Warlock Apprentice

But considering Slipsoil Charnel’s enormous size with such an internally flamboyant demeanor still makes Angel feel a bit of cognitive dissonance.

However, comparing these later examples, Angel realizes that his own answer of liking milk back then doesn’t seem so hard to accept anymore. After all, drinking milk is nothing to be ashamed of.

”That’s roughly the situation, though some turned hostile because they say one thing and mean another. With Nami Midori present, they still gave face.” Sanders commented.

The current progress is decent; most have agreed. Occasionally, a few Lords are overly cautious, not expressing their opinions directly, but they’ve all agreed to proceed to the Fire Elemental Territory for further discussions. As long as they’re willing to talk, there’s a window for further dialogue, so overall it’s moving in a positive direction.

Of course, there are some Element Lords who are clearly against humans, but they are few. Even if they oppose, in the overwhelming tide, they will still have to bow.

”Since you and Lord Rhein have reached the Wild Stone Wilderness, will you head directly to the Fire Elemental Territory next?” Angel asked, planning to return to the Tidal World if they went directly.

Sanders nodded: ”Indeed, we plan to meet the Sage Magu in the Fire Elemental Territory. But you don’t need to rush back, after all, we still have to wait for the Lords from various places to arrive; I’ll notify you when they’re almost there.”

Angel nodded in agreement.

In the following time, Angel and Sanders discussed the state of the relics, the clues found, and tasks assigned by Nis.

Regarding Angel pursuing the truth of the relics, Sanders wasn’t overly concerned, only sighing in regret when he learned that the Night Butterfly Witch might have already died.

Compared to the relics, Sanders was more interested in Angel’s progress in cultivating mirror space.

In response, Angel naturally didn’t hold back.

He shared the entire progress of analyzing mirror space and also mentioned his current troubles.

”Spatial measurement and the layout of Illusion Nodes.” Sanders muttered softly, then said to Angel, ”I can’t offer much advice on this; you still need to study it yourself. However, the spell technique I created, ’Nightmare Substitute,’ involves some spatial applications and the use of nightmare illusions. When you arrive in the Tidal World, I’ll give you some data records on the Nightmare Substitute, which might inspire you.”

The Nightmare Substitute is Sanders’ signature spell technique, capable of creating a Nightmare that breaks through space and even performing a seamless switch with the Nightmare to escape desperate situations.

This spell technique indeed contains spatial abilities, but it doesn’t mean Sanders masters the Space Series with ease.

The reason Sanders could create this spell technique and push the spatial applications of the Nightmare Substitute to the extreme is due to the Bloodline he integrated from the Nightmare Realm: the Dark Gold Nightmare Bloodline. The Dark Gold Nightmare Bloodline naturally grants him a portion of spatial mastery, originating from the bloodline rather than an understanding of the essence of space.

Although over the years, Sanders, with the help of the Dark Gold Nightmare Bloodline, has researched some spatial abilities, these still rely on the bloodline itself and offer Angel little enlightenment.

Everything still depends on Angel’s own research.

”I understand, thank you, Mentor.” Angel solemnly bowed. Although Sanders was only providing data on the Nightmare Substitute, it was already quite remarkable. Because if Angel had any ulterior motives, he could completely find the flaws of the Nightmare Substitute from that data. Sanders’ willingness to share the data with Angel represented a high level of trust. For this reason alone, Angel’s grand gesture was justified.

Sanders accepted the courtesy and said indifferently, ”This is also for myself. I hope to see more research that combines space and illusion techniques.”

Angel: ”I will try my best to study mirror space. It’s just that the speed may not be very fast since it involves the space series.”

Sanders gave Angel a deep look and said with a smile, ”I believe in your speed.”
