Angor checked the distance of the sphere and calculated its landing point in his mind. He shook his head at Shadow when he had a general idea of what was going to happen.
"You know Fly?" Shadow asked in surprise. Fly was a level-1 cantrip, but it was very difficult to learn. It would take years or even decades to learn from scratch. Shadow did not learn to fly. After becoming an official wizard, his control over mana would reach an unimaginable level. By then, he would be able to fly in the sky with his own power, and he would not need to use any flying spells at all.
Shadow was confident that he could become a wizard, so he did not want to waste his time learning Fly. He believed Angor was the same as him, who would not waste his time learning a low-level Fly spell. But now, Angor refused his request, which was why he was so surprised.
"I don't know Fly, but I don't need to use it for such a short distance." As soon as he finished his words, he leaped into the air. The model he already created in his mind space appeared under his feet, and a tornado pushed him into the air.
Every time Angor was about to fall, another tornado would appear under his feet and lift him up again.
Three consecutive tornadoes brought Angor to the top of the ball. Finally, Angor controlled his body and landed steadily.
Shadow flew over as well. The woman's cape on his back was releasing a colorful light, which looked like a flash of light.
After Shadow landed on the ground, he couldn't wait to put away his cape. After everything was done, he asked curiously, "That wasn't a flying spell, was it? Was it an offensive spell?"
He clearly sensed that the tornado under Angor's feet was small, but it carried a strong sense of sharpness. It was definitely not a flying cantrip.
"Yeah, it was an attack cantrip. But I can also think of it as Hover, "Angor admitted. He did not deny Shadow's words.
Angor came up with this technique when he was resting in Pocratee. It was not difficult, but it required a lot of computing power and the environment. Also, he had to build the tornado model quickly. The tornado model had to be completed before the end of each parabola. This was a difficult task for ordinary apprentices, but with the help of the Axes of the Universe, Angor could barely do it.
"Three tornadoes in a row? Is that one cantrip or three?" Shadow asked curiously.
"So what if it's one or three?" Angor gave him a cold glance. "Don't ask too many questions."
Angor knew Shadow's question was not about the cantrip, but whether it was "instantaneous" or not. No wizard would answer this kind of question. It was like trying to figure out someone's strength.
Shadow smiled awkwardly and changed the topic.
Shadow pointed at the top of the ball not far away. "Let's go. The teleportation point should be there."
The surface of the sphere was not flat and smooth, and there was a slight slope. The place that Shadow was pointing at was the highest point in his line of sight.
When they reached the destination, Shadow looked at the familiar runes on the ground happily. "It's a teleportation array."
He did not know anything about magic arrays, but he had seen teleportation arrays many times.
Angor nodded. "It's a teleportation array activated by magic crystals." In the center of the Teleportation Portal, there was a space for embedding magical crystals. It required three standard magical crystals at a time.
"Shall we go in now?" Angor asked.
"Wait a moment."
Shadow remained silent for a moment and said, "Don't refuse me."
A Spirit Bridge emerged from Shadow's forehead and connected to Angor's forehead. As soon as the bridge was established, a sharp spirit power began to wander around Angor's body.
"Is this … a level-3 cantrip, Spirit Bond?"
"Yes. It's easier for us to communicate with each other when we're invisible."
Angor nodded and tried to release his spirit power outside his body. The two spirit powers were different in nature, but they were connected by the Spirit Bond.
"The nature of your mind power is not bad. It's very tough and malleable." A thought came through the Spirit Bond.
This method of communication was similar to the level-1 cantrip called "Mind Synchronization". Mind Synchronization was also a form of mental communication. However, the caster had absolute control over the situation. The spirit power would enter the mind of the receiver. If the caster had any ill intentions, the receiver would be attacked by the spirit power.
Spirit Bond, on the other hand, was different. The two parties were equal. They used an invisible bond as a medium to communicate with each other.
"I'm invisible now. Let's not waste any more time." Angor activated Infinite Reticence to its maximum effect. Not only did he become invisible, but he also weakened his presence to the minimum.
Shadow also put on his Invisibility Cloak and disappeared in a flash of light. Next, three magic crystals were placed inside the teleportation array. "Let's go!" Shadow used Voice Transmission.
