Warlock Apprentice

Saka soon entered their view when his name was mentioned.

His usual malevolent expression had gone. Saka walked inside with a bright smile.

Ness raised an eyebrow at the unusual display of his student.

What’s the deal? He’s looking for love too? Maybe I should give this succubus woman to him to vent out his desire?

When looking at Saka, Ness noticed that someone else was behind Sunders.

It was a young man with a charmingly handsome look which was amplified by his healthy blond hair and blue pupils. Although Ness was more concerned about the boy’s clothes. He was wearing a black, slim gentleman suit, properly buttoned to the third button in front of his chest. His collar revealed the white linings inside and a wine-red checkered bow-tie.

Such a dressing style was not anything special anywhere else, but it looked really interesting when the boy was placed together with Sunders.

He already memorized everything written in Sunders’ notebook, and nothing in the book explained his question.

Angor wished to ask. However, he decided not to when he saw Sunders in a heated discussion with Ness over some kind of formula.

Some minutes later, Sunders came and extracted something from Angor’s blood. He then went back to speak with Ness again.

Angor kept observing the illusion which was simple on the outside, yet difficult to comprehend in many aspects.

If not for the situation, Angor really wished he could try the illusion out himself.

While checking the illusion, Angor also noticed that Saka kept staring at one direction with an affectionate look, as if someone in the illusion really interested him.

From what was seen, Sunders’ illusion had to have given Saka an idea that they were still close to each other in the cave. Considering how Saka had been well-behaving, the illusion probably told him that Ness was still nearby.

So… Saka could see himself, Angor, Sunders and Ness in the illusion… while Saka was staring at someone in an enthusiastic manner. There was no way Saka would look at Sunders or Ness in that way, which meant…

Angor felt a chill on his back.

Saka is staring at ME?

So, did Saka figure out who I am?

“Baron Milk” defeated Saka on the stage. As Angor remembered, when Silvia’s soul spells failed to work, Saka’s previously frenzied expression suddenly turned gentle for some reason.

And he kept mentioning some “precious star” at Baron Milk.

Saka’s current expression was exactly how he looked like on the arena… and it gave Angor goosebumps.

Angor was sure that Saka was not interested in “Baron Milk” since he was fully covered under the robe.

Saka had to have been attracted by his soul.

Angor felt he would never sleep well again when someone was drooling over his soul. That was why he stayed outside Sky Tower during that day so he could find a chance to get rid of this madman. However, he only ran into Chloe Brothers in the end.

Saka’s reaction in the illusion proved Angor’s idea.

This pervert really recognized him.

And this was bad…

Angor even thought about getting rid of Saka right here, when that guy was still trapped in the illusion.

But he could not possibly do this while Ness was still around.

Also, Angor was worrying about whether killing Saka meant the end of it. Saka was a Soul Manipulator after all.

To Soul Manipulators, “Death is only the beginning of all”.

Killing Saka might bring even more troubles. With this in mind, Angor decided to put the matter aside for now.

Besides, Saka was still not on the top of his “enemy list”. The one Angor would kill at all cost now was Hookdick.

Hookdick was also a Soul Manipulator, but that man only joined Brute Cavern half a year ago. Considering how common apprentices usually progressed, Hookdick should only know some basic spells at the moment. Killing his body would end everything.

Angor was not really sure though. As he heard, Hookdick had gone to receive some sort of “soul soil baptism”. Maybe Hookdick could earn something really good from it.

To make sure, Angor decided to go to Cloud Library and look into soul-related spells upon finishing his tower challenges.

…

After making up his mind of disregarding Saka for the moment, Angor began to observe the illusion again.

Several hours later, Ness stood up from his seat.

“Good. I’ve worked out a perfect soul-separation experiment plan according to the data of Angor’s body! Now we only have to get to it!”
