The six great Wizard Forces’ "Leaders" are all Level 3 Wizards, but that doesn’t mean that there are only six Level 3 Wizards in this tournament.
In fact, whether it is the Thunder Council, Crimson Tower, or even the Black Nightmare Swamp and Melt Crystal Lake, there is more than one Level 3 Wizard genius.
They are also the focus of this competition, and compared to their respective forces’ "Leaders", they are only slightly inferior in terms of strength and talent.
When the first Level 3 Wizard genius stepped onto the stage, the atmosphere of the arena truly started to heat up, and the topic and discussions previously started by Ronan were quickly overshadowed.
The duel between Level 2 Wizards was never the real highlight of this match, the main competition was the strength between members who are Level 3 and above.
The first round of thirty matches lasted from the sparkling stars until dawn broke, culminating early with the crash of two Level 3 Wizard geniuses.
One of the duelists was a Level 3 Wizard genius from Black Nightmare Swamp named "Gattuso," who seemed to have long been famous, quite well-known among the circles of Level 2 Wizards from several forces, as Ronan kept hearing bits about Gattuso from those around him.
And facing Gattuso... was the top genius of the Silver Magic Ring—"Four-Colored Metal" Orian.
The originally separate four combat arenas were now completely taken over by the dense, rippling blue gloom emanating from one of them.
This faint blue gloaming, unlike the sensation released by Ice Magic, was closer to the color of corpse lights in graveyards, lingering like living creatures in the high air of the four arenas, each gathering and scattering bringing an intense sense of unease.
Clad in a black robe, with a deep and gloomy demeanor, Gattuso stood in the midst of this countless blue gloam, his right hand clutching a strangely shaped black Magic Wand, which was quite short and shaped like a six-legged lizard’s corpse that had been skinned and dried.
The continuous stream of blue gloams radiated exactly from the eyes of the lizard’s corpse on this bizarre Magic Wand.
"[Calamity Spirit Tide]!"
Gattuso uttered the strange syllables of a spell, and under his command, the countless blue gloams over the sky insanely surged towards a certain spot right in the middle of the battlefield.
There stood Orian, tall, his pale gold hair flowing like light, with a massive energy field twirling around him, combining into a huge green crystal energy body, flashing with an almost substantial gorgeous luster, perfectly enveloping Orian within it.
"[Four-colored Jade Crystal]!"
A multitude of blue gloams continuously smashed against the huge green energy crystal, emitting a series of dull and sharp sounds, yet unable to break through the surface of the crystal.
Orian, enveloped in a strong aura and with a calm expression, walked step by step toward Gattuso amidst the onslaught of the blue gloams.
The latter, eyes somber, upon realizing that his spell could not break through Orian’s defenses, immediately waved his Magic Wand, a majestic and mysterious Qi Mechanism flowing from his body, instantly forming a massive terrifying Magic Domain.
The countless blue gloams in the sky stopped their attack on Orian, transitioning from extreme motion to a eerie stillness.
Orian seemed to sense something and his steps halted silently, slightly lowering his head.
The next moment, Gattuso’s eyes, shrouded in countless Magic Domain Qi Mechanisms, burst forth with terrifying blue light, quickly pointing a finger toward Orian.
"Level 1 Law Domain Resonance, [Tiklan’s Fierce Face—Spirit-eating Ghost Fish]!"
In an instant, countless stationary blue gloams transformed into an immensely huge and surging vortex, this whirlpool seemed to truly exist, even cold liquid splashing from it.
A thick scent of decay wafted from the vortex, and massive expanses of black appeared in the void, as if a vast decaying black swamp was rapidly spreading.
Orian raised his hand, the huge green energy crystal surrounding him lit up, but before he could act...
An ancient, frightful roar echoed through the void, the huge blue vortex, within the decaying black swamp, a ferocious primordial piranha fiercely leaped out.
Ancient, barbaric, ferocious, the atmosphere was instantly filled with the scent of decadence, the semi-virtual piranha, its bony body almost visible, opened its large mouth and swallowed Orian whole in the middle of the battlefield!
Yet before the spectators could express their shock, the gigantic primordial piranha’s Magic Domain phenomenon suddenly exploded.
The old, decayed atmosphere on the field was instantly swept away by another overpoweringly strong Magic Domain; the huge blue vortex in the sky completely dispersed, shattering the black swamp...
Dazzling firelight cleared everything, followed closely by Orian, now encased in a giant red crystal, reappearing.
At this moment, Orian, emitting dazzling light from all over his body, golden-red firelight flowed like molten lava along his body, countless powerful Magic Domain Qi Mechanisms intertwined, tearing and melting everything.
"[Four-colored Molten Fire Crystal]!"
Orian made a lifting hand motion.
Immediately, countless narrow, sword-like sharp crystal pillars sprouted from the red crystal surrounding him; in just a moment, they pierced through layers of the void, reaching straight for Gattuso’s brow.
Gattuso stood frozen on the spot, his body stiff, his already pale cheeks turned even paler, and fine beads of sweat emerged.
