The next day, Angor brought Leon to the Sky Tower to watch the matches as usual.
Some of the matches were evenly matched, while others were one-sided. The one that left the deepest impression on Leon was the match of King Saar, "The Basher".
Angor saw this apprentice called King Saar when they first arrived at the Sky Tower yesterday. He was dragging an iron ball of unknown weight behind him, which made a lot of noise when he walked, which caused quite a commotion in the square.
The reason why Leon remembered this man so well was because he showed his crazy and cruel side during the match.
He was a murderous maniac.
His opponent was about to surrender, but he was one step too slow, and King Saar used the iron ball to smash his head open.
According to the spectators, this was the eighth person King Saar had killed in the arena.
The number of deaths was small, but it was still a shocking number in the lower levels of the Sky Tower. The lower levels of the Sky Tower were all about the same in terms of strength. Even if there was a slight advantage, they could still hold on until they wanted to surrender. Besides, the Sky Tower had a perfect healing system. As long as you didn't die on the spot, you could be saved.
Of course, this was only limited to the lower levels. The higher levels of the Sky Tower wouldn't give you the chance to surrender if they wanted to kill you.
This was the first time Leon had seen someone die in a Sky Tower match. It was a huge shock to him. After the contestant died, the audience cheered as if they were happy that they had bought the tickets. This made Leon feel the coldness of the wizarding world.
Leon was glad that Angor brought him here to watch the matches before he officially joined the Sky Tower matches. As the matches went on, Angor's perspective kept changing, and he was getting closer to the reality of the wizarding world.
After watching several matches in a row, Angor finally came to the Tower of Infinity.
The matches in the Tower of Infinity were not open to spectators unless they were important matches.
This was why he didn't come to watch Nausica's match even though he already knew about it.
They arrived at the same time when Nausica's match was about to end.
Although the competition was not open to spectators, the screen still broadcasted the battle situation at the appropriate time.
[Blackberry King defeated Frost Secret Sorcerer and obtained the corresponding points …]
Judging from the information on the screen, Nausica's opponent was most likely an Elementalist. Bloodline Elementalists were the bane of Elementalists. Nausica spent less than five minutes in the fight.
It was either a crushing defeat, or the opponent had admitted defeat.
She finished the fight in such a short time, so Angor assumed that she would keep fighting.
Not long after, another row of words flashed on the screen. "One hour later, King of Blackberry VS Slug of Light! Note: This battle is a promotion battle. "
Angor was surprised. He didn't expect it to be a promotion battle.
If she won, she would be able to enter the fourth level of Tower of Infinity.
Moreover, the promotion battles were considered important in the Tower of Infinity, so they were open to the public.
At the same time, the number of spectators behind the screen began to jump.
Angor quickly bought two tickets and brought Leon to the arena. They didn't meet Glenn today, so it was impossible for them to get in through the back door. They had to find a better place to watch the match.
However, when they arrived at the arena, Angor realized that they didn't need to do that at all.
Because the information on the screen had already been displayed for close to ten minutes, the number of people who had chosen to watch the match had only reached 18 people. Moreover, it had not continued to increase for several minutes, stopping at 18 people.
At this rate, there would be less than a hundred people watching the match.
This was the difference between the Tower of Infinity and Sky Tower.
Angor thought that the matches in the Tower of Infinity would attract more spectators because they were more advanced. It was true that the Tower of Infinity had a high threshold. Most of the matches in the Tower of Infinity were also very advanced. The ticket price was ten times more expensive than the Sky Tower's.
However, the so-called "advanced" matches were mostly for those who had reached Level 30 or above.
The matches in the Tower of Infinity's thirtieth level were basically the same as the ones in Sky Tower. However, the ticket price was much higher than the Sky Tower's. Naturally, no one would choose the more expensive match.
Besides, the "King of Blackberries" wasn't particularly famous. It was normal that no one would pay attention to her matches.
When Angor arrived at the arena, he and Leon were the only two people there.
There were still fifty minutes before the match began. Angor decided to tell Leon about Nausica's story.
