Several shadows were moving in front of the machine tower.
A Nightmare Demon with black flames burning around its body stomped on the ground with its four hooves. It raised its head and let out a long neigh. Strange shockwaves with black flames spread out from its hooves.
As soon as the shockwave swept past the blonde sisters, they spat out mouthfuls of blood under the burning of the black flames.
Although Bogula reacted immediately, he had just dodged the attack a minute ago with his Body of Illusion, so he could only cast defensive spells. However, in the face of this creepy Incubus, Bogula's defensive spells were like a piece of paper that could be broken with a light poke. They were completely useless against the Incubus.
Bogula's body was sent flying away by the unstoppable force of the black fire. He fell to the ground with a heavy thud.
Thud thud thud —
Sunders' black boots appeared in Bogula's sight. Bogula raised his head and saw a pair of cold eyes staring back at him.
To the onlookers, it only took a few seconds for Bogula to lose. They were both level-2 wizards, but one of them was a truth-finder wizard, while the other was only at the threshold.
Was this the difference between a truth-finder wizard and a regular wizard?
They also realized that Sunders did not use any illusions at all. It was a one-sided victory. The "Tomorrow's Truth-Finder" that everyone in the city was looking forward to couldn't even force Sunders to use illusions.
"Speak. I'll give you one last chance," Sunders spoke in a calm voice. Nobody could tell what he was thinking.
"Jajaja. I'm going to turn him into a puppet. What can you do to me?" Bogula spat out more blood. "Kill me if you dare!"
Sunders stared at Bogula for a while and slowly gathered his mana. Even if Angor was already a puppet, his soul should still be there. He only needed to kill Bogula to free his soul.
"Be careful, Sunders! Think carefully. Don't let your emotions get the better of you. "Kanter's voice broke through the barrier and reached Sunders' ears. His words were filled with urgency, and he even changed the way he addressed him from "old friend" to directly calling him by his name.
Sunders knew he shouldn't kill Bogula in the center of the city. He could already feel a terrifying weapon pointing at him. If he really killed Bogula, he would be severely punished.
He was confident that he could escape using his Nightmare Domain, but it would definitely cause a conflict between the two organizations. He couldn't represent Brute Cavern. It was not worth it to go to such lengths just for a dead apprentice.
But it didn't matter. Sunders just didn't like it.
He didn't know why he was so angry. Maybe it was because he cared too much about Angor's future? In fact, he was already connecting Angor's future with his own. When the fox player called Angor "Your Majesty", he already had a bold plan in mind. He wanted to use Angor's identity in the Nightmare Realm to further unravel the mysteries of the Nightmare Realm. Who would have thought that he would fail in the end? How could he not be angry?
"If you want to kill Bogula, why do it here? Isn't it better to kill him when he's not around? "Kanter was still trying to persuade Sunders.
He knew how powerful Floating Mech City was. As a neutral organization, it didn't mean they didn't have enough powerful fighters. Some alchemists might be weak, but they were eager to get their hands on alchemy items. There were plenty of powerful wizards around these alchemists. There were even some who were as strong as Sunders.
"Mister Phantom, why don't we sit down and talk? Isn't it better if we can resolve it? "An emotionless, mechanical voice came from behind.
Sunders didn't need to look to know who it was.
It was "Robot Emperor" Lawson, one of the two city lords of Floating Mech City. He was in charge of the front and back areas. Lawson was in charge of the front area.
"Of course. As long as he hands over my apprentice, I'll let him go." What's wrong with letting him go? "Sunders spoke in a soft voice.
Everyone, including Bogula himself, was taken aback by Sunders' words. Sunders came to Bogula and threatened him to hand over Angor. However, Bogula was an arrogant man who wouldn't listen to reason. There was no way he would talk to Sunders peacefully.
He didn't even know the relationship between Sunders and Angor.
Kanter was the same. He knew Angor was the blond boy he saw in the inner pages of Truth's Sky, but he didn't know who Sunders was.
Angor's apprentice?!
The wizards who were watching from afar began to discuss among themselves. This was the first time Sunders took the initiative to protect his apprentice. When they recalled Sunders' cold attitude when Flora was being hunted down, they all became curious about the apprentice who made Sunders break his rules.
