Warlock Apprentice

Chapter 2904: Chapter 2905: Combat Machine

Angel silently stared at the Rabbit Girl.

He now understood why Laplace would have the Rabbit Girl eliminate the remaining magic monsters. Her reaction and general speed, as well as grasp of combat opportunities, her battle prowess, were all unparalleled.

And these talents that Angel marveled at, were mostly not related to the transcendent, since the Crystal Origin of Dreams gave her a body that was mortal. Yet, the Rabbit Girl relied on her keen eyes and experience to elevate herself to a transcendent level.

To use an inappropriate metaphor, she was like a living combat machine.

Of course, just these alone were not sufficient to defeat the worm monster.

Mortal strength, after all, is limited.

What truly rendered the worm monster unable to cope were those "strange auras."

Every time the Rabbit Girl struck the worm monster, auras would emerge, varying in color but identical in the silhouette of light shadow... all resembling carrots.

Every appearance of the carrot aura inflicted heavy damage on the worm monster.

It could be said that all the wounds on the worm monster, including it being split in half, were caused by the carrot aura.

And these carrot auras emanated from the Rabbit Girl’s—carrot satchel.

Angel, previously observing from God’s View, discovered that each time the Rabbit Girl touched the worm monster, energy would be released from the carrot satchel, aiding the Rabbit Girl’s attack, creating vivid light shadows.

This released energy was not the Aggregation Energy most commonly mastered by mirror creatures, but a rich blood energy, or it could be referred to as Bloodline Power.

By comparison, Glaipnir is an Astrologer, Luigi is a Bard, while the Rabbit Girl is a bloodline warrior.

It could be said, the Bloodline Power is highly compatible with the Rabbit Girl’s combat, and presumably only with her, as no one else could wield it so adeptly.

This is her strength.

But from another perspective, this may also be her weakness.

Because the Rabbit Girl’s battle with the worm monster was a fusion of Bloodline Power and superior combat skills, complementing each other.

Moreover, Angel also noticed that the Bloodline Power is at its strongest only when leaving the carrot satchel, so every attack by the Rabbit Girl was like dancing on the blade, capturing that moment to deliver a fatal blow to the worm.

This is undoubtedly a mad battle, a textbook level combat for those who pursue the aesthetics of battle.

Yet because the Rabbit Girl could only capture that moment to strike the worm, it exposed her shortcoming: strong in close combat, weak in ranged.

This battle was thus, the Rabbit Girl was almost "sticking" to the worm monster throughout. Only then could she exhibit her strongest combat power.

Fortunately, this time the worm monster also chose close combat. If it had opted for ranged tactics, it wouldn’t be easy for the Rabbit Girl to cling to it, and as for releasing Bloodline Power from afar? That would only let the Bloodline Power dissipate into the air, never reaching the opponent.

Thus, from Angel’s God’s View, the Rabbit Girl’s battle was not without flaws.

However, solely discussing her crazy battle, it indeed broadened Angel’s horizon.

If Tullas and brother Lyon saw this battle, they would probably be astounded.

And the Rabbit Girl is merely a Temporal Body of Laplace’s past memory. With those memories integrated into an ordinary body, she could perform such terrifying feats; one could only imagine if those memories were integrated into Laplace’s original body? Just thinking about it is frightening.

And this was merely past memory, the current one is presumably stronger.

Angel even had a feeling, could Laplace’s original body, like Rhein, have touched the boundary of Legend?

Angel was lost in thought when Laplace’s voice came to his ears: "What are you thinking about?"

Angel paused, turned his head to look, and saw Laplace had unknowingly walked to his side.

"Nothing, what’s up?"

Laplace skeptically looked Angel over: "I called you twice, and you didn’t respond. I thought you went offline."

Huh, called twice? Angel tilted his head to glance at Dangross, who seemed to understand Angel’s meaning, nodded at him, and whispered: "There were two calls, but the first was ’hey,’ and the second was the sentence just now."

Angel wasn’t bothered whether Laplace called his name or not, as she would call Glaipnir and Luigi "hey" too, or not call them at all, just indicating with her eyes who she meant.

Confirming Laplace had indeed called him, Angel showed an apologetic look and said embarrassedly: "I was lost in thought earlier, didn’t know Lady Laplace called me for what?"

Laplace: "Glaipnir’s attempt is complete."

Laplace pointed not far away.

Following her finger, Angel saw Glaipnir standing alone in mid-air, no shadow of the worm monster around, but in the dark sky, a gentle Blood Rain began to fall.

Upon closer examination, the Blood Rain was actually all minced meat...

Unlikely anything else, this meat mush must have come from the worm monster.

So, what happened? How did he, only stunned for two or three seconds, with Glaipnir smash the worm monster into mincemeat?

"Though the attempt is over, the Tooth Bone Staff has also been damaged. I called you to ask if you could bring another Tooth Bone Staff in."

Laplace’s words seemed to explain the worm monster’s current situation indirectly.

"Is this, caused by the Tooth Bone Staff?" Looking at the cascading Blood Rain, Angel couldn’t help but ask.

