Suddenly, a large amount of frost appeared on the ground. [Zero ↑ Nine △ Little ↑ Say △ Net]
Someone had used Frost Descent!
The apprentices who tried to step on Angor were frozen by the spell and fell to the ground.
This was not the same spell as the one used by "Monarch of Eternal Frost". It covered the entire arena.
The beginner apprentices were caught off guard and all fell to the ground.
While everyone was falling to the ground, a gust of wind brought a large amount of ice shards into the arena.
The whole arena was covered by the dancing ice shards, and all the apprentices' eyes were blocked. They couldn't see their surroundings at all.
"This is the Flying Frost Spell?! A level-3 cantrip, Flying Frost? A level-3 apprentice is attacking! "
"A level-3 apprentice? Could it be … "
At this moment, a voice came from the back of the ring. "David, go and save them. I'll stop this group of trash who only dares to fan the flames."
It was Prome. He did not want to save Angor because he did not want to get involved in "possible" trouble. He was not afraid of these level-1 apprentices at all. Besides, unlike Toby, he could kill whenever he wanted. With his status, no one would dare to cause trouble for him.
"Okay!" Dave put on his goggles and dashed into the Flying Frost.
With the goggles protecting him from the spell, Davy soon found Angor's location.
"Are — are you okay?" Dave almost called Angor's name, but he quickly stopped himself. There were too many people in the arena, and he did not want to expose Angor's real identity.
Angor did not answer. His body was trembling uncontrollably.
Dave moved closer and saw Angor's eyes closed. Sweat covered his forehead, and blood was oozing out of his mouth, ears, eyes, and nose.
"Damn it! What the hell happened? What did that woman do to you?! "Dave cursed Parasite Queen when he saw Angor's condition. He completely forgot that "that woman" was his goddess not long ago.
Angor could not answer him in his current condition. Dave put Angor on his back with an angry look. He put Angor on his back and shouted at Toby, "Toby, let's go!"
Toby was no stranger to David. He was delighted to see David appear. He followed David's voice and rushed out.
With Prome bringing up the rear, they soon broke out of the encirclement. They passed through the contestants' area and arrived at the cableway on the thirteenth floor.
…
On one side of the arena's spectator stands.
Baroque looked a little disappointed. "A level-3 apprentice is willing to save Angor … Looks like we can't find out if Sunders showed up."
"Should we stop them? The cableway can only be used by contestants. The one with the goggles isn't a contestant. You can use that as an excuse to stop us, "Melantha asked.
Baroque shook his head. "Forget it. Let them leave. They are all juniors. I can't be bothered to make things difficult for them. Due to the appearance of a level-3 apprentice, I can't tell how important Angor is to Sunders. What a shame … Let's set Angor's level as' observable 'for now. We'll decide whether to raise it later. "
With the permission of the Sky Tower's higher-ups, the staff did not make things difficult for David. He was allowed to board the cableway.
When the cableway moved, David sighed in relief. The cableway extended in all directions. They should be safe as long as they boarded it.
Dave ran for a long distance while carrying Angor on his back. He only managed to catch his breath when they reached the cableway. Normally, he would envy other contestants who could ride cableways, but he did not feel anything at all when he was in the cableway.
David slowly took off Angor's hood, revealing Angor's blood-stained face.
"What happened?" David mumbled to himself. "You didn't even touch Parasite Queen. How did you get hurt so badly? Also, why did you kill Parasite Queen in a fit of rage? What's going on? "
Angor was unconscious and could not answer David's question.
David used Cleanse to remove the blood on Angor's face. But soon, new blood oozed out.
David's heart skipped a beat. If Angor kept bleeding like this, he would be in big trouble.
The only healing cantrip he knew was to speed up the healing of external injuries. He tried it on Angor already, but it did not work.
After leaving the cableway, David carried Angor to the alchemy shop. Prome soon came in from outside.
"Master, please take a look at Angor. His injuries are too strange. I just checked his body. There are almost no external wounds on his body, but blood keeps seeping out of his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. "David's face was full of anxiety." Healing has no effect on him. "
Prome stepped into the underground warehouse of the shop and saw Angor lying on David's bed, almost naked.
Angor's clothes and alchemy weapons were placed on the bedside table.
The first thing Prome saw was the Trigger Crossbow and a strange golden item. He knew about the Trigger Crossbow, and he even tried to make a replica of it. However, he had never seen the golden item before. Still, he could tell that it was a powerful ranged weapon because he could sense the runes engraved on it.
