Ever since Sunders cut off the Nightmare Domain and fused it into Angor's body, Angor had been in a strange state.
Since then, he had been in a strange state.
Sunders told Angor that he would fall into all kinds of illusions, which might be the things he desired the most. Angor should not indulge in them, or he would never wake up.
However, the illusions did not appear.
He was only in a very shallow state. He could hear everything around him, but he could not wake up.
According to Sunders, Felicia went to the Brilliance Plane, and Greya might not be dead. Angor did not know how these two things were related, but it was good news for him.
He also heard Flora badmouthing him behind his back.
He also heard Sunders bidding for the eyeless man, but Lady Lotus beat him to it.
Angor heard a lot of things, but he still could not move.
Suddenly, Angor felt uncomfortable all over his body. His blood flowed faster, and his spirit power was greatly consumed.
Especially around his back, he felt like he was on fire, and sometimes he felt itchy.
Angor could not care less about what the outside world was saying. He focused all his attention on the strange reaction of his body.
Angor curled up his spirit inside his mind space. Then, he waited for an illusion to come, for him to be dragged into a real one, and for him to break out of the illusion and inherit the new Nightmare Domain.
However, when the Nightmare Domain fused with his body, the "illusion" he was waiting for did not come.
Apart from the constant itching on his back, he did not feel anything else.
"Today's auction ends here!"
When the Nightmare Domain fused with his body, Angor finally came out of his mental state. Twilight's voice reached his ears just in time.
He heard Twilight hammering down the final item. "Done?" What's the last item? " Angor asked. "Let's hope it's something that can counter undead creatures."
Angor still could not wake up. He was still in a half-conscious state.
He heard Sunders talking to Twilight, as if they were making a deal. Then, he heard a rough male voice talking to Sunders and asking him to go somewhere for a drink. After that, Angor found himself in a quiet and empty place.
He heard birds chirping and beasts roaring.
He smelled the fragrance of plants and flowers.
He felt the depths of his soul tremble.
Could it be that the long-awaited illusion was finally showing up?
Unfortunately, the illusion didn't do anything to him.
…
After an unknown amount of time, he stretched himself and sat up with a sleepy look.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he sensed something strange.
He was lying on a stone bed, surrounded by a forest filled with birds and flowers. Beside the stone bed, there was a bookshelf, a table, and a mess of items.
"Open tables and bookshelves? What's wrong with him? "Angor mumbled as he walked to the desk.
There was a stack of documents on the table, and on top of it was a letter. The envelope had been opened, and the white letter was placed to the side.
"His Excellency Meng Qi has arrived and invited Huanmo …"
There were several special runes that he couldn't decipher. They were engraved with magic power, indicating that they were some kind of secret code.
Angor reached out his spirit feelers to sense the magic lines and tried to decipher the code according to the lines.
But before he could do anything, the environment in front of him suddenly changed.
He was … hundreds of meters above the ground.
However, he didn't fall down. Instead, someone grabbed him by the back of his neck like a kitten in the mouth of a mother cat. His limbs were limp, and his eyes were blank.
The "female cat" Angor slowly turned around and saw a handsome but emotionless face. Angor smiled awkwardly.
"Um … Sir."
It was Sunders who carried him.
Sunders raised an eyebrow. "You woke up early."
He didn't ask if Angor succeeded. The strange aura on Angor's body already told him everything.
Angor looked around and then at his feet.
Time: Night.
Location: It seemed to be above Twilight Well.
Angor put on a flattering smile. "How long was I out, sir? Was I in your Sorcerer's Garden? "
Sanders hummed in agreement.
"You were out for three hours. I'm going back to Brute Cavern now. Since you're awake, you can go back by yourself."
With that, Sunders let go of Angor's neck and waved at him with a smile.
"Wait … Sir! Ah! Help! I can't fly! "
He planned to ask more questions about the auction, Greya, and the Nightmare Domain, but Sunders didn't stop him. However, Sunders didn't give him a chance to ask. He left Angor behind and left. Sunders' figure quickly melted into the dark sky and disappeared.
Angor felt like crying as he fell from hundreds of meters above the ground.
