Time rewinds back to a few minutes ago.
The spotted dog led them into the black fog, taking the lead while the others followed behind. Gloria and the boy now known as Spivey looked at the spotted dog in disbelief. From its confident strides, it seemed to be able to guide them out of the fog, but its appearance and energy waves suggested it was just an ordinary little dog.
Curiosity filled their eyes, but they knew that even if they asked Sanders, they probably wouldn’t get any useful answers. So they held back their curiosity and followed the dog with their heads down.
However, for the outspoken Spivey, although he had managed to contain his curiosity about the dog, he couldn’t help but wonder why Sanders wanted him to become a disciple of Flora.
“Why do you want me to be a disciple of Flora? Being under her tutelage is not as good as being under yours. Even becoming a disciple of Sumesh would be fine. I heard he recently advanced to true knowledge. You know, only wizards with true knowledge can teach me anything useful.”
Sanders coldly replied: “You don’t qualify to be my disciple. As for Sumesh, since he has entered true knowledge, I no longer have the right to decide for him. So, you can only become Flora’s disciple.”
“On what grounds do you say I don’t qualify? I am, after all, a formal wiz…ard.” Spivey’s voice noticeably waned towards the end, dropping several octaves.
“You were once a formal wizard, but now you are just a mortal.” Sanders paused, showing Spivey a meaningful expression. “In the future, when you address people, you better remember your own status.”
After saying this, Sanders ignored Spivey. Spivey stood there for a long time, his face changing colors in a fascinating way. After a while, Spivey managed to grit out: “Well, well, well, turning your back on me! Just you wait and see!”
Sanders’ words had awakened Spivey. With his current strength, if he still maintained his old attitude in the Wizarding World, death would not be far away. The foundation of strength determines the superstructure. Until his personal strength is restored, he should, as Sanders said, recognize his own status, or else he would be the one seeking death when going out.
Moreover, as Sanders’ words fell, Spivey felt a malicious gaze.
It came from a woman above and to the side.
Now he knew her name – Nausica.
Spivey looked back and saw Nausica giving him a sinister smile. She then extended her silvery metallic arm, pointed at him, and made a gesture of slitting her throat. Spivey’s expression changed instantly. He had almost forgotten that he had wanted to take over Nausica’s body! Now, he had become a mortal, while she was a second-level apprentice, and a future companion of the Savage Grottoes. Would he not be living in her shadow?
Thinking of this possibility, Spivey felt a little uneasy.
He thought for a moment and walked up to Nausica with a shy smile, whispering: “Nausica…”
After a while, Spivey finally sighed in relief, parting ways with Nausica with a smile on his face.
At this time, Angel walked over and asked in a low voice: “What did he say to you? You’re smiling so happily?”
Nausica whispered back: “This guy is afraid that I will retaliate. He told me about the Nether Demon Bloodline injection and even gave me the method to increase the success rate…”
Coral, who was listening nearby, couldn’t help but click her tongue twice: “What a coward.”
“It’s called knowing the situation,” Spivey, who had walked away but still had his ears perked up, couldn’t help but interject.
Angel chuckled softly. He knew Nausica’s character very well. Even if Spivey entered the Savage Grottoes, as long as he didn’t actively bother Nausica, she wouldn’t retaliate. There wasn’t even enough time for cultivation; who would care about him?
Moreover, although Spivey had indeed thought about taking over Nausica’s body, it hadn’t succeeded. In contrast, Nausica had genuinely gained an item from Spivey that could potentially change her life’s trajectory: Nether Demon Bloodline.
According to Nausica’s original plan, she would save money for a few years, buy an ordinary bloodline, advance to a formal wizard, and then undergo bloodline refinement. Each of these steps had significant drawbacks, but this was undoubtedly the conventional path for a bloodline lineage wizard.
But now, with the precious Nether Demon Bloodline, her future path would change completely!
Having gained such a significant advantage, Nausica could tolerate Spivey’s malicious behavior from before. She had only gestured the throat-slitting motion to scare him, but Spivey had promptly told her about the “after-sales service” of the Nether Demon Bloodline.
As they were talking, the surrounding black mist became thinner and thinner. Now, it was a faint and pale layer, somewhere between gray and white.
At this time, the spotted dog stopped and sat down obediently, barking twice at Angel.
Although Angel’s Dog Language was at Level 0, he inexplicably understood its meaning.
“We’re here, take a step forward, and you’ll be out of the range of the Dark Domain,” Angel explained.
“I feel like we’ve walked hundreds of meters…” Coral was puzzled: “Is the range of this black mist that wide?”
“Not really, it only takes one step to walk into the black mist from the outside. But it takes a long journey to get out. I guess there might be something like a maze inside.”
