Wallace's students?
Wallace was also a level-2 wizard and a core member of Brute Cavern just like Sunders. However, Wallace was more of an academicist. In some aspects, he did not agree with Sunders' ideals.
Angor looked at the two people again.
They seemed to have noticed Angor's gaze as well. They tilted their heads and showed strange expressions.
"Praise the Queen … Praise Shava … Praise Yorkshire …" Strange voices echoed in Angor's ears.
Next, they bowed to Angor respectfully and moved away from Angor with their limbs twisted in a strange way like marionettes.
This was the third time this happened. Whenever Angor showed himself, the victims would retreat on their own. It was exactly the same as when Angor was in Midnight Sovereign.
Sunders glanced at the two people who were moving away and turned to leave.
"Aren't we going to take them away, professor?" Angor wondered. These two people were Mister Wallace's students and apprentices of Brute Cavern.
"He's Wallace's student. Let him worry about it," Sunders said in a plain tone.
Angor hesitated for a moment and watched Sunders disappear into the darkness. Then he followed Sunders.
The speed of the two of them was extremely fast, and the surrounding environment was like a revolving lantern, constantly moving backwards.
They were heading toward the central area of the outer city. According to Filo, the sound of the harp came from this area.
Sunders came to the outer city to kill the fox that escaped from his hands, and to find Greya. While Greya was nowhere to be found, he planned to kill the fox harp-wielder first.
Furthermore, after killing the Fox Harp, the mysterious harp would naturally be his.
It was not easy to find a Mystery item in the Nightmare Realm because it could not be brought back. However, if a monster from the Nightmare Realm brought it to the wizarding world, it would be a different story.
"Do you have something to say to me?" Sunders suddenly turned to Angor and asked, "Do you have something to say to me?"
Angor was surprised. "Am I that obvious?"
Sunders' voice came again. "You've been looking like you wanted to say something. You were waiting for me to ask, weren't you?"
Angor chuckled. He did not feel embarrassed at all. "I'm just … going to take a look at Brute Cavern's branch."
Sunders nodded as if he already knew what Angor was thinking. "You're doing this for Ness' student, right? Let me think. Hookdick injected with the succubus blood, right? "
Ever since Filo mentioned that he ran into Ness' disciple in the outer city, Sunders noticed Angor's dazed look. This was why he wasn't surprised at all when Angor mentioned that he wanted to visit Brute Cavern's branch.
"Yes." Angor nodded. "It's a good chance. He almost tricked me in the Sea of Purification. I've been looking for him ever since I returned to Brute Cavern, but he's long gone. I didn't expect to see him here. "
Sunders considered for a moment and gave Angor a thoughtful look. "Go. I don't think anyone can hurt you in this darkness."
Angor hesitated for a moment. "Also, I think a good friend of mine is trapped here. I want to save her."
"You can save anyone you want. But are you sure you can take her out of the darkness? "
Angor was a little surprised. Didn't Sunders put them in the gravity garden on purpose?
On second thought, Sunders could have saved Wallace's students and brought them out of the gravity garden. But he didn't do so, which meant Sunders didn't want outsiders to enter the garden.
"I'll try." He rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, I'll try."
"Go ahead, then. But if you really bring them out, there will be trouble. You need to learn how to think carefully." With that, Sunders cut his finger with his fingernail, and a drop of blood oozed out from his right fingertip.
It was a drop of crimson blood that contained a large amount of stable energy.
Angor was shocked. He always had a vague idea of how strong Sunders was. He only knew that the man was strong, but he never knew how strong he was. But now, he had a clear comparison.
This was because he discovered that this drop of blood alone was enough to overcome all of the Mana in his Mana Source. In other words, a single drop of Sunders' blood was enough to destroy his soul.
Sunders flicked his finger, and the drop of blood turned into a glowing red orb and landed on Angor's palm.
"Take it with you. I'll be able to sense your location." With that, Sunders patted Angor's shoulder and disappeared into the darkness.
He pinched the blood bead in his palm and felt something warm coming from it.
He exhaled deeply and whispered to Toby, "Time to go. Let's find Hookdick first. Maybe we can run into Lady Greya too."
Toby flapped his wings and circled around Angor.
