Ancient Wizards: A Little Progress Every Day

"for you!"

Evaque pulled two items from under his animal-skin robe and tossed them to Dago from a distance.

Dago reached out and caught it, finding it to be a communication stone and a small black box covered with strange patterns. Inside the box was something that looked like a dried insect egg.

"Taking it directly can heal the wounds of your soul."

Evaque said to Dago, "As for the communication stone, I'll contact you if you're still alive after things are over here."

Dago nodded. He had to admit that Evaque was a decent person; even though he had injured his soul in the battle, he had offered him medicine to heal it.

However, he did not take the soul-healing medicine given to him by Evaque. It was not that he did not trust him, but that after the first round of bloody battle, Isidore's mechanism was still in effect, and the mysterious orbs of light "snatched" from Evaque and the Crimson Oath were rapidly merging into his body.

Nourished by this immense soul power, his soul injuries healed rapidly, and his soul power increased dramatically, with the fifth soul crystal growing at a visible speed.

"Under normal ranked battles, I could never have harvested so much soul power."

"Even if Isidore's bloody battle wasn't for the final inheritance, the soul power gained along the way was an immense opportunity."

Looking at the dazzling, star-like halo surrounding him, Dago thought to himself.

At this moment, Evaque, who was about to leave the stage, suddenly released a wave of consciousness, connecting with his mental energy.

"Dago, the spirits have warned me that a great calamity will befall this place."

"You'd better watch yourself."

Before Dago could react to Evaquer's unexpected message, he saw Evaquer give him a deep look before turning and leaving without looking back.

"A tremendous catastrophe."

Dago stared at Evaque's disappearing figure, his expression slightly startled, but he quickly regained his composure.

Regardless of whether Evaque's news is true or false, and no matter what kind of disaster he is talking about, for now, all he has to face is the bloody battle of Isidore.

If he doesn't strive to win the final victory in the bloody battle, he might not even live to see the arrival of that so-called "calamity".

"call--"

Dago let out a soft breath, temporarily setting aside the matter of Evaque, and turned around to find that two more blue pillars of light were rising in his field of vision.

He was not given any chance to catch his breath.

The second round of the bloody battle has begun.

But when Dago saw his opponent, his eyes suddenly turned strange.

A giant made entirely of black rock suddenly leaped out from a blue-glowing stone pillar and landed heavily on the platform with a loud thud.

In an instant, a large number of free energy particles surged into the sky and condensed into countless bright yellow light spots in the air.

A gash appeared on the head of the Black Rock Giant, which swallowed a large number of bright yellow light spots in one gulp, and its size immediately increased.

"Click-clack—"

In the blink of an eye, it grew to a height of 100 meters.

At this moment, Dago, who was standing in front of the Black Rock Giant and looking up at it, was as small as an insignificant ant compared to its opponent.

"roar--"

The black rock giant, over a hundred meters tall, slowly lowered its head and let out a roar that sounded like the rumble of a mountain.

The terrifying sound waves created ripples in the air, violently blowing Dago's hair backward.

Dago remained calm, but a boy in an earth-yellow robe, sitting on the left shoulder of the Black Rock Giant, looked down at him and let out a sharp, cheerful laugh, like the sound of smooth stones rubbing together.

"It's finally our turn, Nus!"

"I'm so happy for you."

"You'll have a new toy soon!"

Compared to Venus, the heir of the Great Stone Peak who has performed exceptionally well in both appearance and skill from the beginning, the person who came up from the other side of the stage appeared much more ordinary and low-key.

He was a young man wearing a black robe without any patterns or markings.

He has an average appearance and his strength is only at the mid-stage of the third ring.

Apart from a pair of rare, clear, wine-red eyes that evoke images of a century-old aged wine and the finest agate and diamonds, he appears "ordinary" in every aspect.

So mediocre that when he appeared on the central platform, a considerable number of people only then realized that there was actually such a person among the top eight.

No one even knew his name or which wizarding faction he belonged to.

Looking back at the young man's previous battles, it seems that luck played a significant role.

