The first thing they saw when they came out of the smoke tunnel was a field of corpses and two battlefields.
On the left side, Dorcas and Surespirit were fighting together. A large number of monsters were tossed away by the wind, followed by a red flash that decapitated all of them.
On the right side, there was only darkness. It wasn't as "lively" as the left side, but the deathly stillness was even more terrifying. Even the demonic beasts were a bit afraid and didn't dare to fly to the right, which showed how strange the battlefield on the right was.
Judging from the current situation, the left and right sides should be able to deal with the monsters that came out of nowhere. However, no one knew how many monsters were still hiding outside. If they couldn't kill them all in three days and three nights, were they really going to waste their time here?
The best solution was not to kill all the monsters, but to control the monsters and find a way to escape.
After all, they weren't here to help the traveling merchants clear out the monsters in the underground maze. They were here to find their target.
"Should I do it, or should I, sir?" Angor looked at Black Count.
They were the only ones who could control the battlefield in such a short time. That was why Angor asked the question.
The Black Count: "My method isn't as easy as your illusion."
Black Count meant that Angor should do it, but he was being a bit tactful. Angor nodded. "Alright."
Angor spoke to Dorcas through the Spirit Bond so that he wouldn't be hit by Dorcas' sword when the illusion nodes appeared.
Next, Angor slowly walked to the right side of the battlefield.
Black shadows immediately surrounded him.
Even though the ground was covered in blood and broken limbs, Angor somehow felt relieved when he sensed the presence of Earl's Mystery.
Angor came to Earl's Mystery mainly to set up an illusion.
He didn't come to Earl's Mystery because he was worried about his safety. He just needed Earl's Mystery to help him with his illusion.
He planned to create a "Light Illusion", which was inspired by a series of classic "Light and Shadow" spells.
His illusion nodes could act as both "light" and "shadow". Once the illusion was set up, the monsters outside would be completely trapped inside the light and shadow, creating a kind of maze.
Of course, he didn't just want to trap the mist. He also wanted the "Luminous Illusion" to move.
Therefore, he needed Earl fans to cooperate with him.
He arranged the illusion nodes around himself to form "light", and Earl's Maze became "shadow", so no matter where they walked, they would be walking in the light and shadow.
It was equivalent to a moving illusion.
As long as he had enough mana, he could also create illusions of light and shadow whenever he wanted to, which would allow him to control monsters with fixed illusions whenever he wanted.
Earl's Fan was only responsible for the "shadow" when moving. Angor, on the other hand, was both a moving light source and a cage to trap his enemies.
This light and shadow 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 his illusion couldn't control them, Sunders would probably burn him to ashes.
Angor's only concern was whether he could maintain the "light and shadow" while moving.
That would depend on his cooperation with Earl's Mystery.
Angor wouldn't feel embarrassed even if he failed. The illusion was enough to control the monsters outside, and no one would know what he was doing.
Luminous Illusion sounded like an original creation, and it had something to do with the "Light and Shadow" spells. But it wasn't. According to Sunders' standards, this illusion was only at the level of a peak-level apprentice. Only by adding nightmare energy could he stay in the outside world without embarrassing himself.
This was why Angor was able to set up the illusion faster than anyone could imagine.
In less than a minute, Angor walked out of the shadow again, surrounded by illusion nodes of unknown properties.
Some of the nodes went into Angor's right eye, while the rest turned into a special structure that covered the entire room and extended to the corridor outside.
A moment later, the sounds of fighting in the room disappeared.
This meant the illusion was working.
Quick Spirit returned to its original position and returned to Angor's side. Dorcas also put away his crimson sword and landed on the ground in a leisurely manner. He didn't look worried at all. Instead, he looked more relaxed than before.
Angor often heard that Bloodline Wizards enjoyed fighting. Angor used to think that this was a bit biased, but he didn't change his opinion now. However, this biased view automatically excluded Dorcas.
There was no doubt that Dorcas enjoyed fighting, and the more he fought, the fiercer he became.
