He had no trouble making the item, but the alchemy on could be an issue.

Shadow ca from Floating ch City, the ho of all genius alchemists, so that man should have no problem seeing another on.

However, “she” might also see his on. And Angor wasn’t sure if “she” could sit tight in that case. Shadow assured him that “she” would not trouble them further, but Angor wasn’t fully convinced by those words.

But he didn’t have any other choice right now.

Angor stopped thinking about his concerns and concentrated on his work.

anwhile, Shadow was sitting in front of a campfire while gazing into the path that led into the depth of Ice Cave.

Sothing kept bothering his mind. Just looking at the dark passage and the cold air blowing from it made his heart run wild.

He looked at Venees again. The woman had fallen asleep by resting her head on her knees.

Damn. Should I tell Angor to get away from here first?

Before he could make the decision, another trail of wind filled with snowflakes erged from the deep tunnel.

Shadow quickly created a dirt wall to block the wind.

The wind persisted for a while. When it ended, the ground was covered under a thin layer of frost again.

Shadow canceled his spell and carefully observed the surroundings. Everything seed quiet and fine, yet his thumping heart was telling him otherwise.

“Did you start your work already, Angor?” He spoke through Spirit Bond.

It took a while for Angor to respond. “Yeah. What is it?”

“I think... sothing’s not right here. Let’s get to sowhere else first. You can always resu your work when it’s safer, right?”

Angor checked his half-lted material and nodded. Shadow was good at reading details and potential danger. If Shadow believed sothing was wrong, it was probably true. Also, Angor was planning to discuss with Shadow about his alchemy on first.

“Alright. Bring Venees here and let’s get away.”

Shadow called Venees’ na and received no response.

“Is she too tired?” He frowned and nudged the woman.

Thud.

Venees’ body lost balance and fell on the floor.

Shadow lifted her head to check. Venees’ face was now fully covered in white frost. There was blood seeping from her closed eyes.

Next, Shadow tried to sense Venees’ body using spirit feelers.

The mont the feelers reached Venees, a freezing aura quickly traveled through them and headed toward Shadow rapidly.

He jumped away in fear and quickly cut off the feelers.

“Are you alright over there?” Angor asked.

“There’s sothing wrong with Venees!” Shadow was slowly backing away from the woman while speaking. He sensed great danger coming from Venees’ body.

While he ran back toward the path they ca from, he saw Angor coming his way.

“No. Turn back! Let’s get out of here.”

Angor quickly noticed Shadow’s scared expression and listened to him.

“Where do we go?”

They had arrived at the fork again, which either took them to B4 or back to B6.

“Let’s go down. I think there’s another woman in the blood bathroom in front of blood prison,” Shadow said.

Angor nodded. This seed the better choice.

When they reached the gate and closed it behind them, Shadow finally sighed in relief and explained what he saw.

They still didn’t know what happened. However, since Venees was in trouble, there should be great danger lurking in the material lobby.

“I don’t think Venees’ gonna make it. Let’s go back to B9 and bring that black-haired woman with us. Otherwise, we’ll never get out.” Shadow was still trembling a little. He only wished to get away from Ice Cave as fast as he could.

Angor stopped him first. “We don’t have to. Fiona is right inside my bracelet. Can you make her talk?”

“She’s whaaat?” Shadow widened his eyes. “Don’t tell you got those Hollow Weed stuff? Enough to hold soone alive? You need like, 100,000 crystals for that lot of weed!”

Angor dragged Shadow into his Nightmare Domain so that “she” couldn’t hear them talking.

He released Fiona into the domain. The woman still carried the eerie smile of a mindless puppet.

Shadow confird his puppet string in Fiona’s body. Instead of controlling her, he glanced at Angor first.

“Oh, co on! Who the heck are you? Where did you find so much Hollow Weed? Even Floating ch City can’t find such a large amount to sell at their auction.”

Previously, Shadow decided not to question Angor’s identity too much. But now, seeing all those mysteries on Angor had forced him to get curious again.

Alchemy skills, “reverse engineering” a giant magic array within a day, expensive equipnt, a strange monster bird, illusions powerful enough to fool Lady Butterfly... Everything told Shadow that this young apprentice was NOT ordinary.

Angor simply pushed Fiona to Shadow. “Not the ti for it. You’ll know everything once we get to Floating ch City. And if we can’t, telling you about myself won’t help us escape.”

There were too many wizards that feared Sunders or hated him. Angor didn’t know what would happen to him if he ntioned his professor’s na to a stranger, so he chose to keep that a secret.

Shadow went over his mory and rembered several alchemists and master illusionists, but he couldn’t rember anyone who ca from Brute Cavern that possessed both expertise.

“Fine. I’ll not ask again, but do tell if you feel like it. After we get out, that is. Now, I suggest that you put her back inside. I don’t know what will happen if ‘she’ sees Fiona in our hands. Let’s check out B9 first. If we can’t find that black-haired woman, we’ll use Fiona.”

Angor complied and accompanied Shadow down the stairs.

After they left, Venees, who was believed to be dead, suddenly reopened her eyes.

Her brown eyes had beco white, which glowed slightly like ice reflecting sunlight. Her hair had put on a pure white color as well.

She slowly sat up and looked toward where Shadow had escaped.

“I sense such a strange soul...”

...

Angor and Shadow spent another hour traveling all the way back to B9. Along their way, Angor ntioned his alchemy ons, and Shadow glanced at him again with a aningful look.

“It might be a good thing. Just imagine. When she knows that you can create a mid-tier alchemy item at such a young age, she’ll understand your value and think about who you are as well as who your teacher is. Maybe she’ll decide to let us go. I an, don’t worry about the on. I don’t think she’s going to attack us because of it.”

They arrived at the blood bathroom and saw the black-haired woman who was still in the bathtub. It seed she didn’t evacuate like the other guards.

The woman was shocked by their arrival. Before she could find her weapon, Shadow quickly subdued her by using his puppet strings.

She was also a level-1 apprentice like Venees, who couldn’t oppose Shadow’s power at all.

“Diablo?! Where did you co from? Where’s Venees? Did she let you out? And who the heck are you?” She glimpsed at Angor next.

“You give her orders. I’ll find sowhere quiet and continue with my work,” Angor said to Shadow without minding the woman.

“Leave it to . I think we’re safe on this floor.”
