The people following behind also noticed Angor’s change in behavior. They also gave up being all cautious and walked just about ten meters behind Angor without bothering to conceal their arrogant and violent looks on their faces.
Angor noticed four people. Also, he recognized them since he saw these people in the participant waiting room at Level 1, which also meant they were merely level-1 apprentices at best. Angor grew more confident.
Upon reaching Apprentice Town Eight, Angor headed to the woods near the town rather than his villa. He had to fight them anyway, so he might as well pick somewhere vacant.
The Mirror World might look like a small paradise to outsiders… on condition that people only stayed low-profile for their entire lives.
The Tree Spirit Garden was never a safe place. Apprentices fought among each other very often; to live or die could be determined by a simple decision. Every inch of the ground might be hiding the corpse of someone beneath.
Angor walked fast, and so were the four people stalking him. Angor even heard them discussing how to divide their loot after killing him.
Disorder. The true side of Brute Cavern.
After entering the woods, Angor was soon surrounded by the stalkers.
“Baron Milk, eh? Give us your alchemy weapon, and we MAY consider sparing your life.”
The speaker was a bearded man wearing a bandanna. A hound with white and yellow coat crouched at his heel.
There was a hot-looking woman who had a laced, folded fan in her hand. When talking, the two giant objects in front of her chest area flipped up and down like two overfilled water balloons.
“Hey, handsome… I really like that weapon. So… pretty please?”
The last two people were twins. One of them wore his standard black robe, while the other was in a white one. They looked almost identical apart from some small details. The man in the white robe had an ocean-colored earring, while the black-robed man wore a flame-colored one.
“Your weapon is so good on my big brother. I’ll use it as his birthday present tomorrow,” said the white-robed twin.
“Your weapon is so good on my little brother. I’ll use it as his birthday present tomorrow,” said the black-robed twin.
“Big bro!”
“Little bro.”
The twins looked at each other affectionately.
“To hell with you all. Come and get me if you want,” said Angor. He did not intend to waste any breath on these people or learn anything about who they were.
Angor signaled at something. A swift shadow descended from the sky and rushed at the bearded hound user in a blink of an eye.
At the same time, a number of golden arrows came from Angor’s sleeve in a shower of light beams.
“Why you—”
That was the only thing the hound user managed to say before the black shadow tore his throat open. He fell dead on the ground, along with his dog.
Naturally, it was Toby who just displayed the perfect combo attack with Angor.
Toby did not rest after its attempt. The bird used the corpse of the hound user as a leaping stone and shot himself toward the sexy woman next.
Angor left Toby to its own job. His targets were the twin brothers in front of him. His instinct told him that these two were harder to deal with.
Under the attacks of countless golden arrows, the brothers held each other’s hands tightly like a pair of newly-married couple. Under Angor’s troubled gaze, a fire wall came from the elder brother’s body while a water wall came from the younger brother. The two conflicting elements somehow existed in harmony and fused into one.
The golden arrows could only pierce the first layer of the fused barrier and were completely bounced away by the second.
“Brothers of one mind! Water & Flame Barrier!”
“Brothers of one mind! Water & Flame Barrier!”
Angor felt really uncomfortable when he heard the brothers yelling in unison. Seriously, why would people announce the names of their skills like that anyway?
He did not stop his action though. He still had two hundred bolts. There was no way that the barrier could hold on forever.
The twins needed their mana to sustain the barrier while Angor simply needed to move a finger. “Let’s see who’s gonna give up first.”
As Angor released his arrows continuously, a woman’s scream came from behind, along with the booming noise of an explosion.
Angor glanced away. The twins also spared some effort the check out the battle in the other direction.
They saw the hound user already dead, and the sexy woman was pushed into the ground by a black shadow. The explosion was caused by the woman’s body when it broke the ground open.
“What’s that? Baron Milk’s familiar? What’s the deal with that strength?!” The white-robed twin exclaimed in shock.
“I saw it, little brother!” The black-robed twin yelled.
“It’s a bird!” They both shouted.
Angor, on the other hand, felt as if he was watching a drama display.
The water-and-flame barrier created by the twin brothers was quite sturdy, and Angor could not penetrate it. Toby already finished its own fight really fast. The bird was now rushing toward the brothers like another bolt.
“This is bad, little brother. My mana is spent!”
“Me too!”
As Toby was about to reach the barrier, someone else suddenly spoke in a puzzled tone.
“To—Toby??”
Toby halted in the air and along with Angor, they looked at who just called his name.
They saw a young man with a pockmarked face, who was wearing a pair of goggles over his forehead. The young man was carefully following behind another middle-aged, elegantly-dressed man, who had just emerged from a narrow path in the woods.
“Dave?” Angor realized who had come.
It was Dave who just called Toby. Angor did not recognize the middle-aged figure beside him.
The appearance of Dave distracted Angor and Toby’s attention on the twin brothers.
“Master Prome? The alchemy weapon of Baron Milk was made by Master Prome?”
It seemed the twins knew the identity of the man. They quickly exchanged a look and nodded at the same time.
“Run!”
They ran in opposite directions. One toward the depth of woods while the other headed outside the woods.
When Angor noticed their actions and looked back, they were already at a good distance away. Toby pointed a wing at them and asked Angor if it should chase them.
Angor considered for a bit and shook his head in the end.
