The violent shaking made all the Extraordinaires cast spells to stabilize their bodies.
"What's going on? Is someone attacking us? "
All the infrastructures of Barbie's Restaurant were engraved with mageweath arrays that could stabilize space. Thus, no matter what state or location the restaurant was in, including when it was flying, drifting, or moving mechanically, the people in the restaurant wouldn't feel any shaking.
However, at this moment, they felt such a violent shaking. There was only one possibility. Someone was attacking Barbie's Restaurant! The power of the attack had exceeded the maximum capacity of the magic array!
With the continuous attacks, the Mageweath Array was already on the verge of collapse. The beautiful crystal chandelier in the center of the hall swayed from side to side like a pendulum. Clatter! Clatter! Clatter! Clatter!
As the only mortal on the scene, Angor thought he would be humiliated by the violent shaking. However, when he was about to be blown away, Tom Weasel did a ballet move and jumped to his side. Angor did not know what spell Tom Weasel used, but Tom Weasel, who was about to lose his balance, felt strangely stable.
He was standing on the shaking floor, but he felt more stable than standing on the ground.
"Wizards really are the most amazing beings in this world," Angor thought to himself.
Greya suddenly rose into the air and yelled at the people outside.
"What are you doing, Sunders?!"
After this question, the shaking suddenly stopped for a moment, and a chuckle came in from outside the curtain.
"Heh. I just want to confirm something. Too bad the defense is too strong, so I have to face it head-on."
His deep voice made everyone's expression change. They did not expect it to be Sunders who attacked Barbie's Restaurant!
If it was someone else, they might have a chance. However, they would not be able to escape unscathed even if they had twice the number of people on their side.
Sabot was forced to stay at Devil's Water by Sunders. Sabot asked Jellal and the others to come because they represented the organization behind Sabot, not because they were strong enough to fight Sunders. If Sunders did not care about the reputation of the organization, they would have to run away before Sunders was completely enraged.
Sunders had been a level-2 wizard for decades, while the wizards on their side were all level-1 wizards. The difference between Level 1 and Level 2 didn't seem to be much. However, the gap between them was even greater than the gap between an acolyte and an official Magus! Besides, Sunders was one of the best level-2 wizards in the world.
However, they were confused. Wasn't Sunders always nice to Barbie's Restaurant? Why did he suddenly lose his temper? Also, he said that he wanted to confirm something. What was it? Was it because this matter was important to him? So important that he had to fight for it even if he had to turn against Greya?
Greya thought of this as well, and she thought more about it.
Every ten years or so, Sunders would come to her to synthesize a Twisting Protozoa. She did not know Sunders that well, but they did have some basic friendship. Usually, Sunders treated Barbie's Restaurant gently because she was the only one in the wizarding world who could make Twisting Protozoa. Besides, Sunders was one of the people who knew about "that great" existence.
With "him" as a deterrent, Sunders would not turn against her easily.
If Sunders still dared to do this, it must be something very important, something that would affect his future. Otherwise, someone as indifferent as Sunders would never do something like this.
"Something about his future, and he doesn't even care about Twisting Protozoa. Could it be … "Greya glanced at the young man standing beside Tom Weasel with a thoughtful expression." It's because of him? "
Angor, the lucky young man chosen by Toby.
What did he have that made Sunders so eager to "confirm" his relationship with Angor?
If it was not him, why did Sunders suddenly attack Angor when his talent was about to be tested?
Greya looked at Angor from head to toe and finally stopped at his naked back.
Greya had an idea in her mind.
She remembered Angor telling her that he entered a strange world. She did not think much of it at the time, but now that Sunders made such a big fuss about it, it seemed that there was a connection between the two.
Sunders' title was "Phantom Master". People who did not know him well might think that Sunders was an expert in illusions. However, Greya knew that Sunders was not called "Phantom" because of his mastery of illusions. The biggest reason for his fame was that he came from a strange plane called the Nightmare Realm.
