After creating the illusion, Angor collapsed on the ground and panted heavily. His back was soaked in cold sweat.
"I didn't think it'd be so hard to create an illusion in a Nightmare Domain." He had to squeeze almost 90% of his mana pool to create a low-level mist illusion.
He lifted his sweat-soaked head and looked at Shadow in the mist. However, he saw that he was circling around in the illusory realm, using all kinds of probing methods, but still unable to break out of the illusory realm. It was difficult to create an illusion in a Nightmare Domain, but it worked well so far.
Setting up an illusion in a Nightmare Domain was one of the methods mentioned by Sunders in The Mystery of Nightmare Domain.
The Nightmare Domain was known as the home field for illusionists because all illusions created in the Nightmare Domain had one obvious characteristic: there were no illusion nodes. This meant that breaking an illusion by brute force was much more difficult than breaking it.
As for the reason, it was because the Nightmare Domain was a special illusion. There were nodes everywhere, and there were no nodes anywhere. Creating an illusion didn't require an illusion node to carry the illusion. The Nightmare Domain itself could be used as a carrier.
However, Sunders didn't recommend Angor to use this method because Angor's Nightmare Domain wasn't fully developed yet. The space inside the Nightmare Domain was quite weak. Once Angor used the Nightmare Domain as a carrier, he would destroy the Nightmare Domain as long as he could break free from it.
Nightmare Domains were extremely rare. Once broken, they were like broken mirrors. Even if they were repaired, there would still be cracks.
Therefore, Sunders didn't mind Angor using the Nightmare Domain before it was fully developed. However, Angor had no other choice. He planned to use the parasite in the Nightmare Domain to control Shadow, but he soon realized that the parasite didn't work in places where the nightmare aura was strong.
Unless he canceled the Nightmare Domain, the parasite would choose to live in a nearby human body. But if he canceled the illusion, Shadow wouldn't be alone. Who knew who the parasite would go to?
Therefore, he had no choice but to give up on the uncontrollable parasite and gamble with his illusions.
It seemed his gamble paid off. Shadow couldn't break free from the illusion.
Angor sighed in relief. While Shadow was trapped, he ordered Toby and the other monsters in the Nightmare Domain to attack Shadow. In order to consume Shadow's magic power.
This was a cyclical process. The phantom attacks interacted with the real sneak attacks, constantly wearing down Shadow's patience.
"I'm going to kill you!" An Ying shouted angrily.
In the end, he changed his words, "Don't come, I can't take it anymore! Let's talk peacefully, shall we? "" You can ask for anything. As long as I can satisfy you, I will! "
Angor did not say anything. This was a fair trade. It would be better to wait until An Ying was captured before talking about other things.
He ordered Toby to keep attacking while he entered a deep meditation state. Setting up the illusion had consumed too much Mana, so he had to replenish it as soon as possible.
Time slipped away just like that.
An hour later, he recovered most of his mana.
An Ying had also used up almost all the energy in his body in this one hour. Not only that, but his whole body was covered in wounds. He had just used Heal to stop the bleeding, but there was another wound on the other side. The floor was full of his blood. Under the condition of losing a lot of blood, he could not even maintain the appearance of a magma salamander.
He quickly regained his human form and lay on the ground, struggling for his life.
"Damn it, my luck is bad today. I actually kicked an iron plate!" Shadow cursed in his heart. He had clearly planned out everything today, relying on these puppets to enter the Inner World. Who would have thought that a variable would appear!
For now, Shadow still had one final trump card, but after using this trump card, it wouldn't be easy for him to enter the Inner World again. Besides, all his hard work over the years would go down the drain.
Shadow panted heavily, "You damned gigolo, do you really want to fight to the death?"
Now that Angor had his mana back, he regained some of his confidence. "Are you kidding me? I don't think I need to tell you who started it first. "
"I can apologize and compensate you!"
Angor sneered. "It's too late. I can take whatever I want."
"But can you take away the things in my head?" Shadow asked.
Angor did not answer. Shadow narrowed his eyes. "What do you want? My knowledge? Channeling method? Cantrips? Or information? I can give you anything as long as you let me go. "
Angor remained silent. He ordered Toby to work with the dragonflies to create more pressure on Shadow.
Shadow gritted his teeth and endured the attacks. Although the detestable bird and the strange dragonfly seemed to be tired and their attacks were not as strong as before, he would not be able to hold on after a few more attacks. His current demonic source was already empty, and he could only rely on his physical body to resist. In the end, it was not a long-term solution.
