Using countless strings, Shadow could control every part and joint on Magician’s body.
Shadow began to hum a small melody. Following the music, Magician began to perform a solo dance.
The man jumped, spun, and hopped with superior agility.
When Magician bowed as a finale, Shadow released some more strings, which controlled the shadow of another pink-haired lady sitting across from him.
Controlled by the trick, the lady joined the music and danced together with Magician.
When Shadow’s music ended, Magician and the lady both bowed again, while holding each other’s arms.
Shadow recovered his white strings and placed Magician’s shadow in the middle of the table. A tiny round table was placed in the middle of nine tinier chairs, which made it appear as if a child had been playing house.
As long as they were inside the Nightmare Domain, Angor could inspect the figures carefully even if they were hidden in darkness.
They looked exactly like humans, only smaller and darker-skinned. Their black hooded overalls caused them to look like clumps of shady imps.
Angor already saw their bright eyes glimmering in the dark.
The three Krakoks were carefully looking around the area and moving in unison, while Shadow was inspecting the illusion by some other means.
Angor fixed his attention on the small creatures. He sensed mana ripples from them.
Apprentices. Low-level ones.
Angor tried to cast Bind to capture the Krakoks, but as soon as the ropes materialized in the air, the Krakoks screamed and created a small door that allowed them to escape.
“It happened again!” Angor could no longer sense their presence in the Nightmare Domain.
Was that a spell that allowed inter-space travel? Usually, spells like these were only available to wizards. However, there were certain races with the right talents that could do this as well.
As Angor pondered about the question, Shadow immediately dashed toward him and released an area-of-effect cantrip at his location.
He had overlooked Shadow’s movement when looking at the Krakoks!
Angor cast Bind in a concealed way so that it would be hard to notice, but a warning from the Krakoks still gave his location out.
Shadow was moving so fast with the help of wind elements, and Angor didn’t have enough time to escape or cast another nightmare illusion. Out of desperation, he ordered a group of music teacups to block the attack.
Most of the incoming attack landed on the teacups, while a portion of it managed to reach Angor, knocking him away and breaking his sneak effect.
At the same time, Shadow also stumbled backward with a painful yelp.
Shadow believed that his Bloodline-enhanced instant level-2 cantrip was enough to kill an unwary level-3 apprentice. He didn’t expect a number of… teacups to suddenly get in the way and bounce his power back.
The teacups grew weaker after being separated from the nightmare tunnel, and many of them were shattered by Shadow’s attacks. However, the attacks were still dampened and partially reflected, which inflicted serious damage to Shadow.
