Chapter 1557 Dormancy

When the winner was shown on the screen, the audience burst into unprecedented applause, which lasted for a long time.

Before the start, all the applause and cheers were almost for Angel, but now it was for the two players on the field. For the players' best efforts, and for the catharsis that they longed for after watching a hearty game.

Even though the game was over, the discussion and shouting of the audience had never stopped. At this time, the busiest people were not the audience, but the judges who were discussing the results and revising the rankings.

Sabo originally wanted Angel to revise, but Angel did not answer, but looked to the other side.

Sabo followed Angel's line of sight and saw that the black code on the ring was slowly shrinking from the image of a female giant, and finally became the size of an ordinary person. However, the appearance was still the god of prison, but unfortunately the objects held in both hands were damaged.

Black Code put away the broken sword and scales, and then walked step by step to the unconscious Sailum.

He picked him up, then stepped on his toes and flew to the judging platform.

Heidian came to Angel, half-knelt on the ground, and handed the bloody Sailum to Angel: "The little master is in the hands of Lord Pat."

Angel helped Sailum to his side and looked at Heidian.

"I may fall into hibernation next, and I don't know when I will wake up." After Heidian finished speaking, he looked at Sailum quietly, as if remembering his appearance. After a long time, Heidian continued: "When the master wakes up, please tell the master on my behalf, Lord Pat, thank him for his trust in me, and... I will definitely come back."

Angel looked at Heidian deeply and nodded: "Okay."

After getting Angel's confirmation, Heidian breathed a sigh of relief and showed a bright smile on his face: "Thank you."

As soon as the voice fell, Heidian began to become blurred, like an old photo that was soaked in water. The vivid colors were gradually diluted and turned into basic black and white tones, and finally turned into countless tiny particles, blending into the "Dark Prison Code" in Sailum's arms and disappeared.

In the distant competition field, Xili did not return to the backstage of the contestants, but stood quietly in the same place, looking at the disappearing figure of Heidian, as if she had something to say, but in the end she only left a slight sigh in the wind.

In fact, Xili could feel that when she was trapped in the dark cage, Heidian could use other methods to deal with her.

Whether it was a long sword swing or other punishments, Xili could die instantly.

But Heidian did not do so. Instead, through complicated and meaningless trials, he made her face the past that she had always wanted to escape.

After experiencing the most humble darkness, she found the hope of light.

She didn't know whether Heidian did it unintentionally or intentionally. But no matter what, Xili accepted his kindness. So, when the light broke free from her body, at the moment of the final decision, Xili could actually kill Sailum, but she didn't do it.

Xili took a last look at Sailum next to Wizard Pat, then lightly covered the light on her chest and stepped into the darkness again.

Behind the light is darkness, and in the depths of hope there are also shadows. Facing it is only the first step. How to deal with it formally is what Yuri needs to do now.

…

Because Salum's injury is very serious and he needs urgent treatment, Angel rejected Sabo's invitation and did not participate in the discussion of the ranking.

Anyway, no matter what the ranking is, after losing this game, Salum's journey to the Rising Star Tournament is basically over.

Angel said goodbye to Sabo and took Salum to the clinic. Before leaving, Angel glanced at the audience.

Nausicaa and others were looking at him with anxious eyes.

Angel spread his voice to them, telling them not to worry, and then looked away.

However, after Angel looked away, he suddenly felt a resentful look from the other side looking at him. That resentment was not real resentment, but a kind of complaint-like emotion.

Angel subconsciously looked back.

He found that the person who was looking at him was a boy wearing a deer horn hat. He was looking at Angel with a sad face, but when Angel looked over, he immediately put away his expression, stood up excitedly, and waved his hands while jumping, as if he was afraid that Angel could not see him.

Angel recalled that he seemed to have never seen this boy before. Why was he so sad and excited?

Perhaps he was an admirer with a rich inner world?

Angel thought of this and didn't care. He nodded to him lightly and turned his eyes away.

After a while, Angel took Syrum to treatment. With the treatment equipment equipped in the Infinite Battle Tower, Syrum's body quickly recovered by more than half. However, if he wanted to recover as before, he had to recuperate for at least ten days and a half a month.

After ten days and a half a month, the Rising Star Game was over. So as Angel said, this game should be Syrum's last Rising Star Game. Although he lost, in Angel's view, it was a relatively perfect ending.

