Angor tried to coax the green-feathered owl into returning to the Nightmare Realm.
He was afraid that Auri would notice and attack him if he closed the tunnel. Using everything he had, he finally lured Auri into the Nightmare Realm and told the queen to prepare an army to invade the wizarding world.
When Auri returned to the Nightmare Realm, Angor quickly closed the tunnel and pretended that he made a "mistake" and accidentally shut it down.
"Then, I saw the mist disappear. You know what happened next, professor, "Angor explained.
"Did you see anything else?" asked Sunders.
"… Yeah, there are." Angor considered for a moment. "You're right."
"Such as?"
"All the monsters seemed to know me, and they called me Shava. But I don't know who Shava is, nor do I know her. " Angor frowned when talking about Shava. "I think they mistook me for someone else. But that's not a bad thing. At least I was able to sneak into their inner circle and get the method of closing the tunnel from Auri because of Shava."
Sunders shook his head. "Wizard-level monsters mistook you for someone else? Do you think that's likely? "
"Not really. But I can't think of any other reasonable explanation. Could it be that my name is really Shava? How is that possible? " Angor knew that his guess did not make sense, but he could not think of anything else.
"Why not?" Sunders pondered for a moment and suddenly asked another question.
"Angor, do you still remember what wizards said about the Nightmare Realm?"
— Projecting reality, shining into illusions, and creating reality. Angor slowly repeated the words. When he uttered "creating reality", his face showed a terrified expression.
"You mean, there's a projection of me in the Nightmare Realm?" Angor felt his hair standing on end when he thought of this possibility.
Another "you" in this world? Not a human, but a monster?!
"It's possible. I've never seen a projection of a human before, but I think your Nightmare Form must be very powerful, which caused some strange changes," Sunders said. "But it's only a guess. If you really have a projection in the Nightmare Realm … Well, let's call it a Shadow Clone for now."
"If there really is a shadow clone, then all of its characteristics should be your characteristics as well. That's why it can hide from the wizard-level monsters. Apart from that, there's something else that's worth considering … "
"Why are those monsters so sure that you are Shava?"
Sanders' question seemed to be his explanation. Angor quickly realized that Shava wasn't in the Nightmare Realm. "You're saying that Shava isn't in the Nightmare Realm?"
Only when Shava wasn't in the Nightmare Realm would the monsters assume that Angor was Shava. If Shava was in the Nightmare Realm right now, they wouldn't simply give Angor a name like that.
"I can only say that it's possible. Perhaps there are other reasons that we don't understand. We need more clues to verify these. " The Nightmare Realm was too big and mysterious. Maybe Shava was in another corner of the realm.
"But Shava is a woman's name …" He was concerned about this. It would be strange if there was another "me" in this world, and it was a woman at that.
"Wizards rarely pay attention to a person's appearance. They don't just remember a person's appearance. Their temperament, Soul Flash, and other information … Even if the person's appearance and gender are different, as long as they fit three or more of the other factors, they can roughly determine who they are. "
"What about Lady Mirror?"
"Well, except for certain female wizards who love their looks."
"I'll record it down. It'll be a new topic in the Nightmare Realm. We'll discuss it for a long time, and you'll be an important participant in it." Next, Sanders took out a white leather scroll and dipped his quill in blood ink. Beautiful blood-red characters appeared in the center of the scroll.
"Nightmare Realm Projection Research Subject III (Biological Projection)"
Lead: Saunders Igulo
Participant: Angor Padt
Angor noticed that Sunders paused for a second. "Igulo". This was the first time Angor heard Sunders' real name.
Sunders put down the scroll and looked at Angor again. "Did you find anything else?"
Angor considered for a moment. He did have another idea. For example, why did the nightmare monsters use the names of people from Padt Manor? Maybe it was some kind of "biological projection". Angor wondered why the projection looked like an animal. But he didn't think too much about it. It was possible that the projection was a woman.
"Nope. I've told you everything else." Angor carefully searched his memory. He couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. How did he summon a Nightmare Domain? Why did the woman show up when he was thinking about creating an illusion?
Angor tried his best to find something even more special in an already special case.
Sunders frowned after listening to the story. He would study Shava later. However, according to Angor's plan, sneaking into the enemy's headquarters and getting the information out of them sounded a bit too dramatic, but there was still a chance to succeed. Besides, Sunders had been using spells to observe Angor, and Angor wasn't lying.
