While Angor was trying to figure out what to do, Gomito was quietly backing away. It released its spirit energy to calm down the aura and dispel the anger of the body.
Yes, the anger of the body.
When the misty shadow returned to the corridor where it was so unlucky to find the bottle, it did feel a little angry. However, its rationality told it that the people in the laboratory were all on the fourth floor. If someone appeared on the first floor and took the bottle, it could very well be the doing of the human it encountered on the fifth floor. And the human was not someone it could deal with yet.
The shadow wanted to leave right away. The thing in the bottle was important, but it could still leave. It had a more important target.
But what the shadow in the fog did not expect was that the emotional fluctuations of Gomito, who had just possessed the body, were greater than it had expected.
The trace of anger that flowed out was captured by Gomito's foolish judgment. In an instant, it turned into a surging volcano.
Before he regained his senses, his anger took over his mind. He quickly followed the path and chased after Angor.
Not even the shadow could stop Gomito's mindless rage. In fact, the shadow was affected by it.
This was the weakness of its possession ability. A certain amount of time was needed to completely control the emotions of the possessed person.
By the time it regained its mind, the shadow was already in front of Angor.
When it regained control of its mind, it was only after the aura was released. As a matter of fact, Angor's aura helped the shadow to calm down Gomito's emotions.
Although the shadow in the fog had awakened and regained control of Gomito's body, it did not regain its sense of security because its current situation … was very bad.
Not only was it trapped in an illusion, but it also couldn't tell where the real body of its enemy was.
Moreover, even if he could determine the opponent's location, with the strength that he had just possessed Gomito, there was no way he could defeat an official Magus.
However, this wasn't what bothered the shadow the most. It had something else to deal with right now.
Had the misfortune brought about by the human it possessed been completely eliminated after it left? If so, why was it affected by Gomito's emotions when it should be calm?
What should it do if the bad luck was still following it like a shadow? How should it deal with the unpredictable bad luck?
Recalling the unfortunate encounter it had when it possessed Reynolds, the shadow of the mist shuddered. That kind of power that was hard to shake off and unfathomable was simply terrifying!
There was only one way it could think of right now, and that was to abandon this body!
As long as it returned to its half-transparent form, it wouldn't be affected by any bad luck.
But if it abandoned this body, it would have a hard time completing its mission.
Therefore, in a dilemma, the shadow in the fog was very conflicted and hesitant.
Since the shadow was more concerned about whether it would be affected by the bad luck, it lowered its guard against Angor.
In its mind, Angor was indeed an enemy it couldn't defeat in a short time. But no matter how strong Angor was, the most he could do was kill its body, while the shadow could escape at any time.
It didn't pay too much attention to Angor, which gave Angor a chance to approach it.
When Angor was less than five meters away, the shadow finally came back to its senses. However, the shadow didn't think too highly of Angor's presence. It only believed that Angor was still an illusion.
But when Angor approached the range of the shadow's spirit power, the shadow suddenly realized something was wrong.
This time, it wasn't an illusion. It was the real thing!
Spirit power was a form of mental power. If you understood something, you understood it. If you didn't, you didn't.
Before Angor approached, the shadow didn't know if Spirit power could tell the difference between an illusion and a real body. But when Angor entered the range of the spirit power, the shadow immediately felt enlightened.
Angor was using his real body. The shadow also sensed a terrifying power coming from Angor's body.
This kind of power made it somewhat fearful and wanted to avoid it.
More importantly, the fear didn't come from Gomito's perception. It came from the shadow's real body!
The shadow didn't believe that Angor was strong enough to affect its half-transparent form. Even truth-finder wizards couldn't hurt its real body.
Unless it was an adept who understood its habits and had taken precautions against it, there was no way they could hurt it.
But such people should only be in the origin world!
This was the first time the shadow met a wizard in the southern wizardry region. How could he do something like this?
The shadow didn't believe that Angor could hurt it, but the fear in its heart couldn't be faked.
It knew that it had to make a decision. It was impossible to defeat an official wizard with Gomito alone, and it also had to consider the problem of "misfortune". It seemed that its only choice now was to abandon this body.
After making the decision, the shadow didn't run away right away. Instead, it waved its giant hands and prepared to fight Angor to the death.
It still didn't know what kind of ability Angor had that could threaten its real body. But it was certain that Angor had the ability to do so.
If the shadow acted like it was going to run away, Angor might release a related ability right away. And if it acted like it was going to fight, Angor might not use his ultimate move right away. This gave the shadow a chance to escape. As long as it could catch Angor off guard, it would have a good chance to escape.
The Fog Shadow's plan had succeeded.
When Gomito ignited its blood, expanded its muscles, and assumed a fighting stance, Angor was half convinced.
When Gomito began to manipulate its spirit energy to create a bloodthirsty environment, the other half of the shadow was also shocked.
For a moment, Angor really thought that Gomito was going to fight him.
He knew that the shadow was a cunning creature. From the fourth level to the fifth level, he could tell that the shadow was intelligent. However, Gomito's angry roar and brainless pursuit left an impression on Angor.
Because of this, Angor's impression of Gomito's shadow was a bit off. He believed that Gomito was a hot-tempered creature, and it was normal for it to do something irrational after being provoked.
Therefore, he was prepared to fight against the shadow for a short while.
During the brief battle, Gomito fought seriously, and Angor could clearly see its furious appearance.
