It meant that in the face of an enemy’s attack, he could respond more quickly.
And this was just the initial effect after the strengthening of Angel’s physical body. If, in the future, he underwent systematic training, Angel could not imagine how strong his physical body would become.
The surprise in Angel’s heart was but a fleeting moment, and when he noticed Greerwu’s shivering shoulders, Angel’s right eye narrowed… He seemed to have felt something odd about his right eye just then.
Was it the right eye that caused Greerwu’s fear? It seemed that not only the body had changed, but the right eye’s transformation was also mysterious.
Angel did not delve into it for the time being but instead let his fringe fall to cover the right eye.
“He cannot die now,” Angel said quietly, aware that Greerwu harbored hatred towards Popota. He himself was also dissatisfied with Popota’s behavior, but he could not let Popota’s soul be controlled by the Lord of the Abyss at this time.
“Whatever grievances there may be, I don’t wish to resolve them now,” Angel went on, “The anomaly of this land must have caught the eyes of others by now. We must leave this place as soon as possible, and talk about other matters later.”
Angel’s words finally calmed Greerwu’s shaking a little.
“I didn’t intend to kill it, I only wanted to teach him a lesson,” Greerwu said in a low voice, not daring to look up: “Alright, I understand.”
Greerwu subconsciously took the store owner’s words as an order, but he overlooked the doubt that had risen in his heart before: how could the store owner possibly withstand his attack with his strength?
Aoluxiya, on the other hand, had noticed this point, but it was sealed by the Primeval Flame, and dispersing its voice would consume its Soul Force. It wasn’t a big deal anyway. There were many secrets on Angel, and it didn’t bother to remind Greerwu. Besides, deep down, Aoluxiya also harbored some wariness towards Angel.
After securing Greerwu’s promise, Angel breathed a sigh of relief. He did not wish to stir any waves at this moment.
At this time, Popota also slowly got to his feet. Although he looked better with a human shape and less confusion in his eyes, maintaining clarity, the distortion in his organs was still apparent and one could hardly see the previous sunshine and handsomeness in him.
Because Popota was stark naked, Angel casually threw a black cloak towards him. After catching it and expressing thanks, he put it on.
With the cloak, he looked considerably more normal. Moreover, the cloak was inscribed with a purging Magic Pattern to remove the stench from Popota’s body.
After donning the cloak, Popota stood behind Angel.
“Angel, why are you still holding that?” Popota’s gaze, through the cloak, turned to the object in Angel’s hand.
In Angel’s hand was a delicate statue, the very token of the Cruel Scholar.
It was when Angel bent to pick up the statue that Greerwu thought he saw an opportunity to attack Popota.
“An agreement that cannot be neglected,” Angel sighed, pocketing the statue. With the green Pattern on it, the Cruel Scholar couldn’t sense him, “Let’s not talk about trivial matters for now, the most urgent thing is to leave this place.”
Once the will of the Abyss outside withdrew, surely a large number of powerful entities would come, and by then it would be too late to escape.
Angel looked at Popota: “You led us here, so you should know where this is, right?”
Not only did Angel look at Popota, but Greerwu also turned his gaze.
Popota gave a bitter smile and shook his head, “I don’t know either. With disasters occurring frequently in the Void, I could only wander blindly following some coordinates given by the Lord of the Abyss… I don’t know much about this place. When I set up the altar earlier, apart from wanting to sacrifice Aoluxiya, I also wanted to obtain information about this place from the Lord of the Abyss.”
Popota couldn’t possibly lie at this point; he truly had no idea.
With no leads, Angel could only turn his gaze to Greerwu.
Greerwu was still angry at Popota’s mention of “sacrificing Aoluxiya” but when he noticed the store owner’s gaze, he belatedly said: “I’ll ask Lord Aoluxiya, it should know.”
