Warlock Apprentice

But Angel was different. For any Talented One in the Illusion Series, the very first lesson upon entering the gateway of Illusion Techniques was: distinguish between reality and illusion.

Only if you yourself can discern the real from the false can you grasp the hearts of others within an illusion, weaving between truth and falsity to achieve victory over your enemy.

In fact, the memory space constructed by the red-robed wraith was very close to reality, with barely any flaws visible. The only shortcoming was that she could have constructed any space, yet she chose to build one from Angel’s memories.

If one couldn’t even break through their own memories, then Angel would be unworthy of being called an Apprentice of the Illusion Series.

Angel easily discerned the truth from the false, and moreover, he regained control over his physical body from the illusion at an incredibly fast pace.

In a fictitious space, the most challenging thing is to find reality.

For example, when you are dreaming, your thoughts are deeply enmeshed within the dream. Although you are still you, can you control and move your physical body? That’s obviously difficult. It’s only possible to regain control of your body once you wake up from the dream.

Just like in the current situation, as long as one finds reality in a fictitious space, the illusion is essentially broken.

And the control over Angel’s physical body represented that reality. As long as he held onto this Origin Point, he naturally discovered the breakthrough to escape the red-robed wraith’s power, and successfully broke free from the fictitious space.

Even though he escaped from the space created by the red-robed wraith, he was not yet completely safe because he faced the siege from other undead…

Angel could have chosen to open the door and leave this place, but he didn’t, because he always felt that Princess Gumman wouldn’t leave so easily.

Even now, not knowing where she was, Angel was certain that what Princess Gumman wanted was his death, as well as the Samsara Overture, so it was impossible for her to leave. It was very likely she was observing him from the shadows.

If Angel chose to open the door and leave, he would find it very difficult to track down Princess Gumman’s whereabouts thereafter.

Angel was caught in a bitter struggle.

The bitter struggle had lasted for quite some time and even if the gigantic undead had not self-destructed, Angel was already finding it somewhat difficult to continue.

Just when Angel had started to consider “opening the door” as an option, the very thing he had been waiting for finally happened—

“Give up your struggle, you have no chance.” Accompanied by a mocking laugh, a cold voice echoed beside Angel’s ear, “Becoming my servant is the luckiest thing for you; I will make you into a Semi-Undead like me, allowing you to have thoughts just like when you were alive… What more could you possibly be dissatisfied with?”

Her voice echoed, unceasingly reverberating around him.

Angel’s gaze slowly drifted, looking around him.

“You want to find me? Impossible. Even if you kill all the undead, you won’t be able to find me. Give up your arrogance, choosing death is your only path.”

Princess Gumman’s voice was ethereal, seemingly coming from all directions, making it impossible to locate the source.

Hidden in the shadows, Princess Gumman watched Angel turning his head incessantly, a colder smirk appearing in her eyes, “No matter what, you can’t escape; there’s only one path left to you—death. Instead of being brutally killed by the undead, wouldn’t it be better to leave a whole and dignified corpse for yourself, finding a nice burial site and ending your life?”

As her words fell, Princess Gumman hidden in the shadows suddenly found that Angel had stopped searching, and his head was facing directly in her direction.

A jolt went through Princess Gumman’s heart, had he discovered her?

But on closer inspective, she found that Angel’s eyes were closed, which slightly relaxed her.

However, at that moment, Angel’s tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.

Princess Gumman noticed a green light flashing through Angel’s right eye, followed by his lips curving up ever so slightly.

Princess Gumman’s eyes suddenly widened when she saw a door appear in front of Angel, and the next second, a voice reached her ears.

“Found you.” Angel’s voice rose playfully, half teasingly and half mockingly, he softly said.

Princess Gumman sharply turned her head, and Angel was suddenly there at her side.
