Melantha showed up beside Baroque without anyone noticing.
After Melantha asked the staff to leave, her expression suddenly became serious. She asked in a questioning tone, "What's wrong?
"Mister Baroque, can you tell me why Bouy gave up on using her main body?"
No one knew Parasite Queen's real name, but Melantha did. Parasite Queen Bouy was an Elementalist who specialized in wood element — parasitism.
By using her parasite, Bouy could learn everything about another person. She could even … replace the original owner.
Melantha also knew more than that.
For example, Bouy seemed to have joined Brute Cavern, but she was actually a spy planted by Floating Mech City.
Wizard organizations were never friendly to each other. Some were close, while others were distant. However, no matter how close two adept organizations were, it was very likely that there were spies in each other's midst.
Floating Mech City and Brute Cavern were not allies, but they were close partners. Even so, Melantha knew about several spies sent by Floating Mech City in Brute Cavern.
Bouy was the weakest one among them.
Since Melantha knew Bouy's true identity, she paid a lot of attention to her.
In normal matches, Bouy would use her main body to infect her opponent. After winning the match, the spore would not stay in the opponent's body for long, usually from a few days to a few months.
However, if Bouy used her main body, she would be in big trouble.
When Bouy used her main body, it meant that she wanted to switch to a new host.
As long as Bouy did not change her host, her main body would never disappear from the host's body.
Now, Bouy used her main body to infect Angor. Clearly, she wanted to use Angor's body as her new host. Once the infection was complete, Bouy could control or even replace Angor with a single thought.
Baroque chuckled at Melantha's question. "How should I know? Maybe she's tired of her host and wants to switch to a man's body."
Melantha was expressionless, but a hint of anger flashed in her eyes. "Do you think I'll believe that?"
"Why not? Maybe Bouy just wants to experience a man's body. "Baroque was still smiling, but there was a cold glint in his eyes.
"My Lord, it is Bouy's freedom to infect whomever she wishes. But please consider Angor's identity before doing so! " Melantha growled. She did not want to know what would happen if she took over Sunders' student's body.
It was strange that Sunders accepted Angor as a student. Melantha believed there must be something fishy going on between the two of them since they were polar opposites of each other.
Melantha only came to Sky Tower to relax and search for the path of truth. She did not want to know what was going on.
After all, the wrath of a rank 2 Magus was not something she could handle!
Even Floating Mech City would have to consider giving in to a level-2 wizard who had become a truth-finder.
Sunders was known as the "God of Slaughter" in the southern wizarding region.
Baroque looked at Melantha and comforted her with a smile. "Don't worry. It's a fight between juniors. The elders won't interfere."
Baroque said it casually, but Melantha knew that there was a struggle between the two of them.
This could very well affect the mutual trust between the two adept organizations.
"Mister Baroque, can you tell me what you want?" Melantha tried her best to hold back her anger.
"What do you mean? I don't mean anything. I didn't ask Bouy to use her main body to infect Angor, "Baroque explained. When he saw Melantha's expression twitching, he shrugged. "I just 'accidentally' told her Angor's identity."
"Accidentally?" Melantha rolled her eyes. Bouy was a spy. No one actually asked her to deliver any information. She was just a backup plan. However, Bouy was a stubborn girl. It was Floating Mech City who pulled her out of despair. She wanted to repay her organization, so she came to Brute Cavern as a spy. After all these years, she finally found a "core member" of Brute Cavern. How could she let go of this chance?
"Her infestation is too obvious. She can't hide it from that mister," Melantha explained.
"It doesn't matter. You should know how heartless Sanders is," Baroque said. Melantha knew what he was trying to say.
Apart from Angor, Sunders had two other students. One of them was in another plane, and the other was Flora, who had inherited Sunders' fierceness and had a lot of exposure. However, Sunders never helped Flora when she was on the brink of death and begged him for help.
Sunders was known for his cold-heartedness as well as his "decisiveness".
"Then let's hope Angor doesn't mean anything to Sunders," Melantha said in a self-deprecating tone.
