"Brother Belrod, do we have a chance to compete for the second Secret Mirror?"
A clever-looking female apprentice looked at Belrod expectantly.
Seeing the girl looking at him expectantly, Belrod's heart was filled with satisfaction and pride.
Back then, when he was a nobody, no one in the team cared about him at all. Not to mention this girl, who was known as the bright pearl of the team, asking for his opinion, she didn't even look at him.
But now …
She actually put on an obedient and clever appearance in front of him.
"Yes, Brother Belrod, do you think we have a chance to compete for the second Secret Mirror?"
The girl asked for the second time, which greatly satisfied Belrod's vanity. It was as if he was soaking in a hot spring in the cold winter.
"Ahem …"
Belrod coughed twice.
Every time Belrod spoke in front of his companions, he would cough twice to calm them down and focus their attention. At the same time, he would always put on a humble and wise smile, as if he was a perfect genius who was saying something that had been deeply analyzed and taken for granted.
"The second Secret Mirror competition is, of course, ten times more difficult than the first one. Ordinary people would be like moths to a flame if they participated. But … "
Belrod glanced at the few people next to him. Seeing their expectant eyes, he couldn't help but smile and say, "But with the strength of our team, if the students in this Secret Mirror are relatively weak, we still have a good chance."
After saying that, Belrod put on a "humble" smile again, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
However, it had to be said that as the ninth of the Dark Realm Academy's Top Ten Experts, Belrod already had the strength to surpass his ranking.
For example … at this time, Belrod's mark value had completely exceeded ten points! He indeed had some capital to be proud of.
Under Bairrod's lead, the group of five finally arrived at the nearest secret realm that they had sensed.
Suddenly, when Belrod's team approached the Secret Mirror, they instantly sensed a terrifying mark fluctuation. They all looked at the metal monster sitting in the distance in horror. Their sweaty heads buzzed, and the title "Machinery Hivemind" exploded in their heads at the same time.
Within a hundred meters of the Machinery Hivemind in this Secret Mirror, no team dared to station near him. This was the deterrent power of the Desperator!
In other parts of the Secret Mirror, there were about thirty or forty people scattered around. Most of them were extremely strong, and at least ten of them had a mark value of more than ten points. For example, in Grimm's team, Grimm, Lafite, and Robin had a mark value of more than ten points.
Robin had first met up with Lafite, and with Lafite's help, he had gained something. Without his sister's help, Chris's battle power was average, and he did not dare to use any explosive spells.
Belrod and the others carefully controlled their footsteps, not daring to make too much noise, so as not to attract the attention of the Despair in the distance, they slowly retreated.
"Huff, huff …"
The female Sorcerer-Apprentice, who was known as Bright Pearl, gasped for air. The pressure from the Desperate Ones just now had indeed frightened the team a lot.
At this time, Bright Pearl could not help but look at Belrod again with a pitiful tearful look. "Brother Belrod, what should we do now?"
Belrod secretly clenched his teeth.
Not willing to let his confident and wise image be destroyed, Belrod tried to put on an expression as if he had already expected it and didn't care.
"It's okay. There are a total of seven Desperators in the ten Secret Mirror, so it's normal to have one in this Secret Mirror. But even if it's a Desperator, with so many marks of more than ten points, he won't dare to do anything. We can find a chance … "
Saying this, Belrod led the team to the other end of the Secret Mirror, away from the Desperator, under the admiring eyes of his followers.
"Brother Belrod, there are three students in this team with a mark value of more than ten points. What should we do?"
The female apprentice, known as Bright Pearl, habitually asked Belrod.
Seeing that Belrod didn't speak, she raised her head and suddenly found that Belrod was standing there in a daze. He looked horrified as if he had seen a ghost, and even his legs were trembling!
This made the faces of the people behind Belrod change. Even when he saw the Mechanical Heart of the Desperator, he did not have such a look.
Of course, these people behind Belrod would not understand how shocked and frightened Belrod was when he saw the man with the pale mask!
Ten days ago, Belrod came to the trial field on the first day. He thought this would be a paradise for him and wanted to kill a lot of magic stones, but then …
But all these dreams were ruthlessly destroyed by this mysterious Sorcerer-Apprentice in front of him.
Not only did he ruthlessly trample on Belrod's dreams, but he also violently beat Belrod back to reality during his escape. Since then, a series of nightmarish memories had been left in his heart.
