As soon as Deceiver stepped onto Infinity Arena, Angor was stunned.
Even though Deceiver was wearing a clown mask and other disguises, Angor still recognized him right away.
This "Baron Milk" impersonator did have something to do with Angor.
Technically speaking, they were all from the same branch of Phantom Island.
However, Deceiver didn't live in Phantom Island. Instead, he lived in Rockwell Society.
Rockwell Society was Flora's territory.
It was none other than Spivet, Flora's disciple.
Not many people knew who Spivet was. In fact, he didn't even exist in Brute Cavern. But if one were to mention Spivet's former name, there would probably be no one who didn't know him …
"I see you're looking at that Deceiver. You know him?" Farrina finished explaining the rules and looked at Angor.
Angor nodded. "Yes. I didn't see his face before, so I didn't know who he was. Now that I've seen him with my own eyes … "
"Who is he?" Farrina asked curiously.
"He's also from Phantom Island, Flora's student. I don't think he participated in Sky Tower before, so this is the first time I heard his name. Also, his name is … Spivet. "
"I heard Leona mention that Flora had a new disciple. So that's him." Farrina paused. "His name is Spivet? Interesting name. "
"Spivet the Master of Trickery, a legendary wizard from five thousand years ago," Kamerie said. At this moment, Kemone suddenly said, "It seems that this Deceiver is planning to walk the path of the Master of Deception. Not only are their names identical, even their titles are somewhat similar."
"You seem to know a lot about Spivet, Wizard Old Night." Angor frowned. "You know a lot about Spivet.
Cemone shook his head. "I don't know much about Spivet, but I used to have a close friend who liked to study Spivet. He even collected some of the things Spivet left behind."
Kamerie's eyes dimmed a little when he talked about his friend.
"But he died in Sleepless City. I don't even know where his soul went."
"Huh? He died in Sleepless City? Cimone, are you talking about … an imp? "
Cimone nodded solemnly, "Yes, it is the imp Gragg."
Farrina frowned. "I thought his soul had already returned to the Edge of Night. You still haven't found him?"
Farrina thought for a moment. "By the way, did you send a Prophet to look for it?"
Cemone nodded: "My mentor has asked Asatos to search for it, but there is still no news."
When Cimone mentioned Arathos, one of the three heads of Hydra, who was sitting on the other side, turned slightly. Although it did not open its eyes, the head was facing Cimone.
"Did Azathoth not find a single soul?" Hydra asked softly.
This was the first time Angor heard Hydra's voice. It was low and had a strange accent. This kind of accent sounded quiet, but after carefully listening to it, there was a kind of stuffy and uncomfortable feeling. It was like facing the sea before a storm, moist, dull, and surging with undercurrents.
"Yes, he didn't find anything," Cimone said.
"Even Azathoth can't find a soul. Is it true? Or …" Hydra mumbled to itself, but no sound came out.
Azathoth, also known as "Chen Mai's Departed", was one of the 18 Observers of Starliege Church.
Hydra, also known as "Guardian of the Dead Sea", was also an Observer of Starliege Church.
Almost all wizards in the southern wizarding region knew that Hydra had a strange personality. Even as an Observer, Hydra did not have many friends in Starliege Church, but he was very close to Azathoth. No one knew the reason. However, it was said that both Hydra and Azathoth were not in human form. Hydra looked like a three-headed monster while Azathoth looked like a skeleton.
Of course, no one knew whether the rumor was true or not. But it was undeniable that Hydra and Azathoth were close friends.
For example, Cimone noticed that Hydra was very interested in the soul that even Azathoth could not find. Cimone took the opportunity to ask Hydra to help him find Gragg's missing soul.
However, Hydra refused right away. "Since Azathoth already looked for it, I won't help you."
Regardless of whether Hydra could find Gragg's soul or not, it would be like interfering with the deal between Azathoth and the Edge of Night, which would make Azathoth uncomfortable.
As Azathoth's best friend, Hydra would not interfere no matter what.
