"If it's really at the Magus level, then don't even think about it." Angor frowned. "But I don't think your teacher will give you any hope, or even try to kill you."
There were wizards who didn't want to take in apprentices, or those who didn't. However, most adepts wouldn't intentionally harm their apprentices if they had already taken them in. After all, they didn't need to dig a hole to kill an apprentice. Of course, there were also those who liked to do such things.
Still, he believed that the wizards who enjoyed watching people struggling in the abyss every day would at least leave them a way out.
This was because it was obviously not in line with the aesthetics of a person with a wicked sense of aesthetics to make people completely despair and lose the will to live, and wait for death like a piece of rotten wood. Only by giving someone a way out, even at the cost of ten thousand deaths, could people's desire to fight.
Either way, he did not think that Shadow's teacher would give him a mission that was absolutely impossible to complete. Besides, Shadow was already a top-level apprentice, which meant he was only one step away from becoming a wizard. No matter how bad Angor's teacher was, he wouldn't give Shadow no hope. After all, if Shadow became a wizard, he would be considered a member of Angor's school. Not only would he strengthen the school's power, but he would also strengthen the school's reputation.
"I don't think my teacher would do that. But I really can't defeat Naga," Shadow said. Shadow agreed with Angor's statement. However, after two days of battling with Naga, he failed to even touch a single hair on her body, so he had to leave in disappointment.
Angor considered for a moment. "Since you managed to escape from a wizard-level enemy, I think your teacher already gave you a way out. Since the path of survival has appeared, think carefully about what benefits you can obtain from this path of survival. "
Shadow's mind began to clear up after listening to Angor's explanation. "Now that you mention it, I think I can get something out of this."
Shadow sank into his thoughts. He recalled the battles he had with Naga in the past few days.
A moment later, Shadow walked out of the door and muttered to himself, "I think I've found something. I'll go check it out."
Shadow left, and the huge bedroom returned to its empty state.
Angor fell back onto his bed. He didn't know what to do now.
Go out and face Felicia? Although he fainted that day, he didn't know what happened after that. If Felicia asked about his wound again, how should he answer her? Was he lying? How could he lie in front of an official Magus?
Leaving just like that? He was still worried about Toby.
Angor was so annoyed that he decided to just lie on his bed and let his mind go blank.
He didn't know how much time had passed when he was woken up by thunder and lightning. He got off his bed and walked to the balcony. The clear sky outside had already disappeared. Once again, it had returned to the scene of rolling thunder clouds and lightning snakes hiding their heads.
The Black Forest stretched as far as the eye could see. Apart from the occasional undead floating in the air and glaring at Dark Castle with venomous eyes, there was nothing else.
He suddenly remembered something when he saw the undead creatures jumping around like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
A bright light flashed in his palm, and a silver revolver appeared in his hand.
Ever since he had refined this gun, he had yet to test its effects. According to the woman who looked like Isabelle, the gun had some Mystery properties. Angor planned to use this chance to find out what those properties were.
He didn't want to disturb the others, so he jumped down from the balcony and headed out of Dark Castle.
Of course, his departure was noticed by the others. Felicia looked up and glanced at Angor's direction without saying anything. She then lowered her head and continued making drinks.
Angor left Dark Castle and followed the winding path down the mountain.
He was holding a silver revolver enchanted with Prelude to Elimination, which he named "Prelude to Rebirth". Prome named it "Rebirth", but Angor felt that it suited the weapon's nature, so he decided to use it. However, he added "Prelude" at the end of the name just to make it look different.
Since he was in a hurry, Angor didn't pay much attention to the exterior of Prelude to Rebirth. However, Angor used the runes of the magic array directly on the gun's surface. The beautiful runes from the handle to the butt made the gun look even more exquisite.
From time to time, Angor could hear weeping noises coming from the Dark Forest. However, Angor didn't want to risk entering the forest. The terrain was too complicated, and he didn't know if there were any traps waiting for him.
His destination was the graveyard.
There were many undead creatures in the graveyard, and Prelude to Rebirth was an AoE spell. It was the safest choice.
Angor activated Infinite Reticence and walked to one side of the graveyard. He saw four undead creatures crawling on top of a gallows, crying and covering their faces.
Angor lifted the gun and aimed at the gallows.
Angor knew that these undead creatures must have gone through a terrible life. But since they were already corrupted, it was better for them to die.
Pulling the trigger, magic power was conducted, and the magic array surged.
