“Your disciple? You mean… Isabella?” Felicia was shocked. “You’re Isabelle?”
“Venees” nodded.
“She’s Lady Isabelle?” Shadow also yelled through Spirit Bond. “Didn’t she leave the southern wizarding region a long time ago?”
“Felicia… Felicia from Butterfly Tavern?” Angor was more curious about the other presence right now.
“Yeah!” Shadow nodded. “Well I told you about ‘Lady Butterfly’ many times and you didn’t realize who that is?”
Angor never learned about Felicia’s title before. And since Felicia was here…
Did Flowey meet the actual “Warrior Barbie” Greya back down the well?
But Flowey described “Greya” as a tiny girl not much bigger than herself. That sounded way too different than the Greya in Angor’s memory. So did Greya use something to change her shape?
On the other side, Felicia and Isabelle had finished their conversation. Felicia would totally respect this great wizard who created a brand new era for wizards a thousand years ago.
Still, she could not believe that Isabelle really came.
It seemed Isabelle didn’t intend to prove herself either. With another simple gesture, a dark, glowing soul emerged from the ground and tied Felicia’s body up.
Felicia was terrified to realize that she could do nothing to shake free. The presence in front of her was only a soul who possessed a foreign body, which meant the real being actually possessed way more strength.
Upon realizing the gap in their strengths, Felicia chose to stay silent.
Isabelle walked past Felicia and approached Angor. The Mystery energy in Angor’s creation was still leaving for Isabelle.
“You have a peculiar soul…” Isabelle gazed at Angor with a plain look. “It both attracts me and… scares me, just a little. This soul remnant I left in Ice Cave cannot exist much longer. I was planning to observe you and use your body as my host.
“But you actually created something with a Mystery soul inside… Then I will not risk invading your body. I’m taking half of that Mystery soul in exchange.”
Angor had no idea if Isabelle spoke the truth. However, it was obvious that his creation couldn’t retain its true strength now, and he could do nothing about it since a legendary wizard was here.
It was impossible to gain a Mystery item when half of its strength was gone, which meant his opportunity of challenging the title of “Mystery Alchemist” had slipped.
It was unfortunate, but Angor didn’t really feel bad. The great success wasn’t expected at all. It was already a good thing that he didn’t die in that uncontrollable omen.
Finally, Angor’s Mystery soul was cut down to half by Isabelle while Felicia watched everything happening helplessly.
Angor’s new revolver reverted to a common mid-tier item. Before he could examine his creation, Isabelle swiftly took it from his hand.
Angor revealed an irritated look, just briefly. He could only endure the rage because he was in front of a powerful being mighty enough to command a wizard army.
When Angor thought he had to say goodbye to his revolver too, Isabelle handed it back to him.
“It’s mid-tiered, but it still has a small trace of Mystery energy inside. I’m letting you figure out the nature of it on your own.”
After absorbing the Mystery energy, Isabelle looked a lot more relaxed—she needed some time to “digest” her new meal.
The woman in Venees’ body glanced at Angor one last time, somewhat apologetically this time.
“One week. Come to Spirit Realm on floor B2. After one week, I shall give you a special destiny. Consider it a reward, after which we’ll not talk about today’s matter again.”
With that, Isabelle turned away and disappeared.
After she left, the soul that was restraining Felicia also vanished. Felicia still felt extremely disturbed after failing to get another Mystery item, but there was no way she could vent her anger out in front of a legendary wizard.
She still had Angor though.
“Come with me and join Candy House. Or else…” Felicia was showing her worst rage against Angor while speaking.
Both Angor and Shadow were surprised by the sudden demand. Shadow knew that Felicia would realize Angor’s value after the incident, but he still didn’t expect Felicia to “hijack” the talented apprentice of Brute Cavern so openly.
Of course, Felicia couldn’t afford to offend Brute Cavern under broad daylight. She believed that Brute Cavern wouldn’t really mind the fate of an insignificant apprentice. Besides, a lot of apprentices who wandered around the world would often die from unexpected crises.
Since Angor was pretty far from Brute Cavern now… It would definitely happen.
