Angel had no time to be surprised because there was a fire on the other side…
Toby was completely bewildered by the news that Gloria might be dead. When Angel didn’t know how to comfort him, Twilight stood on stage and quoted No Eyed Man’s auction price again.
All of a sudden, Toby went crazy. His emotion almost instantaneously reaches the peak of anger from extreme sorrow.
This time, the storm brewing was totally different from the previous music box incident. When the music box was put up for auction, Toby felt betrayed, but he was actually more afraid of being scolded by Angel. So he acted out a little bit when he was struggling, longing for Angel to comfort him.
But this time, Toby wasn’t acting at all and was directly furious. When anger goes straight to the brain, even mortals dare to take up arms in the face of the G.o.ds. Not to mention Toby with simpler thoughts. Almost without pause, he directly used the gravity law insight and rushed out of Angel’s arms.
Although the In-House area has a sealing magic array, making it impossible for wizards to cast spells. However, the gravity law insight which Toby comprehended belongs to himself and is not within the scope of the sealing magic array.
Toby flew like an arrow flying away from a bowstring. He was like a meteor, sharply and violently breaking the sound barrier as he crashed directly onto the auction platform.
Angel’s heart was panicked and perturbed. This place is where many wizards have been gathered. There are numerous powerful figures present. With Toby rushing out like this, he is simply looking for death!
The intensity of the sound barrier-breaking instantly attracted everyone’s attention. Including the No Eyed Man in the cage.
Although the No Eyed Man has no eyes, he is still a wizard. Even though the iron cage has the power to seal magic, it does not stop mental forces. The No Eyed Man knew he was being auctioned off, and his heart was already in despair. Hearing the sound barrier-breaking and the clamour around him, he poked out his mental force tentacles with curiosity.
Then he saw a familiar shadow… Grey-brown feathers, red claws, orange beak, green eyes and this unique dress…
“Toby?” No Eyed Man whispered in surprise: “What are you doing here…?”
Meanwhile, in private room No. 35, Flora also raised an eyebrow: “Is that Toby?”
One second is just a blink of an eye for a mortal. But for a wizard, their mind can go around in countless circles already.
With the noise of the scene and the intensity of the sound barrier-breaking. How could Twilight not see what was happening on the auction platform? With a frown on her face, she thought to herself: A bird can understand gravity law insight?
Gravity law insight? The Savage Grottoes? Gravity Garden? Sanders… Twilight’s mind went through twists and turns and turned several times in an instant. If this really has something to do with Sanders, should she stop the bird?
While Twilight was still thinking, the staff member working beside the iron cage had already begun dealing with this event. The auction platform wasn’t covered by a Sealing Magic Array, so Angel saw the colourful magic power ripples from the working staff member. Apparently, they are getting ready to cast a powerful spell.
At this time, if Angel doesn’t want to be implicated, the best response is to do nothing and pretend not to know Toby.
If it weren’t Toby, and instead another person, such as David or Promi. Angel might have chosen to sit on the sidelines and make countermeasures depending on the situation.
But it was Toby who went out of control today, this was his closest partner who rushed out. Toby not only helped him a lot but also saved him countless times during these past six months. Moreover, Toby gave Angel the courage to face his situation when he first arrived in this strange land at a time when he was lost and lonely.
At this moment, Angel’s mind is full of scenes of him getting along with Toby. Toby’s pride and arrogance, Toby’s wilting, Toby’s adorableness and the gentle time together with Toby…
Angel almost without any hesitation, rushed directly out.
At this moment, rational thinking was abandoned while his hot-blooded emotion occupied all his initiative.
When neither David nor Promi has responded, Angel flipped over the railing from the Silver Card VIP area on the second floor with one hand.
“Angel!” With a cry of surprise. David ran to the railing on the second floor and looked with a face of horror at Angel, who had already landed on the ground.
On the other side, Toby flew with anger and his ultimate goal being the No Eyed Man in the iron cage. The staff members on both sides were actually wizard apprentices, so there was no instant spell. As they were preparing to cast the spell, Toby had rushed to the edge of the cage and smashed a hole into the cage with absolute brute force.
And then he stagnated in front of the No Eyed Man.
“Toby…” This low-pitched light sentence was uttered by the No Eyed Man. But at this moment, his mood was full of excitement and surprise, with a hint of disbelief.
“Toby!” The shout was made by Angel. He tried jumping onto the auction platform but was stopped by the defenses on both sides.
At this time, the staff member at the railing was ready to cast a spell. Angel gritted his teeth, pulled out a gold revolver from his pocket, aimed at the staff member and fired several shots at them.
Because of the involvement from the magic array, Angel’s shots were just ordinary bullets which couldn’t hurt anyone. What it can do was interrupt their spell casting.
Sound barriers breaking, the sound from gunshots and the sound of an alarm. Within just a few seconds, there was chaos in the auction house.
