Both Gray Merchant and the Wise Overseer agreed with Angor's decision.
However, what Hui Shang did not understand was that the nose on the stone slab seemed to be the leader of the other side. Why was it this red-haired, golden-eyed young man who stood out this time?
Who was this red-haired, golden-eyed youth? Was he the illusionist?
If it was really as they had guessed, and this group of people had used illusions to hide, then there was no need to doubt the other party's illusions.
Of all the outstanding illusionary sorcerers in the Southern Region, none of them matched this person's name.
So he must be using a disguise.
Usually, a disguise was used to avoid being recognized, or to avoid being hunted down. Of course, there were also those who preferred to disguise themselves. But considering this, the conditions were a bit too much.
Gray Merchant couldn't think of many powerful illusionary adepts in the southern region based on the above conditions. Personally, he believed that the Masked Man from Phantom Island was the most likely candidate.
Rumor had it that the Masked Man offended an apostle of a demon god in the Abyss Plane and was seen fleeing back to the southern wizarding region. Not long ago, the Masked Man and Flora went to clean up the base camp of demon believers.
The Masked Man was strong, afraid of being recognized by demon believers, and being hunted down by demon believers.
Apart from the genius alchemist, everyone on Phantom Island grew up being hunted down by demon believers. If the Masked Man wanted to use a disguise, he might not be hunted down by demon believers.
But the Masked Man was already on the path of truth.
The red-haired, golden-eyed young man had a strong aura, but Gray Merchant did not think he was a truth-finder yet.
But if it was not the Masked Man, who could it be?
While the gray merchant was secretly speculating, the evil woman floating behind him suddenly made a sound of surprise.
Gray Merchant looked at where the woman was looking and saw the black-robed judge suddenly raise his hands. His fingers touched each other, and a powerful energy wave was released from the gap between his palms.
The energy wave was so powerful that it even affected the flow of air and created an eye of wind. The judge's robe was fluttering in the wind.
At this moment, looking at the darkness above his head, Hui Shang had the illusion that there was an inverted mountain hanging above his head.
Previously, he had thought that the black-robed referee was probably just a subordinate of the Hidden Mirror Being, but now he suddenly felt that something was wrong. Hui Shang had only sensed such a powerful aura from His Excellency Monchi back in the Abyss.
This black-robed referee was actually a peak Rank 3 Magus?!
At the thought of this, the emotions of Hui Shang and the others became very complicated.
When they met the Hidden Mirror Being, they were surprised that there was such a strong person in the underground maze. Even after Hui Shang's most important memories were sealed, he was still thinking about how he must deliver the news to the Bilos Family once he left this place.
Although the underground maze was actually under the control of the Bilos family, the Cang Mirror Man was an unstable variable that must be dealt with as soon as possible.
However, before the Hidden Mirror Man was dealt with, another black-robed judge who was strong enough to stand at the top of the pyramid of the Southern Region had appeared.
Hui Shang was no longer thinking about informing his clan. Instead, he was thinking about how to convince his clan to give up on the underground maze.
While Hui Shang was worried, Fen Mo was even more worried than him.
Fen Mo's experience was not enough to determine the Ruler of Wisdom's exact level. However, when she saw Hui Shang and the evil woman's expressions of fear, she understood that she seemed to have offended a very important person.
Fen Mo pinched the ears of the rabbit in her hands. Her legs were trembling, and even her lips were trembling.
She was thinking about whether she should apologize now. Perhaps the important person would spare her life?
While Fen Mo was still in fear, the energy in the Ruler of Wisdom's palm was already showing signs of expanding. However, he did not allow the energy to spread. Instead, he compressed the energy and caused it to fuse.
As the energy fused, the pillars around them, the ground below them, and the stone walls above them began to spread large amounts of magical runes. These magical runes glowed faintly, which meant that they had been activated.
When all the runes shone, everyone suddenly felt as if the ground beneath their feet had turned into a swamp.
It was as if a hand had reached out from the ground and grabbed their ankles, pulling them into the soft ground.
