Andrews saw Wade close his eyes and control the Obscurus into the ancient tomb. He imdiately tightened his grip on his wand and stood guard in front of Wade.
At that mont, the Obscurus under Wade's control had already entered the half-open stone door.
He instantly felt a chilling cold sweep through his entire body.
For so reason, the Obscurus's unique night vision had also stopped working.
In his field of vision, he could not see anything at all. There was only endless darkness.
Fortunately, Wade could still use magic while controlling the Obscurus.
The Obscurus gradually took on a humanoid form, and a ball of white light floated above it.
Only then did he finally manage to see the scenery within a one-ter radius around him...
Wade was completely numb. What kind of cursed place was this? This pitch-black atmosphere felt even more terrifying than his Ancient Magic Lost Mist.
The Lost Mist also had the effect of devouring light.
Just as Wade was thinking this, the surrounding magical fluctuations suddenly changed!
The chaotic magic that had originally been as still as stagnant water now reacted to Wade's Lumos like a stone thrown into a dead pond!
In the next second, everything before Wade underwent a complete transformation!
Wade discovered that he was standing in the middle of a vast grassland!
Blue skies, erald-green plains, and... Wade himself!
To his shock, it was actually him standing on the grassland, not the Obscurus!
Moreover, he realized that the consciousness attached to the Obscurus had lost contact with the real Wade waiting outside the tomb.
"Now this is sothing new."
Looking at the boundless grassland, Wade eventually picked a direction and started walking.
Because he could still vaguely sense the faint magical presence from the Obscurus robes on Slytherin.
Which ant that everything before him was most likely just an illusion, and this illusion could not completely sever its connection to reality.
As for illusions, Wade was very familiar with them.
So-called illusions used all kinds of strange phenona to affect a person's mind and body, instilling fear and stripping away their will to resist...
Therefore, Wade ignored the scenery around him and focused solely on moving forward.
It was not that he did not want to fly directly into the air, but ever since arriving on this grassland, he had felt unable to use any magic at all.
It was strange, but perhaps that itself proved that none of this was real.
Even if it was only a fragnt of consciousness attached to the Obscurus, it was still no different from a wizard.
And so far, in reality, unless a wizard lost consciousness entirely, it was basically impossible to completely strip them of their ability to use magic.
Rumble!
At that mont, Wade heard a series of thunderous noises coming from the distance.
Very quickly, a massive herd of galloping wild horses appeared before him!
If Wade did not get out of the way, he would definitely be trampled into a bloody pulp by the herd.
Wade quietly observed the charging horses before him, his expression remaining calm.
There were two possibilities.
First, the horses were fake, rely illusions that could be ignored.
Second, the horses were indeed illusions, but they existed to conceal another kind of enemy. If he ignored them, he might be attacked by whatever was hidden beneath the illusion.
Wade's thoughts raced, and he quickly made his decision.
His real body was outside the ancient tomb. What had entered the tomb was actually the body of the Obscurus under his control.
In other words, even if the Obscurus suffered severe damage, it would not affect his real body at all.
And even if the Obscurus was heavily injured, it could slowly recover afterward. Therefore... in order to break the situation, Wade decided to gamble.
So Wade acted as if he had not seen the herd at all and continued walking forward at an unhurried pace.
He completely ignored the horses charging straight toward him!
Whoosh...
Just as the herd was about to collide with Wade's body, it instantly vanished. Even the dust kicked up by the hooves disappeared with it...
It was as if those wild horses had never existed in the first place.
At that mont, Wade sensed an extrely clear emotional fluctuation!
Confusion...
It was as if the owner of the illusion had suddenly beco confused!
Wade believed that if his real body had entered this place, he would never have sensed this emotional fluctuation.
But what had entered was only a fragnt of his consciousness, which was why he had managed to capture that trace of emotion so easily.
Not long afterward, the endless grassland vanished...
Everything around him returned to its original pitch-black state once more!
It was as if everything Wade had just seen had never happened at all!
Without changing expression, Wade continued moving in Slytherin's direction.
A lighting range of barely over a ter did not allow Wade to see much more.
Only now did he realize that he could not see the ceiling, and he could not make out the material of the floor either. Everything was simply pitch-black.
It was a profound darkness that made one's head spin just by looking at it...
And the Obscurus Wade was controlling could not identify the material of the floor either.
Alright, this place really was bizarre... No wonder even Slytherin, at the height of his power, had gone through imnse hardship just to escape.
Back then, he must have been thoroughly disoriented by these illusions as well...
But in the end, he still managed to escape, which proved he must have discovered so sort of flaw.
So as long as Wade found Slytherin now, he could bring him out.
As for why Slytherin could not escape now, Wade guessed it was because the robes had run out of "power"...
Without enough magic left in the Obscurus robes, Slytherin was basically a ghost incapable of doing anything. Even if he knew the thod, he still could not escape.
Wade looked at the pitch-black environnt around him. Perhaps... this endless darkness was also part of the illusion?
With that thought in mind, Wade used the magic within the Obscurus to quietly seep the power of Nightmare Magic into the surrounding darkness.
It was like hacking into a surveillance cara and stealing control of the enemy's vision.
In the next second, Wade suddenly felt his field of vision expand explosively from its original one-ter range!
Wade discovered that he could now "see" many things!
And Slytherin's blurry figure was also within his sight!
Wade was overjoyed, yet this enormous field of vision still left him deeply shocked.
Because even though his vision had expanded countless tis over, he still could not see through the entire ancient tomb!
It was as if... beyond the areas he could not see, there was still an enormous amount of space!
Which ant... he was still only at the outer edge of the tomb?