Prome's eyes lit up. He wanted to check it out. But after being urged by David, he remembered the important matter. He quickly cleared his throat and walked to Angor, pretending that he was not interested in the items.
A moment later, Prome frowned with a strange expression on his face.
"Master, what's wrong with Angor?" David quickly asked when he saw Prome's mana ripple stopped.
"Something's not right," Prome said after a moment of silence.
"What's wrong? Even you can't do anything about it? "
David sounded a little angry, but Prome did not blame him. Instead, he explained, "Healing spells did not work on him. I cast 'Dispel Deceit' on him, and I found that his body is full of impurities."
"Impurities? Isn't it normal for people to have impurities in their bodies? "
Prome shook his head. "It's not impurities like you think. It's a foreign, powdery substance. It's all over his body, including his blood vessels, organs, and bones. He's bleeding because of those impurities. " Prome paused. "I don't know what those impurities are, but it's not easy to get rid of them."
"Green powdery impurities?" David frowned. "Is it Parasite Queen's doing?"
"It must be Parasite Queen. The impurities are not compatible with Angor's organs, so they must have entered his body not long ago. But I'm curious. Why would Parasite Queen do this to Angor? What's going on? " Prome thought about the strange match today. He could not get rid of all the strange details like a cloud of fog.
"Parasite Queen is dead. We can only find out when Angor wakes up. His anger when he woke up didn't seem fake. Even I sensed the hatred in his eyes. I don't think he would kill Parasite Queen for no reason. He must know something, "David said. "But that's not important right now. I just want to know, what should we do now?"
Prome considered for a moment. "The green powder is stubborn. It won't flow out with the blood. How about this? I'll perform a simple surgery on him and take out some of the powder to study. We can only find out what it is. "
"That's the only way."
A moment later, Prome returned with a scalpel in his hand.
After disinfecting Angor's body, Prome was about to cut Angor when someone showed up beside the bed.
"Who is it?" David was startled by the sudden appearance of the figure.
Prome thought it was the "rioters". He did not hide his identity when he was in Sky Tower because he thought no one would dare to mess with him.
Out of instinct, Prome threw the scalpel at the figure.
The scalpel stopped when it was still some distance away from the figure.
Prome looked at the floating scalpel in surprise.
In the next second, the scalpel turned around at an even faster speed. It sliced through Prome's chubby earlobe and stabbed into the wall behind him.
Prome was shocked to see that his mana barrier did not work.
The scalpel left a deep cut on his earlobe. Blood was dripping down.
From David's scream to Prome's throwing knife, everything happened in the blink of an eye. It was only when Prome's ears began to bleed that they realized the identity of the person who had come.
"Y-y-you're Mister Sunders!" David stared at the handsome man in noble attire. He couldn't hide the shock on his face, and he even began to stutter when he spoke.
Prome recognized the newcomer as well. He was still angry about the bleeding ear, but now he realized that Sunders was already being polite. It was a miracle that he only made Sunders bleed a little.
"Mister Sunders!" Prome bowed to Sunders with his trembling hands. "I didn't know it was you, sir. Please forgive my rudeness."
Sunders humphed coldly.
Prome was so scared that he knelt on the ground.
David was still in a state of shock and didn't understand what was going on at the scene.
"Since you saved Angor's life, I'll let it go this time," said Sunders coldly.
Angor? Both Prome and David looked up at the same time. Did Sunders have something to do with Angor?
With that, he waved a hand at Angor who was lying on the bed. Angor immediately disappeared.
"I'm taking Angor with me." Sunders' figure blurred. He was about to leave.
"Wait, sir!"
Sunders paused.
David pointed at the clothes and items on the bedside table. "They're all Angor's."
Prome rolled his eyes in his mind. What an ungrateful bastard. Mister Sunders didn't even take Angor with him, so why are you bringing it up? Can't you just let me study it for a few days?!
Sunders waved his hand again, and the clothes on the bedside table disappeared together with Sunders' body.
David and Prome remained in their bowing positions for three minutes.
Until they were sure Sunders was gone.
Only then did they heave a sigh of relief. Both of them collapsed to the ground.
"In front of an official Magus, my legs and stomach are trembling."
"Yeah … And he's a level-2 wizard, someone who can shake the entire southern wizarding region."
Prome suddenly asked, "What's the relationship between Angor and Mister Sunders?"
David shook his head. "I don't know. Angor never told me."
Prome considered. "I think I heard from a wizard that Mister Sunders took in a new student last year …" He paused and asked, "Do you know who Angor's teacher is?"
David hesitated. "Um … I don't think I know."
