However, unable to resist the powerful bloodline, after awakening the Power of Storm, and acquiring casting knowledge at the Magic Guild, he gradually mastered the power within him and became a tyrant among Adventurers.

After encountering The Soul Apex, he was beaten half to death, but Rams thought that if he could be used as a good battle force when he surrendered, he would try to recruit him into the group despite many people's protests at the time.

To Rams, this person's advantage is that he yields in front of authority, and as long as you throw him a bone, he'll behave relatively well, so it doesn't matter if he barks a bit once in a while.

But like a vicious dog that only looks pleasing in the eyes of its master, even the opportunists who joined only for The Soul Apex's reputation don't like Willger.

While in the group, Li Ang would overlook certain matters to ensure the team's activities ran smoothly.

But now that's no longer necessary.

Li Ang smiled at Willger and said, "A stray dog from a pile of trash, only fixated on scrambling for scraps, there's no room for your barking here. Go back and lick Rams' dirty feet. This way, when he loses utterly and rolls back home wallowing in mud, it won't be as disgraceful. That's your greatest use, you trash who doesn't understand tactics."

Willger's expression froze on his face.

"Haha."

Zoe couldn't help but laugh, "He's stunned, how foolish."

Mocked by the young girl, Willger was about to lose his temper, but to comprehend what Li Ang said, he couldn't spare his mind to target Zoe, taking about ten seconds to digest before he fell into a rage.

The magic power he controlled surged around him; a fierce wind rose from nowhere, faint thunder echoed.

"You lesser being dare to cast magic here!"

Elaphia raised her hand, and all the Silver Light Blades manifesting around her aimed at Willger, halting his momentum.

"Ah, Li Ang, turns out you went to suck up to her; no wonder you're so arrogant."

The Storm Mage's words made Elaphia's expression briefly complex, then without a word, she sent all the blades towards Willger mercilessly.

"Oh, please calm down, everyone, this is the Council Meeting Hall after all."

A youth standing on the other side of Yusef drew a strangely shaped short sword, intercepting the path of Elaphia's Flying Blades.

The blade's edge disintegrated into a purple Blade Whip, entangling the Silver Light Blades, producing a sizzling sound at the point of contact, as if some force started corroding the Silver Light Blades from the whip edges.

"'Cloudwalkers' Guild Master, A Xiang." Li Ang called out his name.

This youth had black hair, with a name exuding oriental charm, his expression was always calm and smiling.

The weapon used to stop Elaphia's attack, Li Ang glanced at it, precisely the Treasure Artifact, a short sword made by Ernest—"Bone-Deep Passion and Scorn."

Just moments ago, A Xiang was also conversing with Yusef.

Had Yusef promised some benefits? Even the usually laid-back Cloudwalkers' guild master chatted happily with him? Li Ang pondered.

"And this gentleman is?"

When Willger suddenly exploded in rage earlier, Yusef instinctively activated the shield on his equipment to retreat, once seeing it was safe, he deactivated the shield and resurfaced.

He didn't recognize Li Ang, assuming a demeanor awaiting Li Ang to introduce himself.

"He's my guild master, really powerful." Zoe said with utmost confidence.

Her sudden interjection startled Dorothy, who quickly restrained her.

ALulu remained outwardly calm, her observing gaze falling on Willger.

Andasu, similar to the red-haired young girl, firmly began speaking before the half-elf could stop her, "He is my mas—"

"Ah, ahem, you don't speak, let me do it."

Li Ang originally didn't want to pay Yusef any attention, but realized it was better to manage the situation himself rather than have the problematic young girls from his guild speak unexpectedly.

"My name is Li Ang, a witch, specializing in supporting team battles. This time, at the Speaker's invitation, I will attend this Knight Resolution Council."

Upon hearing 'witch,' Yusef raised his chin, not responding to Li Ang, sweeping his gaze over the young girls behind him.

In truth, with their appearance, descending from the elevator would have attracted some attention, but the people here had seen grander scenes, so they wouldn't focus solely on them.

"And these few—"

Yusef tilted his head slightly, his tone not actually questioning who they were, suggesting more that they were unfit to be here.

