Main Text Volume Chapter 187 Soul of the Stars
When Angel left the management office, he was still a little dizzy. He felt a little unreal that Melanza agreed to change the competition system so easily. Although in the end Melanza made a request: "If you don't give up in every game, you are not allowed to 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 had never known each other, 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, I can only conclude that I think of people as too utilitarian, but in fact there are still good-hearted people who do not ask for anything in return.
But Angel forgot one thing. Sanders must have communicated with the top management of Sky Tower if he could get the images of his game. As one of the top executives of Sky Tower, Melanza must know Angel's true identity. Her concession is actually normal when she knows the relationship between Sanders and Angel.
Sanders doesn't just accept disciples. There must be something unique about Angel being favored by Sanders. You should know that Sanders had only accepted two students before this, and all of them were 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" could be owed a favor, and she was not at a loss. Even if Angel doesn't advance to become an official wizard in the end, it won't have any impact on her. The competition system she modified for Angel won't affect the fairness of the competition at all. It will even increase the risk for players and will not be criticized.
Melanza had made a good calculation, but it could only be said that Angel was still too immature to think of this level.
…
Melanza had already agreed to the modification. When Angel returned to the fifth level to compete again, 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 dense 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 source is not much. Every point of magic power must be used sparingly. If he consumes magic power without scruple like before, he will easily 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 control puppets, controllers who use mental attacks, and word spirits who attack with words... To compete with these players, Angel often needs to spend a lot of magic power, and even ends up using a golden weapon engraved with magic patterns. Only small arrows can lead to victory.
At this time, he remembered the meaning of Melantha's words, "You must not surrender until you give 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 won't even think about playing the second game for a long time. Therefore, if he can consciously screen his opponents, admit defeat directly when encountering these strong opponents, and quickly schedule the next game, then he will climb the tower faster; obviously, Melanza foresees this situation, so Get vaccinated 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, and occasionally two or three people can be seen watching the game together. However, the games we watched were basically the most popular players, and no one paid attention to Angel's game.
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 there. 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 is only one possibility: he 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 would spit whenever he disagreed, his expression would be ferocious and exaggerated, and his smile would sound like all the ghosts howling. He was clearly a decadent and melancholic handsome man before the game, but why did he change drastically once the game started?
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, but also 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, the current Soul of the Stars is like...a psycho.
Soul of the Stars, real name Saka. A second-level apprentice of the mysterious soul department, 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".
In the data compiled by David, there are only two stars among the three stars, namely "Virgin Star" Sylvia and "Daisy Star" Herrington. According to records, Saka's strength has long reached the top level, but it seems that someone is waiting for the level down.
In describing Saka, in addition to his attack methods, Angel is more concerned about his master: 'Dead Soul Redemption' Nice Byron.
He has the same master as Hook Dick.
In fact, it makes sense, after all, both of them are mysterious souls.
…
The female shadow next to Saka is Sylvia, who is called "Virgin Star" by him, the soul of a powerful female wizard apprentice.
Sylvia was once a contestant of the Sky Tower. Later, she died at the hands of Saka on the field and was taken in by Saka.
Angel's strength is far from Saka. All physical defense methods cannot resist Sylvia's footsteps. Even the erected ice wall, Sylvia can pass through the wall.
On the other side, Saka was also tied up by an unknown chain, and Angel's golden arrows could not break the unknown chain at all.
Fortunately, Sylvia did not cause much damage to him.
In fact, Angel was very confused about this. Sylvia, the "Virgin Star" recorded by David, was good at howling, which could shake the soul and make people dizzy for a short time.
Sylvia had screamed several times, but Angel did not feel any soul shaking. He was a little suspicious that Sylvia's previous screams might just be scaring people, not the legendary howling.
Not long ago, Sylvia seemed to be angry.
Angel was still a little puzzled. He couldn't even attack Sylvia, so why was he angry?
Anger covered Sylvia's weak cheeks, and her soul body burst into red light.
When the red light appeared, Angel immediately remembered David's record that Sylvia had another trick besides howling: soul absorption!
At the state of soul absorption, the soul can be directly extracted from the body. But when Sylvia performed it, at most people could only feel the pain of soul tearing.
But even if there was only the pain of soul tearing, it was enough to make people feel so miserable that they would surrender.
Angel had no way out at this time. He had never learned any soul defense techniques. He was a little annoyed and could only attack Saka continuously.
He did not call Toby to the game today, otherwise he would have asked Toby to attack Saka directly.
At this critical moment, Angel used a small golden arrow with armor-breaking magic pattern. He did not believe that the armor-breaking arrow could not break Saka's chain defense.
During Sylvia's attack on Angel, Saka did not make a move. He just looked at Angel with a ferocious face, spitting at the side from time to time, and was full of neurosis. But when Sylvia used soul absorption, a red light flashed in his eyes, and his expression became more distorted.
Bang——
The sound barrier of the wind, the small armor-breaking arrow shot out from Angel's sleeve.
A golden light flashed, aiming directly at Saka's chain.
As Angel thought, the chain could resist ordinary golden arrows, but it could not resist 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 was broken, his soul would also be damaged.
Saka had never expected that the chain would be broken.
But the damage caused by the armor-piercing arrow was not only to the soul. After breaking through the soul chain, the armor-piercing arrow still did not stop and continued to rush towards Saka's body.
In the end, the armor-piercing arrow shot into Saka's shoulder, and a blood hole flowed out of blood.
Angel, who had been practicing bows and arrows since childhood, rarely made mistakes in his aim. He shot Saka's shoulder. Angel did not mean to take anyone's life.
David had described Saka in the information. Saka only "accidentally killed" Sylvia in the Sky Tower competition. Since then, he has not killed anyone in the Sky Tower competition. Even if the opponent provoked him or spoke rudely, David only let Sylvia shock his soul, and after the opponent fainted, he quietly left.
In Angel's heart, Saka is a rare good man in the wizarding world. Even if he is a little crazy, Angel did not intend to really hurt him.
So he aimed at Saka's shoulder, not Saka's vitals.
Angel believed that his armor-piercing arrow should have deterred Saka, and Saka should admit defeat next, right?
Angel thought well, but the reality did not go as he thought.
Sylvia's soul absorption did not stop, and Saka had no intention of admitting defeat, even-
Saka's eyes became red, his expression became more ferocious and more scary, and Angel even faintly saw a hint of excitement in Saka's expression.
A big cut on the shoulder, bleeding and still excited?
At this time, Sylvia's soul absorption seemed to have come to an end, and the red light was shining brightly. A trace of annoyance flashed across Angel's face.
Strange ripples spread out from Sylvia's body.
Saka's eyes became more excited.
Angel thought he would definitely be knocked unconscious by the soul absorption, and he was ready to "lose".
But...
The ripples of soul absorption vibrated wildly, and Angel only felt a momentary sting in his mind.
Then, there was no other feeling.
When Sylvia's red light disappeared, Angel was still standing well.
In the eyes of the audience who were surprised, and in the eyes of Saka who was excited but puzzled, Angel asked uncertainly in a muffled voice: "Is this the end? Is this soul extraction?"
