This …
This can't be real!?
Yates seemed to have run into an invisible wall, and he stopped in his tracks in a daze.
Sam forgot to flap the wings on his back and fell to the ground. Even the lingering black mist seemed to have lost its restraint and began to dissipate.
Kyrie and the white mouse on his shoulder seemed to have become a frozen picture, staring blankly in the sky.
Bionna's body hit the stone pillar. At this moment, the severe pain was telling her that it was not a dream.
Anna, who had not left the stone pillar, kept her mouth open but could not make any sound.
Mina, the Sun's Child, stood in front of her sister in a daze, and even forgot to put her arms down as she stared blankly at the man in the sky who she called her "fated enemy".
At this moment, everyone was staring at the apprentice in metal armor in the sky. There was only one voice in their mind.
This can't be real, can it?
So much so that these people instinctively stopped in their tracks and rubbed their eyes with all their might. They carefully looked at the ice cave and the cracks around it, and then looked at the figure in metal armor. They confirmed that the two sorcerer-apprentices in the sky just now were not the other way around. They had seen wrongly.
…
In the sky.
Under the Ashen Mask, Grimm sneered. Is this the strength of the monster in the 15th?
A negative emotion called pride began to grow in Grimm's heart. He was about to release witchcraft and completely suppress the so-called monster in the 15th. However, at this moment, Grimm's body suddenly shook.
The Ashen Mask's transparent defensive cover shattered with a "pa" sound. Afterwards, with a "wa" sound, Glenn spat out everything in his stomach.
Buzz …
Grimm only felt a harsh buzzing sound. Every cell in his body was swept by a high-frequency shock wave. His mind was full of the harsh sound when the weird dagger of the 15th and his Hydra Sword collided. Every cell in his body was vibrating with a certain frequency.
Grimm's body trembled, and his face was extremely pale. The arrogant and complacent negative emotions that had just arisen instantly vanished into nothingness.
Grimm's voice trembled with shock, his pride completely gone. He said fearfully, "Is this the Sound Wave Witchcraft that Ice Age Millie mentioned? This feeling is too similar to the Fake Faceless Magus on the cruise ship! "
As he trembled, Grimm's pores began to bleed, covering his entire skin, making him look like a man made of blood.
At the same time, the ends of Grimm's limbs began to relax like mollusks. Strange, mutated tentacles began to take shape, as if they were trying to break free from Grimm's will and become some kind of independent creature.
Grimm sensed the terrifying condition of his body. His bloodshot eyes shrank, and his heavy and panicked breathing revealed a trace of fear in Grimm's heart.
Grimm would never forget the consequences of losing control of those Life Codes on the experiment table.
"No! Is this … the vibration of the Life Code? No, no … I can't go on like this! "
Grimm's original complacency had now been replaced by a penetrating fear.
If his Life Code were to lose control and expand infinitely, his body would split into countless independent creatures. That would be his final destination, and it would also announce Grimm's complete death.
"I've unknowingly become arrogant like what my mentor mentioned."
Grimm said bitterly in his heart.
In a panic, Grimm looked at his arm that had begun to mutate crazily. He trembled as he controlled a tentacle to roll up a crystal clear green leaf in a hidden part of his arm and put it in his mouth. He then took out a bottle, unscrewed the cap, and poured the liquid inside into his mouth.
This leaf was the high-grade Life Leaf from the fourth floor of the Black Iso Tower, and this bottle of potion was the precious potion that could temporarily increase his vitality.
Following the flow of a powerful life force in his body and the rapid consumption of his physical strength, Grimm's cell strength and activity were constantly rising. His initial estimate was that it should be between 15 to 20 points. Under the constant consumption of physical strength, Grimm would be able to persist for about one-tenth of an hourglass.
Following the increase of his body's activity and the replenishment of a powerful life force, the mutated tentacles in Grimm's skin slowly began to retract, and he returned to his normal human form. The blood that permeated his skin was also swallowed by the retracted tentacles.
At this moment, Grimm finally began to regain his calm under the Ashen Mask. The trace of arrogance in his eyes gradually transformed into wisdom, indifference, and calmness.
A sorcerer-apprentice who could be called a monster by the Sun's Child, a sorcerer-apprentice who could suppress the Ice Age, was indeed not someone an ordinary sorcerer-apprentice could compare with.
Compared to ordinary legendary sorcerer-apprentices, this fifteenth district sorcerer-apprentice was clearly a bit stronger.
He should be able to suppress the school guardian's rank.
At this moment, Grimm's heart trembled, and at the same time, he unexpectedly began to feel excited.
Right!
It was this kind of feeling. The sorcerer continent really did have a few more powerful geniuses.
