As a matter of fact, Angor had a good impression of Helen. However, it was more than just a simple love. It was more of a personal appreciation.
He admired Helen's way of handling things. She was decisive and knew when to advance and when to retreat. Helen and Nausica were quite similar when it came to dealing with matters, but they had different beliefs in life. Nausica preferred freedom and freedom, while Helen preferred to abide by the law and order.
Because of this, Angor would think about Helen from time to time.
Although he didn't have a good impression of Swan, Swan seemed to like Helen a lot. With Swan taking care of her, Helen must be doing well.
While Angor was thinking about this, a plump woman on the other side of the arena looked at Angor with a faint smile. Nostalgia flashed in her eyes.
On the arena, the purple-haired Swan first glanced at the chubby woman and then looked at Angor.
Swan frowned. She saw Angor as soon as she entered the arena. There were only empty seats around Angor, which was too obvious. She didn't understand why Angor suddenly came to watch the match without being a judge.
Was it for her? Or for Xili?
Or was it for Helen?
Swan knew that Helen used to have feelings for Angor, but Angor rejected her in a subtle way, and Helen also took a step back. Was Angor planning to go back to her?
Angor didn't know about Swan's complicated thoughts. The reason he had come here had nothing to do with Swan. In fact, he didn't even know that Swan Girl was Swan.
"Let's get off topic. Did you hear what I said? Which one is Phantom Light? Did she lose to Cold-Eyed Cat because she was weak, or was she hiding her true strength? "Sailum tried his best to get the topic back on track.
Angor shook his head. "I didn't watch the match. I don't know."
Sailum said, "Alright. What about this match? Who do you think will win? Phantom Light or Swan Girl? "
Angor looked at the two contestants on the arena. "Swan Girl is quite strong. Her modified form should give her an advantage in the air. I'm not familiar with Dim Light. Let's see if she has any way to deal with it. "
Sailum mumbled, "I hope the Shadow Swan Girl can win. If she can't, at least she can trick Dim Light into revealing his true strength. That way, I can come up with a plan."
That was why Sailum came to watch the battle.
This method was good, but if the gap between the two sides was too great, then it wouldn't work.
For example, everyone knew that Sunders was an excellent illusionist, but when it came to a real battle, they still could not defeat him even if they used all kinds of methods to counter his illusions. Because the difference between them was too great, a single brute force could defeat ten.
Sailum had the same feeling after watching the match.
He had been praying that Xili had admitted defeat to the Cold Eyed Cat because she was not strong enough. However, halfway through the competition, he understood that Xili was definitely not weak. Her endurance was simply beyond his imagination.
On the stage, Xili stood in the darkness and muttered something under her breath. In front of her was a dark whirlpool.
"Level-3 cantrip, Dark Wheel." It was a mature male voice. It sounded elegant as if a noble was whispering in one's ear. However, the speaker was not a noble. It was a thick book.
Sailum's Dark Codex.
Sailum did not buy a ticket for Dark Codex, so he could only hold the book in his hand. A mouth appeared on the cover of Dark Codex, and the voice came from that mouth.
"Including the Dark Spear Execution and Deep Serene Mist, this is already the fifth level-three cantrip that Xili has cast. And it looks like she's doing it with ease. Her mana pool must be more than 90% of level-3 apprentices. " Dark Codex added, "Master, you're also a Dark Apprentice, but you only know a fake level-3 cantrip. You might not be able to use it in a real battle."
Sailum's expression darkened. He gritted his teeth and said, "Just talk about her. Don't mention me."
Angor agreed with Dark Codex. Xili used level-3 cantrips five times in a few minutes, which not only showed how much mana she had, but also how good she was at timing her cantrips.
There was no way Xili could only fight for half a round.
There must be another reason why Xili admitted defeat to Yeh.
Silvan's performance was outstanding as well. Level-3 cantrips were often the deciding factor in a match. Most of the time, it was already impressive for an apprentice to cast a level-3 cantrip once, let alone Silvan who had cast it five times. The fact that Swan was able to withstand five of those attacks was proof that she was no weakling.
However, compared to Xili's terrifying attack, Swan's performance was completely overshadowed and paled in comparison.
Angor also noticed that Xili kept muttering "hope" in her mouth, even though she was walking in the darkness.
Including the thirst in her eyes, the muttering in her mouth, and the light energy that was gradually dissipating, all of this proved one thing. Xili seemed to still have a power with "hope" as its essence.
That must be Xili's trump card.
Unfortunately, Swan had turned into a black-winged goose and seemed to be able to control the air. However, she was still surrounded by Xili's darkness. In the end, she had no choice but to admit defeat and did not force Xili to use her trump card.
Sailum had been wearing a serious expression since the end of the match.
Judging from the current situation, Xili was not as weak as the rumors said. In fact, Sailum believed that if Xili used her full strength to fight against Yeh, there was no telling who would win in the end.
Cold-Eyed Cat was a supernova on the potential ranking list. Xili was not weaker than him, so she must be at the top of the list as well.
Sailum was in great pain. He was only a student from the middle to the last class. Did he really stand a chance against a superstar like her?
Dark Codex saw Sailum's troubled expression and came out of the book. "Dear master, do you need me to analyze it for you?"
Sailum nodded and looked at Dark Codex with a hopeful look.
Dark Codex spoke in a serious tone, "Next, I'll analyze how you should surrender so that you won't embarrass yourself in front of the lady, and you won't get hurt too badly. When the match begins, you can do this first — "
Before Dark Codex could finish, Sailum closed the book with a grim expression.
Dark Codex turned into smoke and disappeared before he could finish.
Leon hesitated and asked, "Dark Codex, he'll be fine, right?" Leon had been living in Fragrant Tavern recently, and Dark Codex often gave him pointers, so Leon respected Dark Codex a lot.
Sailum's expression darkened. "Don't worry. Evil people usually live longer than good people."
After calming down, Sailum looked at Angor with hope.
Angor considered. He had the same idea as Dark Codex. Sailum had not reached level-3 yet, so he would lose if he wanted to fight against Xili. Sailum was not without advantages though. He had Dark Codex and the Sage's Body. However, he did not know how much damage these advantages could do to Xili.
With that in mind, he spoke to Sailum, "How about this? Let me see how strong you are first."
An hour later, inside a sealed arena inside Tower of Infinity, Sailum was panting heavily.
His forehead was covered in sweat as he panted heavily. Opposite him were Dark Codex and Angor, who had turned into a middle-aged gentleman. They were discussing something together.
Not long ago, Sailum used all his skills to fight against an illusion created by Angor.
The illusion was created by Angor after watching Xili's match today.
After Sailum used up most of his moves, Angor finally stopped to discuss with Dark Codex what he called a countermeasure.
A while later, when Sailum's breathing calmed down, Angor and Dark Codex finished their discussion.
Under Sailum's expectant gaze, Angor said, "To be specific, you're still not as good as Xili."
Sailum looked disappointed. Angor gave him a proviso.
"But I've discussed it with Dark Codex. There's still a way to turn the tables."
Under Sailum's hopeful gaze, Angor continued slowly, "Dark Codex will control the scales and perform the reenactment of the law."
Sailum looked up. "That's the only way?"
Angor nodded. "Yes."
Sailum remained silent. No one knew what he was thinking.
