Angele walked to the control panel and tapped its surface. He then grabbed a coat from the cloth stand nearby.

Todd and the two children looked excited and relieved as they stepped into the living room.

"Green, how strong is that glass-looking barrier? Can it keep the black beetles away?" Todd wondered.

"Don't worry. The defense system here is good enough. I've survived waves of attacks from the black beetles and they finally figured out how strong the barrier is." Angele walked to the sofa and sat down. "Take a seat. You're safe here. Trust me."

He sat on the sofa and saw the two kids looking at the translucent energy barrier curiously.

"Green, can we go check out the barrier?" Frey questioned in a loud voice.

Angele smiled. "Of course you can."

"I'll go with them..." Todd hesitated.

"It's fine. The barrier won't break."

"I trust you but... I'll just go with them." Todd nodded slightly and responded in a deep voice.

Although the defense system around the mansion looked promising, Todd was still worried that the kids might encounter the mutated creatures if they accidentally stepped out of the barrier.

Angele told Todd that the defense system had killed countless black beetles, but Todd decided to not to trust him until he saw it himself.

Angele sat on the sofa and leaned back. It felt like his body was sinking into a large piece of soft sponge.

He knew that Todd did not have many days left in this world; however, with his special treatment, Todd would be able to live for a bit longer. The lone survivor of the mushroom city would become his greatest assistant in the Nightmare Realm.

The defense matrices around the mansion were the best he could get from the market. Angele wasn't sure he could block all the vines in the energy waves-which would slow him down-without getting hurt. The defense system should be good enough for the black beetles.

Todd and his children returned to the living room while Angele was still resting.

"Take a seat." Angele pointed at the sofa in front of him.

Todd whispered something to the kids and sat down on the opposite side of Angele.

The two kids were still looking around curiously.

"Green, can we go play in the building?" The girl called Freia questioned in a low voice.

"Go ahead." Angele nodded as his sight fell upon Todd. "Alright, let's talk about the illusion zone you mentioned in the basement. What exactly is that?"

Todd nodded. "Your shelter is great and I'm glad that you promised to take care of my children."

Angele was his only hope, otherwise, he would not ask a stranger to take care of his children. Although Angele was kind to Todd, Todd knew that if the young man wanted to do something to them, he would have no way to protect themselves. There was no law or rule in the Nightmare Realm, he had to think that the young man still had a warm heart.

If Todd passed away in the basement, his children would not be able to survive on themselves.

"The illusion zones are areas with the strange phenomenon and they appeared after the world collapsed," Todd started explaining. "I can feel that this world is impacted by other realms and the situation is getting worse recently. As a Colin hunter, my job is to communicate with the soul stones and I can sense the changes much faster than others."
