Grimm slowly flew to the Celestial Cordillera that was floating high in the sky.
The Celestial Capital Mountain Range was not a single giant mountain, but was formed by four relatively low mountain peaks surrounding a towering and majestic giant peak, like a myriad of stars surrounding the moon.
At the top of the four relatively short black mountains were four white and beautiful garden castles, while the towering mountain in the middle was a giant tower. It gave off the feeling of a Wizard Tower prototype, and it also had a hint of pressure, as if it was cold at the top.
Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!
While Grimm was deep in thought, several powerful green rays shot out from the bottom of the valley, each with an attack power of over 200 degrees. Soon after, a black-robed Sorcerer-Apprentice stepped on a burning cloud and flew up from the valley in a somewhat sorry state. He dodged left and right to avoid these green rays.
Boom!
Suddenly, after a violent explosion at the bottom of the Celestial Cordillera's valley, the violent fire elements and the power of thunder scattered in all directions, but were suppressed by the force of nature into a narrow space, probably the defensive measures of the Celestial Cordillera itself.
The black-robed sorcerer-apprentice looked at the violent explosion below the valley, but his expression did not relax in the slightest. Instead, a trace of fear leaked out from the depths of his eyes. This Sorcerer-Apprentice suddenly spread out his arms and began to rapidly chant a spell. A moment later, a pure wave of fire element appeared.
The two huge flame rings seemed to be formed by some kind of extremely concentrated fire element. Many twisting and moving runes floated out of his sleeves and attached to the two flame rings.
Whoosh …
After this Sorcerer-Apprentice let out a slight sigh of relief, a black chain suddenly sprang out from the fiery cloud under his feet. It was extremely nimble and wrapped around this Sorcerer-Apprentice's leg.
"No!"
This Sorcerer-Apprentice only had enough time to let out a cry of alarm before his body, along with the ring of flames beside him, fell into the valley with a "swoosh" sound with a long echo.
Rumble, rumble!
The sounds of explosions continued to ring out from below the valley. It seemed that an even more intense battle was taking place. Under the Ashen Mask, Grimm sensed the fluctuations of the battle between the two sorcerer-apprentices. His heart trembled slightly, and his eyes revealed a trace of contemplation.
It seemed that these two sorcerer-apprentices had been fighting for quite some time.
However, was the reason for the battle between these two sorcerer-apprentices arranged by the Holy Tower of Seven Rings, or was it a battle of their own accord?
Without getting too close, Grimm floated in the sky, waiting for the battle to end. It was very obvious from the continuous energy fluctuations that the black-robed Sorcerer-Apprentice was in a relatively weak position. Unless he had an even stronger trump card, his defeat was only a matter of time.
A quarter of an hourglass later.
Following the flash of a violent thunderbolt, the black-robed sorcerer-apprentice once again appeared in the sky, gasping for breath. He said unwillingly, "This time, I admit defeat. Great Peak is yours. You can continue next month!"
Subsequently, this Sorcerer-Apprentice glanced at Grimm. His deathly pale face unexpectedly sneered at Grimm, as if it was some kind of provocation. Subsequently, he flew directly to the second highest peak of the five peaks.
Grimm also looked coldly at this black-robed sorcerer-apprentice, but in his heart, he was somewhat astonished.
It was actually just to fight over a residence?
However, from what he knew from that Sorcerer's mouth, this residence on Celestial Cordillera was nothing more than a temporary arrangement for a peak sorcerer-apprentice before obtaining a world-core fragment. After obtaining a world-core fragment, a sorcerer-apprentice would then return to the Sorcerer World's Rank 1 Demon-Hunter Sorcerer castle within the Holy Tower of Seven Rings' defensive barrier, becoming a sorcerer no different from other Demon-Hunter Sorcerers.
In that case, what was there to fight over for this temporary residence?
* Hua Hua La La … *
It was not the sound of flowing water, but rather the crisp and ear-piercing sound of metal chains vibrating and rubbing together. Grimm awoke from his contemplation and looked down the valley.
He saw a female sorcerer-apprentice with her whole body bound in black metal chains slowly float up. At this very moment, her body seemed to have turned into metal iron because of these chains.
At first glance, one would think that a metal flying object had flown up.
It was unknown how long the pitch-black chains were, but each ring was the size of an infant's fist. One end was wrapped in the inner layer of a lump of metal, while the other end seemed to be a hybrid life of flesh and metal. It was as nimble as a snake's head, spiraling around this lump of metal and wandering around. Traces of a black aura drifted indeterminately, but it was not dark elemental energy.
Under the Ashen Mask, Grimm's eyes slightly narrowed, his expression attentively staring at that black metal chain.
This feeling …
Unexpectedly, there was a strange feeling similar to the first time he saw the Holy Tower of Seven Rings. It was the feeling of a hybrid life of metal and flesh, but it lacked the vast, majestic, ocean-like energy infusion of the Holy Tower of Seven Rings.
Was this high-level knowledge formed from the combination of mechanics and dark sorcerers' chimeras?
"Hm? This year's peak dark sorcerer-apprentices from the 11th to 15th districts have finally arrived? " The female sorcerer-apprentice wrapped in a lump of metal looked towards Grimm, but her voice did not have any fluctuations of emotion. It was ice- cold, somewhat giving off the feeling of a Secluded Spring's eldest apprentice sister.