"Don't get too far from me. Those parasites will affect you too." Angor warned Toby. A gray aura appeared under his feet.
The man and the bird exchanged glances. Then, the sequence of gravity burst out, and they disappeared in an instant.
In less than a minute, Angor and Toby arrived at Brute Cavern's outpost.
He floated in the air and looked down at the building. In the darkness, he could only see the "Tree of Eternity" emblem shining faintly. As for the shadowy buildings behind it, they were all covered by the chaotic darkness.
He closed his eyes and listened carefully, but he didn't hear anything. He didn't even hear the strange song of praise. It was as if he was in an abandoned building.
Angor landed on the ground and asked Toby to take out a lighter and an oil lamp from Snowy Feather.
His bracelet was left behind in Sunders' Gravity Garden along with his body. He couldn't cast Light in his soul form, so he had to use the primitive method.
Luckily, Toby's Snowy Feather had a lot of miscellaneous items, including the oil lamp.
The light from the oil lamp was dim and could only illuminate a few meters around him.
However, as a soul, Angor had good night vision, so he could see his surroundings clearly as long as there was a bit of light.
In the dim light, Angor could see the messy traces of a fight on the ground, as well as some dried blood stains.
With his current height, Angor could still sense the energy waves left behind by the fight, but it must have been some time ago.
"Too bad I can't use cantrips, or I could use Detect to find more clues." Angor shook his head. "According to Mister Filo, Shiliew and Hookdick fought around here, and these blood stains are probably from their fight."
Angor thought for a moment and asked Toby to come down. "Take a sniff."
Toby didn't know what to do, but it was still Angor's order, so he took a sniff and smelled something fishy.
Angor quickly asked with a hopeful look, "Can you find its owner by following the scent?"
Toby didn't know what to say. Not every animal could smell like a dog!
Toby rolled his eyes at Angor. "See for yourself."
Angor chuckled awkwardly.
Since Toby couldn't track the blood, Angor had to use the most primitive method — using his eyes.
However, the blood stains were all strange. Some were on roofs, some were on the streets, and some even fell into the wet grass. Angor couldn't find a single trace.
While looking around, he saw a broken wall in front of him.
The broken wall attracted Angor's attention because of the spiraling energy coming out of the broken wall in the shape of a ring.
Angor's expression turned grim when he sensed the familiar energy.
There were more than one spiral force in this world, but Angor believed that the spiral rune was the only one in the entire southern wizardry region.
Angor engraved a spiral rune on the mechanical arm he made for Nausica. This particular rune was considered a very special one in his alchemy books. Mithra couldn't believe his ears when he heard Angor's words.
Mithra had never heard of this rune before, so he had no idea what it could do.
If even a master alchemist like Mithra didn't know about spiral runes, this rune must be the only one in the entire southern wizardry region.
Angor was certain that the broken wall was caused by the spiral rune.
His bad feeling was right. Nausica was in Sleepless City, and she fought against Hookdick.
Apart from Nausica, Angor also saw several giant footprints that didn't belong to humans. He quickly simulated the footprints and realized that they belonged to a barbarian from another world.
Gank was here, and so was Shan.
It seemed that Shan, Shiliew, and Nausica left Brute Cavern a month ago to kill Hookdick. But they didn't expect something like this to happen to Sleepless City.
Angor put away his unnecessary thoughts. If Nausica was here, he had to find her.
He entered the building with an oil lamp in hand.
He walked around the building and confirmed that it was completely empty. There were traces of chaos everywhere, but no signs of fighting. Perhaps the residents here panicked after the incident at the Darkness Domain.
After leaving the station, he planned to follow the traces left behind by the battle.
However, the traces of the battle were limited to the area around the entrance of the Martial Arts Academy. It was impossible to find any more information.
There were so many parasites in Sleepless City. It would be hard for Nausica and her companions not to get infected.
Angor would have to run all over the city if he wanted to find them. There was no way they would stay in the same spot. They must be doing Brownian motion somewhere in the city.
God only knew where they went.
Angor sighed. He had no choice but to search around the building with Brute Cavern as the center. Luckily, he was in his soul form. With the help of the sequence of gravity, he could move quickly. As long as they didn't enter the building, it was only a matter of time before he found them.
