The three worlds were arranged according to the Magi's preferences. Of course, the inner world was the best. But the Outer World was the most comfortable place for human beings.
The Middle World was somewhere in between.
While speaking, Shadow led Angor back to the surface through the underground path.
When they passed by the "secret chamber" in the Outer World, the three Gami brothers opened a small door and entered the Middle World.
Angor looked at the familiar door and asked, "Can we enter Midworld from this door without using the magic array?"
Shadow frowned. "It's so small. How can we get in?"
Angor looked at him like he was looking at an idiot. Shadow quickly realized what Angor was trying to say. "You mean Polymorph? I don't know if it's possible, but I think it's possible. But Polymorph isn't that easy to learn. Since the number of Metamorphosis Worms is dwindling, Polymorph is almost extinct among apprentices. "
Polymorph was a cantrip that allowed one to change one's appearance. It could be as small as a mosquito or as large as a Titan. It was one of the most difficult cantrips for apprentices.
However, this "most difficult cantrip" referred to the fact that it was difficult to learn in the traditional way. One had to learn a lot of things, such as biological structure, mimicry, mana manipulation, and dozens of other subjects. One had to master all of them in order to be qualified to learn Polymorph. Even then, one might not be able to learn it, which was why it was called the most difficult cantrip.
However, it was much easier for those who chose to learn Polymorph. They only needed to transplant the skin of a Metamorphosis Worm to perform Polymorph. However, due to the increasing demand for Polymorph, Metamorphosis Worms were almost extinct in the last 500 years. Every time a new one was found, it would be sold at a sky-high price.
They soon arrived at the entrance of the cave.
"You want to know if the Krakoks have taken over the Middle World, right? You'll find out when you get out. "Shadow chuckled and urged Angor to leave the cave.
Angor gave Shadow a meaningful glance to make sure the man didn't trigger any backlash from the "contract", so there shouldn't be any danger outside.
Angor took the lead and climbed out of the "Corpse Cave" in Middle World.
Along the way, Angor noticed that the underground caverns in Midworld were exactly the same as the ones in the surface world. He thought he would see a forest similar to the "Forest of Resentment" when he reached the surface, but that was not the case.
He looked around and saw a "mountainous area" similar to the Byzan Mountains. However, the ground was bare brown without a single blade of grass.
At a glance, the entire undulating mountain range was devoid of life and greenery. It was completely dried up, just like a wasteland in a disaster movie.
While observing his surroundings, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart. It was as if he was being targeted by a super creature, which made him shudder.
Angor trembled and slowly looked up.
A giant eye hung high in the night sky. Its blood-red pupil kept following Angor's footsteps. Its eyes were filled with greed and bloodlust. Seeing Angor's trembling face, the eye closed again with a sneer.
As it closed its eyes, the night sky reappeared, and the moonlight was boundless.
Where were the giant eyes? The previous experience was like a dream.
But Angor knew it wasn't a dream. His legs were still trembling, and his entire body was trembling from head to toe.
When "it" closed its eyes, he collapsed on the ground and gasped for air. His back, which was covered by his clothes, was soaked in cold sweat.
This was what Shadow saw when he came out of the "Corpse Cave". He chuckled. "Hey, what did you see? Why are you so scared? Magic Giant? Sky Ghost? Or those greedy Flamingos? "
"What are these?" Angor gasped for air.
"All of them coveted the Krakoks' territory, and the Krakoks' territory. So, do you think the Krakoks can dominate Midworld? "
"I saw a giant eye with a blood-red pupil, hanging high in the sky." Thinking about the giant eye in the sky, Angor still felt cold sweat trickling down his back.
Shadow pondered for a moment and said, "No wonder you're so weak. You're so unlucky. You didn't see any low-level monsters, but you saw a creature that stands at the top of Midworld … Cirsibiles. "
"Cirsibiles?" "Does it have anything to do with Abelles?" Angor asked after a moment of consideration. "Yes.
Abelles might not be a name that many apprentices had heard of, but every apprentice should have seen the Talent Sphere that tested one's talent before. The Talent Orb's name was "Abelles' Eye".
