Warlock Apprentice

Chapter 2331: Chapter 2332: Instigation

Wilderness of Dreams, New City, Rosewater Pavilion.

”Using Simulated Mirror to enhance the effects of Illusion Technique falls within the scope of Basic Illusion Technique,” Sanders paused, ”However, the ability you spoke of regarding Mirror Grudge involves some aspects of Spatial Abilities, and spatial combined with illusion technique is quite rare.”

”After all, the existence that simultaneously possesses spatial and illusion abilities is exceedingly rare.”

As Sanders spoke, his eyes flickered, and he lowered his gaze, lifting a cup of cold-brewed black tea from the table, elegantly taking a small sip.

”Indeed, even among Mirror Grudges, those possessing such special mirror space abilities are quite rare, let alone humans,” Angel couldn’t help but echo with feeling.

”That being said, I do think you could try practicing similar illusion techniques. Or, by observing the abilities of Mirror Grudge, you might simulate a similar mirror space,” Sanders said softly.

”Me? Can I do it?” Angel was a bit unsure of himself.

The Illusion Series and Space Series are entirely different categories; wanting to practice them requires cross-system learning of spatial abilities.

This is quite difficult.

Typically, cross-system practice involves the Mysterious Side and Elemental Side or Bloodline Side, which, although slightly challenging, are related to oneself, so the path to practice is somewhat traceable.

But cross-system practice within the Mysterious Side, especially between two unrelated systems, is very challenging.

Because the Mysterious Side depends on personal talent. Without the talent, forcing oneself to practice often results in minimal success.

Both illusion and space are incredibly complex disciplines, highly reliant on talent, especially for the Space Series, where the entry threshold is astronomically high without relevant talent.

That’s why Angel felt a bit unsure when Sanders suggested he practice similar abilities.

”It’s rare to encounter a Mirror Grudge with such abilities; it’s worth a try,” Sanders said, ”Who knows, maybe you’ll have ’good luck.’”

Angel looked at Sanders, feeling there was more to his words, yet he couldn’t decipher it.

”Does the mentor mean I have a chance to learn?”

Sanders: ”Everyone has a chance; it’s just that the likelihood of success varies. I have high hopes for you, considering you already have a space sorcery, right?”

Angel suddenly understood that Sanders’s earlier words implied The Gate of Void.

Angel managed to fix The Gate of Void in the Witchcraft Slot, which showcased his aptitude for learning spatial abilities in the eyes of other wizards.

Yet only Angel knew The Gate of Void wasn’t his own achievement.

However, he couldn’t disclose the Eye of the Sky and that Strange Space, so he could only reply:

”I’ll do my best to give it a try.”

He was already curious about the abilities of Mirror Grudge. He didn’t let Tullas devour Mirror Grudge immediately for that reason. If he could actually simulate the abilities of Mirror Grudge, Angel was willing to give it a shot.

This ability, when properly applied, can be quite indefensible.

”Then I’ll look forward to it, hoping you can bring me some surprises,” Sanders finished his words, took a sip of tea, and after savoring for a few seconds, praised, ”This black tea tastes quite nice.”

In front of Angel was also a cup of tea, specially prepared milk tea.

Although he smelled a faint aroma of milk, he hadn’t touched it yet. Hearing Sanders’s praise, he then took the tea cup and drank it all at once.

Feeling the aftertaste in his mouth, Angel couldn’t help but nod and say, ”The taste is indeed very good.”

Most importantly, after drinking, Angel inexplicably felt his mood lightened a bit. It was as if he perceived the inner emotions of the tea maker, experiencing relaxation and joy.

As Angel savored the taste, a waiter in his thirties, wearing a black uniform, approached: ”Mr. Pat, would you like another cup?”

The speaker was Asaz.

The same ”Devil Gourmet” who made a striking impression at the New Star Tournament, targeted by Greya for sacrificing to demons. Although Asaz himself was innocent, Greya wary of the potential future ensnarement by demons, took Asaz under her wing for gradual tutelage.

Upon entering the Wilderness of Dreams today, Angel was surprised to encounter Asaz at the Rosewater Pavilion.

Their tea was prepared by Asaz.

Angel wanted to say ”no,” but the milk tea was truly delicious, so he finally uttered a ”hmm.”

As Asaz brewed new tea, Angel noticed a faint smile continually gracing Asaz’s lips.

Recalling the lightened mood after drinking tea, Angel curiously asked, ”You seem to be in a good mood?”

Asaz nodded: ”Yes, sir.”

”Did something good happen? Is it because Greya is preparing to let you go?”

Asaz quickly shook his head: ”Lady Greya treats me very well; I’ve never thought about leaving, nor would I find joy in leaving.”

Pausing a moment, Asaz continued to brew new milk tea as he spoke: ”My good mood is from enjoying over twenty hours of peace... I really like it here.”

”You’re saying, that demon hasn’t disturbed you?” Angel referred to the demon Asaz had sacrificed to.

