Warlock Apprentice

Chapter 189 - The Three Levels of Death



“Wanna join me?” Angor quietly expected Dave to agree. Having someone working together meant they could make up for each other’s shortcomings and complete tasks faster.

However, Dave shook his head. “No, I’m not interested in a music box… Come again when you plan to make something else next time.”

Dave believed that Angor could not possibly make something wonderful again like before. It was just a toy! Could Angor actually enchant a music box with Sharpen Rune of something?

“Well, alright,” said Angor. He seemed a little disappointed.

The sound of a heavy bell being struck was heard in the entire underground market.

“Ten in the night… I should go.” Angor stood up and bid farewell to Dave.

When he reached the door, Angor suddenly remembered something and turned around to ask, “Hey Dave, do you have books about Runecraft here?”

The last three levels — 13th, 14th, and 15th level — looked very different compared to the lower ones. They were the most occupied as well as the most dangerous levels. Someone would get killed in these levels almost every day.

This was why they were also referred to as the “Three Levels of Death” by many apprentices.

Instead of joining a match right away, Angor chose an arena and observed the fighters first. As another participant in this level, he did not need to pay for a seat on the audience stand. This was another reward given to the participants by Sky Tower.

Here, the arenas were distributed in a different way.

There were only three arenas in the entire level 13. They were a bit bigger than the arenas down below, and they had three times as many spectator seats around them. Each arena could allow thousands of people to watch the match.

Currently, all three arenas had ongoing matches. Angor picked the one with the most audience and watched.

The screen above the arena showed [Fox Master VS Herald of Typhoon].

Angor knew neither of them, but the name “Fox Master” somehow reminded him of someone similar and a terrible opponent at that.

Herald of Typhoon was a big, bearded middle-aged male dressed in his uniform robe with green edges decorated by silver and white stripes. There were two shoulder straps on him showing his family emblem.

As for Fox Master… The first thing that came to Angor’s mind was that this individual’s dressing style had too many problems that he did not know where to start to complain.

Fox Master had a young and handsome look on his face. His long, silver hair covered his shoulders loosely. But his white wizard robe and the wooden walking cane with a fox head on the tip somewhat made the man look like some kind of old hermit who hid from civilization. Also, Fox Master kept his eyes shut during the match. The man moved around, cast spells, and did everything else with his eyelids closed. He acted like a young man who had seen enough of this world and did not care about anything.

Herald of Typhoon, as his name suggested, was a wizard skilled at controlling wind element, while Fox Master was a Summoner. However, the latter was not using any monsters. He only summoned the shadow of a beast to attack his opponent.

Herald of Typhoon was at an obvious disadvantage. Fox Master pinned him down easily.

The shadow of a Blood Vixen dashed around the stage like a lightning flash under the command of Fox Master. With his elegant moves, the fight was more like Fox Master’s personal show rather than an actual Sky Tower battle.

The man intentionally made bigger movements just to show his silver hair to everyone.

And he cast spells while spinning so that every audience could see his face.

At least this was what Angor believed so. Angor would admit that Fox Master’s performance did make the match more appealing and it aroused the interest of the audience.

A moment later, Fox Master defeated his opponent by leaving Herald of Typhoon in a completely hopeless state.

Fox Master was exaggerating his moves, but Angor was sure that guy was a lot stronger than the opponents he fought against before.

Even though he lost against Fox Master in a pretty pathetic way, Herald of Typhoon still looked really strong. Angor was positive that he had to use his enchanted bolts as well as a lot of time and hard effort if he hoped to defeat Herald.

He needed to change his tactic.
