"Who … Who is he?" Vale stared at the man in the suit in shock.
The man seemed to have noticed Vale's gaze as well. His cold expression suddenly turned into a smile.
Under Vale's gaze, the man in the suit slowly opened his mouth.
Vale knew that the man was talking.
However, Vale had no idea what the man was talking about. His eyesight was enhanced by the Dark Earl, but his hearing was not!
Just as Wai was racking his brains to decipher the man's words through lip-reading, Shaina and Gaynor also noticed the man in the suit.
Both of them were official wizards. They had plenty of ways to see what was happening in the distance.
Now that the Dark Earl had given them the answer, they only needed to follow Vale's line of sight to see the man in the suit. There was no way they would miss it!
"It's him! That's right, it's the man in the third image!" Gaynor cried out. "It's definitely not normal for him to be here!"
He had to catch him!
This thought arose in Gaynor's mind.
Gaynor did not even bother to discuss with Shaina. He turned into a purple flame and shot out like a flaming arrow.
"Gaynor!" Shaina called out, but Gaynor acted like he heard nothing. The purple flame was already out of his chest, and he could not turn back.
Shaina helplessly stomped her foot and quickly went to the shadows at the side. She transmitted her voice to Elder Tree who was in the enclosed space, "The suspect has appeared in the arena. It's very likely that he's the attacker who manipulated the shallow sea strongman!"
Shaina's words immediately caught Elder Tree and Starleaf's attention. They did not hesitate to withdraw from the shadows and reappear under the moonlight.
Before Shaina could explain, Elder Tree and Starleaf already saw where the purple flame was heading.
At the same time.
They followed the purple flame and saw the man in the suit standing at the top of the Sky Tower.
It's him! Elder Tree and Starleaf immediately realized what was going on.
They did not know why the man in the suit was in the arena, nor did they know how Gaynor and Shaina found him. However, that was no longer important. The most important thing now was to catch him.
"I'll go help Gaynor." Starleaf's body turned into specks of starlight. The specks of starlight quickly dissipated, and when they gathered again, they were already thousands of meters away.
Starleaf was about to catch up with Gaynor in the blink of an eye.
As for the man in the suit, he had obviously noticed their movements. He wasn't surprised at all. Instead, he said something in a low voice.
Even though Xingye and Gaynor's main goal was to get close to the man in the suit, they were still observing his movements.
Previously, Wa Yi couldn't read the man's words because his hearing was weak.
However, Xingye and Gaynor could hear each other's voices clearly with their five senses enhanced by their bloodline power.
"The game's guests are here. Sehmet, Tefunu, do you want to welcome them?"
Everything else aside, the first thing Hoshino and Gaynor paid attention to was the two names that the man in the suit said: Sehmet and Tefunu.
Was this his companion?
Could it be that this suspected attacker was part of a gang?
However,
After waiting for two seconds, no one appeared around the suited man.
Are you messing with us? Xingye narrowed his eyes. Regardless of whether this person had a gang or not, he had to stay here. As for his so-called companions, if they were to come, then he would have no choice but to stay!
As Xingye's thoughts flickered, endless starlight poured down from the sky and transformed into Xingye's original form in front of the suited man.
After Xingye appeared, Gaynor's flames also appeared nearby.
Xingye was actually one step faster than Gaynor!
However, Xingye was more cautious. He didn't attack immediately when he arrived in front of the suited man. Instead, he observed him silently and set up a spy at the same time.
Gaynor didn't care. He transformed into purple flames and ignited an arrow in the void, shooting it directly at the suited man's chest.
Although Xingye felt that Gaynor was a little reckless, he didn't stop him.
There was no harm in letting Gaynor test the waters. Even if Gaynor's shot was wrong, Xingye had ways to cover for it. Of course, if Gaynor killed the man in one shot, then there was a high chance that they had found the wrong person. Then, his death could only be considered a mistake.
However, judging from the suited man's indifferent attitude, Xingye didn't think that Gaynor's purple flames could threaten him.
As expected, when the purple flames transformed into a heart-piercing arrow and attempted to penetrate the suited man's chest, he opened his mouth slightly. "The game hasn't started yet. Attacks on the referee are ineffective."
As soon as he finished speaking, the purple flames seemed to have crashed into a transparent wall and couldn't advance any further.
A few seconds later, the purple flames slowly dissipated, revealing Gaynor's shocked face.
The suited man continued, "Attacking the referee is considered a foul. Your first foul will be punished with your strength. "
Before Gaynor could react, a violent purple flame exploded in front of Gaynor's chest.
