"Sir Grimm, according to the director's instructions, you have a total of three chances to summon me to the Sorcerer World. This is the first time. Do you want me to kill that wizard?"
"No."
Grimm immediately rejected the idea.
Assisting a Dark Sorcerer to escape was a heinous crime. If he were to kill a Demon-Hunter Sorcerer because of this, Grimm would be sentenced to a thousand years in prison.
Such a punishment was unimaginable even for an official Magus.
Grimm stood on top of the shell of the Thousand-eyed Carcinus, flying in the direction where Kuryak and Roqhiroo were chasing after Hattori the Hidden.
"Your Excellency Grimm, although Master ordered me to obey your summons after descending into the Sorcerer World. However, according to the rules of the Stigmata Friendship Key, I can only stay in the Sorcerer World for one hourglass at most. "
The Thousand-eyed Carcinus kept stomping its eight legs in the air to accelerate its flight.
What made Grimm slightly uncomfortable was that the Thousand-eyed Carcinus had to fly horizontally, and it was a little slow in turning, even though its speed was very fast.
"Got it. One hourglass is enough."
This area was at the edge of the Jewel Sea, which was ruled by the Wizard Continent. If they continued to fly forward, they would enter the Black Realm's territory.
It was precisely because of this that Third Ghostpepper decided to trap Hattori the Hidden. Otherwise, if Kuryak and Roqhiroo were to chase after Hattori the Hidden, it would be troublesome once he reached the Black Domain.
No one knew what had happened to these Demon-Hunter Sorcerers in that world of expedition …
After a while.
"You … where's Third Ghostpepper?"
Kuryak, who was on the Pyramid aircraft, was in disbelief as she looked at Grimm, who was standing on the Thousand-eyed Carcinus.
On the other side, Hattori the Hidden and Roqhiroo, who were constantly fighting, also turned their heads to look at the behemoth in the distant sky and could not help but stop.
"Did Third Ghostpepper lose?"
Clad in bone armor, Luo Qilu murmured with empty eyes.
Xiu!
The huge body of Thousand-eyed Carcinus cast a huge shadow in the sky, covering the three of them. It then stood between Hattori the Hidden, Kuryak, and Roqhiroo.
On top of the Thousand-eyed Carcinus, Grimm's sorcerer robe was torn and tattered. Due to the injuries on his body, he had to use nature force to support his body to stand steadily.
Under the Mask of Truth, Grimm said in an unquestionable tone, "Give up."
Kuryak, who was on the Pyramid, had an ugly expression on her face.
He had put in so much effort to deceive the two fellows who could disrupt his plan, and then he had lured the other person to stop Gabriel. He had thought that with the combination of himself and Luo Qulu, they would be able to defeat Third Ghostpepper and steal Hattori the Hidden's head.
But she had miscalculated several points.
First of all, Hattori the Hidden's ability to escape was superb, and the human's despair that he had collected had given him quite a bit of combat power.
Secondly, Third Ghostly Pepper was simply too terrifying. Even if the two of them joined forces, they would still be no match for him.
Thirdly, it was Grimm, the troublemaker!
Kuryak's eyes flashed with a vicious glint. Ding! Kuryak reached out her palm, and a green key appeared.
"Grimm? Get out of my way! This Stigmata Friendship Key was given to me by a great Stigmata Sorcerer. If I summon the Netherwolf Spider Queen … "
Pfft …
Grimm burst out laughing. "You want to complete your mission, but you don't want to waste a chance to use the Stigmata Friendship Key. How dare you threaten me now? What a joke! "
After saying that, Grimm turned around and said, "Hattori the Hidden, you should know that there's no benefit in offending me. Saving Lefay is just a matter of convenience for you."
"Hmph, Grimm, the Dark Sorcerers are just students who study the Arcane of Life and Death differently from the Elemental Sorcerers. The reputation and dignity of the sorcerers should not be questioned."
Hattori the Hidden actually said that.
From the perspective of humans, the Dark Sorcerers were undoubtedly evil. They were the scourge of the Sorcerer World. It was only because this scourge was too deeply rooted that it could not be removed.
However, from an academic perspective, the Dark Sorcerers had their own ideals. They were sorcerers who pursued the truth along with the Mechanic Sorcerers since ancient times.
Kuryak nodded solemnly.
Grimm said, "You should go. The Black Domain is just ahead. Even if she activates the Stigmata Friendship Key, I'll give you an hourglass' worth of time."
"Haha, an hourglass' worth of time is enough. Grimm, I'll be waiting for you in the Black Domain." After saying that, Hattori the Hidden flew away without looking back.
Crack! Crack!
The Thousand-eyed Carcinus' pincers opened and closed like a pair of scissors.
Grimm looked at Kuryak and said, "Put away your Stigmata Friendship Key. You should know that you don't have a chance anymore."
Roqhiroo flew to Kuryak's pyramid platform with the Three-headed Hound Demon and sighed. "Looks like I'll have to wait for the next Demon Hunter Consociation."
Kuryak snorted coldly and put away the Stigmata Friendship Key. Beneath her long blonde hair was a pair of eyes that kept sizing up Grimm. She was looking at this mysterious Demon Hunter who was wearing a grayish-white mask and was trying his best to help the Dark Sorcerer escape.
