Adanis also noticed Angor's fearlessness. However, she didn't think it was her bad attitude that caused Angor's reaction. Instead, she was certain that there was something fishy about Angor, and it might be the reason for Olao's strange attitude.
She had to find out the reason, or she had to eliminate Angor at the very least.
She didn't want to see any uncertainties in Angor's life. Not to mention that Olao would be affected as well.
"You're acting so presumptuously because he told you that I can't do anything here, right?"
The 'him' that Adanis was referring to was the Wise Sovereign.
Indeed, Adanis couldn't descend at a time like this, because the Sovereign of the Wise had absolute control over his own palace. However, the Sovereign of the Wise and Adanis weren't completely of one mind. If she came here in her true form, the Wise Lord might not kill her, but he might take away some of her authority. For example, the magic array authority she worked so hard to obtain.
She didn't want to see that happen.
Therefore, she wouldn't do anything to Angor right now. However —
"Even if you have his protection, it's only temporary. If you insist on going forward, you'll face eternal nightmares."
"I'm good at dealing with nightmares." Angor glanced at the Wise Overseer who was watching the show from the side.
Adanis ignored Angor's joke and stared at him with a grim expression. "So you're not going to leave. Very well."
"One last question. What's your relationship with Lady Mirror?"
Angor raised an eyebrow. "What? You know Lady Mirror too? She's a good friend of mine. "
"Since you're so close to Lady Mirror, I'll see if she'll show up if I banish you to the Mirror Domain." Angor frowned. "Well, I'll see if she'll show up if I banish you there."
With that, Adanis didn't say anything else and disappeared from the bronze mirror.
…
Inside the tunnel filled with a mysterious light, Adanis's figure kept flickering. Every time she moved, she would pass through countless mirrors.
Soon, Adanis arrived at a space dominated by the reflection of the mountains and seas. In this mirror space, other than the illusory reflections of the mountains and seas, there were spider web-like cracks all over the sky.
These cracks meant that this was a space that was about to shatter.
Life and death were all too common in the Mirror Realm. Adanis did not care about it at all. All her attention was on the dark abyss in the reflection of the mountains and seas.
Adanis landed lightly on the edge of the abyss.
The moment it landed, a black fog rolled in the Dark Abyss. A few seconds later, a figure surrounded by black fog slowly rose from the center of the Dark Abyss.
After the figure left the Dark Abyss, the black fog faded a little, but it was still difficult to see the true appearance of the figure inside. He could only vaguely see that the figure inside should be a woman. Her entire body was faintly glowing like crystal.
"Netherworld Slave, are you injured? What happened? " Adanis's tone was much gentler when talking to Hidden Slave. She wondered why Hidden Slave didn't ask them to stay, but she still paid attention to Hidden Slave's condition first.
The figure in the black fog was Slave You from the mirror realm. "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'm not hurt … It's just that I don't know what happened."
"You don't know what happened? Tell me the details, "Adanis asked.
You Nu thought for a moment, then told him what had happened in detail.
Just as Angor and the others thought, Hidden Slave already noticed them. However, Hidden Slave did not chase after them. Instead, he waited patiently at the fork in the road. They would come sooner or later anyway.
However, when Angor and the others reached the fork and Hidden Slave was about to open the abyss, Hidden Slave suddenly realized that he could not move.
His main body inside the mirror realm was not affected, but he could not open the abyss outside the realm as if something was holding him back.
Hidden Slave thought about using his main body to fight, but it seemed that the enemy was prepared. After confirming that Hidden Slave could not open the abyss, the enemy used all of his speed buffs. Even if Hidden Slave's main body came, he would not be able to catch up.
In the end, Hidden Slave could only watch as Angor and the others easily crossed the fork and ran toward the Sage Hall.
When Hidden Slave finished telling the story, Adanis still could not figure out what the problem was until Hidden Slave mentioned a small detail.
"The red-haired wizard threw a lot of plates on the ground. I don't know what they are, but I tried my best to open up the abyss and brought one of them in from the material world." Hidden Slave began to move the abyss, and various objects slowly rose from the abyss.
"This space is going to shatter soon. If you bring in more objects from the material world, it will shatter even faster." Adanis frowned.
"It's fine. It's going to break sooner or later anyway. Besides, Er Bao already found a new space. It's just born, and it's very stable. There won't be any problems. "
Hidden Slave did not try to hide his motherly love when talking about Er Bao. From his tone, it was easy to tell that Hidden Slave was a kind and caring Slave.
Adanis was going to ask if Big Bao and Er Bao helped Angor, but when she saw how proud Hidden Slave was of his children, she swallowed her words.
"This is it. The red-haired wizard threw it. There are many forks." Hidden Slave showed the plate to Adanis.
Adanis asked, "Red-haired wizard. There are two red-haired wizards. Which one are you talking about?"
"This one," Hidden Slave said.
A mirror slowly rose from the abyss, revealing a red-haired, golden-eyed human.
Adanis frowned. "Why is it him again?"
It was Angor, without a doubt. Adanis did not think that the plates could stop Hidden Slave. However, when she saw Angor, she was alarmed. She took the plate from Hidden Slave and inspected it carefully.
"An external array plate?" As an expert in magic arrays, Adanis only needed to see a few scratches on the plate to figure out what was going on.
Adanis pondered for a moment and looked at Hidden Slave. "Show the current situation of the fork to the mirror."
Without hesitation, Hidden Slave quickly connected to the underground tunnel and projected what was happening outside.
