Recaps

Angel and his companions raced to the Apocalypse Altar after being trapped inside Erdus, the awakened Ru Clan ancestor’s sea-clam pet. Toby carried them there at the last moment, and the purification began, while the fragrance of the Purification Law Flower nourished the dangerous Striped Green Velvet inside Angel.

• Angel and Qili rescued Shan and fought Sini Cui Ze and Kafolian while searching for Xiliu, whom Jiebo had taken.
• Angel and Qili found Xiliu fighting Jiebo, then traded Merui’s Swords to end the confrontation and headed with their companions toward the Apocalypse Altar.
• A strange mist drew Angel’s companions into an underwater illusion, where a veiled woman stole Nausicaa’s Merui’s Sword and Angel struggled to guide everyone through the shifting illusions.
• The group learned they were inside Erdus and killed its heart, but Angel discovered that the sea clam’s illusion persisted and inherited memories from its Talent Mirage Pearl.
• Angel’s companions faced the approaching deadline as Rosen’s recording showed the wizards that Erdus had died and Angel remained inside its shell.
• Toby arrived at the Apocalypse Altar in the form of a Flame Griffin just before the countdown ended, carrying Angel and his companions past Jiebo and Dela.
• The Law of Purification divided the apprentices by Merui’s Sword color, and a sprout at the altar’s center grew into a tree as purifying energy entered their bodies.
• The Purification Law Flower’s fragrance purified the apprentices’ souls, but it also nourished the Striped Green Velvet in Angel’s back until its bud was nearly halfway open.

Angel advanced to third-level apprentice, pursued alchemy materials and new trades, then entered Witch Town with Sanders to test whether he could carry objects through the Nightmare Realm. He returned with a transformed right hand and an improved bloodline, leaving Sanders to investigate the changes.

• Angel’s butterfly bones itched intensely after the Purification Garden evolved, and he collapsed after rushing to Sanders before waking as a third-level apprentice.
• Angel met Nausicaa, Shan, and Xiliu, then agreed to help Sanders test whether he could carry objects into and out of the Nightmare Realm.
• Angel attended the Profound Alchemy Society’s exchange, traded for Abyssal Dragonhorn Beast sinew and a parchment, and made a deal for the shy apprentice’s Dreamweaver Ant.
• Angel entered Witch Town with Sanders, became trapped by a cabin and its shifting painting, and was attacked by an aged witch who forced her soul into him.
• A golden-haired figure drove off the witch, and Sanders later found that Angel’s right hand had become corporeal and carried green patterns.
• Angel demonstrated that he could project objects into the Nightmare Realm and bring them back, though projecting valuable items depleted his soul power.
• After Angel returned with the oil painting and other objects, his enlarged right hand released a bloodline that fused with his body.
• Sanders discovered that Angel’s bloodline quality had risen and his physical constitution exceeded the standard for wizard apprentices, while Angel struggled to understand his transformed hand.

Angel refined a crown resembling Crimson Sovereignty, bought Nano, and sold spatial tools and the Bloodvine at the Sky Auction, where Sanders won the Dream Realm Travelogue. Back at Savage Cave, Angel brought Dodolo to Maya, who examined the consequences of his right hand and foresaw a coming upheaval involving Lord Monchi and Gravity Garden.

• Angel completed the crown replica for Eliza, then learned she intended to use Blood Source Reversion to replace the real Crimson Crown with it.
• Angel bought Nano from Pierre, acquired an Abyss Inscription card to protect him from the Wizarding World’s rejection, and tested how his right hand strengthened Nightmare Illusions.
• Angel crafted four Butterfly Heart Necklaces and registered them with the Bloodvine for the Sky Auction, where they earned him substantial magic crystals.
• Sanders won the Dream Realm Travelogue for four million five hundred thousand magic crystals after its account persuaded bidders that its author had retained memories of the Nightmare Realm.
• Sanders met Eliza and obtained a Nightmare Realm wooden lock in exchange for promising that Angel would bestow a mysterious property on Crimson Sovereignty.
• Angel returned to Savage Cave with Sanders, Nano, and Dodolo, then took Dodolo to Tree Spirit Hall, where the Tree Spirit assessed his talent and recommended Maya as his mentor.
• Maya examined Dodolo and Angel, gave Dodolo a Golden Mentor Invitation, and judged Angel’s right-hand vision likely harmless.
• Maya foresaw Lord Monchi’s plan to smuggle Abyss Devil Race members and warned that Daini might try to seize Gravity Garden amid a wider upheaval involving nearly twenty wizard organizations.

A Nightmare Realm domain engulfed Sleepless City as Sanders and Angel tried to rescue Gloria and find the missing apprentices. After Angel was swallowed by Spotty Dog, he encountered a mysterious power and experienced its cycles of creation and destruction.

• Dodolo stayed on Starry Sky Island to study with Maya, while Sanders sent Angel to oversee Demon Illusion Island and urged him to consider his future spell slots.
• A dark domain sealed Sleepless City's outer city, trapping Gloria and drawing Fox Fiddler Fox, Frog Lamenter Frog, and Nightmare Realm parasites into the crisis.
• Sanders and Angel entered Sleepless City as the domain spread, and Angel's right hand absorbed Nightmare Realm energy, enlarging his magic source and briefly weakening the darkness.
• Angel searched the Savage Cave branch hall for Nausicaa and Hukedik, then found Sanders at the teleportation hall and helped rescue Gloria from Fox's threads.
• Spotty Dog swallowed Angel as Sanders fought a puppet woman who called Angel Lord Shava and spoke of the Queen's plans.
• Trapped inside Spotty Dog, Angel encountered a dignified voice and accepted a drop of water and an unknown power that produced a world of life, death, and renewal.
• Angel repeatedly joined the water with a grayish-white cloud until it released mysterious aura, which he studied through his talent for emotional perception.
• As the mysterious aura faded, Angel looked toward where the drop had been and saw Spotty Dog.
