After fighting for half an hour, Shiliew finally won.
Although Shiliew was the final winner, Angor still believed that this "Shining Star" had something else to offer.
The real name of this "Shining Star" was Izmir.
The reason why they knew his name was because when he went on stage, his smile was as bright as the sun. He used a voice amplification spell to shout to all the audience, regardless of whether they supported him or not, "I am the shining new star, Izmi. Izmi is the shining new star!"
Not only did it sound shameful, it also sounded very chuunibyou.
However, when paired with Izmi's energetic and sunny smile, she attracted a wave of favorability from her female fans.
From the beginning of the match until the end, Izmir would always smile at the audience whenever he had a chance.
There were wizards who often smiled, but only a few of them would smile from the bottom of their eyes. Izmir's smile was something Angor rarely saw, and it came from the bottom of his heart.
As long as he had the support of the audience, Izmir would always be happy.
Even when he lost to Shiliew in the end, and when his face turned pale and blood oozed out of his mouth, or when his fans looked at him with pity, he would still show them a comforting smile.
However, this "Shining Star" was actually a Necromancer who was surrounded by the aura of death.
Izmir was similar to "Astral Soul" Saka in that both of them controlled undead spirits. Usually, such Necromancers tended to have dark personalities. But Izmir didn't look like a Necromancer at all. Instead, he looked more like a priest who worshiped fire and light.
It was said that Izmir spent most of his time in the wizarding world and spent most of his time with the dead.
Angor was surprised that someone like this could still smile so brightly.
There was no doubt that he was much stronger than Saka. Unfortunately, his opponent was Shiliew who was on drugs. As long as Shiliew didn't fall asleep, few people could defeat her.
If Shiliew went crazy, she could even burn her opponent's blood. But so far, Shiliew only went crazy when she was fighting against Jebra.
The match was over. Izmir lost, but he left a good impression on Angor. At least compared to Saka, Izmi was much better.
After Shiliew finished her game, she fell asleep in the hallway before she even reached the backstage area.
It was Nausica who carried Shiliew back.
Instead of following them to Twilight Pavilion, Angor returned to Padt Manor alone. At night, Angor checked his transmitter to check his progress.
All the matches for the day were over.
There was no suspense in the match between Keely and "Spring Dancer" Dominique. Keely won.
Apart from that, he also paid attention to the other matches.
Jebra, who was known as the strongest apprentice, defeated his opponent without a doubt. But since Shiliew and Jebra were in the same group, it was very likely that they would run into each other. If they did, Angor could only pray for Jebra's safety.
Carveline and Onassis had also advanced.
After all, she was wearing the Shepherd God's robe, so she had a good chance of winning.
As for "Philosopher" Onassis from Utopia Academy, he was a dark horse. So far, the judges had not been able to tell anything about him. Angor had been keeping an eye on him. If he had time, he would even go and watch the man's matches.
Apart from these candidates, there were a few other matches that surprised Angor.
"Devourer's Spirit" Sinehowze, who was a good friend of Carveline, lost. She lost to "Phantom Deer" Trom.
Xili, who fought against Sailum for a long time, lost as well. Her opponent, "Philosopher" Suatutai, was also a member of Song of the Deep, just like Jebra.
Shalee, the student of Water Witch, lost to Azaz, who wasn't famous at all.
Angor was quite optimistic about the trio's chances. He had witnessed their strength with his own eyes and knew that they were the best fighters among their peers.
Unfortunately, all of them lost.
But it also meant that there were quite a lot of hidden talents in this competition.
When Angor was checking the results of his matches, his transmitter suddenly glowed. Surprised, Angor quickly tapped the energy node on the device.
A pale blue humanoid light spirit emerged from the thin glass screen of the communicator.
"Good evening, Mister Padt," the spirit spoke in an elegant tone.
"Oh, it's Antonio. What's the matter?" Angor asked.
"Mister Padt, it's like this —"
Angor slowly understood what was going on. After arguing for two weeks, Muse and Lawson finally decided to send people to the Ancient Inferior World to look for Ivo. In other words, they were going to find the Box of Reincarnation.
Angor already knew about this. Lawson and Muse had been arguing for a long time, but they already agreed that they had to find a way to save Ivo.
It was only a matter of time before they sent people to Angor's aid.
According to Antonio, Granny Fingernail would also go with them.
Angor wasn't surprised by this news, but it made sense. For Granny Fingernail, finding Ivo wasn't just a way to tie her down. It was also a way to untie the knot in her heart.
If not for this, Granny Fingernail would have stayed away from alchemy for a thousand years.
That was why Antonio told Angor about this.
When he arrived at the research center, he saw many special airships already stationed around the area. They were all people sent out to search for the treasure.
Granny Fingernail didn't stand in the crowd. Instead, she stood by herself and looked at the distant sky. It was as if she could see through the dark sky and see a figure standing on the other side of time.
Angor slowly approached without saying anything.
Granny Fingernail lowered her head and looked at Angor. "Do you think it's impulsive of me to leave?"
"It's Granny's choice," said Angor, but he did not say it out loud.
Granny Fingernail shook her head. "I'm not impulsive. I'm not going to look for Ivo. I'm only going to build a station in the Ancient Inferior World, just like how Horus came to Floating Mech City. "
Anyone could go and build a station, right?
Granny Fingernail noticed Angor's confusion. "I just want to be closer."
'Get closer?' Angor still didn't know what Granny Fingernail was thinking.
"Don't worry. I won't go inside even if I find the Box of Reincarnation," Granny Fingernail said.
He took out a small box and handed it to Granny Fingernail. "This is my new Confinement Shadow. Consider it a parting gift for you."
Granny Fingernail looked at the box in her hand with a gentle gaze.
"If it's anything else, I'll refuse. But I'm more than happy to accept this Confinement Shadow. " Granny Fingernail paused. "I don't have anything else to give you. How about this? I'm leaving anyway, so my Alchemy House —"
Angor quickly shook his head. "No, thanks. I'll give it to you."
Granny Fingernail glared at Angor. "What? You think I'm going to give you my Alchemy House? I'm only going away for a while. Maybe I'll be back in a month or two. "
Angor felt a little embarrassed. He really thought Granny Fingernail was going to give him the Alchemy House.
"What I mean is, for the time being, I will let my incense puppet, Neha, manage the nail alchemy house. If you need any materials in the future, you can go to Neha, and I will let Neha sell them to you."
Angor nodded. It wasn't a bad thing to be able to buy materials at a cheaper price.
Granny Fingernail nodded at Angor. "Time's up. I'll be going now."
When the airship slowly disappeared into the distance, Granny Fingernail's figure also disappeared. Granny Fingernail's last words were still lingering in the wind.
"Thanks to you, I got to know about Ivo. Anyway … thank you."
