Rein glanced at Angor with an indifferent look as he recalled some rumors he heard recently.
"You're Angor?" Rein's voice was slow, but it had a calming effect.
Angor didn't know why Rein asked such a question, but he quickly answered with a serious look, "Yes."
Rein glanced at Angor from head to toe and then glanced at Sunders. You've got yourself a good student.
Sunders returned a smile. I'm so lucky.
Rein chuckled and nodded to Angor. Without saying anything, he walked past Angor and went to Sunders' side. The two stood side by side and looked at the strange omen in the sky.
"What a familiar scene." Rein wasn't too surprised by the power of nature.
Sunders, on the other hand, narrowed his eyes and looked around. "It is. But … it's too much of a coincidence."
"What do you mean by coincidence?" Rein looked at Sunders. "Greya has been accumulating knowledge for so many years. Isn't it normal for her to create new spells again?"
As a level-3 truth-finder wizard, Rein knew what was going on.
It was clear that someone was comprehending a new spell technique, and this new spell technique had caused the heavens and earth to tremble. It didn't take long for Rein to figure out the source of the omen. Greya, who was temporarily staying at Phantom Island, was probably the cause.
Ever since Greya became a truth-finder wizard with her Genesis spell, there was no news about her creating a new spell. It was about time for her to create a new one. Rein didn't find it strange. He only felt a little regretful that a wizard from another organization got ahead of them in Brute Cavern's territory.
Unfortunately, Brute Cavern hadn't created a new spell for hundreds of years. A wizard who could create a new spell didn't come from Brute Cavern, which was why many wizards couldn't recognize the omen.
"Isn't it a coincidence? Greya never came up with a new spell after spending so many years outside. But now, she came to Phantom Island with me and created this one. Isn't it a coincidence? "
Rein chuckled. "So everything in this world is a coincidence. Even if you change the logic, it's still the same. "
What Rein meant was that Sunders' words were all nonsense.
Sunders didn't bother explaining. He only looked at the magic hut that was releasing a large amount of energy and glanced at Angor from the corner of his eyes.
Angor was spacing out. He heard their conversation clearly because they didn't try to cover it up.
So the dark clouds in the sky and the omen came from Greya's new spell? But he also had the same question. Why did Greya choose to do it now of all times?
"I'm curious. What has Greya been doing these days? Why is she learning spells at Phantom Island?" Rein asked.
Rein's question made Angor's heart skipped a beat.
What could Greya be doing? As far as he knew, Greya had been immersing herself in the illusion of Twinning for several days. Not long ago, he passed by Greya's magic hut on his way to Valley of Souls. Back then, he sensed a nightmare aura enveloping Greya, which meant she was still immersed in her illusions.
Angor tried to connect the dots and realized that Sunders also learned a cantrip called "Wither" not long ago.
Angor's heart was pounding as he thought about what just happened.
A bold idea popped up in his mind. Could it be that Greya learned a new spell because of the Mystery manifestation in the illusion?
Thinking of this, Angor began to worry about his own gains and losses.
If this was true, Angor's first priority was not to think about the benefits. Instead, he had to think about how to deal with the negative consequences.
A Mystery manifestation that could help a wizard learn a new spell was enough to make the entire wizarding world go crazy.
One of the hallmarks of a truth-finder wizard was to create a spell that belonged to him or her and gain the approval of the world's consciousness.
If this was true, truth-finders could be mass-produced by using Mystery manifestations to learn new spells.
Of course, what he didn't know was that Greya did rely on his Mystery manifestation to break through the key of Birth. However, this didn't mean she learned a new spell by relying on the manifestation.
At most, the massive amount of information in the manifestation was only a catalyst to help her achieve a breakthrough she couldn't think of before. In the end, Greya created a new spell.
In other words, 99% of the credit came from Greya's own efforts, while only 1% came from the manifestation.
Even so, if there was a 50% chance of success, people would take the risk out of desperation. If there was a 100% chance of success, it was enough to make people ignore the rules. If there were more benefits, even if it meant risking their lives, there would still be people who would come to share the benefits.
