Chapter 523 - Potion of Impedance
The others all closed their eyes to check. And when they reopened their eyes, none of them looked too happy.
As Angor said, instead of disappearing due to the absence of a caster, the number of illusion nodes was increasing quickly as if they went out of control.
“Luna said Erdus is dead for sure.” Keely frowned as she asked, “So why is this happening?”
“One explanation… the heart is not the core of the illusions. There’s something else, something independent, which gave birth to the illusions,” Angor explained while wearing a tight frown. If his assumption was correct, the illusion would become a lot harder to deal with.
“We must find the source of it if we want to get out, or we’ll be trapped in here forever,” Keely spoke in a low and cold voice that caused everyone to shiver.
Then they all looked at Angor again. Angor was the only illusionist in the group, and the only one adept at breaking illusions.
“Let me try,” Angor said even though he didn’t know whether he could. He only knew that he was their best shot.
A series of light beams emerged from the sphere and sank into Angor’s forehead.
Angor remained still and embraced the strange experience.
The light beams slowly moved closer until they became one single string that connected with Angor’s brain.
He felt relaxed and comfortable as if he were sunbathing at a resort beach.
Beside him was a small sea mussel. He saw memories. Erdus’ memories, which told him how the small mussel grew into a gigantic miracle.
From its birth, all the way to the end, Angor saw Erdus’ entire life.
The ordinary sea mussel lived a carefree life for a hundred years until a Duon showed up and changed everything. It was the same Duon that Angor saw inside the strange image when the final countdown was started.
Together, they created the first Duon civilization, and from there, they established a legendary story that greatly attracted Angor’s curiosity.
But a disaster came upon the Duons a thousand years ago. Someone from Floating Mech City imprisoned the Duons and threw them into a foreign world, the Garden of Purification.
The forefather of the Duons was forced into an ice coffin while Erdus was imprisoned in a similar way.
The remaining Duons saw these intruders as their “gods”.
And from that day, they no longer had a future.
