When Angel left the management office, he was still a little dizzy. He felt a little unreal that Melantha agreed to change the competition system so easily. Although Melantha made a request in the end: "Everyone
If you do not reach the point of giving up in a game, you are not allowed to voluntarily give up.”
But this requirement is still very relaxed for Angel.
Even though the competition system that Melantha modified for Angel did not affect the fairness of the competition, he still found it a bit strange.
He and Melanza have never met, so why would the other party be willing to sell him a favor?
Angel thought for a long time, but couldn't think of an answer. In the end, he could only come to the conclusion that he thought of people as too utilitarian, but in fact there were still kind-hearted people who did not ask for anything in return.
But Angel forgot one thing. Sanders must have communicated with the top executives of the Sky Tower if he could get the images of him during the game. As one of the top executives of the Sky Tower, Melantha must have known about Angre.
Her true identity, and knowing the relationship between Sanders and Angel, her concession was actually quite normal.
Sanders will not accept disciples at will. There must be something unique about Angel being attracted by Sanders. You must know that Sanders had only accepted two students before, and they were all promoted to official wizards.
.
Because of this, Melanza actually has expectations for Angel.
——Without affecting the fairness of the competition system, a "quasi-future wizard" can still be owed a favor, and she does not lose. Even if Angel does not advance to the official wizard in the end, it will not have any impact on her. She is Angor.
The competition system you modified will not affect the fairness of the competition at all. It will even increase the risks for the players and will not be criticized.
Melanza had made a good calculation, but she could only say that Angel was still too immature to think of this level.
…
Melanza had already agreed to the modification. When Angel returned to the fifth floor to compete, the staff no longer refused and simply changed his competition interval to 5 minutes.
Since then, Angel has embarked on an even crazier journey to climb the tower.
In such a high-density and high-intensity competition, Angel must control his magic power more accurately. After all, he is only a first-level apprentice, and the total amount of magic sources is not large. Every point of magic power must be used sparingly. If he is like before,
With that kind of reckless consumption of magic power, it is easy to run out of magic power after playing two or three games.
Under such circumstances, it would be even more difficult for Angel to maintain an absolute winning rate.
He saw many different types of players, several of which posed a great threat to him. For example, puppet masters who controlled puppets, controllers who used mental attacks, and word spirits who used verbal attacks... The relationship with these players
In the competition, Angel often needs to spend a lot of magic power, and even finally uses a small golden arrow engraved with magic patterns to win.
Only then did he remember the meaning of Melanza's words, "You must not surrender until you have given in."
Such a strong player can consume a lot of his energy and magic power, and it takes a very long time to defeat him. Even if he wins in the end, he will not think about the second game for most of the day. Therefore, if he can consciously screen his opponents, he will be able to defeat these opponents.
If a strong opponent admits defeat directly and schedules the next game quickly, he will climb the tower faster; obviously, Melanza foresees this situation and takes precautions in advance. Because if he really does this
, the fairness of the competition system will be destroyed.
Angel spent a week climbing to the tenth floor.
On the tenth floor, the auditorium is no longer absolutely empty. Occasionally, two or three people can be seen watching the game together. However, the games watched are basically the most popular players, and Angel's game is still unattended.
Until this day, Angel drew a contestant named "Soul of the Stars". Before the game started, people came to the audience. By the time Angel stood on the ring, 30% of the audience was already full.
The seats are filled.
This was the first time since Angel left the first floor of the Sky Tower that there were so many spectators.
Angel didn't think that the audience came to see him. Then there was only one possibility, that they came for his opponent, the Soul of the Stars.
So, the Soul of the Stars is very powerful?
This doubt gave Angel a clear answer within two minutes of the start of the game.
Soul of the Stars is really awesome!
It was the kind of power that Angel didn't realize was powerful, and it was also the most surly opponent he had ever encountered.
During the game, he spits when he disagrees, has a ferocious and exaggerated expression, and laughs as if all ghosts are howling. He was obviously a decadent and melancholy handsome man before the game, but why does he change drastically once the game starts?
The reason why the Soul of the Stars is so powerful is because the method he used was something Angel had never seen before. It was a vague female shadow.
Angel didn't know what the shadow was at first, but after a few brief contacts, he not only understood the truth about the female shadow, he even remembered the identity of the soul of the stars.
In the Sky Tower seed player list that David passed to him, the information about Soul of the Stars was clearly recorded.
Angel didn't think of it at first because in the picture David sent him, the soul of the stars still had a shawl-long figure. Although he had the same decadent temperament, the image of the soul of the stars in the crystal ball liaison device was more biased.
Artist, today's Soul of the Stars is like...a psycho.
The Soul of the Stars, whose real name is Saka, is a second-level apprentice in the mysterious side of the soul system. He studied under the "Salvation of the Dead" Nice Byron. He is good at soul manipulation and carries a powerful soul with him, so he is called "Three Stars".
Among the information compiled by David, there are only two stars among the three stars, namely "Virgo Star" Sylvia and "Daisy Star" Herington. According to records, Saka's strength has already reached the top level, but it seems that
The pressure level is waiting for someone.
