Warlock Apprentice Chapter 830 - The Bloodied Stabber

Chapter 830: The Bloodied Stabber

“Who are you?”
It appeared to be a simple question in the views of other people, but to Angor, the voice was accompanied by a powerful aura that kept him in place.
The power felt like a sharp blade that cut through time and distance. It had only one intention, which was to pierce his brain. It felt different than any of the other ones he ever encountered before.
“A Bloodline wizard…” Angor muttered under his breath as cold sweat came off his forehead.
There was no way that an apprentice could exert this kind of aura that put so much pressure on him. He was dealing with a wizard who studied Bloodline Art.
But why would such a wizard show up at Padt Manor?
“Who sent you here?” the owl “asked” again.
Angor lost balance and stumbled back, and Mana quickly went to assist him.
“That should be my question.” Angor returned his gaze at the owl.
“You’re in no place to question someone who’s many levels stronger. If you won’t answer me, then I’ll just end the displeasure by removing you from existence.”
Countless golden feathers appeared around the owl and took aim at Angor’s vital points.
Angor found it almost impossible to move under the aura pressure.
His lips moved as if trying to say something, but before the owl could figure out his speech, Angor’s body suddenly vanished.
“That’s… the sequence power of a natural law?” The strange voice sounded surprised.
A figure wearing a black cape suddenly appeared behind the owl.
What Angor “said” just now was Spirit Mantra. He knew the aura pressure only meant to suppress his body. When in his soul form, he no longer felt any restriction.
After telling Toby to carry his body away, Angor prepared a gravity attack and slammed it at the owl as hard as he could.
It seemed the owl itself wasn’t anything too powerful. The gravity shock easily bashed it into the dirt below.
“Interesting…” The strange voice came again despite Angor’s successful move. “An apprentice who can use gravity to his advantage. You came from Gravity Forest?”
Angor suddenly felt another aura emerging right behind his back. Startled, he maximized his gravity power and dashed away.
There was now a woman with an attractive body shape floating at his original position, who was obviously the source of the powerful pressure.
The woman raised a hand as the injured owl slowly landed on it with a sad look. Next, the owl “handed” a pile of broken shards to the woman using its wings.
“You broke Brulee’s monocle glass?” The woman rubbed the owl’s head as she comforted it, “Don’t worry. I’ll tell Red to bring you another one from Fey Continent. As for your enemy… I’ll kill him in a moment.”
The owl nodded in contentment.
The woman slowly looked at Angor again. “An elite apprentice sent by Gravity Forest, I assume? Great talent at such a young age. Pity, you’re going to die today.”
She then lifted a slim finger and pointed at Angor.
Apart from the overwhelming aura, Angor also saw a blood-red beam coming at him this time. However, the beam wasn’t faster than his reflexes yet. Another small gravity boost was all he needed to get out of the way.
The beam landed on a mountain in the distance and flattened the entire tip of it.
“My aura doesn’t work on you?” The woman narrowed her eyes. “Oh… I see. A soul. You know how to cast Soul Coupling? And that soul looks so solid. Are you a Soul Manipulator apprentice?” She didn’t wait for Angor’s answer and kept speaking, “No matter. I’ll just destroy your body then. Now, where are you hiding?”
She cast a detection spell around her and smiled. “Got you.”
She unleashed another red beam at the crown of a tree, where Toby had been keeping Angor’s body safe.
She thought she had Angor this time, which didn’t happen.
“Gravity power? Again?” The woman looked at the pile of ash, which was originally the tree she was aiming at. She didn’t see Angor’s body there. Instead, she sensed similar gravity power coming from that position.
Following the trail of the power, she looked around and saw Angor no longer being in soul form. Also, there was an insignificant-looking bird hovering beside Angor.
“A bird can use the sequence of gravity?” The woman stopped her attacks to carefully inspect Angor again. She believed that the gray bird was Angor’s familiar. But she never heard of such an odd combination before.
By now, she no longer believed that she was dealing with someone from Gravity Forest. The low-leveled Sorcerer’s Garden in Gravity Forest could probably transfer the sequence of gravity to an apprentice or two, but not to such a level.
Did someone build another Gravity Garden while I was away? she thought.
“You’re not with Gravity Forest. Who are you exactly?”
Angor already made plans to escape. He didn’t do so yet because he just sensed something strange in the woman.
She wasn’t using her spirit power at all.
By using one’s spirit power, they could easily notice Angor’s condition and come up with effective attacks accordingly. But this woman only figured out that Angor ejected his soul after failing her attack.
Angor took a guess that the woman couldn’t unleash the full power of a wizard to slow him down for some reason, so he was confident that he could get away from danger in time.
“Still not willing to talk?” The woman’s expression grew dangerously threatening. “Let’s try something else then.”
“Professor Eureka! No!” A man’s voice called from afar, along with the sound of a galloping horse.
The woman lowered her hand and looked that way, while Angor trembled a little upon hearing the familiar voice of his brother.
Leon, wearing his full knight armor, arrived at the scene, removed his helmet, and went down on one knee. “Lady Eureka, please, don’t do this.”
Angor sighed in great relief. The second reason he didn’t escape from the fight yet was that there were people he wanted to protect, such as Leon.
“I ordered you to keep observing the ice coffin, Leon. What are you doing out here?” Eureka scolded.
“I’ll accept any punishment I deserve for breaking your order, Lady Eureka. But please let him go!” Leon gave Angor a passionate look but held back his urge to talk to Angor in front of Eureka.
“You know him?”
“He’s Angor, my young brother. I told you about him before.”
“Angor? I see… He went to the White Coral Floating Island Academy, no?”
Leon nodded, much to Eureka’s confusion.
Last time she heard, the White Coral Floating Island Academy wasn’t much better a place compared to Gravity Forest. How did they teach someone the sequence of gravity, who could also summon a bird with the same type of ability?
According to Leon, Angor left the Old Earth four years ago. But as far as Eureka could see, the apprentice in front of her had reached the middle phase of level-3. A mid-tier organization had no hope of promoting an apprentice so fast even if they used all funds and resources they had.
“You’re Leon’s brother, Angor?” Eureka looked at Angor in the eyes.
“Yes, I am, ‘Bloodied Stabber’ Miss Eureka.”
Eureka didn’t seem surprised when Angor mentioned her title.
“Didn’t you go and study at the White Coral Academy?”
“No, ma’am. I came from Brute Cavern.”
