When Angel finished reading the message, his gaze blurred for a moment.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Angel suddenly space out, Gloria could not help asking curiously.
Angel let out a long breath and said slowly, "The result is out."
The message contained the result of the "Devil Gourmet VS Armored Goddess" match.
"Since the result is out, it looks like there's no chance to investigate Azaz's background. But why do you look like this... Huh, could it be?" Halfway through speaking, Gloria suddenly sensed something was wrong. "Who won?"
Angel slowly turned his gaze toward Shali beside him.
"You didn't lose unfairly."
As Shali stood there stunned, Angel said, "The result this time was Devil Gourmet's victory... He defeated Kafolian."
No one present had expected such an outcome!
Kafolian was the sole heir to the Shepherd God's Outer Garment. In everyone's eyes, she had been a formidable contender capable of competing with Jiebo for the crown, yet she had fallen midway through the tournament?
"Az... Azaz advanced to the semifinals?" Shali asked in disbelief.
Angel nodded. "Yes."
Although Angel had never met Azaz, defeating Kafolian meant his strength was absolutely nothing to scoff at. Kafolian was not only a bloodline-side wizard nearly invincible among those of her rank, but she also possessed the Shepherd God's Outer Garment, a great killing weapon that even official wizards coveted desperately.
Yet even so, Kafolian had still lost to Azaz. This meant Azaz defeating Shali had not been a coincidence; he possessed absolute strength.
After hearing the news, Shali was initially too shocked to speak. But upon thinking it over carefully, when she had once faced Kafolian, her final outcome had been nothing but a bedraggled retreat. Azaz being able to defeat Kafolian was enough to show that he was stronger than she was. In
