Warlock Apprentice

Chapter 2081: Chapter 2082: Daring and Unafraid

Silent and tranquil.

The spiritual power received no feedback; the Void Traveler in the precious birdcage seemed like a piece of dead meat. But there was no doubt that the spiritual power wave Angel sensed earlier definitely came from it.

”Do you have intelligence? Can you communicate with humans?” Angel asked again.

A moment of silence.

”Were you captured by Mr. Boiling?” Angel asked once more.

Still, there was no response; the overweight Void Traveler seemed uninterested in conversing with Angel.

Angel pondered for a moment: ”Did you just say to let your companions go?”

Perhaps the word ”companion” triggered the Void Traveler’s anger point, as it finally transmitted a message: ”You vile scoundrel, let my companions go quickly!”

Angel could feel that the message was outwardly filled with anger, but secretly carried a trace of unease and anxiety.

Angel understood well the source of this unease and anxiety—it stemmed from self-awareness.

The Void Traveler was well aware of its current situation, being captured by Mr. Boiling and living under someone else’s roof. Their strength was weak indeed, whether facing Mr. Boiling or Angel; they were too weak to even threaten, merely expressing surface-level anger as if to rebel, but in reality, it was a facade.

However, according to Angel’s understanding of Void Travelers, shouldn’t this timid, fragile Magical Creature remain quiet and low-key?

Why not play dead under someone else’s roof instead of opening your mouth to provoke?

Why was this? Was it because... of the companions?

Angel turned to look at the other side of the transparent pipe.

The transparent door of the pipe was sealed by a strange force. To the naked eye, the pipe seemed empty, and spiritual power could not penetrate it. But he knew well that a group of Void Travelers was actually confined inside, perhaps huddling together, shivering.

”When you say companions, do you mean them?” Angel pointed to the transparent pipe and asked.

”Quickly! Let my companions go!” An urgent message reached the tip of Angel’s spirit tentacle.

This was the second distinct emotion, aside from ”anger”, that Angel sensed from the Void Traveler: urgency and anxiety, coupled with pleading and hope.

Though the Void Traveler did not utter further content, the mere change in emotion allowed Angel to sense a hidden meaning between the lines.

Angel pondered: The characteristic of Void Travelers is timidity and seclusion, but judging from the current situation, their camaraderie seems to make them transcend their innate cowardice?

If seen this way, Angel vaguely understood why these Void Travelers continued to come to the ruins one after another.

”Are they here to rescue you?” Angel asked.

Since the Void Travelers were not of the same kind as Nightmare Realm creatures, their significant presence near the ruins obviously had another purpose. A group of Void Travelers, not going anywhere else, deliberately walked into Mr. Boiling’s web; this purpose was indeed evident.

It’s highly likely they came for the fellow kin imprisoned in the precious birdcage.

”Let them go, you bunch of villains; you’ve surely bathed in the blood of the Liani Magic Whale, you will face retribution from the Void!”

”What’s the Liani Magic Whale?” Angel asked.

Angel speculated that since the Void Traveler mentioned the Liani Magic Whale twice, it was highly likely a Void Creature, or perhaps a natural enemy of their kind.

The Void Traveler still didn’t answer Angel’s questions directly, insisting on emphasizing the release of its companions.

Judging from the way it expressed its content, the logic was pretty clear, with no ambiguity in expression. This indicated that its intelligence was certainly not low; it wasn’t incapable of discussing other matters but simply unwilling to do so.

It didn’t believe and didn’t want to engage in conversation.

”They must be here to rescue you then.”

”Why would they risk so much to rescue you? It feels unrealistic to attribute it solely to kinship; perhaps there’s a more important reason? For instance, do you hold a high position among your kin? Seeing that you’re significantly heftier than them, might you be an important member of the group?” Angel gazed directly at the Void Traveler in the birdcage.

What answered Angel was still a tone of urgency, coupled with hopeless urging.

”It seems you’ve made up your mind not to respond.” Angel shrugged; since there was no response, it was fine to let it be.

After all, entering the Duling Garden back then was due to the Void Travelers, whether or not it was their intention, but thinking back now, it did leave a certain contentious feeling.

So, seeing it not respond, Angel couldn’t be bothered to continue his questioning.

Overlooking this minor incident, Angel no longer paid attention to the Void Traveler in the birdcage and instead focused his attention on the workbench to the side.

In this not-so-large dome, the place with the most complex energy was this silver-glimmering workbench.

The complexity of the energy wasn’t due to the silver workbench itself, but rather because of the bloody aura remaining on this workbench.

Clearly, Mr. Boiling conducted modifications on Void Creatures captured by the net on this workbench, which left an abundance of Void Creature blood aura lingering on the workbench. Void Creatures belonged to the Extraordinary Life category, whose blood naturally carried energy presence. Accumulating in large quantities, the energy here would inevitably become complex.

The silver workbench was an excellent workbench; considering that some Void Creatures’ blood had inherent terrifying efficacy, being able to withstand so much Transcendent blood without issues spoke volumes.

However, Angel’s attention wasn’t drawn by the workbench.

Instead, it was because of the metal sphere emitting a faint glow placed on the workbench.

Power furnace.

When Angel first saw the power furnace presented, he wanted to observe it up close, but he never had the chance. When Mr. Boiling left earlier without taking the power furnace, it left it on the workbench, giving Angel an opportunity.

Angel’s eyes gleamed with a faint glow, focusing all his mind on this seemingly ordinary metal sphere.

Upon closely observing the power furnace, Angel cleared up some previous doubts in his mind.

The gears and pipes on the power furnace were not mere decorations. They all had functions, with some gears and pipes interlinked, seemingly having a role in regulating energy output.

And those pipes, though seemingly small, were connected to the interior of the metal sphere.

Because Angel could distinctly feel the aura of the Origin of Chaos emanating from these pipes.

However, compared to the overwhelming madness exposed directly by the Origin of Chaos, once it was encased in the metal sphere, the intensity diminished significantly.

Nevertheless, it had not disappeared. If carefully sensed, one could still detect the mad aura emanating from the pipe openings.