Shadow considered and decided to lay out his cards. "My professor is a guest in your organization. You know who I'm talking about, right? Are you sure you want to fight me to the death? I'll tell you one last time. If you want something, I can give it to you. Otherwise, I'd rather throw away all my years of hard work and reveal my last card. I can't even predict what will happen then! "
Shadow was ready to explain his "last card", but he was surprised to see that Angor did not care about it at all.
"Your professor is a guest in our organization? You know who I am? "
Shadow frowned. "You're not an apprentice from Silent Hill? That can't be. Silent Hill is the only wizard organization within a thousand kilometers of the surface world. "
Surface world? Silent Hill? Angor searched his memory but failed to find any of these two names.
"Are you sure you're not from Silent Hill?" Shadow asked. "You're not from Silent Hill? Are you from Dark Castle? "
Dark Castle?! Angor's eyes widened. "You mean Dark Castle under Fairy Town?"
"So you're not from Dark Castle? You're not even from Fairy World?"
"This is Fairy Tale World?" Angor asked, which meant he agreed.
"Yes. This is Fairy World. Which organization are you from? Don't tell me you're a rogue. I don't believe you. " Shadow kept trying to recall every word Angor said in his mind. Angor's attention was all focused on the location information. Based on what Angor said, Shadow had an idea. Could it be that Angor came here by accident without using a proper plane passage?
Just like Brilliance Plane, Fairy World was a subsidiary plane of the wizarding world. It was also a part of the wizarding world, regardless of the time or season. However, if one wanted to enter a subsidiary plane, they would still need to go through the planar passageway. However, the passageway of a subsidiary plane wasn't the same as the crystal walls used to cross realms. Instead, it could be a small path that would lead to a subsidiary plane. It could also be opening a door, jumping into a lake, or entering a well.
Fairy World, on the other hand, was a hole in a ten-thousand-year-old tree. Through the hole, one would arrive at Fairy World, which had seven continents and a boundless ocean.
To enter a subsidiary plane from the wizarding world, one had to pay a price. There were all kinds of strange prices. Some required one to sacrifice a supernatural creature to the subsidiary plane, some required one to plant a magical plant, and some only required one to register. The price to enter Fairy World was quite reasonable. It was only 10 magic crystals.
If someone paid the 10 crystals, they would receive a general map of Fairy World from the office of Fairy Town outside the tree hole.
So, he's actually a stowaway? Shadow wondered in his mind.
Luckily, subsidiary planes did not have to deal with stowaways. As long as one became a wizard, he or she would not need to use a plane passageway. Therefore, official Magi were considered illegal immigrants.
But this person was obviously just an apprentice. How did he enter the fairy tale world? Did a teacher open a plane passageway to guide him?
While Shadow was still wondering, Angor recalled something about Fairy World.
Fairy Tale World was dominated by Fairytale Town. However, Fairytown was only a general name. It wasn't a single wizard organization. It was a large wizard alliance that included many wizard organizations. For example, Candy House, which had more than half of the gourmet wizards in the southern wizarding region, was under Fairy Town's jurisdiction. Rainbow Forest, Tree of Paradise, Dark Castle …
Now that he knew where he was, he did not know how to leave Fairy World.
"Do you remember the Krakoks we left just now?" Shadow suddenly asked. "Do you remember those Krakoks? They have the talent to open a gate and went to Midworld. They can open the gate and come back here. "
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing. I just want to tell you that even if I don't show you my trump card, I can still send this information to you. It can also send out information about this place, even to my mentor. "
"Are you threatening me?"
"I'm just stating facts. Whatever information you want to know, I can tell you. If you want to leave Fairy World, I can take you with me or give you a map. " Shadow continued, "As I said, you've shown your strength, and I can respect you. Let's talk as equals. "
Angor looked at Shadow who was dying inside the illusion. He did not point out that Shadow did not deserve to be treated as an equal. However, judging from the confident look on Shadow's face, Angor knew that Shadow really did have something up his sleeves. Shadow was an elite apprentice trained by a big organization, so it was not impossible for him to have something up his sleeve.
"Why should I trust you?"
"I can make an oath under the witness of the will of the world." After a short pause, Shadow continued, "I can also sign a short-term contract of equality."
