Tree Spirit's avatar also followed them to the center of the pool. It would be fine if there were only one or two lone monsters. However, if there was a large number of monsters coming, he had to inform the wizards guarding the mirror world to come and help. Otherwise, there would be endless trouble.
Everyone, including Tree Spirit, appeared above the central passage of the Star Pool.
However, when they arrived, they were all stunned.
Due to the different space, they could not see what was going on under the light. However, they could vaguely make out the shape of a shadow.
More importantly, the shadow was in the shape of a human.
"Why does it feel a bit like …" Wallace paused and didn't continue.
"Me too." Tree Spirit nodded in agreement.
Ness, who was floating beside them, gave his old friend Sunders a strange look. "Don't you think that shadow looks familiar?"
"It's Angor." Sunders quickly calmed down. "Yes, Angor."
When Sunders mentioned the name, the others all fell silent. They all felt that the shadow looked like Angor, but Angor had disguised himself before, so they could not be sure.
But now, they were surprised to hear Sunders mentioning Angor's name so confidently.
Was it really Angor?!
But wasn't Angor trapped in the ruin? Why did he show up now? Or was this a monster in disguise? Or was it some kind of illusion?
Sunders did not explain himself. He was not sure if it was really Angor, but judging from the shape of the shadow, there was no doubt that it was Angor.
"We'll know when he comes out," Rein said casually.
The light in the passage grew brighter and brighter.
No one said anything. They all looked at the light in front of them in silence.
When the light reached its peak, the spots of light began to peel off. Soon, all the light disappeared, leaving behind a red-haired, golden-eyed young man in slightly wrinkled clothes. He looked lazy.
The red-haired young man was surprised to see so many people outside. He looked around and paused for a second when he saw Sunders.
Seeing that no one spoke, the red-haired youth coughed and said, "Hello, I'm … Jagger."
Sunders' tense expression softened as he grinned. "Alright, don't use that name. Everyone knows you're Angor."
Angor … was the red-haired young man. Of course, he knew that the others already knew who he was. He only mentioned his name because he felt that the atmosphere was a bit tense, and it was better to relax a bit.
"You're really Angor?" Ness walked to Angor and inspected him carefully.
He thought for a moment and decided that there was no need for him to hide anymore, so he removed the transformation spell and returned to his blond form.
As Angor regained his original look, his aura changed from a lazy and unruly one to an elegant and calm one.
"It's really you!" Ness looked at Angor from head to toe. "Not an illusion, but a shapeshifting spell? You transplanted the skin of a Soft Amoeba? Has it really been cultivated? "
Before Ness could finish his question, he was pulled away by a strong force.
Tree Spirit grumbled, "You can ask such trivial things later."
Rein came to them. He did not speak right away. Instead, he looked at Angor from head to toe with a serious expression.
Angor also put away his relaxed expression. He could sense that Rein's gaze was looking through his body and into his soul.
Angor's body instinctively rejected the feeling, but he did not try to hide it. He knew what Rein was trying to do.
Anomaly detection.
Many powerful wizards were lost in the ruins, but Angor, who had just become a wizard, managed to come out safely. If Angor was in Rein's shoes, he would have doubted it too. Angor did not feel offended when Rein used the detection spell on him.
Rein's gaze softened a bit after a while.
There were some strange things on Angor's body, such as his bracelet and the mushrooms on his feet, which gave Rein a strange feeling. However, those mushrooms were only external accessories. Angor's body was not affected by any evil.
Rein smiled. "Now that you're out, it saves me a lot of trouble. I don't have to go in and look for you."
Rein's explanation made Angor realize that everyone was here because Rein wanted to enter the ruin.
Angor felt a little relieved that Rein did not enter the ruin in time. Although Rhine was very powerful, he was still a bit weaker than Minister Nuka. Moreover, the ruins were no longer ruins, but a huge Demiplane. As the ruler of the Demiplane, Minister Nuka would become even more tyrannical.
Rein would not be able to get away easily.
Meanwhile, Rein noticed the strange look in Angor's eyes.
Rein didn't use Mind Reading, but he still managed to read Angor's mind. "Something bad is going on in the ruin? Something powerful?"
Angor nodded. "Yes."
His words made the people who were relieved because of Angor's escape became nervous again.
"So the rumor is true? A minister is coming?" Sunders' voice came from the side.
Angor nodded again. "Yes. A very powerful one at that."
Angor did not mention Nuka's name. He did not want to reveal such confidential information in front of so many people. It was not that he could not trust anyone here. Wizards were too powerful. Even if there was no one around right now, someone might find out about it in the future.
Rein understood Angor's concern. "We'll talk about it later. Let's go."
The Astral Ruin was not a safe place, and Angor's value was irreplaceable.
Angor nodded and bowed to Wallace and Iron Granny. He then returned to Sunders.
Rein looked at Tree Spirit. "You go back with Sunders and Angor. I'll come find you later."
Rein was going to leave with Tree Spirit as well. However, when Angor mentioned "a minister is coming", Rein felt a strong sense of urgency. He had to strengthen the Wall of Light. If necessary, he might even have to cut this space apart.
These were all reasons for Rein to stay.
