The Wizard World - Chapter 450

Chapter 450: Encounter (1)

It was Eugene's own fault, she had too many enemies .

Angele stepped away from the crystal orb and wiped the dust off his long robe . A red triangular rune flashed on the robe and the robe became clean again .

He tested the mind-reading ability in the main world; however, it seemed like the ability was easier to control when he was in the Nightmare Realm .

In the Nightmare Realm, Angele could read an adult's memory without any problem . However, in the wizard world, a lot of mentality was consumed when he was reading the memory of a vampire girl .

It was probably due to the realm difference . Although Angele's true form was strengthened, he could not utilize his true power in the main world .

Although the single-eyed giant's bloodline could increase his attributes, his body was still much weaker than his true form . It was the same for the scorpion woman's bloodline, the ability was weakened in the main world .

As Angele sat on the bed with his legs crossed, a white envelope appeared above the red cabinet slowly, and it looked like a playback of a burning letter .  

The envelope returned to its original shape in drops of flames .

Angele glanced at the white letter, raised his hand, and the letter landed on his palm .

"A new way to send a message?" Angele was a bit confused as he turned the letter around .

The surface of the letter was smooth and slightly wet .

A clean and beautiful sentence was written in gold on the front of the envelope .

'To Green .

Vivian Fenrir . '

*CHI*

Angele unsealed the letter and pulled a yellow leather paper out of it .

The paper was covered with Vivian's words, she was asking about Angele's current situation . Then, Vivian mentioned that she had taken care of Eugene and she wanted Angele to rest well . Also, Vivian would be back in a year due to the incident and she wanted to make sure that Angele could reach rank 3 by then . Vivian said she would punish Angele if he could not reach rank 3 .

There were many repeated sentences in the letter, most of them were just the caring words from a mother to a son .

Also, it was mentioned that the new method of sending messages was developed by a wizard named Rock last year . Watchers learned the technique not so long ago—they modified the technique slightly, and Angele was one of the few people in the organization who received a message that was delivered using the new technique .

Angele read through the letter and carefully put it into a drawer of the red cabinet .

'One year till Vivian returns . I should probably finish my things before that . '

He sat on the bed and thought for a while . Black and red runes appeared on the walls as he waved his hands .

There were more than 30 runes on the walls—they released a translucent force field that surrounded them .

Angele checked the red light on the walls of the bedroom and nodded with a satisfied look on face . He relaxed and slowly lay down .

There were a dark-red blanket, a quality pillow, and a soft cotton sheet on the large bed .

Angele lay on the bed, enjoying the warmth of the high-quality bed . It felt like lying on a pile of cotton flowers . He could see the red barriers on the wall with a quick glance and he felt safe in an environment like this .

"I haven't relaxed like this for a while…" Angele calmed down and fell asleep slowly .

　　****

"Cough!"

Angele suddenly coughed several times and woke up from the sweet dream right away .

He quickly got up, covered his mouth, and started coughing .

'It's probably morning… I hate this thing… It always interrupts my dreams in the morning,' Angele thought as he glanced at the barriers in the room .

"Well… I'm just paranoid… The ruin is protected by countless traps and I don't even know why I decided to set up barriers in my bedrooms…" There was a bitter smile on Angele's face . He got off the bed, put on black boots, and buttoned everything .

He walked to the wardrobe and selected a white silky cloak with a long white belt with silver edges .

After changing the clothes, he put his hand on the chest, turned into a ray of red light, and disappeared into the air .

　　********************

Nightmare Realm .

In the reading room of the mansion by the river .

A ray of red light slowly appeared in the room, turning into a human being .

Angele was wearing a long white robe and half of his face was covered by the tall collar .

He glanced around the room and noticed that the room was separated into two areas .

The area by the window looked like it had traveled through time . It was old and covered with yellow dust . It looked like no one cleaned that area for hundreds of years .

