Angor walked out of the mist together with Sunders in a daze.
As soon as they stepped out, they were met with a large group of Magi. They were surrounded by dozens of Magi.
Greya and the others, who came out earlier, were already surrounded by several wizards who were using their energy to fight against each other. Nausica and the others were already captured. Even Qetesh, whose white beard was fluttering in the air, was about to use Memory Reading on them.
Forcibly reading someone's memory would cause severe damage to the brain.
Fortunately, Greya would occasionally send energy particles to disrupt Qetesh's movement when she was fighting the others. Otherwise, they would have all been brain-damaged by Qetesh's reading.
However, Sunders' sudden appearance changed the tide of the battle.
Sunders snickered. Countless illusions appeared around him and surrounded every wizard in the area.
The wizards who were still trying to make small movements were instantly frozen as if they had turned into stone statues. Countless illusions appeared in front of their eyes.
A Nightmare covered in black flames dashed through the illusions. Even the wizards who were not trapped did not dare to move recklessly.
The target of the Nightmare was — Qetesh!
Black flames billowed, and Qetesh's eyes widened as he watched the Nightmare Lord about to rush into his body.
Suddenly, a thin layer of ice appeared in front of Qetesh and blocked the Nightmare's path. At the same time, a white figure appeared along with the ice and spoke in a low, muffled voice, "Mister Phantom, what do you mean by this?"
"What do I mean by this?" Sunders pondered for a moment and sneered, "You think you don't understand?"
The white silhouette slowly revealed itself. It was Wizard Payne in a white robe.
Payne's palm was burning with black flames. The Nightmare's attack was neutralized, but the flames were still burning until now. At that moment, his palm was already riddled with wounds, and blood was dripping down drop by drop.
However, due to the frigid aura around him, the blood had already turned into frozen blood beads before it dripped to the ground.
"I don't believe it. You knew they would come out without any warning, right? Am I right, Professor Anglo? "Sunders glanced at Anglo, who was still in the illusions and did not dare to move.
Anglo adjusted his glasses and remained silent for a long while before he said, "I've tried to talk him out of it."
Anglo knew what he meant. Payne did not listen to him.
"So, if you dare to attack a member of Brute Cavern when I'm about to come out, don't blame me for retaliating," Sunders spoke in a cold tone.
Payne's expression remained cold. He knew these people might be related to Sunders, but he did check them carefully and found that they were only apprentices. There was even a mortal among them, which was why he ordered the attack. He did not expect there to be a wizard hiding his true strength among the apprentices, which led to them were ambushed by Sunders.
"They're just apprentices, Mister Phantom," Anglo..
"Well, I don't care if you think you're important or not. But if you dare to kidnap someone despite knowing my attitude, you should be prepared for the consequences." Sunders grinned and summoned a dozen more Nightmares in his illusion.
Black flames billowed as the Nightmare Lord raised its head and hissed. Then, its figure turned into a shadow as it shuttled back and forth in the illusion.
Payne paled. "Mister Phantom, are you sure you want to become enemies with all of us here? Besides, we didn't do anything to them! "
"That's because you're too weak," Sunders sneered.
Black flames spread everywhere.
At the same time, Angor dashed toward Qetesh like a bolt of lightning. Gray gravity strings surrounded everyone in the area.
Payne glared at Angor and reached out his hand to grab Angor. At least he had enough bargaining chips to negotiate with Sunders.
But at that moment, the Blackflame Nightmares had already reached Qetesh. The threat of Qetesh's death forced Payne to protect Qetesh.
Angor chuckled and pulled Nausica and the others behind Sunders with Toby's help.
Greya also walked through the illusions and joined Sunders. As she walked, she pushed down a few adepts that had tried to lay their hands on her. She was laughing and cursing nonstop.
"You only said there are infected people outside. You didn't say there are so many unreasonable wizards," Greya complained. "I did my job well, and it wasn't easy at all."
Sunders glanced at her but didn't say anything.
Angor, on the other hand, thanked her in a small voice.
Greya walked to Sunders with a smile and put an arm around Angor's shoulder. "Look at how nice your student is."
Sunders didn't say anything and pulled Angor into his gravity garden. Greya, who was leaning on Angor's shoulder for support, almost lost her balance and fell down.
"You're such a bastard!" Greya spat.
Angor calmed himself down and headed to a small room not far away from them. Sunders was the one who brought him back to the Gravity Garden.
