Luna bit Angor's clothes and quickly dove downward.
Soon, Angor saw the black vortex again. This time, he didn't approach it. Instead, he observed the vortex from afar. It was all dark around the vortex, and he couldn't see anything.
"Based on the energy waves from the scales, they're inside the black vortex." Angor wasn't sure if the black vortex was dangerous or not, so he didn't want to go in recklessly.
Luna noticed his hesitation and was sucked into the vortex right in front of Angor.
Angor watched as the creature disappeared from his sight. However, it soon came out of the vortex again and swam to Angor's side while meowing in a low voice.
So he could get out of the vortex?
In that case, Angor felt a bit more confident. He didn't have much time to waste. If he wanted to save Luna, he had to act now.
With that in mind, he jumped into the vortex without hesitation.
As soon as he entered the vortex, he felt the suction force weakening. He looked back and saw the exit of the vortex.
Since there was an exit, Angor decided to explore further.
After entering the black vortex, Angor noticed that the light around him was getting dimmer. It seemed that there was some kind of substance in the surroundings that absorbed or scattered all the light shining on the surface of the sea.
The deeper he went, the darker it got.
He couldn't use Light since his soul was ejected from his body. Angor couldn't see the bottom of the vortex.
Luna suddenly spat out two wisps of Ghostfire from her mouth. It was the same kind of cold fire he saw in Keely's hand. It was emitting a cold white glow.
The two wisps of Ghostfire were quite dim. Together with the light-absorbing substance, they looked like fluorescent lights. It would be a miracle if they could light up half a meter.
Luna controlled the wisps of Ghostfire to wander around the area.
Under the dim light, Angor noticed that this place was no different from other areas of the sea. He saw several small fishes swimming around him, but none of them were supernatural creatures.
The only difference was that it was darker and there were some unknown illusion nodes around it.
He tried to attack one of the illusion nodes, and the node shattered right away. But almost instantly, a new illusion node was formed.
He couldn't tell what kind of illusion these nodes belonged to. In fact, he couldn't even tell what kind of illusion they belonged to.
Also, why wasn't Luna affected by the illusion? Could it be that this illusion was only targeted at humans?
With the light as his guide, he kept going deeper.
Under the illumination of the fire, he saw many ugly deep-sea fishes that could only be seen in the deep sea. Under the faint white light, their appearance was extremely terrifying. However, they were all ordinary fish. Other than being able to scare people, there was no other threat.
After diving for several hundred meters, he saw many supernatural creatures. Most of them were the same ones he saw in the flying fish world. He didn't want to waste his soul energy on them, so he tried to avoid them. But soon, he found himself blocked by a ten-meter-long winged shark.
The shark's wings seemed to have evolved from fins, and they were covered in ice shards.
There was no doubt that this was an extraordinary sea beast.
In his soul form, Angor was as strong as a half-step wizard, so the battle was over in a matter of seconds. However, he soon realized that something was wrong.
From beginning to end, this sea beast had never attacked his physical body. Instead, it had been relentlessly attacking his soul. In the end, after he killed the sea beast, the corpse of the sea beast turned into pieces and completely disappeared.
"This isn't a real sea beast. Is it some kind of consciousness? Or is it an illusion? "Angor began to observe the other sea monsters carefully. None of them had bodies. The ones with bodies were just ordinary fishes.
Was this really the work of an illusionist apprentice?
Were these supernatural creatures just illusions?
That didn't seem right.
Two minutes later, Luna suddenly meowed and handed the heart scale to Angor.
Based on the feedback from the scale, the aura of the single scale had already reached Keely's location.
According to the Meraid's Sword, Keely and the others weren't moving at all. It seemed they were still sleeping. This scale alone could be harmful to Keely and the others.
With that in mind, Angor no longer tried to hide his speed. He didn't care if he would attract the attention of the sea beasts or not.
Suddenly, Angor felt as if he had just passed through a thin membrane.
As soon as he entered the strange space, he saw the people lying on the ground with the help of his Nether Flame. At this time, Luna suddenly meowed in a direction.
Angor looked back and saw a dark shadow dragging Nausica to the side.
"Who's there?!" Angor yelled and attacked with the sequence of gravity.