Next, a soundless rhythm was released from the gun and spread out in the shape of a fan. The gallows where Angor was standing was completely covered by the rhythm.
"Prelude to Elimination" was a low-pitched sound that would cause the already chaotic energy inside the undead creatures to lose balance and destroy them. Therefore, the rhythm that was almost visible to the naked eye was actually the low-pitched sound.
Angor assumed that it was a kind of infrasound attack.
When the voice passed through the undead, they did not react, but because of the sudden breeze, their sobbing paused for a moment.
"It didn't work?" While Angor frowned, the undead creatures suddenly released some dark gray gas. As the gas dissipated, the undead creatures slowly crumbled into pieces.
It worked. Angor's eyes lit up. He kept moving around the graveyard. Almost all undead creatures that entered the range of the sound attack would slowly turn into dark gray gas and disappear.
According to "Prelude to Elimination", the gray gas was probably the chaotic energy inside the undead creatures. When the chaotic energy was destroyed, the undead creatures would disappear.
The result was just as Angor expected. But where was the so-called "mystical characteristic"?
Angor walked to a large pit in the graveyard. It was a mass grave filled with naked corpses of different degrees of decomposition. Aside from that, there was also an army of undead creatures.
Angor raised Prelude to Rebirth and fired a shot into the pit.
Two seconds later, the undead creatures didn't scream. Instead, a large amount of dark gray gas rose from the pit and almost blocked Angor's vision.
At the same time, Angor suddenly felt something strange. It felt like a white light spot was flowing back into the barrel of his gun.
Was it an illusion?
Angor kept clearing the undead creatures in the graveyard. At first, he didn't find anything. But when he cleared out a group of about a hundred undead creatures, he saw the white light spot flowing back into the barrel of his gun again.
Was there really a white light spot?
Angor's eyes lit up. Was this the Mystery characteristic Isabelle mentioned?
Next, Angor tried to sense it more carefully.
Soon, he noticed that every time he killed an undead creature, a white light would flow back into his gun. However, it was so small that it was almost invisible to the naked eye. Only when he killed a hundred undead creatures at once could he see the white light spot. Even so, the white light spot was still as small as a speck of dust.
In order to test the effect of the white light spot, Angor kept killing more undead creatures.
Almost all the undead creatures in the graveyard were cleared out, but the white light still didn't work. Angor considered for a moment and decided to follow the path to clear out the undead creatures on both sides of the Black Forest. But just in case, he didn't plan to enter the forest for real.
Half a day later, Angor killed nearly two thousand undead creatures. Finally, something strange happened to Prelude to Rebirth.
"Prelude to Rebirth" looked like a revolver. For a revolver, the magazine was actually the "wheel". Since Prelude to Elimination was already engraved on it, the magazine didn't have much use. However, Angor still decided to make something that looked like a wheel barrel.
His original plan was to load the magazine with bullets engraved with "Rune of Sharpness", "Rune of Armor", "Rune of Fire", "Rune of Frost", and so on. This way, the revolver could not only be used to counter undead creatures, but also to damage objects.
Angor also planned to engrave Rune of Expansion inside the magazine so that it could store more bullets. However, he never learned Rune of Expansion before, so he had to give up. In the end, he only made six magazines.
Anyway, before he made more bullets, the magazine of "Prelude to Rebirth" was just a decoration.
However, after killing two thousand undead creatures, something strange happened to the magazine.
The white dots of light gathered in the magazine, forming a shining white bullet that occupied one of the six scabbards. Angor tried to turn the revolver into the magazine where the white bullet was.
He was surprised to find that it could actually be launched?!
What was the use of the white bullet? Was this the special effect of "Prelude to Rebirth"?
Angor used his spirit feelers to sense the only white bullet in the magazine. He sensed a vague strange energy, but he couldn't tell what it was.
He had to shoot it to find out.
Angor assumed that the bullet was meant to be used on undead creatures. He looked around and tried to find an undead creature to test it on. However, he didn't see any undead creatures around him.
Angor didn't plan to go deeper into the forest. He planned to return to the main path and check out the other side of Black Forest.
When he returned to the main path, he was surprised to see an undead creature that was alone.
The undead creature wasn't crying. Instead, it was looking at the direction of Dark Castle with its back facing Angor.
Angor didn't see its face, but he could sense a strong sense of hatred from its back.
"You're the one," Angor muttered to himself.
He lifted Prelude to Rebirth and aimed at the undead creature.
