The first thing they saw when they came out of the smoke tunnel was a pile of corpses, as well as two distinct battlefields.
On the left, Speedling was working with Dorcas. A large number of monsters were sent flying by the wind. Then, a red shadow flashed by and beheaded them all.
On the right, there was only darkness. It wasn't as "lively" as the left, but the deathly stillness made it even more creepy. Even the monsters didn't dare to fly to the right, which was a sign of how creepy it was.
Judging from the current situation, the left and right battlefields seemed to be able to handle the monsters that came out of nowhere. However, no one knew how many monsters were still hiding outside. If they couldn't kill all of them in three days and nights, they couldn't afford to waste their time here.
The best solution was not to kill them all, but to quickly control the monsters and find a way to escape.
After all, they didn't come here to help the traveling merchants clear the underground maze. They were here to find their destination.
"Should I do it, or sir?" Angor looked at Count Black.
They were the only ones who could control the battlefield quickly. That was why Angor asked this question.
"My method isn't as easy as your illusions," Count Black said.
Count Black meant that Angor would do it. He just didn't mean it. Angor nodded. "Alright."
Angor spoke to Dorcas through their Spirit Bond so that he wouldn't accidentally get hit by Dorcas' sword when the illusion nodes were activated.
Next, Angor slowly walked to the right side of the battlefield.
Dark shadows quickly surrounded him.
The shadow world was filled with blood and broken limbs, but he somehow felt safe when he sensed Elmi's presence.
Angor came to Elmi's shadow world to set up an illusion.
He didn't need to go to Elmi's place because he needed Elmi's help to set up an illusion.
He planned to set up a "Light and Shadow Illusion", which was inspired by a series of classic spells called "Light and Shadow Series".
Angor's illusion nodes could act as both "light" and "shadow". Once the illusion was set up, the monsters outside would be completely trapped in the light and shadow, creating a kind of maze.
Of course, Angor didn't only want to trap the monsters. He also wanted the illusion to be mobile.
He needed Elmi's help.
He set up the illusion nodes as "light" around himself, while Elmi became "shadow". No matter where they went, they would be walking in light and shadow.
It was like a moving, invisible illusion.
Angor could also change the illusion nodes at any time. As long as he had enough mana, he could set up a fixed illusion to control the monsters.
Elmi was in charge of moving "shadow", while Angor could be used as a "light" or "light" as a cage.
This light illusion could be said to be a combination of control and survival.
Angor hadn't tried it on monsters yet, but he was confident that he could control the monsters outside. After all, they were all low-level monsters. If Angor's illusion failed, Sunders would probably burn him to ashes.
The only thing Angor was worried about was whether he could keep the "light and shadow" while moving.
That would depend on how well he and Elmi worked together.
Angor wouldn't feel embarrassed if he failed. The illusion was enough to control the monsters outside, and no one would know what he was doing.
Light and Shadow Illusion sounded like an original creation, and it was related to the "Light and Shadow Series" spells. It sounded impressive, but it wasn't. According to Sunders' standards, this illusion was only at the level of a top-level apprentice. Angor had to add nightmare energy into the illusion to not embarrass himself outside.
Therefore, the speed at which the illusion was set up was much faster than the others had imagined.
In less than a minute, Angor walked out of the shadow again, surrounded by a large number of unknown illusion nodes.
Some of the nodes went into Angor's right eye, while the others turned into a special structure that covered the entire room and extended to the corridor outside.
A moment later, the fighting noises in the room stopped.
This meant the illusion was working.
Swift returned to his position and came to Angor's side. Dorcas also sheathed his red sword and landed on the ground. He didn't look anxious at all. In fact, he looked more relaxed than before.
Angor often heard that Bloodline Wizards enjoyed fighting. Angor didn't think that was true, but he didn't change his opinion. Of course, he didn't think Dorcas was one of the Bloodline Wizards.
There was no doubt that Dorcas enjoyed fighting, and the more he fought, the fiercer he became.