Moreover, when Heidian was halfway through the game, he knew that this was the last game for Sailum. Heidian also knew that Sailum did not care about the outcome of the Stars Game. So everything Heidian did to Yuri later was more like helping Sailum to do favors, rather than competing with Yuri to win or lose.

On weekdays, Heidian and Sailum had a feeling of being at odds with each other, but in fact, they were soft and caring towards each other in their hearts.

After coming out of the clinic, Angel saw Nausicaa and her brother Leon waiting outside.

"Shiru fell asleep again. Shan will take her back to the Fangling Pavilion first. We will wait here." Nausicaa said, "Is Salum okay?"

"Don't worry, it's okay." Angel simply told Salum's situation again.

"What about Black Code?" Leon asked.

"As for Black Code, like Salum, he is currently in a deep sleep and should wake up after a while." In fact, Angel did not dare to guarantee whether Black Code would wake up. When Salum chose to take this step, it was unknown whether Black Code would evolve successfully or completely dissipate. But since Black Code vowed that he would come back, Angel chose to believe him.

Hearing that everyone was fine, Leon and Nausicaa finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Because no one else was competing today, they took Salum and prepared to go back to the Fangling Pavilion first.

On the way, Nausicaa also asked about the transformation of the Black Code into the "God of Hell Code" during the game. Angel just smiled and said that this was the secret killer move of Salum, but he didn't tell the specific details.

It's not that Angel deliberately concealed it, but because it was Salum's business, even if he wanted to say it, it shouldn't be him who said it.

As they chatted, they talked about other games.

Among them, the one they talked about the most was the "No. 1 vs. Shining Star" game.

This game started at the same time as Salum's match against Yuri. After Salum's match ended, Nausicaa specially asked about the result of this game.

Angel took out the communicator and looked at the internal ranking: "These two people... don't seem to be the potential seeds that are being paid attention to."

No. 1 is a bloodline apprentice with good luck. He has encountered ordinary opponents and has accumulated four consecutive victories. The fifth game is today's match against this Shining Star.

Shining Star has a relatively high evaluation within the company. It is speculated that he is a potential player who is similar to Yuri and is a pearl.

But it's just speculation.

So Angel was a little curious, why would they talk about this game?

"Because of this No. 1." Leon replied: "During the time when you went to the Black Castle, No. 1 actually often came to the Fangling Pavilion and taught me a lot of fighting skills."

Angel was stunned for a moment: "Who is this No. 1?"

"Reynolds." Nausicaa said: "You may not know him. He is a supernatural person I met at the Chambord Beach during my travels. He is a..."

Nausicaa seemed to be considering her words, and after a while she said: "Do you know John's counterattack?"

"Yes." Angel looked a little surprised. He had just talked about "John's counterattack" with Sabo not long ago, but he didn't expect to hear it from Nausicaa again in a short time.

"Reynolds is like that John, a passionate young man with a lucky aura."

In fact, Reynolds' strength is worse than Nausicaa, but he is so lucky that all the opponents he meets are weaker than him. Even if they are slightly stronger than him, as long as he gets excited, he has a chance to turn defeat into victory.

After listening to Nausicaa's words, Angel had already labeled Reynolds as "the passionate male protagonist in the novel".

However, at this time, Leon said: "It's a pity that he didn't fight back when he met Shining Star this time. We just saw the result of the game. He lost to Shining Star. It seems that his good luck has ended here."

Angel: "Sometimes, losing does not mean bad luck."

"Ah? Why?" Leon looked at Angel in a daze.

"In a competition that does not involve life and death, if the price of victory is to delay ten years of practice, or stop here because of the damage of the magic source, would you like to win or lose?"

Leon: "Of course I admit defeat, but this is just a more extreme example, right?"

As soon as Leon finished speaking, Angel's communicator received a message about the latest battle schedule.

Angel handed the communicator to Leon: "You might as well take a look at their next opponent."

Leon took the communicator and saw a battle information at a glance.

"No. 1 vs. Book of Sages"

"Shining Star vs. Son of the Sea"

The Book of Sages is none other than Salum, who is currently being carried on Leon's back. Judging from Salum's condition, he will definitely not be able to play in the next game.

And Shining Star's opponent is Son of the Sea.

This is the person who is currently the most popular candidate to win the Rising Stars Tournament, Jetbo.

In comparison, Leon suddenly understood something and silently returned the communicator to Angel: "I understand now, it seems that he really has the aura of "John's Counterattack"..."
