"God knows what this was before, but it definitely wasn't formed naturally in the Endless World." Myna stared at the irregular metal in Grimm's hand and said confidently.
Roar …
Grimm turned around and saw the two-headed lava snake under the control of the Savage Flame Giant. After a loud roar, it melted into a pool of liquid and merged into the mud, lifeless.
"Dead?"
Under the Mask of Truth, Grimm frowned. This piece of metal was not ordinary.
He was sure that neither the Amonros nor the Lava Giants had the ability to smelt metal, nor would they use metal weapons in battle. However, according to Grimm's observation, this piece of irregular metal was obviously some kind of metal weapon in ancient times.
From the faint evil aura that this piece of metal exuded, he guessed that it must have been forged by some creature with a strong killing intent.
Could it be the Shura tribe that attempted to invade this world in ancient times?
Or was it smelted by some other creature in an even more ancient time, before the Amonros and Lava Giants?
Or was it a powerful creature from another unknown world that passed through this world, and something happened to it?
Mysteries circled around Grimm's mind, but he could not find any answers. In this strange foreign world, not to mention the Demon-Hunter Sorcerers, even the Amonros and Lava Giants only occupied part of the living space.
There were too many strange and mysterious places in this world that had not been explored at all.
"Caw caw, I finally got it. It stinks. Let's get out of here." Myna could not wait to leave and urged Grimm.
With a sigh, Grimm opened a dimensional gap and placed the strange metal inside.
As for the mysterious power that this metal could communicate with, he could study it later when he was free. For now, Grimm planned to collect as many biological specimens as he could, observe and speculate on the location, and then proceed to his next destination.
While chatting, Grimm was interested in the "Banon Fantasy" mentioned by a Lava Giant. Perhaps there would be unexpected gains?
Just like that, Grimm started to get busy in this lava lake, collecting the specimen database that formed this ecosystem.
Three months later, Grimm brought along the bored Myna and left the lava lake. They flew in the direction of the mysterious "Banon Mirage" of the Lava Giant clan.
…
Two years later.
On this day, Grimm finally confirmed that he had arrived at the Banon Phantasmagoria that the Lava Giant had mentioned.
This was a landscape that resembled a forest of rocks. Rock spikes that were hundreds of meters tall stood in great numbers. It was like an enlarged version of the stone pillar forest from the Holy Tower Tryouts during the Sorcerer-Apprenticeship period.
Grimm stood at the edge of the stone forest. He did not rashly enter. Instead, he stood at the edge and quietly observed the situation inside. The howling wind was like a hoarse whisper, spying on ignorant creatures in the dark to fall into the trap.
Among the Lava Giants, the name Banon Mirage meant Devil's Trap in the language of the Magi.
After a while, Grimm shook his head and said in a bored tone, "The devil's mockery? It was just a sound wave created by the swirling hot air in the valley after it passed through the forest of earth and rocks. Restricted perception? The chaotic energy in this place made it impossible for energy users to fly. Therefore, it was very easy to be confused by this kind of monotonous landscape. If it was a Physique Refinement Sorcerer, it would not be a problem at all. An illusion from the Nightmare World? That's nonsense! "
After analyzing it rationally, Grimm shook his head and laughed at the ignorance of the native creatures of this low-level world.
Turning his head, Grimm looked at the Myna on his shoulder and said, "You stay here for now …"
Hmm?!
Grimm was shocked. There was nothing on his shoulder. Even when he summoned the Myna through the coordinate connection, he could not sense anything.
"Strange … Impossible!"
Grimm was shocked. He turned his head again. What he saw was a forest of earth and rocks. It was hundreds of meters tall, with no end in sight. The Eternal Sun shone above his head.
Since when had he barged into the Banon Fantasy World?
What made Grimm even more incredulous was that he could not sense any Force of Nature. He could not even use his high-strength body to fly by stepping on the air.
Thud, thud, thud. Grimm landed on the ground of the valley in the earth and rock forest.
Woo, woo, woo, woo …
The hoarse sound of the wind made Grimm slightly flustered. It was as if the sound of the wind just a moment ago was just a simple airflow. Now, the wind had become an inexplicable mysterious force. He did not know where it came from or where it was going. It was as if it had appeared out of thin air, and he could not sense any Force of Nature.