"Ugh … I just saved the world. Why are you treating me like this?" Angor mumbled to himself.
If Angor was really in danger, Sunders wouldn't mind lending a helping hand. However, when he heard Angor's mumbling, Sunders' veins bulged on his forehead. He cursed Angor and left without hesitation.
Angor broke through the troposphere and began to fall faster and faster.
He was about to hit the ground, but his expression didn't change much.
He didn't know how to fly, but he did experience falling from a great height twice. One of them was in Sunders' Acoustic Illusion. But it didn't matter. After going through those two near-death experiences, Angor already had a perfect way to save himself from falling from a great height.
When he was several meters above the ground, a tornado appeared.
Using the momentum, he easily turned around in the air and landed firmly on the ground.
Angor felt proud of himself for a moment and began to check his body. Sunders had returned his bone card. As expected, there were only three digits left on it.
There was now a Space Soft Sack in his waist pouch. Feeling it slightly, he found that all the things he had bought at the auction were stored inside.
Toby was still curled up in his chest pocket. From what he could tell, he was fine.
Angor gently stroked Toby's feathers and smiled. "Don't be so reckless next time …"
A moment later, Angor returned to Twilight Well.
The Adept's Bazaar at night was even livelier than during the day.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, Angor pulled up his collar to cover half of his face and slowly walked to Brute Cavern's outpost.
…
When he opened the door, he saw the living room was brightly lit. David and Prometheus were sitting in the living room with solemn expressions.
Angor's footsteps caught Dave's attention.
Dave turned around and saw Angor. Dave's eyes lit up. "Angor! You're fine! "
"How did you get away?"
"Angor, why did you rush out? Lady Twilight's eyes were so scary. I thought I'd never see you again. "
Dave began to nag Angor the moment he saw him. Angor didn't feel annoyed. Instead, he felt warm inside.
Dave suddenly showed a guilty look. "I'm sorry, Angor. I didn't take good care of Toby. Toby's gone. Maybe Lady Twilight took him away."
Angor was puzzled. Wasn't Toby in his pocket? Why did Twilight take him away?
Prome sighed. "Let me explain. Dave brought Toby out of the mist and asked me to treat him. I tried to stop the bleeding, but I was knocked out by a terrifying aura. When we woke up, Toby was gone. "
Prome lowered his head and apologized to Angor with a guilty look.
Angor finally remembered that after he closed the passage between the two worlds, all the apprentices in the Nightmare Domain were unconscious, including Dave and Prome. He was worried about Toby's injury, so he quickly found the boy from Dave's hands and went to ask for help.
Originally, he wanted to wake them up later, but in the end, he completely forgot about it.
Angor waved his hand awkwardly. "No need to apologize. Thank you for helping me today. By the way, Twilight didn't take Toby away. He's still sleeping in my pocket."
Angor skipped the part about the Nightmare Domain and told them what happened after they passed out.
"… I passed out too when the eyeless man was being auctioned. I didn't know what the last item was. I woke up not long ago."
"I'm glad Toby's okay." Dave sighed in relief. "Mister Sunders saved you. No wonder Lady Lotus called him Mister Sunders at the auction. He's the owner of Room 19!"
"Anyway, I'm glad you're alright." Prome didn't ask too much about the eyeless man. He only spoke softly with a hint of emotion.
Angor felt the same. He looked at Prome and said, "Master, I'll keep my promise. When I get back to Brute Cavern, I'll try to draw Prelude to Elimination. If everything goes well, I should be able to finish it."
Prome didn't really believe that Angor could draw Prelude to Elimination, but he didn't show any doubt. He nodded with a kind smile. "It's fine if you can't. I'll go to Floating Mech City to check it out. I'm sure there'll be something there. "
Enchantment of a magic array was not something a beginner alchemist could do. Angor didn't mind Prome's doubts. Everyone knew how to boast. In the end, the finished product spoke louder than words.
Angor was offering Prome benefits in exchange, so he had to make a promise.
As for Dave, Angor didn't thank him at all. He only patted the man's shoulder, but he would remember this favor in his mind.
And so, they moved on from the topic of gratitude. It was rare for them to gather together, so they decided to talk about something else under the warm fire. 8
