Thus, he began to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses.
He could sense that Eulica, while more brutal, indifferent, and crazed than usual, was clearly suffering from a feedback disruption to external information. This meant her sensory perception was even more impaired than normal.
During the attacks, Angel began releasing Illusion Nodes.
As expected, Eulica paid no attention to these Illusion Nodes. As more and more nodes were released and combined to form a dominion of Illusionary Realm, Angel’s disadvantage began to reverse!
In the dozens of subsequent attacks, due to the illusion, Eulica frequently made misjudgments.
Angel seized every opportunity, but the gap between him and Eulica was still too great; even when he caught her off-guard, it was never enough to be decisive in the fight.
Although the battle did not result in a clear winner in a short time, the sight of Angel suppressing Eulica was extremely gratifying to watch. This was especially true for people like Jin Cancan, who, unaware of the intricacies, simply rejoiced at Angel gaining the upper hand.
Lyon in the spectator stand also breathed a sigh of relief, and looking at Angel, he felt, apart from happiness for him, a genuine admiration from the bottom of his heart.
White Bear was also watching intently, partly because this duel between a Wizard Apprentice and an Official Wizard was a rare opportunity, and partly because of Eulica’s identity… which concerned him greatly.
“Still too weak,” Sanders suddenly murmured to himself.
White Bear’s mouth moved, but in the end, he said nothing. He simply didn’t know what to say, or rather, how to comment. Angel’s deficiencies were quite evident, but these could easily be resolved with time. If this was considered too weak, then the mainstream apprentices in the Wizards’ Realm… might be nowhere better than salted fish.
After White Bear finished ruminating, Sanders suddenly said, “Eulica is too weak.”
White Bear paused, realizing that Sanders’ previous comment was not aimed at Angel, but Eulica? White Bear frowned. Was Eulica weak? At present, it seemed indeed a bit weak, but was that important?
What he did not know was that shortly before, Sanders had just learned from Angel the information that ‘Eulica has gone mad, and even Suise cannot suppress her.’
If one considered the current situation, the majority of Official Wizards could handle Eulica’s strength, and ‘Red-haired’ Suise was one of the prominent figures among contemporary wizards, even a potential leader among non-True Knowledge Wizards, also young and likely to advance to True Knowledge at any moment.
How could Suise fail to suppress Eulica?
“Or is there something else wrong with Eulica?” Sanders privately pondered.
At that moment, as Eulica was repeatedly attacked, and even beaten down by an apparently weak Apprentice, her expression became even crazier than before.
During a standoff with Angel, Eulica suddenly spread open her palm, and with a sudden flash of intense red light, a faint outline of an object appeared on her palm.
As Angel was puzzling over this, a figure suddenly swooped in from afar.
“Eulica, stop!” The figure was upon them in an instant, and when Angel recognized the person, he did not feel surprised.
The bright red hair of the newcomer shone brilliantly.
It was Suise!
Suise looked at Angel with a complex expression. He had to maintain the blood seal circle every night, and he had been repairing the seal. However, he had been watching the battle between Angel and Eulica all along.
He remembered that not long ago when Angel left, he was just an “ordinary Apprentice”. But now, his strength was beyond imagination. Suise estimated that if he were to confront Angel, the latter would probably be able to hold his ground for a while.
“Angel, you step back first. Eulica is not someone you can handle right now, especially since you’ve angered her,” Suise said to Angel without inquiring about the mystery of his strength.
As Angel was wondering, Suise sighed softly, “Have you forgotten about that item Eulica has?”
That item? Angel paused for a moment and then realized something, turning to look.
Indeed, a splendid crown had appeared in Eulica’s palm.