"Boom —" After a violent explosion, Gaynor's entire body turned into a charred black as he fell from the sky.
However, halfway down, he was enveloped by a ball of starlight and pulled to Xingye's side.
Xingye glanced at Gaynor … and could not help but frown.
Gaynor himself didn't suffer much damage. The reason Xingye frowned was because he sensed a special flame wave from Gaynor's charred skin.
… Purple flames.
This was the power of the special flame that Gaynor possessed. It was originally meant to attack the suited man, but now it was directly reflected on Gaynor's body.
However, because Gaynor himself had mastered the purple flames, he didn't suffer much damage from the sudden attack. Apart from looking charred, his internal organs weren't damaged.
Gaynor didn't appear to be injured, but he was as shocked as Xingye on the inside.
Why was his purple flames controlled by the other party?
Was it a rebound?
Gaynor's thoughts were in a mess. However, before he could sort out those jumbled thoughts, the suited man opposite him spoke again. "The game is about to start. Would the two of you like to …"
The suited man suddenly paused mid-sentence.
He slowly turned his head and looked to the other side.
He saw a sapling slowly rising not far away. In an instant, the sapling turned into a towering tree, covering the entire top of the registration center without leaving a single gap.
"Looks like we have another guest." The suited man smiled.
His smile looked very refined and reserved, but his trembling shoulders and the excitement that leaked out of the corners of his eyes revealed the excitement he was suppressing in his heart.
In Xingye and Gaynor's eyes, he was just like a lunatic who was suppressing his emotions.
On the other side, Elder Tree looked at Shaina who was beside him.
"Shaina, I'll leave this place to you. I'll go over." After Elder Tree finished speaking, his figure began to blur. The huge tree in the distance emitted a faint glow.
Obviously, the towering tree that covered the entire registration center was Elder Tree's doing.
Shaina exclaimed, "I want to go too!"
Shaina had also seen Gaynor fly out. Although Xingye had caught him in the end, Shaina was still very worried about Gaynor's injuries.
She wanted to go over and see for herself.
However, Elder Tree shook his head.
"You stay here," Elder Tree said in a pleading tone. "Help me take care of the guest. Also, look after Lucia … Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to Gaynor."
"Also …" Elder Tree whispered into Shaina's ear.
Looking at Elder Tree's sincere expression and whispering into her ear, Shaina bit her lip and finally nodded. "Okay, leave this place to me."
Elder Tree heaved a sigh of relief and smiled at Shaina. Then, he turned into nothingness. In the sky above the registration center, Elder Tree walked out of the towering tree out of thin air.
The moment Elder Tree appeared, the man in the suit smiled even more happily. The corners of his lips curled up. "A new guest has arrived. Then … the game is about to begin."
The suited man's voice trembled, not because of fear, but because of excitement.
"I don't care what game you're talking about. Who are you? I just want to know, were you the one who instigated the shallow-water strongmen to attack Lun Shuting? "Gaynor looked at the suited man hatefully.
The suited man smiled. "Do you want to know the answer? I can tell you, but you have to clear the game first … Then I'll take the answer as the reward for clearing the game. "
"Game? Hmph, do you think we're all children? "Gaynor sneered." If you know the answer, it means that you're most likely the attacker! Even if you're not, you're still related to the attacker. So, you only have two options now. "
"Surrender, or die!" Gaynor, Starleaf, and Elder Tree said at the same time.
Though they hadn't communicated with each other, they already had a common understanding of how to deal with the suited man! This was the tacit understanding they had developed over the years!
The suited man's expression didn't change in the slightest in the face of the three Magi's angry shouts. It was as if he hadn't heard them at all. He continued, "You're looking forward to the game too, aren't you? I'm looking forward to it too. "
"But unfortunately, I've already contacted Sehmet and Tefnu to play with you. However, they're addicted to the game of 'whose hair is prettier' and can't extricate themselves. No matter how much I shout, they're not willing to come out. "
"So, I can only let Armit and Libaia be your opponents."
"Do you want Armit to play with you first, or Libaia?"
Gaynor replied, "I've said it before. No one wants to play games with you. We'll only kill …"
Before Gaynor could finish his sentence, the suited man suddenly glanced at him, "I'll now announce the first rule of the game. Before the referee allows you to speak, no one is allowed to speak. Violators will be punished … Ah, that's not right. You can't even speak, so how are you going to be punished? Forget it, I won't punish you. "
Gaynor revealed a cold smile. He wanted to mock the other party for being childish, but he found that he couldn't make a single sound.
