A treant? Did she suddenly become stronger?
Wasn't 03 a water-type wizard? How did she become a treant all of a sudden?
Angor didn't know what happened to No.03, but something like this was definitely not normal.
"What abilities does she have after becoming a Treant? Can she fight against Mister Eventide now? "
"I don't know," Filo replied, "but I think there are some sea monsters nearby. I don't know if they're attracted by 03 or the shockwaves from the battle. I don't think she's strong enough to fight against Mister Eventide. But Mister Eventide seems to be in a strange state right now. "
Filo paused for a moment before continuing, "I think Mister Eventide's mind has been bewitched."
Angor and Ness exchanged a look and quickly asked for more details.
Filo didn't join the battle, so he didn't know what was going on. However, he did notice a fruit growing on 03's head after she turned into a treant.
It was a fruit that was glowing red.
Filo couldn't sense the aura of the fruit, but his intuition told him that it was something special.
Even when he looked at the fruit from afar, Filo couldn't help but feel attracted by it. It was as if the fruit was some kind of treasure that could make anyone fall head over heels for it.
"It's not just me. I noticed that Mister Eventide kept looking at the fruit as well. His expression became even more infatuated, as if … as if he was bewitched by the fruit. " As Filo spoke, he gulped nervously. Even though the fruit was incredibly alluring, Filo was far away from it, so he wasn't affected by it at all. He felt more fear than desire.
As they spoke, another wave of law energy came.
This time, the power of the law air wave was much greater than before. This was because the source of the energy wave was coming from the laboratory.
This also proved that No.01 was the one who created the energy wave. No.01 tried to use the energy wave to weaken Shiz's larva, but it didn't seem to work.
Because of the energy wave, the Spirit Bond went silent for a moment.
"So, what do you think?" Ness asked Angor in a straightforward manner.
"What Filo said is only his personal opinion. I don't think Mister Kanter's mind has been deceived."
No matter what, Kanter was still a truth-finder wizard, and his power level was a whole level higher than 03's. Even if Number 03 did something to temporarily boost his strength, it was still difficult for him to trick Kanter.
Kanter might be as strong as Sunders, but he was much older than Sunders combined. Angor did not believe that Kanter would lose so easily when facing a powerful, experienced, and battle-hardened man.
"Lord Kanter, no matter what the situation is, it is not a good choice to be in a stalemate with 03. I suggest that we go over and take a look at the situation first. At least, we have to tell Lord Kanter about the impending arrival of the Phantom City's hunting team. "
Ness considered and agreed. "Let's go then."
Just as they were about to reach Filo's location, a bloodcurdling scream suddenly rang out from the direction of the laboratory.
Both of them paused for a second and kept flying forward.
"That's Schiz," said Ness.
Angor nodded. Schiz's cries were always accompanied by Angor's. But this time, Schiz's cries were even more miserable than before. Even from dozens of miles away, Angor could still sense the despair in the creature's voice.
If Angor was not mistaken, Schiz was about to die.
"Once Schiz dies, Number 01 will never be able to turn back."
Angor remained silent for a moment. "He's already on his way. He was already on his way when he decided to devour the third-class citizens of Phantom City."
Ness asked, "You think he made the wrong choice?"
Angor shook his head. "He made the right choice. If I were in his shoes, I would have done the same thing. But choices are something you encounter every day in life. It's too easy to be careless. No one knows which choice you encounter in life will be an ambush set by fate, forcing you to a dead end. "
Ness nodded. "Just like this time. If I didn't come here, my fate would have taken another turn."
"Speaking of choices, I remember you ran into the Time Thief once. Did you run into another one after that?"
Angor shook his head.
"I don't think you're doomed yet. He's still watching you. The Time Thief loves to steal the choices of fate. You should be careful when making a choice … no matter what it is. "
Angor nodded, and Ness didn't say anything else. They didn't need to worry about such things, and he believed Angor knew what to do.
They flew for another two minutes. Schiz's cries never stopped, but they were getting more and more desperate.
When Schiz's cries were reduced to nothing, Angor said, "We need to get out of here as fast as we can."
Ness nodded solemnly without saying anything.
They were now only ten miles away from Wizard Filo's location. They could already sense the restlessness of the energy in the sea.
Under the water, a large number of dark shadows were gathering toward them.
"Those are the sea monsters hiding in the fog zone. Even if they don't know how to avoid danger, they should know better than to spy on the restless energy, "Ness said in a serious tone. For once, Ness spoke with a serious expression. "These sea beasts are all converging toward Adept Filo. Something is clearly wrong. Maybe Wizard Filo was right. That's 03's ability after turning into a treant. "
Angor also noticed that the sea monsters were gathering toward Wizard Filo. Their eyes were slightly red, and they were clearly agitated.
This was definitely not normal.
"Let's go check it out."
Angor and Ness quickly accelerated and drew an arc of light in the air.
However, the arc of light was suddenly cut off.
It wasn't because they were attacked. Instead, it was because the sky suddenly darkened, and a cry of despair echoed in everyone's ears.
As soon as the cry appeared, it completely overshadowed the ripples of law. The sky darkened, and the sea remained silent. It was as if both the sky and the sea were mourning together.
Light was falling from the direction of the laboratory.
The moment the light completely fell into the sea, the silent sea instantly began to boil.
It didn't just affect the laboratory, but also the entire fog zone. Even a small part of Devil's Sea was affected.