"No need to resist. I'm just finding a suitable place for your duel." The Ruler of Wisdom's voice echoed in everyone's ears.
To everyone present, the Sovereign of Wisdom's words were as good as nothing. No need to resist? They couldn't resist at all! The pulling force didn't seem strong, but their limbs felt like they had lost all their strength. They couldn't move at all.
However, they also misunderstood. The Ruler of Wisdom's words were not meant for them, but for Angor.
When the Ruler of Wisdom activated the magic array, he noticed that Angor quickly took out a magic array sub-plate and quickly gathered the energy inside it. If Angor wanted to, he could easily take the others to safety.
The Ruler of Wisdom was surprised that Angor could find the only way out of the magic array in such a short time.
The Ruler of Wisdom only said this to prevent Angor from escaping the magic array.
Next, the Ruler of Wisdom spoke to Angor through an encrypted channel. "Since we've already signed a contract, you don't have to be so cautious of me. It's a good thing 'she' already went to the arena. Otherwise, she would already know one of your trump cards. "
Since Angor was an expert in magic arrays, this was one of his trump cards. The Ruler of Wisdom didn't think Angor was stronger than the Goddess, but it could at least buy him some time.
Angor didn't reply right away. Instead, he followed the magic array's power and slowly entered the "arena".
As soon as he arrived at the arena, Angor quickly confirmed his current location.
This was the alternate space where Sisya was. Everything around him was pitch-black, with only a staircase that looked like a rollercoaster floating in the air.
The arena was a giant, circular arena that floated in the air.
Angor and the others stood on the left side of the arena, while Gray Merchant stood on the right. The two sides were more than 500 meters apart. From afar, they looked like tiny dots in the sky.
And this was only the center of the arena. There was also an outer ring. The outer ring was also quite large, where the spectators were.
Angor activated Narda's Vision as soon as he entered the arena.
Under Narda's Vision, information about the materials used in the arena appeared in Angor's mind.
He was pretty sure that the arena was made of the same material as the staircase in the air, which meant it was extremely sturdy.
It looked brand new to the naked eye, but that wasn't the case. On the stage, he found several traces of materials being replaced and repaired.
This meant that this arena wasn't a new arena. Perhaps it had already existed a long time ago. Judging from the large number of repair marks, there must have been a lot of duels in this arena in the past.
At least, Angor couldn't do that right now. It meant that most of the supernaturals who fought in this arena were truth-finder wizards or stronger.
However, this wasn't really useful information. The only thing Angor cared about was …
"There's no magic array in this arena?" Angor asked through the encrypted channel left by the Ruler of Wisdom.
"That's right," the Ruler of Wisdom replied. "There's no magic array here."
The Ruler of Wisdom paused a little and spoke in a nostalgic tone, "In the past, this was the arena of life and death. Whoever was kicked out of the arena was the loser. Do you know why? "
"… Yes, I do."
Angor wasn't the only one who knew. Everyone else also understood the meaning of this arena.
Because at some unknown time, countless huge shadows suddenly appeared around the arena. These shadows were densely packed, and all of them were monsters that had been raised in this alternate space.
The air around them concealed their appearances, but their huge bodies and glowing red eyes proved their existence.
Just think about it, the arena itself was already huge, but these Void Demons were not much smaller than the arena itself. They were all surrounding the arena, eyeing the living people inside with covetous eyes.
"I was going to keep you guessing. Too bad I haven't fed these little cuties in a long time. They're so excited about your arrival."
Angor really didn't understand the Ruler of Wisdom's taste. "Little cuties?"
"So, it was the Ruler of Wisdom's idea to let us fight in this arena, right?"
The reason for this was quite simple. The Wise Sovereign had said that she could influence magic arrays. She had opened a back door for Hui Shang and the others to leave this alternate dimension because of the magic array's safety channel.
There was no magic array in this arena, which meant it wasn't within the Ruler's power.
"That's right. This arena has been covered in dust for ten thousand years. It's rare to see it again. What a memorable moment!" Even as the Wise Ruler reminisced, the Void monster beside the arena let out a deafening howl. "Look, the little cuties can't wait to watch your duel."