Everything seemed normal until Angor controlled the phantom limbs to tie Gomito up. Gomito backed away out of instinct.
This behavior was also very normal. It was a strategic evasion.
Angor thought that Gomito would charge at him like a cannonball after the dodge was over.
But unexpectedly, after Gomito jumped back to avoid the illusory limbs, he suddenly roared and set off a rain of blood. While blocking his vision, a layer of shimmering starlight quietly floated out of Gomito's ears.
It was the shadow's true form. Instead of destroying Gomito's head, it planned to sneak away.
As soon as it left Gomito's side, the shadow quickly moved behind Gomito and used Angor's blind spot as a cover to run away.
As for the illusions, they could not hide the shadow's half-transparent form.
In half a second, the shadow was already dozens of meters away.
Just when the shadow in the fog thought that it could escape, a familiar, slightly childish voice suddenly sounded, "It's running away! Over there! "
It was Dangros.
When Angor used his illusions to fight against the Firescale Familiar, Dankros helped Angor find the monster's real body. Angor even praised him for his efforts. It was precisely because of this praise and cooperation that Dankros seemed to be very keen on making his presence known.
For example, when Angor was setting up the illusions, Dangros secretly controlled the fire energy around him to see if he could help.
Dankros didn't have much battle experience, but he was very careful. Using the scattered fire energy as a medium, Dankros noticed the shadow leaving the area and notified Angor about it.
When Angor realized what was going on, he also saw the shadow running away.
Before this, Angor would have let the shadow go just like what he did on the fifth level.
But this time, the shadow displayed a miraculous ability to stimulate potential. Angor was very curious about this ability, so he would not let it go.
Angor looked around and noticed that the path the shadow used to escape was a straight one. He could not see any corners for now.
In such a place where there was no cover, Angor could release an Illusion Gate without worrying about triggering a magic array.
The Illusion Gate on the spell slot opened instantly.
When Angor reappeared, he was already in front of the shadow.
Seeing this, the misty figure stopped abruptly.
Although the expression of the shadow in the fog could not be seen, one could imagine how shocked he would be when the tables suddenly turned just when he thought he could escape with his life.
As soon as Angor appeared, the shadow's right eye began to glow with a strange green pattern.
When the green pattern appeared, the shadow's sense of danger reached its maximum. It knew that an ability that could threaten its own body had appeared!
The shadowy fog began to panic. It frantically extended the fog, and the twinkling starlight was like a galaxy hanging in the air, pouring it in one direction.
But before it could get far, a light shield emitting a dark green light appeared out of thin air, completely enveloping the fog and shadow.
It was the green pattern in his right eye, which represented "Forcefield".
Forcefield was a type of power that represented "repulsion". As long as Angor wanted to, he could make his Forcefield reject most types of energy. There was no upper limit to the amount of energy he could repel. Curses and the Light of Nightmares hidden in the room in Cuolo could all be repelled by his Forcefield.
Wizards always used their abilities in different ways. The same cantrip could be used in many ways. Mara used "Dispel Confusion" to check whether Jon was a human or not. Angor could do the same thing too.
He made some slight changes to the repelling force of the green lines in the Domain, and it became a cage that trapped the energy.
Even though the shadow was in a semi-intangible state, it was still a special type of energy. If Forcefield could affect something like the Light of Nightmares, it would not be a problem for the shadow.
When the Forcefield was activated, the long ribbon of the misty shadow that had transformed into a river of stars seemed to have lost its power and fell from the sky, forming a cloud of star sand on the ground.
"Still trying to run? You got caught!" Dankros was very excited to see the unmoving shadow in his Forcefield. He kept looking at Angor's direction while yelling.
Angor saw through Dankros' thoughts. He smiled and patted Dankros' hand. "You did a great job this time. When we get back, I'll give you a vat of quenching liquid. You can even swim in it."
Dankros chuckled. His beady eyes were already filled with longing.
Angor looked at the shadow in the Forcefield and was about to say something.
But before he could say anything, the ground suddenly trembled.
Along with the trembling of the ground, dust fell from the metal cracks on the ceiling.
"What's going on? An earthquake? "Dankros looked around in confusion.
"It's not an earthquake. There's a magic array covering the entire lab. Earthquakes won't affect the lab," Angor explained.
But if it was not an earthquake, why would the lab tremble?
Angor was sure that the magic array itself was still intact. The only possibility was that something went wrong outside the lab.
When he thought about how Kanter and Ness left in a hurry, Angor had a bad feeling about this.
He didn't have time to ask about the shadow now. He needed to maintain his Forcefield and take it away first.
Angor began to control the size of the Forcefield. He slowly shrank the Forcefield and the shadow inside it.
When the Forcefield shrank to the size of an adult's fist, Angor suddenly stopped.
Dankros looked at Angor in confusion and saw that Angor's expression was frozen. Even his relaxed body suddenly tensed up.
"What's wrong?" Dankros asked.
Angor didn't answer. Instead, he took a deep breath and slowly turned around like a robot.
As soon as he turned around, his pupils shrank.
He suddenly stopped because he felt a chill down his spine, as if someone was looking at him from behind. Moreover, at that moment, a large number of goosebumps appeared on his skin under his clothes.
His brain was electrified, his skin tightened, and his limbs became stiff.
The strange feeling forced him to slowly look back.
And then …
He saw someone.
Standing right behind him.
