The color of the entire illusion was extremely gloomy, and the dense gray fog covered the entire area. Even the daytime couldn't disperse the gloominess.
However, the area of the illusion was not completely devoid of light. Jebra quickly noticed that lights were rising from the ruins. Some of them were fluorescent lamps, some were fireflies, and most of them were lantern harpies floating in the air.
Jebra saw a group of terrifying banshees hovering in the sky with scarlet lights.
These banshees looked ferocious. Each of them held a lamp in one hand and a giant scythe in the other. They could easily cut down trees and rocks with a simple swing.
However, upon closer inspection, one would notice that these banshees were filled with some kind of illusion power. They weren't real banshees. Instead, they were just illusions.
"What did Angor set up these banshees for?"
Also, there were banshees. Why were there so many ghosts and spirits everywhere? Was it to stop people from entering the orphanage?
As Jebra pondered, a man wearing a headscarf rushed out of a broken building while crying.
There was a blood-red light flashing in the corridor.
After the man came out, he was still shouting, "Five more minutes, five more minutes … Just five more minutes and I'll survive."
He heard the strange giggling of a little girl coming from the broken building behind him.
It was a scary girl wearing a blood-red dress. She was holding a small file in her hand and was slowly flying out of the building.
The man was terrified by the sight of the girl in red. He jumped up and ran for his life.
However, the outside wasn't as peaceful as he thought it would be. There were even more butchers sharpening their knives and looking at him. After running for a while, the man saw a strange little girl hiding in the bushes like a spider.
The man was stunned for a moment. He pointed at the spider girl and said with a trembling voice, "I-I-I seem to have seen your corpse in the basement … weren't you frozen?"
The spider girl didn't answer him. Instead, she opened her mouth wide, revealing her sharp teeth that glinted in the light of the fluorescent lamps.
Other than the girl in red, the new Butcher, Spider Girl, came online.
"Ah!" The man screamed in despair and called out two names at the same time. One was Mister Padt, and the other was Alda, save me!
Jebra frowned as he watched the scene unfold.
He knew who this man was. Angor found him in a fishing village. Jebra recalled that the boy called him "Uncle Tulu" when he went to save him. Angor had been taking him with him ever since they left Ferran.
The strange thing was, Angor took a soul away from this place while leaving the talent behind. What was that supposed to mean?
Was he training? Jebra pondered for a moment and looked at the girl in red again.
"An illusion? No, wait … that's a real soul! "Who would have thought that not only would there be terrifying creatures created by illusions in this illusory realm, there would also be spirits? Her soul energy was as strong as a beginner apprentice's. This Tulu guy probably won't be able to get away.
To Jebra's surprise, the girl didn't catch up with Tulu at all. There were plenty of secret passages and hiding spots in the ruined orphanage. Duru fled in all directions, taking advantage of the difference in vision to avoid his pursuers.
The Spider Girl lost Tulu in the twists and turns.
However, this kind of 'detour tactic' was useful against illusory creations with low intelligence, but it was useless against the girl in red. After Tulu shook off the spider girl, she flew to a lower altitude to search for Tulu. No matter how hard he tried to hide, he couldn't.
Unless Tulu hid inside the building again.
"Heeheehee, don't worry. I won't kill you so quickly. I'll cut off your flesh bit by bit and use your blood to water the cherry trees." The girl in red's seductive voice drifted into Tulu's ears.
Tulu looked at the girl in the red dress and hurriedly ran toward the open field.
"You won't kill me! Mister Padt won't let you kill me!" Tulu cried as he ran away. I'll live! I'll — "
"Do you think I'll kill you? Heeheehee. " The girl's cold voice came again. "Mister Padt told me that I won't let you die so easily. But I'll cut off your limbs, use your blood, and eat your flesh. You won't die so easily, right? "
Every time the girl mentioned a punishment, Tulu's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't hold back his tears anymore.
Jebra shook his head. "You're talking so much when you're going to kill him. You're just trying to scare him, aren't you? How stupid is this Tulu? Running to the empty field … "
However, Jebra soon realized that he was wrong. Tulu collapsed on the ground, and the girl in red didn't chase after him.
A boy with a pure soul jumped down from his wooden horse and stood in front of Tulu. "Time's up, Sunny. Dawn is over. This is a safe zone. You can't enter again. "
Tulu looked at the boy in front of him with tears in his eyes. "Alda, you're a good boy …"
Sunny floated in the air with her red dress fluttering in the wind. "Rules? I'm not going to follow them. "
Without hesitation, Sunny dashed into the field. But in the next second, the field was covered in a thick mist. Soon, Sunny was ejected out of the dense fog.
