"Of course." The man called Mu Ying nodded.
"Then I'll leave this place to you." Monkey stepped aside and gave Mu Ying a spot.
The wizards looked at Mu Ying with puzzled eyes. The reason why they thought his outfit was exaggerated was because he was wearing a bright blue traditional aristocratic tight-fitting suit from the old era. It was more like a ballet suit than a noble outfit. Mu Ying's legs were stretched tight by the leggings, revealing a large amount of leg hair. The small cloak behind Mu Ying was made of red velvet with a blue background. The hat on his head was a bright-colored prince's hat with a white feather. He looked exactly like an old nobleman.
No noble family would dress like this nowadays. The only thing that would happen was on stage or in a play.
Sunders was also curious about Mu Ying's appearance and tried to figure out the man's identity. It was not until Monchi mentioned the name "Kundera" that Sunders finally realized what was going on.
Who was Kundera?
Just like Monkey and Rein, Kundera was a truth-finder wizard who stood at the top of the southern region. Also, he belonged to the academy faction, which was extremely rare among level-3 wizards.
The wizard organization he belonged to was called "Torch Academy".
Before Kundera became a sorcerer, he was an actor in a play. His speech and actions were full of artistic tension. Eight out of ten sorcerers he trained later had this kind of exaggerated temperament.
When Monkey mentioned Kundera, Sunders instantly understood Mu Ying's outfit, behavior, and choice of words.
So he was from Extinguished Torch Academy. No wonder he was dressed so exaggeratedly. No wonder he didn't feel uncomfortable being stared at by everyone. He probably imagined a stage in the depths of his heart, and he was the only star on the stage.
Everyone was still curious about Mu Ying's identity. What could Mu Ying do in this place?
Mu Ying touched the ground with his toes and did a 720-degree ballet turn on one leg. He landed on the ground and saluted to Sunders. "Mister Phantom, I will turn this place into a stage. I hope you can buy me one more minute."
A stage? Sunders was surprised. He seemed to have thought of something.
"A puppet show?" Sunders was puzzled.
"Yes." Mu Ying's answer was simple. However, he changed his posture several times and raised his head like a cocky cockfight. Sunders had a vague feeling that Mu Ying was trying to provoke him.
"So Sir Monchi is referring to this piece." Sunders sighed. "I'll buy you another minute to give you enough time to cast a spell."
The adepts on the floating ice started chattering amongst themselves the moment they finished their discussion.
"What kind of work is this? Why does Mister Phantom think that this work can really deal with these two Great Demons?" someone muttered in a low voice.
"Didn't I just tell you? A puppet show." The old voice came from Vifet of Moxa Westland. Vifet had lived for more than eight hundred years. His knowledge and experience were plentiful. As soon as he spoke, the other wizards all looked over.
Vifet continued, "Mr. Kundera has three signature spells, which I'm sure you all know. They are Waltz, Circus, and Puppet Show. Puppet Show is the most suitable one to be used in this situation."
"As for which puppet show, we'll have to see which one of Mister Kundera's works Mu Ying will show us later."
Many of them had heard of Kundera's three signature spells before. However, this was the first time they learned that these spells were not just individual spells. They were the framework of a whole system.
Among them, the waltz was more ceremonial; the circus was more skillful; and the puppet show was a comprehensive performance.
They were now waiting to see which one of Kundera's works would be given to Mu Ying.
At this time, Muying took out a hemispherical object covered by a red curtain. His hands kept dancing on the red curtain, as if he was playing a beautiful piano. The strange energy transformed into silk threads that connected to Mu Ying's slender fingertips. As her fingers danced, the red curtain was slowly pulled apart by the silk threads.
When the curtains were slowly pulled apart by the silk thread, everyone discovered that what was covered by the curtains was actually a "puppet stage" that looked like a child's toy.
At first, there was nothing on the stage. The strings in Mu Ying's hands danced. As the strings continued to weave, the background of the stage slowly appeared.
A full moon was hanging high in the night sky, while the black tower stood tall.
It was the Black Tower Mystery Realm created by Sunders!
After finishing the stage background, Miying seemed very satisfied with her work. She glanced at Sunders proudly and continued to work on other details.
Someone said in surprise, "So, the puppet show is really a puppet show?"
Vifet's eyes glinted. "This is only the construction process. When the puppet show is finished, the whole world will be its stage."
The others did not understand Vifet's meaning. However, they would know soon enough, so they did not ask for more details.
Someone noticed Mu Ying's glare at Sunders and asked, "Why does Mu Ying look like he's provoking Mister Phantom? Does Mu Ying have a grudge against Mister Phantom? "
The others also nodded, and even Meng Qi glanced at Mu Ying.
Vifet chuckled. "Personal grudge? I don't know. But I do know something."