"Bogula, Mister Phantom has already stated his conditions. What do you think?" Beast Emperor Lawson decided to be the peacemaker since he had already stepped forward.
Bogula laughed. "That little apprentice you're talking about … I already turned him into a puppet. Hahaha! You want to see? I took off his ears and replaced them with a fan from a Nongka Beast. I also peeled off his skin and covered it with Green Frog Liquid. You won't recognize it even if I show it to you! "
Given Bogula's personality, he would never back down, especially when he was on the verge of defeat. He would rather die to protect his stubbornness.
Sunders' expression darkened. His shadow suddenly glowed with a faint red light. A surge of anger rose from his heart. He raised his hand, and mana fluctuations with a strong murderous aura enveloped the surroundings.
Lawson tried to persuade Sunders, but before he could, Kanter spoke again. "Your shadow changed again, Sunders."
Sunders narrowed his eyes and quickly withdrew the red light in his shadow. However, when the red light disappeared, he heard an evil and arrogant laugh.
"You're everywhere." Sunders narrowed his eyes. He had to solve this problem as soon as possible. He planned to wait until Angor became a wizard and returned to the Nightmare Realm. But now … he had no choice but to give it a try.
Bogula saw Sunders' reaction and continued to describe how he did to Angor. "I replaced his limbs with horse hooves, removed his heart, and replaced it with a filthy ghoul core. I even destroyed his soul."
Sunders suddenly realized something and chuckled. "You're lying. You can't do it."
Angor's body might be fine, but his soul … Well, that was a different story. He believed that the Nightmare Queen must have sensed something wrong with Angor's soul.
Bogula was surprised by Sunders' confidence. He didn't know how Sunders found out. Was there something else about Angor's body?
Bogula's hesitation only confirmed Sunders' suspicion. Sunders was going to say that Bogula lied about Angor's soul. But now, he had a new idea. Maybe Angor's condition was better than what Bogula said.
Sunders set up an illusion to trap Bogula on the spot. He then looked at Lawson.
Lawson was a young man with a cold expression. He was wearing a black hooded robe with dark patterns on it. Although the robe looked ordinary, Sunders knew how terrifying Lawson's body, which was more than 80% mechanical, was.
"Take me to his residence. I want to see what my young student looks like after being turned into a puppet," Sunders said to Lawson.
Lawson glanced at Bogula who was trapped in the illusion. Bogula's illusion was very complicated, and it would be difficult for him to break through it. However, he could vaguely sense that this illusory realm only had the ability to trap people and did not have the intention of harming them.
Sunders' intention was clear. Lawson considered for a moment. "Alright."
He didn't mind losing some face as long as he could get a truce.
Just as the two of them were about to leave, an energy that was much weaker than theirs broke through the defense line.
Lawson frowned. He recognized the energy wave. It belonged to "Mad Bear" Sabot, the student of his old friend Mithra. The reason he was frowning was because he had already ordered his men not to enter this area. Why did Sabot disobey his orders?
"Mister Phantom, please stop!" Sabot rushed into the defense line and saw Bogula, who was covered in an illusion and covered in wounds.
He didn't expect things to turn out this way in such a short time.
He couldn't help but feel anxious when he thought about how he failed Mithra's mission.
"Angor is fine. Bogula didn't do anything to him." Sabot rushed to Sunders' side. "We meet again, Mister Phantom."
Sunders raised an eyebrow as he recognized Sabot. "Angor is fine?"
Sabot nodded. "Yes. Angor is safe. My professor took him to Elixir Hut and is discussing alchemy knowledge with him. He's fine. Please let Bogula go."
Sunders gave Sabot a thoughtful look. Sabot was trying his best to hide his emotions, which meant he wasn't lying.
Sunders nodded and looked at Lawson. "I don't think we need to trouble Mister Beast Emperor."
Seeing that things had taken a turn for the better, Lawson relaxed a little. "It's fine."
Next, he turned to Sabot. "Take me to Angor."
"Bogula is fine. The illusion will vanish when I see Angor." Sabot was still hesitating. "That's right."
Sabot hesitated for a moment before nodding at Lawson's signal. "Alright, please follow me, Mister Phantom."
