"Why are you blushing? What are you thinking about?!" Unhappiness was written all over Shadow's face. "I can't move now. Hurry up and help me pull this thing out!"
When he put Shadow down on the ground, he finally noticed that the "black tail" was not what he expected. It was a monster with sharp fangs that bit Shadow's butt. It looked like a snake or a fish.
"I thought … you'd been …" "You've been …"
Angor's face turned red as he tried to hold back his laughter. The result was not what he expected, but he still found Shadow's buttocks hilarious.
Shadow did not mind at all. Instead, he proudly shared his experience. "I clamped my butt tight. They can't get in! I've injected a bloodline into my body. My body is much stronger than those small fries. If I didn't need to protect my daisy, I would've let it in already. I can break it with my muscles! "
Angor did not know why Shadow was so proud, but he did not have the courage to continue the topic. Oh, there's a picture!
"I didn't think you'd come. I thought you already received my SOS note and went to Silent Hill," Shadow said to Angor. "Thank you for coming in time. You don't know what's wrong with this blood pool. It can corrupt souls. Those chains can also seal energy. If you came any later, I'd be nothing but skin and bones now."
"Those lunatics, those who follow the old witch are all lunatics!" Shadow kept cursing as Angor helped him get rid of the chains. It was as if he had been tortured for half a year instead of half a day.
SOS note? Angor was confused. He did not receive any SOS note, but it was not the right time to talk about it.
"Did you say a wizard did it?" Angor asked.
Shadow shook his head. "She didn't. But she changed all the traps! Isabella told me the general route when she made an agreement with my professor. I followed the path and found that it was filled with traps that were almost at the level of a level-3 apprentice. And each one was harder than the last. I couldn't get through them! Later on, I was captured and sent to the blood prison. Only then did I know that it was that Lord who had instructed me to modify the mechanism in order to trap me. "
"Who is the Lord you're talking about?" He assumed that the person Shadow mentioned was the wizard who controlled the butterflies with the "Omniscient View".
Shadow put a finger on his lips. "She's in Dark Castle. You'll get noticed if you mention her name. I'll tell you when we get out."
Shadow suddenly raised an eyebrow and stared at Angor in confusion. "Wait a minute. How did you get in here? Didn't that lord notice you? "
He opened his palm and placed several nodes on it. A Ghost Butterfly was dancing on his palm.
"Are you talking about its owner?"
Shadow nodded his head in surprise. "Don't tell me you've met her head on?"
"Nope." Shadow shook his head.
Next, he briefly explained how he arrived at the blood prison. Apart from the "Angor illusion", he didn't tell anyone about the rest of the story.
The more Shadow listened, the more shocked he became. "You said you didn't face her directly, but you fought with her butterfly and even played with that Lord. You would've been dead already if she didn't use her wizard-level power. "
Shadow glanced at the unconscious Venees on the ground. "By the way, I'm curious. Where did you learn your illusions from? Why do I feel like it's so weird? I've never heard of an apprentice's illusions being able to confuse an official wizard's mind. "
"I can't tell you." Angor didn't want to talk about himself. "Tell me about yourself. What's going on?"
Shadow shrugged. "What else could it be? Let's run. Go back the same way you came. "
"What about your mission?"
"I'll see how it goes. But I have to do it no matter what. It's related to my destiny." Shadow put a hand on Angor's shoulder in a serious manner. "Thank you so much. You came to my rescue even after I sent you a message."
"I hope that you can help me get the Naga. As long as you succeed, all the grudges between us will be written off, and I will owe you a favor."
"I didn't get your message. I have something else to do in Dark Castle. I don't think I can help you."
"You didn't receive my message? Then why did you come to Dark Castle? "
Shadow glanced at the unconscious Toby. "Are you sure the Grand Priest is telling the truth?"
"I don't know if the high priest is lying or not, but I can be sure that even though Toby is unconscious, he still desires the Soul Orb."
