“Lord Mad.” Angel muttered this name softly.
Apart from Bee Blair, Mademoiselle Goldilocks, and Lord Nooka, this was the fourth named creature he had heard of since arriving at the Doreen Flower Garden.
Moreover, from the tone of these mushrooms, it seemed that Lord Mad was probably a superior of Bee Blair. But what was their relationship with Mademoiselle Goldilocks?
Could it be that in order to leave the Doreen Flower Garden, he had to not only pass Mademoiselle Goldilocks but also this Lord Mad?
If that was the case, Angel suddenly felt that the path ahead was gloomy.
Angel sighed, not delving deeper into these thoughts. Facing unknown dangers head-on was always better than scaring himself at the back.
Thus, Angel, while hanging on the Mushroom Forum, flew towards Mademoiselle Goldilocks’ castle.
After flying low for about ten minutes, Angel finally left the area of the fire mushrooms. In front of him was a ‘normal’ mushroom forest.
This ‘normalcy’ was only relative to Angel’s extended stay in these woods. To others, these mushrooms would definitely not be as gentle, probably showing their fangs and biting at the first opportunity.
After returning to the normal mushroom forest, Angel flew for another ten minutes but still hadn’t left the area.
This reminded him of something Reeves had said before.
“After I was captured by those terrifying creatures, I was brought to this Doreen Flower Garden. At first, the garden was small, just like the size shown by the ruins themselves, perhaps converted from the material repository of the ruins. But later, the size of the space started to change.”
Reeves, though controlled by Mystlight, actually only had his consciousness suppressed and replaced. His eyes, nose, and ears could still perceive the information around him; he just couldn’t respond through his primary consciousness. It’s somewhat like a suppressed parallel personality in a dual personality situation.
Therefore, even in a state of losing control, Reeves still sensed the changes in the Doreen Flower Garden.
Initially, this place was very small, perhaps about the size of the material repository in the ruins where Angel now resides. However, the spatial boundaries here have since undergone a noticeable change, continuously extending to the point where it’s now comparable to the size of a city.
Such spatial changes first led Angel to think of expansion runes. However, he quickly dismissed this idea. Expansion runes, although capable of Extending Space, maintain a constant sum of internal energy. The surrounding dense energy doesn’t seem like the work of expansion runes.
Moreover, the space where expansion runes are located is not very stable. A slight excess in power could cause the space runes to fracture.
The space of the Doreen Flower Garden is very stable, so it’s unlikely due to expansion runes.
However, Angel wasn’t entirely certain. He knew that spatial changes must involve fluctuations in spatial energy, so he thought to ascertain the situation of the Doreen Flower Garden by inquiring about Reeves’ perception of spatial energy.
But the answer Reeves gave was quite bizarre: “When my thoughts were out of control, because I was continuously outputting fire elemental energy, I actually had a perception of the surrounding energy changes. During this time, I did not feel any spatial fluctuations!”
No spatial fluctuations, so how did the space expand? Angel was surprised.
“It’s as if this garden has its own consciousness and is growing new areas on its own,” said Reeves, who, not being a spatial wizard, didn’t quite understand: “The only change is a certain strange aura that Mystlight likes, which has been rising around here. I’m sure that this strange aura has nothing to do with spatial energy.”
Although Reeves only mentioned a “strange aura,” Angel almost immediately realized that this strange aura was probably the aura of the Nightmare Plane.
The aura of the Nightmare Plane was intensifying, yet there were no spatial fluctuations, which further piqued Angel’s curiosity about the Doreen Flower Garden.
Especially since he had now measured the size of the Doreen Flower Garden himself, he could confirm that it was entirely different from the initial Doreen Flower Garden described by Reeves.
What was the meaning behind these spatial transformations? Angel remembered Witch Maya mentioning that Tuvalu had seen, on the Star Observing Day, a large number of creatures moving spatial magical materials within the ruins. Could this be related?
Were the creatures of the Nightmare Plane attempting to expand this ruin into a fully-fledged fortress for a comprehensive attack on the Southern Region’s Wizarding World?
Angel couldn’t be sure, but the behaviors of the Nightmare Plane creatures were too bizarre, prompting him to speculate about their intentions.
Of course, it wasn’t just the actions of the Nightmare Plane creatures that were odd; the ruins themselves were equally strange.
Just recalling Reeves’ initial encounter in these ruins gave Angel a sense of eeriness…
As Angel was preparing to ponder deeper about the situation of the ruins, he was suddenly interrupted by a piece of music. It was a song that sounded soothing yet inexplicably sent shivers down one’s spine.
“The Moonlight shines on the devout believers, who pray and seek bliss.”
“The faithful tread on the carpet of Moonlight, heading in the direction guided by the Moon.”
“Yet, there lie only humans living happily, no white bones, darkness, or wastelands.”
“It turns out, the Moonlight never shone; it was spreading rumors.”
It was like a dark nursery rhyme. Even though the singer was almost mumbling the lyrics, the terrifying implications within the song still reached straight to the listener’s soul.
“Who is singing?” This was no ordinary song, certainly unusual. Angel immediately became alert, his phantasmal limbs swiftly interweaving into a suit of armor formed from phantasmal limbs. His mental power also floated around, sensing for danger.
Danger was ultimately not perceived; instead, by utilizing mental power, the source of the sound was located.
It was a large mushroom less than twenty meters away from Angel.
The sound was coming from behind the mushroom.
Was there a creature singing behind the mushroom, or was the mushroom itself singing?
Angel hesitated for a moment, deciding to go forward and check. Although he was very aware that this was a dangerous act, being in a place full of unknown terrors, recklessness is not an option, but timidity is absolutely unacceptable.
Angel stepped towards this pure white large mushroom.
His mental power couldn’t sense the emotions of this large mushroom. The surrounding Mushroom Forum was also eerily quiet, making this place strangely mysterious.
When Angel was about ten meters away from the large mushroom, he sensed through the air vibrations that there were no other creatures around the large mushroom.
This meant that it was very likely that the mushroom itself was singing.
When he was about five meters away, the song suddenly stopped. At first, Angel thought the mushroom had noticed him and therefore stopped singing, but the next second a strange dialogue occurred.
“What you want to express is guilt, but guilt is not something that criticism of the Moonlight can achieve,” came a rough, hoarse voice.
After a moment of silence, a faint female voice said, “Then what should I do? Admire the Moonlight or tear it apart?”
“Why do you cling to the Moonlight! The Moonlight has nothing to do with this matter!”
