, "No need, it has been completely destroyed by an arrow. But most of my body is made of machines. I can ask Muse to replace it in the future. "
Angor nodded. Most of his body parts were modified into machines, which was probably why Lawson was still alive.
