Suddenly, something grabbed Angele's hand, dragging him to the other side .
Angele was caught off guard and hit the handle hard .
It felt like there was a pair of hands that were dragging him to a completely different realm .
"Die!" Angele narrowed his eyes and released some dark smoke from his right arm which quickly turned into the claw of a scorpion .
*Crack*
It sounded like the claw cut something into pieces and he could finally move his right arm again .
Angele quickly took two steps back and looked at the handle quietly .
"Such power… It's…" He recalled the day he met the woman for the first time . The woman traveled using the tree trunks like she was at another dimension .
"I need to take her out as soon as possible…"
Angele's right arm was surrounded by dark smoke again and it quickly returned to normal .
He walked upstairs and entered the room that was opposite to the room with the painting in it .
Everything was calm and peaceful . He picked up a crystal orb from the bookshelf and rubbed it several times .
The white crystal orb started glowing .
"Green, I'm sorry about the wedding . Fir said that she wanted to delay the wedding because she needed some time to get prepared . " Vivian's came from the crystal orb . "The wedding will be delayed for two years . I think I should give you two some more time . "
The voice repeated after the sentence was finished . "Green, I'm sorry about the wedding…"
Angele sighed . "I guess she didn't say she wanted to cancel the wedding because she didn't want to disappoint Vivian… She was scared . " He put down the crystal orb and the white glow faded away from the orb .
*************************
Angele stayed in the room with the painting most of the time for the next ten days . He also delivered food and water to the girl in the basement daily .
The woman finally understood that it was not a dream and felt depressed . She would still do what she had to do to survive but she did not say anything else .
Angele was not concerned, he spent most of his time studying the painting . He also visited the elders and Vivian from time to time .
He tried to see if there were any mineral resources around .
He found a large iron mine in a hill around the town; it took him two days to locate the mine .
The only thing he needed to do was mining . Angele spent some time and developed a perfect metal force field to help with the mining procedure . The iron ores would be refined by the force field as well .
The two realms finally started separating after a couple months .
**************************
It was summer . The chilling wind was blowing over the trees in the forest .
Angele was writing something down on a pile of yellow leather paper in his reading room .
The only noise here was made by the pen .
Angele's shadow leaned on the floor under the bright light from the candle and his shadow was waving in the wind .
He suddenly stopped writing . Angele raised his head and looked out of the window, the night sky was dark .
"Finally…"
A dark-red glow surrounded his eyes and a large shadow of a scorpion appeared behind him slowly .
*WOO*
A red wave suddenly appeared in the night sky and expanded to the endless sky . It felt like that the red wave was scanning the whole sky .
"Phoenix, we'll be going back now . Are you coming?" Bone's voice was sent to Angele through the energy waves released by the realm power of Nightmare Realm . "Fly back in your true form if you want to leave with us . The realms are separating and the realm power will be pressuring you again . "
Angele smiled and responded, "Don't worry about me . I have something else to take care of . "
"Do whatever you want . You can come back when you want to anyways . " Bone was not concerned . "I wish you were with us . The lords of the northland were pushed back into the dimension tunnel and Vapor slashed the tunnel in half . We almost created a dimension vortex . Thanks to you, we finally defeated them once, ha . "
"Well, we were just lucky . " Angele chuckled but he did not say anything else .
Their conversation ended as Bone's voice slowly faded away .
Angele put down the pen and stood up .
A strong pressure appeared and moved to Angele as he stood up . The pressure was coming from all angles .
He released some black smoke but it quickly disappeared under the pressure .
It felt like that there was a mountain over his back and he had to use all his force to support the mountain .
The feeling was familiar but he had not got used to it yet . Angele shook his head; although he still had the power of a rank 3 wizard, the power was from his bloodline, and it was impossible for him to fully activate his true form . However, it was still possible that he could release a strike with the power of a rank 6 wizard once .
"The dimension channel to the Nightmare Realm is disappearing…" he muttered and looked at the sky . It felt like that he could see the entrance to the dark channel closing slowly .
"The good thing is that I have a lead on how to handle the realm power . " He turned around, left the reading room, and walked downstairs .
He opened the lid and entered the basement .
The woman he summoned was still surrounded by the rune walls in the center of the basement . The woman looked excited after she saw Angele .
"Hey! When will you let me go? Why do you even keep me here?"
Angele glanced at the woman and waved his hand .
The runes walls slowly disappeared and the girl was finally released from the prison .
The girl ran to Angele and she looked a bit scared .
"Are you a mage? I've read about something like this . "
"Mage? What's that?" Angele chuckled but he was not here to check on the woman .
He walked to the corner . There was a T-shaped rune circle on the wall; the white runes inside the circle were crawling slowly, looking like strange white insects .
Some silver liquid was dripping down the bottom of the rune circle .
The liquid was collected by a small hole below the circle . There was already a good amount of liquid in it .
Angele nodded slightly as he was satisfied with the result .
"Hey, can you teach me some magic skills?" The woman named Ruixin Li opened her mouth again . "Like… like the thing you just did . You waved your hand and the light walls disappeared . Can you teach me that?"
Angele glanced at the woman and scanned her using the biochip . The woman's body was weak and she did not seem very intelligent .
"Aren't you scared? I could kill you . "
"You won't, right?" Xinrui chuckled and took two steps back . "You summoned me because you thought I could help you with your research, right?"
"You're just the waste of a failed experiment . " Angele was just being honest .
"Well…" The smile disappeared form Xinrui's face .
"If you were not a human being, you'd end up in there . " Angele pointed at the garbage disposal tunnel . The woman came from a place like the Earth and Angele kept her alive because the woman reminded him of the old days . Also, he would not waste his resources if the woman was not a human being .
Xinrui pursed her lips and took several more steps back . "What are you going to do to me then?"
"It depends . " Angele smiled . "You're a student of a university, right? What were you studying?"
"Country Structure and Society…" Xinrui responded in a low voice .
"Huh?" Angele was a bit surprised . He suddenly reached to the woman's head as his eyes glowed . His red eyes looked like two clean rubies .
"What are you doing?!" Xinrui leaped away and she stared at Angele anxiously .
"Huh? My illusion spell didn't work?" Angele sounded surprised . He was going to trick the woman using illusions and read her memory, however, the spell failed . "That's interesting . "
Angele was interested, he walked around the woman and observed her body .
"I think there's a problem with your body . I was going to help you . Why are you scared? Do you really think I'm interested in your weak body?"
Xinrui was still anxious .
"Well, whatever . I'm the one who summoned you so I'll give you some advice . The world is dangerous, if you dress up like this, you might be considered as a witch and you'll be burnt . It'll be better if you can stay in the town that's not so far from here or you can just stay at my house . I'll clean the storage room for you . Don't use the living room," Angele explained . He noticed that the woman was a bit different .
"Also, no one can understand your words . I can help you learn the language for a price and it'll only take a second for the process to complete . "
"Seriously? You can teach me a language in a second?!" Xinrui got excited again, it almost felt like that she was mentally unstable .
"Of course, for a price . " Angele showed the woman one finger . "Ten years . Work in this house for ten years . Clean the rooms, wash the clothes, and cook the food . If you think it's a good deal, come find me in the reading room on the second floor in three days . Also, I need to leave for a while, you can find the food in the kitchen . "
"Ten years?!" Xinrui was surprised after she heard the word because it sounded like ten years was nothing to Angele .
"One more thing, the reading room, kitchen, and the storage room are the only three places you have access to . " There was a gentle smile on Angele's face and he looked a bit curious as he looked at the woman .