"Ha, Li Ang," Willger sneered, "I think you've lost your mind, bringing along such a group—"

Knowing this foul-mouthed person wouldn't say anything pleasant, before he could utter offensive words about the young girls, Li Ang already cast a Slow Spell on him.

Many present hadn't seen the effect of this spell, the Cloudwalkers' Guild Master frowned, studying Li Ang like he was investigating something new. Even Speaker Sisyphus raised an eyebrow.

Yusef had little reaction to the spell itself, much of his elegance faded away as he chided Li Ang, "Quickly release your restrictive spell? You were the one who spewed profanities first."

Willger rubbed his hands together producing lightning, while cursing, "You—this—bast—"

"Enough, stop."

Sisyphus sighed, the Golden Staff in his hand struck the ground, a golden stripe surged beneath everyone's feet, immediately extinguishing the lightning on Willger's body.

"Wow, it appears magic power can't be manipulated?" Zoe whispered.

Willger slowly revealed a look of shock; the Slow Spell lasted six seconds on him, at the end of the duration, he realized he couldn't cast magic, his eyes bewildered on whether to look at Li Ang or Sisyphus.

Li Ang's scolding wasn't groundless; The Soul Apex had risen too quickly, and among them were some who considered themselves formidable but had no concept of true power.

Perhaps because Rams frequently mentioned that only guild masters from the top four guilds could enter the Knight Resolution Council, some from The Soul Apex forgot that individuals with top ten merit dominated the council.

Though it didn't completely represent the top ten personal power, it was close enough, each being a Nebis sky monster.

With Sisyphus's intervention, A Xiang and Elaphia ceased speaking, leaving him to control the situation.

The blond man looked at Yusef: "Mr. Li Ang and these children, along with Mr. Mort, they are the protagonists of today's meeting. I invited them as my guests."

"You invited him..." Willger stared wide-eyed at Li Ang.

Based on his understanding of people within The Soul Apex over the years, Li Ang even knew what he was contemplating—Captain Rams struggled so much to connect with Yusef's second seat, why could Li Ang participate in the Knight Resolution Council directly?

Yusef said, "A witch and independent mercenaries, along with a bunch of inexplicable young Adventurers?"

"Allow me to correct you, they are independent Sky Knights." Li Ang said.

"Unrelated people, please leave." Sisyphus said.

Though he appeared very gentle, once he decided, his words carried an indisputable authority.

Once more, the Golden Staff emitted a golden stripe, causing Willger's resistance to vanish, even Yusef's desire to speak was suppressed.

Willger slinked onto the elevator in embarrassment, unable to resist but glaring at Sisyphus with an expression that seemed to say "you actually used this spell on me."

He suppressed his anger, maintaining an elegant demeanor, and stepped onto the elevator.

"Bye-bye." Li Ang waved to the Storm Mage.

Willger remained shocked; only those genuinely affected by the Slow Spell could comprehend the feeling of their very soul seemingly freezing.

He was somewhat afraid to look directly at Li Ang, yet his eyes showed the expression of a wounded vicious dog.

The elevator descended from the top of the Council Tower, Sisyphus waved, the Golden Staff cast a light curtain, calming everyone's emotions, soothing their spirits.

He influenced the venue with spells.

The Golden Staff he held is known as the "Golden Palace Staff," a Level 9 Treasure Artifact, its Conceptual Skill being "Golden Palace Law," which allows him to freely cast all types of spells within the magic-constructed range.

Of course, this "all types" might just stem from the staff creator's cognition, certainly, even Li Ang's Slow Spell surprised Sisyphus.

Additionally, he just cast spells with the effects of Demon Ban, Decree, and Inspire. In battle, he employs Elemental Magic, Energy Bombardment, and Summoning Art comprehensively.

The effects of the Golden Palace Staff can combine with domains to greatly amplify power, which is precisely why he holds the title of Golden Radiance Mage.

While holding the position of Speaker, some might forget he is also a top ten merit Sky Knight.

Sisyphus smiled gently at everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, please enter the hall, the other council members should arrive shortly."
