In Baal’s dream, he saw those victims he slaughtered before.

These people, who were supposed to be dead, chased after him on their broken bodies. They kept yelling “reveeeeenge…” until they forced Baal into a corner.

“NOOOO!”

When a moving corpse grabbed Baal’s neck with a pair of bloody hands, the man finally fainted in his dream.

In the next second, Baal bounced up from his bed, panting heavily. His back was covered in his own sweat.

“That’s… a dream?? But it looks so real!”

“Your nightmares won’t leave you alone. It seems you’ve done many guilty things, Baal.”

“I am. This guy doesn’t talk much, but he always wears showy stuff like that. I see him in that outfit many times. Last time when we visited the bar, he even scratched a dancer with those nails. Wait, you saw Shadow last night?”

It was obvious, judging from the snowy weather in the illusion.

“Yeah. He talked to me, and he was… weird.”

Magician nodded. “He is. I still don’t know why he joined the previous meetings. I mean, he’s too strong to actually learn anything from the likes of us. He even provided his own knowledge to us. I don’t believe anyone can be so generous.”

Magician didn’t lie. As someone who only believed in the exchange of benefits, he was actually more cautious than Angor when he hung out with Shadow.

“I see. Thanks.” Angor turned away.

“Wait!” Magician chuckled. “I’ve been working on Create Water and need to ask something. I can, right?”

…

After leaving Magician’s place, Angor headed to the suburbs of Water Grasse.

After learning that Margot’s condition was no ordinary disease, Leonrick took her back home so that she didn’t need to be constantly surrounded by the useless doctors.

Leonrick hired a group of caretakers to look after Margot. He even planned to ask Tyrael and Caroline to stay in his house. However, after being tortured by Angor’s illusions for three days, Tyrael was in no condition to accept that job.

In the end, only Caroline agreed to the offer to stay in the count’s manor.

Right now, Leonrick was discussing with Caroline about how to soothe Margot’s mental condition.

Margot received quite a shock after learning about her situation. She had been staying in a dark room and refused to see anyone. As her father, Leonrick had to think about how to treat her mental illness first.

Caroline sighed helplessly. “No one can accept the fact that they’re going toward the abyss with no hope of turning back. If we can’t get her shadow back, she’ll have to face the truth herself and get over it… although I don’t think that’s anything less painful.”

Cyndia broke down again after she heard those words.

Leonrick held his wife by an arm. “There’s still hope. We have Mister Mask.”

“But… Will he still help us after Tyrael scolded him like that?” Cyndia wept badly.

Caroline looked away in embarrassment. Yesterday, when she went to apologize to Mister Mask, he had shut the door in her face.

“I… I’m not sure,” Leonrick mumbled. He had just sent the information regarding “Krakok” to the wizard, but he didn’t know whether it would help.

A knight cladded in silver armor entered the room. “Sir! Mister Mask is here!”

Leonrick quickly stood up while Cyndia also stopped her tears.

“I… I’ll be right there!” Great excitement quickly occupied the man’s face.

“There’s no need,” Angor said. He was already walking into the room as he said, “We’ll talk right away.”
