On the other side of the arena.
Grey Merchant and his team had thought that victory was in their hands when they saw Dorcas being successfully cursed and having his chest pierced by the blood spear. However, the situation on the battlefield changed too quickly. No one had expected that Dorcas, who had been on the verge of death just a second ago and could have died at any moment after receiving another blow, would suddenly come back to life with full health.
On the other hand, the evil woman, who had the upper hand, suffered a backlash from her curse, and the transplanted Ominous Eye instantly exploded.
Everything happened so quickly that even before their joy was over, it had turned into a head-on blow in the next second.
Fen Mo covered her mouth and shook her head, her eyes wide open. She could not believe what was happening in front of her eyes. Most of the other apprentices were the same. Even the Golem, whose expression could not be seen through the mask, was sighing non-stop.
The Shepherd put away his lazy expression and muttered to himself, "Is this a battle between Magi?"
Reversal, reversal … and reversal again.
The changes in the battle were too fast for the eyes to take in.
Grey Merchant, who had been silent all this time, opened his mouth and said, "The evil woman has lost this round."
There was no uncertainty in Grey Merchant's tone, he was very sure of the result … Even if the duel had not really ended.
Following Grey Merchant's words, the morale of the people who were already at the bottom of the abyss took another hit and became even lower.
Seeing the situation, Grey Merchant said, "However, the outcome of this duel does not have much to do with the evil woman. Who would have thought that a wandering Magus would have a mysterious scroll hidden on him. "
"From the looks of it, the mysterious scroll's effect does not directly attack, it seems more like it has the ability to repair damage and defend. The evil woman's curse was counterattacked by the defensive effect, this is the key to her defeat. "
"So, we can only blame it on bad luck."
Grey Merchant's words slightly calmed everyone's emotions.
However, the youngest Fen Mo, who was always the best at spoiling the mood, was doing the same at this moment, "Then if it were an adult, would he be able to win?"
Although Fen Mo's question was also what everyone was thinking, probably only Fen Mo dared to ask.
Grey Merchant did not blame Fen Mo for asking the question at the wrong time. If he were in Fen Mo's position, he would probably have the same doubts.
"If that mysterious parchment only shows a pure defensive and restorative ability, it's not impossible to win."
Grey Merchant was actually very confident in his own strength. However, in the face of the mysterious leather scroll, he was still a little scared. Therefore, when he answered this question, he didn't give a definite answer.
If he wanted to win against Dorcas who was under the protection of the mysterious parchment, he had to be sure of two things: the effects of the mysterious parchment, and the duration of the mysterious parchment.
From the looks of it, it wasn't an attack, so Hui Shang was confident that he could stall for a while.
However, if the mysterious parchment lasted for a long time, grey merchant might not be able to last until the end.
Therefore, even if the gray merchant's bloodline completely countered Dorcas, when faced with such an unpredictable "variable", the battle would still become anxious and troublesome.
Hui Shang: "However, if I were Dorcas, I probably wouldn't use the mysterious scroll."
With Hui Shang's eyesight, how could he not see that the vile woman didn't immediately kill Dorcas? She even gave him a chance to survive.
Under such circumstances, if he lost, then so be it. All he had to do was slowly recover.
But the mysterious leather scroll was something that could only be used once.
Even if it was the kind of scroll that could be used repeatedly, it would still cause endless trouble. Because … Dorcas was only a wandering wizard with no one to rely on. Even someone as powerful as Mister Monkey would be tempted by such a rare treasure, especially one with recovery properties.
Therefore, even if Hui Shang had the Bilos Family as his backer, he would never use such a scroll in a duel. Unless he was certain that he would die, then there was no need to worry about the consequences.
Dorcas' bold use of the scroll was not even a life-or-death situation. Even if he could win, he would still attract unwanted attention.
Perhaps the mastermind hiding in the mirror would also be tempted by the scroll.
While Hui Shang was thinking about this, Dorcas, as the person in question, knew what was going on.
He had mixed feelings, especially toward Angor. He felt both grateful and resentful at the same time. He was grateful that Angor was willing to give him such a precious scroll, which made him feel happy that he was trusted. This also meant that his strategy of "making friends" was a great success.
Angor must have known about the consequences of using the scroll. No wonder Angor said something like that when he gave the scroll to Angor, "Don't worry about it."
