If we follow normal logic, it would probably be humans or humanoids, but the creatures in the Nightmare Realm obviously donât adhere to normal logic. Both the Frog Crooner and the Fox Instrumentalist could walk upright and dress neatly. Therefore, without seeing the true appearance of the creature wearing leather shoes, itâs difficult to determine its exact identity.
âDid you have any revelation from the emotional readings just now?â Sanders asked Angel.
Angel: âThey were pretty much very vague and incomplete emotions, so deciphering them was meaningless. However, among all the useless emotions, there was one coherent emotion that stood out.â
Angel shared the information he had sensed.
âMinister, arrival, restoration,â Sanders muttered these words in a low voice, sinking into brief thought.
âOn the surface, it seems that a minister has descended from the Nightmare Realm,â Angel furrowed his brows. âI donât know if itâs his true body or just an emissary. If itâs the former, I have a bad feeling about it.â
Sandersâ expression also became serious: âCreatures from the Nightmare Realm have a strong sense of hierarchy. If we consider official ranks and combine with my previous speculations, a ministerial level of power is probably not low. In fact, it might very well exceed Legendary level.â
Although Angel also suspected the minister would be powerful, he didnât expect Sanders to suggest above Legendary level. However, Angel was puzzled whether the World Will would allow such an entity to enter the Wizardsâ Realm easily if it truly reached the Legendary level.
Angelâs doubt was quickly explained by Sanders.
âBarring any surprises, there should already be a half-channel in the ruins, which makes it part of a half-plane. A half-plane is a gap between the Nightmare Realm and the Reality World. The World Will isnât the ultimate dominator, so as long as it doesnât invade the Reality Realm, something Legendary appearing in a half-plane is possible.â
Sanders paused: âAlso, almost all the Nightmare Realm creatures lose significant power when descending to the Wizardsâ Realm, even through fissures. So while a minister might be Legendary in the Nightmare Realm, they could be weakened in reality.â
However, these are merely hypotheses. Sanders couldnât be fully certain of the opponentâs current power level. But in the Nightmare Realm, a ministerial rank should unquestionably be above Legendary.
Consider, on the outskirts of the Nightmare Realm, there are creatures above Legendary. The place where Greyaâs body was lost is a gathering of Legendary creatures.
The creatures of the Nightmare Realmâs core, together with the ministerial rank, Legendary level is a certainty.
Angel listened with a palpitating heart; if a ministerial ranked creature descends on the ruins, and its power is still above Legendary, the Barbarian Cave would be unsafe.
âI hope, like last time in the Sleepless City, itâs just an emissary descended, rather than the minister himself,â Angel whispered.
Sandersâ expression wasnât good either. Their speculation about ministerial rank was actually a lower-level perception of a higher-level being. Such perception is always an unequal, blind guess, just like talking about ice to summer insects, any conjecture is futile. Perhaps the ministerial rank is even stronger than they imagine, possibly ignoring world rules altogether.
Thinking of this, the atmosphere subtly became heavy.
Angel: âBack at the Twilight Auction, the owl doll claiming to be Ollie mentioned some info about the ministers. Among them, Minister Mana seems responsible for supervision, Minister Gran enjoys speeches. Besides, I know another minister who is the owner of the Dalmatian in the Sleepless City, called Minister Dim.â
âIf indeed a minister has descended, would it be one of these three?â
Sanders shook his head; nobody knows that answer. None of the three known ministers have revealed their strength, but Minister Dimâs Dalmatian, unless by exception, is a living Mysterious Object. This would even be a spectacle in the Origin World. To be the owner of a Dalmatian, Minister Dimâs power is certainly formidable.
Angel: âCould the owner of those leather shoes be a minister?â
âProbably not. If it were a minister, he would definitely show himself to you,â Sanders softly dismissed, seeing the shoe ownerâs rank much lower than Shava, hence not daring to appear in Angelâs field of vision. Just like in the Black Demon Countryâs Night Demon City, when the parasites gained intelligence support, they would voluntarily avoid Angel, only from afar âpraising Shava,â telling of their awe.
However, even if the owner of those leather shoes isnât a minister, Sanders still didnât dare to relax easily. Because the sense of crisis he felt seeing those leather shoes still lingered in his heart.
If this level of creatures filled the ruins, imagining the danger inside would be hard.
Standing in the pavilion, Sanders looked towards the shimmering Star Pond in the distance, his gaze filled with heavy concern.
âSince your initial exploration has ended, let Lord Reine and the others return first; weâll discuss the rest together later,â Sanders said.
Though the Star Pond currently appeared calm, who knew when it might change. For safety, Sanders dared not let the three guardians stay away too long.
Now that Angel had obtained some clues, it was time to let them return.
About ten minutes later, the guardian wizards returned to the three Observation Pavilions. Rhein and Tree Spirit appeared before them, but Nis and Ferro did not come along.
ââŚMinister, arrival, restoration?â Lord Reine had already learned these keywords from Angel, frowning as though deep in thought.
Simultaneously, the guarding wizards in the other two Observation Pavilions were also paying attention to the happenings here.
Ironclad Grannyâs expression was grave, seemingly thinking of something, her eyes filled with worry.
On the other side, old man Wallaceâs expression wasnât good either. Although he didnât know what ministerial rank meant, his innate Spiritual Sense already felt the unease.
âNext time, if you need to open the ruins again, be sure to tell us beforehand,â Tree Spirit reprimanded Sanders, fictitiously, before getting to the point: âSetting aside other matters, such as the identity of the leather shoes and the minister, the most significant of the keywords should be the last one.â
âRestoration,â Tree Spirit accentuated this word: âWhat exactly are they aiming to restore? Did the minister descend specifically for restoration?â
Sanders: âRestoration refers to correcting and returning to the original state, meaning mending and perfecting based on what already exists. I have a hypothesis that they might be restoring something that originally existed in these ruins.â