A flash of light enveloped the two of them.
When the light faded away, Angor found himself in a forest filled with beautiful flowers and singing birds.
He smelled the fresh fragrance of plants and looked at the lush greenery around him. It was a stark contrast to the barren wasteland outside.
They were standing on a teleportation array, and they were surrounded by a dense forest.
The plants in the forest were about the same height as the ones in the surface world. There were also some abandoned buildings at the edge of the forest.
"The Krakoks can open the 'door' to leave, and the people from Dark Castle can directly enter the central city. Without any outsiders, the teleportation array here hasn't been used for a long time. There used to be some Krakoks guarding the area, but they all moved away as time went by, "Shadow explained to Angor through the Spirit Bond.
"So the Krakoks have been living a peaceful life. They even forgot about the threat of invaders." The Krakoks didn't learn their lesson even after going through a great war. If it weren't for Dark Castle's protection, they would have been driven to the brink of extinction.
"Peace makes people tired. Only suffering can make them grow stronger." Shadow chuckled.
"What should we do next? Where are Gami and the others?"
"They can't help us because of their clan's rules. I already told them to leave." Shadow paused. "As for our next step, let's get out of here first."
There were quite a few buildings in the forest. Angor and Shadow split up and searched around the buildings. They didn't find anything.
They followed the direction of the buildings and headed out of the forest.
The forest wasn't too big. It only took them about an hour to leave the area.
Angor was shocked by what he saw when he stepped out of the forest.
He didn't pay much attention to the sky when he was in the forest. Now, when he looked up, he could see many floating islands connected to each other by huge chains.
The interior of the sphere was actually filled with floating islands! Angor couldn't see the sky or the end of the world. Apart from the blue sky and white clouds, there were floating islands of all shapes and sizes. From afar, each island was covered in lush vegetation. No wonder people who lived here didn't want to leave.
While they were observing the islands, a clear and melodious voice suddenly resounded from afar.
"The first hero, with a sword in hand, broke into the garden of flowers. Under the longing of the red-haired princess, he plucked the first rose stained with morning dew.
"The second hero, hiding his evil aura, hid in the kingdom of serpents. Under the mask of a cunning human, he waited for the dawn of the second night amidst the flames of war.
"The third hero, spreading his wings, stepped into the dark castle. Under the gentle singing of the grand priest, he picked up his scepter and welcomed the third glorious guest.
"The fourth hero, …"
It was an aria sung by a young girl. Her voice was soft and melodious, and it reached Angor's ears.
He looked at the source of the voice and saw a young girl wearing a small green tutu skirt and a hairband that looked like a leaf. She was singing to the blue sky with her eyes closed.
"Hey, hey, hey. What's the next step? You see, the answer is right here. "
Before she could finish her sentence, a gust of wind flashed by. The girl who was practicing her voice suddenly blacked out and fainted.
Behind a big tree, the shadow revealed his true form. A small person was sleeping on his palm.
"This is the first time I saw a Krakok with fair skin. She's pretty. Too bad she doesn't have blond hair." Shadow played with Thumbelina in his hand and even tried to lift the girl's skirt. But Angor was quick enough to stop him.
"I almost saw her. Can't you help me?" As Shadow spoke, he even put on a perverted expression and sniffed his palm with all his might, as if he wanted to retain the faint fragrance of a young girl.
Angor ignored Shadow's complaints and summoned his Nightmare Domain.
A luxurious hall appeared in front of them.
Angor walked to the dining table and put the girl on it.
He considered and took out a box of cream and a small glass of milk from his bracelet. With a flash of cold energy, a milk smoothie was ready. Angor covered it with a layer of cream and placed the small glass next to the girl.
Angor sat down on the other side of the table.
Shadow was checking the Nightmare Domain out of curiosity. "You're a part-time pastry chef?" He asked when he saw Angor making milk smoothies in one go. You have cream and milk with you? Can I have one too? "
Shadow also found a seat and sat down. Angor ignored him. "It's so nice to have a space storage. You can store whatever you want."
Shadow touched the tableware on the table. The realistic touch made him even more curious about this illusion. Just as he was about to probe further, the girl lying on the table suddenly moaned and slowly opened her eyes.
