Chapter 1126: Section 1127: The Strange Shadow Mist Area

The Shadow Mist Area noticeably differed from the light outside.

The light that reached inside was scarce, verging on non-existent, which formed a stark contrast with the outside world, a darkly lit region. Moreover, there seemed to be fleeting shadows within, though it was unclear what they were.

Angel listened intently but still couldn’t catch any sounds coming from the Shadow Mist Area, as if it was completely isolated from the outside world.

It made Angel think of Other-dimensional Space.

“Is it not usually like this here?” Angel turned to Canaan.

Canaan nodded and said, “In the ten years I’ve been mingling in Lassudral, this has never happened before. This is the first time… Maybe something unexpected has occurred inside?”

Canaan was well aware that Angel wouldn’t know the specifics, so his gaze slipped toward Fafnir. Before the Illusionary Realm took shape, Fafnir had been watching the show. Perhaps Fafnir had noticed something amiss with the darkly lit area surrounding the Void Tower long ago.

Angel also directed his gaze at Fafnir, but he didn’t quite grasp the significance of the issue; his curiosity was merely getting the better of him.

“The anomaly here appeared when Nitotipu went to rescue the skies,” Fafnir stated indifferently. “This darkly lit area, termed the Shadow Mist Area by nearby demons, began spreading from the Void Tower. As for the situation inside the Shadow Mist Area, I do not know. Many demons have entered, none have emerged…”

That being said, Fafnir had previously manipulated a wisp of wind to enter the Shadow Mist Area, but as soon as the wind entered, it lost connection immediately. It seemed as if some force shackled the Wind Element.

Fafnir hadn’t paid it much attention at the time, and she was quite clear that even if the wind had successfully entered the Shadow Mist Area, it definitely wouldn’t have been able to penetrate the Void Tower. Therefore, Fafnir subsequently focused her attention on the storm clouds and disregarded the Shadow Mist Area until now, when she once again turned her gaze toward it.

“Shall we go in for an investigation?” Angel asked.

Fafnir gave Angel a cold glance, “I don’t mind, as long as you won’t regret it.”

Me, regret it? Angel hadn’t understood what Fafnir meant at first, not until Fafnir manipulated the wisp of wind into the Shadow Mist Area…

After a while, a pitiful scream echoed from the courtyard of the Misty Cabin.

From the crossroads not far away, Kanter furrowed his brows and asked Samantha, “Did you hear something?”

Samantha nodded, “It sounded like a scream, but it’s no big deal. It would be more surprising to not hear screams in Lassudral.”

Kanter pondered with a nod, feeling the scream sounded as though it came from the direction of Scorched Earth, where the Misty Cabin was located… Just as Kanter was contemplating whether it was Angel who had screamed, a series of “tap tap tap” footsteps came from the main road shrouded in white smoke.

Kanter immediately shelved his wandering thoughts and, along with Samantha, went on alert as they looked towards the source of the noise.

——With a swirl of smoke, a woman with frosty hair and fiery eyes, cloaked in flames, approached through the mist.

At that moment, in the courtyard of the Misty Cabin, Angel was clutching his head, letting out a wrenching scream. His Spirit Sea roiled violently, agonizing pain constantly emanating from deep within his brain.

Only after a good while did the pain gradually stabilize. Despite his recovery, Angel still sat on the bench, panting heavily with exhaustion seeping through his body.

Once Angel caught his breath, his first words were, “That was a huge loss!” But his second sentence was, “Toby, where’s Toby?”

“The Icebound Hex is with me,” Canaan quickly said. Angel had begun to scream suddenly and shook uncontrollably, losing his grip on the Icebound Hex, so Canaan had taken over. Now, seeing that Angel seemed a bit better, he used a soft arm made of water to hand the Icebound Hex back to Angel.

After ensuring that Toby was safe within the Icebound Hex and that Binaqionse’s scales had not encountered any mishaps, Angel finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing Angel’s forehead covered in beads of sweat, Canaan asked with some concern, “Owner, are you alright?”
