Angor already knew that Sunders was going to enter the outer city.
The outer city was not as dangerous as the Nightmare Realm. Even if there was a tunnel leading to the Nightmare Realm, it was still within the territory of the wizarding world. Sunders was someone who frequently ventured into the Nightmare Realm, so there was no reason for him to be afraid of the outer city.
Before this, the series of actions he had taken were actually to determine how much of a surprise the outer city could bring him.
However, Anglo's prophecy was too limited. Since no one could come out of the darkness alive, Sunders decided to enter the inner city himself.
"I'll go with you, sir."
"Sure. But you should stay in the Gravity Garden until I'm sure I can guarantee your safety."
Even if the inner city was dangerous, Sunders still had a backup plan. Whether it was opening a plane passageway or entering the gravity garden, Sunders was confident enough to do so.
Since they were going to enter the outer city, Sunders didn't waste time talking to the others.
Tap, tap, tap —
A pair of black leather boots stepped on the wooden floor with a rhythmic rhythm.
"Let's go. Let's see what surprises those monsters have for us." Sunders glanced past Angor and looked at the outside world.
The sky was getting dark, and the orange-red glow of the sunset was only a small part of the horizon.
Not far away from them was a dark dome that looked like an upside-down bowl. Combined with the clear glow of the sunset, it looked like the faint glow of a total solar eclipse.
The most amazing thing was that at the very top of the dark dome, at the bottom of the inverted bowl, the dark vortex, was constantly pouring unknown mysterious energy into the bowl. It was this mysterious aura that made people from all the major Magus organizations come here from thousands of miles away. With covetous and greedy eyes, they locked onto the unknown darkness.
"Yes." Angor nodded.
Just as they were looking forward to the so-called "surprise", the "shock" came first.
A commotion suddenly came from outside the hut.
The sorcerers who were still arguing in the hut immediately stopped arguing and extended their spirit feelers outside the hut.
Professor Anglo had been waiting for something to happen in the outer city. As long as something could step out of the darkness, he would have more data to support his calculations.
But now, the data came.
However, Anglo didn't dare to take it.
What came out of the darkness were countless specks of light that carried the aura of the Nightmare Realm. There were so many of them that they filled up the entire sky.
When the wizards instinctively activated their defensive spells, the specks of light began to scatter in all directions.
With Sleepless City as the center, there were tens of thousands of apprentices hovering in the sky, forming layers upon layers of sentry posts. They were supposed to prevent outsiders from entering the city, but now they had become living targets for the specks of light.
These light spots chose this group of apprentices, and then, in a way that no one could understand, they entered their bodies.
The apprentices who were inside the specks of light began to change their expressions at a speed visible to the naked eye.
From shock and panic to dullness and dullness, it suddenly turned into delight and creepy laughter. Then, like a child who went to an amusement park for the first time, he danced in midair and spun in circles.
"What's wrong with you guys?" The apprentices who had activated their defensive spells were shocked to see the changes.
What he got in return was a melodious chant, "La la la ~ Praise the Queen, praise Shava, praise Yorkshire ~ Sunset glow, sunset glow, quickly leave, I want the moonlight to shine ~"
The strange voice did not carry any energy, but it sent chills down the spines of the apprentices.
More and more people were absorbed by the specks of light. As long as the light entered the body of an apprentice, the first thing they would do was act strangely, like a clown in a circus. They would say strange things, do funny dances, and smile strangely.
In less than two minutes, more than half of the apprentices in the sky had become "clowns".
The ones who were still conscious were those who had activated their defensive spells.
But when they thought the spells could stop the specks of light, they were defeated. However, reality slapped them in the face again.
The specks of light began to attack the apprentices who had activated their defensive spells.
The energy level of each light dot was between a Level 1 and Level 2 Apprentice.
The specks of light would self-destruct when they hit the defensive spells. They would rely on the destructive energy to attack the defensive spells.
The defensive spells might be able to block one or two specks of light. But what about more?
When one or two defensive spells were used up and there was no magic in the body, what should they do?
The apprentices fought and retreated, trying to escape from the range of the specks of light while they could still activate their defensive spells. But it was useless. There were too many specks of light and they were completely dragged into a stalemate of attrition.
Some people wanted to fight in place of defense and clear a path by attacking. It was useless because the speed of the specks of light was far beyond their imagination.
But it was not completely useless. Some people relied on large-scale flames to turn themselves into semi-elemental bodies. After clearing a path, they escaped to the ground and escaped to the square, begging the wizards present for help.
