Chapter 620 - Church
Douglas looked at Anglo, who had been awfully quiet till now.
“Doctor Anglo, didn’t you say that you may predict more information if someone shows up? Well, the student of Mister Phantom just provided a perfect chance.”
Anglo didn’t respond. It was “Ocean Moray” Heroline who spoke up while giggling, “Come on, you all believed it? So Rak’sel claimed that Angor came out, well bring him here then! How can the doctor do anything if he has not seen Angor yet?”
Rak’sel narrowed her eyes and gave Heroline a hateful look.
Douglas didn’t mind them. He was waiting for Anglo’s reply.
“Angor did show up from the boundary.” Anglo shook his head at Heroline and said, “I saw him from my Wizard Eye.”
Rak’sel’s eyes twinkled. “It was you who sneaked a Wizard Eye inside a tree? But it was you who told us to abandon the city. What, you’re getting interested too?”
“Interested? Do you mean the Mystery item? No. I’m simply curious about the dark realm itself, and a certain omen I saw earlier, which was powerful enough to disrupt the strings of this world.” Anglo adjusted his glasses, which glimmered in the candlelight. He then said to Douglas, “In fact, I performed ‘plucking’ as soon as I saw Angor, but the result did not change.”
“There’s something inside,” said Shan.
Angor listened quietly. “Yes. It’s another monster nest if I’m not mistaken.”
They all heard the familiar buzzing noise across the door. While Angor and Shan didn’t seem too concerned, Nausica’s face instantly went pale since she knew how terrifying these parasites were, because she had been watching them roaming around her when she was bound by the deadly strings.
“Don’t worry, I got you,” Angor whispered.
Nausica chuckled and spat out a smoke ring. “Never, ever did I think that I’d get reassured by a kid.”
Angor raised an eyebrow. That sounded weird in a sense.
Nausica quenched her pipe and moved ahead to open the door with a determined look. As expected, a glowing dragonfly nest was fixed in the center of the room.
They quickly looked up to see who was captured. Perhaps it was the victim they just heard.
Again, using Shan’s cantrip, they saw a man in a bloody and tattered robe hung in midair by the same golden strings that connected to the portal of a void.
Unlike the other victims like Nausica, in whose cases the dragonflies hid in the nest and only came out when they sensed someone coming, this man was constantly surrounded by the insects who would attack him every time he tried to move.
And it seemed the man managed to stay alive even though he had been enduring both the strings and the rainbow dragonflies, which were as powerful as top-level apprentices.
Guess he’s a wizard, Angor pondered in his mind.
The prisoner suddenly opened his eyes and looked at them.
“Who are you?”
