Warlock Apprentice

Two hours later.

Felicia was checking each of the cabins inside the ghost ship. Each door would give her a different experience.

Books covered in blood that helped her create intricate stories in her mind, broken letters that told of someone’s love toward his lover, shattered mirrors that once served beauty-obsessed ladies… Every room contained fun details that led to boundless imaginations.

There were no people in the illusion. Yet Felicia found the stories she created to be quite convincing and perfect.

Next, she arrived at a pure-black door.

The room behind the door was just as black. Felicia entered the room and soon found herself wandering in chaos—the room was no more. There were no longer walls, ceilings, or directions.

She kept floating ahead, and suddenly, she sensed that her soul was shaking.

It was high noon. When climbing out of Deadmen’s Dent, he felt sharp wind tingling his skin. He looked up and saw the entire Hollow Wood covered under a thick layer of snow.

The ground had ankle-level whiteness, which made it difficult to walk.

Bam!

Angor jerked his head at the sudden noise and saw Shadow intentionally kicking at a tree, causing all the snow on the tree to fall off.

The man got away in time, yet the blond magic puppet, Naga, was assaulted terribly by Shadow’s prank.

“Oh my my, Lady Naga, shall I help you remove the burden from your body?” Shadow held Naga’s jaw with a finger. His wicked expression was fully reflected inside Naga’s azure eyes.

“Please don’t do this, Master.” Naga was clearly blushing. Her voice was that of a cold machine, but the way she talked somehow contained a bit of shyness.

“Don’t do what?” Shadow put an arm around Naga with obvious intentions.

It seemed this man finally got the chance to let his urges loose after obtaining Naga. He didn’t attempt too many things while inside Dark Castle. Now that they were somewhere “more private”, Shadow couldn’t wait to have fun interactions with his new prize.

And this was also when Angor noticed that Naga had her own consciousness as well.

He already realized this when Naga displayed overwhelming strength at him. She was intentionally making Shadow’s challenge easier then.

A wizard-level puppet with intelligence… If not for their magic covenant, Angor would well stay away from Shadow.

“Master, it’s too cold…”

“Oh! I shall warm you up with my chest.”

Angor feared that the “drama” would get out of control and quickly said, “Do whatever you want. I’m going back to Water Grasse. Let’s decide on a meeting place for tomorrow.”

“Oh no no, we don’t have to. I don’t have a single coin on me right now. I’m coming with you! Also, can you lend me some coins so that I can get some clothes?” Shadow was wearing Angor’s robe for now, but apart from it, the man was still naked. The loose robe didn’t do a good job of concealing his “stick”.

“… Fine. Let’s go.” Angor frowned.

Before leaving, Shadow released the apprentices who had been under his control for half a month. These people didn’t dare to make any extra move in front of Shadow. There was only Magician who showed obvious hatred toward Shadow, as well as a doubtful glance at Angor.

When in Water Grasse, Angor tossed a small coin sack at Shadow and returned to his mansion first.
