Chapter 553 - Unknown Projection
Sunders left Angor’s side to check the cottage. He was very curious about this strange house since he had never seen it during his previous explorations in Witch’s Town.
Left alone, Angor sat on his bed to think over Sunders’ words.
“That man is Angor, a projection of him in the Nightmare Realm…”
While mumbling the word “projection”, Angor did not think about himself, but another man with short, green hair, a handsome face, a slim-build dressed in a gentleman suit…
Younger Sunders.
Back at Nether City, the strange properties of the Nightmare Realm perfectly recreated Sunders in his early years, including a family dagger used by the younger Sunders, which Angor even took back to reality.
Angor thought it completely possible to find his own projection somewhere.
“The reality is projected into imaginary and gives birth to the truth… I guess humans can also get ‘copied’?”
Is this painting perhaps created by him?
If that were the case, Sunders would not be able to destroy the painting at all. He might have to temporarily seal it and wait for another solution.
Once he did so, he went to the other parts of Witch’s Town and collected some items. Even though Angor failed to take the magic scrolls here, Sunders still wanted to find out what the boy could bring back.
Sunders looted a lot of things this time, from the most common necessities to wizardry items of different types. He wanted to cover all possible selections in order to ascertain Angor’s “carry limit”.
For this reason, it took Sunders an entire day to move around the Witch’s Town even though it wasn’t a big place, especially without the mist blocking their views.
Sunders returned and realized his student brought him yet another surprise.
He saw Angor collapsed on the bed with an ill expression.
Sunders immediately noticed that Angor’s soul wasn’t in good condition. It appeared that Angor somehow exhausted his soul energy again.
But what could possibly happen in his room?
Next, Sunders glanced at an object beside Angor’s position.
It was a scroll, the “Aster Barrier” he gave Angor before entering the Nightmare Realm.
Delighted, Sunders move ahead and picked it up. Both the glowing runes on the scroll and the solid touch on his hand suggested that the scroll was ready to be used.
What happened just now? All of Angor’s scrolls were fake phantoms when I checked on them earlier…
