Chapter 542 Others' Current Situation <TOC> Chapter 544 The Drawback of Taeniasis Green Velvet
Translator: SumTLMan
Messenger: Sanders.
The message has only two words: “Return quickly.”
Angel doesn’t know what happened, but since the mentor summoned him, he couldn’t delay. After bidding Midora farewell, he hurriedly left.
When he returned to the mansion, he found that the tightly closed door of the study had finally opened.
There was only Sanders in the study, sitting at his desk, recording something. The curtains of the floor-to-ceiling window behind him were drawn, and the midday sun outlined his profile with a fine golden edge.
When Sanders saw Angel walk in, he raised his eyebrows and looked over. He inserted the quill into the inkwell and gestured for Angel to sit down.
The last time Angel heard Sanders’ voice, it seemed exhausted. But today, it seemed to have returned to normal. Moreover, he found that Sanders’ energy seemed deeper than before, shrouded in an ethereal aura.
As Angel secretly examined Sanders, Sanders was also paying attention to Angel. Due to the soul mutation, his attention was focused on his Land of Souls for the past month, and he didn’t notice Angel’s changes. He only knew that he had successfully returned from the Purification Garden.
Sanders wasn’t surprised that Angel returned safely, but when he saw that Angel had advanced again, he was quite astonished!
A few days ago, he was amazed that Angel had reached the peak of the second level so quickly. Unexpectedly, not long after, he had advanced again?
“How did you advance to a third-level apprentice?” Sanders couldn’t believe it, frowning: “Did you go to that passage again?”
The passage Sanders mentioned was the one guarded by colorful dragonflies in Hippocrates, where Angel’s strength had been improving almost daily when he practiced inside. That’s why Sanders had this suspicion.
However, the timing shouldn’t be right; and even if Angel really went to that passage, could he advance so easily?
“Didn’t you encounter any barriers?”
Angel nodded. Barriers… he shouldn’t have encountered any since he had advanced while asleep.
“Without the guidance technique of restoring the thirty-six spatial coordinate systems, you could still do it without any barriers?” Sanders looked incredulous.
“It seems that the confidentiality level of this guidance technique needs to be raised even higher.” Sanders thought to himself. However, he didn’t know that Angel not only perfectly constructed the Singularity Scattering Model but also divided the Universal Axis, which led to the miraculous effect of this guidance technique on Angel.
“Tell me about your advancement process,” Sanders curiously asked.
Angel didn’t hide anything, as there were many doubts in this matter, and he originally intended to get answers from Sanders. So he talked about what happened during the purification, the sudden itch on his back, and finally advancing while unconscious.
After listening to Angel’s narration, Sanders was also full of confusion.
“Soul absorbing the essence of the law? Then giving back a large amount of soul power…” This was too strange.
There is no such thing as energy increasing out of thin air in the world. The source of this energy must be the Nightmare Plane represented by the wound on the back. However, swallowing the essence of the law and giving back pure soul power seems too unreasonable.
Sanders couldn’t figure it out, and finally sighed: “The matters of the Nightmare Plane are difficult to predict. If you want to uncover the secret, you can only go to the corresponding Nightmare Plane area of the wound on your back.”
Angel probably understood this too, but with his current strength, trying to enter the core area of the Nightmare Plane was tantamount to courting death. So for now, the mystery remained a mystery, and it had to be put aside temporarily.
Sanders checked Angel to make sure there were no side effects from his advancement and then exclaimed: “As far as I know, apart from some uniquely talented humanoid races, I don’t think there has been a faster advancing human in the past thousand years.”
Most importantly, Angel’s advancement was not the kind that had drawbacks from using medicines or forcing growth. Looking at the stability of his energy structure and magic source, Angel’s foundation was very solid. The only thing he lacked was knowledge accumulation.
Sanders didn’t expect that his initial persistence would lead to such a talented student, and he felt both surprised and delighted. It was not in vain that he made exceptions for Angel multiple times.
If the White Coral Island Academy knew about Angel’s current situation, they would probably regret it deeply.
“What you need now is to make up for your basic knowledge. Moreover, you should prepare for opening a spell slot. As for what spell to fix at that time, you don’t have to hurry… I guess you haven’t even learned a few level two tricks, right?”
Angel nodded shyly.
Sanders thought for a moment: “After we return, you should move to Phantom Island. I will be leaving for some time, and I’m not sure when I will return. I will instruct Goode to temporarily open my study to you. You can take this opportunity to make up for your weaknesses.”
Angel’s eyes lit up, as he knew very well how vast the collection of books in Sanders’ study was!
He hastily nodded in agreement.
Sanders laughed and scolded: “You’re getting quite the deal.”
