With the Void Fortress as the center, beams of light shone densely in all directions into the dark night sky.
Along with the gasps of surprise from the Void Fortress, two bright light balls gradually flew over from the distant sky, followed by tens of thousands of blurry light spots.
Inside the Void Fortress, Tomb Averer appeared at the top of the Void Fortress Square with the majesty of an advanced life form, looking at them from afar.
There was a pair of cold eyes under the metal helmet, and there were four longswords on her back. Hundreds of dark red energy strips that looked like living zither strings circled around her body, faintly revealing the armor and graceful body underneath.
For a Stigmata Sorcerer, decades of time was just a fleeting moment.
Figures of Bright Sorcerers also gathered around the Void Fortress, while Dark Sorcerers were scattered everywhere. The Fallen Amonros under the command of the Demon-Hunter Sorcerers were ready for battle.
Grimm stood in the sky below the Tomb Averer Stigmata Sorceress, his loose robe fluttering in the wind. However, the rain was blocked by the elemental clouds on the small sorcerer tower in the fortress square.
It was not until the Hearkening Whisperer and the Tomb Segja both returned to the Void Fortress and the hundred-meter tall elemental giant dissipated that the Demon-Hunter Sorcerers who were on standby in the square breathed a sigh of relief.
Those Amonros did not chase after them.
Many expedition Demon-Hunter Sorcerers stopped at the Void Fortress Square. Grimm found Millie among the slightly panicked Demon-Hunter Sorcerers.
At this time, she was not riding on the Ice Phoenix elemental creature. Her sorcerer's robe was messy, and half of her face was covered with thick frost, as if she was suppressing some abnormal state.
Seeing Grimm coming, Millie breathed a sigh of relief, and said with lingering fear, "I almost stayed in this world forever."
Demon-Hunter Sorcerers did not need much consolation, especially Dark Sorcerers who had seen too many life and death situations.
Grimm nodded. Compared to himself, Millie, who had escaped from the Third Battle Command of the Shadow Continent, had obviously experienced more.
Opening his hand, Grimm took out a bottle of potion and said in a deep voice, "You must have been contaminated by the Shadow Continent, but you limited it to half of it. This bottle of potion should help you."
"Thank you."
After Millie took the potion, she thought for a moment and threw an ice cube at Grimm. Inside the ice cube was a fist-sized ball-shaped spider. It was faintly emitting Enigmatic Energy.
"After the Shadow Cataclysm, I found a Shadow Spider specimen on the road. It can also control Enigmatic Power. It's worth studying."
After Grimm accepted the Shadow Spider, a Bright Demon-Hunter Sorcerer flew over and said to Millie, "The medical department can provide treatment services for you. You'll need to pay two Sorcerer Essences."
Millie nodded and bade her farewell. She then followed the witch doctor to the base of the fortress.
Grimm, who was deep in thought under the Mask of Truth, suddenly froze. He cut open the Dimensional Gap, and a vibrating magic staff appeared, emitting a dazzling light. Grimm took it out in astonishment.
Kacha, kacha!
After a series of mechanical sounds, the magic staff melted into liquid like water. Then, a 20-centimeter-tall Dwarf Metal Man appeared, looking up at Grimm.
Grimm clearly remembered this magic staff. It was the reward he received from a Demon-Hunter Sorcerer whom he unintentionally saved when he first arrived in the Shadow World forty years ago.
However, he did not expect this magic staff to undergo such a change. It reminded Grimm of a certain soul sorcery tool, the Soul Case, also known as the Phylactery.
Some sorcerers began to try to use the Soul Case as the ultimate life-saving measure after their research on the soul.
Parasitizing a Soul Slave with the original Soul Seed was a sorcerer's second life. However, it was more convenient than being a slave.
Once a sorcerer died, the original Soul Seed in the Soul Case would awaken and replace the memory of the soul before it was reborn. It would continue to live as a non-fleshy creature, like an elemental or a mechanical puppet.
The Soul Case was like a toddler learning to walk. It opened its eyes and asked in disbelief, "Am I … dead?"
The dwarf raised its head and looked at Grimm's calm eyes under the Mask of Truth. "You're my future friend, aren't you? I gave you the Soul Case? "
Glenn silently shook his head and sighed. "No, it should be that I accidentally saved you once and received this magic staff as a reward. But I didn't expect that you would turn it into a Soul Box. I just did not expect you to die again. "
"Is that so …"
The Dwarf Metal Man thought for a moment and looked around. "The last time I performed the Soul Recombination was when I first entered the Shadow World. Is this the Shadow World?"
"This is forty years after the Sorcerer World's expedition to the Shadow Enigmatic World. This is the critical moment of the Shadow Cataclysm. I think you must have met with an unstoppable danger when you were on a mission," Grimm guessed.
"Ah!"
The Dwarf Metal Man fell to the ground. It could not even walk properly.
Although it had been reborn, it was only the superficial knowledge and the knowledge of the soul. The Dwarf Metal Man was no longer a Demon-Hunter Sorcerer. It could no longer meditate and use magic to manipulate the laws of the world.
"Dark Sorcerer, if you can ensure that I leave this world safely, I will tell you a secret treasure of the Sorcerer World," the Dwarf Metal Man suddenly said to Grimm.
Evidently, the Dwarf Metallic Man sensed danger from the Fortress Square's preparations for battle.
At this moment, it was just another Water Crystal Turtle.
Grimm frowned. "Although there were some misunderstandings before, what I want to say is that your existence is my reward. I have no obligation to do a second thing just because of this misunderstanding to get my reward."
"No, no, no."
The Dwarf Tinman said 'no' three times. "Although I'm no longer a Demon-Hunter Sorcerer, I'm still an Arcane Sorcerer Scholar. You can't enslave my soul or body in any way, or you'll be judged as a Black Sorcerer. You will not get any benefits from killing me. "
Ugh …
Grimm thought about it seriously. He had not thought about this before. Now that he thought about it, it was a bit tricky. "Bright Sorcerer, don't you have many friends? Why do you want me to help you?" he asked.
"Because this secret treasure involves some family scandals. I do not want to expose it. I only want one of the items. But as a Dark Sorcerer, I think … you are not interested in the family's scandals, right? "
After a while, Grimm and the Dwarf Metal Man signed the Seven Rings Contract. Grimm then kept the Dwarf Metal Man in the World Fragment.
The insignificant interlude became a small piece of tranquility in the square of the fortress.
A Level-3 Honor Badge Demon-Hunter pointed at Grimm and the Dark Sorcerers nearby and shouted, "You guys, follow me!"