In this way, he would never be lonely on the road ahead, because there would certainly be many sorcerer-apprentices like him who had already begun to set their sights on the higher peaks in the distance!
…
On the ground, everyone saw the scene of Grimm's body uncontrollably mutating.
At this moment, everyone could only feel their blood run cold and their hair stand on end.
Even Sam, the sorcerer-apprentice who was known by others to have a symbiotic relationship with a monster, felt a chill on his back the moment he saw Grimm's uncontrollably mutating. He was drenched in cold sweat.
Compared to Grimm's strange and frightening appearance, in the end, who was the monster?
…
Slowly, there was a burst of noise in the ice cave, and a black-robed silhouette flew up. That insufferably arrogant attitude had already been completely restrained, and only the bell on his chest was still "jingling, jingling" non-stop.
The corners of this sorcerer-apprentice's mouth were stained with blood, and bits of metallic color undulated on his skin. At the same time, his complexion was also extremely pale, but his eyes carried the same radiance as Grimm's eyes. That was a kind of flame known as excitement!
The two sorcerer-apprentices who had been seriously injured the moment they met looked at each other. In a flash, they unexpectedly found a strange feeling of "understanding".
"Good! Very good! After so many years, I finally see another me. I take back all the arrogant words I just said. Sorcerer-Apprentice of the 12th district, may I know your name? "
Hill Woods unexpectedly said this. After restraining his arrogance, he calmly and attentively looked at Grimm.
It seemed that the so-called arrogance was nothing more than loneliness when there was no opponent, nothing more.
Since he was able to have this kind of power, it showed that this sorcerer-apprentice named Hill Woods was a human with extremely high intelligence. He was absolutely not some innately powerful creature from another world who was ignorant, fearless, and senseless with arrogance.
Perhaps, Hill Woods was not like this several decades ago.
However, after several decades, Hill Woods could no longer find a sorcerer-apprentice who could rival him in the 15th district. All the sorcerer-apprentices avoided him with fearful gazes. When he could no longer find a sorcerer-apprentice who could fight and converse with him as an equal in that small world, just like the children on the cruise ship who called Lafite and the others "Heavenly Kings", a kind of arrogant and proud emotion began to slowly grow in him.
After several decades like this, Hill Woods had become what he was today, already looking down on everyone.
Only now, when he truly found an opponent who was at the same level or even stronger, only when he saw a more distant and vaster world, did Hill Woods' heart of fear from his past memories arise, and he restrained his ignorant arrogance. Only then would he recall his previous self who constantly struggled, the self who stayed up all night to study sorcery knowledge in order to climb to a higher peak.
It could be said that …
At this moment, Hill Woods had truly come back to life!
From a certain point of view, Grimm was fortunate. Because he did not have enough time, although Grimm lived each day with incomparable hardships, his life was incomparably fulfilling.
It was precisely because of this fullness that Grimm did not become as arrogant as Hill Woods. He did not even have the time to feel that kind of loneliness and solitude.
Otherwise, if Grimm was unable to see the towering mountain peaks in the distance and had to painstakingly endure for several decades before he could participate in the Holy Tower Tryouts, would Grimm, who was already regarded as a legend by many sorcerer-apprentices, lose control of his own reason and become as arrogant and conceited as Hill Woods?
Grimm did not know. Because Grimm was a lucky person, Grimm experienced the fullness and happiness of gradually approaching the peak each day.
Grimm looked at the calm Hill Woods, looked at this sorcerer-apprentice "senior", and replied in a low voice, "Grimm."
The greatest respect for a bosom friend was to go all out in battle!
The vitality enhancing potion and the high-grade Life Leaf only had one-tenth of an hourglass' time!
Without hesitation, Grimm urged his magic. The Nine-Headed Snake Greatsword was filled with the power of thunder and spatial distortion. These were the two powers that Grimm found the most effective in restraining sound wave sorcery based on some superficial knowledge of ultrasonic positioning sorcery.
Feeling the effects of the high-grade Life Leaf and the vitality enhancing potion in his mouth, Grimm made his move.
His body turned into a blur, and in the next moment, Grimm appeared in front of Hill Woods. The Nine-Headed Snake Greatsword came into contact with that dagger, and once again, there was an ear-piercing hum. Grimm's body, under the power of spatial distortion and the power of thunder, in addition to his explosively increased vitality, only paused for a moment before he resisted the sound wave attack. Hill Woods' body, however, once again fell toward the glacier with a "whoosh."
A formless sound wave spread out from his back, and the glacier beneath him shattered. Hill Woods was once again "embedded" into it.