If Angor didn't tell Dorcas to avoid monsters as much as possible, Dorcas would probably fight for three days and nights in this place.
When Dorcas landed on the ground, he saw a pile of monster body parts on his back, which looked quite disgusting. But Dorcas didn't mind at all. He stood in front of the "pile" and made several poses. Kael was right in front of him, and his photostone was still on.
When Dorcas returned, the shadows on the right side of the battlefield slowly faded away. But unlike Dorcas' battle, the right side of the battlefield was completely empty. All the blood and body parts on the ground were sucked into Elmi's shadow world.
The contrast between the clean and quiet environment and the bloody mess made Elmi even more mysterious. It fought in a strange way, but when it retreated, it was still terrifying.
"Demons that can be controlled are indeed terrifyingly powerful." Dorcas sighed in disappointment when he saw Elmi returning to Angor's shadow.
It was as if he only sighed once, but the thoughts in his heart were running through hundreds and thousands of times.
Dorcas witnessed Elmi's battle with his own eyes. Since the exit was on Elmi's side, Elmi's side was under more pressure than Dorcas. But Elmi wasn't afraid at all. All the monsters that entered the shadow world disappeared without a sound.
It was as if the shadow world was a bottomless abyss that could devour everything.
Dorcas had seen Shadow Wizards before. But Elmi could not only turn into shadows, he also had many tricks up his sleeves. He could summon all kinds of elements at his fingertips, as well as many other strange tricks. Dorcas had never seen such a strange, perfect, and powerful supernatural being before.
Before, Dorcas didn't know Elmi's actual strength, so he wanted to fight him. But now, he lost the desire to do so. He would rather challenge the Black Earl's nose than fight such a perfect being who had so many tricks up his sleeve and was almost immune to all physical attacks.
"Sometimes, lack of resources can also be a source of strength. Only by fighting can you get your hands on the limited resources, "Black Earl said. The Black Earl said calmly, "This is the Panic World. It is also one of the worlds that most Magi do not want to go to."
The demons and monsters in the Panic Realm were all terrifyingly strong, and each of them had plenty of battle experience. Every one of them grew up through killing. They had strange tricks up their sleeves and would fight to the death in any battle.
Plus, the Panic Realm was lacking in resources. Even though it wasn't inferior to the Wizard World in terms of rank, few wizards were willing to go there. Who would go there if they weren't mentally ill?
Wasn't the Abyss better? Wasn't the Demon God better? Many legendary wizards in the Origin World could kill a Demon God from the Abyss, but they didn't. The reason was simple — the Demon God was too good.
He looked at the complex and vast Mageweath Study, as well as a series of spells and innate abilities developed by Sorcerers. They were basically all obtained from the Demon Gods.
It was true that the Abyss was scary, but it was also full of knowledge that wizards coveted.
This was why the predecessors spent so much effort to connect the four Wizard Worlds to the Abyss. This might bring great risks, but it also gave wizards a glorious era.
Black Earl looked at Angor. "Cherish your Demon God. I can feel that you have a great connection with him. He's even stronger than your elemental partner … Well, far stronger. "
At this time, Dangros, who was about to fall asleep on Angor's shoulder, suddenly woke up. He flipped his fingers and stood up. The eye in his palm glared at Black Earl fiercely.
Dangros didn't forget how important Black Earl was, so he didn't say anything and only glared. At the same time, he thought to himself, You only have a nose and you're so arrogant. I have arms and wrists! You really don't know. When my arms are all grown out, I'll definitely fight the Noah Family. Let's see if you still dare to talk nonsense then!
"Your arms are growing out? Oh, your mature body will slowly grow out other humanoid shells? That's quite strange, "Black Earl looked at Dangros and said calmly.
Black Earl then turned to Angor. "You've met two good companions. But this elemental spirit needs more training. It dared to criticize me in front of my face, and now it wants to fight the Noah Family? What a joke. For your sake, I won't blame it this time. Next time, I'll at least break its middle finger and index finger. Let's see if it can still jump around after that. "
The Black Earl glanced coldly at Dangros before turning around and observing the surroundings.
