However, both the humans' hopes and the demons' worries were all for naught.
Fafnir only came to the top of the tower and didn't help either side. She flew to the other side of the rain cloud and drew a clear line between herself and the demons as if she was a third party.
Angor followed Fafnir as well.
Angor didn't know what was going on. He and Sunders were waiting on the first floor when Nitotep suddenly covered the entire tower with her rain cloud. Then Fafnir and Kanter showed up in front of him.
Fafnir didn't say anything when she arrived. She only sighed in relief when she saw that Angor was fine.
Kanter came to tell Angor about the humans' decision to attack the tower.
Sunders and Fafnir seemed to have discussed something, which led to the current situation. Sunders and Kanter flew to the top of the tower to distract Iyadese while Angor stayed beside Fafnir.
Angor wanted to see if he could learn something from the battle.
He was even more excited when he heard that Monkey was fighting against Orucia. A battle between such monsters was bound to be extraordinary. Maybe he could learn something from them.
But when he looked at the battlefield, he was disappointed.
It wasn't that the battle wasn't exciting. It was that he couldn't see them at all. The battle between Monkey and Orucia was nothing more than a series of illusions. Every time they clashed, a rift would appear in the air.
Angor couldn't see anything at all. He even felt dizzy just by looking at the battle. This was completely different from when he was in the yard of the Hallucination Hut.
"You can't watch a battle of this level just by looking at how they use their energy. As for before, your consciousness was protected by my wind. That's why you could watch a battle between a demon, "Fafnir suddenly explained.
Angor looked at Fafner in surprise. It was the first time Fafner talked to him on his own since he came here.
Also, as far as he knew, Fafnir wasn't someone who would explain something so trivial to him.
Angor gave Fafnir a doubtful look. Was Fafnir doing this out of guilt? If it were not for his great luck and Sunders' help, he would have lost his life in that place.
However, Fafnir's expression remained cold the whole time. He couldn't see anything wrong with it.
Angor shrugged and did not ask further.
"Then can I ask Mister Fafnir to protect me again?" Angor looked at Fafnir expectantly.
Fafna said coldly, "The battle here is not exciting at all. You won't gain anything from it, and it might even affect your future path. "
This was the first time he heard Fafnir saying that he was concerned about his future. Fafnir didn't seem to care about Angor's future.
Angor nodded absentmindedly.
Fafnir was right. Even if Angor managed to see the fight between Olucia and Monkey, he wouldn't be able to learn anything useful. Instead, he might be distracted by the mysteries of the fight and end up losing his way.
"Who do you think will win, Mister Fafnir?" Angor asked Fafnir. "What do you think, Mister Fafnir?"
Fafnir was probably the only one here who could tell what was going on between Monkey and Olucia.
Fafnir considered for a moment. "The human called Monkey has a lot of tricks up his sleeves, including many unexpected attacks. So far, he's suppressing Olucia. However, as a descendant of a demon god, Olucia has only unsealed her true body. Her true spirit and true name are still in her hands. Once she unseals her new powers, we can't tell what will happen. "
True body, true spirit, and true name? Angor remembered reading something similar in the records of a demon god. So the descendant of a demon god also had the same power?
Fafnir seemed to have noticed Angor's confusion. "Olucia's true body, true spirit, and true name are both her own, and not hers at the same time. A descendant of a demon god … this is complicated, and it's hard to explain. All you need to know is that Olucia's current powers are mostly inherited from the Lord of Flameless. The more she uses them, the closer she will be to the Lord of Flameless. Just like you humans, once you become an official Magus, you will begin to choose your own path. Olucia is the same. She came to obtain the Origin Flame because she wants to walk her own path and not follow the path of the Flameless Lord. "
At this point, Fafnir sighed softly in his heart.
Not long ago, she had met Olucia in the Hallucination. At that time, Olucia had asked her a few questions. It wasn't hard to guess that Olucia was looking for the "Lost City" that had long disappeared in the past.
