The Wizard World - Chapter 451

Chapter 451: Encounter (2)

Angele drew several runes in the air quietly, and a dark-red barrier and a frost aura quickly surrounded his body .

He glanced at the footprints—the wet footprints were hard to notice on the carpet and led straight to the bathroom .

Angele activated the stealth technique and walked to the bathroom slowly .

*BAM*

He pushed the door open .

There was a naked woman with pale skin lying in a bathtub that was full of red blood .

The woman's eyes were wide open, she lay in the bathtub and no one knew how long she soaked in the blood . Her arms and legs were on the edges of the bathtub, the rest of her body was in the blood .

The stinky smell of the blood permeated the bathroom .

Angele followed the footprints to the bathtub and his sight fell upon the woman in the blood .

'Who's this woman…' Angele had never seen the woman .

It was not Orphie nor Freia . The woman looked young .

He approached the woman and grabbed her head .

Angele stared at the woman's widened eyes, it seemed like she died before she realized it .

Angele's brow furrowed, he tried to close the woman's eyes using his hand, but he failed for some reason .

"Fool…" Angele scrunched his brow again and applied some more force .

The woman's eyes were finally closed .

Angele lowered his hand and stood up . He checked the surroundings, but did not find anything . He hesitated, turned around, and walked to the door .

Suddenly, he could feel a chill climbing up his back and quickly turned around .

The woman was standing behind him and her eyes were wide open . There was blood dripping down her body .

*BAM*

A ball of red flame exploded in the air and the dark-red lava splashed in the tiny bathroom .

Angele grabbed the woman's head using his right hand .

*PA*

It sounded like a watermelon being crashed—the woman exploded after being gripped as her body turned into pieces of flesh and splashed on the walls .

Angele snorted and glanced around carefully .

The red blood splashed on the walls, along with the brain tissue and broken pieces of bones .

The red lava drops turned the bathroom into a sauna . White smoke rose from the flesh under the high temperature .  

It smelled like someone was grilling meat .

Angele opened the door .

*BAM*

The wooden door was blocked by something and he only managed to move the door slightly .

*BAM BAM*

Angele tried again; however, the door was still blocked by something .

His expression changed, it was just the hallway outside the bathroom, and there should not be anything blocking his path .

Angele peeked outside through the door; he could see a shadow on the floor . It felt like there was someone standing outside the bathroom, pushing the door back .

"Damn it!" Angele's skull numbed . He had not encountered such a weird situation in a while .  

He took a step back and kicked the wooden door hard .

*BAM*

The white door was blown away by the impact, landing on the sofa in the living room . However, there was no one in the hallway .

Angele's expression turned serious, he knew that there were too many things that could not be explained in the mysterious Nightmare Realm . They were everywhere and they could happen at any time, just like nightmares .

He stepped into the hallway and checked the surroundings . The mansion was deadly silent and he was the only one making noises .

Angele looked at the bathroom, the room was already burnt black by the lava and the flames .

"Extinguish!" He pointed at the flames .

*WOO*

Some gentle wind blew into the bedroom; the lava drops and the flames were all extinguished . Thick smoke was blown out of the broken window and everything returned to normal .

"Well, it's understandable that the lords want to travel to other realms…" Angele muttered, then looked at the building—he was worried about the girls .

Suddenly, Angele noticed that there was a letter in a black cylinder under the sofa . The cylinder container lay on the carpet quietly, it was placed in the normal area and the container looked new .

It seemed like Freia and Orphie were trying to hide from something . They probably hid the letter under the sofa so that they could tell Angele what happened .

Angele was excited after seeing the letter, he quickly walked to the sofa and used the energy particles to grab the container .

He opened the container and found a piece of yellow paper inside .

'Green, many strange things happened in the garden while you were not here . Orphie and I are scared . We received a letter from my brother and decided to leave the mansion with the one who delivered the letter . Don't worry, the person sent by my brother is strong and we will try to contact you later . '

The letter was written by Freia . Angele treated Freia like his own daughter and he would not want anything unfortunate to happen to her .

'I should leave this place as well…' He closed the letter and checked the surroundings again . Angele walked upstairs and collected the important lab data . He also checked the garden and noticed that Freia took the sunflower with her . He made sure nothing important was left behind and stepped out of the building .

The sky was pale and it was still snowing . Angele could see a thick layer of snow on the ground .

Angele grabbed a snowflake, but did not find any words on it . It was obvious that the snow was not used to deliver the message of a lord this time .

He stepped into the snow and walked to the defensive barriers with a large black leather case in hand .

There was no longer any green vine outside the barrier and the only thing in Angele's sight was the thick snow .

There were no footprints on the snow as he stepped out of the barrier . It almost felt like Angele was seeing illusions, however, Angele had high resistance to illusions and it was nearly impossible for him to be trapped in a fake environment .

Angele glanced at the mansion one last time before he entered the forest . The mansion was the only shelter he had in the Nightmare Realm, but he had to abandon it along with the memories .

"Sadly… Well…" Shaking his head, Angele stopped thinking, and walked to the deep forest .

Angele headed to Eye Devil's territory; the forest was still deadly silent . Angele created a shadow barrier around his body so the weird creatures would not be able to touch him during the daytime . He still had no idea where those creatures came from .

The strikes from those creatures could only be blocked by black objects and that was the reason why the residents of the Nightmare Realm wore black outfits .

Angele checked the map that was given to him by Eye Devil from time to time while he was traveling .

The map would change over time . Eye Devil's servants were collecting new information all the time and would update the map constantly due to the properties of the Nightmare Realm .

Angele decided not to use the elemental teleportation here since he was not familiar with the areas and the landscape might change for no reason .

He needed to have a general idea of his destination so the teleportation could be accurate, otherwise, he might hit a wall or something .

It got dark outside after he traveled for around five to six hours .

Angele stopped and found a patch of empty ground . He built a campfire using dried tree branches and set up an energy sentry in the area . The sentry looked like a palm-sized metal beetle and it could create a weak barrier . The sentry would warn the owner when there was danger .

Also, he could create multiple sentries and those beetles could hide underneath the ground so he could prevent the attack from below .

Angele meditated for a whole night with his legs crossed; he could feel that he was progressing .

After his soul was improved by the book of light, he could feel that his mentality was increasing as he meditated . It felt like pouring water into a bucket that increased in volume .

He noticed that his mentality was increasing twice faster than before .

Angele's mentality would increase by one point every year through meditation, but the needed time has shortened by half after his soul was improved . Although it would take him a while to meet the requirements for a rank 4 wizard, he already had the chance to become a rank 4 wizard . Every wizard needed the time to increase their mentality, but their power level would increase greatly after they advanced to rank 4 .

Rank 3 wizard was like a worm in a cocoon . It would take him over 100 years to break the cocoon and become a butterfly . If he failed, he would die as a worm in the cocoon .

Angele had nothing to worry about, he was walking the path of the ancient wizard and his true form was getting closer to the power level of a rank 6 wizard . However, Angele was just assuming the level of his true form . He did it by comparing the data he collected since he had never seen the power of a rank 5 or 6 wizard .

Although the trip with Eye Devil's army would be dangerous, opportunities usually came with risks . Angele wanted to test his power and decided to join the invasion .