The shadowy figure let go of Nausica and turned to run. When Angor arrived, the shadowy figure was already gone. However, Angor still managed to hit the shadow with his sequence of gravity. He also heard a cry of pain.
The purposely suppressed voice sounded low and hoarse, but Angor could tell that it was a woman.
Also, it wasn't a Duon or Duon. It was a human.
So she's the source of the illusion? But why did she run away? She didn't look strong at all.
Angor didn't chase after the shadow. Instead, he helped Nausica up.
"Grrr!" He heard Luna's voice from behind. Angor looked back and saw Luna slapping Keely's face with her claws. Soon, several claw marks appeared on Keely's face. The sound he heard was the sound of Keely waking up.
"Luna?" Keely touched her burning face and looked around. "Where am I?"
Keely woke up? Does this mean I can't use illusions anymore?
Angor tried to return his soul to his body. Sure enough, he was no longer unconscious. However, he could still sense the strange illusion nodes around him. They felt familiar to him, but he couldn't remember where he saw them.
Keely woke up and went to wake the others up.
When everyone woke up, Angor told them what happened earlier.
"Black vortex?" Keely rubbed her forehead. "I don't remember anything. Maybe I was really asleep?"
"Let's not talk about anything else. There are only 50 minutes left until the countdown ends. We need to get out of here now." Angor asked everyone to stand up. No matter what was going on, he had no time to explore. He had to get out of here.
"My … Meraid's Sword is gone." Nausica, who had been keeping her head low, suddenly spoke up in a hesitant tone.
Everyone looked at Nausica. "What happened to your face, Nausica?" Shan asked in surprise.
Nausica had been looking down the whole time, so they didn't notice anything until Shan called out first. There was a deep cut on Nausica's face from her left forehead to her right cheek.
Nausica saw that she couldn't hide anymore. She lifted her hair and revealed her face. "I don't know what happened, but I woke up like this. But it's just a scratch. I already used Heal on it. "
"Is it that woman?" Angor wondered.
"Which woman?" Shan was furious. "I'm going to kill her. How dare she try to ruin Nausica's face!"
Angor quickly explained what he saw. "Nausica's Meraid's Sword and her face. She must be the one who did it."
"So it's him then! I'll kill him if I see him! " Shan paused. "But we didn't lose our Meraid's Swords. There are so many of us here. Why did they only attack Nausica? Is it Nausica's enemy? "
"My enemy?" In the end, she shook her head. "I don't think I have any female enemies in the wizarding world."
"Wait, you have one. Did you forget about that woman in the bamboo hat? She even injured you! "Shan suddenly shouted.
Nausica was surprised, but she quickly realized what was going on.
When she entered the purification garden, she saw a woman wearing a thin veil looking at her with hatred. Back in the Flying Fish World, that woman ambushed her and injured her severely.
"Is it really her? But I don't know who she is, "Nausica muttered to herself.
"Damn that woman. If I see her again, I'll cut her into pieces!" Shan swore.
"It doesn't matter if Nausica loses her Meraid's Sword. Luna has one, and Nausica should have one as well. We can make another Meraid's Sword with them. " Angor sighed. "But we don't have time to find that woman. We have to go now, or we won't make it in time."
Everyone nodded. Nausica put on an apologetic look. "I'm sorry for the trouble."
Angor chuckled. "It's not your fault. Don't worry. I'm sure we all understand. Besides, we have extra scales to make more Meraid's Swords. One for each of us. "
With that, everyone decided to leave the place.
"I fell through a water barrier. We should be able to leave if we fly up." Angor considered. "But we'll probably be affected by illusions. If you lose consciousness, I'll carry you up."
With that, Angor ejected his soul and flew upward.
But after flying for a while, he still couldn't touch the water barrier. Instead, he fell into a thick mist.
"Something's not right. We landed on the ground after going through the water barrier. Why can't we touch the ceiling now?" Angor looked at the others with a puzzled look.
But he didn't see anyone following him.
Instead of going up, he decided to go down. About three seconds later, he saw that everyone else was looking at him in confusion.
"I'll get confused when I try to fly up, and then I'll fall back down."
"An illusion." Angor was sure that this was some kind of illusion that could even fool one's soul.
