After Angel created the illusion, he slumped on the ground tiredly, gasping for breath, his back soaked with cold sweat.
"I didn't expect it would be so difficult to cast an illusion in a nightmare." Angel squeezed almost 90% of the magic power from the source of magic, so he barely set up an illusion, and it was still a very low-level misty illusion.
Angel raised his sweat-stained head and looked at the shadow in the mist. However, he saw that he was spinning around in the illusion, and he had used all kinds of testing methods, but he still couldn't break through the illusion. - Although it is difficult to set up a fantasy world in a nightmare, at least for now, the effect is good.
Arranging the illusion in the nightmare is the method of enemy control recorded by Sanders in "The Mystery of the Nightmare".
The reason why Nightmare Realm is the home of illusion wizards is precisely because in Nightmare Realm, all constructed illusions have the most obvious feature: no illusion nodes! This means that the difficulty of breaking through the illusion has been raised dozens of times!
As for the reason, because the essence of nightmare is actually a special illusion. There are nodes everywhere, and there are no nodes everywhere. Therefore, arranging illusions does not require illusion nodes to carry illusions. The nightmare itself can be used as a carrier.
However, when Sanders described this method in the book, he did not recommend Angel to use it, because Angel's nightmare is not mature, and the space of nightmare is actually very weak. Once the nightmare is used as the carrier of the illusion, then As long as the person he trapped can break through the illusion, it is equivalent to destroying the nightmare.
Nightmare realm is an extremely rare thing, being broken is like a broken mirror, even if it is reunited, there will be cracks.
Therefore, Sanders doesn't mind Angel's use when Nightmare is still immature. But Angel has no other means at present. He originally planned to rely on the parasite in the nightmare realm to control the shadow, but who would have found out that the parasite was in the place where the nightmare realm was full of breath, and there was no parasitic mechanism at all. .
Unless the Nightmare Realm is revoked, the parasite will choose the nearest human body to parasitize. But after the illusion was revoked, there was more than one shadow around, who knew who the parasites would parasitize on.
Therefore, Angel can only give up the uncontrollable factor of parasites, and finally gamble with illusion.
At present, it seems that he has succeeded in the bet, and the shadow has no way to break through the illusion.
Angel breathed a sigh of relief, and while the shadow was trapped, he directed Toby and the monsters in the nightmare realm to continuously attack the shadow. In order to consume the magic power of shadow.
This is a cyclic process, the phantom's attack interacts with the real sneak attack, constantly consuming the shadow's patience.
Shadow also shouted angrily from the beginning: "I'm going to kill you!"
Later, he changed his words to: "Don't come, I can't stand it anymore! Let's talk peacefully?", "You can ask for anything, as long as I can satisfy you, I will definitely satisfy it!"
Angel has never spoken, and now making a request is still an equal transaction. It's better to wait for the shadow to be captured, and then talk about other things.
Angel continued to let Toby harass and attack, and he himself went into deep meditation. The previous layout of the illusion consumes too much magic power and must be made up as soon as possible.
Time just slipped away.
An hour later, Angel recovered most of his magic power.
Shadow, also in this hour, used up almost all the energy in the body. Not only that, he was covered in scars all over his body. He had just used a healing technique to stop the bleeding, and there was a sneak attack on the other side. The floor was full of blood from him. In the case of a lot of blood loss, he is now even a magma salamander. The shape of the salamander could not be maintained.
He regained his human appearance and lay on the ground to survive.
"Damn, today's bad luck, I actually kicked the iron plate!" Shadow cursed in his heart. Today, he has clearly designed everything, relying on these puppets to go straight to the inner world, who knows that a variable has appeared!
For this purpose, Shadow still has the last hole card, but after using this hole card, it is not so simple for him to enter the inner world again. Moreover, his busy work over the years may also be in vain.
Shadow panted heavily: "You damn little white face, do you really want to keep dying?"
Angel now has magic power, and he has recovered a little bit of confidence, so he sarcastically said: "Are you joking? Whoever released the malicious first, I don't need to say it."
"I can apologize and compensate you!"
Angel sneered: "It's too late, I can get what I want by myself."
Shadow: "But what's in my head, can you take it away?"
Angel didn't speak, and Shadow's eyes narrowed slightly: "What do you want? My knowledge? Guidance? Trick? Or news? I can give it to you, as long as you let me go."
Angel still did not speak, and continued to let Toby cooperate with the colorful dragonfly to create more pressure on the shadow.
Shadow gritted his teeth and endured these attacks. Although the abominable bird and the strange dragonfly seemed to be exhausted, their attacks were not as good as before, but as long as he came back a few times, he couldn't hold on any longer. His current source of magic was empty, and he resisted with his physical body, after all, it was not a long-term thing.