However, the other side was nice and clean . The lab table, the bookshelves, and the furniture looked like they were brand new .

"This is…?" Angele's brow furrowed, he looked at the strange room and recalled the first time that he entered the Nightmare Realm .

He stepped forward and stood on the line that separated the two areas . He raised his right hand and reached into the decaying area .

Nothing changed, his hand was still the same .

Angele was a bit confused . He remembered something and grabbed a red chair from the normal area, putting it down in the decaying area .

*CHI*

After some light noise, the new chair started decaying at a fast rate . The color of the chair turned dark and the chair was covered with tiny cracks .

The new chair turned into an old chair within seconds .

'I was right… This is the decaying area . ' Angele scrunched his brow again .

Angele already knew that the decaying area was one of the unsolved mysteries . He learned it from the information that was sent to him by Eye Devil, who had no idea what the decaying area was .

In the decaying area, time would travel much faster; however, only the physical form of the object or creature would change . The soul of the creature would remain the same .

In other words, one might turn into an old man while his soul was still young . The situation happened a lot; however, it could not be resolved or prevented .

There was only one way to handle the situation, which was leaving the area .

'That's why the strong beings in the Nightmare Realm are trying to invade the other worlds . They'll return to this realm after being pressured by the power of the realms . However, they could escape from the strange situations in the Nightmare Realm temporarily during the invasion . '

Angele knew that the decaying area would expand for unknown reasons; however, it would expand faster when the realms were close to each other .

An event was mentioned in the Erin's Funeral Oration .

The last inheritor of the oration was resting in a cave and set up multiple barriers by the entrance of the cave . It was nearly impossible for an invader or a creature to enter the cave without being noticed by the inheritor . However, several days later, when he woke up, he noticed that there was a girl in red standing beside him and staring at him, and he had no idea how long she had been standing there .

The inheritor knew that the girl was not a soul form as whoever practiced the oration would never fear a soul form . However, when the inheritor was certain that he was staying in a safe environment, the unexpected changes terrified him .

Angele was certain that something similar had happened to other strong beings in this realm and that was the reason why they pursued the ultimate true form .

One would not be injured even when he was sleeping if he reached the highest level, since the opponent would not be able to damage him use normal techniques .

Angele was certain that he would not fear anything if he could reach the highest power level .

'I think Eye Devil and the other lords all have things they fear and that's why they're so excited about the invasion . They wanted to stay in a better realm even if they can't stay there forever . '

Angele pulled the chair back to the normal area .

*Crack*

The chair broke into pieces and turned into a pile of broken wood .

Shaking his head, Angele turned around and opened the door . The mansion was empty and deadly silent .

"Freia? Orphie?" he shouted in a deep voice .

No one responded . It felt like there was no one in the mansion .

Angele walked down the stairs slowly; his footsteps echoed in the empty mansion .

He noticed that the control panel for the defensive system was impacted by the decaying area and its surface was cracked . There was no light from the panel .

Angele's expression changed, he looked outside and noticed that the barriers almost disappeared .

By the edge of the barrier, there were countless footprints on the white snow . It felt like there were many people waiting for the barriers to disappear .

"Damn . " Angele snorted and pointed at the control panel, releasing a ball of red flame that surrounded the panel completely .

*WOO*

The defensive barriers around the mansion regained the energy and were activated again .

The burning flames around the panel were the source of their energy .

It was one of the tricks that Angele learned over the years . He turned the magic stones into pure power which could support a damaged rune circle temporarily .

However, the damaged rune circle would be destroyed completely in three days .

The control panel was already damaged and Angele had no way to repair it . He had to support it using the power from the magic stone .

"Freia! Orphie!" Angele shouted again, his voice was buffed by the energy waves, and it echoed in the mansion .

However, no one responded . It seemed like the two girls were not here .

Angele's expression turned serious, he quickly glanced around and his sight landed on the floor in front of the gate . He could see the wet footprints that went into the building .
