Warlock Apprentice

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Angor could trick the senses of something weaker than him, but the near-wizard-level beings among the schools of fish, such as the Ignis Medusozoa, would merely shrug off his attempts.

However, he didn’t need to trick every single fish with his illusion. Just like how he dealt with the first encounter after entering the purification garden, all he needed was to cause a small ruckus among the fishes, and they would start a fight among themselves.

Once there were enough victims inside his illusion, he quickly felt like he was in control of everything. Soon, he unleashed a unique power that began to change the minds of the fishes.

A moment later.

As he expected, only one out of every ten fishes was affected by his trick; all of which were the weaker ones in the group.

He was quite surprised to see the mightiest being of all—the Lord of Tentacles—showed a brief moment of confusion inside his illusion.

The condition only lasted for less than a second, but it was enough for the Lord of Tentacles to slam its arms aimlessly while hitting several flying monsters, including the Ignis Medusozoa, which was not much weaker than the Lord of Tentacles itself.

As for Angor… he had yet to get over his stressful mind. He was still panting heavily while trying to calm his heartbeat.

While inside the battlefield, he didn’t really feel anything even though he was so close to the terrible monsters. Now that he had time to think about it, he felt terrified—one wrong move back there and both his life and his soul would be gone.

*Purr*

He felt something and looked around, only to see Keely’s cat, who had been sitting on her broomstick, hopped onto his shoulder and meowed at him.

Perhaps the creature sensed Angor’s troubled mind. It licked at his cheek gently.

Angor was a little surprised, but he was even more surprised when he felt his mood getting soothed.

“Luna said thanks,” Keely said in her usual cold tone.

“It did?”

“Yeah. It believes that without you, all of us would be dead.”

Angor felt something strange from Keely’s voice. She still sounded distant and unfriendly, but… not as distant as before.

“I was just saving myself…” Angor nodded. “Didn’t expect such an outcome though.”

Keely wanted to ask why Angor brought so many fishes to the lava zone in the first place. But on second thought, she felt that it wasn’t a good time to talk with people watching them, so she gave up and focused on controlling her broomstick.

Angor reached for Luna’s tiny head to show his friendliness.

And he totally wasn’t expecting to earn three bloody gashes on his hand.

Luna turned around, slapped his face with its tail, and returned to the broomstick.

“Cats… I’ll never understand them,” Angor complained as he used Heal on himself while glaring at Luna. The kitten seemed indifferent about what it just did whatsoever.

“Luna hates it when people touch it. If you must, try to do it when Luna’s happy,” Keely explained.

Angor glanced at the kitten in doubt. “So… is it happy or not?”

“Somewhere in between.” Keely reached out a hand and rubbed Luna’s chin. “Okay, it’s happy now.”

“Huh?!”

But there’s no difference! How can you tell? And wait, so the cat switches mood between seconds? Well, that doesn’t help!

“I just… know,” Keely said as if she managed to read Angor’s mind. “I know what Luna is thinking about.”

Angor couldn’t help complaining in his mind. Yeah right. They say pets resemble their masters. That so explains it!