Angel got a bargain, and naturally wanted to please: “I will not disappoint the expectations of my mentor!”
Pausing, Angel asked curiously: “Mentor, did you leave Phantom Island because of your old friend?”
“Old friend?” Sanders frowned. He left Phantom Island to fulfill Lord Mengke’s promise in the abyss. What did it have to do with old friends?
Angel mentioned the voice he heard outside the study that day. The voice that said “my disciple, Angel” always made him feel strange. His mentors were only Sanders and Jon. Where did the new mentor come from to call him “my disciple”?
Upon mentioning this person, Sanders’ eyebrows drooped slightly: “It’s not for him; you don’t need to worry about his affairs for now.”
Angel saw the changes in Sanders’ expression, and reading people’s faces was always his strength. Since Sanders didn’t want to talk, why should he make himself uncomfortable?
Sanders was silent for a while, then told the main reason for calling Angel back this time: “I need you to help me with some experiments, but these experiments are very dangerous and may put you in a desperate situation. Are you willing?”
Dangerous experiments? Various scenes of human experiments such as brain surgery and heart transplantation flashed through Angel’s mind.
“I don’t know… what kind of experiment is it?” Angel couldn’t see Sanders’ expression and didn’t know what would happen if he refused…
“I need you to go to the Nightmare Plane again. This time, it will still be me and you going together.” Sanders thought for a moment and added: “You can refuse, and I won’t force you.”
So it was going to the Nightmare Plane? Although it wasn’t the human experiment he had imagined, going to the Nightmare Plane was definitely not safe. No wonder Sanders said it might be a desperate situation.
“Is it still Nightfall City?” Angel asked curiously.
“No, not Nightfall City. We’re going to another area on the periphery of the Nightmare Plane. That place has been cleaned up by me and Flora before. It’s much safer than Nightfall City. If there are no new or otherworldly creatures, the highest level of creatures there is about the level of a first-level wizard. Also, the area is not large, only covering a range of more than a thousand miles.”
Angel fell into deep thought: with a range of more than a thousand miles, they could enter and Sanders could find them quickly, much faster than last time they went to Nightfall City. Moreover, the highest level was just a first-level wizard, and although he couldn’t beat it, he should be able to escape relying on his gravity veins.
Maybe he could give it a try, Angel thought to himself.
Ever since his last trip to the Nightmare Plane, he had been very curious about it. However, thinking about the legendary levels that appeared in the peripheral area of the Nightmare Plane, he felt terrified and didn’t dare to have any involvement with it.
But the area Sanders mentioned this time seemed worth a try.
Just as Angel was thinking about this, Sanders said: “The danger is not those creatures, but… that woman.”
Angel didn’t react for a moment until Sanders gestured towards his back, and Angel suddenly remembered.
That strange woman with a face full of stitches!
At first, in Nightfall City, this woman suddenly appeared at the end, almost leaving Angel behind in the Nightmare Plane. If she appears this time, it would definitely be the greatest danger for Angel.
Seeing Angel’s constantly changing expression, Sanders said: “Actually, this is also a test to see what her attitude is towards you. If she always sees you as a nightmare portal, don’t even think about going to the Nightmare Plane in the future.”
What Sanders said was also what Angel thought. He must face it eventually. This time, if the woman doesn’t appear, your safety is guaranteed.
Thinking of this, Angel already had an idea in his mind: “What does the mentor want me to experiment with?”
“I want to test to what extent your nightmare soul can function between reality and illusion,” Sanders said with an inexplicable glint in his eyes.
Last time Angel went to the Nightmare Plane, except for the notebook that recorded the guiding spell, Angel brought all the things he had with him. Moreover, even if he didn’t bring the guiding spell in physical form, Angel remembered the guiding spell in his mind, and he wasn’t affected too much compared to Sanders, who forgot everything after coming out.
This time, what Sanders tested was also related to this matter.
For example, can Angel bring things into the Nightmare Plane? Can he bring things out of the Nightmare Plane, and are there any restrictions on the things he brings out?
Of course, bringing things back from the Nightmare Plane to the Wizarding World is the greatest benefit of going to the Nightmare Plane. However, if he can bring things into the Nightmare Plane, the benefits will be multiplied infinitely.
For example, bringing magic rune scrolls, alchemy weapons, space items, or even mysterious objects into the Nightmare Plane, with support, the harvest would definitely be much greater! However, Sanders has never brought anything into the Nightmare Plane, so he can only pin his hopes on Angel.
Angel didn’t know why Sanders chose to test at this time, but he must have his reasons.
After thinking about it, he nodded in agreement: “We can try, when should we go?”
Sanders: “The day after tomorrow.”
