Warlock Apprentice

Chapter 2462: Chapter 2463: Obtaining Intelligence

Angel’s eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze not lingering on other things, still keenly fixed on the mysterious fruit in the distance.

From the mysterious resonance emanating from around Angel, it was clear that he was still immersed in his thoughts and had not yet awakened.

However, although Angel had not regained his senses, the current situation was closely related to him.

The Observer was well aware of his own abilities. At 97% progress, it was already difficult for him to ward it off. If the increase doubled next, he could barely manage it. But at 98%, the sudden double increase was an unbearable burden for him.

Under such terrifying attraction, the Observer had even prepared for the worst.

According to his plan, he should end up as desolate as Polo Ye was currently.

But unexpectedly, just as the Observer’s balance was being destroyed by the sudden spike in attraction, about to lose control, a faint green light flashed before his eyes.

Following that, the almost maddening attraction began to recede from around him like ebbing tidewaters.

Without a doubt, it was the green light—Angel’s Domain Field—that saved him.

The green patterned Domain Field had been there all along, enveloping both him and Angel. However, its previous effectiveness was not ideal, far from being able to resist as his Twisted Realm could, at most sharing and weakening some of the attraction.

The Observer didn’t know what Angel had done, or why the Domain Field could suddenly withstand it, reducing the wild attraction to an almost vanished state.

The Observer intended to ask Angel about it, but Angel was still deeply immersed; apparently, the chaotic birth had a significant impact on Angel, this was his unique opportunity. The Observer couldn’t disrupt Angel’s opportunity, so he could only suppress his doubts.

However, when Polo Ye approached, the Observer felt restless.

He could see Polo Ye’s intention, but under current circumstances, it was beyond his decision. The main force weakening the attraction was Angel; truly accepting Polo Ye required Angel’s consent. Yet Angel had not awakened, and the Observer could not make decisions for him.

While it seemed almost unimaginable for a Legendary Wizard to adhere to the demands of an Official Wizard like Angel, under the clauses of ”compensatory exchange,” it was reasonable for the Observer to act this way. After all, he was currently under Angel’s ”protection.”

The closer Polo Ye got, the more hesitant the Observer felt. He kept glancing at Angel, torn between awakening Angel or taking action to refuse Polo Ye.

Under normal circumstances, waking Angel would be more appropriate, as it didn’t violate the Observer’s oath. However, taking action against Polo Ye’s approach would break the restriction of not taking initiative, violating the oath’s terms.

Yet, waking Angel... this involved the mysterious opportunity; waking him could sever his path and might even invite resentment.

The Observer sighed, thinking it might be better to refuse Polo Ye after all.

Breaking the oath is what it is; he wondered if there might be other ways to compensate.

The Observer had made a decision, but unexpected circumstances halted his action—

The green patterned Domain Field suddenly began to extend.

Initially, the green patterned Domain Field only enveloped Angel and the Observer, but now its range began to grow, and the direction of its diffusion... was precisely toward the approaching Polo Ye.

”Are you agreeing to Polo Ye’s approach?” the Observer murmured softly, but received no response.

The Observer wasn’t sure if Angel was immersed or had awakened at this point.

Since there was no answer from Angel, he could only look back at the green patterned Domain Field.

The extension of the Domain Field was not unlimited; it stopped expanding after reaching a certain extent.

The Observer made a quick calculation and discovered that the Domain Field’s expanded range was just enough to accommodate Polo Ye’s current size.

At this point, the Observer realized this was intentional on Angel’s part; he did not reject Polo Ye’s approach.

Since Angel expressed this intention, the Observer naturally wouldn’t obstruct him, which allowed him not to break the oath. However, there was a slight peculiar feeling in the Observer’s heart.

Has Angel awoken?

The Observer had previously reminded Angel that Polo Ye and the Phantom Spirit City behind it were not easy to deal with; it was best to stay away from them. If Angel took that advice, why would he actively take on this trouble?

Previously, Angel didn’t show much inclination to rescue others among the Wizards, yet now he was actively showing goodwill towards Polo Ye, which contradicted the Observer’s assessment of Angel.

Although the Observer still felt strangely unbelievable inside, he didn’t show it. He even extended his Twisted Realm along with the Domain Field’s extension.

This was the Observer actively endorsing Angel’s Domain Field.

Soon, Polo Ye rushed to the Observer’s side.

Polo Ye was actually hesitating, wondering if the Observer would help him. But considering the Observer’s role, even if he didn’t help, he probably wouldn’t strike. Polo Ye only needed to approach the Observer and graze against his twisted law; surely, he wouldn’t be driven away, right?

When Polo Ye rammed into the Twisted Realm and didn’t sense any repulsion, he realized he had bet correctly.

...

Couldn’t sense a strong attraction?