Angor brought Leon here because he wanted to expand Leon's social network. Besides, Nausica and Leon were both Bloodline Masters. Perhaps Leon could learn something from her.
After talking for about twenty minutes, only then did a few people arrive from the audience seats.
When there were only ten minutes left, all the reserved seats were here. Angor overestimated the number of spectators. There were only thirty or so people watching the match.
Angor also saw someone familiar among them.
It was Shan, the little girl who was riding on the neck of a big guy. She was sitting in the front row closest to the arena and was looking at the contestants' passage.
Angor knew that Shan, Shiliew, and Nausica were good friends, so he wasn't surprised to see Shan here.
He wondered if Shiliew was here.
Yesterday, Glenn told him that Jebra was here to participate in the Rising Star Competition. Would Jebra fight Shiliew? It would be interesting if they were to really fight each other.
As Angor pondered, a contestant finally came out of the passage.
The light slug was a man wearing a white wizard robe. His eyes seemed to be glowing from afar. However, upon closer inspection, one would notice that it wasn't his pupils that were glowing. Instead, it was the white slugs that crawled around his body.
Nausica also came out of the passage.
It had been almost a year since they last met, but Nausica's body and appearance didn't change at all.
Her tight brown leather suit accentuated her voluptuous figure. Her hair scattered over her shoulders gave her a seductive aura. However, the rapier on her waist, the shoulder armor on her leather suit, and the cloak connected to her shoulder armor made her look both sexy and powerful.
Nausica greeted Shan and completely blocked all information from the outside world. She focused all her attention on her opponent.
Time passed, and when the whistle for the start of the match sounded, both sides made their moves.
The match ended faster than Angor expected.
In less than ten minutes, Nausica was the only one left standing on the stage.
Leon was still in a daze. Among all the matches he watched, this was the only one he couldn't understand at all.
He couldn't even follow the movements of the two contestants with his naked eyes. All he saw was two gray shadows moving quickly.
How did Nausica win? What happened in between? Leon didn't know.
In the end, Angor used his illusion to recreate the most important parts of the match and slowed it down. This allowed Leon to see what was going on.
"They're evenly matched. It's a pity that this light slug is unlucky," Leon lamented after he finished watching the battle.
"Really?" Angor shook his head with a smile. "Take a closer look."
This time, not only did he slow down the speed of the illusion, but he also enlarged several key locations in the illusion.
Leon took a closer look and was surprised by what he saw.
He was right about one thing. In terms of strength, Nausica and the light slug were about the same.
However, the reason why he thought the light slug was unlucky was because of the last fight.
The light slug was a Summoner and was very good at controlling insects. It used all kinds of slugs to attack Nausica during the match. However, Nausica defeated all of them one by one.
In the last fight, the light slug seemed to have run out of slugs. Nausica still managed to get close to it.
The light slug had reached its most dangerous moment.
However, at the last moment, the light slug used some unknown method to use the blood on the tip of its tongue to spit out a highly toxic blood slug.
By the time Nausica realized what happened, the blood slug had already bitten her arm.
The light slug thought it was going to win. However, Nausica took off her disguise and revealed a fake arm made of steel.
No matter how poisonous the blood slug was, it couldn't do anything to the mechanical arm.
As the light slug watched in despair, Nausica's palm glowed.
A spiral wind appeared and blew the light slug out of the arena.
From Leon's point of view, it was just bad luck. If Nausica's arm was real, it would have been affected by the slug's poison.
However, when Angor used the illusion for the second time, Leon noticed something different.
When the light slug spat out the blood on its tongue, Nausica's skin was covered in a thin layer of runes. Leon didn't notice it at first because she was wearing a thick leather armor.
"These are the special runes created by activating the bloodline of a Nether Demon. They provide strong defense and poison resistance. The blood slug won't do anything to Nausica's skin," Angor explained.
More importantly, Nausica only activated her bloodline once in the entire match. If she fully activated her bloodline and turned into a Nether Demon, she would probably end the match much faster.
Also, Nausica only used the mechanical arm at the very last moment, which meant she had been holding back a lot during the match.
Her victory was not due to luck.