Everyone looked at Vifet and waited for his answer. Even Sunders pricked up his ears. He was also wondering if there was any grudge between him and Mu Ying. Was it because he once complained about Kundra's level of appreciation a hundred years ago, and someone from Rest Torch Academy heard about it? Or did he kill someone from Rest Torch Academy before?
Vifet did not beat around the bush. "I was one of the last people to arrive at the Abyss Plane. Mu Ying and I rode on the same Frost Wing. Someone told us that Brute Cavern sent Angor to the Abyss Plane. "
Even now, they were still wondering why an alchemist with great potential was sent to the Abyss Plane by Rein. Even if Rein Cavern did not hide such a talent, he would not be sent to a dangerous place like the Abyss Plane.
The other wizards on Frost Wing also had the same thought. Some even wondered if Brute Cavern was going to give up on Angor.
"Many wizards tried to get close to Angor. Among them, Mu Ying was the most active. According to what I heard, Mu Ying wanted Angor to leave Brute Cavern and join Rest Torch Academy …"
Before anyone could react, they heard a cold sneer from Sunders' side.
It was a chilling sneer that sent chills down everyone's spine.
They wanted to say something, but they couldn't. Considering that they were in the Mystery Realm of Black Tower, they realized that this was Sunders' doing.
Vifet, on the other hand, was still stroking the gerbil in his hand with a smile on his face.
Sunders silenced them and looked at Mu Ying. He looked calm, but Mu Ying felt an inexplicable pressure rising from the bottom of her heart.
Fortunately, Sunders' Nightmare Domain was still damaged, so he didn't do anything out of the ordinary.
Inside Black Tower's Nightmare Domain, the battle between Minotaurs and Buffett had reached its climax. Each of their attacks twisted the Nightmare Domain and brought Sunders unspeakable pain.
"How much longer?" Sunders asked in a low voice.
Mu Ying was now working on the final stage of the puppet show, which was the main characters of the puppet show: Minotaurs and Buffett.
Both of them were supreme demons, and it was difficult to make them. Mu Ying's forehead was already sweating profusely.
"Right now. Give me another 20 seconds." Mu Ying's fingers moved like a butterfly's wings. The threads twisted and turned until they finally formed the body of a supreme demon.
At this point, the overall script of the stage had already appeared.
Vifet murmured, "Oh, so it's' Puppetry '. That's right. If we want to keep two great demons in check, we have to use the most powerful show."
Vifet spoke, and everyone realized that Sunders did not restrict their voices anymore. Or maybe it was because Sunders was too weak to care about them right now.
"The Eerie Puppet Show is Kundera's most powerful offensive and defensive means. But what I'm more concerned about is that even with the foundation of Kundera's works, it's not easy to set up this puppet show according to Kundera's ideas. For Mu Ying to be able to do this, it seems she's not simple. "Vifet sighed softly.
Currently, Rest Torch Academy had a severe lack of talents. Apart from Kundera, who was the most powerful wizard in the academy, there was no one else worthy of praise. Perhaps Mu Ying's appearance would change this situation in the future.
While Vifet was sighing with emotion, Mu Yin suddenly shouted, "Done!"
As Mu Ying's voice fell, the puppet stage in his hand suddenly began to glow and rotate. After a dazzling radiance, the puppet stage suddenly escaped into the void and disappeared.
While everyone was puzzled, Monchi suddenly raised his head.
In the sky outside the Black Tower's Nightmare Realm, countless thin white threads suddenly extended out. These threads appeared out of thin air and flickered with a mysterious radiance. Moreover, they slowly extended down from the sky.
The threads passed through Black Tower's Nightmare Domain without making a sound. Sunders noticed that he could see the threads clearly, but he could not sense them at all.
So this was the work of a wizard who stood at the top of the southern wizardry region?!
After the threads entered the Black Tower's Nightmare Realm, they were directly connected to the Minotaur and Buffett's bodies. In a situation where they were completely unaware, they were bound like puppets.
Mu Ying spoke to Sunders, "Mister Phantom, you can remove the Nightmare Domain now."
Just as he said, Sunders removed the Nightmare Domain from the Black Tower. When the illusion of the Black Tower vanished, the stage of the puppet show slowly rose up.
Accompanied by an aria, a puppet show with strings appeared in the air.
The stage was illusory and hidden, and the silk thread appeared and disappeared from time to time. The silk thread was connected to the sky, and there was a faint phantom of the controller. This controller was neither Muying nor Kundera, but a huge white doll. The doll's eyes were scarlet, and the corners of its mouth hooked up into a strange smile. Bursts of eerie and strange music came out of its mouth.
On the entire stage, the only entities were the two Great Demons who were being controlled by the threads.