He was like an ordinary person who accidentally "stumbled" into the top echelon, appearing in a place where he shouldn't be, under the spotlight, so ordinary from head to toe that it was "blinding".

However, Dago's attention was mostly focused on the young man.

"Anglio".

"It seems that Dago Heca should be able to win this round of bloody battle. Although Venus is strong, he may not be able to compare with Evaque. Even Evaque was defeated by Dago, so he probably won't be a match for Dago either."

"Yeah, Evaque's group is much stronger overall than the two in this round. That guy whose name I don't know looks like he's just there to make up the numbers."

"The most crucial thing is to look at what comes next. Michael, Gale, and Vicki are the three strongest players in the first tier. After this round of fierce battles, Dago will have an exceptionally difficult time."

The discussions outside the arena penetrated the rune array and reached the platform. Having experienced the first round of bloody battle, the watching wizards had gained a further understanding of Dago's strength.

So much so that when the second round of fierce battles began, public opinion was "confident" that he could win easily, because his opponents in the second round seemed somewhat weaker than the two in the first round.

These whispers reached the ears of the boy on the Black Rock Giant's shoulder. The boy smiled innocently, but his eyes, which looked like they were made of mud, kept flashing with angry rage.

"Nus, it seems they don't acknowledge our strength. What's next?"

Dago completely ignored Venus's incessant, strange chatter, his gaze never leaving Anglie, who was not far away.

Suddenly, Dago saw Ang smile and make a gesture of stretching out his arms.

The action felt so familiar to him, as if he had seen Ang do the same thing somewhere before.

He remembered.

That was on the arena in the Goblin Plains.

Soon, Dago sensed an unusual aura emanating from Anglie, whose figure rapidly spread into a shadow.

"Just like last time!"

Dago's eyes flashed, and he quickly entered a combat state, raising his awareness of danger to the extreme.

He hasn't forgotten.

Last time, when Ang used this method, the result was that Gehrman, who was the number one among the six young generation, was seriously injured and on the verge of death!

He doesn't want to follow in Gehrman's footsteps.

However, Dago did not sense any danger. Instead, the voice of Venus that had been ringing in his ears suddenly stopped.

The next second, a sharp, angry roar suddenly rang out.

"Boom—"

At a moment no one expected, the colossal black rock giant, which occupied nearly two-thirds of the central platform, suddenly froze in place, and then...

It collapsed as quickly as a decaying mountain.

Amidst the rolling rocks and towering dust, the phantom of a deformed boy with an unusually large head and a short body soared into the sky, frantically trying to rush out of the platform.

But at a certain moment, it was gently grasped by a slender, fair hand, and then fed into someone's mouth like some kind of delicious food.

Amidst the deafening roar of collapsing boulders, Ang, like the most noble and elegant aristocrat, gently wiped his lips with a clean white handkerchief.

The handkerchief slipped from his fingers and fell away.

Endless shadows rose from behind Anglie, like the deepest and longest night without stars or moon.

Wings with jet-black feathers gracefully unfurled from Anglie's back, while surging clouds of soul gray coalesced behind him into a massive, raven-shaped, malevolent silhouette.

This moment.

High above the platform, Ang has shed all traces of "ordinariness and mediocrity".

His facial features, figure, and appearance did not seem to have changed much, but he was like a pearl that had been washed clean of dust, becoming dazzling under everyone's gaze!

Ang looked down at Dago, who was standing on the platform, with a smile on his face, and said softly, "The annoying flies are gone. Now it's just the two of us, my dear Dago."

Dago didn't speak; his gaze was calm as he and Ang met eyes silently, one above the other.

The phantom souls behind each of them, the phantoms of Wang Donglong Beiheite and the ancient fallen raven, seemed to be gazing at each other from afar.

At this moment, the heated discussions outside the venue also subsided.

Everyone stared blankly at the two people on the central platform, their expressions stunned.

The image of Venus's sudden death and his soul being consumed as food lingered in everyone's mind, a scene that lingered for a long time.
