Warlock Apprentice

Chapter 2092: Chapter 2093: Revealed

The incarnation of the Tree Spirit also followed, flying toward the center of the Star Pond. If it were just one or two isolated magical creatures, it would be fine, but if a large tide of magic emerged, he must immediately notify the wizards stationed in the Mirror World to come and ward them off, or else the consequences would be dire.

Including the Tree Spirit, everyone appeared above the central passage of the Star Pond.

However, after they all arrived, they were all stunned.

Because of the different space domains, although the specific situation under the light could not be seen clearly, a shadowy silhouette walking out could be vaguely seen.

Most importantly, this silhouette was in a human form.

”Why does it seem a bit like...” Wallace paused but didn’t continue.

”I feel the same way,” the Tree Spirit nodded in agreement at this time.

Hovering nearby, Nis looked at his old friend Sanders with a peculiar expression: ”Don’t you think this silhouette looks a bit familiar?”

A trace of doubt flashed in Sanders’ eyes, but he quickly calmed down: ”It’s Angel.”

When Sanders uttered this name, everyone fell silent. Although they all felt that the silhouette resembled Angel, after all, Angel had disguised his physique and appearance, so they did not dare to confirm.

But now Sanders confidently said Angel’s name, which instead made them somewhat astonished.

Is this really Angel?!

But wasn’t Angel trapped in the ruins? How come he has appeared now... or is it that this person is actually a magical creature pretending to be him, or perhaps some kind of illusion?

The suspicion in everyone’s eyes was evident, and Sanders didn’t explain either, because he also couldn’t be sure if the one inside was really Angel, but judging by the physique, it was undoubtedly Angel.

Instead, Lord Rhein said, lightly: ”We’ll know once he comes out.”

As the words fell, the light in the passage grew brighter.

At this moment, everyone fell silent, quietly watching the light before them.

When the light reached its peak, the spots of light began to fall away, and soon all the light disappeared, leaving a young man with slightly wrinkled clothes and a lazy appearance with red hair and golden eyes in place.

The red-haired young man seemed somewhat surprised as well, seeing so many people gathered outside. He looked around, pausing slightly on Sanders.

Seeing no one speaking, the red-haired young man coughed lightly: ”Hello, I am... Jagger.”

As he spoke, the tension in Sanders’ expression softened, and a slight smile curved his lips: ”Alright, stop using an alias; everyone already knows you are Angel.”

Angel, the red-haired young man, naturally knew that others had long recognized his identity, and he only casually gave a name because he felt the atmosphere was slightly heavy and thought it would be better to lighten up a bit.

”Are you really Angel?” Nis stepped forward at this moment, carefully examining Angel.

Angel thought for a moment and decided there was no need to hide anymore, so he lifted the Shapeshifting Technique, reverting to his blonde appearance.

With the restoration of his original appearance, Angel’s aura also changed from lazy and unrestrained to elegant and serene.

”It really is you!” Nis looked Angel up and down: ”It’s not illusion technique, but shapeshifting technique? Did you graft the transforming soft-bodied insect’s skin? You really cultivated it?”

Before Nis could finish his questions, he was pulled aside by a strong force.

The Tree Spirit, slightly annoyed, said: ”These trivial matters can be asked later.”

After Nis was forbidden from asking questions, Rhein stepped forward. He did not speak immediately but gave Angel a solemn gaze from head to toe.

Angel also put away his relaxed expression, as he could vaguely feel that Rhein’s gaze seemed to penetrate his body, probing into the unfathomable Land of the Soul.

Although this feeling made Angel subconsciously reject it, he didn’t deliberately restrain himself because he understood what Rhein was doing.

Unusual detection.

Many powerful wizards had fallen in the ruins, losing contact, yet just after he advanced to an official wizard, he managed to come out smoothly. If Angel were in Rhein’s position, he would probably be suspicious as well. So, Angel did not feel offended by Rhein’s use of detection techniques on him.

Moments later, Rhein’s gaze became slightly gentler.

Although there were some oddities about Angel, such as the bracelet and a few mushrooms on the heel which gave Rhein a strange feeling, these mushrooms were ultimately just accessories, and Angel himself had not been tainted by any corruption.

Rhein smiled slightly and said, ”Since you’re already out, it saves me a lot of trouble. I don’t need to go in specifically to find you.”

Hearing Rhein say this, Angel gained an understanding; it turned out everyone was gathered here because Rhein was planning to enter the ruins.

Angel felt a slight sense of relief in his heart, grateful that Rhein hadn’t yet managed to enter. Even though Rhein’s strength was formidable, he might still fall short against Minister Nuka, let alone that the ruins were no longer merely ruins but had become a vast half-plane. As the controller of the half-plane, Minister Nuka would become even more powerful.

If Rhein entered, he would certainly not fare well.

As Angel’s heart secretly rejoiced, Rhein also noticed a hint of emotion in his eyes.

Although Rhein hadn’t used mind-reading techniques, he could still read some emotions from Angel’s eyes: ”The situation in the ruins is quite serious, with very powerful magical creatures?”

Angel nodded solemnly, ”Yes.”

Angel’s words shifted the initially relaxed mood following his escape to one of tension among those present.

”Could it be that the previous rumors were true, that a minister has indeed descended?” Sanders’ voice was heard from the side.

Angel nodded again, ”Yes, a minister has indeed descended, and it is a very powerful... minister.”

Angel did not mention Nuka’s name because such secret information, even if it needed to be disclosed, couldn’t be spoken about in such a public setting. It’s not that the individuals present weren’t trustworthy, but the abilities of wizards were astonishing; even if there were no outsiders now, it could be discovered by outsiders in the future.

Rhein understood Angel’s concerns as well, ”Let’s set aside these topics for now and discuss them later. Let’s return first.”

The Star Pond ruins, after all, were not safe, and Angel’s value was incomparable. It was best to leave this place first.

Angel nodded, bowing to Wallace and the Ironclad Granny before walking toward Sanders.

Rhein looked at the Tree Spirit: ”You should go back with Sanders and Angel first; I will come find you later.”

Initially, Rhein planned to leave as well, but Angel’s earlier words about the ”minister truly descending” made Rhein feel a strong sense of urgency. The wall of light must be reinforced, and if it came to the worst, this space may need to be severed.

These were Rhein’s reasons for staying behind.