The wizard onlookers all looked at this rare scene with the expression of watching a play. How many years has it been since they have seen such a display of someone fighting against the Twilight Auction House? If they don’t watch it today, they won’t know when they will have a chance to see it again the next time. Which would truly be a pity, right?
The calmness of the wizards watching from stands is in stark contrast to the chaos at the auction platform.
At this time, Twilight couldn’t wait any longer. No matter whether the bird is related to Sanders or not, she must strike! However, the bird is only a minor problem. She must solve the problem with this young man first so as not to cause any more chaos later.
Angel is a junior apprentice and Twilight can almost use the back of her hand to solve him. With only a glimmer of light seen from the palm of her hand emerging, a ray of light shot towards Angel.
Angel is being blocked by several defences at this time. With the effect of the sealing magic array. Magic power cannot be used, so he has almost no ability to resist before being directly hit by the ray of light.
When huge force impacted him, it carried a strong destructive energy, causing Angel to tumble for tens of meters before finally crashing into the In-House area wall.
The continuous tumbling and the final impact made Angel’s pain level keep rising. When he slowly slid down the wall, his pain level reached its peak. Angel lost almost all other sensations at this moment. With the exceptions of a rust smell on the tip of his nose. A soaring ringing in his ears which was accompanied by a heartbeat as loud as a beating a drum.
“Angel!” David let out a miserable scream.
Toby looked back and saw Angel’s tragic situation at this time. His whole body was dripping blood. His shoulder blade was pierced, and he had trance-like eyes.
“Tut tut tut, it’s really sad that such a handsome young boy was made to have this appearance.” Lydia’s sarcastic remarks came at just the right time.
“Alas… He tried going beyond his capabilities.” The speaker was Flora. She sat motionless in the private room and didn’t want to save her younger brother. At the beginning of her wizard path, she also had enemies everywhere. Eventually, she was even chased down to the doorsteps of the Savage Grottoes, but Sanders was unmoved as he looked on coldly.
In this world, you cannot rely on anyone. Only your own strength is your truest reliance. This is what Flora had realized.
If he wants her to help, she won’t do it unless he exchanges something of equivalent value.
In private room No. 19, a figure in the dim light and shadow was of a man dressed as a gentleman. He raised his head slightly and then closed his eyes gently. In the mostly empty little room, only a long-lasting sigh remained.
The situation happening in the In-House area is also being broadcast live on the big screen to the Out-House area.
In a corner of the hall, a white-robed teenager, who had been happily waiting for the auction to be over to head over and take his Deep Blue Bloodline. Suddenly had a startled looked on his face as he looked on with a face full of horror. When he saw the young man covered in blood on the big screen he said.
“An… Angel!” This white-robed teenager exclaimed.
……
Angel only felt his spirit was bouncing and jumping before finally calming down. But now he felt he couldn’t move.
He has a hole in his shoulder blade, a broken hand and a broken leg. There are almost no intact parts on his whole body and even his heartbeat slowly began to weaken.
Angel laughed at himself from the bottom of his heart. How can a wizard apprentice fight against a formal wizard? The great disparity in power is as great as a mortal to an ant.
After dealing with Angel, Twilight has to prepare to deal with the bird which broke the rules of Twilight Auction House.
But when she turned back. There was only the No Eyed Man in the cage. The bird had already flown to the side of the boy who had previously been seriously injured.
“Sure enough, they were together. Let’s settle them together.” Looking at Angel’s tragic state, there was no expression on Twilight’s face, only indifference and arrogance.
As soon as Twilight lifts her palm, another ray of light exactly the same as the previous one which injured Angel came towards Toby.
Angel shouted with all his strength: “Toby, get out of the way!”
But Toby did not move. Once he dodges, Angel will be hit by the ray of light.
Toby is now regretful. Once he heard the news of Gloria earlier, he was overwhelmed by anger. As a result, No Eyed Man wasn’t rescued, Angel was also critically injured and could die at any time.
“Run, get out of the way!” Angel yelled.
Toby frantically poured out his gravity law insight ability. But that ray of light didn’t seem to be affected by an influence on the material world and directly hit him without any pause.
“Toby!” As the No Eyed Man and Angel screamed in unison, the ray of light went straight through Toby and hit Angel on the arm.
Toby’s little body formed a parabola as he fell at Angel’s feet.
Angel didn’t care about the injury on his arm. Although his whole body couldn’t move, he wasn’t blind.
He saw Toby spitting blood as his wings trembled slightly. When his mung bean-sized little eyes looked at Angel, it looked filled with guilt, as if he were saying his final goodbyes to Angel.
Tears instantly welled up in Angel’s eyes as he said.
“I don’t blame you. It’s all my fault. I knew something had happened to Gloria. I shouldn’t have kept it hidden from you.” Angel was incoherent, but Toby’s eyes seemed to glaze over slowly.
“No.”
“No!”
