Warlock Apprentice

Angel looked over and found that Greya pointed to a fragmentary land; beneath the rubble, a blood-stained boot was faintly visible.

Maybe someone was trapped under the rubble.

This clue, Angel, as the illusion creator, definitely noticed it. He also observed carefully but found nothing unusual about this boot. The only thing noteworthy was perhaps the boot’s craftsmanship was rather ancient, rough in both material and leather tanning, reminiscent of old-time methods.

Besides the boot clue, Greya also found several clues like a long-nosed animal that had fallen, along with a piece of human bone tumbling into the crevice.

These clues were quite evident, Angel had seen them as well. He even located information about the long-nosed animal; a common herbivore living in temperate regions. This animal is widely distributed, thus making it hard to ascertain its exact geographical location.

As for the piece of human bone, it’s impossible to identify, nor does it provide any clues.

Angel thought the potion cauldron might be the most useful clue; then Greya spoke: ”I’ve found something else that seems anomalous, but I’m not sure it’s a clue, you can determine that yourself.”

With that, Greya pointed to the sky in the image.

Angel looked without much expectation but saw Greya pointing not to the gigantic eye in the sky but to the skyline that appeared like blood mist or fading clouds.

This area was not identified as abnormal during Angel’s construction.

Why did Greya suddenly point here?

”Look closely, at the edge of this cloud-like area, is there a tinge that slightly differs in red?” Greya pointed to the edge of the sky.

Angel looked closely, quickly locating the spot Greya mentioned.

Yes, it’s indeed there!

The entire skyline is red, though unevenly distributed, yet this unevenness transitions with a noticeable gradient.

What Greya marked is different.

The sky’s red is crimson, slightly darkened like remnants of blood.

But the spot Greya indicated is bright red, almost fluorescently vivid.

Both are red, but transitioning from crimson to bright red with no gradient is what makes Greya’s observation peculiar!

Angel continued observing this bright red region quietly, attempting to probe the anomaly’s significance behind it.

No clues emerged initially until he gradually outlined the shape of the bright red region in his mind...
