With ease and familiarity, Claytia, who had arrived at the 14th district's stone pillar forest, pointed out to Grimm the direction of a Sorcerer-Apprentice with an imprint value of around 400.
A moment later.
Eh?
Claytia was bewildered. "That's not right. The imprint fluctuations I sensed were clearly in the vicinity. How could there be no one? Could it be a Sorcerer-Apprentice adept at concealment? "
Under the Ashen Mask, Grimm sneered. Raising the battle-ax in his hand, his figure flashed and he rushed toward an empty space a hundred meters away. The battle-ax fell.
* Boom! *
The earth shook and a large cloud of dust filled the air. Grimm frowned as he retrieved the battle-ax from the huge pit he had created. His eyes looked at the bloodstain that had appeared out of thin air a dozen meters away.
"Sure enough, this battle-ax isn't easy to use," Grimm thought to himself.
The air around the bloodstain that had appeared out of thin air gradually warped and changed. A color-changing lizard about five meters long appeared. At the same time, a severed tail was bouncing on the empty ground, no longer able to maintain its invisibility and transparency.
The color-changing lizard slowly opened its mouth. A naked female Sorcerer-Apprentice with a somewhat purple complexion drilled out of its throat. Her gaze was somewhat aghast as she looked at Grimm under the Ashen Mask and Claytia who was even further away. After swallowing her saliva, she said in a low, hoarse voice, "The 12th district's expert …"
It was very obvious that this Sorcerer-Apprentice had also deduced from Claytia that Grimm was an expert who had come from another district.
However, Grimm was unwilling to be entangled with this Sorcerer-Apprentice and directly asked, "I want to know the information on the strongest expert in your district."
"If you are willing to sign a non-aggression contract with me, I will give you his information …"
His?
Grimm laughed coldly and indifferently said, "No need. I just want to confirm how many legendary Sorcerer-Apprentices there are in this district, that's all."
In the next moment, Grimm turned into a blur and chopped down with the battle-ax from high above.
Of course, it wasn't that Grimm didn't want to know this legendary Sorcerer-Apprentice's information. It was just that generally speaking, which Sorcerer-Apprentice would display his own sorcery methods for others to observe? Therefore, what this Sorcerer-Apprentice said was very likely just some nonsense about his identity and nothing more.
…
Six hourglasses later.
There were a lot more experts in this area compared to the previous two areas. Moreover, because of the passage of time, the number of points accumulated by the remaining students had also increased. Grimm followed Claytia's guidance and incessantly "cleared" the area. He frowned and said, "Strange. This area clearly has a legendary rank student. Why are there still so many powerful students fearlessly collecting marks and points? Don't tell me that guy is like Hill Woods, directly crossing over and leaving? "
Claytia was startled when she heard Grimm's guess. She hurriedly shook her head and said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Pausing, Claytia's red lips lightly nibbled on her fingertips. With a seductive movement, she pondered and said, "Those top-notch legendary Sorcerer-Apprentices, only with their own innate talent, extremely high intelligence, and under the whole-hearted guidance of a high-ranked Sorcerer, will only appear one or two in a hundred years. And according to your description of a Sorcerer-Apprentice like Hill Woods, perhaps not even one will appear in a camp for several Holy Tower Tryouts. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for another one to appear in this 14th District …"
Speaking up to this point, Claytia's face suddenly flushed red. Looking at Grimm, she awkwardly said, "Forget it, pretend I didn't say anything. It was that Hill Woods's luck that was bad, encountering your 'nightmarish' Sorcerer-Apprentice."
Grimm glanced at Claytia and unhurriedly said, "It seems that the legendary Sorcerer-Apprentice in this district is a bit problematic. Let's find a low-level Sorcerer-Apprentice to discuss and investigate."
After a moment, Grimm looked at the already empty obelisks and shook his head. Claytia's mocking laughter sounded behind him, "Haha, Sir Grimm, if you go and ask those low-level Sorcerer-Apprentices with this kind of imposing manner, you will scare them away before you even reach them. Moreover, you are unwilling to let go of those Sorcerer-Apprentices who have a lot of points. How can there be any results? Therefore, let me do it. "
Under the Ashen Mask, Grimm helplessly curled his lips and silently nodded his head.
After a moment, this Desperator, who possessed the title of Great Charm during the Newcomer Trial, flew back to Grimm's side and proudly said, "Done."
After a pause, Claytia said, "There is indeed a legendary Sorcerer-Apprentice in this area. His name is Earth Heart Wicky. It is said that his strength is extremely formidable, but because he is not proficient in abnormal movement speed, he basically has no intention of competing for the peak of the Holy Tower Tryouts. Right now, he is at the very center of the forest of obelisks in this 14th District. Are we still going or not? "
"Humph! I have already said that I will eliminate all Sorcerer-Apprentices who pose a threat, let alone this kind of legendary Sorcerer-Apprentice? Even if … he keeps on saying that he has no interest in the peak reward! "Grimm stamped his feet, and his figure flew towards the center of the obelisks forest without stopping.
Claytia listened to Grimm's "extreme" words and silently said, "Do you really have to go to such extremes when doing things? With your current points, I'm afraid it is simply impossible for any Sorcerer-Apprentice in this camp to surpass you, right? "
Sigh …
In the previous moment, Claytia still had a "sorrowful" expression, but in the next moment, a trace of a "wicked" smile appeared at the corner of Claytia's mouth, as if a monster hidden under this alluring and charming skin had revealed itself. She gloomily said, "Humph humph, but … I like it! Come to think of it, this is also one of the reasons why you are so powerful, right? "
As her imagination ran wild, Claytia followed Grimm and flew towards the center of the 14th District.