If Angor wasn't lying, then who should be blamed for what happened to Twilight Auction House's students?
The reason why Sunders came back was that he received an urgent message outside the mirror world.
"I called you here in a hurry because I just received a message." Sunders observed Angor's expression. "It's about Twilight Auction."
Angor frowned. "What is it? Twilight isn't talking about me behind my back, is she? She tried to kill me twice yesterday. If Miss Flora didn't show up in time, I would've been dead. "
Sunders noticed that Angor's reaction was normal. His physiological parameters didn't change much. He only looked a little angry when Twilight was mentioned.
So Angor really didn't know about it.
"Last night, the Twilight Auction House was attacked by demons. So far, no one has been able to enter the inner area. All the creatures that entered the inner area died, including the official wizards." Sunders paused. "If I'm not mistaken, it was a fox musician and a frog singer who did it. Maybe they also used a strange clown card."
"Fox and Froggy?" Angor was surprised. Another trump card?
Sunders nodded. Angor told him about the two animals last time. "Yes, that's them."
"That's impossible …" Angor mumbled. "How can they be so strong?"
"These two animals are wizard-level monsters, just like the green-feathered owl. Why do you think they can't do it?" Sunders asked with a smile.
"They're visitors from another world. Shouldn't they be weakened? How can they still kill wizards? " Next, he took out a heart-shaped teacup from his Nightmare Domain and placed it in front of Sunders. "Look, professor. They're 99% weaker now. They can't even deflect regular cantrips. If that's the case, Fox and Faelog's strength should be reduced as well. "
Sunders shook his head. "That's not how you see it. These teacups are weakened because they're not strong enough to begin with. They were the first wave to come out of the tunnel, so they're the weakest creatures in the Nightmare Realm. There might be other reasons why they can reflect attacks, but it's not because of their own strength. "
"Is that so?" Angor picked up the teacup and threw it back into the Nightmare Domain. He then canceled the illusion. "By the way, professor, what should I do with the teacup band and toy soldiers?"
"We'll talk about that later. Let's deal with this first." Sunders interrupted Angor's wandering thoughts. "A hundred years ago, I accidentally released a wizard-level monster from the Nightmare Realm. That monster was about as strong as Flora. After it came to the wizarding world … it didn't weaken at all. "
"It didn't weaken?!" Angor was shocked. "Why?"
"There are two reasons why visitors from another world don't weaken. First, the power of a monster is similar to that of a wizard. It comes from its own body, and it won't weaken due to the environment." Sunders quickly denied this possibility. "But most of the monsters in the Nightmare Realm can be found in other worlds. For example, the Glutton Flower King you encountered exists in the wizarding world. Do you think a monster like the Glutton Flower King, which relies on instinct, can train as well as wizards who travel across tens of thousands of planes?
"Second, the world's consciousness intentionally let it go. Not all visitors from another world are bad for the wizarding world. As long as they're good for the wizarding world, the world's consciousness will ignore them. For example, some otherworldly plants. "
Sunders paused. "I don't think either of the above two possibilities. So there's only one possibility left. "
"There's another one?"
"Do you think you'll be rejected by the wizarding world?" Sunders did not answer the question directly.
"Professor, you mean —"
"If they come from the wizarding world and have the origin mark of the wizarding world, the world's consciousness won't bother them," Sunders mentioned the Glutton Flower King again as an example.
"The Nether City in the Nightmare Realm is a projection from the Nether City in the wizarding world. If I'm not mistaken, the Glutton Flower King in Nether City is also a projection from the wizarding world. So, its origin is still from the wizarding world. I believe the Glutton Flower King in Nether City won't weaken even if it comes to the wizarding world. "
"So you're saying that monsters projected from other planes, such as those from Haunt World, will still be weakened by the world's consciousness due to the difference in their origin?"
"Correct." Sunders nodded.
"That fox musician and frog singer are definitely projections from the wizarding world. Their origin is in the wizarding world, so they won't be weakened." Sunders sighed. "And they didn't come from the outer regions of the Nightmare Realm. I'm afraid they're not just wizard-level monsters. They're as strong as wizards on the path of truth!"