"To be able to last a minute against Third Ghostpepper and successfully summon such a powerful creature, it seems that you have a bright future ahead of you. If you had chosen to kill Hattori the Hidden, the next Demon Hunter Consociation spot would have been yours. "
After saying that, Kuryak shook her head and mocked, "But you foolishly chose to help him escape. In the next few hundred years, if you don't want to be listed as a Dark Sorcerer by the Holy Tower, you'd better have a taste of the Prison of the Seven Rings. "
Grimm stood on top of the Thousand-eyed Carcinus' shell, feeling the cool sea breeze brushing past his sorcerer's robe and fluttering his long blonde hair.
The sun was setting in the west.
Although Kuryak's mockery was very oppressive, Grimm faced it with ease. He looked at the boundless scenery on the surface of the sea, feeling relaxed and carefree.
"Dreams and beliefs are greater than benefits, because … we are humans."
Grimm smiled and said without regret, "Perhaps, I have indeed lost a lot because of this foolish choice, but I know that in the future, when I look back and recall the long years that have passed, it will all be worth it."
"Hmph, looks like you should be a Bright Sorcerer. You're so weak." Kuryak secretly resented Grimm's foolishness. At the same time, she was also a little angry.
From Kuryak's point of view, everything that Grimm did was to harm others without benefiting himself. It was simply too stupid.
After a long silent confrontation, Kuryak finally knew that she had no chance. She looked at Grimm with pity and hatred, and was about to leave.
Grimm's face was full of smiles.
It was the joy of victory, of being able to make a contribution and compensation in Lefay's final moments.
Grimm knew that this was the love described in novels, the dedication of love. He had done it.
Even though it was foolish and a loss, Grimm felt a sense of warmth and happiness, as if the emptiness in his heart had been satisfied.
Life …
This must be fate, a kind of limitless unknown possibility. His "victory" against Third Ghostpepper must have been a blessing from fate.
At this moment, the scene of the three Demon-Hunter Sorcerers in an inconspicuous corner of the Jewel Sea was insignificant to the progress of the Sorcerer World. It seemed that the story should have ended there.
However …
The wind blew and the clouds gathered. From afar, a Demon-Hunter Sorcerer in a loose black sorcerer's robe flew over. At this moment, the three Demon-Hunter Sorcerers could not help but look over.
"The Demon-Hunter Consociation Trials have all failed."
Kuryak and Roqhiroo were stunned, staring at the Demon-Hunter Sorcerer. A Level 3 Demon-Hunter Sorcerer?
And on his hand …
"Argh …"
On top of the Thousand-eyed Carcinus, Grimm let out a roar of pain from the bottom of his heart. He half-knelt on the top of the Carcinus' shell, his hands clutching his chest as he stared at the head in the Level 3 Demon-Hunter Sorcerer's hand.
This was Hattori the Hidden's head!
It turned out that the Demon-Hunter Consociation Trials had invigilators. This was just a screening mission for the high-level Dark Sorcerers to recruit new blood, just like the Holy Tower Qualification Battle.
"Dark Sorcerers! Dark Sorcerers! Demon-Hunter Consociation, Demon-Hunter Consociation, Demon-Hunter Consociation … "
Grimm closed his eyes, his voice filled with sorrow and despair.
After putting in so much effort and fighting so hard, in the end, he was just a bug jumping around in a box?
Never before had Grimm hated the cruelty of the Dark Sorcerers and the cruelty of fate as much as he did now.
He and the others on Helen should have joined the Bright Sorcerer Lilith's Cabin Sorcerer Academy. Why, why, why did fate play such a trick on them?
If everyone on the ship had joined the Lilith's Cabin Sorcerer Academy back then, they would have become trustworthy companions to study sorcery together. But now …
"Grimm, you've violated the Holy Tower's rules by helping the Dark Sorcerers to escape. You have to thank me for saving you from a few hundred years of imprisonment. Now, be a good boy and follow me back to the Holy Tower of Seven Rings to receive your punishment. "
The Level 3 Demon-Hunter Sorcerer who suddenly appeared said in the sea breeze. He admired Grimm, but at the same time, he was disappointed that Grimm did not live up to his expectations.
Obviously, he had been secretly observing the movements of all the Demon-Hunters along the way as the mastermind.
Drip …
As a drop of tear fell from Grimm's Mask of Truth, the spatial coordinates of the faraway Eastern Coral Island of the Myna extended to Grimm's feet like noodles. The next moment, Grimm disappeared from the Thousand-eyed Carcinus' shell in the Jewel Sea.
"Ah! Young Master, bad news! Just now, just now in the sealing device, I don't know what happened to La, La Fay … "The Myna was impatient and talking nonsense, not knowing what it was trying to express.
Grimm looked at Lafite who was looking at him through the crystal wall, trying to express something. He quickly reached out his hand to touch the crystal wall.
"Lafite, don't worry …"
Boom!
Suddenly, a smear of dark red blood exploded in the crystal container under the Myna, mixed with spots of pale white, and slowly flowed down the crystal wall.
Grimm and the Myna were left in a dead silence, standing there blankly.
Grimm's palm was forever suspended in mid-air …