“A maze-like magic formation?” Gloria rubbed her temples: “I’ve been memorizing the route the dog has been running, but when we got here, I couldn’t even tell the directions.”
“It’s really a magic formation, and the algorithm for entering and leaving is constantly changing. There’s no way you could remember it,” Sanders said coldly.
“Ugh, don’t tell me you didn’t memorize it either? I noticed just now that your eyes were moving even faster than mine,” Gloria grumbled. Seeing Sanders ignoring her, she whispered to Angel: “Do you know what it means to be introverted? Look, that’s what it is.”
Sanders, sensing the fluctuations in the whisper, walked over emotionlessly and said to everyone: “You all go out first, I have something to discuss with Angel.”
Gloria: “What’s the big secret?”
“It’s none of your business,” Sanders looked at her: “There are a large number of students and even wizards who have been parasitized outside, as well as many parasites. Remember to protect the others.”
Gloria wanted to say: “Why should I?”, but she noticed Sanders’ expression darkening and immediately dared not retort, nodding in agreement. She had already teased Sanders several times today, but she dared to do so because she knew the boundaries between them, joking without causing harm. But if she were to recklessly defy him, not even a hundred of her would dare.
Gloria led the others and stepped out, leaving the Dark Domain behind.
For a moment, only the two of them, the teacher and the student, and a dog remained in the thin mist. – Even Toby had been taken away by Gloria.
Angel: “Mentor?”
Sanders pointed at the spotted dog on the ground: “Can you take it out?”
Angel shook his head. He had tried before, but although the spotted dog had led the way, it seemed unwilling to leave the Dark Domain.
“Then take it out by force.”
Angel hesitated for a moment, went to the spotted dog’s side, picked it up by the back of its neck, and tried to move it outside the white fog. But just as Angel was about to take a step, the dog suddenly blinked, jumped out of Angel’s hand, and squatted nearby, barking at Angel.
Sanders squinted his eyes, aware of the peculiarities of the dog as Angel had mentioned. Although Angel’s guess that it was the Mysterious Object might not be correct, it was undoubtedly related to the Mysterious.
He had to take it away!
Sanders’ primary goal in coming to the Dark Domain this time was to obtain that harp, even resorting to using the Grudge Puppet. However, the cunning fox didn’t give him a chance, running away as soon as it sensed the Mysterious Aura.
This frustrated Sanders to no end.
Now that the Dark Domain was slowly becoming an interstitial space, and Yorkshire, who controlled the interstitial space, was an invincible presence.
It was nearly impossible for him to forcibly seize the mysterious harp in the interstitial space.
Although obtaining the harp was a slim hope, the dog was not a bad target either. Even if the dog’s ownership might eventually go to Angel, it didn’t matter.
Sanders stepped forward, deciding to catch the dog himself. But at that moment, he realized that when the spotted dog faced Angel, its speed was that of an ordinary dog, and Angel could catch it at any time. However, when facing him, it changed its previous weak appearance, becoming incredibly fast, even faintly surpassing Toby and Angel with their Gravity Lines activated, and ran into the white fog in an instant.
At this point, Sanders couldn’t turn back, as finding the dog again to lead the way would not be an easy task.
Just as Sanders was considering whether to bring Angel back to look for the dog, the spotted dog ran back and sat a moderate distance away, squatting and looking at Angel.
“Is this guy playing us?” Sanders’ expression suddenly turned somewhat serious.
Angel didn’t know what was going on with the dog either, calling out “Little Spot” and slowly approaching it, successfully grabbing hold of it.
While stroking its fur, Angel slowly walked back to Sanders.
Angel clearly felt that when he wanted to approach Sanders, Little Spot began to struggle.
Sanders mentally told Angel through their psychic bond: “You just stand there, and I’ll bring it into the Gravity Garden.”
Angel stood still, and Little Spot finally stopped struggling.
Angel waited for the spotted dog to disappear, but after a while, there was still no news from Sanders’ side, and Little Spot obediently stayed in his palm.
After a long time, Sanders shook his head: “It’s no use; this dog is a non-existent entity in relation to the Gravity Garden. I can bring you in, but not this dog.”
With this conclusion, both of them were somewhat at a loss.
It didn’t want to leave and possessed the speed and mysterious abilities to avoid their constraints. Now they were in a difficult situation.
Having tried various methods, the spotted dog was unwilling to leave. As long as it turned and ran into the mist, it could perfectly evade their pursuit.
In the end, even Sanders gave up, not because they lacked strength, but because their opponent was too mysterious, even being the embodiment of the Mysterious itself.
“Forget it, let’s go.”
Sanders and Angel decided to give up capturing and leave directly.
But at that moment, the dog, which had been playing hide and seek with them, suddenly ran up and bit Angel’s trouser leg.