She tried several times, but she couldn't get out of the mist. Clearly, Angor was not joking when he mentioned the safe zone.
Sunny stomped her foot on the ground. "You better fall into my hands. At least you'll die a slower death. But if you fall into the hands of other monsters … Heh …"
Sunny spat out some harsh words before she angrily turned around and flew back to the broken building she was resting in.
Jebra, who had witnessed the dramatic scene, finally understood what was going on.
He was planning to capture the girl and ask her why Angor came here. But now, he realized that the illusion was only a test for Angor.
Even the "safe zone" had appeared. How could this "daybreak game" not be considered a test?
Most likely, Tulu was the target of the test.
The girl in red must have made a deal with Angor. After all, she was the only real killer in this world. Of course, Jebra couldn't go after her now. Angor might notice something fishy.
"To build such a huge illusion realm just to train a talented person, I can't believe that. Only Angor can do something like this. " Jebra sighed. He had to admit that the game mechanism of the illusion was quite perfect. The "Butcher" was a powerful and versatile hunter, while the "Survivor" had to rely on his courage and intelligence to escape. The winner would be the one who survived.
This kind of testing method was very useful when used to test talents.
The winner of the game must be someone who was bold, careful, courageous, and resourceful. This kind of person was naturally very suitable for the Sorcerer World. The Sorcerer Organization would spend a lot of effort to nurture them. Even if their talent was a little low, they might still be able to shine.
The losers of the game wouldn't die either. They could distribute the resources that were slightly weaker and watch the future development of the game with a free-range attitude. After all, many people were timid in the beginning. But as time went by, they would eventually grow stronger.
This kind of tempering test was much more suitable than the so-called blood fights, death battlefields, lightless cages, and other kinds of selections for talented people.
"The Game of Dawn, right? Maybe I should ask Professor about this when I get back, "Jebra muttered to himself.
Jebra observed the illusion for a while longer. He knew that Angor was only using this place to test Tulu, but he still couldn't figure out why Angor chose to come here, and what was going on with all those souls.
Jebra decided to stay for a while longer. Since Tulu was here, Angor would definitely come back from Saint Sem City.
As for why Angor went to Saint Sem City? Jebra assumed that Angor was going to look for talents. He didn't want to get involved in something as boring as testing someone's talent. He might as well stay here and watch Tulu's desperate struggle while trying to uncover the secret of the orphanage.
Jebra had already made up his mind. Unfortunately, his plan was always changed.
Just as he was about to sneak into the building, the scale between his eyebrows suddenly began to heat up. Jebra pointed at his forehead and released a palm-sized blue flying fish from his space ring.
At first, Jebra thought that it was just a bored whale. But when he saw that it was actually a blue flying fish, he trembled.
Flunza had used the last bit of his water elemental avatar to summon this blue flying fish not long ago. It didn't have any other function, and its only use was to sense … the mysterious fluctuations!
Why did the little blue flying fish sense the mysterious ripple? Could it be that there was some kind of mysterious object within a hundred miles?
Jebra quickly flew up into the air and forgot about his plan of finding out the secret of the orphanage. He flew out of the orphanage through the weakest part of the illusion.
Jebra looked around at the dark sky and released the little flying fish.
He wanted to use it to find out where the Mystery ripples were coming from.
Soon, the fish gave Jebra a general direction. Once it did that, the fish quickly shrank and disappeared from his sight.
The fish could only sense the target within a hundred kilometers, and it could only sense the target when the target activated a Mystery item. Once that was done, the fish would lose all its energy. In other words, it was a one-use item.
Jebra looked at the direction the fish was pointing at and frowned.
The direction within a hundred miles was … Saint Sem City?!
Jebra suddenly realized something. Why would there be Mystery ripples in Saint Sem City?
He knew that there were supernaturals in the city. Although they weren't strong, they were still supported by the Tower of Hurricane. If there was a Mystery item in the city, the news would have spread out already. However, Saint Sam had never heard of any mysterious item before, which meant that this mysterious item was very likely to have only appeared recently.
Or maybe … today?
Jebra's heart raced. What was so special about Saint Sem City today?
Angor went to Saint Sem City?!
