c1432: Another Variable (2)

All the apprentices, including Falga, had expressions on their faces that momentarily froze, and even a few covered their chests where traces of blood seemed to seep from the corners of their lips.

The old wizard from Silent Hill, seeing this, hurriedly activated the protective barriers of the Ghost Ship in the sky, safeguarding all the apprentices from harm.

While Falga was reeling from the shock of dominance, he heard Isabella’s final confirmation ringing in his ears, “Dominance has appeared, the general situation has essentially been set.”

“Not only that, but the quality of this dominance is extremely high,” Kimberly nodded in agreement, seemingly taking a long breath of relief, “I didn’t expect it, but Angel has truly done it.”

As Kimberly’s voice fell, clusters of clouds suddenly drifted into the pitch-black night sky.

Even though these clouds had not yet dispersed, everyone knew clearly that this was the prelude to an anomaly. And presently, there could be only one reason for the anomaly—

It was the blond figure below the heavens.

Now that anomalies have even appeared, the outcome is self-evident.

Angel, breakthrough success!

From a mere Apprentice, he has officially entered the domain of the Wizard! As long as he does not seek his own death, not only can he live for a thousand years, he is also one step closer to the Door of Truth!

The wizards present, having mostly seen “Glowing City Night Talk,” have witnessed Angel’s rise with their own eyes.

In just a few short years, Angel has come this far from a mortal, and to call it a “miracle” would also be fitting!

In the hearts of all, there was surprise and shock.

Even Isabel, who was known as the strongest talent a millennium ago, could not help but show a tinge of emotion, while also feeling relieved inside.

Isabella was hopeful for Angel’s successful breakthrough, after all, Black Castle was just about to formalize friendship with Illusion Demon Island. If Angel failed in his breakthrough, the value of this Purification Ceremony would be greatly diminished.

With Angel’s successful breakthrough, it was also a good thing for Black Castle.

“A breakthrough, he really did break through,” Isabella murmured in disbelief.

“Now, you should have nothing to say, right?” Kimberly teased.

Isabella, coming out of her stupor, put away her look of surprise and snorted with a forced demeanor, “Who knows if he used any external materials. Perhaps his potential is already exhausted. Even if he’s broken through, it’s hard to say what potential he has for the future.”

“You think Sanders would allow Angel to use such external materials?” Kimberly scoffed.

Isabella did not reply but was clearly less forceful.

However, at that moment, Isabella suddenly said, “No, it seems something has gone wrong!”

Isabella’s words dropped like a stone, stirring ripples in people’s hearts. The wizards, previously playfully bantering, all refocused their gazes below the dome.

They saw that Angel, who had previously appeared very calm, suddenly held his head, entering a posture of unconscious defense, completely curling up.

The energy around him was no longer as stable and peaceful as before, showing signs of significant turmoil.

Even the anomalies that had previously manifested in the sky were gradually thinning and showing signs of fading away.

The current situation seemed wholly inconsistent with a successful breakthrough, didn’t it?

“What exactly has happened, what’s going on?” someone exclaimed in surprise.

Could it be that Isabella was right?

Had Angel stumbled at the last step? The promotion… failed?
