Not only Blaze but even the audience spectating from that large distance felt the waves of Mana radiating out of him.

Meanwhile, the Rank-9 Mages were all surprised.

Even Ozul didn't understand what was happening, ”This has already exceeded the power of a middle stage Rank-8...”

Hearing his conclusion, Raven was astounded, 'Did he... somehow broke through the middle stage?!'

Many others also reached a conclusion similar to Raven, but the experienced ones could tell that such was not the case. Mikol hadn't advanced, but they couldn't understand what was happening with him either.

Ozul turned his head towards Old Gu with a questioning face, ”What is happening with him?”

Old Gu didn't reply to his question directly and instead made an exaggerated mysterious face. After a moment passed, he said in a deep voice, ”You should know it better than me, young man. After all, whatever is happening is probably because of you. Gahaha!”

'Probably? Does that mean he isn't sure either?' Ozul pondered about it for a while before focusing back on the battle.

He knew that the situation was dangerous for Blaze, and he was ready to intervene at any given time to stop the battle if he deemed it necessary.

At that moment, Blaze didn't know what was happening either, but he understood that the situation had suddenly taken a bad turn for him.

He looked at Mikol's bloodshot eyes and felt as if he was in pain. However, he didn't care about that right now, his thoughts raced to plan his next course of action.

'No... I don't have the luxury of time to think right now!' Blaze shouted inside his mind.

He realized that if Mikol was in pain for whatever reason, it was better to attack since he might be distracted.

He instantly cast giant icicles at Mikol and rushed at him at the same time.

Although he realized that the energy Mikol released was way above his, the latter's grisly appearance gave him a little confidence.

The giant icicles seemed to have directly hit Mikol, but it was the ice that shattered and Mikol barely took a few steps back. He had cast a light shield in front of him the moment those icicles threatened to hit him.

Blaze wasn't fazed since those icicles were solely for distraction in the first place. The ice hadn't fallen to the ground yet when he closed in and was just about to hit Mikol.

What he didn't expect was a crazed look on Mikol's face as he had already prepared a spell for him!

”!!!”

Boom!

Dirt rose all around the ground blurring everyone's vision. All of them had seen what had just happened and almost everyone thought that Blaze was done for.

The representative of the Mercenary Guild squinted his eyes. If Mikol really killed Blaze, then he would have to compensate the Three-Eyed Strangers by punishing Mikol. And that would prove to be really difficult since he was from the Church of Light.

Only when the dust started to settle did everyone notice that there were more than two silhouettes there. It meant that not only had Blaze survived, but someone had interrupted the battle! No one had seen anyone flying towards them, so it was a little surprising.

When things became clear enough, they noticed that it was actually the leader of the Three-Eyed Strangers, Ozul. The moment he had noticed that it was dangerous for Blaze, he hadn't waited for a second before he intervened.

At this time, Blaze leaned on the hand made with the Ball of Purity since Ozul had pushed him to the side at the crucial time so the spell hit the ground instead.

And when Blaze looked at the giant crater at the place where the Spell had hit, his body involuntarily sucked in a cold breath, 'There was no chance I could have survived that attack! Damn this crazy psychopath!'

He could help but feel angry that Mikol had used such a lethal attack. At the same time, he was thankful that Ozul had arrived at the crucial time to save him otherwise he would have been dead by now.

Although everyone in the audience was surprised by this sudden turn of events, the Rank-9 Mages were the most shocked.

They, as Rank-9 Mages, had thought that Ozul was also around their level, and maybe even a little weaker since he had recently advanced. However, just now, they weren't even able to feel that he had moved from his seat and appeared a hundred meters away in just the blink of an eye!

Previously they had blamed the artifacts for them not being able to sense any Mana from him, but they now had some worrying thoughts running through their minds.

Could he actually be stronger than Rank-9?