Regarding Saka's description, Angel was not only concerned about his attack methods, but he was actually more concerned about his apprenticeship: "The Redemption of the Dead" Nice Byron.
Taught under the same tutelage as Hook Dick.
In fact, it makes sense, after all, both of them are mystical and soul-based.
…
The female shadow next to Saka is Sylvia, whom he calls the "Virgin Star", the soul of a powerful female wizard apprentice.
Sylvia was also a contestant in the Sky Tower. Later, she died at the hands of Saka on the field and was taken under Saka's command.
Angel's strength was far from that of Saka. All physical defense methods could not withstand Sylvia's footsteps. Sylvia could even pass through the erected ice wall.
On the other side, Saka was also bound by unknown chains, and Angel's little golden arrow could not break through the unknown chains.
Fortunately, Sylvia's damage to him was not high.
Angel is actually very confused about this point. The "Virgin Star" Sylvia recorded by David is good at frightening howls, which can shake the soul and put people into a state of dizziness for a short time.
Sylvia had screamed several times, but Angel didn't feel any vibration in her soul. He had some doubts that Sylvia's previous screams might have been just to scare people, and were not the frightening howls as rumored.
Not long ago, Sylvia seemed to be irritated.
Angel is still a little confused. He can't even attack Sylvia. Why is he angry?
Anger filled Sylvia's weak cheeks, and her soul exploded with red light.
When the red light suddenly appeared, Angel immediately recalled David's records. In addition to howling in terror, Sylvia also had a unique trick: soul absorption!
At the realm of soul absorption, the soul can be extracted directly from the body. But Sylvia's use of it can only make people feel the pain of soul tearing.
But even if it is just the pain of soul tearing, it is enough to make people want to die, and they can't help it.
Angel had no choice at this time. He had never learned any soul defense techniques. He was a little annoyed and could only keep attacking Saka.
He didn't call Toby during the game today, otherwise he would have directly asked Toby to attack Saka.
At this critical moment, Angel used a small golden arrow with armor-piercing magic patterns. He didn't believe that the armor-piercing arrows could not break Saka's chain defense.
During Sylvia's attack on Angel, Saka never took action. He just looked at Angel with a ferocious face and spat at the side from time to time. He was completely insane. But when Sylvia used Soul Drain
At this time, a red light flashed in his eyes, and his expression became more distorted.
boom--
With the sound barrier of the wind, small armor-piercing arrows were shot from Angel's cuffs.
A golden light flashed, and its target reached Saka's chain.
Just as Angel thought, the chain could resist ordinary golden arrows, but it was still unable to resist the armor-piercing arrows.
When the chain was broken, Saka's face immediately turned pale. The chain was not a real chain, but a soul-based defense method called the soul chain. The strength of the chain was closely related to his soul. At the same time,
Once the chain is broken, his soul will also be damaged.
Saka had no idea that the chain was broken.
But the damage caused by the armor-piercing arrow to him was not only to his soul. After breaking through the soul chain, the armor-piercing arrow still did not stop and continued to rush towards Saka's body.
Finally, the armor-piercing arrow shot into Saka's shoulder, and a blood hole leaked out.
Angel, who had been practicing bow and arrow since he was a child, rarely made mistakes with his aim. He hit Saka's shoulder. Angel had no intention of taking anyone's life.
David once described Saka in the information. Saka only "accidentally killed" Sylvia in the Sky Tower match. From then on, he never took another life in the Sky Tower match, even if his opponent provoked him.
, made rude remarks, David just let Sylvia shock his soul, make his opponent unconscious, and then quietly leave.
In Angel's heart, Saka seemed to be one of the few good people in the wizarding world. Even if he was a bit crazy, Angel had no intention of actually harming him.
So the target was Saka's shoulder, not Saka's vitals.
Angel believed that his armor-piercing arrow should have deterred Saka, and then Saka would give in on his own, right?
Angel had a good idea, but the reality was not what he thought.
Sylvia's soul absorption did not stop, and Saka had no intention of admitting defeat, even——
Saka's eyes became red, and his expression became more ferocious and scary. Angel even saw a hint of excitement in Saka's expression.
There's a big hole in your shoulder, the blood doesn't stop and you're still excited?
At this time, Sylvia's soul extraction seemed to have come to an end. The red light glowed brightly, and a trace of annoyance flashed across Angel's face.
Strange ripples spread out from Sylvia's body.
Saka's eyes became even more excited.
Angel thought that he would definitely be knocked unconscious by the soul-draining process, and he was already prepared for "defeat".
but……
The ripples of soul absorption vibrated wildly, and Angel felt as if his spirit was stinging for a moment.
Then, there is no other feeling.
When Sylvia's red light disappeared, Angel was still standing well.
In the surprised eyes of the audience, and in the excited and doubtful eyes of Saka, Angel lowered his voice and asked uncertainly: "Is this the end? Is this soul draining?"