After half an hourglass of time.
* Boom! *
Grimm's two feet steadily landed on top of a stone pillar that was over 30 meters tall and had a diameter of 5 meters. As the center of the 14th District, basically all the obelisks here were tall and thick like this. Of course, there were also a few sporadic and strange obelisks interspersed in the gaps between these tall and thick obelisks.
Under the Ashen Mask, Grimm's eyes overlooked the Sorcerer-Apprentice on the ground a hundred meters away. That Sorcerer-Apprentice's granite-like body was only covered with leather pants. His ears were very long, his cheekbones bulged, and his chin carried a stiff stubble. His wise, sharp eyes carried a trace of heaviness and steadiness, and his black hair was adorned with a golden crown. He just sat quietly on the ground like that.
After sensing Grimm's gaze, this person slowly stood up. His body was far more sturdy than Grimm's, and a warhammer that was no less than his own body was exposed from under this Sorcerer-Apprentice's buttocks. However, this Sorcerer-Apprentice casually picked it up, and his frightening strength unexpectedly reached the stage of lifting something heavy as if it were light.
This Sorcerer-Apprentice calmly said, "Strong person from another district, you should leave. I don't want to make a move against you because this is a meaningless struggle. "
Grimm was unmoved and indifferently said, "Earth Heart Wicky, is it? As such a powerful Sorcerer-Apprentice, you only have 2000 points at this time. It seems that you indeed don't have the heart to fight for the peak rewards. "
This Sorcerer-Apprentice called Wicky heard Grimm's words and was about to calmly nod his head. However, Grimm smiled and coldly said, "However … in this time's Holy Tower Tryouts, I must confirm that I can seize the peak rewards! Although you don't have the heart to fight for the peak, I don't want your points to fall into the hands of strong people from other districts. Therefore … you'd better leave the Holy Tower Tryouts secret plane! "
The pupils of Wicky's golden eyes shrunk. He suddenly laughed loudly and disdainfully said, "It seems that I must let you experience my strength before we can have a fair conversation. You think I don't have the strength to fight for it? Humph, I just know that with my slow rate of gathering points, no matter how hard I try, I can't compare to you guys who are like fleas, that's all! "
With a "whoosh" sound, Grimm turned into an afterimage. In the next moment, he appeared above Wicky's head, and the battle-axe descended!
* Boom! *
Without moving from his original position, Wicky's battle-hammer, which was even larger than Grimm's body, met the attack head-on. After an ear-piercing ripple mark appeared in the air, Wicky's expression changed. The skin on his body turned into black granite with "peng, peng, peng" sounds. His feet did not move in the slightest. In the air, however, Grimm's eyes under the Ashen Mask burst open. Because he had nowhere to borrow strength from in the air, he retreated more than ten meters.
This kind of strength and that strange nature of relaying strength, was actually some kind of miraculous energy drawn from the ground under his feet?
In terms of physical strength alone, even if this Sorcerer-Apprentice was slightly inferior to Grimm, it was enough to rely on other advantages to completely wipe out Grimm's power suppression.
However, if he allowed his feet to leave the ground …
In the air, Grimm's heart stirred. He extended a hand toward Wicky and shouted, "Gravity!"
Eh?
A light cry came from the mouth of that black granite Sorcerer-Apprentice, followed by an oppressive roar, "Gravity!"
With a "kacha" sound, crystalline granules actually condensed from the black granite. Wicky did not move in the slightest, but instead, the airborne Grimm was "sucked" over by Wicky. A giant hammer smashed toward Grimm!
His pupils constricting, Grimm's body twisted and appeared tens of meters away. Under the stimulation of his magic, a torrent of water suddenly appeared. However, it was easily intercepted by a giant black stone palm. Even the spreading power of thunder seemed to be unaffected.
* Boom! Boom! *
Grimm consecutively cast two Fire Bat spells. After both were blocked by the opponent's black granite crystal-like skin armor with an exaggerated defense, Grimm's expression changed slightly.
This Sorcerer-Apprentice's defense was a little too exaggerated!
This kind of situation was extremely similar to when Grimm was wearing the Ashen Mask during the Newbie Trial. His opponent was simply able to ignore ordinary spells!
To deal with this person, Grimm immediately thought of Hill Wood.
If it was him, he would definitely be able to quickly settle the battle due to the restraining spell. Even Ice Age Mille would have a considerable advantage. As for Althio, it would be difficult to say whether he would be able to deal with this Sorcerer-Apprentice.
Grimm had already sensed through some indescribable connection between the Repulsive and Attractive Forces spell and the veins of the earth. The opponent should be able to draw support from some mysterious energy in the depths of the earth to cause a resonance, thereby achieving such an exaggerated defense and power. And if Grimm was able to cooperate with the water-earth dual ability Roga, and Roga could use that quagmire spell …
Humph!
Grimm's Ashen Mask snorted coldly. To deal with this Sorcerer-Apprentice, apart from the Stigmata Friendship Key, he could only use the powerful spell, Fire Blast, to try and destroy the opponent's defense in one go.
However, this could only be done under the premise that the opponent was unable to move and dodge the Fire Blast spell.
Eh? No!
If the opponent were to leave the ground, he would lose that strange spell that drew support from the surrounding earth. Even if the Fire Blast missed, it would not matter …
