Chapter 587 - Creativity
Angor had returned to The Tributary.
Even though he was allowed to remain at Phantom Island, in order to finish Greya’s requested illusion item before her arrival at Brute Cavern, Angor had to use his rented lab as it had better equipment compared to what Phantom Island could offer.
He had spent two days in his lab watching movies, but not doing alchemy.
Fusing illusions into items was a very complicated task to other alchemists, but not to Angor, who was both an alchemist and an illusionist.
He was simply trying to find out which illusion to present to Greya.
While in Dark Castle, Greya asked him to create an “illusionary Toby” that she could interact with. To do this, Angor recreated the experience from when he and Toby traveled to Twilight Town. He then put Greya into the first-person point of view as well as adding some elements of the Nightmare Realm into the illusion.
This time, however, Greya did not give him a “subject” to work on. Before leaving Floating Mech City, Greya told him to make a “creative” illusion and “put something that is Nightmare Realm-ish” in it.
Angor wondered what else could possibly happen and unfolded the paper.
The characters that were written on the paper suddenly became alive like tadpoles. They slowly left the surface of the paper and gathered in the air. The image of Sunders was soon projected in Angor’s lab room.
Telling from the background, Sunders created the message in his study.
“Angor. Do you remember a monster fox with a harp? It showed up again.”
…
Angor put away the message and hurried to leave The Tributary with Toby so that he could head to Phantom Island on his Gondola as fast as possible.
It seemed that “Fox the Harper” and “Froggy the Aria Singer” had returned after escaping from Midnight Sovereign a year ago. They had shown up at Sleepless City, which was part of the Evernight Kingdom, a place that Angor and Sunders visited not long ago.
And like always, they brought quite a disaster with them by coating the outer section of Sleepless City under impenetrable darkness. Apart from a group of wizards who managed to escape by forcing a plane passageway into existence, the other residents in the city were all trapped.
Last time, they turned Midnight Sovereign into a mist-covered, parasite-infested hell. Because Midnight Sovereign was mainly a city of mortals, and Twilight Well was an ordinary wizard market with only a few powerful wizards there at that time, the incident was never considered something too serious.
However, Sleepless City was a genuine wizard organization who owned a good number of influential wizards.
The monsters assaulted an organization under board daylight!
Angor didn’t really care about this matter—Fox and Froggy could do whatever they liked as long as they did not come and bother him.
Even right at this moment, he knew there was a “dragonfly nest” in Pocratee that might release all kinds of horror into Fairy World. And they were free to do so, for all he cared.
Unfortunately, things were a lot more complicated now. Sunders’ message just told him that Greya was among the trapped victims.
