Chapter 671 - Spell Creation
Rein gave Angor a cold glimpse when he recalled the recent rumors he heard.
“You are Angor?”
Just like the man’s power, Rein’s voice was something that could force people to quiet down.
Not knowing Rein’s purpose did not prevent Angor from showing his manners. “I am, sir.”
Rein briefly inspected Angor up and down and said something to Sunders using eye language.
You found a very nice student.
Sunders returned a mild smile.
I was lucky.
These creatures looked like glowing green balls of different sizes. Some were as little as human fists, while others were like small hills. Their “skin” appeared glossy and smooth, while each one had a pair of black, beady eyes.
They reminded Angor of a monster called “slime”, but compared to the puddles of filth described in stories, these ones looked rather cute.
The green balls bounced into formation and made a circle around the mansion area. Any fire that reached them simply fizzed into white mist and vanished into the air. Also, the lightning strikes coming down couldn’t hurt these things either, which shocked Angor greatly.
Are they monsters or a spell?
Sunders chuckled at Angor’s obvious curiosity. “I asked you to manage Phantom Island for some time, but you never bothered to learn what was around the island? What you are seeing now is an amalgamated phantom beast called ‘Pokoly’. They are immune to energy-based attacks that are below the wizard level. There’s a section beneath the ground specially designed to house these creatures.”
Angor grew a little embarrassed—he could have asked Goode about the basic layout of Phantom Island, but he never did.
Rein heard their conversation and stopped recalling old memories. His expression turned plain and unemotional again.
“Sunders, when you created your spell, ‘Nightmare Substitute’, the omen you caused was not so serious, am I right?”
Sunders nodded. “Yes. The area covered by the omen was smaller, and I never attracted the world’s consciousness to me.”
Rein grinned. “That’s Greya for you… Her last spell was quite a sight to behold, and here she is again. But if my memory serves me right, this omen is slightly weaker compared to her last one.”
“Greya earned an extremely high starting point as a truth-finder wizard by creating ‘Artificial Life’, which defied many rules of nature. It’s almost impossible to surpass that feat.”
“You’re right. A higher start, a harder path forward,” Rein said as he gazed at Sunders. “So, do you think Greya continued her way of creation or did she go after a new path?”