Shadow thought for a while, and he simply said: "My mentor is a guest in your organization, do you know who I am talking about? Are you really sure you want to stay with me? I will say it again for the last time, if you want something, I I can make it up to you, otherwise, I would rather give up all these years of hard work and open the last card, and I can't predict what the outcome will be!"
Shadow was ready to explain what he meant by "the last card", but what surprised him was that Angel's focus was obviously not here.
"Your mentor is a guest at our organization? Do you know who I am?"
Doubt flashed in Shadow's eyes: "Aren't you an apprentice of Silent Hill? No, within a thousand miles of the surface world, there is only a wizarding organization in Silent Hill!"
surface world? silent Hill? Angel opened his memory box and searched for a long time, but it seemed that these two nouns did not exist.
Angel kept silent, and Shadow said tentatively, "Are you really not from Silent Hill? Are you from... Castle Black?"
Castle Black? ! Angel's eyes lit up: "You mean Castle Black under Fairy Tale Town?"
Shadow was silent for a moment: "It seems that you are not from Castle Black, and you are not even from the fairy tale world?"
"This is a fairy tale world?" Angel asked rhetorically, representing his acquiescence.
"That's right, this is the fairy tale world. Which organization are you from? Don't tell me you're a savage, I don't believe it." Shadow continued to explore, every word that Angel said flashed in his mind. When I went to the middle, Angel's focus all fell on the location information. The information integrated from these words made the shadow guess: Could it be that he came here unintentionally and did not go through formal procedures? plane channel
The fairy tale world, like the shining world, is a subsidiary plane of the wizarding world. In fact, it is also a part of the wizarding world. Regardless of the season, it is consistent with the wizarding world. However, if you want to enter the subsidiary plane, you still need to go through the plane channel, but the channel of the subsidiary plane is not the crystal wall diaphragm that crosses the border, but there are various ways of expression, which are likely to be just A path, walking and walking to the subsidiary plane; it may also be to open a door, jump into a lake, and enter a well.
The passage of the fairy tale world is the tree hole of a thousand-year-old tree. Jumping into the tree hole, you will come to this fairy tale world with seven continents and boundless seas.
There is a price to pay for entering any subordinate plane from the wizarding world. These costs are all kinds of strange, some require you to sacrifice an extraordinary creature to the subordinate plane, some require you to plant a magic plant in the subordinate plane, and some only require registration procedures. The price of entering the fairy tale world is quite satisfactory, only 10 magic crystals are required.
If the other party handed over the 10 magic crystals, they will get a general map of the fairy tale world stationed in the office outside the tree hole in Fairy Tale Town.
So, is this actually a stowaways? Shadow pondered in his heart.
Fortunately, the subordinate position does not matter to stowaways. As long as you reach the official wizard and walk through the plane, you don't need to go through the regular channel. Therefore, the official wizards are all stowaways.
But this is obviously just a wizard apprentice, how did he enter the fairy tale world? Could it be that there is also a mentor who opens the plane and leads the way
When Shadow was puzzled, Angel also recalled something about the fairy tale world.
The fairy tale world is dominated by the fairy tale town. However, Fairy Tale Town is just a general name, not a single wizarding organization. It is a large wizarding alliance that includes many wizarding organizations. For example, Candy House, an organization that owns more than 50% of the gourmet wizards in the Southern Region, is an organization under Fairy Tale Town. Another example is the colorful forest, the tree of paradise, the black castle...
However, although he knows his position, how to leave is the question before him.
When Angel was thinking, Shadow suddenly said: "Do you remember Kura Kuka who just left? They have the talent to open the door, and now they have gone to the middle world. They can also open the door and come back again."
"What do you mean?"
"It's not interesting, I just want to tell you that even if I don't turn over the cards, I can spread the information here, even to my mentor."
"Are you threatening me?"
"I'm just stating the facts. I can tell you anything you want to know. If you want to leave the fairy tale world, I can also take you out, or give you a map." Shadow said, "As I said earlier , you have shown your strength, and I can give you respect. We have equal talks."
Looking at the dying shadow in the illusion, Angel did not point out that he did not have the value of "equal dialogue". However, looking at his determined face, it seemed that he really had some trump cards to play, which made Angor a little jealous. After all, the other party may be an elite apprentice cultivated by a large organization, and it is not impossible to have any trump cards.
Angel thought for a while: "Why should I trust you?"
"I can swear under the witness of the will of the world." After a pause, Shadow said again: "You can also sign a short-term equality contract."