The wizards also wanted to help, but there were too many specks of light. Moreover, the dark domain was constantly spewing out specks of light, each time counted in the billions.
Even the wizards' ability could not completely block these specks of light. They even thought of joining forces and casting a large-scale defensive spell to temporarily help the apprentices build a safe protective membrane.
However, there were too many specks of light.
Even an ant could kill an elephant if there were too many of them. Moreover, each speck of light had the power of a level-1 apprentice and was attacking in a suicidal manner.
Even a wizard-level defensive barrier would not be able to withstand such an attack.
Seeing that more and more apprentices were falling into the trap, the apprentices began to panic. When the commotion broke out, the apprentices tried to escape.
The sorcerer looked towards the magical hut, hoping that the sorcerer inside could come up with a solution. However, the wizards in the hut were all dumbfounded.
It had only been a few minutes. How could the situation have changed so drastically?
"Your Excellency Radiance, what do we do now?" A wizard asked Douglas who was in the small house using a long-distance voice spell.
Douglas was still pondering over Anglo's words, wondering if he should ask the people from Starliege Church for help. While he was hesitating, something happened outside the city.
He had no idea what was going on. All he could do now was to spread out his spirit power and search for Anglo.
Soon, he saw the temporary encampment of White Coral Floating Island Academy. It was a small hut with a pointed roof in the inner city. Anglo and Heroline had serious expressions on their faces. Their lips were moving rapidly as if they were discussing something. Behind them, a group of apprentices from White Coral Floating Island Academy were huddled in a defensive magic array, shivering in fear. Every now and then, they would take out magic crystals to replenish the magic array's energy consumption.
"Do you know what's going on, Professor Anglo?" Douglas asked directly.
Anglo also sensed Douglas' power of the will. He exchanged a look with Heroline and quickly said, "Do you believe me now, Lord Radiance? The outer city will only get worse and worse. It's even affecting the inner city now."
"I don't want to hear you blame me. I just want to know what's going on. What should we do? How do we deal with these specks of light? " Douglas, who had always been a mild-tempered person, was getting anxious. "Didn't you say you wanted data? Aren't these specks of light coming from the outer city? You can study them and play the strings, right? Can't you at least give me an answer now? "
"I'm working on it right now." Anglo pushed up his glasses. Sweat was dripping down the tip of his nose.
He took out a quill and quickly calculated on the parchment. Beautiful symbols flowed between his fingers, twisting and turning with a wonderful charm.
After a while, Anglo replied, "Mister Radiance, you must not touch those specks of light. Based on what I've seen from the strings of the world, not even wizards can resist those specks of light! "
Not even wizards could resist those specks of light?! Douglas's pupils shrank.
"Then what should we do? Should we just stand here and wait? "
Anglo shook his head. "I don't know. But … Mister Radiance, you can ask Mister Qetesh. My intuition tells me that he might know something."
Anglo added, "Mister Radiance, I advise you to evacuate the crowd and leave this area."
Douglas didn't reply to that. Anglo did not know if Douglas did not hear him or did not want to reply.
It was obvious that Anglo wanted Douglas to abandon Sleepless City and find another place to live.
While the city was in chaos, Sunders was talking to Angor through their Spirit Bond. "Ah, so familiar. Those parasites are here again."
Angor looked at the chaotic scene outside and nodded. "And they seem to have evolved. They're able to escape from the nightmare aura and survive outside. "
The specks of light outside might be unfamiliar to others, but they were familiar to both of them. They were the parasites that came out of the nests of the rainbow dragonflies.
They were the cause of Midnight Sovereign's downfall.
However, this kind of parasite would only be active in the nightmare aura and could move around freely. But now, it seemed that these parasites had escaped from the nightmare aura and escaped from the city.
Sunders shook his head. "No. They didn't completely escape from the nightmare aura. Didn't you notice that these parasites carried some of the nightmare aura when they left the city? It was enough for them to survive in the outside world for a while. During this period of time, they can find a host to live on. Then, they can continue to live. "
"But how did the nightmare aura merge with the parasites? Did they really evolve? "Sunders wondered." Let's go inside and find out. "
"Professor, are we going to leave the others here? Should we use the Nightmare Domain to save them? "Angor looked at the increasing number of" clowns ".
"This isn't Midnight Sovereign. We're all supernaturals. You're not going to save them just because you want to express your gratitude." Sunders sneered. "The parasites aren't necessarily bad for them. Just leave them be."
Sunders led Angor out of the hut.
