Chapter 273 - Beyond Legendary
Those pupils showed nothing more than insanity. A simple glimpse and Angor started to feel something crawling on his spine.
The sutured woman in heavy face powder grinned at Angor. She then laughed madly while swinging back and forth on her throne. Her black heart-shaped crown barely remained on her head.
Angor felt something similar to when he met the Glutton Flower Lord. He could sense complex emotion from the woman. Except that this time, he could not tell a word of it, as if a child who only learned single characters could not read words.
Still, he could comprehend the terrible madness coming from the woman… as well as unending killing intent.
“She cannot get out!” Angor thought.
Sunders ordered him exactly the same thing, “Think of something to end the Nightmare Domain!”
Sunders felt his heart growing a little cold when he looked at the rainbow dragonflies. In the view of wizards, those previous teacups were something as strong as level-2 apprentices, while these dragonflies were almost at a wizard’s level. And there were at least a hundred dragonflies out there! If they did something together, even a real wizard would not guarantee a victory.
“Enough! Let’s deal with these dragonflies first. Are they invulnerable to our attacks like those teacups?” Twilight barged in.
A Twilight Guard cast a cantrip at a dragonfly who was resting on a wall lamp.
And he was quite surprised to see his attack making a small hole on the insect’s wing.
It worked?!
The guard turned to Twilight to report, only to get knocked aside by Twilight’s spirit feeler.
Kaboom!
A small crater appeared where he was standing a second ago. People could see elements flowing around the dragonfly.
“Stay focused! These things are at least level-3 apprentices at their best conditions, if not wizards already!” Twilight demanded.
Now that they knew the insects could be hurt, Twilight immediately ordered her guards to work together and get rid of the creatures.
With the help of wizards, the number of dragonflies was halved within several minutes. When they tried to keep going, they saw the insects changing colors and… vanished from their sights.
Someone used Remove Delirium, which failed to catch the whereabouts of the dragonflies. Another area-of-effect spell managed to bring out several more corpses, which meant the creatures were still inside the hall.
Moreover, they noticed that the dragonflies did not attack people unless they were triggered first, so the situation was not really dire.
Shifting mana ripples suddenly emerged from the mist.
Flora quickly noticed it. “This is… professor?”
As she expected, Sunders stepped out from the mist while casting something on his own. The man was also taking out strange items from his ear nail which looked like glass sharps. He would drop one of them on the floor every several steps.
“Mister Sunders?”
“So he’s here because his student is getting killed?”
People started whispering.
“Why did you come, professor?” Flora floated to him. “And why is a Nightmare Domain here? Angor did this?”
“It’s complicated. We’ll talk later,” said Sunders as he gave her a serious look. “Get ready to fight. If Angor fails to shut off the nightmare passage, we’ll have to force ourselves inside a plane passageway and escape.”
“It’s THAT bad now?”
Sunders lowered his voice so only Flora could hear him.
“Yes. Something many levels stronger than a legendary is waiting behind the domain barrier.”
