He was confident that he could deceive or deceive opponents who were weaker than him. However, he wasn't sure if he could handle a Phosphorescence Jellyfish that was almost as strong as a wizard.
Still, he didn't need to control the fish that were stronger than him. Just like the first fight he encountered after entering the purification garden.
These schools of fish were not a single piece of metal without any flaws. Sometimes, he only needed to pry open a small gap, and the water would slowly push the gap wider and wider.
What he needed to do was to open the gap.
As soon as he entered the illusion, Angor felt like he had everything under his control. With a thought, a mysterious power began to surge in the illusion and messed up the fishes' perception.
A moment later …
As Angor expected, less than one-tenth of the fishes were affected by the illusion, and most of them were weaker than him. The bigger ones wouldn't be affected.
However, Angor was surprised to see the Lord of Tentacles, the strongest creature in the group and one that he didn't think would be deceived by the illusion, showed some confusion in its eyes.
The confusion only lasted for half a second, but it was enough for the Lord of Tentacles to hit a few flying fishes with its tentacles. Among them was the Phosphorescence Jellyfish, which was almost as strong as the Lord of Tentacles.
Angor didn't think his plan would work, but it was worth a try. However, the Lord of Tentacles lost its mind due to its anger after its egg was stolen, and it ended up being controlled by the monster for half a second.
There were already a lot of fishes affected by the illusion, and the Lord of Tentacles' attack only made things worse.
The Phosphorescence Jellyfish immediately began to fight back. Every time the Phosphorescent Jellyfish attacked, a large number of fish would die. In the end, even some whales that were slightly weaker than the Phosphorescent Jellyfish started attacking the Lord of Tentacles.
Angor used Infinite Reticence to eject his soul and appeared at the edge of the mist.
He couldn't leave the mist or the confusion effect would be nullified. He had to carefully dodge the attacks while secretly expanding the mist to give himself more space.
The battle between the Phosphorescent Jellyfish and the Lord of Tentacles was getting more and more intense. The Phosphorescent Jellyfish seemed to be getting angrier and angrier. Its strength was slowly increasing, and the Phosphorescent Fire around it had melted half of the flying fishes around it.
In the end, the transparent pink jellyfish turned red because of its anger. It was almost the same color as the skin of the Lord of Tentacles.
Their strength had also been raised to the extreme! Both of them had reached the level of an adept.
The scene of the attack was even more earth-shattering. Not long after, close to 50% of the tens of thousands of flying fish had died!
He almost achieved his goal, but at the same time, he became even more terrified. If he wasn't careful, even if it was just a little bit of the chaotic energy, he would die on the spot.
In this chaotic energy, several illusion nodes were broken, and the fog illusion slowly disappeared. Because of the fight between the two bosses, the fish all fled to the sky without caring about Angor anymore.
Suddenly, only the Phosphorescent Jellyfish and the Lord of Tentacles were left fighting in the lava lake.
As soon as the illusion disappeared, he quickly ran away from the battlefield. Then, Keely picked him up, hung him on a broom, and drove him away.
On the other side, the Lord of Tentacles was forced to focus on fighting the Phosphorescent Jellyfish, while Sinehowze and the others also took the opportunity to escape from the area of effect. The Lord of Tentacles tried to chase after them, but the Phosphorescent Jellyfish wouldn't let it go so easily.
Seeing its egg being taken away by Sinehowze, the Lord of Tentacles roared and doubled its size. Blood gushed out of its skin, and its strength reached an unimaginable level again.
The area of effect also became several times larger, and the people who were already far away were once again suppressed.
Everyone's expression was gloomy as they watched their hope turn into disappointment once again.
Suddenly, a cold and emotionless mechanical voice echoed in everyone's ears. "Your power has reached its peak. The sacrifice has been brought forward."
Everyone turned around to look at the source of the voice.
The black-robed Luo Sen had appeared in the sky above the lava lake.
Lawson looked down at the Lord of Tentacles and the Phosphorescent Jellyfish in surprise. Muse was right. Angor managed to turn the situation around in the end.
Of course, Angor wouldn't be able to get anything out of the fight even if the Lord of Tentacles and the Phosphorescent Jellyfish fought against each other.
However, his actions had caused these two demonic fish, who originally had their own territories and did not invade each other, to clash. The Phosphorescent Jellyfish even reached the level of a wizard because of the fight.
At the same time, the Lord of Tentacles also grew stronger because of the Phosphorescent Jellyfish's attack and the theft of its egg. Even though this was a special kind of strength, once it calmed down, its strength would definitely plummet to the Worldly realm.
But it didn't matter. Here he was.