If Angor didn't tell him to stay away from monsters as much as possible, Dorcas would be more than willing to fight here for three days and three nights.
When Dorcas landed on the ground, he saw a small mountain of monster limbs piled up behind him. It looked quite disgusting. But Dorcas didn't care. He even posed in front of the "mountain" because Kale was right in front of him, and his recording stone was still on …
When Dorcas returned, the shadows on the right side of the battlefield also faded away. But unlike Dorcas' side, the right side was empty. All the limbs and bloodstains on the ground were swallowed by Earl's Mystery into the shadow world.
The stark contrast between the clean and chaotic bloody scene made Earl's Mystery even more mysterious. It fought in a low-key manner, but when it retreated, it was still terrifying.
"A demon that can be controlled … Scary strong indeed." Dorcas, who was still feeling proud of himself, sighed when he saw Earl's Mystery returning to Angor's shadow.
It seemed like he only sighed, but the thoughts in his heart were going through hundreds and thousands of twists and turns.
Dorcas witnessed the battle on Earl's Mystery's side with his own eyes. Since the exit was on Earl's Mystery's side, he felt more pressure than Dorcas. But Earl's Mystery was not afraid at all. All the monsters that entered the shadow world disappeared without a trace.
It was as if that place was an abyss, a silent abyss that could devour everything.
Dorcas had seen Shadow Wizards before, but Earl's Mystery could not only turn into shadows. He had endless tricks up his sleeves. He could summon all kinds of elements at his fingertips, as well as many other mysterious tricks. Dorcas had never seen such a strange, perfect, and powerful supernatural being before.
Before, Dorcas didn't know how strong Earl's Mystery was, so he wanted to fight him. But now, he lost the desire to do so. He would rather challenge the Black Count's nose than fight this perfect creature that had so many tricks and was almost completely immune to physical attacks.
"Sometimes, a lack of resources can also be a source of fighting power. Only by fighting can one obtain the scarce resources, "the Black Count said calmly. "This is the Terror Realm. It's also one of the worlds that most wizards don't want to go to."
The demons and demons in the Terror Realm were all terrifyingly strong, and each of them had rich combat experience. Every one of them had grown up in a world of slaughter. They had mysterious tricks and would fight with their lives on the line.
Moreover, the Terror Realm was a place where resources were scarce. Even though it was as powerful as the wizarding world, few wizards were willing to go to the Terror Realm. Who would go there looking for trouble if they weren't mentally ill?
Wasn't the Abyss nice? Wasn't the demon god nice? There were many legendary wizards in the Origin World who could kill a demon god from the Abyss, but none of them did so. The demon god was too nice.
Looking at the complicated and vast Mageweaths, as well as the spells and innate abilities that the Magi had developed, they were basically all obtained from the demonic gods.
The Abyss was a scary place, but it was also full of knowledge that wizards coveted.
This was why people spent so much effort to connect the four wizarding worlds to the Abyss. This might bring great risks, but it also ushered in a glorious era for wizards.
Black Count looked at Angor. "Take good care of your Demonkin. I can sense that you and him are connected. He's even stronger than your elemental companions … Yes, far stronger. "
Dangros, who had been sleeping on Angor's shoulder, suddenly woke up and stood up. The eye in his palm glared at the Black Count.
Dangros didn't forget how important the Black Count was, so he didn't say anything and just stared at him. He also thought to himself, How dare you act so arrogantly with just a nose? I have arms and wrists! When all my arms grow back, I'll beat up the Noah Family. Let's see if you still dare to talk nonsense then!
"Your arms grow back? Oh, when you're fully grown, you'll grow a humanoid shell? That's strange, "the Black Count looked at Dangros and spoke in a plain tone.
Then he turned to Angor again. "You've found yourself two good companions. But this Elemental Elf still needs more training. How dare you criticize me right in front of me, and now you want to beat up the Noah Family? What a joke. For your sake, I'll forgive you this time. But next time, I'll at least break its middle and index fingers. Let's see if it can still jump around. "
The Black Earl glanced coldly at Dankros, then turned his head and began to observe his surroundings.