Angor glanced at the trembling Dangros from the corner of his eyes. "Now you know how scary the wizarding world is. You can be heard even if you're talking bad about someone in your mind. So, don't cause trouble all day long. Last time, you caused a fire in Saint Sem City. If the Silver Herons didn't know who I am, you'd be dead by now. "
After the lesson, Angor did not forget to give them some candy.
After comforting Dangros and seeing that the spirit finally calmed down, Angor finally felt relieved.
Luckily, Dangros was a forgetful elf. Otherwise, Angor wouldn't be able to explain it to Magoo the Wise.
After comforting Dangros, Angor began to observe the surroundings like everyone else. At the same time, he wanted to test whether the moving light and shadow could be realized.
To avoid being discovered, Angor walked toward an area with fewer people.
It was a large room. It was about the size of the hall on the third floor of the previous building. However, it didn't look like a hall. Instead, it looked more like a laboratory. There were many old-fashioned control panels and broken pieces of equipment used for experiments.
Angor didn't pay attention to the equipment first. Instead, he looked at the monster trapped in the illusion.
Earlier, he noticed that the monster was a small creature that could glide at low altitudes. Now that he took a closer look, he realized that it was a flying squirrel.
It looked like a flying squirrel, but it was much uglier. It had no hair on its body, and its tail was not as long as a flying squirrel's. Instead, it looked more like a rat's flesh-colored worm tail.
Their faces were even more ferocious. For example, there were pig noses, hooked noses, and flowery noses. There were also fangs, lipless teeth, and protruding teeth. Needless to say, he had both cattail ears and bat ears.
Recommended. Nice. It's worth installing. You can save books and read them offline.
This kind of feeling was like the fish in the deep sea. In any case, they lived in a dark and uninhabited place and could grow freely. Even if they were ugly, they were extremely unique.
Their faces were different, but their bodies were similar. They moved in groups, so they could be categorized as monsters.
However, he had no idea what to call such a monster.
He didn't want to ask Count Black, but there were two other apprentices who didn't know much about the subject. Someone else did it without him asking.
"Sir, these monsters look strange. They look like bats and rats. I don't think I saw anything about them in the book 'Where Are Strange Monsters'. What kind of monsters are they? "
It was Wai who asked. He could have asked in his mind, but he noticed that Kael didn't seem to know about them either, so he asked through the Spirit Bond.
"Mutated scavenger squirrels." Black Earl answered with certainty. At the same time, through the Spirit Bond, everyone could feel that Black Earl was disgusted by this kind of monster.
"Is that a monster from the sewers?" "Oh, right."
Black Earl nodded. "Yes. These squirrels couldn't fly in their early years. Maybe they couldn't get enough energy in the sewers, and they couldn't compete with other creatures, so they started to mutate. Only the fittest survived. The original squirrels were eliminated, and the mutated ones with flying membranes grew stronger. They flew out of the sewers and came to the maze.
"However, the mutation is only in appearance. They live in groups, and their attacking methods are basically the same as scavenger squirrels. It's just that with the flying membrane, they have the ability to launch aerial attacks. But they're still not strong. "
Black Earl didn't use "weak" to describe them. Instead, he used "not strong" to describe them.
Don't think that both of them have the same meaning. They are both noobs, but noobs have their own advantages and disadvantages. Clearly, these mutated scavenger squirrels were the better of the rookies.
In other words, they were strong enough to be one of the weakest monsters in the maze. Also, they probably inherited the squirrels' reproductive ability. There were countless mutated squirrels outside the illusion.
Without a good method of control, even an official Magus would be forced to flee. And if they couldn't escape, they might die.
Dorcas and Elmi were killing these monsters like chopping vegetables, but they weren't as weak as they thought. It could only be said that there weren't many demons that came before, and Elmi's guarding of the door was quite stable.
"If there are mutated squirrels here, does that mean this path leads to the sewers as well?" After a moment of deep thought, Kael asked a crucial question to the Dark Earl.
