There was no doubt about the outcome of Arena 7. The referee announced "Scorpion" as the Sword of Condemnation stared at him with a dark expression.
There was nothing interesting about the match. Even Leon was yawning at the end of the match.
Still, it was the first match. Angor tried his best to come up with a conclusion. "When you're strong enough, you can kill a chicken with a butcher's knife."
The second match was held in Arena 18.
When they arrived, they "happened" to see Glenn standing at the entrance of the audience passage. Seeing them arrive, Glen immediately stepped forward and said, "I just came here and was wondering if I would meet you. I didn't expect to meet you. Why don't we go together?"
Angor didn't believe Glenn's words. Leon didn't care about Glenn at all. But now, he realized something was wrong with the man. The audience passage of Arena 18 was filled with people, and Glenn was the only one standing at the entrance. It didn't look like a "coincidence" at all.
Leon tried to give Angor a hint so that he could refuse Glenn's request. But before he could, Angor already nodded. "Sure."
Glenn immediately smiled brightly when he received a positive answer.
There were still ten minutes before the match began, but when they entered the arena, they saw that all the seats were taken.
Glenn frowned. "I asked some friends to reserve seats for me. Wait here, I'll go check it out."
With that, Glenn walked toward a certain direction.
After Glenn left, Leon immediately said, "There's something wrong with this person. You should have rejected him before."
"Did you see where he went just now?"
Leon was surprised. He didn't see where Glen was going because he was too busy talking to Angor.
"He went to the backstage area where the workers are." Angor explained, "I've seen him before. He seemed to have some connection with a wizard from Floating Mech City. Now, I think I was right."
"You mean he's from Floating Mech City, and he's trying to get close to you?" Leon frowned.
"I don't know what he's after. But since he's from Floating Mech City, he must know a lot. That's why I didn't refuse him."
Leon didn't know what Angor was talking about, but Gren was already walking toward them, so Leon had to keep his mouth shut.
"I've already told my friends. There are three seats over there. Come with me."
In the overcrowded arena, Glenn miraculously led them to three empty seats in the spectator area with an excellent view.
Angor did not care how he got the seat. Instead, he listened to Glen's explanation.
Glenn kept talking about science all the way, mainly about the contestants on both sides of the competition.
Leon listened for a while and felt confused. Glenn had said too many special nouns.
Under such circumstances, Leon could only place his gaze on the arena.
Not long ago, the audience erupted in an earth-shattering roar as the two contestants stood on the stage.
The screen above his head also showed a countdown. "Caged Bird VS Delusional Thoughts, five minutes until the battle begins! "
The audience was overwhelmingly supportive of "Caged Bird", and Leon was also carefully observing this extremely popular female apprentice. There was a reason why "Caged Bird" was so popular.
She was extremely beautiful, in an evil way.
She was dressed like a clown in a circus. She looked colorful and full of bold colors, but she was not bloated. The biggest highlight was her hairstyle. Her brown hair was woven into the shape of a bird's cage, which extended all the way to her neck. Her entire head was covered in the cage.
"No wonder she's called" Caged Bird "," Leon finally realized.
The other contestant, Delusional Thoughts, was much more low-key compared to Caged Bird. He stood quietly on the other side of the arena with black mist rolling around his body, which prevented people from seeing him clearly. Although Wild Thoughts was not as flashy as the Caged Bird, Leon inexplicably felt that he had a faint deterrence.
This battle would be more exciting than the previous one.
Although Leon did not know who would win in the end, the anticipation in his heart slowly rose to a high point.
With only one minute left in the countdown, the cheers from the audience had already reached a deafening level. In such a noise, Glenn had no choice but to temporarily suppress the soul of science.
Glenn regretted that he did not finish his sentence. Angor was also disappointed because he already got a lot of useful information from Glenn.
After telling Angor about the contestants, Glenn began to talk about the seeded contestants. Angor already wanted to know more about them, so he was more than happy to listen since Glenn was the one who started talking.
Among the seeded contestants mentioned by Glenn, Dave, Sailum, and Nausica, Angor still heard a familiar name — Cat Lantern Witch.
Cat Lantern Witch was actually Mister Kanter's only disciple, Keely Rodran Lilith.
