But Angor didn't have time to be surprised because the other side was already on fire.
Toby was completely stunned when he heard that Greya might be dead. Before Angor could figure out how to comfort the bird, Twilight on the stage announced the price of the eyeless man again.
Toby immediately flew into a rage. His emotions instantly reached the peak of anger.
Toby's outburst this time was completely different from the music box incident. When the music box was put up for auction, Toby felt betrayed and was more afraid of Angor's scolding, so he tried to put on a show and asked Angor to comfort him.
But this time, Toby didn't put on a show at all. He went all out. When anger rushed to the head, even mortals would dare to pick up weapons in the face of gods. Toby was even more simple-minded. Without hesitation, he used the sequence of gravity and dashed out of Angor's arms.
There was a magic array in the hall that prevented people from casting spells. However, Toby's sequence of gravity belonged to him and was not affected by the magic array.
Like an arrow leaving the bowstring, the car moved as fast as a shooting star, bringing with it a violent sound barrier as it crashed directly into the auction stage.
Angor was terrified. This was a place where wizards gathered, and there were countless powerful figures. Toby was going to get himself killed!
The intense sound of the sound barrier instantly attracted everyone's attention. Including the eyeless man in the iron cage.
The eyeless man had no eyes, but he was still an apprentice. The cage had anti-magic power, but it didn't stop spirit power. The eyeless man knew that he was going to be auctioned, and he lost all hope. When he heard the noise and the discussions around him, he reached out his spirit feelers out of curiosity.
Then he saw a familiar figure … grayish brown feathers, red claws, orange beak, green eyes, and unique clothes …
"Toby?" The eyeless man muttered in surprise, "Why are you here?"
At the same time, Flora raised an eyebrow in Room 35. "Is that Toby?"
One second was just a snap of a finger for mortals. But for wizards, their minds could move in circles countless times.
Twilight, who was on the stage, naturally saw the uproar and the loud noise. She frowned and thought to herself, A bird that has comprehended the sequence of gravity?
Gravity sequence? Brute Cavern? Gravity Garden? Sunders … Twilight's mind turned quickly. If Sunders was involved, should she stop the bird?
While Twilight was still pondering, the workers beside the cage had already begun to respond. The stage was not covered by any magic array, so Angor could see the colorful ripples of mana coming from the auctioneer's body. Clearly, the auctioneer was about to cast a powerful spell.
If Angor didn't want to get involved, the best solution was to stay put and pretend that he didn't know Toby.
Had it been someone else, such as Dave or Prome, he would have chosen to wait and see what would happen.
But today, it was Toby who started the riot. The one who rushed out was his closest friend. In the past six months, Toby had not only helped him a lot, but also saved him countless times. When Angor first came to a strange place, Toby was the one who gave him the courage to face it when he was at his loneliest and most lost.
At this moment, Angor's mind was filled with images of his time with Toby. Toby's arrogance, Toby's mischievousness, Toby's cuteness, and the gentle times when they were together …
Without hesitation, Angor rushed out.
At this moment, he threw aside his rational thoughts, and his emotions and hot-bloodedness took over.
Before Dave and Prome could react, Angor jumped down from the silver card VIP area on the second floor.
"Angor!" Dave yelled and ran to the railings on the second floor. He looked at Angor who was already on the ground with a terrified expression. [Zero ↑ Nine △ Little ↑ Say △ Net]
On the other side, Toby's final target was the eyeless man in the iron cage. The staff on both sides were actually apprentices, so they didn't have any instantaneous spells. While they were preparing their cantrips, Toby had already rushed to the side of the iron cage and smashed a hole in it with brute force.
Then he stopped in front of the eyeless man.
"Toby …" The eyeless man said hoarsely. The eyeless man had no eyes, but at that moment, his emotions were filled with excitement and shock. There was also a trace of disbelief and hesitation.
"Toby!" It was Angor who yelled this time. He tried to jump onto the stage but was stopped by the guards on both sides.
Angor clenched his teeth, took out a golden revolver from his pocket, and fired several shots at the guard. "What? What's going on?" Angor asked.
Because of the magic array, Angor's shots were only normal bullets. They couldn't hurt anyone, but they could interrupt their spells.