It was as if the sea itself was sad and angry.
…
Devil's Sea, near Death Ring, Summerdew Ridge.
In a garden full of strange flowers and plants, a loli was quietly swinging on a white iron art frame. She suddenly stopped and looked at a middle-aged woman wearing a long black dress and a floral veil on her head.
"Madam Payne, something's wrong with the sea."
Madam Payne looked at the sea in the distance and didn't see anything strange. "Miss, this is normal at Devil's Sea."
"I feel that it's a little different from usual." The little loli suddenly smiled slyly. "Want to make a bet? The bet is your intestines. "
"Miss, the intestines of an oil beast aren't suitable for me. If I transplant the intestines of an oil beast into my body, I won't even need to eat or drink anything. I'll keep expelling oil. It's unsightly and embarrassing for you, Miss. "
The loli stared into Madam Payne's eyes. Madam Payne's expression remained the same. After a while, the loli gave up. "Fine. I'll lose if I get serious with you."
"Let's go back." The loli jumped down from the swing. As soon as she touched the ground, a luxurious basket caught her.
"Want to bet, Miss?"
"Not interested." The little loli waved her hand behind Madam Pei's back. She sat on the basket and flew into the depths of the forest.
…
Endless Sea, near Devil's Sea.
A giant ray leaped out of the water. A man covered in a black robe was sitting on the back of the ray.
He looked at Devil's Sea in the distance and mumbled, "It's been a long time … When was the last time? When the Chosen of Sky and Sea left. "
…
"Is it dead?" Ness asked as he sensed the sad atmosphere in the air.
Angor listened carefully. He could still hear something whimpering. But he couldn't tell if it came from Schiz or not.
"I don't know. But even if it's not dead, it's going to die soon."
"Whatever. Let's go find Mister Eventide first."
Angor nodded and looked at the direction of his lab. Then he and Ness flew toward the coordinates Filo gave them.
This time, they arrived at Filo's location without any trouble.
Before they could say anything, Angor was already attracted by the scene in the distance.
Waves hundreds of meters tall were crashing against the "stars" in the sky. The thick water vapor and the mist around them blended together and blurred their vision.
Sometimes they could see clearly, but other times they were covered up.
Angor arrived at the same time as the mist dissipated, which allowed him to see Kanter, who blended into the darkness, as well as the towering waves, and … a person standing on top of them.
She was wrapped in branches, and her skin had turned into tree bark. She even bore fruits. Still, Angor decided to call her a "person" for now. After all, she was a "person" before.
Number 03.
When Filo described Number 03 through the Spirit Bond, he mentioned that the fruit on her head was so alluring that people couldn't look away from it.
When Angor saw the fruit with his own eyes, he couldn't help but look at the red fruit. The attraction even made him forget why he came here in the first place.
It was as if he was staring at … the only light on frosted glass.
That light was everything. The surrounding scene was blurred by the frosted glass and was not worth mentioning.
Fortunately, the attraction didn't last long. When the mist covered the waves in the distance, Angor slowly regained his consciousness.
"Something's wrong with that fruit." Ness' voice came from the side. He looked at Filo. "You said you can try not to look at the fruit. Can you really do it? "
Ness' face turned pale. The attraction was too strong. If not for the mist, he wouldn't have been able to look away. This wasn't what Filo said.
Filo chuckled bitterly. "I could force myself to look away. But for some reason, as time goes by, the attraction is getting stronger. As soon as the mist dissipates, all my attention will be drawn to the fruit. "
Ness asked, "What's going on? How can the attraction get stronger? "
Filo was also confused. "I don't know."
As they spoke, the mist parted again, revealing Number 03 standing on the waves in the distance.
Ness hurriedly closed his eyes, and Filo also turned around. However, an inexplicable force of attraction caused them to lower their guard, and they turned to look at the fruit with mesmerized expressions.
At that moment, a barrier of light suddenly enveloped Ness and Filo.
That strong attractive force suddenly decreased by a lot. His intoxicated thoughts also regained his sense of self.
Ness and Filo looked back and saw Angor's right eye glowing with a faint green light. It was Angor's aura.
Ness and Filo both sighed in relief. They didn't know how Angor did it, but it was good enough that they could think normally again.
However, Angor was frowning. The light barrier he created was none other than the green runes on his right eye.
Angor knew how powerful Forcefields were. They could even resist the Light of Nightmares and the Watchers' Law of Distortion to a certain extent. However, something unexpected happened.
The Forcefield did reduce the attraction of the fruit, but it didn't completely block it.
Angor could clearly feel that he still wanted to look at the fruit even though he was surrounded by the Forcefield. He had to force himself to look away so that he could have a moment of peace. But if he lost focus for even a second, he would turn back to look at the fruit again.
This was the first time something managed to bypass the effect of Forcefields.
Forcefields could block curses and other negative effects, but they only reduced the attraction of the fruit. Did this mean … the attraction of the fruit wasn't a negative effect at all?
Ness asked, "What's the deal with the fruit that No. 03 made? If the attraction keeps increasing, who can resist it? "
Filo didn't know how to answer this question.
Angor looked into the distance. He wasn't looking at the fruit. Instead, he was looking at the giant waves.
"The color of the water over there doesn't look right," Angor suddenly spoke up.
Ness followed Angor's gaze. "Something is wrong. Why is it red?"
