Chapter 627 - To the Undercity
Angor had done retrieving his body and arranging his possessions, but Sunders had not let him go yet.
Since he had time, he decided to memorize what he observed inside Spotty’s “stomach” and see whether he could put the knowledge into his illusions.
Cycles of life, unknown paths that always led to destruction, conflicting yet amazingly congenial rules… Bit by bit, he gathered all the small elements in his mind.
When it was almost time, he reopened his eyes as the model for an illusion was swiftly made in his mindspace, facilitated by the axes of the universe.
This was one of the simplest illusions. He was confident that the illusion was well-made, and that the “senses of Mystery” he blended in the illusion would be presented right in front of eyes soon.
His eyes twinkled as his mana slowly constructed the basic shapes of something unknown.
A powerful spirit suddenly restrained him in place.
Toby saw Angor leaving and left Greya to join him.
Greya stopped Toby and handed him a one-use space capsule.
“Mana Flowers. You take care of Angor for now. He needs your backup.”
Toby bade farewell to his old master and returned to Angor’s shoulder.
While greeting his partner, Angor was wondering what Sunders planned to do next and whether it had something to do with the darkness.
“Don’t mind the crisis from now on. If anyone asks you about it, put all the blame on me,” Sunders said to him. “We’re heading to the undercity, where they imprisoned all the possessed apprentices. We’ll remove their parasites and leave the city.”
The “undercity” of Sleepless City was a place similar to the underground market in Brute Cavern, but one could only hear ghostly noises in there right now.
The entrances toward the undercity were all sealed up. Currently, there was only a dried-up water well that served as a temporary “dumping hole” where all newly possessed people would go.
The well was now the most guarded place in the entire Monsoon Sector. There was a team of powerful wizards stationed here.
After passing through several checkpoints, Sunders and Angor arrived at the well.
“Hey, Sunders, have you seen my students in the outer city?” Wallace suddenly showed up from somewhere and walked to them.
“You go first,” Sunders said to Angor.
Those who heard him talking all grew confused. Sunders would allow his student to go to the prisons where thousands of “possessed clowns” dwelt?
Angor did not have a problem with this. He nodded and jumped straight into the well without a second thought.
Before he completely fell into the darkness beneath, he managed to hear Sunders talking to Wallace.
“I did not see them.”