Baroque chuckled. "Not necessarily. Maybe Bouy's infestation failed."
"Is that so?" Melantha knew Baroque did not believe Bouy would fail.
How could a level-2 apprentice fail to infestation the body of a beginner apprentice? No one would believe that.
…
When Baron Milk returned to the arena, he was greeted by the angry roars of the audience. They were all against him.
Even David, who was sitting in a corner, was frowning. He looked at Parasite Queen, who was bleeding profusely on the floor. Parasite Queen was dying.
"What the hell is Angor doing? Didn't I tell him to be gentle?" Dave complained in his mind.
Suddenly, someone in the audience yelled, "Look!
"Look! Baron Milk is down!"
As expected, Baron Milk, who was in the center of the arena, was lying on the ground. It seemed he could not move at all.
"What's going on? How come even he has fallen?! "Voices of discussion came from all directions.
"Organizers, come out and say something. What's going on? Both contestants are down. Who's the winner? "
"Why isn't the match over yet? Did we pay for the tickets just to watch a dead body on the ground? "
Some young men who were attracted by Parasite Queen also joined in. "Yeah! Organizers, announce the result! It doesn't matter if our goddess loses! She's going to die if she keeps bleeding! "
However, no matter how much the audience yelled, the workers standing beside the arena did not move. They were informed by their superiors that the match was not over yet, so they would not announce the result.
Such indifference annoyed the audience even more. They began to curse the organizers of Sky Tower again. Of course, most of them were cursing the main culprit, Baron Milk.
Only a few people in the audience were worried about Baron Milk.
However, in one of the VIP seats, a hooded man was glaring at Parasite Queen's bleeding body with a vicious look. "Keep bleeding! Hurry up! Bleed all the blood out of you! You hurt my treasure! I'll make you wish you were dead! When you die, I'll throw your soul into the furnace so you'll never see the light of day again! "
…
Toby flapped his wings and circled around Angor worriedly. What's going on? I already defeated that stinky woman. Why isn't my young master awake yet?
Toby sneaked under Angor's hood and pecked Angor's face with his sharp beak.
"Grrr … grrr … grrr …"
However, Angor's eyes remained closed and he did not respond. Just like … just like a corpse.
For the first time since its birth, Toby felt a sense of fear.
Toby might bicker with Angor all the time, but he knew how much Toby enjoyed spending time with Angor.
Toby did not cause the current situation. But Toby blamed himself for being too weak. Otherwise, Angor would not have gotten hurt.
Toby never really thought about whether he was strong or weak. Since he was born, he did not have any natural enemies, and no one wanted to kill him. Therefore, when it came to increasing its strength, it had an attitude of "strong or weak".
But at this moment, Toby desperately wanted to become stronger so that he could protect the people he wanted to protect.
…
Angor had no idea about the audience's discussion, Dave's complaint, the attention of a certain pervert, and Toby's change of mind.
Just as Baroque had said, he was still on the battlefield. However, it wasn't a battlefield in the real world. It was a battlefield that he had never imagined.
A battlefield where his body and soul were fighting.
The cause of all this was the moment when the match began.
When the countdown on the screen ended, Angor quickly moved to cast a defensive spell on himself.
But at that moment, he vaguely saw a shadow made of green particles appearing in his vision.
It did not appear in front of his eyes. Instead, it was projected into his imaging system.
The shadow appeared to be a woman.
Before he could figure out what was going on, he suddenly lost control of his body and fell into a strange environment.
It was like he was in his mind space. Everything was dark and chaotic, but he did not have the Axes of the Universe or his spirit model.
He could not feel his body at all. It was as if he had turned into a mere thought.
At this moment, in the dark space of his mind, a green light suddenly appeared. Long and flat green plants appeared in front of his eyes, and finally surrounded and intersected, arching out a green bud like a flower bud.
As soon as the bud appeared, it began to blossom in a dazzling manner. When the bud fully opened, it turned into layers of green flowers that looked like roses.
In the center of the flowers, a woman with a graceful figure slowly rose.
