* Whoosh! Whoosh! *
In the dusky sky, a pale golden radiance had just disappeared into the horizon like a meteorite. In the next moment, a blazing sun, with a grand and unstoppable momentum, "pushed forward and chased after" it, like a giant underwater beast chasing some snack between its teeth.
The scattered students of the 12th District couldn't help but look up, their mouths agape and eyes full of horror, until the dazzling radiance completely disappeared from their sight.
Millie and Mina stopped.
"Sister, this is …" Mina seemed to have thought of something, her face unsightly as she felt that familiar fluctuation and inexplicable attraction.
Millie's indifferent and weak face nodded slightly, and she said bitterly, "This … is the true path of the ancient sorcerers that father spoke of. Exploring the mysteries and truths, the path of the powerful ancient sorcerers who wear the moon and stars, cut down thorns, eat wind and dew, and unveil everything in front of them! "
Mina lowered her head and murmured sorrowfully, "What is the Body of Flame to you?"
Millie touched her sister's fiery red hair. She had been spoiled by her father and had been arrogant and domineering since she was a child. She said softly, "For him, who is imitating the ancient sorcerer's path, the so-called talent … is just a footprint to a higher peak, a cornerstone of the wizard tower, and a beautiful memory in the endless river of life."
In just a moment, the two lights completely disappeared in front of Millie and Mina's eyes.
At this moment, it was as if the two of them had become the foil of a period of time, a region, setting off the brilliance of the protagonist.
Under her sister's comfort, Mina raised her head and struggled to smile, "Hehe, Ashen Mask Grimm, worthy of being the student that I, the Sun's Child, have taken a liking to. Sure enough … my vision is the most correct! It's just that fate arranged for me to meet you later than that Black Iso Tower's Lafite … "
Millie smiled lightly and shook her head.
I'm afraid that without father's care and the Body of Flame, you would no longer be the Sun's Child.
All of this was a foregone conclusion that existed objectively. It was not fate.
…
At the same time, in the sky above the central stone pillar of the Holy Tower tryout area of the Sorcerer Continent, following an invisible space ripple, a creature from another world appeared in each secret area.
These creatures actually had the strength of the academy's guardians!
"Plunder ten thousand points and survive until the end of the competition stage. You will end your miserable fate and obtain freedom and a new life." A short voice passed through their souls and was transmitted into the souls of every Otherworld Being.
Freedom …
New students …
All the creatures from the other world were trembling, and their eyes were bursting with endless desire. One by one, they rushed toward any sorcerer-apprentice they could sense. On their foreheads was the mark of a pirate's skull.
…
After flying for an hourglass, the two streaks of light crossed the 12th district and arrived at the 13th district.
Under the Ashen Mask, Grimm was holding a magic stone to replenish his magic power while gritting his teeth. "This Wings of Light is indeed incomparably mysterious. If I didn't constantly use the power of space to twist and flicker, I wouldn't even be able to keep up with it. And it seems like there are other techniques … "
Hmph!
Although Grimm knew that his chances of catching up to the other party and forcing him to leave the mystic realm were slim, since he had already swept through the five regions and no longer had any enemies, Grimm might as well give it a try.
Xiu! Xiu!
Wherever Grimm passed, the sorcerer-apprentices in the vicinity would raise their heads in amazement and look up until Grimm rapidly disappeared into the horizon. As for the Wings of Light, Yerko Dar, he was automatically ignored by everyone.
After Grimm used two hourglasses of time to pass through the 13th and 14th districts, Grimm chased Yerko Dar to the 11th district.
At this moment, even Grimm was slightly tired. Yerko Dar's speed in front of him was also clearly not as fast as before. However, because there was very little time left until the Holy Tower Tryouts, there were only a few hourglasses left. Grimm didn't have any more opportunities.
Hm?
Suddenly, Grimm's gaze shifted and was attracted by the obvious traces of a large-scale battle on the ground. He finally looked at Yerko Dar, who was still fleeing unceasingly in the air. After a helpless sigh, he gave up the chase and rushed toward the area on the ground where the aftermath of the battle had passed.
"Ah! It's that foreign sorcerer-apprentice's target! "A sorcerer-apprentice on the ground shouted the moment he saw Grimm.
At the same time, a few sorcerer-apprentices who were in a sorry state unexpectedly crushed the badges in their hands without the slightest hesitation. The number of imprints on Grimm's forehead rapidly increased.
Grimm, however, remained unmoved. After slightly narrowing his eyes, he directly rushed toward a corpse at the center of a huge pit with a diameter of seven to eight meters.
After Grimm landed, apart from those who had directly left the secret plane, the sorcerer-apprentices who had gathered in the surroundings in a sorry state scattered in all directions in fright. Grimm, however, didn't pay attention to this. He only locked his gaze on this female foreign world creature with a bird's head and a human's body. She was only about 1.5 meters tall.
Her entire body was covered in green steel feathers, and there were a few special garland accessories on her claws. Obviously, this was a foreign world creature with intelligence.
