Although Annan hadn't spoken to Tower Master Hugo yet, he had roughly guessed... Tower Master Hugo perhaps wanted to officially pass on the position to Salvatore.
During the previous battle with the Spiritual Guardian Monk, Tower Master Hugo had burned too many souls in order to further stimulate his Elemental Power.
Solely based on frontal combat power, even possessing the Philosopher's Stone, the "Spiritual Guardian Monk" Bernadino could not confront the "Flame Pilferer" Hugo.
Tower Master Hugo was not just an ordinary Gold Wizard.
He was the most powerful transformation wizard in this world with the strongest direct combat power. That holy fire which burned eternally, fueled by wisdom and will, could burn souls directly, ignoring all defenses.
Any material that tried to block him would be twisted into another form through his transformational spells.
