The Rising Star Match.
This was the biggest match in the southern wizarding region recently. After building up its momentum for a year, the match on the last day almost reached the level of Infinity.
The biggest stage in the Tower of Infinity, the Infinity Arena, was packed with people inside and outside.
This was probably the first time in nearly a century that so many supernaturals gathered together. Although these Extraordinaires were basically only apprentices, it was still very shocking.
It was as if they could see the glorious future of the southern wizarding region.
When all the seats inside the Infinity Arena were fully occupied, a bell rang inside the arena.
Following the clanging sound, the entire Infinity Arena turned pitch-black. The uproar in the audience paused for a moment. Taking advantage of this pause, a glowing screen descended from the center of the arena. At the same time, a crisp and beautiful female voice rang in everyone's ears.
"The Infinity Arena is about to begin. Counting down from five."
As the five-second countdown ended, the dome of the Infinite Arena slowly lit up with the light screen as the center. When the light reached its limit, everyone could finally see the inside of the Infinity Arena.
Under the dome was a barren world.
According to the usual procedure, the contestants would draw lots in the backstage, and the winner would choose the arena. However, the narrator did not follow the procedure. Instead, he said, "Next, it's the special judges' turn."
As soon as he finished speaking, the teleportation portal in the middle of the judging room began to light up.
The judges went up one by one according to the order. Angor had already experienced it once, so he was a little calmer. However, he still felt a little embarrassed when it was his turn.
Angor was the last judge to go up, so he received the most attention.
When Angor appeared above the Infinity Arena, everyone only saw a black shadow flashing by.
Last time, he was wearing a noble robe made of jade, which made him look cold and distant. This time, Angor only wore an ordinary black robe, which made him look much more low-key.
Angor did not stay in the air for too long. He looked around and went to his floating seat.
When he sat down, he could still hear the audience talking about him. But he didn't really care about what they were talking about.
After all the judges were seated, the narrator's voice sounded again, "Because today's match is the finals of the Rising Star Competition. Therefore, for the sake of fairness, the venue this time will be chosen by the judges on the spot. "
As soon as he finished speaking, all the judges started whispering to each other.
They obviously didn't expect this to happen.
Although they were a little confused, now that everyone was looking at them, someone had to stand up and pick the flute. There were many apprentices among the judges. Naturally, they did not have the qualifications to participate. Thus, everyone looked at each other and finally fixed their gazes on the special judges.
There were adept-level judges among the permanent judges as well. However, these people were officials of the Tower of Infinity, after all. To avoid suspicion, it was best to leave the selection to the special judges.
There were only a few judges, and everyone was looking at Hydra at the start. Hydra was one of the eighteen observers of the Starliege Church, so he was the best candidate.
"I've already preset my position. Even if I don't use my ability, the Snake in the Tree will collapse all the other probabilities," Hydra said calmly.
As a Prophet, Hydra's every action could trigger a reaction from the school he believed in — the Snake in the Tree.
As everyone remembered, Hydra paid special attention to Onassis. Just as he said, he already had a preset position.
Since Hydra didn't want to do it, they had to look at the other judges. Since Cemone was here to replace Grysius, his status was actually the lowest among the judges. Everyone was looking at the two members of the Research Department.
"How about you, Angor?" Sabot, the permanent judge, suggested.
Now that he was a new member of the research department, he had a high status in the city.
However, Angor shook his head. He only wanted to be a spectator today. He didn't want to be in the limelight.
Time waited for no one. In the end, Farrina, the Water Pattern Witch, accepted the task.
After confirming that Farrina would do it, a Rubik's Cube appeared in front of her. The cube had many small boxes, each of which represented a property of the Infinity Arena.
Farrina tapped the Rubik's Cube, and the spinning Rubik's Cube stopped. Five small squares fell from the air.
The first box was blank. The second small box was a blue symbol. The narrator read out the meaning of the symbol in a soft voice, "Ocean."
The third and fourth boxes were blank. Finally, a symbol appeared on the fifth box. This time, it was a strange symbol of a long-horned head. The narrator quickly explained, "Trolls."
With the appearance of all five panels, the venue of the Infinity Arena's finals was revealed — the Berserk Sea of Trolls.
The audience didn't know what to do when they saw the name of the arena. However, the group of judges had strange expressions on their faces.
Even Farrina had a strange look on her face.
"What's wrong with this place?" Angor asked curiously. His floating seat was very close to Farrina.
"There's nothing wrong with it. But it hasn't been shown for many years." Farrina sighed. "Trolls are the most difficult obstacle in the Infinity Arena. It doesn't matter if it's on land. But if it's in the ocean, it must be those Sea Trolls. "
Each Sea Troll was at least as strong as a level-3 apprentice. Some of them were even stronger than that. However, since this was a competition for new stars, wizard-level Sea Trolls would not be used. Even so, a level-3 Sea Troll would still cause a lot of trouble for the contestants.
Not only did they have to fight against their opponents, but they also had to deal with the dangers of the Sea Trolls.
Compared to the "Hairy Grass Field in the Strong Wind" that Angor got in the Rejuvenation Circle Dance against Deceiver, this match was completely different.
"I can only wish them good luck." Farrina shrugged.
Due to the appearance of the cards, the Infinity Arena began to change. The entire dome was covered by a blue light. Angor could hear the sound of gears turning inside. Several minutes later, with a click, the blue light on the dome slowly disappeared, revealing the scene inside.
The barren plain turned into an ocean.
The sea looked calm, but the sky was covered with dark clouds. The air was heavy, moist, and oppressive, as if a storm was coming.
There were two rocks on the surface of the sea, about ten meters away from each other.
The reason why everyone noticed the reef was because there was a door behind the reef. Obviously, the contestants' entrance was on the reef.
"Contestant: Tromm." The voice beside him appeared at the same time as the words on the screen above his head.
As his voice faded, the door behind Reef opened.
A young man wearing a deer antler hat walked out from behind the door.
