Angor's arrival had yet to calm down. However, the countdown timer on the screen had already reached zero.
The light source in the outer field dimmed once again, leaving only the inside of the dome, the Boundless Arena faintly glowing.
Everyone was forced to look at the Infinity Arena.
When the countdown returned to zero, Dominic, who was bickering with Spivet in a dramatic tone, withdrew his aura and unsheathed his sword. Rose phantoms were floating around him. "Are you ready to pull the curtain on this battle that will end with you losing and me winning?"
"I don't know who will win yet." Spivet touched the red lips of his clown mask with his fingertip, and a dark, sticky mist immediately rushed toward him.
Dominique slowly lowered the thin sword in a seemingly unintentional manner. Just as the tip of the sword touched the ground, a powerful burst of energy suddenly erupted from his body.
The cantrip model he prepared was finally released. The channel of the spell was guided into the sword by his fingertip, which then slowly sank into the ground.
Invisible energy was accumulating in the depths of the ground.
Spivet felt the ground shaking a little. At the same time, he sensed danger coming from under his feet.
As a wizard, Spivet's sense of danger came into play. When he sensed something was wrong, he jumped into the air without hesitation.
As soon as he left the ground, a greedy maw appeared on the ground. Countless thorny vines shot out like a fountain and turned the place where he was standing into a sea of vines.
"You think you're safe just because you're up there? How naive! "
Spivet turned around abruptly, only to see that Dominique had stabbed his rapier into the ground. The rapier immediately turned into countless rose vines.
These rose vines instantly grew to a height of more than ten meters, surrounding Spivet in a circle.
Bright red roses bloomed on the vines one after another.
As the rose buds bloomed, red pollen sprayed out. Countless rose petals also fell from the sky and turned into sharp blades that rushed toward Spivet.
The ground was covered with thorny vines, while the unknown pollen was floating above his head. He was in the middle of nowhere.
He could either break out of this place, or take it head-on.
The former was bound to be entangled by the thorny vines and flower vines, while the latter was basically a sitting duck. Therefore, no matter which option Dominique chose, Spivet would be ….
"He'll lose for sure!"
Just as Dominique was feeling pleased with himself, a cold voice suddenly sounded beside his ear, "Is that so?"
He turned around and saw a clown mask floating behind him.
The strange scarlet smile seemed to be mocking his ignorance.
Dominic glanced at the center of the area that was surrounded by pollen and thorny vines. There was only a cloud of black mist left, but the clown's mask had disappeared.
Furthermore, the black fog inside was getting dimmer and dimmer, and behind the clown mask in front of him, a shadow was faintly discernible!
Dominique's eyes flashed with surprise. How did this Deceiver come out? He clearly didn't do anything, so how did he manage to escape?
While Dominique was shocked, one of the eyes under the clown mask flashed with a dazzling silver light.
Instantly, countless rapiers flew out of the eye. These rapiers were very strange. The handle was carved with a clown's head, and in the middle of the M-shaped clown's cap, there was a shiny silver blade.
Hundreds of clown rapiers were aimed at Dominique.
Dominique was caught off guard and was stabbed in the back of his hand by a clown rapier. The rapier went straight through the back of his hand, forming a bloody hole.
Even though he had a defensive spell on his body, it still pierced through directly. It was obvious how powerful it was!
Seeing that there were more rapiers coming, Dominique didn't dare to take them head-on. He immediately turned the flower vines into layers of protection around him, blocking these extremely sharp rapiers!
However, when the clown rapiers touched the vines, there was no sound at all. Dominique reached out and grabbed them, only to discover that these clown rapiers were all illusions!
Hehehehe, it's all a lie …
The clown's strange laughter reached Dominique's ears.
He seemed to have thought of something, and he suddenly turned around to look at the flower vines from before. He originally thought that Spivet had escaped, but now, he was slowly walking out from inside.
Because Dominique had recalled the flower vines as a defense, there was already a gap in the flower vines. Spivet seemed to be strolling out of a hopeless situation.
"Your flower vine cage is perfect. Unfortunately, you were fooled. "
When Spivet passed by him, Dominique heard him whisper.
Only then did he realize that Spivet didn't escape at all. He only used a clown mask to make Dominique mistakenly think that he had escaped with his life. Then, he used a real clown rapier and countless illusions to force Dominique to recall the flower vines for defense. Then, he walked out openly just like that.
It was effortless.
