Warlock Apprentice

Telling from how all the Mystery energy came from the strange droplets, Angor thought it was finally time for the Mystery item to show up.

He wasn’t expecting to see the animal here.

Precisely speaking, the “puppy” did not fully come into being yet. It was the water droplet that was slowly turning into the animal’s shape, while the gray droplet inside the water droplet represented the source of Mystery energy, which was now inside the dog.

“This is… a Mystery soul?!” Angor was shocked to feel something familiar yet again.

Is this dog actually the Mystery soul brought by Yorkshire, and all the Mystery energy I sensed came from it?

But on second look, Angor noticed that the dog appeared too different compared to the Mystery soul outside Dark Castle. When crafting Prelude to Rebirth, the soul that appeared in the sky above Dark Castle looked like a deadly devil straight out of hell, while this puppy… not so much.

However, the Mystery energy released by this spotted puppy felt deeper and massive.

Back at Dark Castle, the Mystery soul shaped like a devil only existed in the sky for a short period before it went into Angor’s revolver. He wondered if this dog was going to dive into something nearby. Or could a Mystery soul exist without a “container”?

The puppy nudged his ankle and interrupted his thoughts.

Angor looked down and saw the animal putting up that “rub my head, please!” expression again.

“You wanted to bring me to them?” Angor considered and asked Toby to take out a blood-stained stone he collected outside Brute Cavern’s office building. “Can you tell if someone related to this blood is here?”

The puppy took a sniff and barked at one edge of the crowd.

“Really?” Angor was at a complete loss now. Was this dog dumb or pretending to be dumb? Did it plan to take him to this place all along?

Whether Nausica was here or not, Angor decided to go look among these people since there were so many of them, which meant there was likely someone he knew.

As he approached the crowd, he once again felt it extremely strange that none of them were making any sound. No singing, no dancing.

Are they just here chilling then?

Angor stopped moving when he finally saw someone not far from him “dancing” by twisting his limbs and torso to weird angles.

Using the faint light provided by a street lamp nearby, he saw the dancer’s lips moving as this person praised their queen.

But he couldn’t hear anything. The entire area was deathly silent.

Speaking of street lamps…

There was a lamp right next to him, which was burning on the body oil extracted from a particular monster shark, which helped the lamp stay bright for several years without the need for extra care.

The light did not reach very far, but it did a decent job of repelling darkness in its surrounding area.

However, there was a small patch of shadow on the ground about two meters from his position. There was no other obstacle in sight, yet the light was blocked by something, something that could deflect the course of light yet was invisible to human eyes.
