There was no proof of it yet. However, before such proof was found, people chose to accept this deduction. “Dimension” was a commonly used tool when people could not understand something. For instance, when unable to comprehend what “Nightmare Realm” was, people considered it as another dimension. At the same time, they considered the special rule of time in Nightmare Realm as another property of the dimension.
Everything that could not be explained was put aside in this way, just like how ancestors regarded all natural phenomena as the works of gods.
As Angor gladly enjoyed Ness’ lesson, he suddenly sensed a strange emotion ripple.
“So beautiful… Baron Milk, no, Angor! You know, your soul is beyond beautiful! Oh… how I want to kill you. No! I must wait! Just a bit longer! When you’re ripe, your soul shall be mine! As my third star!”
It was a frenzied and willful emotion.
The owner of the emotion was so obvious. Saka was still acting all silent in the illusion. However, his shifting expression and the strong trains of thought were clearly sensed by Angor.
“Yeah… He knows who I am.” Angor sighed in his mind. “And I was right. He’s planning to kill me and claim my soul.”
“What’s the matter?” Sunders noticed Angor’s unusual look.
“Is the light affecting you? Just hold on for a moment,” Ness looked up at Sunders’ words and also saw Angor’s strange expression.
Angor only shook his head.
Sunders followed Angor’s gaze and looked at the illusion he created.
“You sensed his emotion?”
Angor was surprised a little. He only glanced at Saka briefly, and Sunders already caught his idea!
“Yes, professor,” Angor decided to tell the truth.
“And not a friendly one, I assume?” Sunders raised an eyebrow.
“Perhaps…” Angor gave a neutral answer this time.
“So… Sunders was right when he told me that your soul can sense the emotions of people?” Ness spoke.
Angor was unsure about this. He did not sense anything from Sunders and Ness. He probably would not have sensed Saka either, if the pervert did not just display a very strong idea.
“Tell me what’s on his mind,” Ness pointed to the illusion. “He’s always doing weird things and doesn’t tell me anything about them. As his teacher, I’m getting a bit worried.”
“You sure you want to know, sir?” Angor asked.
“Is it something dirty? But the kid always knows how to behave. He never laid a finger on a single woman in the valley. Is he pretending it?”
“It’s not… dirty.”
“What then?”
“He’s waiting to find a chance to kill me when you’re not around. Oh, and he wishes to do it in a ritual and elegant way, maybe killing me while I’m smiling.”
Both Sunders and Ness remained silent.
Ness laughed it off in embarrassment. “Looks like Saka respects you! You know, he wants to give you a good death.”
Respect my ass! Angor cursed in his mind.
“Did he say why he wants you dead though?” Ness asked again.
Angor shrugged. “I’m not sure. Something about making my soul into his third star.”
“I see! He has a pretty good taste then. I’m looking forward to it.”
Angor thought Ness could at least prevent it from happening since Sunders was right here.
On the contrary, the old man did not mind Saka’s vicious plan at all, if not supporting it.
“Grow stronger and try not to get killed too easily. Don’t worry, if you’re dead, I’ll take your soul away. Nightmare Forms are very valuable in this world,” Sunders spoke along.
Angor was speechless now. So they only wanted his Nightmare Form…
Angor was sure that Sunders did wish him to get strong as an apprentice. At the same time, if Angor would die for some reason, Sunders would not mind taking his soul as a test subject.
Angor felt that his relationship with his teacher was both close and contradictory. More importantly, such a strange relationship was very realistic in this world.
He shook his head and decided not to get troubled by the idea.
“Now, try to sense my emotion,” Ness suddenly spoke to Angor.
“I can’t. I can feel nothing from Mister Ness and Professor.”
“Remove your spirit barrier and lower your energy flow to the same level of an apprentice,” Sunders suggested.
Ness complied and asked Angor to try again.