Grimm unexpectedly didn't care, and his body once again turned into a blur as he rushed into the ice cave. After intense mana fluctuations in the half of the iceberg, a "boom" sounded, and Grimm once again chased after Hill Woods and flew out from the other side of the iceberg.
Countless fluctuations in the sky, and the sound of metal colliding rang out incessantly!
At this time, a muffled sound suddenly came from within the half of the iceberg, and countless ice shards loudly exploded. The Greedy Flame Giant and the metal monster roared as they collided, and the berserk fluctuations actually shattered the remaining half of the iceberg into countless fragments.
That metal monster also used sound wave sorcery, and the mouth on its chest, one on top and one on the bottom, was unexpectedly like a gong. Its eight slender spider-like legs were no less than seven to eight meters long, and they carried the fluctuations of eight different attributes. The body in the middle had only a big mouth, and no other facial features.
The Greedy Flame Giant had been consciously devoured by Grimm's soul, and its body was already as large as four meters. Its growth during the newborn stage was comparatively easier, and that was why it had grown so quickly.
At the same time, the Greedy Flame Giant's skin was covered in a layer of mixed water and lightning armor, and the black flames inside it were also formless elements. Under the sword of the mixed water and lightning elements, it unexpectedly formed an absolute suppression on the metal monster.
But even so, it was difficult to determine the victor between the two element-activated monsters in a short time.
But …
When a sinister-looking blood-colored infant holding a swarthy black rock appeared behind the Greedy Flame Giant, the metal monster could only barely stall for time.
The sky continuously fluctuated violently.
"Gravity!"
Grimm shouted loudly, and the suppressed and defeated Hill Woods was once again sucked back. After rapidly chanting an incantation, a water pillar flashed, and at the same time, a lightning flower burst forth. It was closely followed by an obscure space force sneak attack.
Grimm also fiercely stamped his feet in midair, and the Nine-Headed Snake Greatsword full of lightning and the power of spatial distortion slashed forward. The berserk power even caused the surrounding space to tremble!
Blood flowed from the corner of Hill Woods' mouth, and his face was unnaturally flushed. He looked at the terrifying silhouette in the sky, and put his palms together. "Bang!" A formless sound wave dispersed the water pillar.
After the invisible space ripple sneak attack was dispersed, Hill Woods fiercely raised his head, and emitted a high-frequency resonance sound wave from his mouth.
Eh?
Grimm's expression changed, and he evaded the sound wave with a spatial distortion. As for the sound wave that Hill Woods put his palms together and dispersed in all directions, he didn't pay much attention to it. He brandished his greatsword and acted as if nothing had happened.
The Tailbone Dagger appeared in his hand, and an inextinguishable flame revolved around it. Grimm roared, "Repulsion!"
Whoosh!
An ear-piercing ripple cut through the sky, and the Tailbone Dagger, burning with an inextinguishable flame, appeared in front of Hill Woods in the next moment. Ding! Although it was blocked by a layer of metalized skin, the terrifying power of the Tailbone Dagger caused Hill Woods to lose control of his body and fall back dozens of meters.
"Hu …"
A wisp of inextinguishable flame circulated on the metalized skin. Hill Woods only glanced at the nature of the inextinguishable flame, and the flames were dispersed with a snap of his fingers.
Suddenly, the space above Hill Woods' head distorted again, and Grimm's Nine-Headed Snake Greatsword descended. Hill Woods' face turned unnaturally red, and a trace of paleness appeared on his face. His right hand, which was holding the dagger, trembled slightly, but he had no choice but to meet the attack again.
"Boom!"
Hill Woods fell from the sky.
"Whoosh …"
The three Fire Bat Spells chased after Hill Woods. Boom! Boom! Boom! A large sea of fire erupted from the ground and engulfed Hill Woods' figure.
In the sky, under the Ashen Mask, Grimm panted slightly.
After forcibly holding his breath, Grimm's expression turned solemn, and he suddenly spread out his two arms. One was Scarlet Flame, and the other was Torrent. Under Grimm's incomparably careful and exquisite control, they split into strands of elemental snakes that gradually gathered together!
On the distant ground and on the stone pillars, Millie, Mina, Sam, Kyrie, Roga, Bionna, Leona, and Yates were all completely petrified. They couldn't believe their eyes as they looked up at the distant battle. At this very moment, it seemed as if Grimm was about to use some powerful witchcraft!
Sun's Child looked at the 15th District student, whom she had called a monster, actually being suppressed by the student she had called her "fated enemy." Her body was only left with instinctive trembling and despair.
At this moment, a feeling of ignorance unexpectedly appeared in the heart of this once arrogant and proud student.