Angor's image slowly disappeared from the mirror, and the images of the forks gradually appeared.
Hidden Slave carefully recorded the positions of all the array plates in the forks. It seemed that Hidden Slave had already guessed that these array plates were the reason for its failure.
Adanis carefully looked at the images on the mirror and compared them with the array plates in her hand. She finally understood Angor's plan.
"He used an external array plate to change the flow of energy, then diverted all the energy in an area to one point. That's what he did," Adanis explained in a small voice.
"Huh?" Hidden Slave did not understand.
Adanis sighed in her mind. She did not need to explain this to Dabao or Er Bao. As for Hidden Slave … he was strong and his body could gradually materialize, but his mind was still the same. Just like the other creatures in the mirror, he did not care about anything in the material world.
However, Hidden Slave was still her subordinate, so Adanis patiently explained, "You can think of it as him controlling part of the magic array. Once you showed up at the forks, the battle between you and the magic array became a battle between you and the array."
Hidden Slave did not fully understand. "If I didn't stay at the forks, would I be able to avoid the magic array?"
Adanis shook her head. "If he could find the energy flow of the magic array at the forks so quickly and throw out the array plate in less than one second to stop you from showing up, then he would have no choice but to do so. As long as you're in the underground tunnel, he can use the same method to restrict you no matter where you go. "
"I see. He can control the magic array. No wonder Dabao and Er Bao couldn't stop him." Hidden Slave nodded. "So it's normal that I lost …"
Adanis did not believe that Da Bao and Er Bao would lose to Angor. Da Bao and Er Bao did not only rely on their "Devour" ability, but also their special talents. Angor's magic array might not be able to stop them.
She did not think that they were serious at all. Maybe they did not even see Angor's group at all. After all, the children of the One-Eye Clan were all brainwashed by the Wise Lord.
Adanis did not want to point it out. Hidden Slave trusted her children very much because of her love for them. If he pointed it out and an accident happened, with Hidden Slave's inherent talent of splitting his body, his mother's heart would split again, creating a body like Mother's Heart and Stepmother's Heart. That would be equivalent to directly deconstructing the upper limit of Hidden Slave's ability. Besides, Dabao and Er Bao would definitely hate Adanis. Therefore, the best way was to maintain the balance between them.
Adanis nodded vaguely and changed the topic. Then, he comforted Hidden Slave, telling it not to be too depressed, and signaled Hidden Slave to go back and wait for orders.
After Hidden Slave left, Adanis put on a serious look.
She looked at the array plate in her hand again. The beautiful and smooth runes gave her a sense of familiarity.
Adanis raised her hand gently, and a carving pen appeared in her hand. She found the first stroke of the magic pattern on the disk array, closed her eyes, and slowly copied it with the carving pen.
When she opened her eyes again, she looked at the array plate and saw that 70% of the runes were the same as Angor's. Even the angle of the runes remained the same.
Magic arrays usually required strict carving. However, the placement of the runes could be changed according to one's own habits.
However, both Adanis and Angor were doing the same thing as their usual method.
This was also what Adanis found incredulous when she saw it earlier.
"Is it her?" Adanis looked at the external array plate on her cane and muttered.
There was only one possibility she could think of.
Angor was related to … Margret.
On the other hand, even though Adanis had never met Margret, she had received the legacy of Margret's magic array from Olao.
Because they were of the same origin, Adanis's habit of carving was almost exactly the same as Margaret's.
And Angor could do some of Margret's habits as well.
Did this mean Angor inherited Margret's legacy? Maybe there were some differences in the legacy, so Angor's runes were at least 70% or 80% similar to Margret's.
If that was the case, Adanis began to understand why Olao acted so strangely when he saw Angor.
Margret was Augustine's partner, and Olao was created by Augustine. If Augustine was Angor's "father", then Margret was his "mother". Although this analogy wasn't quite right, there was no doubt that Olao wouldn't dare to reject Margaret's students if they came knocking on his door.
If that was the case, Adanis was a little hesitant. She was also Margret's student, and Angor might be from the same school as her.
However, this did not stop Adanis from attacking Angor.
Adanis had never met Margret before, so she didn't have a strong sense of identity as Margret's student.
Compared to Margret's "student", Adanis cared more about Olao and the normal operation of the ruins.
She would not allow a variable to come to the ruins.
Unless Margret and Augustine came in person, she would not change her mind.
Adanis regained her determination. Now that she had "figured out" why Olao valued Angor, she would be more confident when dealing with this group of people.
Angor was Margret's student at best, and he had nothing to do with Olao. Olao only "respected" Angor because of Margret's "respect".
Therefore, Adanis believed that Olao would not care too much about Angor's disappearance.
Just like how she made Noah's descendants disappear one by one in the past years.
Olao never said anything about how she dealt with Augustine's descendants, let alone Angor, who was only Margret's student.
With this in mind, Adanis no longer hesitated and disappeared from the space created by the reflection of mountains and seas.
Since Angor passed the test of Phantom Slave, he was not far from the ruins. It would not be long before Angor and the others left the hall, so she had to do something.
She could not go after Angor right now because she had to go back to the ruins to stall Olao.
However, this did not mean that Angor and the others would have a smooth journey.
Once they left the hall, they would have to face a monster from another world. And Adanis had to admit that this monster was terrifyingly strong.
Even the Underworld Slave's devouring had no effect on it.
It was almost impossible for Angor to deal with it the same way he dealt with Phantom Slave.
