"How's Nausica?"
Nisfu heard Angor's question as soon as he landed on the ground. He frowned and spoke in a resentful tone, "Are you sure there's nothing going on between the two of you? Why don't you care about me? "
"You're already in front of me."
"… I brought Nausica to Cindy's place. It's safer there."
Filo suddenly remembered something when he heard Cindy's name. "You went to Reef Island? How's Cindy?"
Ness glared at him. "Now you're asking about them? You're the leader of the team, and you just left them there without saying anything. You still have the nerve to ask. "
Filo chuckled awkwardly. "I left the log-in device with Cindy, didn't I? And you're here now, aren't you?"
Ness humphed and ignored Filo.
Angor felt a little relieved after hearing about Nausica's safety. "Didn't you say you asked for help?"
While speaking, he looked behind Ness … but there was no one there.
Ness came back alone.
On the other hand, Ness frowned like a budding daisy when he heard Angor mentioning "outside help". His expression was filled with displeasure.
"Brute Cavern usually has a lot of people, but I didn't see anyone today!" Ness complained in a frustrated tone. "Damn it! Brute Cavern is always crowded with people. I've really suffered a huge loss this time. "
Why did he say he didn't see anyone? Angor looked at Ness and waited for an explanation.
Ness sighed and told Angor everything about how he asked for help in the dream wasteland.
The first thing he did when he logged in was to contact people he knew through the mother tree, and the first one he contacted was Sunders. Or rather, his target was Sunders from the very beginning. Sunders was his friend, and Angor was also here. If Sunders asked for help, he could use Angor's situation as an excuse to convince Sunders to help him. Maybe he could even get some money from Sunders.
Unfortunately, Sunders wasn't online.
The only truth-finder wizards he knew were Greya, Sumesh, and Iron Granny.
Greya was not fully recovered yet. She might not even be able to defeat Angor. Sumesh was injured badly and had yet to fully recover.
Iron Granny, on the other hand, became the main force guarding the Astral Pond Ruins after Rein left. She couldn't leave at all.
Thus, in the end, Ness didn't find any of the reinforcements he wanted.
Ness had no choice but to seek help from Tree Spirit. Of course, he wasn't asking Tree Spirit for help. Instead, he wanted to know more about the truth-finder wizards in Brute Cavern.
"According to Mister Tree Spirit, there are still three truth-finder wizards in Brute Cavern. But they're all in seclusion training. Some of them have been training for years. I can't disturb them. "Ness shook his head." But even if they're not in seclusion, they're too young and weak to be of much help. They can't even defeat Elmi.
"There are only a few truth-finder wizards in Brute Cavern who can help. Apart from your professor, Horus and Ivanasha are the only ones in the southern wizarding region who can help.
"But they're not in Brute Cavern right now. I don't think they even know about the dream wasteland."
Angor met Horus before. This truth-finder wizard was known as the "Winter Regent", who was just as famous as Sunders. Since Angor became a member of the research department, Rein sent Horus to Floating Mech City in order to establish a connection between Brute Cavern and Floating Mech City as soon as possible. Horus didn't know anything about the dream wasteland.
As for Ivanasha, Angor had heard of her name before. She was called "Lingering Voice", and she was a sound wave wizard. As for other information, Angor didn't know much about her.
"Ivanasha is an experienced wizard. She's said to be of the same generation as Mister Rein. One of them is in charge of control, while the other is in charge of offense. They're called the Twin Stars back then. Ivanasha was already a truth-finder wizard when I came to Brute Cavern. However, she rarely stays in Brute Cavern. She's always stationed in the City of Truth as a representative. I think the last time she came here was about twenty or thirty years ago. "
"Then who's the last person you asked for help?" Angor was curious. Since Ness said that he "lost big" this time, it meant that he managed to get help from someone else. Apart from the list of known truth-finders, who else could it be?
