“Only by letting the creator die completely, can I break free from all shackles.”
Mad’s answer took Angel by surprise. But thinking about it, he found some reason in it. However, this reason was a bit… twisted.
Nevertheless, whether Mad could kill the creator or not, Angel didn’t care. What he wanted to know more was when he could leave this place.
Angel looked up at the gray fog floating in the sky, churning above their heads at that moment.
Mad seemed to notice Angel’s thoughts and said, “They are preparing to leave this place, to go beyond the Land of Heart Sigh, spreading the belief in the art of performance.”
“But they dare not come down now.”
Angel: “Ah?”
Mad glanced at Angel: “Because Highness Shava is here, they dare not come down.”
These spores of Illusio, before they merge into a human body, have a collective consciousness when aggregated. This collective consciousness allows them to recognize hierarchy and difference. Even though they are very eager to approach the aura of the Nightmare Plane emanating from Angel, their status difference instills fear in them.
Angel thought for a moment and lightly stepped back several hundred meters.
As soon as Angel stood at a distance, the gray fog in the sky immediately started to roll and then swarmed into the chimney, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Angel returned near the chimney. Since the spores of Illusio had disappeared, it was time for them to leave.
As he and Boil Gentleman prepared to head towards the chimney, Mad, who was attached to the chimney, suddenly spoke: “Respected Highness Shava, Mademoiselle Goldilocks did mean no harm earlier. She intended to consult with you before bringing you here, but she was too shy to speak and so…”
Mad was interrupted by Angel before finishing: “You have already mentioned this before, I know.”
But knowing did not mean Angel had forgiven Mademoiselle Goldilocks.
Mad opened its mouth but eventually said nothing more. It had come this time hoping to clear things up for Mademoiselle Goldilocks, but it seemed there was still no good effect.
Angel ignored Mad, nodded to Boil Gentleman, and then jumped into the chimney.
Upon entering the chimney, Angel felt like he was on a long slide. This slide went not only downwards but also turned upwards at certain points.
This chimney journey took less than a minute. When they emerged from a black hole, they had completely left the dome of the Doreen Flower Garden.
After stabilizing, Angel began to survey his surroundings.
They were in a rather lavish room. The room was large, with a high bed draped with silk curtains embroidered with rose patterns, thick plush carpets, and various pieces of furniture and decorations, all exquisitely detailed.
Behind them was a standing mirror with rose patterns.
Clearly, the exit from the chimney was this mirror.
Angel reached out to touch the mirror. It was solid; his hand did not pass through.
“Although the exit is here, the entrance to the Doreen Flower Garden is in the Baron of Rose’s garden. There is a giant mushroom there, and being swallowed by it leads into the Doreen Flower Garden,” explained Boil Gentleman, walking to a window in the room and pointing in a direction: “It’s that mushroom.”
Angel approached and looked out the window.
The room they were in was likely situated at a high elevation, allowing a commanding view of the scene outside.
What he first noticed were the houses in the distance, shrouded in mist. Though obscured by the fog, the houses could still be vaguely discerned, appearing somewhat dilapidated.
Despite their dilapidation, there were many of these unevenly positioned houses, resembling a miniature version of a city.
However, this city might actually be a deserted one.
Shifting his gaze from the distant houses, he looked in the direction indicated by Boil Gentleman and saw a huge mushroom proudly standing atop piles of white bones.
This mushroom, not only perched on bones, also had its mushroom draped with skeletons, most of which were human.
The mouth of the mushroom was agape, revealing terrifying sharp teeth and a deep crimson interior.
Is that the entrance to the Doreen Flower Garden? Angel thought, feeling a chill down his spine as he gazed at the rows of sharp teeth.
“Only those with the aura of the Source can enter the Doreen Flower Garden through its mouth; all other creatures will be chewed up and devoured,” Boil Gentleman explained.
Angel withdrew his gaze, maintaining a calm demeanor, but the turmoil in his heart surged immensely.
Not to mention the shock brought by the mushroom, the surrounding wasteland and deserted city filled Angel with even greater dread. Although he had a rough understanding of the conditions in each region from the dinner party’s conversation, the sight before him made him realize he had underestimated the remnants of this world, transformed after the Heart Sigh Descent.
It was like an entire world.
“Let’s go,” Angel said, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, addressing Boil Gentleman.
Boil Gentleman nodded and led the way to the main door. Angel followed closely. As he passed a bed shrouded by silk curtains, he faintly noticed a dark shadow inside…
After leaving the previous room, Angel followed Boil Gentleman through a long corridor, up and down several labyrinthine staircases, until, to Angel’s perception, they seemed to reach the rooftop. However, when they opened the door, they found themselves outside the ground floor entrance.
Throughout the journey, Angel remained silent, for he witnessed many terrifying things, not just the shadow on the bed, but various bizarre creatures they encountered along the way.
Fortunately, these creatures seemed to harbor no desire to attack and did not approach them.
According to Boil Gentleman, this place was the Rose Castle, and the creatures were under the command of the Baron of Roses. However, the Baron had not followed the Heart Sigh Descent and remained in the Nightmare Plane, but his castle was projected here. The bizarre creatures were guardians of the castle.
Angel did not test the strength of these creatures, but he could sense that they were undoubtedly powerful.
Outside the Rose Castle was still the Baron’s territory.
According to Boil Gentleman, in the Nightmare Plane, this area could be called the Rose District, inhabited by many creatures under the Baron’s dominion.
This reminded Angel of the Nightfall City of the Nightmare Plane he had visited, where many powerful beings resided. To date, Sanders had not dared to explore it. Those terrifying beings each occupied a district, strictly guarding the Nightfall City.
Perhaps this Baron of Roses was a similar entity… meaning, in the Nightmare Plane, his strength must at least be at the realm of legendary.