Belrod did not know how pale his face was and how terrible the sweat was. He just stretched out an uncontrollable, shaking hand and said in a trembling voice, "Leave … leave here!"
There was no room for doubt in his voice.
The five of them left the Secret Mirror with their tails between their legs, just like the other Sorcerer-Apprentices who had overestimated themselves before and after.
On the other side, Grimm happened to see Belrod. Of course, Grimm had some impression of the Sorcerer-Apprentice who ran away from him on the first day of the trial.
Shaking his head and smiling, he did not care about this matter. Grimm continued to "inadvertently" throw a stone or something into the confinement magic array, "testing" the situation inside.
…
Three days later, in the middle of the night, hazy moonlight sprinkled on the earth.
In this Secret Mirror where Grimm was, there were a few occasional conflicts. Because many Sorcerer-Apprentices really could not do anything about this Secret Mirror, some Sorcerer-Apprentices could not help but leave in disappointment. At this time, there were about a dozen Sorcerer-Apprentices still gathered in the Secret Mirror.
Grimm silently observed the Void Worm in the Secret Mirror, which was less than one percent of its original size. He silently nodded to Lafite, Chris, and the others next to him. Afterward, they all carried a large number of stones, branches, and other things directly into the confinement magic array, heading straight for the altar in the center of the magic array.
At the same time, outside the magic array, the Mechanical Hivemind suddenly opened his eyes and coldly said, "Hmph! Finally, there are Sorcerer-Apprentices who can break the guardian inside? "
Then his figure flashed, and without hesitation, he also rushed into the magic array.
As for the other teams, except for the guards, most of them were still meditating and sleeping.
Inside the magic array, as the large "objects" in the hands of Grimm, Lafite, and the others were thrown into the invisible Void Worm, Grimm sensed that the Void Worm was shrinking at an alarming rate. In a few seconds, it would completely disappear.
Grimm and the others could no longer suppress the joy in their hearts.
As long as they could get their hands on the powerful one-time-use treasure in the center of the altar, even the Mechanical Hivemind would not dare to fight with Grimm's team, because it would be a strenuous and unrewarding act!
For the treasure on the altar, the deterrent effect was far greater than its practical use. It could even be said that as long as they got the treasure on the altar, as long as they didn't fight for the Third Secret Mirror, and waited until the end of the trial, as long as they didn't do anything too out of line, they could generally pass the trial safely.
"Hmph! Sorry, this Flame Fusion Bead can't belong to you. "
With a cold voice, the Mechanical Hivemind appeared in front of Grimm and the others. At the same time, a huge spinning compass quickly flew over.
"Watch out!"
Chris shouted, and almost instantaneously completed his werewolf transformation and the witchcraft in his body. He stomped on the ground, his body turning into a shadow, and his battle axe fiercely chopped at the spinning compass flying over.
There was a loud bang! Chris's sudden burst of strength was able to stop the spinning compass.
The Mechanical Hivemind was slightly surprised, and seemed to have seen something funny. He curled his lips and called Chris an idiot, not even looking at him.
At this time, seven or eight mechanical beetles flew out of his body, heading straight for the altar. There, Robinson was only a few steps away from the top of the altar.
On the other side, Chris's face instantly changed. He felt a powerful and irresistible magnetic force coming from the spinning compass. Not only the battle axe in his hand, but also the metal claw that he was so proud of, which was embedded in his body, was actually sucked over with a bang, becoming a burden.
The weight of this compass was not light, and for a moment, Chris lost the ability to fight together.
On the other side, a series of explosions suddenly occurred near Robinson, who was only a few steps away from the altar. Robinson was shocked, and his body instantly turned into a black mist, shooting dozens of meters to the edge of the magic array.
Lafite's eyes were closed, and the other turned into the eyes of an eagle. His beautiful and mature face was now full of coldness. With a "bang" sound, the bow of Full Moon Life was bent, and a shadow condensed with terrible wind elemental energy and life energy flashed toward the Mechanical Hivemind. Lafite sneered, "It's over!"
Boom!
The violent ball of wind rolled up countless leaves of life energy, cutting the trapped Mechanical Hivemind layer by layer. Having personally experienced the horror of Lafite's spell, the corner of Grimm's eyes couldn't help but twitch.
At the same time, the Hurricane Arrows on Lafite's back decreased by one, leaving only three.