Grimm tried his best to suppress the helplessness and fear in his heart. He held his breath and took a few steps back, leaving a few footprints on the soft sandy ground. In the blink of an eye, they were covered up by the sandstorm.
"Even the Principal Will of the Sorcerer World in the Void Fortress has been blocked? What the hell is this place? "
Leaning on the earth and rock pillar, Grimm tried hard to control his rational thinking, calmly analyzing the unusual scene in front of him. At the same time, he was even more flustered and could not analyze anything at all.
Suddenly, Grimm turned his head and took a few steps back.
The place he was leaning on was not some earth and rock pillar at all. It was actually a 50-60 meter tall Lava Giant that was sleeping like a corpse?
This Lava Giant was lifelike, looking into the distance. The flame energy on its body seemed to have disappeared, as if it had been exhausted due to its death, or as if it had been sucked away by something.
Faintly, Grimm actually felt a sense of despair from this Lava Giant.
Grimm's face paled. This place was not normal. He had to leave immediately!
As a Dark Magus, Grimm was sensitive to danger. He only felt his body turn cold and his hair stand on end. At this moment, it was as if the laws of the world had undergone an indescribable change, and he had a feeling that he was at a loss.
Although he was unable to fly, he relied on his strong physique and the direction he was heading in. Grimm began to fly backward, shuttling between the stone pillars.
After an unknown amount of time, it seemed like a few days had passed. Even when Grimm felt that his strength was running out, there was still a single earth and rock forest in front of him. The vast landscape seemed to be endless.
Or perhaps … Grimm had always been walking in circles?
"Wick Labyrinth?"
Some Magi specialized in exploring the knowledge of illusions. They took a different path from ordinary Magi who leveraged the laws of the elements, and developed some strange and mysterious spells.
Coincidentally, Grimm found out some information about the Wick Labyrinth.
Simply put, creatures that fell into this illusory labyrinth would be trapped in a relatively small spiritual world. Similar objects of reference would cause them to doubt themselves, and they would lose themselves. Eventually, their spiritual will would die of despair, leaving behind an empty shell in the endless world.
The simplest way to break through it was to close one's eyes and not rely on any objects of reference. One could only rely on one's strong conviction and continue walking in a certain direction without any doubts.
Breathing rapidly, Grimm closed his eyes, and the world suddenly darkened.
At this moment, Grimm only felt that the surrounding world was extremely strange. It was incomparably spacious and terrifyingly quiet, as if he had barged into a strange world with strange laws.
"Hiss, don't run away …"
A blood-curdling, mournful voice sounded. Grimm was startled and felt his hands and feet turn cold. It was as if countless hands and tentacles were dragging him into a strange, unknown darkness.
In the next moment, a warm feeling, a feeling of being surrounded by the laws of the world, gradually returned to Grimm's body.
"Young Master! Are you going in or not? Say something! This broken place is so boring! "Myna's impatient voice suddenly traveled into Grimm's ears.
As if in a trance, Grimm's vision blurred. An endless and calm earth and rock forest quietly appeared in front of him. Myna called out in annoyance beside Grimm's ear.
The wind was still howling, like the low moans of demons, but it seemed to have rules and was no longer mysterious.
"What's going on!" Grimm shook his head, his breathing hastened as he mumbled, "Was it really just an illusion?"
"Ah! Young Master, what happened to your hand? "Myna cried out in shock.
Grimm looked down and saw that the skin of his palm and arms were covered with strangulation bruises of various shapes. There were tentacles, densely packed neat dots, and there was even a baby-sized palm, crisscrossing vertically and vertically.
"Hiss …"
Everything just now …
In a panic, Grimm took two steps back and suddenly turned around. Without looking back, he left this strange place that the Lava Giants called "Banon's Illusion" and flew away with all his might.
Or rather, he fled.
Vaguely, Grimm felt that there was an incomprehensible distortion of space and time in this area. It was constantly shrinking and expanding, moving and twisting chaotically.
Perhaps, this was just a strange natural phenomenon of this world. Perhaps, this was a strange illusion of a world that low-ranked Magi could not understand.
He had to pass this information to the Void Fortress!