Ness sighed. "Mister Tree Spirit recommended him. That guy … Well, he's here now. You'll find out soon enough. And I'm sure you're familiar with him."
As soon as he finished, they heard a tearing noise coming from above them.
Following the noise, the mist around them began to churn wildly. At the same time, the mist began to disperse at a speed visible to the naked eye.
More mist was coming in to fill the gap, but it was disappearing faster than it was being replenished. Because of this, the sky above them suddenly became clear again.
They could even see the dark clouds in the sky.
This was a rare sight in the mist zone.
Thanks to the disappearance of the mist, they were able to see clearly what was going on above them.
They saw a space fissure about a hundred meters above them. It was pitch-black inside the fissure, and a large amount of mist was rushing inside due to the sudden appearance of the fissure. This was why the mist above them was disappearing.
When they saw the fissure, they immediately realized that it was a plane passageway.
Angor and Filo looked at Ness and wondered if the plane passageway was someone Ness asked for.
Ness nodded. "I gave him the coordinates of this place, and Sir Tree Spirit gave him my blood, so I've become a beacon for him to track down. If he wants to find me, the plane passageway should be near me. "
And that was indeed the case. The dimensional rift formed by the planar passageway was right above Ness. Without a doubt, someone must be using Ness as a target.
So this person must be the "outside help" Ness mentioned.
But who could it be? While trying to figure out the identity of the intruder, Angor also observed the space fissure above them.
The fissure looked like a pitch-black hole in a steel wall. It wasn't big, and it looked a little mottled. It didn't seem to have a fixed "shape".
For those who didn't know, they might think that this crooked space crack was very unstable. However, those present were not ignorant people. The shape of this space crack was indeed not very beautiful, but it did not affect the stability of the surrounding space at all. The spatial energy leaking out from the fissure was pitifully thin. Without careful observation, they couldn't even tell whether the space around them was broken or not.
This meant that if one didn't observe with the naked eye, it would be very difficult to detect that someone was about to arrive.
At least, No.03, who was in the fire zone, didn't know that someone was coming.
Angor didn't know how to create a plane passageway that was so well-hidden that it didn't affect the stability of the space around it. It also meant that the intruder must have a lot of experience in space manipulation.
This also meant that the intruder wasn't weak.
"Is it a truth-finder wizard I know?" Angor muttered in his mind as he quickly searched for possible reinforcements.
As he pondered, a human silhouette appeared behind the space fissure.
It looked like he was going to come out at any time.
However, before he could step out of the fissure, he heard a familiar rumbling sound coming from afar.
This time, he heard a beast's whine clearly. He wasn't hallucinating. But the whine was not important right now. What mattered was —
"Shit! The shockwave is coming! Don't come out! Go back to the space! Go back! "Ness yelled at the fissure in the sky with a terrified look.
However, Ness's roar did not reach the other party's ears. Instead, a blue-patterned spellcaster boot with an upturned tip that resembled a clown's boot stepped out of the Void before Ness did.
Next, an old man wearing a robe embroidered with flowers and stars and moons stuck half of his body out of the fissure.
However, as soon as half of his body came out of the fissure, the rumbling sound from the nest was accompanied by a visible shockwave that swept toward them.
Angor and the others didn't dare to move. They could only watch as the shockwave swept across the fissure.
They could only pray that the shockwave wouldn't affect the plane passageway.
However, praying didn't work.
The plane passageway shrank and changed shape rapidly under the shockwave. The perfect control of space began to crumble under the unreasonable pressure of the shockwave.
Currently, the only thing that could withstand the shockwaves was the power of the Law of Fire Dharma Grounds.
None of the other abilities were affected, including the plane passageway.
The "outsider" just happened to stick half of his body out of the fissure. Not only was he unable to move, but his plane passageway was also about to break.
Under such circumstances, the destructive force of the fissure was enough to tear the "outsider" in half.
No one wanted to see that happen.
Reynolds even closed his eyes.