Grimm's heart stirred. This sorcerer-apprentice, presumably, was the peak sorcerer-apprentice from the chaotic camp from the 21st to the 28th districts?
The black-robed sorcerer-apprentice who had just left should be the peak sorcerer-apprentice from the 1st to the 5th district's dark sorcerer camp.
As for bright sorcerers?
In a one-on-one battle, a low-level dark sorcerer was much stronger than a bright sorcerer of the same level. The same was true for peak sorcerer-apprentices. This was caused by the difference in cultivation environments. Grimm also did not think that bright sorcerers would have the mind to fight with dark sorcerers for a temporary residence.
Of course, after becoming a stigmata sorcerer, there would no longer be any difference between bright and dark sorcerers.
Looking at the deepest parts of Grimm's heart, in fact, Grimm was also suitable to become a bright sorcerer or an arcane sorcerer.
"12th district's Black Isotta Academy, Grimm." Grimm's voice was equally cold. The metal armor and the Ashen Mask covered his body and face. He had the appearance of a tall and sturdy, overbearing, and mysterious Dark Refinery Sorcerer.
The female sorcerer-apprentice's apathetic and ice-cold eyes sized up Grimm from head to toe.
"Not bad. You seem to be much stronger than that Hellscream from the 4th district. How about it? Do you have the guts to try and seize the big peak's residence from my hands? " The female sorcerer-apprentice's voice at this moment seemed to have some interest. She coldly said, "I am Nairo from the 22nd district's Spirit Tower."
Guts?
Grimm did not even speak. The battle between dark sorcerers would never be like the battle between bright sorcerers. There was no extra, foolish preparation time, so much so that there was basically no such thing as admitting defeat.
If one decided to start a battle and could not escape after defeat, it was death!
* Xiu! *
Grimm's body transformed into an afterimage. A majestic flame wave swept out, pressing toward that metal chain ball emitting a surging black aura.
"This feeling …" Nairo's eyes slightly brightened within the metal chain ball.
With a loud bang, the scarlet sun and the darkness collided. Traces of erratic black silk aura and the scarlet flame wave emitted "squeak, squeak" sounds of mutual collision and impact.
"Ha!"
Grimm's Tailbone dagger carried the Inextinguishable Flame and stabbed toward Nairo. At the same time, a stream of water appeared in his other hand, accompanied by a powerful repulsive force, flashed and disappeared.
Ding!
The metal chain snakehead accurately blocked Grimm's Tailbone dagger. The black silk aura and the Inextinguishable Flame intertwined, emitting muffled "puff, puff" sounds and "squeak, squeak" sounds of impact.
Huh?
All of a sudden, Grimm only felt a powerful energy fluctuation emitting from Nairo's body in the center of the metal chain ball. After a formless fluctuation, with a "buzz" in his ears, Grimm was pushed more than 20 meters away.
Stopping his body, Grimm fixed his eyes and took a look. At this moment, the innumerable intersecting chains seemed to have become active, gradually forming a spherical "cage" with a diameter of more than 30 meters, protecting Nairo within. Indistinctly, from the gaps of the intersecting chains, Grimm saw Nairo's spotlessly white body without a single thread of clothing, only bursts of magical power revolving and surging around it.
Grimm's Torrent Spell was completely dispersed. This wasn't even Nairo's intention. Grimm didn't even have time to activate the power of thunder.
After Grimm's brows wrinkled, his eyes under the Ashen Mask didn't have any change. With a wave of one hand, a powerful gravitational force flowed over and sucked the chain "snakehead" into his hand. A gloomy glint flashed in his eyes, preparing to use the conductive properties of metal to display the power of thunder or his own formidable strength …
However, in the split second when Grimm's palm touched the chain, Grimm's body trembled!
"Repulsion!" Grimm bellowed!
With a "xiu" sound, the huge iron cage surrounding Nairo was bounced off by Grimm. At this time, the feeling of his magical power being continuously sucked out of Grimm's body stopped. The palm that touched the chain even slightly trembled.
Space distorted, and Grimm appeared at the other end of the chain cage, dodging the chain snakehead's wrapping attack once again.
The Bloodlust Doll appeared on Grimm's shoulder, holding the radioactive stone and laughing in a low voice. At the same time, a small black flame appeared in Grimm's hand, but it wasn't activated.
Grimm seemed to be hesitating.
Within the chain cage, Nairo didn't seem to care in the slightest that she was completely naked. Looking at the motionless Grimm, she used an indifferent voice to ask, "Why did you stop?"
Grimm narrowed his eyes and asked, "What advantages does the tower on the Great Metropolis Peak have compared to the castle on the four mountain peaks?"
"Advantages? Look at it even higher. My mentor said that occupying the Great Metropolis Peak of the Celestial Mountains is the tradition of our Chaos Faction's previous Apex Sorcerer-Apprentices. This is because we are the strongest of the five factions of the Holy Tower of Seven Rings! " Nairo suddenly used a face full of adoration and longing to replace her previous indifference, as if her mentor was her everything in her spiritual world.
Reputation, huh …
After Grimm glanced at Nairo, he didn't say anything. He didn't even go and compete with that Dark Sorcerer-Apprentice from the fourth district, Yupao, for the Second Metropolis Peak and directly flew towards the Third Metropolis Peak.
Halfway there, Grimm dispersed the Bloodlust Doll.
It seemed that Grimm had completely lost the mood to waste time fighting and killing because of these frivolous reputation issues.