Dominique's eyes flashed with anger. He was just about to withdraw the flower vines when another clown rapier flew over from not far away.
The blade of the rapier reflected a faint cold light.
Was it an illusion? Dominique hesitated for a moment before withdrawing the vines. But when the clown's rapier pierced his shoulder, Spivet, who was not far away, reminded him with a chuckle.
"It's real this time."
…
Outside the Infinity Arena.
Farrina slowly moved her floating chair closer to Angor. "As expected of the Deceiver. His illusions are both real and fake."
"There's no ripple of illusion nodes. It's just a trick of light and shadow. It's not hard to see through it. "
"Yes. Unfortunately, Dance of Spring fell into the illusion created by the Deceiver and got fooled. Still, to be able to create such an illusion in a match like this, he must be quite skilled. "Farrina paused for a moment." Who do you think will win this match? "
"Dance of Spring." Angor considered for a moment.
"Oh?" Farrina gave him a puzzled look.
"I thought you'd say the Deceiver. He did a great job just now. Also, I heard from Leona that Flora's new student is a rare genius. He's not any slower than you. Of course, I'm talking about apprentices. "
Angor nodded. "Not just apprentices. I'm sure he'll become a wizard just as fast as me."
After all, Spivet used to be the famous "Imp" Gragg.
He might have turned into Spivet, but his memories and experience did not disappear. Sunders even gave him back his space badge. The space badge contained all of Spivet's belongings when he was still a "Imp". With it, he would not be slow in leveling up.
In other words, it was only natural for him to advance quickly. Even if he became a wizard, he would only get back what he lost.
"Then why don't you think he'll win?" Farrina asked. "Or do you know something about Dance of Spring?"
Angor watched the match in silence. He did not know much about Dance of Spring, and he did not think that Dominique could defeat Spivet. Dance of Spring was at a disadvantage in terms of technique, experience, and even items.
One had to know that Spivey's space badge definitely had a lot of props, enough to support his victory.
Still, Angor did not think that Spivet would "choose" to win.
Yes, Angor believed that Spivet would decide the result of the match from the very beginning.
If he wanted to choose victory or defeat, it was all up to him. It all depended on how he acted out the process of victory or defeat.
Since Spivey was in control of the rhythm of the match, would he choose to win or lose?
Angor believed that Spivet would choose to lose.
As for the reason … Angor glanced at the other side of the dome. "Old Night" Cemone was carefully observing the match. He seemed to be doing his job as a judge.
Cemone was the reason why Spivet would choose to lose.
Kmogne and Spivet were close friends. This was what Kmogne had said himself. At that time, both Farrina and Hydra clearly knew about this.
Since they were close friends, Angor decided to reevaluate the match.
Since Spivet was "reborn", he would not reunite with his old friends before reaching or even surpassing Gragg's achievements. In other words, Angor had to avoid letting Cemone see through his disguise in this match.
Since that was the case, he couldn't reveal his trump card. For example, he couldn't use his previous fighting style, the details of his battles, the handling of his battle experience, and the items in his space badge.
Spivet could only use his regular cantrips and new fighting styles. However, it had only been a few years since he was reborn, and he did not learn many new things.
In other words, Spivet's hands and feet were tied, while Dance of Spring could use all his strengths.
Dance of Spring was not weak either. In fact, he was quite strong. Otherwise, the officials would not have assigned him to fight in the first match.
Even if Spivet had the upper hand for a short time, he would not dare to use his full strength, which meant that he would lose.
Angor did not say it out loud. Farrina waited for a long time but did not get an answer. She shrugged and said, "Okay, I thought Spivet would win, but since you said he would lose, I guess he really will lose."
The battle on the battlefield was still going on fiercely.
Five minutes had passed, and as Angor expected, Spivet did not make any effective counterattacks apart from a beautiful opening move.
Also, Dominique was not an idiot. After being tricked twice, he had become more cautious. It wouldn't be easy for Spivet to succeed again by deceiving him.
Even if Spivet did not use any special tricks and only relied on his battle experience, he did not look like he was going to lose.
Farrina sighed. "This Deceiver is very experienced. If he had a few more tricks up his sleeve, this match would be over already."
Angor mumbled to himself. "He has a lot of tricks up his sleeve." Since the "imp" managed to mess up the Edge of Night so badly, he must have a lot of tricks up his sleeve.
He just did not dare to use them now.
Angor sighed. He could only blame his bad luck. If Cemone was not the special judge, Spivet would have won already.
