Seventeen days later.
Counting the time, Grimm had already touched the edge of the world 322 times in this world fragment that had no specific coordinates or reference.
This world fragment was indeed constantly changing its self-shape, like a soft, irregular jelly.
After traveling through the Narrow World for so many times, Grimm was bored flying through the chaotic energy ribbons. Suddenly, the shadow of a strange object in the upper corner surprised Grimm.
This is …
I've finally found the metal castle's laboratory!
It was more than 300 meters high, and the main castle was connected to dozens of houses, exuding a cold metallic luster. There was an energy collection device on the top of each house. Although most of them were damaged, there were still a few that seemed to be operating automatically, flashing from time to time.
There was no sky, ground, or direction in this Narrow World, so in Grimm's vision, this castle was a strange object that was lying down and floating in the air.
After adjusting himself to the same angle as the castle, Grimm carefully flew toward the metal castle.
According to the information provided by the sorceress, this metal castle came from the sealed world of the Bottle Teapot. It was an ancient mechanical sorcerer's aircraft, which was later transformed into a laboratory by her mentor's mentor.
And her mentor, after the failure of the experiment, "lived" in this metal castle.
Hmm?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation On the metal gate of the castle, six fingernail scratches were as deep as a finger. They were probably caused by the deformed monster that the Dwarf Tinman had transformed into.
Without the protection of the Wizard's Barrier, Grimm was very cautious about such an attack.
With this thought in mind, Grimm opened a gap in the metal gate, which was seven or eight meters high, and walked in.
The gate automatically creaked and closed again.
Fragments of the magic crystal lamp were scattered on the metal floor, along with some other debris. This metal castle had some kind of mechanical device that had gravity to simulate the environment of the Wizard World.
Suddenly, Grimm seemed to find something. He stopped and picked up a scale from the debris.
The scale was greenish-gray and had no patterns. It looked like a shell, and the material was very hard. It should be the scale of some ancient, invertebrate creature.
"Is it self-evolving?"
Grimm muttered to himself. He shook his head in self-denial and said, "No, it should be a reaction of rejection. Just like the Blood Witchcraft, without the guidance of the Wizard's long-term self-will, these foreign objects will soon produce some kind of rejection reaction, mutation, or discharge. "
There wasn't any dust in the metal castle, because there weren't large amounts of biological cells metabolizing here, nor was there any natural dust. As such, it was still brand new.
After passing through a metal corridor, Grimm arrived at the castle hall.
The walls of the castle hall, which was dozens of meters high, were covered with claw marks. The large crystal chandelier on the ceiling, which used to be luxurious and beautiful, had now fallen to the ground, broken and old.
This time, Grimm found a large area of traces of metal corrosion.
Walking to the side of the metal layer with traces of corrosion, Grimm reached out to touch and feel it.
After a while, Grimm received some information. This should be the instinctive witchcraft left in the memory of her mentor, which was mentioned in the crystal ball.
Judging from its state, it should be some kind of corrosive liquid witchcraft. Ice witchcraft should be able to restrain it.
Raising his head, Grimm looked at the environment in the hall and began to think.
Needless to say, the greatest wealth in the ruins of a Wizard's private residence was the Wizard's knowledge in the laboratory. There were so many rooms in this metal castle, so it would obviously take Grimm some time to plunder.
But before that, since he had to get rid of the unintelligent monster, it was better to prepare well.
With this thought in mind, Grimm opened the Dimensional Gap and took out a large number of high-purity Fire Crystals and Magic Stones. He began to set up a conventional trapping magic array.
After a full hourglass, Grimm tested the magic array and nodded with satisfaction under the Mask of Truth. His figure flashed and disappeared from the hall.
Looking from room to room, the whole place was filled with a thick, sickening stench of hair.
Most of the rooms were empty. Occasionally, there were rooms that used to store experimental materials, but most of them were destroyed, as if the experimental specimens had been eaten.
Gradually, as Grimm went deeper into the metal castle, a door that was still protected by a magic restriction surprised Grimm.
* Whoosh! *
The Inextinguishable Flame ignited, and Grimm placed one of his hands on the magic restriction. The magic restriction flickered for a while before it finally extinguished. With a creak, Grimm pushed open the metal door of the room.
"Uh, this is?"
The room was empty except for a round, black metal ball in the center. It was very conspicuous, and Soran had no idea what it was.
Under the Mask of Truth, Grimm's eyes flashed, and he walked over.
The metal ball was about three meters in diameter. The metal material was very special, and it felt a little soft to the touch. It seemed to be a strange magic weapon that required an elemental password to control.
"Hmm? An unexpected find. I wonder what it is. "Without hesitation, Grimm stored the metal ball into the Dimensional Gap.
As for cracking the elemental password, there were some Bright Demon-Hunter Sorcerers in the Holy Tower who specialized in this kind of sorcerer knowledge.
Slightly delighted, Grimm left the room and continued to search the other rooms.
