Chapter 987: One Trouble After Another

Sennefer stayed behind and looked at the giant base ahead, wandering whether she should come here at all.

Then she looked at Madelyne and Brofen, who were walking together.

She knew that these two people came to find the same person, but with different intentions. Although she was not going to mind their business.

Well, maybe I should tell Sunders to leave Madelyne be. They came from the same organization after all. Sennefer muttered, before speaking to Brofen, Brofen, come with me and speak to Samantha first. Your plan can wait.

Next, she turned to Madelyne. I wont stop you from whatever youre doing. But try not to cause too big a problem at the Overwatch Base. You should know how hard it is to keep everything peaceful.

Madelyne flashed a scornful smile. Wasnt it the Moonfrost Union who started this sh*t in the Abyss?

Maybe. What can you do about it? Even Mister Rein of Brute Cavern is waiting for Mister Monkey to return.

Monkey was challenging the level of legendary by coming to the Abyss. If he succeeded, other powerful wizards like Rein Mute would soon follow suit, regardless of what kind of disaster their actions might cause.

Madelyne spat and flew toward the base without minding Sennefer.

Sennefer looked at the last wizard remaining, which was Vifet.

The old man was thinking about something on his own with a sly smile.

Vifet, you

Hold it. Im not a troublemaker, mind you. Rest a.s.sured, Ill not dawdle in the base for too long. Im going into the deeper levels.

Then you should be very careful. You know how the Abyss is like right now.

They left in different directions, after which Dokibell also strolled back into the forest to catch some much-needed beauty sleep, after so many days of walking.

Following Sunders lead, Angor moved through the complex pa.s.sages inside the base.

Most of the structure was built out of solid concrete and steel beams, which made the whole building appear like something taken out of modern movies. Though Angor wasnt in the mood to admire the architecture right now, because the dangerous aura on Sunders was returning.

A moment later, they entered a study much like those used by Sunders.

Angor saw his professor sitting down and looking at him with a pair of scrutinizing eyes that could almost reach the depth of his soul.

Before everything, tell me, what happened to your right hand?

When studying uh, a new subject, I met with him, again.

He didnt need to explain who him was.

A new subject, huh?

Sunders rubbed his left temple as he felt a headache again, which was no longer surprising when dealing with Angor. Judging from how many horrifying secrets Angor had brought him until now, such as making Mystery items and manifestation of Mystery, he was well prepared to hear another stupefying awe.

Hold up. Just hold up. Lets see. The incident at Devils Water that got the whole wizarding world pumped up. Dont tell me you caused it. Sunders thought about the biggest event he could remember recently.

Devils Water? Which one are you referring to, sir?

Hes involved in more than one trouble?! Sunders inner self yelled madly.

Ahem. Do you know the treasure hunt at Silver Palm Isle? Somebody said that a slippery thief of some sort stole the Mystery item everyone was looking for. Are you that thief, perchance?

No! If I have something so dangerous on me, do you believe I can make it back to the Fey Continent, hitch a ride with the Moonfrost Union, and come to you in one piece?

Alright. Point taken.

G.o.d of Seas Flunza was there to watch it happen. Sunders didnt believe Angor had what it took to escape under Flunzas nose even though Angor had been quite talented in hide-and-seek. Besides, n.o.body had discovered any trace of the thief as of now. An apprentice couldnt stay hidden from the entire world like that.

Sunders calmed his mind, only to get choked by what Angor had to say next.

I didnt take the item. But-but I, um, accidentally stumbled into that dark dimension before everyone did

Yooooou

I shouldve never trusted this little devil!

Sunders suddenly remembered the first time they met in Barbies Restaurant, when Angor appeared like a humble, kind child that fitted the image of a great academician.

Academician my boot! This monsters several times worse than Sumesh and Flora combined!

Now he thought about it, he never felt so frequently angered before, until Angor showed up.

He took several deep breaths and persuaded himself not to quit and leave Angor to whatever mischief that awaited.

Now, tell me, was that how you b.u.mped into the blond stranger and caused your right hand to further grow?

Under Sunders antic.i.p.ating look, Angor slowly shook his head.

Crack!

The armchair Sunders was using became arm-less because of the gentlemans uncontrolled grasp.

Okay, okay Sneaking into the dark dimension wasnt satisfying enough. I should have known.

Sunders decided not to ask what else Angor prepared for him so that he wouldnt get a heart attack too soon. He wished to solve problems one at a time.

What exactly did you do at Silver Palm?

Trust me, sir, the treasure has nothing to do with me

Angor was startled into silence when the view around him suddenly changed. They were still in a study, but a different one. And he recognized this outdoor studyit was Sunders Gravity Garden.

Sunders personal room in the Overwatch Base was already warded. But he wasnt sure whether it was enough to prevent powerful prophets from listening in, so he brought Angor here.

Go on. Sunders found another seat.

As I said, it was an accident. It all started from a strange s.h.i.+p I found at Devils Water

In detail, Angor explained his voyage back to the Old Earth, along with everything he came across along the way, especially the strange logbook and the predictions left behind by Lucas.

By following the predictions, he came to the strange teleportation array under a dried-up well and ended up at the dark dimension.

I didnt forget the Undead Reversal Project you told me to keep up, sir. In the secret dimension, I captured Torras and successfully brought him back. Unfortunately, he lost that handy teleport ability upon regaining his sanity. I dont know Maybe this is to be expected when you cleanse the undead?

Sunders did not say anything.

Torras is the only thing I took from that place, sir. Honest. I have no idea where that Mystery item went.

Sunders was glad that he saw Angor was being truthful.

According to Angor, the teleportation array was hidden at mortal land for thousands of years without any form of protection. Somehow, Angor discovered it when no one else did.

Was it pure luck, or the work of the Mystery treasure? And Angor, dont you even mention this to anyone else. I dont need to remind you of it, right?

Sunders found it to be a great pity that Angor failed to retrieve such a powerful item that might even manipulate the future. But again, Angor would have no chance of taking it away if he did find it.

Do you have this Torras person with you?

Angor nodded and released Torras from the Church of the Deceased.

Torras panicked a little when seeing the sudden change of environment. But when he saw Angor nearby, he sighed in relief.

Mister Padt! Please! Send me back to Foundation City! I need to finish up business with that a*shole. He ruined my name!!!
