"Hmph, the hidden Desperado of the Black Isotta Academy?"
The Machinery Hivemind's appearance was appalling. The parts that were not mechanized were dripping with blood, and there was almost no place that was intact.
The Machinery Hivemind didn't seem to care at all. It just stared straight at Grimm and asked calmly.
Grimm remained silent and didn't say anything.
* Bang! *
The Machinery Hivemind seemed to have stopped some of the vibrating attacks of the mechanical right arm. The original spinning sawing sound disappeared, and the corner of its mouth revealed a faint smile. "Or maybe … it's just this protective shield that's special?"
"You can try again."
Under the mask, Grimm said coldly.
With the cooperation of several teammates, Grimm didn't have to be afraid of this so-called Machinery Hivemind.
The Machinery Hivemind glanced at Lafite, who was behind Grimm, and then looked at Robin, who was holding the Fission Flame Bead at the top of the altar. After a moment of silence, the Machinery Hivemind left without looking back.
Before that, the other sorcerer-apprentices who knew they had missed the opportunity to seize the treasure had already left.
"Hmph … interesting. I'm looking forward to your appearance in the third Hidden Mirror. Ashen Mask, I'll tell the others your information. "
The Machinery Hivemind's voice came from afar. With a buzz, the magnetic spinning compass left Chris and flew away. The Machinery Hivemind's figure completely disappeared into the forest at night.
"Phew …"
Lafite breathed a sigh of relief. He slowly put the Arrow of Hurricane back on his back and took the Fission Flame Bead from Robin. Feeling the terrifying energy waves contained in it, Lafite was overjoyed. He said to the others, "Now we're completely safe. We don't have to worry about those Desperado anymore!"
Chris, Anna, Robin, Robinson, and Grimm gathered around and felt the terrifying energy waves condensed in the Fission Flame Bead. Although they didn't try to explode it, a conservative estimate was that it would definitely be more than 100 degrees.
With such an attack intensity, as long as it didn't involve too much profit, even those Desperado would retreat.
Robinson patted Grimm on the shoulder and laughed. "Hey, Grimm, when you said to the Machinery Hivemind, 'You can try', it was so cool! Haha … It's a pity that you have Big Sister Lafite, otherwise I would definitely introduce you to a few pretty good girls in the academy, haha … Oh, oh, oh, my dear wife, it hurts … "
On the other side, Robin twisted Robinson's ear and said fiercely, "You know a lot of girls, don't you? Hmm? "
Anna York looked at Grimm with stars in her eyes. Her expression was one of extreme worship.
Chris, who was at the side, felt upset. He knocked his sister's head and said, "What are you looking at? Don't tell me your brother has never been awesome? Hmph, that damned Machinery Hivemind, just now … "
The next day, Grimm's group of six gathered together to discuss the following arrangements.
Lafite leaned lazily on Grimm and sighed. "I originally planned to participate in the third secret realm, but after thinking about it carefully last night, I think it's still too much."
Robin held the Flame Fusion Bead in her hands. The Flame Fusion Bead was very dazzling and beautiful under the sunlight. Robin's eyes sparkled, and without turning her head, she said, "Big Sister Lafite, actually, I think that the third secret realm itself might have been specially designed by the academy's higher-ups for those Desperado. It's the right choice for us to not participate …"
Suddenly, Robin seemed to realize something and could not help but look at Grimm. "Grimm, you …"
Of course, Grimm knew what Robin wanted to say. He frowned and said, "I want to go and take a look."
For a moment, the other five looked at Grimm. The atmosphere was a little quiet and oppressive.
Lafite said awkwardly, "Grimm, the third secret realm is too dangerous. Although you contributed greatly in obtaining this Flame Fusion Bead, it is still a treasure shared by the entire team. I can't just hand it over to you for your own benefit."
Chris interrupted Lafite and said, "What are you talking about, Big Sis? Among us, Clint is the only one who can attempt the third Hidden Realm. The Infernal Fusion Bead will be more effective if he carries it with him. Don't tell me that without the Infernal Fusion Bead, we won't be able to survive the remaining 20 days?"
Robinson, Robin, and Anna quickly said, "That's right."
Lafite's face darkened, and she said coldly, "Although Grimm is my lover, I can't let him harm the interests of the entire team. As the team leader, I have to make this clear. He has indeed contributed greatly to the team, but we can't let everyone here give up the opportunity to survive the next 20 days peacefully just because of this! "
Lafite's resolute and merciless words made the others feel awkward, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.
Grimm knew Lafite's difficulty, so he said indifferently, "It's okay. I'm just going to try. If it really doesn't work, I won't force myself. After all, a wizard apprentice like me who relies on magic-channeled devices is still far from those who are in despair trained by real wizards … "
Lafite bit her fingertips, leaning against Grimm, and her body was a little stiff. She seemed to be thinking about something.
After a while, Lafite took out a leaf emitting rich life energy from the pouch on her waist and handed it to Grimm. She said in a low voice, "This is a leaf from the Tree of Life. The five of us spent a lot of time saving magic stones to buy one. Although it's the lowest grade, it should be of some use to you during critical times."