Raising his head, Grimm once again swept his eyes over the traces of battle around him. He muttered, "Come to think of it, this was the trap that the 11th district's sorcerer-apprentice had previously prepared for me, right? However, it's very obvious that after this creature had unintentionally barged in, a great battle broke all those traps, and then I flew back. "
"If that's the case, then it would explain why those sorcerer-apprentices just now seemed to recognize my appearance and were all so afraid." Grimm gradually guessed the course of events.
Lowering his head, Grimm once again looked at this foreign world creature's corpse.
"But, what's the matter with this foreign world creature? Since it's the Holy Tower Tryouts, and moreover, this secret plane has already held who knows how many Holy Tower Tryouts, it's basically impossible for foreign world creatures to barge in. So … it's very likely that the Holy Tower Tryouts were specially arranged. "
Frowning, Grimm guessed, "Could it be that this is a gift that the Holy Tower has specially prepared for sorcerer-apprentices, allowing them to participate in the tryouts to study this kind of foreign world creature?"
"The Holy Tower Tryouts actually have this kind of reward!" Grimm's eyes lit up. Unexpectedly, he picked up this foreign world creature's corpse and quickly flew toward the 12th district.
Hopefully, the 12th district's reward hasn't been claimed yet!
At this moment, Grimm's way of thinking had already gradually begun to deviate from that of ordinary sorcerer-apprentices. To other sorcerer-apprentices, this foreign world creature was tantamount to a disaster, but in Grimm's eyes, it had become a "reward" for those high and mighty Holy Towers.
Filled with incomparable excitement, Grimm rushed toward the 12th district.
There wasn't much time left. Grimm wasn't sure if he could still make it in time to claim this special reward, and he also didn't know if this reward could be claimed a second time.
Three hourglasses later.
Grimm looked at the foreign world creature in front of him that was currently chasing after the Winter Ice Soul Bethany, and said with slight disappointment, "The rewards are all the same?"
However, after all, it's still a foreign world creature. Maybe Senior Brother Varro will be willing to pay a high price for it.
With this thought in mind, Grimm unhesitatingly rushed toward the foreign world creature. The pupils of the Winter Ice Soul Bethany, whose body was like a ball, shrank, and the hand that held the thick chain of the meteor hammer slightly trembled.
…
One hourglass later.
Hu …
Grimm waved his hand, dispersing the Greedy Flame Giant and the Blood Terror Doll. Slightly gasping for breath, he said, "Although its methods are a lot less than a legendary sorcerer-apprentice's, its coarse skin and thick flesh combined with its terrifying strength actually suppressed me. However … it seems that the Ashen Mask's defensive cover has been upgraded when it encountered this foreign world creature. Although this upgrade is of little significance to me now, what's going on? And … after killing this foreign world creature, I actually obtained more than 4,500 points? "
"This kind of omnidirectional defensive cover of the Ashen Mask seems to have some special alchemy knowledge." Grimm said with a frown.
(This early trap is about to be solved. Perhaps many people didn't notice that the defensive cover has a bit of a "protruding" function. It doesn't have any energy attribute characteristics and can defend in all directions.)
It just so happened that he still had to return to the Black Iso Tower in a low-key manner to complete those two tasks.
One of them was to obtain the corresponding alchemy knowledge of this Ashen Mask.
However, now he had to think carefully about the price he was willing to pay for this knowledge. Sorcerers had always viewed knowledge as one of the most valuable things. It was absolutely impossible to obtain without paying a corresponding price.
However, the refining knowledge of the Ashen Mask was also very important to him. After all, this was the original embryonic form of the Confrontation of Truth.
…
Half an hourglass later.
Grimm, who was currently studying his "spoils of war" with his head lowered, suddenly trembled. Some kind of soul fluctuation was faintly transmitted from the stone pillar beside him to Grimm's soul.
"All sorcerer-apprentices participating in the Holy Tower Qualification Battle. Apart from the 200 sorcerer-apprentices with the highest points who will obtain the qualifications to become reserve Demon-Hunters, all the Holy Towers will also provide a peak reward for each camp's prospective sorcerer-apprentice. And this peak reward is … the absolute right to advance to an official sorcerer! Children of the sorcerer world, on the competition stage are the powerful foreign world creatures you saw earlier. Kill them and you will obtain all the points you plundered from them. This will be your last chance to fight for the peak reward. The future and hope of the sorcerer world rests on your shoulders. Go and fight. You only need to stand at the top of any stone pillar and carry out a one hundred and fifty degree attack, and you will be transported to the competition stage! "
In the huge crater created by the Fire Blast spell, Grimm slowly raised his head. His eyes burned with a dazzling radiance.
The last chance to fight for the peak qualification?
These foreign world creatures were actually not the rewards set up for the Holy Tower Qualification Battle?
Then …
Almost without hesitation, Grimm lifted the two foreign world creature bodies he had obtained and flew to the high platform at the top of the stone pillar beside him. His axe fell down.
(The foreign world creature's body is too big. This kind of low-grade, disposable space pocket cannot fit inside.)