This was a laboratory that collected insect specimens. Now, it was a mess, and all the insect specimens were gone.
This was a laboratory that collected plant specimens, and it was also a mess. An orange vine that could take root on metal was buried in the rubble, and Grimm carefully collected it.
In the library, there were torn and gnawed pages everywhere. Regretfully, Grimm collected some books and scrolls that were barely recognizable.
…
After half an hourglass, finally, Grimm stopped in front of an open hall door.
"Finally found it!"
In battle mode, Grimm immediately unlocked the first level of his Wild Instinct. As a layer of dense scales emerged on his body, his eyes under the Mask of Truth looked at the monster that seemed to be a little strange.
In general, it was a creature crawling on all fours, sticking to the wall like a gecko and biting a sheepskin scroll, as if it was eating a piece of leather.
Its hind legs were extremely thick, and there seemed to be some kind of suction cup structure under its feet. At the same time, there were still some scales that had not fallen off.
Its front legs had six sharp claws that were tens of centimeters long, like six sharp knives, shining with a dim light.
The scales on its body had completely fallen off, revealing the bright red muscle tissue under the scales. A ferocious, almost beast-like head bared its fangs, and its nose sniffed back and forth.
Hmm?
No, there was a big mouth on its abdomen, which was also the source of the human's Despair aura. Was this some kind of mutation after the Dark Sorcerer's cells were grafted?
"Roar! Meat … "
"Xiu!" The moment the monster discovered Grimm, it howled and rushed over.
A pair of claws that looked like six daggers easily melted the metal wall, and the suction cups under its hind legs allowed it to crawl on the wall as if it was walking on flat ground.
"Ha!"
With a loud shout, Grimm's reaction was incomparably fast. He pressed his hand on the monster's sinister head and leaped up, avoiding the attack of the opponent's sharp claws.
"Creak!" 12 claw marks appeared on the metal floor.
The pupils under the Mask of Truth shrank. "Peng!" The monster's head was pressed to the ground by Grimm. At the same time, Grimm quickly collected the monster's life information and nimbly leaped back.
* Boom! Boom! Boom! *
The three firebirds exploded, and the billowing flames instantly engulfed the monster. Grimm held a piece of minced meat in his hand and flew in the direction of the magic array.
"It's so weak. It's not even on the same level as the Dwarf Tinman's crystal ball image. Is it starving?" Grimm guessed and smiled excitedly.
Fortunately, the monster's strength had decreased after reincarnating in the phylactery, so it did not come to investigate again.
Of course, even if the monster was only at its current strength, it was not something that the Dwarf Tinman Arcane Sorcerer, who had been reincarnated in the phylactery for decades, could handle.
While preparing the Curse Witchcraft, Grimm quietly waited for the monster to break into the magic array.
"Roar …"
A ferocious and brutal phantom rushed out. Without any hesitation, it plunged into the magic array. Glenn didn't know why, but he suddenly found that the magic array became difficult to control the moment the monster broke in.
What was going on?
For a moment, Grimm thought about a lot of things. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration. Was it because the monster was a Master of Magic Arrays when it was alive?
If that was the case, then it would explain why the Dwarf Tinman Sorceress had such a powerful Magic Prohibition Spell.
With Grimm's poor knowledge of Magic Prohibition Spells, he could only fiddle with them in front of some foreign creatures or apprentices.
Grimm could not help but feel slightly annoyed and ashamed. He had spent a lot of time to set up the Magic Prohibition Spell, but it had been easily broken by a Sorcerer who had lost his mind. It was really embarrassing.
"But, it doesn't matter … Frost Sword!"
After taking a deep breath, Grimm cast the same low-grade Curse Sorcery as he stretched out his hand, and a Frost Greatsword appeared in front of him.
Suddenly, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop, and large pieces of ice crystals floated in the air.
This was the spell that Grimm had completed after obtaining Millie's Ice Marrow Body. He had spent the past few years traveling to learn about the ice element, and he had spent three months recuperating in the Dwarf Tinman Castle.
In general, it was also based on the Savage Flame Giant's talent in refining the Lava Sword.
"Hah!"
Grimm swung his Frost Greatsword high up in the air, shielding himself from the Black Corrosive Water. Grimm glanced at the half-melted greatsword, and with a surge of magic power, the Frost Greatsword once again solidified with a series of creaking sounds.
Without the slightest hesitation, Glenn held the Frost Greatsword in his hand and charged at the starving and weak monster …
One-eighth of an hourglass later.
The Frost Greatsword in Glenn's hand turned into ice crystals that filled the sky. He used his feet to kick the rotten meat that he had chopped into pieces. Shaking his head, Glenn was about to continue exploring the metal laboratory for other valuable items when he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Thump, thump …"
There was still a faint heartbeat coming from the monster's broken abdomen.
"The Heart of Life!"
Grimm cried out in surprise. He quickly removed the monster's rotten body, and a beating heart appeared in front of him.
