Chapter 659: Wither
What Angor realized from Sunders’ simple demonstration astounded him.
People usually used abstract concepts to express certain perceptions that they could not see with eyes. One such example was “cold”.
Cold was a vague concept that could be sensed but not observed directly, yet people already created the concept of cold to express this particular frigid sensation.
Angor knew from his experiments that the manifestation of Mystery could take on different solid forms like animals, people, random objects, or even natural elements like wind and snow. But he never thought it could become an unseen concept as well.
According to Sunders, the manifestation in the snowfield illusion was a concept named “Wither”. Angor now understood why he failed to find it. It was because he never knew where to look.
But how did Sunders “trigger” this concept? He wondered. Wait… Don’t tell me the professor just learned a new spell from it?
“Sir, about that energy you just used…” Angor pointed to the crescent necklace, agape.
Just like how Greya put her trust in Angor, Sunders would like to trust the boy as well. Something told him that Angor was someone who could help him challenge the rank of legendary, or even higher. He did not want to exploit Angor’s talent and ruin him.
Angor took a moment to tell Sunders what he learned from his experiments, such as how much time the manifestations could persist after being found out. There wasn’t much to say. As Sunders said, they needed “proper” tests later.
When this was done, Angor used the brief chance to ask a question, “How did you trigger the manifestation just now, sir?”
For visible objects, Angor could simply catch them to activate them. However, how did someone catch an abstract concept?
“Spirit power. Our spirit power is also a conceptual presence that is able to connect with other similar concepts,” said Sunders.
“I understand now. Since the ‘conceptual’ manifestation in the snowfield is ‘wither’, then what’s hidden on Mysterious Mountain?”