Abelles was a giant monster from the Abyss, and the Talent Orb was made from its eye.
"I didn't expect you to have such a strong imagination. Cirsibiles and Abelles are related by blood. But Cirsibiles is much stronger than Abelles. I think it's as strong as a level-2 wizard.
"Cirsebiles is a gigantic magical creature. His true body is gigantic, and he can turn the world upside down with a single move. For the sake of the lives in the Midworld, he has been ordered by the wizards not to move, so he can only patrol the Midworld with his eyes. What you saw just now must be its eye. "
Shadow suddenly pointed to the sky. "Look, the Flamingos are coming."
Angor looked up and saw a group of fiery clouds flying toward them from the edge of the night sky. They flapped their fiery wings and circled around the sky several times before slowly disappearing into the twilight.
"These Blazing Lava Birds are all demonic birds that are half a step away from the Magus level. However, even official Magi don't dare to go against them because there are too many of them … They live in flocks and never go alone."
"They saw us? Why didn't they attack us? "Angor was curious.
"Attack us? They can't do that. " Shadow chuckled and pointed to the northwest. "That's a Magic Giant. Look closely and you'll know why."
A Magic Giant? Angor followed Shadow's finger and saw a giant over a hundred meters tall lying in the sky while looking at the ground with curious eyes.
Wait. Lying in the … sky?
Angor blinked and tried to look at the Magic Giant. It was indeed lying in the sky.
The honest-looking Magic Giant also noticed Angor's gaze. It glanced at Angor for a brief moment, but it soon lost interest and returned to staring at a certain spot.
When the Magic Giant turned around, Angor saw a thin layer of glass covering the giant's head, which allowed it to stay in the air.
"You see? That's why they can't attack us … There's a bowl-shaped dome that blocks the monsters' path. They can only peek inside from outside the dome … "
"This is the home of the Krakoks. They are the only race living under the dome!"
Shadow sighed. "The wizard from Dark Castle who protected the Krakoks must be a real big shot. He created this dome so that the Krakoks can live in peace without being disturbed by the outside world."
Shadow pointed to the place where the Magic Giant was staring at. "That's where the Krakoks live. Shall we go and take a look?"
"How do you know where the Krakoks live?" Angor remembered Shadow saying that no one ever came to the dome. How did Shadow know where the Krakoks lived?
"I didn't come here, but I used a Sky Ghost Ship to observe the situation inside the dome."
Outside the dome?
Angor stared at Shadow in disbelief. So there's more than one entrance to Midworld?
"You think there's only one entrance in Midworld? Of course not. The reason why you rarely see Extraordinaires in the Surface World is because most of them are in the Midworld. The size of Midworld is exactly the same as the surface world. Most wizard organizations in Fairytown are either in Midworld or Otherworld. Even Silent Hill is in Midworld. That's why I said you won't find Silent Hill even if you go there. "
Shadow explained while walking toward the Krakoks. "But the dome is too sturdy. No living creature can break it. In the past, I could only spy on the Krakoks from the dome like the Magic Giant, but I had no way to enter. If the three brothers didn't tell me that there was a magic array in the corpse cave, I guess I would have to wait until I became a wizard on the path of truth before I can break in. "
Angor scoffed. "You sure are confident. You make it sound like the path of truth is just a fork in the road. Let's see if you're willing to take it or not."
Shadow didn't mind Angor's mockery. "As long as I can get that thing from Dark Castle, I'll become a wizard for sure. Once I become a wizard, I'm sure I can become a truth-finder! "
Seeing Shadow's confident look, Angor decided not to taunt him further. At least someone who was confident was better than someone who was always worried about their own safety.
"Since there are so many entrances to Midworld, there must be a lot of wizard organizations in Otherworld as well. There must be a way to enter Otherworld as well. Why do you choose this place? "
Shadow chuckled. "You're right. But I'm not going to Dark Castle. I'm going to the 'real Dark Castle'.
"There are only two ways to enter the 'real Dark Castle'. The first is to teleport to the center of Dark Castle, and the second is to enter from here. There are a lot of apprentices and wizards in the center of Dark Castle, so I don't want to force my way in. There's only one way. "