Laplace nodded: "Glaipnir fully unleashed the Tooth Bone Staff, the Tooth Bone Staff was destroyed, and the worm followed. The limits of the Tooth Bone Staff were tested, but the unrefined Astrological Disk wasn’t much used. Nonetheless, it doesn’t matter; the defensive power of the unrefined Astrological Disk isn’t much different from my shed scales, enough to stop the Glutton."

"Speaking of which, your Crystal Origin of Dreams has this advantage that testing the limits of an item is much simpler than before."

As Laplace said this, Luigi also nodded beside her: "Totally unconcerned about the damage to items, this kind of test is truly satisfying. Friend, I want to..."

Laplace: "Shut up, you don’t want to."

Luigi said with some grievance: "I hadn’t even finished speaking."

Angel also confusedly looked at Laplace, not understanding why she interrupted Luigi.

Laplace said indifferently: "Luigi often goes to Tooth Fairy Paradise to perform, with the aim to steal the Tooth Fairy Harp."

Luigi protested unhappily: "Don’t speak nonsense, I’m not stealing, I’m borrowing, borrowing!"

Laplace ignored Luigi’s protest and continued: "The Tooth Fairy Harp is not like the Tooth Bone Staff, the Tooth Bone Staff is the relic of a battle elder transformed, and while the Ancient Ruins of Tooth Fairy also highly value the Tooth Bone Staff, they care more about the relationship with Glaipnir, so they are willing to lend out the Tooth Bone Staff."

"The Tooth Fairy Harp is completely different, it’s an artifact formed from the remains of the second generation Tooth Fairy Queen, the significance of the Tooth Fairy Harp is akin to the crown and scepter significance in human kingdoms, it’s the symbol of authority of the Tooth Fairy Queen. Even though the Tooth Fairy Harp’s combat power cannot compete with the Tooth Bone Staff, its significance is monumental, and Luigi definitely cannot borrow it, only steal."

"And now he realizes your Dream Conch can bring the Tooth Fairy Harp into the Crystal Origin of Dreams, without physical damage or impact, he started thinking crooked. You needn’t mind him."

Lady Laplace wasn’t truly heartless, but Luigi’s idea was far too unconventional. His target was the Tooth Fairy Harp, which stayed by the Tooth Fairy Queen’s side year-round and never left the Tooth Fairy Castle. If he wanted to make the Tooth Fairy Harp enter the Crystal Origin of Dreams, he would have to take Angel and the Dream Conch to Tooth Fairy Paradise and do this right in front of the Tooth Fairy Queen.

Not to mention whether the Tooth Fairy Queen would suspect anything, the very thought was dangerous.

If something seems good and one just brings Angel and the Dream Conch along to forcibly involve themselves, it’s setting a terrible precedent. Moreover, this would clearly place Angel in a difficult situation.

After determining the value of the Crystal Origin of Dreams, Laplace already had the intention to cooperate with Angel, and Angel also showed sincerity by offering the Authority.

In these circumstances, Laplace couldn’t let Luigi ruin Angel’s goodwill.

Angel, however, didn’t think too much about it, murmuring softly, "The Tooth Fairy Harp, it does sound interesting."

Upon hearing Angel’s murmuring, Luigi assumed there was an opportunity and immediately began to eloquently praise the Tooth Fairy Harp, using all kinds of laudatory words.

After his lavish words, Luigi looked at Angel expectantly: "So, how about it, do you want to listen to me play the Tooth Fairy Harp?"

Angel: "If there is a chance, I wouldn’t mind listening."

Luigi’s eyes lit up: "Of course there’s a chance, as long as you..."

Luigi went on and on with a whole lot of words, almost exactly as Laplace had guessed. He was egging Angel on to secretly bring the Tooth Fairy Harp into the Crystal Origin of Dreams.

Angel listened with a smile to Luigi’s words.

Just as Luigi felt there was a chance, Angel said, "Why do you need me just for the Tooth Fairy Harp? If we’re going to do it, let’s do something bigger, like pulling the entire Tooth Fairy Castle, no, the whole Tooth Fairy Paradise into the Crystal Origin of Dreams, wouldn’t that be even better?"

Luigi was dumbfounded: "Huh?"

Both Laplace and Glaipnir glanced at Angel.

Angel, still smiling, said: "How about this? If you have a way to let me use the Dream Conch to pull the entire Tooth Fairy Paradise into the Crystal Origin of Dreams without the Tooth Fairy Queen suspecting anything, I’ll go with you to Tooth Fairy Castle."

At this point, Angel turned to look at Glaipnir: "The same goes for you. If Glaipnir can make the Ancient Tooth Fairies of the Ancient Ruins of Tooth Fairy not suspect the use of the Dream Conch, I can pull the entire Ancient Ruins of Tooth Fairy into the Crystal Origin of Dreams."

Luigi was still in a daze, but upon hearing Angel’s words, Glaipnir squinted, lost in thought.

Angel’s proposal seemed feasible. As long as there was a legitimate reason and they could persuade the Ancient Tooth Fairies of the Ancient Ruins of Tooth Fairy, it could be done...