Angor decided to tell Shadow the truth because he knew he couldn't keep it a secret anymore. Besides, he needed Shadow's advice since he knew more about Dark Castle.
Shadow considered for a moment. "I've never heard of a Soul Orb. Nor have I seen one. I don't know where it is. "
"Since you don't know where to find it, why don't you come with me to find Naga first? You said Toby really wants the orb, right? If Toby flies away midway, it means that he has found the Soul Orb. At that time, I can accompany you to find the Soul Orb first.
"How about we help each other?"
Angor pointed at Venees. "Threaten her and get the information we want from her."
Shadow waved a hand. "Don't do that. She might be watching us right now."
…
Angor and Shadow quickly left the blood prison.
In the end, Angor decided to stay with Shadow for the time being. He didn't have a specific target yet, so he decided to wait and see.
"Oh right, do you have any extra clothes? They took everything from me! "Shadow walked side by side with Angor naked.
Angor didn't say anything. He took out a set of clothes and tossed them to Shadow.
Shadow put them on and cast a Spirit Bond on himself to make it easier for them to communicate.
Soon, they arrived at the place where the black-haired woman was bathing. The woman was still bathing, and she would occasionally swim under Shadow's naked body and lick the blood dripping from it.
They moved forward in stealth mode.
"You want to learn from Queen Mary? But you can't learn anything from her." Shadow humphed from the other side of the Spirit Bond. "Why don't you think the blood of mortals is nothing compared to a pile of waste?"
"Are you sympathizing with the mortals?"
Shadow chuckled. "I'm not interested in mortals. I don't care how many of them die unless they're beautiful."
They left the pool and walked up the stairs leading to the prison.
After walking for a while, Angor suddenly stopped.
"Wait, the portal is gone." Angor remembered that the portal was here before, but now it was gone.
Shadow's expression immediately darkened. "It seems like that lord doesn't want us to leave so easily."
What should they do then? Dark Castle was full of traps, and they didn't know where the real exit was.
"Let's go back." Both Angor and Shadow had the same idea.
"Bring that woman along and let her lead the way for us." Shadow had said earlier that they shouldn't threaten him. Otherwise, it would be easy to provoke a backlash from that Lord. But now that they didn't know the way, they had no choice but to do this.
They returned to the prison without any problems.
Venees was still unconscious on the ground. Shadow walked to her and slapped her awake.
Before Venees could express her fear, Shadow grabbed her by the neck and lifted her into the air. "Listen to me, or I'll turn you into a puppet. Choose one."
While speaking, Shadow released more puppet strings from his fingers and wrapped them around Venees.
Isabella told Diablo to steal Naga from Dark Castle a long time ago, so almost everyone in Dark Castle knew about Diablo's whereabouts. Venees knew how powerful his puppet strings were, and what they could do.
Because of that, she was terrified.
"I'll do whatever you want." Venees glanced at Angor while keeping an eye on Diablo. Compared to Diablo's temper, Venees was more afraid of Angor who just stood there quietly. Angor was the one who tricked her into thinking that way.
Diablo took away Venees' shadow and put it into a small pouch. "It won't affect you for now. I'll give it back to you when I leave Dark Castle."
Venees looked at the pouch and nodded timidly. She was only a new apprentice, and there was no way she could compare with Diablo.
"Take us away from here. The portal we used to get here is closed," Angor said.
Venees frowned. "Alright, I'll take you away."
Both Angor and Shadow remained invisible while Venees walked in the open. When they passed by the black-haired girl's bathroom, Venees wanted to ask for help. But when she saw the girl's disdainful expression, she held back and led them away.
When they reached the teleportation point, Venees looked around with a grim expression.
"It's closed."
"How? I have some magic crystals if you need them, "Angor said.
Venees shook her head. "No. The main control room has shut down the teleportation mechanism. If you really want to leave, you have to take the main path."
"Then we'll take the main path. You lead the way."
Venees frowned. "I can lead the way. But let me remind you, we're at B9, and I'm not sure if we can reach the end. Because —"
"This isn't a path for humans."