Olucia only had one goal in mind, which was to completely deviate from the path set by the Lord of Flameless.
But sometimes, one couldn't get too deep into the mud without realizing it. It didn't mean that one would find something just by looking for it.
Besides, would the Lord of Flameless really allow Olucia to go on her own path?
Most of the time, she had no choice.
Angor didn't know what Fafnir was thinking. He frowned. "So this is going to be a long, drawn-out battle? But Rasudran has already reached its end … "
"It won't be a drawn-out battle. Just wait and see. We'll see the result soon enough, "Fafnir said in a casual tone.
Not long after Fafnir's words, something really happened on the battlefield.
However, this change did not come from the outcome of the battle itself, but from the top of the Void Tower on the other side.
As he recalled, Tanding and Greywood were also at the top of the tower. However, he didn't pay much attention to them because he was too focused on the battle between Olucia and Monkey.
But now, the top of the tower, which Angor had neglected, was undergoing a shocking change.
An orange-red ray of light suddenly descended from the sky, broke through the rain clouds, and landed on the top of the tower.
When the ray of light reached the top of the tower, it instantly released a blinding light.
The light was so intense that it was rarely seen in this world. In an instant, the dark clouds were swept away by the light. Everyone's vision was blinded for a brief moment before they could no longer see anything.
Fafnir waved a hand and summoned a gust of wind to cover Angor's eyes so that he wouldn't be blinded by the light.
Not only did the light stop the battle in the rain clouds, but it also forced Kanter, who was in his Night form, to revert to his original form.
The light lasted for more than ten seconds, but Angor's vision only returned to normal after a minute.
When he opened his eyes and looked at the Void Tower again, he saw that something had already happened.
Olucia, who had been fighting with Monchi earlier, suddenly returned to the top of the tower. Furthermore, she had changed from her porcelain white body to her human form.
Another thing was that at the top of the tower, with Olucia at the center, countless runes of light suddenly appeared. These runes of light were like a bird's nest, overlapping and encircling Olucia.
"Runes!" Angor called out the name of the runes.
"Yep, runes. So you noticed it too. " Fafnir glanced at Angor. She didn't know what Angor experienced in the underground hall yet. "These runes were created by Olucia's armor. Judging from how intricate they are, they must have been drawn by Scholar of Cruelty himself. This must be one of Olucia's trump cards.
"Monkey tried to attack them, but he couldn't break them. Come to think of it, the effect of this light pattern should be defensive. "
"Protection?" Angor frowned. "What does that mean? Isn't it drawing a circle around the tower? Mister Monkey can't break in, but it can't come out either. "
Before Angor could figure out what was going on, something else happened.
"It's mine! It's all mine! No one can take it away from me!" Following a loud roar, the Void Tower began to tremble.
Angor wasn't the only one. Everyone, including the demons, looked at the bottom of the Void Tower. Something must be causing the tower to shake.
Not long after, a large amount of smoke and dust suddenly gushed up from the bottom of the tower.
Immediately after, a crimson figure suddenly emerged from the smoke and dust. It followed the wall of the tower like a bolt of red lightning, climbing to the top at an extremely fast speed.
Without slowing down, the figure crashed into the runes on the top of the tower.
"Bang!"
The runes flickered for a moment, but nothing happened. Instead, the crimson figure was bounced back by the runes.
It spun around like a spinning top several times before it finally stopped.
It was at this moment that he finally saw the red figure's face.
It had a head that looked like a salamander …
It was Komodo!
…
Angor's eyes flickered when he saw Komodo. Komodo tried to catch him before, and Angor felt a little nervous seeing it again.
However, it seemed Komodo was still mad. Its eyes never left the top of the tower. It didn't notice Angor at all.
"It's mine! It's mine!" Komodo mumbled something and dashed toward the runes again.
In the end, Komodo was sent flying again.
But Komodo didn't mind at all. It kept looking at the top of the tower with a burning gaze and kept running toward the runes.