Grimm didn't dare to move carelessly. He stared at the huge ball of wind not far away.
Anna panicked and ran to Chris's side, trying to help him separate the big compass.
Finally, Robin quickly ran to the altar to grab the powerful consumable tool that the Mechanical Hivemind called the "Flame Fusion Bead."
Suddenly, from the violent ball of wind, a beam of golden light shot straight at Lafite. The terrifying energy waves contained in it couldn't help but make everyone's face change!
Almost at the same time, a nearly naked figure rushed out of the ball of wind, heading straight for Robin at an astonishing speed. One of its metal arms actually made a rotating, sawing sound.
Lafite had just shot the Hurricane Arrows, and her body was in its weakest state. At this moment, when she felt the golden beam of light shooting at her, her face was incomparably pale. A trace of despair that came from her soul made her tremble uncontrollably.
In this final period, Lafite's Eagle Eyes seemed to have undergone some strange changes. He felt that the beam of light had actually slowed down a lot.
However, although Lafite could feel that the beam of light had indeed slowed down a lot, her body seemed to be unable to move no matter what. She could only watch helplessly as the fatal beam of light attacked her.
"No! No! Move! Quickly move! "
Lafite screamed desperately in her heart.
At this moment, a figure suddenly took a step forward and stood firmly in front of Lafite. In her despair, Lafite's pupils shrank, and she suddenly smiled inexplicably.
As expected, had she always been a guy who only believed in herself?
Under the Ashen Mask, Grimm's eyes quietly felt the terrifying power of the golden beam of light. It was no wonder that after the Machinery Hivemind shot this terrifying beam of light at Lafite, it didn't even look at it and rushed toward Robin. It seemed that he was extremely confident in this spell of his.
His long golden hair was blown away by the ball of wind in the distance, scattered and fluttering in the wind. The robe on his body rustled and rustled. It was as if Grimm was resisting a level-12 berserker as he calmly extended a hand toward the golden beam of light. In an instant, he stimulated all the magic in his body and gathered it on the Ashen Mask.
Hum!
An imprint value fluctuation of more than 30 silently spread out. The Machinery Hivemind, who was attacking Robin, suddenly paused. It actually stopped its blurred figure and slowly turned to look at Grimm.
Boom!
The golden beam of light landed on Grimm's protective shield. After a dazzling light, the protective shield actually began to show an astonishing change in shape. Bit by bit, it continuously caved in, as if it would shatter in the next moment.
Grimm was still calm.
He didn't know whether this calmness was because of his confidence in himself, because the mask covered his deathly pale face, or because there were people behind him that he had to protect. He couldn't retreat, and could only maintain all his confidence and endure.
Boom!
After the last moment of dazzling light, which was almost impossible to look at directly, Grimm still stood firmly in place. His long golden hair slowly fell down along with the dissipation of the ball of wind in the distance.
At this moment, Grimm was like a giant mountain that would never fall, blocking any attack.
Lafite, with his eagle eyes, once again drew the Bow of Life to a full moon. The Arrow of Hurricane accumulated a frightening energy fluctuation. However, this time, the Arrow of Hurricane was not released. It seemed that it was only used for deterrence.
"Got it!"
At the top of the altar, Robin held the dazzling Flame Fusion Bead and shouted excitedly.
The whole battle seemed to have taken a long time, but in reality, it was only a short two or three seconds. Only now did the other Sorcerer-Apprentices outside the magic array react. One by one, they madly rushed into the magic array, but it was all over.
With the deterrence of the Flame Fusion Bead, not a single Sorcerer-Apprentice dared to foolishly rush up to snatch it.
At this moment, because of Lafite's previous attack, not only did all the clothes covering the Machinery Hivemind's body disappear, but the metal tail behind him also seemed to have suffered considerable damage and was dragging powerlessly on the ground.
Below his right rib, sparks were faintly emitting from the inside of his body. It seemed that some kind of mechanical damage had occurred, and large pieces of flesh and skin were simply too horrible to look at.
The Machinery Hivemind looked at the mysterious man not far away, who was exploding with the same intensity of imprint fluctuations as him. Looking at the calm eyes under the pale mask on his face, he knew that this person was definitely not any of the Desperators on his data!
The faint confrontation between the Machinery Hivemind and Grimm seemed to have become the focus of all gazes. An obscure but intense aura slowly spread out.