Grimm was a little hesitant. He didn't know whether he should accept this leaf or not.
"Take it. This is the team's compensation for your loss. With this Blazing Fusion Bead, we won't have to use this leaf in this trial. It's worth it for you. "
Lafite's tone was not to be rejected.
Grimm saw that the others were rushing him, so he nodded and took the leaf.
For the next few days, Grimm and the others decided to set up a temporary camp on the flat ground of the secret plane. With the Blazing Fusion Bead and their strength, they were very confident.
As for the altar and the six rune pillars in this secret realm, after the Flame Fusion Bead was taken away, just like the room in the first secret realm, they disappeared due to some kind of large-scale space-distorting energy.
Grimm and the others didn't have the mood to 'hunt' anymore. It seemed that they just wanted to spend the rest of the trial in peace. For a moment, this small camp became a secluded place in the trial grounds.
… …
A few days later.
On this day, as a wave of mana swept through the entire trial grounds, seven strange giant totem pillars slowly rose from the ground in the center of the trial grounds map. These totem pillars were more than ten meters tall and three to four meters thick. They seemed to contain some special energy.
The seven Despairing Ones — Undying, Distorted, KingTong, Sun's Child, Charm, Machinery Hivemind, and Ghost Thief — seemed to have known that this was where the third trial of the secret plane would open, and had already gathered here.
Sun's Child's body emitted astonishing flames and heat. She seemed to be the most arrogant and domineering of the seven. What was surprising was that this Sun's Child was actually a rather enchanting beauty. The clothes she wore were pitifully few, as if ordinary clothes had long been burned to ashes by the flames and heat emitted from her body.
Sun's Child glanced at Bionna. Because of the previous friction and collisions, the two of them no longer saw eye to eye with each other. However, at this moment, they were both sneering at each other. It was unknown what this sneer meant.
After glancing at each other, the seven of them seemed to have reached some kind of invisible rule. With their respective academies as the unit, they directly spread out in several directions, and then emitted their astonishing imprint waves without any scruples.
The moment the imprint waves were emitted, the other six were all fine, with the standard imprint values of over 30. Only Sun's Child, with the release of her imprint value, instantly emitted an appalling and powerful imprint wave, which had already reached 100, which actually swept over an area of 300 meters.
At this moment, the other Despairing Ones seemed to have become the supporting characters of Sun's Child!
Bionna's face was extremely ugly. She furtively glanced at the proud, overbearing, and arrogant Sun's Child in the distant sky, and asked Kyrie in a low voice, "Kyrie, that Grimm you mentioned, that Ashen Mask that the Machinery Hivemind mentioned, can he really reach the level of us Despairing Ones?"
Unconsciously, facing the flattery and fear of others, these Despairing Ones, who were originally just Wizarding Apprentices, had begun to like their title of Despairing Ones and had gotten used to calling each other this way.
Kyrie was gently playing with the ears of a white mouse in his hand, and the mouse was also playing with it. Kyrie did not raise his head and replied, "Didn't I tell you that in terms of defense, even Sun's Child won't be able to do anything to that guy in a short time?"
"Then … doesn't that mean that there will be another opponent in the qualifying match in 17 years?"
Bionna's face was ugly. She hesitated and said, "If that's the case, I'd rather swallow my anger right now …"
Kyrie said, "Don't worry. The reason why Ashen Mask is so strong now is because of that mask-type magic tool."
Kyrie sneered, "And this kind of magic tool is already the top magic tool for Wizarding Apprentices. It's impossible for him to get a more powerful magic tool. If he wants to rely on that mask, he won't be able to compete in the qualifying match in 17 years.
And … do you think he'll be safe and sound when he returns to the academy? "
Sam's indifferent eyes showed a trace of pity. He said, "If what you said is true, that Grimm's teacher gave him such a powerful magic tool in private and he used it so openly, the punishment he will face when he returns to the academy will not be a joke. Even his teacher will not be able to bear it."
Hearing this, Bionna was finally relieved. She smiled and said, "If that's the case, then I'm relieved. Hehe, then let's stick to the previous plan and let Glenn take over that woman's position. Let's see if she still dares to challenge our Black Isotta Black Sorcerer Academy and call herself the number one sorcerer-apprentice in this world, hmph … "
Kyrie shook his head and said carelessly, "She's just the one with the strongest attack energy. Not to mention Sam's immortal body, even that …"
Kyrie pointed at the Ghost Stealer in the distance and said, "With his ability to use poison, he is definitely capable of killing the Son of the Sun."
On the other side, Sun's Child sneered in a low voice, "KingTong? Hmph, a mere Manifestation Innate Talent without the ability to grow could only bully Sorcerer-Apprentices and newcomers here. I guess that Ashen Mask is your trump card, right? Humph … "
Saying this, Sun's Child took out two Flame Fusion Beads and played with them casually!
In the distance, the Machinery Hivemind and the Charm Bead had strong energy fluctuations. It seemed that they were killing other apprentices …