It was as if he was being suppressed by some strange force.
Gaynor looked at the suited man in shock. Could he be a Silent Magus?
Starleaf and Elder Tree noticed Gaynor's abnormality. They tried to speak in secret, but no matter what they said, they couldn't break through the barrier of the 'rules'.
Starleaf was the most shocked amongst them.
After all, he was a peak rank 2 Magus. Though he hadn't reached the threshold of truth, with his battle prowess, he wouldn't be afraid even if he faced a truth finder Magus.
But now, he was actually being suppressed by an unknown Magus using some strange force.
What was going on?
Most importantly, Starleaf didn't discover any spells similar to the 'Silencing Barrier' in the surroundings. The suited man in front of them seemed to have mastered some sort of rule. Under the pressure of the rule, they couldn't speak.
"The effect is quite good. Now, I'll announce the second rule."
"The second rule is that the referee is only a referee and doesn't participate in the game. All attacks directed at the referee will be reflected. "
After the suited man finished speaking, he looked at Gaynor and the rest, "Do you want to try? I'll stand here and wait for you to experiment. "
However, no one made a move.
Gaynor was more cautious because he had been injured by the rebound before.
Starleaf and Elder Tree didn't make a move because they were sensing the changes in the surrounding energy. Before they could decipher the suited man's ability, they wouldn't make a move easily.
The opponent's ability was very strange, and he seemed to be fearless. It was very likely that he was baiting them to attack. It wouldn't be good if they were tricked and ended up suffering the consequences.
Now, the most important thing to pay attention to was whether or not he affected the surrounding energy when he set the rule.
Just like the Silencing Barrier earlier, it couldn't have affected them directly. He must have done something to the surrounding domain. As long as they could confirm this point, they had the confidence to break it.
Their thinking was correct. Starleaf and Elder Tree had indeed sensed the faint energy waves in the surroundings. However, when they wanted to find the source of the waves, they couldn't find any traces.
"The third rule, let me think … Ah, there are no other rules. Then I'll just talk about the gameplay. "
"The gameplay is very simple. It's a free-for-all. The winner lives and the loser dies. How about it? "
"Ah, I forgot that you can't speak. I'll take it as your agreement."
"Next, I'll continue with my previous question. Will you choose Amit or Liboya as your opponent?"
"I know you can't speak, but you can point with your fingers. I'll get Amit and Liboya to come out now. You can point at whoever you want to fight."
At this point, the suited man squinted his eyes and muttered softly, "Amit, Liboya, it's time to welcome the guests."
As his voice drifted, the silhouettes of two silhouettes slowly appeared.
These two silhouettes were huge. From the perspective of an ordinary person, they looked like mountains.
One was a crocodile-headed monster lying on the ground with all four limbs, while the other was a yellow gorilla pounding its chest with both hands!
Putting the former aside for now, when everyone saw the latter, they immediately recognized its identity. It was a deserted island strongman!
Deserted island strongmen and shallow sea strongmen. Although they had different prefixes, if one were to trace their origins, they belonged to the same species – strongmen!
The bloodline of a deserted island strongman was relatively pure. However, unlike shallow sea strongmen who provided water elemental strength, deserted island strongmen provided earth elemental strength to move mountains. There were quite a number of such strongmen in the Sorcerer World, but deserted island strongmen who could reach Sorcerer level were extremely rare.
A shallow sea strongman of the Sorcerer World had appeared before them, and now there was an Sorcerer level deserted island strongman.
Starleaf and Elder Tree couldn't help but connect the dots.
Could there be a connection between the two?
Gaynor, on the other hand, was not like Starleaf and Elder Tree who were still guessing. The moment he saw the deserted island strongman, he was certain that the suited man was definitely the attacker's accomplice!
It couldn't be so coincidental that two of the Sorcerer level strongmen had appeared in the Beulon Tree Garden. Thus, the answer was very obvious.
Although there wasn't any direct evidence, Gaynor firmly believed in his own judgment.
In his own words, this was a man's intuition!
Because of this, Gaynor raised his hand without hesitation and pointed at the deserted island strongman.
He didn't care if it was a game or not. What he wanted to do now was to hammer this deserted island strongman into the ground!
Seeing Gaynor raise his finger, the suited man's lips subconsciously curled upwards.
"Very well. Since you've chosen the deserted island strongman. Well then, the game … begins. "