Are you sure they want to watch? Not because they're hungry?
"I can't talk to you alone. I can feel someone watching me from the shadows. She's got her eyes on me. Lastly, let me remind you that although she is here to observe your trump cards, and I also hope that you can win without revealing your trump cards, if you have to show your trump cards, don't be stingy. It's more important for you to pass this test than to be targeted by her. "
The Ruler of Wisdom was optimistic about Angor's chances. The demon from the Panic Realm had given them a lot of strength. However, if the demon wasn't included, the result might not be certain.
Angor's illusions were strong, but he wasn't sure if he could use them against a Bloodline Wizard who had great reflexes, speed, strength, and explosive power.
If he couldn't, the Bloodline Wizards would have the upper hand in the duel.
There was another thing. The arena looked big, but it had its limits.
The Ruler of Wisdom once observed Gray Merchant's battle. After activating his bloodline, he could gather tremendous strength in his legs. He could even break the ground with one stomp.
The arena should be able to withstand his stomp. However, Angor would not be able to avoid the energy transfer from the stomp.
Even if Angor tried to hide in the interlayer created by the combination of space and illusions … How was he going to attack? Were they separated by layers of space?
The Ruler of Wisdom wasn't optimistic about Angor's chances. However, if Angor used his trump cards, it wouldn't be hard for him to win.
This was why the Ruler of Wisdom reminded Angor that winning was more important than revealing his trump cards.
Angor took the Wise Man's advice seriously. He was a man of action, and he wouldn't act on impulse. He would use his trump card when necessary.
However, judging from the Ruler of Wisdom's tone, Angor felt he was being underestimated.
Elmi and Velaris … Angor didn't hide them from the beginning. They were his trump cards.
What was a trump card? Anything he showed was definitely not a trump card.
…
"This is where you will fight. In the past, this place was called the Dragon Arena. It was called this because there was a ferocious dragon in the void who loved this place very much. "
The Ruler of Wisdom explained a lot, but only a few people really listened. Most of them were distracted by the monsters around them.
Angor was one of the few who listened to the Ruler of Wisdom's explanation.
Angor had a feeling that the Sage was just spouting nonsense.
A dragon who loved to watch fights? To prevent the dragon from killing people in the void, the Ruler of Wisdom built this arena just for the dragon's entertainment?
It all sounded strange, but Angor couldn't put his finger on it.
But he would be an idiot to agree with these reasons.
Angor even believed that the Ruler of Wisdom was lying. Maybe it wasn't "Dragon Arena" at all, but "Hungry Dragon Arena".
The monsters here didn't like to watch fights at all. They were here to eat people.
After the Ruler of Wisdom finished telling Angor about the history of the arena, he explained the three rules of the arena. First, anyone who was knocked off the arena would lose. Second, there was a limit to the height of the arena, and anyone who went above the limit would lose. Third, anyone who damaged the arena during a fight would have to pay compensation.
Angor knew about these rules. The first two rules were because there were void monsters outside the arena. Angor couldn't leave the safe area to avoid being eaten by the monsters.
However, the first two rules greatly reduced Angor's fighting space, which was beneficial for Bloodline Wizards.
Just like the Sky Tower, Bloodline Wizards were able to dominate the leaderboards of Sky Towers all year round because the Sky Tower limited the fighting space. This was beneficial for Bloodline Wizards, but it was a hindrance to other wizards.
Perhaps the woman in the mirror agreed with the Ruler of Wisdom's decision to hold the duel here because she could see more of Angor's trump cards.
"For the first duel, the color of the ground will decide who will fight first. If the ground is white, it will start from my left. If it's black, it will start from my right. "
The color of the ground? Isn't the ground yellow?
As everyone wondered, the stone tiles on the ground began to intertwine with each other. They finally understood why there was such a thing as black and white.
Three seconds later, the intertwining patterns on the ground gradually disappeared. In the end, the stone tiles on the ground all turned white.
"White, representing the gray merchants, you'll be the first to send out your first combatant."