Sunders brought him to the place where his body was being nurtured. Sunders' intention was clear — it was better for Angor to return to his body after leaving Sleepless City. If one's soul was damaged in a battle between Magi, it wasn't something that could be easily healed.
Angor didn't return to his body right away. Instead, he took out two items from his clothes and placed them on the table. One of them was Sunders' blood orb, which was still warm.
The other was a diamond-shaped crystal that was emitting a strange energy wave.
The crystal was still emitting strange soul energy when it was placed on the table. Angor could feel it very clearly.
"Devour me. Absorb me. Eat me." That was what it meant.
In his soul form, Angor clearly sensed that the crystal was giving off a delicious aroma. Even someone like him who didn't care much about food couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Even though he didn't have such a thing in his current form.
The crystal came from Spotty.
A few minutes ago, when Angor and Sunders decided to give up on hunting the puppy, the puppy suddenly bit Angor's trouser leg, dragged him to the side, and spat out the crystal from its mouth.
The puppy did it very carefully, but it was still under Sunders' observation.
Sunders only glanced at the crystal briefly and didn't tell what it was before he took Angor away from the mist. Spotty didn't follow them. Instead, it turned around and ran into the mist.
After they left the Realm of Darkness, a series of events followed. Angor didn't know what was going on outside since he was inside the gravity garden. But since Sunders and Greya were both here, Nausica and the others should be fine.
The crystal was too tempting for Angor to simply devour it. He didn't want to cause any problems, so he decided to put it aside for now.
After removing all the foreign objects from his soul, he returned to the incubation chamber and merged with his body.
After climbing out of the chamber, Angor felt a little uncomfortable. Maybe it was because his soul had been in the wilderness for too long, and his sense of freedom was suddenly restricted, making him feel as if he was being imprisoned.
After slightly moving his somewhat stiff body, he put the blood beads and the diamond-shaped crystal on the table into his bracelet and left the room.
Since he didn't know what was going on outside, Sunders didn't let him out right away. Angor sat in the study outside and observed the crystal in boredom.
Strangely enough, when his soul returned to his body, the crystal didn't seem as attractive to him anymore. He could still sense the ripples of "absorption" and "fusion", but he didn't feel as tempted as when he was looking at a delicacy.
What was this thing? Angor couldn't figure it out.
But there was no doubt that it had something to do with souls.
Why did Spotty give it to him? And where did it come from? Images flashed through his mind, from the moment he entered Sleepless City to when he met Spotty, to when he was separated from Spotty, all of which flashed through his mind.
Suddenly, Angor's eyes widened.
When he killed Hookdick in the central district of Sleepless City, Spotty seemed to have eaten Hookdick's body. No, Spotty must have devoured Hookdick's soul.
Hookdick went to the "Soul Soil" and learned something about the law of souls. What he learned didn't form a law, but it was still attached to Hookdick's soul. What Spotty devoured was exactly what Hookdick learned about the law of souls.
Back then, Angor was quite surprised. But since Spotty already had its own Mystery World, he didn't think too much about it. He just assumed that it was one of Spotty's abilities.
Now that Spotty gave him a crystal that was obviously related to souls, he couldn't help but be intrigued. Could there be a connection between the two? Spotty absorbed Hookdick's soul and went through some unspeakable reaction, which turned it into a diamond-shaped crystal.
Did Spotty just give it to him?
It was a wild guess, but Angor's instinct told him that it was the truth.
Did Spotty have the ability to devour other people's law and give it to someone else? This was something that would shock the entire southern wizarding region!
What was a law? It was something that could only be found by luck.
Back when the Gravity Garden was opened, Angor and Toby were the only ones who benefited from it.
The other wizards sighed, but they couldn't do anything about it. This was fate. There was nothing they could do about it.
But if Spotty really did have the ability to devour another person's law and give it to someone else, it would be a miracle.
At that time, if Spotty was obtained by a Sorcerer and discovered that a lucky person had comprehended a law, he could directly kill him. Then, with Spotty's transformation ability, he would be able to obtain the corresponding law. Wouldn't that mean that he would have countless law veins in a short period of time?!
Angor was terrified by his own imagination.
But if Spotty really did have such an ability, there should be a limit to it, right?
Isabelle once told him that in the most prosperous origin world, Mystery items were not only created by wizards, but there was also a classification system. If Spotty was the Mystery item he was looking for, and its ability was just as powerful as Augustine's Twin Mirror, which Isabelle once saw.
Shaking off his own imagination, he decided that he would have to appraise the crystal to find out if it really did contain the essence of Hookdick's soul.