"This is the trump card I'm lending you. If you feel that you have no chance of winning, or are in a life-or-death situation, you can use it. However, you have to think clearly. Once you use the trump card I lent you, you will have to pay a price corresponding to this trump card. "
When Dorcas saw the familiar runes on the scroll, he immediately thought of the "Sunlight Garden" Angor used in Princess' Town. Back then, he used the Sunlight Garden scroll so that Arisa, a talent from Brute Cavern, would not be affected by the curse.
Dorcas felt sorry for Angor because he did not want to use such a precious scroll on a talent.
So Dorcas had seen the Sunlight Garden before.
When Angor gave the scroll to him, Dorcas immediately knew the "truth" about it.
At that time, Dorcas was still thinking that although this Sunlight Garden scroll was indeed very valuable, and even had a trace of mysterious aura within it, Dorcas would still be able to find something that was worth the price.
Because of this, Dorcas did not take Angor's words seriously. He did not even think that he would need to use the scroll one day.
When he activated the scroll and sensed the dense Mystery energy, he knew that he had been tricked by Angor.
Right now, Dorcas felt extremely comfortable and high-spirited. Even the stubborn ailments in his body that could not be cured no matter how hard he tried, as well as the hidden injuries that he never noticed before, were all healed. However, he felt extremely conflicted. He even wanted to kneel on the ground and beg Angor to let him go. How could he afford to pay the price of the scroll?!
Why couldn't he figure it out? It wasn't the final moment yet, so why would he use this leather scroll?!
Dorcas did not even want to fight anymore.
At this moment, his peripheral vision suddenly swept not far away. In the center of the Holy Temple simulated by the light shield, there was a leather scroll suspended motionlessly.
Dorcas's eyes lit up. He ignored the fact that they were still fighting and looked at Angor. "This scroll can be used infinitely, right? Right, right? It has to be! "
Everyone looked at Angor after hearing Dorcas's words.
Even the Wise Overseer was looking at Angor curiously.
The Ruler of Wisdom witnessed how Dorcas went from a terrible state to full of vigor. He even saw the drastic change in Dorcas's spirit. It was as if the old world had been replaced by a new one.
This sort of incredibly powerful regenerative ability was something that the Chief Sovereign of the Wise was unable to achieve, at the very least. Even if someone managed to do it, they would have to pay a terrible price.
Thus, even the Sovereign of the Wise was somewhat envious of this mysterious scroll that possessed regenerative powers.
Both the Ruler of Wisdom and Dark Earl were jealous. He saw Angor giving something to Dorcas, but he did not expect it to be such a valuable item.
Dark Earl did not say anything, but he was already regretting it. He should have just taken the scroll from Dorcas.
What if Dorcas fought an ostrich egg? I'll do it!
On the other side, Gray Merchant was also looking at the red-haired, golden-eyed wizard. Previously, he had thought that Dorcas actually possessed a mysterious leather scroll, but now it seemed that the owner of this leather scroll was someone else.
Speaking of which, Gray Merchant had been keeping an eye on this strange wizard for a long time. Back then, when the woman fought against Dorcas, it was very likely that this wizard was Dorcas's opponent.
According to Gray Merchant's analysis, Dorcas was mysterious and obscure. Now, Dorcas's words made the wizard even more mysterious. And he must be someone important.
While everyone was looking at Angor, Angor's reaction was slow and sluggish. It took him a long time to look up at Dorcas with a confused expression.
"What did you say? Oh, I remember now. I was wondering what kind of price you should pay to justify the scroll's value. That's why I got distracted. Don't mind me. "
Dorcas really wanted to cry when he heard Angor answering his own questions. He didn't care what the others thought about it.
His guess was right. Angor had been plotting against him for a long time! Damn it!
Angor asked, "You asked the correct number, right?"
Under Dorcas's expectant gaze and the others who were waiting to eavesdrop, Angor gave an answer that made Dorcas despair.
"One more time," Angor said, "I can tell from the damage of the scroll. Are you satisfied with this answer? "
"Satisfied my —" Dorcas forced himself to stop cursing.
No matter what, this leather scroll really saved him, this point was not wrong. Furthermore, he had indeed used it on his own accord.
"As long as you're satisfied. I hope you'll be satisfied with it in the near future," Angor said with a smile.