Asaz nodded: ”In the past, Sebastian’s voice would appear in my mind at intervals, saying things that troubled me. He’d even probe my mind when I was asleep.”

”For example, last time...”

Once Asaz started talking, it was as if he couldn’t close his mouth, babbling on endlessly.

”But ever since I came here, I haven’t heard Sebastian’s voice anymore, and he can’t probe my consciousness, let alone eavesdrop on my heart’s voice.”

”So, for me, this place is simply wonderful.”

”Sebastian is really too naggy.”

Angel silently watched Asaz, wondering if he might have mixed it up. Are you sure it’s Sebastian who’s naggy and not you?

After Asaz finished speaking on his own, he noticed Angel’s strange stare, finally reacting to what he had said. A bit embarrassed, he replied, ”I... I seem to have talked too much.”

Feeling a bit shy, Asaz placed the freshly brewed milk tea in front of Angel, bowed to Angel and Sanders, and quickly returned to his spot at the bar.

Only after Asaz had moved away did Angel speak: ”Asaz seems to be getting along well with that devil gentleman.”

Sanders raised an eyebrow: ”Probably only you would think that.”

”What I meant by ’getting along well’ was not emotionally. At least it’s harmonious, right?” Then Angel shifted the topic slightly: ”Speaking of which, it’s surprising that Asaz managed to apply for a Log-in Device. Did Lianna approve it for him?”

It should be noted that, currently, even members within the Barbarian Cave don’t have enough Log-in Devices. Angel is somewhat surprised that Asaz managed to get one.

”He’s using Greya’s Log-in Device.”

”Huh? Greya hasn’t logged in?”

Angel remembered that Greya went to the Dream Plant Fairy’s domain to ask for a Golden Apple. So why would she suddenly hand over her Log-in Device to Asaz?

Angel pondered for a moment and used God’s View to look around the mother tree, surprisingly finding that the leader-level Treant who bore the Golden Apple had barren branches; the golden, glittering fruit that used to hang on the high branch was gone.

Could it be that Greya managed to get the Golden Apple?

It’s important to know that the Golden Apple is also very significant to the Treants.

And given Greya’s strength in the Wilderness of Dreams, she definitely couldn’t deal with the Treants.

If Greya didn’t use force to obtain it, then what method did she use? Could it be that the Treants really mistook Greya for a Treant due to her transformation after being poisoned, and gave it to her?

Curious, Angel infused his consciousness into the mother tree to investigate thoroughly.

After discovering the truth, Angel’s expression was slightly strange.

Greya actually used the protective coloration concocted from poisonous mushrooms to deceive a Treant and snag a Golden Apple. After getting the Golden Apple, Greya immediately returned to New City, hid the Golden Apple, and hurried offline, never logging in again.

Looks like Greya is worried about her deceit being uncovered and the Treants coming after her.

No wonder Greya hasn’t logged in recently and handed over the Log-in Device to Asaz. She’s likely hiding from the Treants.

Greya’s maneuver was quite adept... It seems she might have done similar things elsewhere, possibly to procure ingredients.

However, Greya worried too much; the Treants haven’t pursued her and even think that Greya is angry with them, leading to self-reproach.

It must be said that Treants, without the experience of deceit and complex human emotions, are quite simple-minded.

”What are you thinking about?” Sanders is puzzled seeing Angel silent for so long.

Angel snapped out of it and shook his head: ”Nothing, just wondering why Greya isn’t logging in suddenly.”

Sanders doesn’t know the reason inside and can only speculate silently. Perhaps Greya’s physical body is having issues? After all, her current body isn’t her original one, often having incompatibility problems, which might lead to potential collapse if it continues.

Sanders doesn’t hope for Greya’s body to truly collapse. Thus, searching for her body needs to be expedited.

Without dwelling on Greya’s matter, Sanders returned the conversation to the main topic: ”Since Tullas doesn’t need to swallow the Mirror Grudge for now, what are you planning to do next? Any thoughts?”

Angel: ”Is there anywhere in the Tidal World where I’m needed?”

Sanders thought for a moment: ”Not at the moment.”

”Then I plan to stay on Revelation Continent for now, as I want to research the underground altars, and the abundant death aura here is suitable for studying Mirror Grudge’s abilities.”

Angel always felt a bit odd about the altar in the Earth Cavern. Since there’s nothing much going on now, he wants to seize this chance to study it closely.

Sanders is aware of the altar matter; his old friend Nis is researching the stone tablet acquired from it.

”Is there any new clue regarding the Earth Cavern altar?”

Angel shook his head: ”Not currently, as it’s been over ten years, and time has erased most of the clues. My plan now is to inquire Dororo and see if he can prophesy anything.”

This time, Angel entered the Wilderness of Dreams not only to ask Sanders about the Mirror Grudge’s mirror space but also to find Dororo.

However, Dororo hasn’t logged in yet.

”Alright, if you need any help, feel free to contact me, or you can go to Nis.” Sanders said. He’s not particularly interested in the ancient altar, but since Nis delves into the stone tablet, he might have an interest in that altar.

”Okay.”