After entering the Twisted Realm, Polo Ye immediately noticed the surprisingly low attraction around him. His eyes flashed with unexpected surprise; seeing the Observer’s relaxed demeanor earlier, the real situation turned out to be easier than he had imagined.

The terrifying attraction outside, within the Twisted Realm, had penetrated so little?

”I didn’t expect the Inspector’s twisted laws to reach such a level.” Polo Ye looked at the Inspector: ”Could it be that the Inspector has already entered the stage of law transformation? Shuro?”

The law transformation stage is a hallmark of the late legend. Similarly, it is also a prerequisite for creating miracles.

”It’s none of your business. Also, you’d better keep quiet, otherwise I don’t mind throwing you out.” The Inspector glanced coldly at Polo Ye, his tone unfriendly.

Polo Ye opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but hiding under the eaves of the Inspector’s house, he did not dare to act presumptuously.

”Shuro... I’m not saying anything else, but can I at least thank you?”

”No need, shut up.”

”Shuro, Shuro, it’s not that I’m ungrateful, it’s because you told me to shut up.” Polo Ye muttered, no longer approaching the Inspector, but went to the side, releasing those three Wizards he had wrapped up earlier, along with Number 01.

Yes, these individuals were not dead. It wasn’t because Polo Ye was merciful, but because he had forgotten about dragging these people along when charging towards the Inspector.

These Wizards, after entering the twisted domain, were drawn by the thoughts dominated by attraction, finally regaining their normal state.

They were calculating something internally when Polo Ye remembered them.

Polo Ye didn’t say anything to them; he simply extended his three tentacles, inserting them into their brains from above their heads.

He wasn’t trying to kill them, at least not currently. The reason for placing the tentacles inside their heads was to ask them about some things.

Regarding... Angel.

In front of the Inspector, he couldn’t speak aloud; he could only resort to this covert method. Even though it was strange to use such a method at this moment, as long as the Inspector didn’t focus on Angel, everything would be fine.

This was indeed the convenience of timing and circumstances; if it were outside, under the menace of attraction, he definitely wouldn’t have had the chance to inquire; but under the ”protection” of the Inspector, he had some leisure.

Initially, questioning didn’t lead to any progress; all three claimed they didn’t recognize the person beside the Inspector. Finally, when Polo Ye projected Angel’s true form into their minds, there was a reaction.

Moments later.

”Angel, the prodigy Alchemist, a member of the Research and Development Institute.” Polo Ye silently recounted the inquiry results: ”The reason for entering the institute was due to previous contact with mysterious levels.”

Angel’s various experiences, at least those known to the public, were all investigated by Polo Ye.

Upon seeing this, Polo Ye was more determined to capture Angel.

A prodigy Alchemist who had previously contacted mysterious levels, and now once again experiencing mysterious resonance, as long as Angel doesn’t fall halfway, there will be almost no obstacles on his future path; he will undoubtedly enter the mysterious domain.

If such a person can stay in the Phantom Spirit City, it would certainly be beneficial.

Although Polo Ye had already decided to capture Angel, he did not show it openly and continued to feign indifference.

He didn’t look towards Angel but started other activities.

Within the minds of these three, Polo Ye noticed something else.

A witch named ”Diluni,” upon entering the twisted domain, sensed her regained sanity and immediately made a decision.

The attraction was too terrifying; no matter the method, she wanted to leave.

Without hesitation, Diluni emulated the previous Bai Yu Witch, burning her Psychic Model while forcibly attempting to break through space and open a Plane Corridor to escape to the Void.

However, to Diluni’s surprise, she couldn’t open the door to the Void. It seemed some force was suppressing her departure.

Having learned from earlier deaths, Diluni made a decision not to delay. Since she couldn’t open the Void Door, she resolved to self-destruct.

The soul tide still covered the Southern Domain’s sky; as long as she managed Astral Projection, she would have a chance to enter the Quest World.

Even existing in a soul form, she didn’t want to simply vanish.

Nevertheless, before Diluni could successfully self-destruct, Polo Ye’s tentacles pierced into her mind, stopping her actions.

To Polo Ye, Diluni’s self-destruction mattered not. What concerned him was her previous action—unable to open the Plane Corridor?

With no restriction from the attraction now, shouldn’t the Void Door be openable? Or was Diluni’s own power too weak to break through the twisted domain?

Polo Ye pondered momentarily, deciding to test it himself.

Opening the Plane Corridor had many benefits, at the very least providing a continual retreat.

Moreover, the danger of this disordered object is increasing; staying here might not be wise.

Given Polo Ye’s current situation, he could entirely abandon the disordered object and leave.

As for Angel... it doesn’t matter; he already has Angel’s information, and as long as Angel remains in the Southern Domain, there will be opportunities to catch him.

With such thoughts, Polo Ye extended two tentacles, preparing to open the Plane Corridor.
