I will go, Sunders answered instead of mentioning Angor.

Maybe hes dead? Flora rolled her eyes.

Her words attracted Leona, who gladly joined their conversation. Angors what now?

Missing. Sunders looked at Leona.

Yeah yeah, missing, Flora quibbled, into a random plane pa.s.sageway. Oh, and he doesnt know any coordinates.

Tsk. He came to Brute Cavern last year, right? Leona shook her head. Hes probably still a level-1 apprentice now.

A level-1 apprentice who was lost in an unknown plane pa.s.sageway As anyone would believe, death was the only possible outcome.

Now your request doesnt seem too bad to me. Leona winked at Sunders charmingly. Sunders asked her to give Angor lessons. Now that Angor might be dead

So you agreed after all? Good, so I dont have to force you, Sunders replied coldly.

Lecturing a dead boy for a hundred hours isnt a big deal. Heck, you can ask me to give him a thousand and Id agree too. Leona didnt seem worried at all.

Remember your words. Again, hes missing.

Leona didnt argue with Sunders further. It was Flora who sounded her opinion next when she asked, Youre sure Angors fine, professor?

Hes not qualified as my student if he dies this easily.

As always, n.o.body could really understand how this gentlemans brain worked. Well, maybe Flora could catch the drift just a little.

I see. Flora nodded.

Do you hope to see him dead? Sunders looked her way.

No I do want him to come back. The kids good at alchemy, right? We need someone like that. I happen to have something he could help with.

Sunders lips twitched a little, but he didnt add anything else.

Before Leona could ask further, the mirror barrier in the sky suddenly s.h.i.+fted and revealed a hot-looking woman in a long, blue dress, along with her sharp giggling that echoed around everyones ears.

Leona quickly swallowed her question back down. She couldnt say anything even if she wanted to since Rein Mute had fully exerted his silence aura. Apart from several wizards, everyone on the scene could no longer move or talk.

Samantha Reins usually calm expression showed a tiny bit of suppressed excitement. Its been a hundred years. So, you finally did it?

Samantha slowly landed on the ground. Her long black waterfall-like hair stopped in front of her breast. Her blue dress added with her crystal lips made her look both alluring and distant.

Samantha scoffed at Rein, Ive always wanted to follow the steps of Mister Phantom. And I cant fall too far behind. Now enough about me, my dear dad. You appear a lot different than last time old, I mean.

Samanthas sharp words sank into Reins heart.

Surely youre powerful enough to repair your looks? Samantha floated around Rein, and she finally stopped in front of Sunders and tapped at the gentlemans chest with her crystal-blue fingernail. Dont tell me you decided to learn from this nutskull and let time do its wonder to your face? Or is it because you felt bad for abandoning me?

Sunders didnt let the woman finish her taunt. He pushed her away. Im not interested in broken gla.s.s.

Samantha steadied herself and looked back at Sunders with a grim look.

She planned to make a scene in front of her father and gain an advantage, but she forgot to consider a certain party buster among the group.

Is this how you greet an old friend? Samantha smoothened her hair without lifting her malevolent expression.

Sickening, as always. Sunders lowered his top hat and looked at Rein Mute. Lets get down to business, Mister Rein. I still have other plans later.

Rein Mute simply sighed. He knew the gentlemans temperament. Sunders was already doing him a big favor by showing up.

Let us begin. Rein gave Samantha an apologetic look.

You can pretend all you like. That was what Samantha said against her fathers courtesy.

Then she turned to Sunders again. My teacher waited for your gravity garden for a long time. Dont displease him by dragging it longer. You MUST come with me this time!

Sunders didnt seem interested at all. I think Mister Monkey is well prepared, and to wait for a little more wouldnt hurt. Im just there to help with smuggling, not anything important.

Then at least tell me when are you going to Abyss? Or where are you heading to next? I need to find you so that I have something to tell my professor.

Im going to Floating Mech City next. As for Abyss I cant tell you.

The Thousand Spirit Garden is on, Rein interrupted them before Samantha could protest again. Come, Samantha.

A fissure appeared in the center of Tree Spirit Plaza. From the sudden entrance, they could hear the lively chirping of birds.

Samantha gave Sunders a hateful glare and walked into Thousand Spirit Garden, a place she was most familiar with. But she had not come here for a century now.

Rein followed her to the entrance. Sunders, come with me. The rest of you, guard this place.

Sunders nodded and followed suit.

When the three wizards disappeared from everyones view, the silent aura covering their bodies finally vanished. Leona stretched her arms and rested her head on Floras smooth shoulder in a lazy manner.

See? Your teachers just a dumdum. He has zero reaction when Samanthas trying to get to him! Werent they like really good friends in Brute Cavern a hundred years ago? I thought they would develop something better. But not like this. Well, I guess people all have different fates. Following Mister Monkey, Samantha is now a level-2 truth finder wizard She has a really bright future.

Flora giggled in her signature, eerie way. Youre wrong about that one. Hes not dumb. He can see clearer than anyone else.

Suppose hes going to find a partner, she should be someone who can keep up with him on the path of truth. Samantha? Shes not good enough.

While they talked, on a giant leaf of Tree of Eternity, well above Tree Spirit Garden, a young man in a white robe looked at the fissure entrance excitedly.

Finally The end of his word was p.r.o.nounced in a strange, upturned way. It seemed he was holding back a lot of emotions.

He closed his eyes and thought about a number of different people.

He then reopened his eyes. There were streams of red tears of blood coming from his eyes. He silently turned away and walked toward the Tree Spirit Palace with a long, slim object that displayed a b.l.o.o.d.y aura in his hand.

Inside Ice Cave, which was located on floor B5 in Dark Castle.

Angor had spent a full day preparing all plans and designs for his work.

His final decision was to craft an ear stud in the shape of a feather.

He was going to use micro illusions to place illusion nodes in the item and allow the items user to trigger the illusion with mana.

It wasnt a difficult attempt. The product was probably a simple, tiered item.

However, Angor found it harder than he imagined when he actually got down to work. The process proved to be more complicated than Gondola.

He had no problem weaving an illusion into an item or even more than one. However, Greya requested touch and feel, which meant he had to blend nightmare illusion in the item as well.

For Journey in Heaven, he used emotion controls and energy that triggered someones memory to help the illusion look more touching. Still. the clouds and floating island werent real.

What he had to do now had to be better than Journey in Heaven.

He failed many times while trying to fuse nightmare illusion with alchemy.

He wasnt sure if it was natural for nightmare illusions and alchemy works to be exclusive to each other. The Mystery of Nightmare Domain didnt contain relevant information since neither Sunders nor Flora knew alchemy.

He felt stumped. It was so easy to deploy a nightmare illusion or make it last longer. He just created one for Flowey not long ago.

But he didnt know how to put such a thing permanently into an object and allow it to activate at free will.

He tried shrouding the feather ear stud under nightmare aura.

At first, the illusion created this way worked fine. As long as there was enough mana support, it would last for years.

But once the illusion was canceled, the nightmare aura would disappear completely, which would then make the illusion fake when the item was used for a second time.

Increasing the amount of nightmare aura used on the item or changing the orientations of illusion nodes didnt help him make any progress.

After spending several more days without succeeding, he could only give up using nightmare aura for now.
