Wilderness of Dreams, New City, Rosewater Pavilion.

"Using Simulated Mirror to enhance the effects of Illusion Technique falls within the scope of Basic Illusion Technique," Sanders paused, "However, the ability you spoke of regarding Mirror Grudge involves some aspects of Spatial Abilities, and spatial combined with illusion technique is quite rare."

"After all, the existence that simultaneously possesses spatial and illusion abilities is exceedingly rare."

As Sanders spoke, his eyes flickered, and he lowered his gaze, lifting a cup of cold-brewed black tea from the table, elegantly taking a small sip.

"Indeed, even among Mirror Grudges, those possessing such special mirror space abilities are quite rare, let alone humans," Angel couldn’t help but echo with feeling.

"That being said, I do think you could try practicing similar illusion techniques. Or, by observing the abilities of Mirror Grudge, you might simulate a similar mirror space," Sanders said softly.

"Me? Can I do it?" Angel was a bit unsure of himself.

The Illusion Series and Space Series are entirely different categories; wanting to practice them requires cross-system learning of spatial abilities.

This is quite difficult.

Typically, cross-system practice involves the Mysterious Side and Elemental Side or Bloodline Side, which, although slightly challenging, are related to oneself, so the path to practice is somewhat traceable.

But cross-system practice within the Mysterious Side, especially between two unrelated systems, is very challenging.

Because the Mysterious Side depends on personal talent. Without the talent, forcing oneself to practice often results in minimal success.

Both illusion and space are incredibly complex disciplines, highly reliant on talent, especially for the Space Series, where the entry threshold is astronomically high without relevant talent.

That’s why Angel felt a bit unsure when Sanders suggested he practice similar abilities.

"It’s rare to encounter a Mirror Grudge with such abilities; it’s worth a try," Sanders said, "Who knows, maybe you’ll have ’good luck.’"

Angel looked at Sanders, feeling there was more to his words, yet he couldn’t decipher it.

"Does the mentor mean I have a chance to learn?"

Sanders: "Everyone has a chance; it’s just that the likelihood of success varies. I have high hopes for you, considering you already have a space sorcery, right?"

Angel suddenly understood that Sanders’s earlier words implied The Gate of Void.

Angel managed to fix The Gate of Void in the Witchcraft Slot, which showcased his aptitude for learning spatial abilities in the eyes of other wizards.

Yet only Angel knew The Gate of Void wasn’t his own achievement.

However, he couldn’t disclose the Eye of the Sky and that Strange Space, so he could only reply:

"I’ll do my best to give it a try."

He was already curious about the abilities of Mirror Grudge. He didn’t let Tullas devour Mirror Grudge immediately for that reason. If he could actually simulate the abilities of Mirror Grudge, Angel was willing to give it a shot.

This ability, when properly applied, can be quite indefensible.

"Then I’ll look forward to it, hoping you can bring me some surprises," Sanders finished his words, took a sip of tea, and after savoring for a few seconds, praised, "This black tea tastes quite nice."

In front of Angel was also a cup of tea, specially prepared milk tea.

Although he smelled a faint aroma of milk, he hadn’t touched it yet. Hearing Sanders’s praise, he then took the tea cup and drank it all at once.

Feeling the aftertaste in his mouth, Angel couldn’t help but nod and say, "The taste is indeed very good."

Most importantly, after drinking, Angel inexplicably felt his mood lightened a bit. It was as if he perceived the inner emotions of the tea maker, experiencing relaxation and joy.

As Angel savored the taste, a waiter in his thirties, wearing a black uniform, approached: "Mr. Pat, would you like another cup?"

The speaker was Asaz.

The same "Devil Gourmet" who made a striking impression at the New Star Tournament, targeted by Greya for sacrificing to demons. Although Asaz himself was innocent, Greya wary of the potential future ensnarement by demons, took Asaz under her wing for gradual tutelage.

Upon entering the Wilderness of Dreams today, Angel was surprised to encounter Asaz at the Rosewater Pavilion.

Their tea was prepared by Asaz.

Angel wanted to say "no," but the milk tea was truly delicious, so he finally uttered a "hmm."

As Asaz brewed new tea, Angel noticed a faint smile continually gracing Asaz’s lips.

Recalling the lightened mood after drinking tea, Angel curiously asked, "You seem to be in a good mood?"

Asaz nodded: "Yes, sir."

"Did something good happen? Is it because Greya is preparing to let you go?"

Asaz quickly shook his head: "Lady Greya treats me very well; I’ve never thought about leaving, nor would I find joy in leaving."

Pausing a moment, Asaz continued to brew new milk tea as he spoke: "My good mood is from enjoying over twenty hours of peace... I really like it here."

"You’re saying, that demon hasn’t disturbed you?" Angel referred to the demon Asaz had sacrificed to.

Asaz nodded: "In the past, Sebastian’s voice would appear in my mind at intervals, saying things that troubled me. He’d even probe my mind when I was asleep."

"For example, last time..."

Once Asaz started talking, it was as if he couldn’t close his mouth, babbling on endlessly.

"But ever since I came here, I haven’t heard Sebastian’s voice anymore, and he can’t probe my consciousness, let alone eavesdrop on my heart’s voice."

"So, for me, this place is simply wonderful."

"Sebastian is really too naggy."

Angel silently watched Asaz, wondering if he might have mixed it up. Are you sure it’s Sebastian who’s naggy and not you?