The Nightmare Realm was an unstable plane. It was only recorded in Expedition into the Boundless Planes two hundred years ago. Until now, there was no stable passage connecting to the wizarding world. Currently, the only way to enter the Nightmare Realm was to open a random space hole when the plane was close to the wizarding world periodically.
So far, everyone who entered the Nightmare Realm did so by chance. So far, there were less than ten people who entered the Nightmare Realm and returned to the wizarding world in one piece. This showed how terrifying the Nightmare Realm was.
Those who successfully returned to the wizarding world all had vague comments about the Nightmare Realm. Whenever they talked about the Nightmare Realm, they would show deep fear and obvious greed. Their comments about the Nightmare Realm were unbelievably similar.
"Projecting reality, shining into illusions, and creating reality."
Greya had never been to the Nightmare Realm, but she knew that Sunders' abilities were similar to the Nightmare Realm. His comment about the Nightmare Realm reminded her of Angor's description.
It was exactly the same as Padt Manor, but there were a bunch of strange creatures living in it.
So this was the "projecting reality" of the Nightmare Realm?
With this in mind, Greya connected Sunders and Angor together again. If Angor really went to the Nightmare Realm for his talent test, then Sunders' aggressive behavior could be explained.
Greya understood the key point, but she still had to figure out how to deal with it.
On one side was the most honorable gold card holder in Barbie's Restaurant, and on the other side was the famous Phantom Master from the southern wizarding region.
"That great being" had left the southern wizarding region for hundreds of years. Relying on his name alone would eventually lead to an end.
Greya's silence made Sunders continue his rampage. The room was shaking so violently that even the candles on the chandelier were thrown out. If it were not for Tom Weasel and Greasy Bird, the fire would have spread. However, in just a few minutes, several luxurious carpets were already on fire.
In the end, Greya sighed and ordered Greasy Bird to open the barrier around the room.
She hesitated for a long time and chose Sunders in the end. Sometimes, reality forced people to yield. No matter how beautiful the future was, it was only an illusion.
The curtains in the hall were lifted. Tap tap tap —
A man in a black robe, who looked like a noble, walked in with steady steps. No one would believe that such an elegant middle-aged man was the culprit behind the storm-like attack.
Angor was also secretly observing the newcomer. Gray-green short curly hair peeked out from the edge of his black felt hat. His face was still handsome despite the traces of age. A golden monocle rested on his tall nose. His black tailcoat matched with a pair of gold-rimmed white silk gloves, and he carried a black staff.
Every movement of the newcomer was incomparably elegant. The aura he carried was like that of an aristocrat with thousands of years of history. It was distant but exquisite, making people feel that they could only admire him from afar. Even if they got a little closer, it would be a blasphemy.
Every step Sunders took tugged at everyone's heartstrings.
What did he want? What did he want? All the Extraordinaires looked at the man who had been acting calmly all this while with doubt and a hint of fear in their eyes.
Finally, Sunders stopped in front of Angor.
"Good afternoon, young man."
They looked at each other. Angor did not know what to do. Especially after the shaking, he was leaning against the table with his legs wobbly. He took off his clothes and did not put them back on. His upper body was bare. A cold wind blew in from outside the curtains, and the cold wind made him shiver.
The bare-backed young man and the noble Sunders looked at each other in such an awkward situation.
Heroline was confused. "Is Sunders here for Angor?" Why else would Sunders attack her when she was about to give Angor a test?
Heroline suddenly felt a sense of danger. It was not a life-threatening feeling. Instead, it was a sense of danger when she was about to lose something. Or rather, it was a sense of regret.
Mara, who was standing beside Angor, suddenly let go of his hand and took several steps back to get away from Angor. He did not dare to get close to Sunders. Even a peek was enough to make Mara's hair stand on end.
Seeing Sunders standing in front of Angor, Greya's eyes flashed. "He's here for him."
There was a moment of silence.