He just needed to sacrifice the Lord of Tentacles and the Phosphorescent Jellyfish when they reached their peak. That way, the benefits would be much more useful than the sacrifice.
Lawson estimated that the increase in strength of one main sacrifice and one side sacrifice would reduce the number of sacrifices by at least 20%.
In other words, 90% of apprentices would be sacrificed before, but 70% would be saved now. In other words, Angor's plan saved tens of thousands of apprentices.
Lawson didn't really care about the number of apprentices who died, but it would be easier for him to explain to the other organizations. It was also a good thing for Floating Mech City.
…
Following Lawson's appearance, a violent whirlpool appeared in the dark sky. As soon as Lawson said "sacrifice ahead of time", a giant metal hand reached out from the vortex and covered the Lord of Tentacles and the Phosphorescent Jellyfish.
The Lord of Tentacles and the Phosphorescent Jellyfish had reached their limits, but they still couldn't resist Lawson's attack.
They were crushed into meat paste in an instant, and the energy and flesh that escaped from their bodies flowed back to the world.
With that done, Lawson gave Angor a meaningful look before he slowly disappeared into thin air.
Seeing Lawson disappear, everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they felt the energy in the air return to normal.
Rocky, who had been lying on the back of the White Sand Rhino, sat up again and sighed. "That's great. We're finally safe. Nothing bad will happen to us, right? "
But as soon as he spoke, they heard a loud rumbling coming from underground. They looked down and saw the scorched earth of the Lava Zone crumbling. Lava was spewing out of the ground, reaching hundreds of meters into the air from time to time. At the same time, a large amount of black smoke rose from the ground, turning the Lava Zone into a forbidden zone again.
"Shut your crow's mouth!" Hermes slapped Loki's head and spoke to Tana. "We can't stay here for too long. Let's get out of here."
Tana glanced at Alan, who was still half-conscious. "Okay."
Although they had some unpleasant experiences before, they all reached a consensus and flew out of the lava area. No one said a word as they left. However, they kept glancing at the young man who was hanging on Keely's broom.
Their eyes were filled with unspeakable emotions.
Lawson was the one who killed the two wizard-level monsters, but they all knew that this young man was the one who made it happen.
At first, they thought Angor was just a coward who didn't live up to his name. But who would dare to take such a large group of fishes for a stroll? Which apprentice would dare to scheme against wizard-level monsters? More importantly, he did it!
Not only did Angor live up to his name, but he was also much stronger than what was described in the magazines.
Angor was still panting heavily on Keely's broom. He still hadn't calmed down yet.
He didn't feel anything when he was fighting a wizard-level monster. It was only after everything was over that he began to feel fear. In the situation at that time, the slightest mistake would have resulted in death. Even his soul might not have been able to escape.
Now that he thought about it, he felt chills running down his spine.
Suddenly, he heard a soft "meow". He turned around and saw Luna, the black cat sitting on the broom handle, jumped onto his shoulder and meowed at him.
Luna sensed Angor's unstable mind, so it licked Angor's cheek with its pink tongue.
Angor was a little surprised, and the fear in his heart disappeared.
"Luna is thanking you," Keely spoke in a plain tone.
"Thanking me?" Angor didn't know what she meant.
"It thinks we'd all be dead without you, so it's thanking you."
For some reason, Angor felt that Keely's voice was not as cold as before. There was something else in it.
Angor nodded. "I was just trying to save myself. I didn't know it would end up like this."
Keely was going to ask Angor how he attracted so many fish, but she felt it was inappropriate to ask such a question from someone else's point of view. So, she gave up and focused on guiding the broom forward.
Angor patted Luna's head to show his friendliness.
Luna was licking Angor's face a second ago, but the next second, three bloody scratches were left on his hand. He yelped in pain as Luna's tail slapped his face. Luna then hopped onto the broom without looking back.
"That's a cat for you. What a weird temper!" Angor cursed in pain. He cast Heal on his hand and glared at Luna, who was still pretending to be innocent.
"Luna doesn't like other people touching it. If you want to touch it, you have to do it when it's happy," Keely said.
Angor glanced at Luna. "It's not happy right now?"
"It's somewhere between happy and unhappy." Keely paused and rubbed Luna's chin. "It's happy now."
"???"
The black cat's expression didn't change at all! How can you tell if it's happy or not? Also, how can its mood change so fast? Can it switch between happy and unhappy in a second? How can I tell if you're happy or not?
"I know." Keely read Angor's expression. "I know all about Luna's emotions."
Angor complained in his mind. As expected, pets took after their masters. They all had weird personalities.