Dorcas staggered back several steps as if he was struck by lightning. His chest was so tight that he almost puked blood. However, he did not vomit. Because the holy light was still coming, all the negative effects were gone from Dorcas's body. Even his anger toward Angor seemed to be slowly improving.
"Damn you, damn you, damn you! You think you've won already? I'll show you what real pain is! "The woman screamed in a shrill voice.
Probably because Dorcas ignored her and talked to Angor, the woman felt extremely humiliated.
In this situation, she activated all of her bloodline!
As visible energy ripples spread around the arena, the woman's body began to twist, expand, and change shape.
Several seconds later, the woman in front of everyone could no longer be called a "human".
She could even be classified as one of the void monsters outside the arena.
Her outer appearance had already turned into a mountain of flesh. Her dense hair was like soft tentacles with mouths and sharp teeth at the tip of the tentacles.
Her entire body looked twisted and horrifying.
The woman raised her head, which no longer resembled a human face, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Do you know what pain is?"
Dorcas gulped. "I don't want to know."
The woman opened her mouth full of sharp teeth without saying anything. Instead, she turned into a predator and rushed at Dorcas.
The terrible wind pressure caused by the airstrike even blew up the stone tiles on the ground.
The Wise Ruler spoke in a timely manner, "You destroyed the arena. Pay after the duel."
However, the woman could no longer hear anything. Her only target was Dorcas!
…
At the same time, Angor spoke, "I think it's better for you to end this match as soon as possible. The Sunlight Sanctuary's effect will weaken. It's too much for you to enjoy it alone. Of course, this time, the Sunlight Sanctuary belongs to you. You can enjoy it if you want. "
Dorcas complained angrily when he heard Angor's voice.
Sunlight Sanctuary? Sunlight Garden?! So similar! You're obviously trying to trick me!
But soon, Dorcas realized something and his eyes lit up.
That's right, after the Sunlight Sacred Hall was activated, it completely belonged to me. Was Angor trying to tell him that he could let others enjoy the Sunlight Sanctuary's effect as well? And he could even charge a fee for it! Maybe he could earn enough money to pay Angor?
The possibility was low, but Dorcas had already lost his mind. He needed to get as much as he could!
With this in mind, Dorcas did not waste any more time. He reignited his blood and charged at the woman who was going all out!
…
After activating her bloodline, the woman no longer looked like a human. With such a powerful bloodline buff, no wizard of the same level would dare to face her head-on. Even truth-finder wizards would be in great danger if they tried to fight her head-on.
Basically, the woman had given up on defense and gathered all her firepower to launch a challenge.
She was not only challenging Dorcas, but also the majestic illusion of the sanctuary!
Dorcas did not dare to face the woman's attack head-on. Instead, he used his red light to dodge and backed away for several dozen meters.
However, the woman's powerful attack did not break through the Sunlight Sanctuary's defense.
In fact, it did not even cause a ripple.
Dorcas stared at the holy light that seemed to have descended from the sky and muttered, "Is this Absolute Defense?"
Dorcas's low murmur caused the expressions of the gray merchant's group to become very serious. If it really was Absolute Defense, they had no way to fight against Dorcas.
However, Angor decided to expose them again. "I can't tell you for sure if it's Absolute Defense or not. However, the Sunlight Sacred Hall will be damaged after receiving a large amount of attacks … After all, it's not meant to be used for battle. "
The Sunlight Garden was meant to provide a peaceful paradise in a dark and despairing place.
The Sunlight Sanctuary, on the other hand, was meant to ignite the flame of civilization in an era of ignorance.
The most important aspect of the Sunlight Sacred Hall was the spiritual baptism. This baptism could allow all living beings to be reborn. Because of this, Sunlight Sanctuary was called the Holy Light of the Age of Ignorance, the torch of civilization in an unenlightened land.
Dorcas quickly turned around. "How can you say something like that?!"
"If I don't say it, you'll use it as a shield. The Sunlight Sanctuary will always be a tower behind the believers, not a barricade pushed to the front.
"By the way, after the Sunlight Sacred Hall is attacked, even if it is not destroyed, its effect will be weakened."
Of course, Dorcas knew what Angor was implying.
Hiding behind the comfortable Sunlight Templar, even if he won by exhausting the evil woman's stamina in the end, it would still be a loss and very embarrassing. If he wanted to win and gain more benefits through the Sunlight Sanctuary, there was only one way.
Attack!