Even if the manifestation of Mystery didn't allow people to create new spells, and it only provided 1% of the total benefits, wizards would still be stuck for decades or even centuries because of this 1%. In this case, the manifestation of Mystery didn't provide a 100% chance of success. It would provide a 1000% chance of success, or even more.
Angor trembled in fear at his own guess.
Sunders pointed at his eye and smiled at Rein. "I've already told you about my eye. It's my main focus these days. I don't care about anything else. I don't know what Greya has been doing lately. Besides, Greya always locks her door, and I don't like peeking into a lady's room. "
A light flashed in Rhine's eyes as he faintly smiled, "That's right. The heartless Phantom Master has always scoffed at women."
Rein quickly changed the topic and began to tease Sunders. "You really don't want to have a child, Sunders? I once read Samantha's diary. When she was young, she always wanted to be a good wife and mother for you. "
Samantha? Angor was confused. Who's this? Is she Professor's old lover?
"Like I said, I'm not interested in broken glass." Sunders looked disgusted when he mentioned Samantha. "I've never thought about having a child. I'll be immortal myself. I don't need to impose my wishes on the next generation."
Rein's serious expression cracked a little because of Sunders' words. Sunders seemed to be talking about himself, but he was actually pointing out Rein's failure.
Rein chuckled bitterly. "As a father, I didn't do enough."
The topic of Sunders' interest in women could no longer be carried on after this interruption. For a moment, there was silence in the hall.
While Rein was reminiscing about his past with Samantha, Sunders turned around, leaned against the railing, and slowly took off his white gloves.
It looked like a casual movement, but Angor noticed that Sunders was giving him a meaningful look: Don't say anything, don't explain, and don't do anything.
Angor nodded.
Angor knew that Greya's new spell might have something to do with the manifestation of Mystery, so Sunders knew it too. He knew what was at stake, which was why he decided to warn Angor about it.
No spell could fool a powerful wizard like Rein Mute. This was the best way to warn Angor.
The dark clouds were still gathering in the sky. Thunder and lightning never stopped. Tens of thousands of lightning bolts struck down at the same time, setting all the trees on Phantom Island on fire.
All kinds of phantom beasts fled in all directions while howling in pain.
The fire was about to reach the inside of the manor. Sunders finally made his move. He closed his eyes and summoned strange green creatures from all over the manor.
These green blobs varied in size. Some were as small as an adult's fist, while some were as big as a mountain of meat. They all looked smooth and watery, and each had a pair of small, black bean-like eyes.
They looked like swollen slimes, which made them look cute.
These green balls jumped and jumped, spontaneously forming a circle, tightly encircling the manor. When there was a mountain fire, the moment the flames touched Tuan Zi, they would spontaneously turn into white mist and dissipate in the clouds.
Not only did these blobs stop the fire, but they also prevented the lightning bolts from doing any harm to them. Angor was shocked.
Are they monsters? Or some kind of spell?
Sunders chuckled. "I put you in charge of Phantom Island. But I don't think you've asked Goode about the layout of the island."
"These are a type of synthetic phantom beast called Boguri. They're immune to most energy attacks, but they can only withstand attacks below wizard-level. There's a breeding area for Boguri under the island. "
Angor felt a little embarrassed. He didn't ask Butler Goode about the layout of Phantom Island.
At this moment, Rhine finally recovered from his thoughts.
"Sunders, when you created Nightmare Substitute, you didn't have such a powerful aura, did you?" Sunders nodded.
"That's right. Back then, the aura only reached a hundred kilometers away, and the world's consciousness didn't show up in person."
Rein chuckled. "That's Greya for you. Every time she releases a spell, she always triggers a huge array. But this time, it's not as powerful as the Genesis spell. "
"Greya's first signature spell was Genesis, which was called 'Creation'. It's too difficult for Greya to improve on it, let alone surpass it. "
"You're right. It's difficult to follow up." Rein suddenly looked back at Sunders. "Do you think Greya's new spell is the same as before? Or did she change her path?"
