Chapter 877: Buckley wins!
From MC's respective:
Duel Arena:
Before Raph could realize it was too late. The ice daggers come out of the shield and hit the body of Ralph.
Boom!
The ice daggers didn't target the vital parts. But still the dagger releases the freezing power.
Ralph's body hits the ground. At the same time, a layer of thick ice appears in the chest side where the dagger's point is touching the chest.
Slowly his body starts to freeze. The cold coming out from the dagger is not less than that of the ice elemental wizard.
"I admit defeat," Ralph said in a bitter tone.
Boom!
The crowd erupted with a loud cheer again. The name of Buckley starts to echo inside the stadium.
The announcer then declared the Weapon Palace Wizard Buckley as the winner.
The next second, the barrier starts to come down. The medical team is ready to take Ralph away from the treatment.
Only by giving the immediate treatment, the hidden dangers can be avoided.
With that Buckley process to the 2nd stage. The duel has taken 20 minutes. Everyone expected it to be longer.
Everyone in the C Block's gallery room is celebrating. The Weapon Palace have already planned to use this Wizard Heart Competition to raise their reputation further.
I can only be done by winning the duels. Wizard Buckley was greeted with thunderous applause when he returned to the gallery room.
The announcer then said there will be a 5 minute break between the duels.
Hearing that the crowd starts to wait for the next match up.
A Block Gallery Room:
I don't know whether to call him stupid or not. The Red Sand seems to have more potential than the Weapon magic.
But the Wizard Ralph's moves are rather predictable.
"You should not underestimate anyone," I said in my heart.
Everyone saw that Buckley used a clever trick to fool the opponent. The ice cold air was not the real attack. But the other magic spell which strengthens the Weapon.
"I don't know who will be the next?" Pete uttered.
"I have a feeling that next will be one of us," Rayon responded.
The wizards here are no less than other wizards. It's just that you need to know the clever use of magic spells.
"Why are you being silent today?" Mike Curtis asked.
"Nothing," I replied without turning towards him.
Meanwhile,
The malicious people are showing their movements. The whole capital city is currently engrossed in the Wizard Heart Competition.
The whole country is watching a live stream including the wizard students in all of the 3 academies.
Most importantly the influences from the various forces present in the duel arena as well. Apart from watching the duels, their job is to collect the intel.
The Killers of the Shadow Skull are on the move as well. They already know the target's match up was against the Royal Force Hall Wizard.
They are waiting for the opportunity to sneak into the city. Though the patrol guards are not high ranking wizards.
But the killers are skeptical. They fear that there will be a backhand left behind the White Faction Wizard. Normally in Capital Cities, the security measures are tighter.
The Evil Wizards can't sneak into the Capital City on normal days. But the current situation was not ordinary.
So the Killers are rather patient. They somehow found a way to watch the live stream. There is still time left in their hands to complete the task.
Meanwhile,
Inside the Dark League HQ:
The old man shrouded in shadows reaches a secret place. It's the Subspace where the Dark Lord of the Dark League is hiding.
There is more than one dark lord. But not all of them are at their peak. Some are nearing their death. Few are nearing their life span because of hidden injuries.
There are dark lords whose wizard path has been severed as well. The Subspace is more like a place for disabled.
But undoubtedly they are notorious evil wizards in their lifetime. Now they are hiding in a secret place.
The old man shrouded in shadows looking at the black lake in front of him. This back lake appears to be calm.
But there is actually a subspace inside of it.
The old man takes out a block scroll from his sleeves before burning it.
The next second, weird light shot from the black scroll towards the black sea.
The light hits the empty spot in the mid air.
"Who are you?"
A deep voice sounded all of a sudden. Hearing that old man shrouded in shadows knows that it's coming from the sub-space.
Then the old man reveals his identity. Then he talks about the do or die situation of the dark league.
20 minutes later,
"Harumph"
A cold snort sounded. But this was a different voice compared to the earlier one.
The next second, the black lake changes before a void opening appears.
The next second, an extremely fragile looking old man wrapped up in a black clothes walks out.
Seeing that the dark league old man sighed in relief.
He was the strongest among the active elders of the dark league. But he is still nothing compared to the dark lord.
The dark lord was the one of many who is nearing the life span. He has a maximum of 3-5 years left.
"I want to die without regret. Tell me what happened clearly," He asked.
Then the dark league elder then guides him towards the Black Tower.
In a blink of an eye, both of them appeared in the Black Tower.
The dark lord sits on the main seat. The elder stood a few steps away from him. Though this dark lord is nearing his death..
But he is feeling frightening oppression from him. Not only that he is afraid to look into the eyes of the Dark Lord.
"Tell me," the dark lord said.
Hearing that the dark elder started to explain the events which happened recently. Including their connections with the Supreme Wizard of the Meteor Country.
It's because of the Supreme Wizard, he was forced into this place.