Sound barriers, gunshots, and screams … In just a few seconds, the auction hall was thrown into chaos.
The surrounding Magi looked at this rare scene as if they were watching a show. How many years would it take for someone to go against the Twilight Auction Hall to show up again? If they didn't watch it today, they didn't know when the next time would happen. That would be such a shame.
The silence of the onlookers was a stark contrast to the chaos on the stage.
Twilight couldn't wait any longer. Whether the bird was related to Sunders or not, she had to do something! But the bird was a small problem. She had to get rid of this man first to prevent further trouble.
Angor was just a beginner apprentice, so Twilight could easily take care of him. A beam of light shot out from her palm and dashed toward Angor like a bolt of lightning.
Angor was blocked by several guards, and he couldn't use his mana because of the magic array, so he was hit by the beam without any resistance.
The powerful impact carried a destructive force and sent Angor tumbling for dozens of meters before he slammed into the inner hall wall.
The continuous tumbling and the final impact made Angor feel more pain. When he slowly fell down from the wall, the pain reached its peak. Angor almost lost all his senses. The only thing he could feel was the smell of rust, the ringing in his ears, and his pounding heart.
"Angor!" Dave screamed in pain.
Toby also looked back and saw Angor's miserable condition. His body was covered in blood. His shoulder blade was pierced through. His eyes were dazed.
"Tsk tsk tsk. Such a handsome young man. What a pity." Lydia's sarcastic remark came at the right time.
"Ugh … He overestimated himself." It was Flora who spoke. She sat in the box and did not move at all. She did not even think about saving her little junior. She had enemies all over the world. She was even chased all the way to Brute Cavern. But Sunders just stood by and watched.
In this world, one could not rely on anyone. One's own strength was the only thing that mattered. That was what Flora learned.
If she wanted to help, she would only do something of equal value.
In Booth 19, a man in a gentleman's outfit looked up from the dim light and closed his eyes again. The only sound left in the small empty room was a long sigh.
The big screen outside was also broadcasting what happened inside.
In a corner of the hall, the white-robed young man was happily waiting for the auction to end so that he could collect the Azure Bloodline. Suddenly, he was shocked as he looked at the man covered in blood on the big screen with horror.
"An-An-An-Angor!"
…
Angor felt his soul trembling. When he finally calmed down, he found that he could not move at all.
There was a hole in his shoulder blade. His hand was fractured. His leg was broken. There was not a single part of his body that was unharmed. Even his heartbeat was getting weaker.
Angor mocked himself in his mind. How could an apprentice fight against a wizard? The difference in strength was like comparing a mortal to an ant.
After dealing with Angor, Twilight was going to deal with the bird that broke the rules of the auction house.
But when she looked back, she only saw the eyeless man inside the cage. The bird had already flown to the injured young man.
"So they're together. Let's get rid of them together then." Twilight did not show any emotion when she saw Angor's injuries. Only indifference and arrogance remained.
Twilight lifted a hand, and another ray of light similar to the one that injured Angor came at Toby.
"Toby! Dodge!" Angor shouted with all his might.
Toby did not move. If he did, the ray would definitely hit Angor.
Toby was already regretting his decision. When he heard about Greya's death, he was driven by anger and rushed out of the auction house. He failed to save the eyeless man and injured Angor badly. Angor could die at any time now.
"Dodge!"
Toby frantically activated the sequence of gravity. However, the ray of light did not seem to be affected by the material world. It hit Toby without any hesitation.
"Toby!" As both Angor and the eyeless man screamed in pain, the ray of light went through Toby and hit Angor's arm.
Toby's small body drew a parabola in the air and fell beside Angor's feet.
Angor did not care about the wound on his arm. He could not move at all, but he was not blind.
He saw Toby spitting out blood and trembling its wings. The bird looked at Angor with its beady eyes filled with guilt. It seemed that Toby was saying goodbye to Angor for the last time.
Tears poured out of Angor's eyes.
"I don't blame you. It's all my fault. I knew Greya was in trouble. I shouldn't have hidden it from you." Angor's words were incoherent. Toby's eyes slowly lost their luster.
"No."
"No!"
