Seconds later, the dark void transformed into a profound abyss. Suddenly, a glint of light emerged from its depths, gradually expanding into an arc of light.
At the brightest moment of the arc,
A monstrous creature of unimaginable size slowly revealed its skull-like contour.
The light arc previously seen was the “lamp” on the creature’s forehead, reminiscent of a deep-sea anglerfish, illuminating its endless journey through the dark void.
It sailed quietly, appearing without warning, like thunder out of a clear sky.
Angel couldn’t fathom the creature’s immense size, as he only saw its head’s outline. But its crimson glowing eyes alone were as large as a hill, hinting at the enormity of this being dwelling in the void.
Angel and this terrifying creature were observing each other, separated by a dome.
Though the dome concealed all intimidation and presence, merely gazing into its eyes, Angel felt a chilling helplessness emanating from his core…
The spotted puppy beside him continued to bark at the creature in the void, but the monster seemed deaf to its sounds, only staring with its vast, greedy eyes at the small dome.
Angel didn’t know what the creature planned, but he instinctively stepped back, preparing to find an escape route should the creature breach the dome.
“Magic Whale Liani…”
A message faintly appeared beside him; Angel glanced at the Void Traveler in the birdcage. The message was from it.
Angel was about to delve into this information when suddenly, a series of sounds echoed from behind.
Tap, tap, tap——
Two sets of footsteps; one familiar, the tapping of dress shoes, the other heavier, like a horse shod with horseshoes, each step ringing with a sharp metallic clang.
Angel didn’t turn around. His expression of fear towards the dome outside vanished abruptly, ——he remembered he was still in the guise of Shava.
With an indifferent gaze, Angel observed the massive creature outside the dome, like a perfectly calm onlooker.
The footsteps reached his side. Glancing sideways, he saw Boil Gentleman, who had returned earlier, standing next to him.
About a step behind Boil Gentleman stood a figure entirely encased in steam-powered armor.
Boil Gentleman, untroubled and even somewhat at ease, gestured towards the huge creature outside the dome, “Ah, we meet again, my old friend, the mutated Void Magic Whale~”
“Almost forgot, you can’t see inside here, my greetings were in vain.”
“Today, I’m hosting the esteemed Shava. Perhaps you could return tomorrow? It seems you’re unwilling. Well then, I must expel you…”
As Boil Gentleman’s voice faded, a ghostly blue glow intensified on the dome.
With the light pulsating, the Magic Whale’s skull, previously nearly against the dome, slowly receded.
It arrived silently, and its departure was equally noiseless.
It seemed, just as Boil Gentleman said, like a visit from an “old friend”.
But Angel did not forget, in the eyes of this magic creature, there was a greedy longing for the dome. This purely emotionless gaze signified the innermost desires of the creature.
Its relationship with Boil Gentleman was certainly not that of old friends, it might even be quite the opposite.
However, this had nothing to do with Angel. The creature’s voluntary departure was indeed a good thing; seeing that he was about to leave, he did not want any complications to arise on his way out.
When the surrounding void returned to silence, Angel spoke lightly, “Your old friend seems very covetous of your place here.”
“I don’t know what it’s coveting, it often comes here… maybe my dynamo?”
“That’s why, to satisfy its needs, I’ve been working on a dynamo capable of sustaining that little void magic whale.” Boil Gentleman sighed, “Unfortunately, the supply of Light of Nightmare is decreasing. I wonder if I can request more from Lord Nooka.”
Light of Nightmare? A faint red light glimpsed from Rainbow Mountain flashed through Angel’s mind.
Why did Boil Gentleman suddenly mention the Light of Nightmare? Could it be——
“The dynamo contains Light of Nightmare?”
“You’ve noticed too, Highness Shava? The main material of the Chaos Source is diluted Light of Nightmare. Before Lord Nooka’s descent, we could use Light of Nightmare freely, but now, it’s all taken by Lord Nooka. Consequently, I can no longer modify the little magic whale.” Boil Gentleman spoke with deep regret.
Angel realized then, no wonder Boil Gentleman had said while introducing the Chaos Source, “As long as slaughter exists, as long as nightmares continue, the energy of the Chaos Source will persist indefinitely.”
The continuous nightmares mentioned here probably referred to the Light of Nightmare.
The more he understood about the dynamo, the lower his expectations became.
Not to mention the possibility of the dynamo subtly driving one insane, the fact that its main material was Light of Nightmare significantly reduced Angel’s interest.
As a well-informed alchemist, he was completely unfamiliar with Light of Nightmare, indicating its extreme rarity. In other words, replicating the dynamo in the Wizarding World would be difficult, and even if its effects were remarkable, it would be in vain if it couldn’t be replicated, not to mention if the effects were less than satisfactory.
Angel frowned, no longer pursuing the topic of Light of Nightmare, but turned his gaze to another person behind Boil Gentleman.
It was undeniable, the appearance of this servant brought by Boil Gentleman very much appealed to Angel’s aesthetic.
Still in the style of steampunk.
About two and a half meters tall, completely covered in armor.
Its armor, resembling a steel fortress, was adorned with intricate gears and steam machinery. Even its face was a golden hooded mask made of bearings, one eye marked with a white paint symbol, the other a red telescope.
Its mere presence inspired in Angel a profound yearning for the beauty of machinery.
Boil Gentleman, noticing Angel’s gaze, seemed to remember his primary purpose, turned to Angel and introduced, “Highness Shava, this is one of my servants, Vanen. He usually patrols the east section and exit of the Maze of Mystlight Candles Corridor, repairing broken dynamos for me, and occasionally creates some black nightmare creatures for the Seed of Distortion experiments.”
Vanen’s gaze met Angel’s, the red telescope of his eye flashing a brilliant light.
This light shifted from the warning crimson to a calm glimmer.
Subsequently, Vanen slowly knelt on one knee and gave Angel a chest salute.