At this moment, the "foreign aid" in the air seemed to have realized that something was wrong. His face suddenly turned pale.
"Damn you, Ness! You tricked me!" The "outsider" had no choice but to face the danger.
Time waits for no man. The fissure was about to break. The "outsider" gritted his teeth and made a decision.
He gritted his teeth, and a strange shadow floated out of his body. This figure just stood outside the crack in the sky.
Then, the shadow's body became solid, while the "outsider" inside the fissure became thin and shriveled as if water had been sucked out of it.
In the end, the shadow formed a real body, while the "outsider" turned into a thin piece of paper.
As the fissure broke, the paper that crossed between the void and the real world was also torn into pieces of paper. They were blown all over the sky by the shockwave.
The "outsider" in the sky had a new body. He had successfully escaped the fate of the fissure. He let out a long sigh of relief.
However, he forgot that he was still in the middle of the fissure.
He had no support in the sky, and he couldn't use any other energy. He screamed and fell, creating a huge crater on the ground.
As the dust settled, the fissure started to dissipate.
When the dust settled, a voice rang out, "Eh, falling from a height of 100 meters without any protection. I reckon that with my bloodline that doesn't focus on defense, I'll at least suffer some superficial injuries. I didn't expect that I would be fine … But my back is a little sore. "
"You, you … Of course, you're not hurt." A muffled sound came from the bottom of the crater. There was also an angry roar. "Because I'm the one who fell for you! I'm the one who got hurt! "
The angry roar came from Nessie. Since he was the guide, he happened to be right below the "outsider". When the outsider fell, he happened to hit him.
Nessie didn't mind being hit by the "outsider". He didn't even mind that the "outsider" who hit him was a stinky old man. Why did the outsider complain that he was a "meat cushion"?!
The "outsider" who was sitting on the "meat cushion" finally noticed that there was another person at the bottom of the crater.
"Oh, hahaha. I'm sorry. I didn't notice that I hit you." An apologetic voice came from the "outsider". However, when he realized that the person he hit was Nessie, he suddenly changed his tone. "It's you. Well done then. You're lucky that I didn't hit you to death! "
"When did I do that?!" Nessie complained.
"You didn't tell me that there would be such a fissure when you asked me to come here. If I knew, I wouldn't have agreed to come here so easily! "
"Besides, I used you as my guide. I came out of the plane passageway to where you were, and the fissure brought me here. You must be the one behind this!"
"I used up my paper figurine. It's one of the most precious treasures of Lilith's Clan. We don't have many left, and I was planning to save one for Keely. You have to pay for my loss! "
"It's not my fault —" Nessie tried to explain, but the "outsider" wouldn't listen.
When Angor spoke up, they stopped arguing for a moment.
"Mister Kanter, if you have anything to say, we can talk about it later." Angor's voice reached the crater below.
The sight of two old men sitting on each other's shoulders was too beautiful, so Angor decided to remind them about it.
Kanter finally realized that their current posture was a bit unsightly. He considered for a moment and stomped on Nessie's body. Kanter was sent flying out of the crater while Nessie screamed in pain.
With Kanter's strength, there were many ways for him to escape, but he had chosen this method. Clearly, he was expressing his dissatisfaction with Ness.
After Kanter came out, he tidied up his clothes, especially his crooked wizard hat.
After straightening his hat, Kanter looked at Angor and said, "You're Angor? Tsk tsk, I wouldn't have recognized you if I didn't hear your voice. Nice shapeshifting spell. "
Angor didn't think he could fool Kanter anyway, so he accepted the compliment with a smile.
"I was wondering who Wizard Nessie asked for help. I didn't expect it to be you, mister Kanter. "Angor now understood why Nessie said he knew the visitor.
Evernight Kanter, the current leader of Lilith's Clan and an ally of Phantom Island. Of course, Angor knew who Kanter was.
But how did Nessie manage to invite Kanter here?