Laplace looked at Angel: "The range of the Dream Conch can influence this much?"

Angel nodded: "Yes, but it requires more preparation time. So, if Luigi and Glaipnir can really do it and give me ample time, I can pull both the Ancient Ruins of Tooth Fairy and Tooth Fairy Paradise into the Crystal Origin of Dreams."

Angel seemed to be discussing with Luigi, but his thoughts were actually focused on Glaipnir.

Ever since learning that the Ancient Ruins of Tooth Fairy was the largest trading guild in this Dream Domain, he’d been silently considering whether there was a way to "capture it all in one go."

Now, taking advantage of Luigi’s suggestion, Angel naturally brought it up and directed it at Glaipnir.

If the entire Ancient Ruins of Tooth Fairy could be pulled into the Crystal Origin of Dreams, its resources could serve as reserves and as research and experimental materials, benefiting not only Angel but also Laplace.

Moreover, if it could truly be done, the Ancient Ruins of Tooth Fairy would merely be the beginning. Many resource-rich places in the Mirror Domain could be similarly entailed into the Crystal Origin of Dreams.

Most importantly, for the creatures of the Mirror World, they wouldn’t feel any loss. They might not even know it happened.

This was an absolutely beneficial and non-offensive matter.

Angel merely hinted at it without further expansion. He trusted that Glaipnir and Laplace understood his meaning.

"I need to go offline for a moment to deliver the Tooth Bone Staff to Glaipnir, please wait a moment."

With that, Angel’s figure gradually faded and soon completely vanished from the safe zone.

After Angel left, Laplace and Glaipnir exchanged a glance. They didn’t speak, but understood each other’s thoughts.

This matter was feasible and doable.

They could naturally see that Angel intentionally brought up this topic, but it was a venture from which everyone could benefit. Furthermore, it was only natural for Angel to propose it. He was a human in reality, unable to access the Ancient Ruins of Tooth Fairy or Tooth Fairy Paradise, without any means to use the Dream Conch without arousing the suspicion of the Ancient Tooth Fairies or the Tooth Fairy Queen. But while Angel couldn’t, they could.

This task, if undertaken, could only be accomplished by them.

It was just a matter of whether they were willing to undertake it.

Upon careful analysis, weighing the pros and cons, it was primarily a matter full of advantages, with virtually no disadvantages. It was entirely feasible. So why shouldn’t they do it?

In the exchanged glances between Laplace and Glaipnir, a mutual understanding was already reached.

At this moment, Angel’s presence reappeared in the safe zone. Alongside Angel came a Tooth Bone Staff and a bottle filled with a fiery red liquid.

The Tooth Bone Staff was naturally given to Glaipnir.

And the bottle of fiery red liquid was quenching liquid, specially prepared by Angel for Dangross.

After handing the Tooth Bone Staff to Glaipnir, Laplace said to Angel: "There are ten minutes left until the hunting moment. I can already sense that the Glutton is approaching me. Wait nearby with Glaipnir to prevent the Glutton from entering the safe zone."

"As for Luigi, don’t worry about him, he’ll entertain himself."

Paused, Laplace turned her attention to the Rabbit Girl: "As for her, tell her the remaining position of the Eliminators and let her deal with it."

Angel: "There’s nothing much else to say, but she..."

Angel pointed at the Rabbit Girl.

"I just observed her in combat; she has the upper hand against close-range Magic Monsters, but if she confronts long-range types, she doesn’t seem to show a significant advantage?" Angel spoke mildly.

Hearing Angel’s opinion, Laplace replied nonchalantly: "Don’t worry, since I’m sending her to hunt those remnants, of course I won’t only consider close-range battles. When she faces long-range Magic Monsters, she’ll have her methods to deal with them."

Laplace didn’t elaborate further on the methods, but Angel trusted her judgment.

At worst, he could monitor more using God’s View. If any accidents occurred, he could force her offline to ensure safety.

Soon, Angel distributed everyone’s positions as Laplace described. Laplace and Glaipnir moved to areas distant from the Beautiful Dream Mountain, to prevent the merging of special dreamlands. After all, the Greed Feast was a special dreamland, and so was the Beautiful Dream Mountain; who knew if they might interact...

As for Luigi, he went towards the direction of Beautiful Dream Mountain. He promised Laplace and Angel that he wouldn’t enter the Beautiful Dream Mountain; he would remain outside, seeking inspiration for poetry through the oppressive feel of the towering mountain.

Whether he spoke the truth, Angel couldn’t say for sure. However, since Laplace didn’t stop Luigi from heading to Beautiful Dream Mountain, it meant tacit approval. So, allowing him to go was no harm, and even if he couldn’t resist going into Beautiful Dream Mountain... he would just be a guinea pig.

After Luigi left, Angel also informed the Rabbit Girl of the nearby Magic Monster locations, and she followed the sky’s spider silk to continue hunting the remaining demon remnants.

At this time, only Angel and Dangross were left in the safe zone.