The name "Cat Lantern" was given by the audience because she always carried an oil lamp in her hand and had a black cat following her around. Keely's real nickname was "Hellfire".
According to Glenn, Keely only arrived at Floating Mech City a few days ago to join the competition. She had never joined Sky Tower before, and she only got an invitation card from Kanter when she went to the purification garden. If she wanted to join the competition, she had to start from the first level.
Sky Tower was open to the public all day long, but Keely was still on the seventh level due to the short duration of the competition.
However, Keely's name had already spread far and wide. It took her less than a week to get from the first level to the seventh without losing a single match.
According to Glenn, Keely was still waiting for battle on the seventh floor.
He decided to visit Keely after the match was over.
"Let the match begin!" At this time, the referee's bugle sounded. The match of the 18th arena had finally begun!
Angor also looked at the stage.
The Caged Bird had a unique appearance, but Angor had seen too many strange people. He only gave it a quick glance before he shifted his attention to Wishful Thought on the other side.
According to Glenn, Wishful Thought was the "seeded contestant" who had the potential to pass the competition. But just like Keely, Wishful Thought had never climbed a Sky Tower before, so he had to start from the first level. This was Wishful Thought's first match.
Angor looked at the two contestants and came to a conclusion.
Wishful Thought was a level-3 apprentice, perhaps even a top-level one. As for Caged Bird, he was a level-2 apprentice as well. However, Wishful Thought didn't stand a chance against him.
The match began as soon as he made up his mind.
Caged Bird took out two colorful sticks that looked like clowns. He twirled the sticks in his hands nimbly, and the sticks shone brightly.
The dazzling effect caused a round of cheers from the audience.
Caged Bird also enjoyed being the center of attention. He quickly moved around the stage like a bolt of lightning while casting a dazzling light at Wishful Thought.
Angor was a little surprised to see this. Since there was a countdown timer, all the contestants would plan their cantrip models in their mind space in advance. Once the match began, both contestants would be able to cast their spells instantly.
The first cantrip model they chose would be the one they were most familiar with.
Angor was surprised to see that Caged Bird's first cantrip was an illusion cantrip.
The dazzling light was actually a variation of a basic illusion. While casting the illusion, Caged Bird also launched a melee attack, which was typical of Illusionist apprentices. Their early attacks were weak and could only be used for long-range attacks.
Someone who wasn't familiar with illusions would lose his or her sense of direction. However, Caged Bird was facing a top-level apprentice.
Wishful Thought remained unmoved despite the illusion. To the audience, it seemed that Caged Bird's illusions had already confused him.
The audience also cheered loudly. It seemed like victory was already in sight.
Caged Bird didn't notice anything wrong either. He was still approaching Wishful Thought.
However, when Caged Bird was less than ten meters away from Wishful Thought, Wishful Thought suddenly looked up. The dark aura on his face faded away a little, revealing his cold and lifeless eyes.
The moment Caged Bird saw the pair of eyes, it immediately felt that something was wrong.
She quickly applied a brake.
At the same time, her colorful rods spun like a windmill and created a rainbow-like barrier in front of her.
However, her efforts were in vain.
Wishful Thought moved again. In everyone's eyes, Wishful Thought seemed to have teleported and disappeared from the spot. One second later, Wishful Thought reappeared ten meters behind Caged Bird.
Wang Shishi walked towards the edge of the arena without looking back. The Caged Bird behind him was dislocated at the waist with a screeching sound, and its entire body was chopped into two!
The winner was decided!
The winner was decided!
The referee was also stunned. He only announced Wishful Thought's victory after he left the stage. At the same time, several medics rushed to the stage to save Caged Bird.
There was silence in the audience.
No one had expected that the final result would be like this.
They were cheering for their goddess just a second ago, but the next second, the battle was over. They couldn't accept it.
When Wishful Thought left the stage and disappeared into the passageway, the audience finally went into an uproar.
Angor looked at Leon and asked, "Let's go.
Wishful Thought was much stronger than a first-level apprentice. Angor was worried that Leon would be affected by such a scene.
However, Angor was glad to see Leon's glowing eyes. Leon didn't seem to be afraid of watching a high-level battle. Instead, he seemed to be greatly encouraged.
Angor sighed in relief.