Angor glanced at the trembling Dangros. "Now you know how scary the wizarding world is. Even if you speak ill of someone in your mind, they'll hear you. So, don't cause trouble all day long. Last time, you caused a fire in Saint Sem. If the Silver Heron Wizard Legion didn't recognize me, you would've become a pile of ashes already. "
Angor didn't forget to give Dangros candy after the carrot and stick lesson.
He comforted Dangeros for a while and saw that the creature's emotions had returned to normal.
Fortunately, Dangros was a forgetful elf. Otherwise, Angor wouldn't be able to answer to Wise Man Mago if he really got traumatized.
After comforting Dangros, Angor began to look around just like everyone else. He also wanted to see if the moving shadow could work.
To avoid the embarrassment of being discovered, he walked toward a less crowded area.
It was a spacious room, about the same size as 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 retro control tables and broken pieces of equipment that were obviously used for experiments.
Angor didn't pay attention to the equipment first, but to the monster trapped in the illusion.
He had discovered from the remains of the monster that it was a small monster that could glide at low altitudes. Now that he took a closer look, he realized that it was a flying squirrel monster.
It looked like a flying squirrel, but much uglier than a flying squirrel. Its wings had no feathers, and its tail was not as long and furry as a flying squirrel. Instead, it looked more like a flesh-colored earthworm's tail.
Their faces were even more ferocious. For example, there were pig noses, hooked noses, flower-shaped noses, and fangs. Their teeth included fangs, toothless teeth, pointed teeth, and so on. Needless to say, they had both bat ears and fan ears.
I recommend it. It's worth installing. After all, you can read books in your memory and read them offline!
It felt like a fish living in the deep sea. It lived in a dark place with no people and could grow as it pleased. It was ugly in a very unique way.
Their faces were different, but their body structure was similar. Since they moved in groups, they could be categorized as monsters.
Still, he didn't know what to call this monster.
Angor didn't want to ask Black Count, but there were two apprentices in the room who didn't know much about monsters.
"Sir, these monsters look weird. They look like bats and mice at the same time. I don't think I saw anything about them in the book 'Where to Find Strange Monsters'. What kind of monster is it? "
It was Waid who asked the question. He could have asked in his mind, but Kale didn't seem to know anything about it either, so he asked through the Spirit Bond.
"Mutated carrion squirrel," Black Count answered with certainty. The Black Count gave a firm answer. At the same time, everyone could feel the obvious disgust the Black Count had for such magical creatures through the Spirit Bond.
"A monster from the sewers?" Angor asked.
Black Count nodded. "Yes. These scavenger squirrels don't know how to fly in their early years. They probably couldn't get enough energy in the sewers, and they couldn't compete with other creatures, so they mutated. In the survival of the fittest, the original scavenger squirrels were eliminated, and the scavenger squirrels that mutated with the flying film developed instead. They flew out of the smelly ditch and entered the maze. "
"But it's only their appearance. They live in groups and attack in the same way as other scavenger squirrels. But they have the Flying Membrane, so they can attack from the air. Still, they're not strong. "
Black Count didn't use "weak" to describe them. Instead, he used "not strong" to describe them.
They were both noobs, but even noobs had their own advantages and disadvantages. Obviously, these mutated scavenger squirrels were the better ones among the noobs.
In other words, they would be able to occupy a seat even among the low-level magical beasts. Besides, they probably inherited the fecundity of scavenger squirrels, which meant there were countless mutated squirrels outside the illusion.
Without a good way to control them, even wizards would be chased away by them. And if they failed to escape, it was possible that they would die.
Hence, even though Dorcas and Earl seemed to be chopping vegetables, these magical beasts were actually not as weak as they thought. It could only be said that there were not many monsters that came before, and Earl's defense of the gate was quite stable.
"If there are mutated scavenger squirrels here, does that mean this path leads to the sewers?" After pondering for a moment, Kale asked a rather crucial question to the Black Earl.