Besides, Azathoth was known as "Chen Mai's Departed", which meant that he was much better at finding souls than Hydra. If Hydra could not find Gragg's soul, it meant that Hydra could not find it. Or there was something else he could not tell.
Cimone was also troubled by the rejection.
Angor watched the scene in silence. He did not show any emotion on his face, but inside, he felt very uncomfortable.
That was because the person they were looking for was actually right in front of them.
He looked at the stage and saw "Deceiver" Spivet, who was wearing a clown mask.
Spivet was indeed his real name, but his original name was … Gragg.
He was the "Imp" who gave Edge of Night a lot of headaches.
The judging room was silent for a few minutes because there was no topic to talk about. The narrator finally finished introducing all the judges. Now, it was time for the special judges.
"Next up is the special judge that we have invited!" The narrator continued, "The first one is not only a legendary sea wizard, but also a member of the Research Department. His nickname is —"
In the judging room, Farrina smiled and said, "Looks like it's my turn."
With that, Farrina walked down from her seat and walked to the center of the judging room. There was a short-distance teleportation portal there.
Farrina disappeared. At the same time, Farrina slowly appeared on one of the judges' seats floating outside the stage. She was covered in a watery glow.
Farrina's appearance attracted a lot of cheers from the audience. Farrina's identity as a member of the Research and Development Institute aside, her appearance alone was a source of magic that could drive people crazy.
When the audience's emotions were at their peak, the narrator called out the second special judge to take the stage.
"Old Night," Cemogne.
Compared to Farrina, Cemogne didn't get as many cheers. But it was normal since he was only here to replace his teacher, Gragg.
Inside the stage, Deceiver, who had been paying no attention to the outside world, twitched his eyes when he saw Cemogne's face projected on the screen above his head.
When Spivet was Gragg, "Imp" Gragg, his best friend was Cemogne.
Now that he saw Cemogne again, he felt like he was dreaming.
Angor thought it was his turn to be the third judge, but the narrator didn't. "This is an emissary from the Mysterious Waters, one of the observers of Starliege Temple."
It was Hydra, no doubt.
Angor frowned. Did this mean he was the last one?
He already felt ashamed to show up one by one in front of so many people. Now that he was the last one, he felt even more ashamed.
With Hydra's arrival, there was only one seat left floating in the air.
The venue was very quiet. Almost everyone was looking at the empty seats, guessing who would be the special judge for the finale.
Inside one of the VIP rooms inside Infinity Arena, Greya looked at the floating seats and whispered to Leona, "The last one should be Angor's. They'll announce his title when they see it. What do you think his nickname will be? "
"What? Didn't he tell you?" Leona asked.
"I asked him, but he didn't tell me." Greya shook her head. "I heard from Sunders that Angor doesn't have a good sense of aesthetics when it comes to naming. I'm guessing that he chose a bad name and was too embarrassed to tell me. "
Too embarrassed to give a nickname? Leona recalled what Dave told her about Angor's nickname during the Sky Tower competition. She shrugged. "I think it's fine. It can't get any worse."
Greya nodded. "You're right. I like the nickname 'Music Box Sorcerer'. His music box is really unique. I don't think anyone in the entire southern wizarding region can replicate his music box."
Especially the music box that had been integrated with the mysterious manifestation.
"Speaking of which, which aspect will his nickname focus on?" Leona asked, "Illusions or alchemy?"
Normally, a person's nickname usually focused on his or her talent. Of course, there were also nicknames that had nothing to do with his or her talent. For example, "Mediocre" Muse's nickname was often ridiculed by people.
But he didn't think Angor would stray too far away from his own talent. Perhaps he was hesitating between illusions and alchemy.
Which one would he prefer?
"Alchemy, I think. That's what he's most famous for right now," Greya said.
"But he's not bad at illusions either. Besides …" Leona wanted to mention the "Nightmare Form" but decided against it since Greya was an outsider. Instead, she said, "Mister Phantom taught him to focus on illusions. I think his nickname will be more of an illusionary one. "
While they were guessing, the narrator, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke again.
"Our next guest … I'm sure you're all familiar with him. He's the most frequently mentioned person in Floating Mech City in recent years. "
