"Well, I'm making the final preparations. I'm about to leave …"
Sorcerer Shanyuan's eyes were slightly dazed as he murmured. It was as if he had been preparing for this day for too long and had experienced too much.
"Master Shanyuan can summon a hundred thousand strands of the power of Serpentine, Grimm."
On the other side, Johann's eyes were filled with admiration as he spoke.
A hundred thousand strands of the power of Serpentine meant that he had hunted a hundred thousand sea serpent's pearls, or thousands of creatures of the level that had attacked Grimm previously. After killing them, he had absorbed their power of Serpentine.
As such, Grimm could not help but reveal a trace of admiration in his eyes.
…
The Eye of Destruction had arrived once again.
Its existence was like the sun of the Sorcerers World. It was the brief time that this Spectral World had experienced another day, or it could be said that it was the unique rule of this Spectral World.
The Phagocytic Shells that filled the sky opened, and the sea serpent's pearls slid along their blood-colored tails as they patrolled. At this moment, all the sorcerers present had their eyes focused on Shanyuan, their eyes filled with yearning and blessings.
"Such real emotions, are they really just illusions?"
Grimm suspected that he was not in some illusion of deception, but had actually arrived at a certain Spectral World.
With such uncertainty, it was even more impossible for Grimm to escape the illusion by committing suicide.
Shanyuan raised his head and looked at the awe-inspiring Eye of Destruction in the sky, as if it was the true ruler that could cross any rule of the Endless World!
The creatures on Mount Serpentine had gradually gotten used to the aura of the Eye of Destruction, or rather, they had adapted to this rule. It had become a part of this Spectral World.
"Grandmaster Grandalph, Grenbell, Amir, Kirouz, Johann … Grimm."
After Shanyuan had read the names of all the sorcerers present, he looked up at the sky that was gradually beginning to weaken, looked at the sea serpent's pearls that were beginning to return to the Phagocytic Shells, and looked at the creatures of the Endless World that were vaguely trying to hunt the sea serpent's pearls in the distance on Mount Serpentine. He laughed.
"I'm leaving!"
Shanyuan laughed heartily and soared into the sky. The rolling power of Serpentine was like a flame that was separated from the torch of Mount Serpentine, rushing towards the weakened Eye of Destruction that was about to close!
This was Sang Yuan's all-out charge without any hesitation.
If he succeeded, he would live and have a one in a thousand chance of returning to the Sorcerer World. If he failed, he would die and be completely turned into ashes by the Eye of Destruction.
Xiu!
Sangyuan's goal was to take advantage of the Eye of Destruction's weakest moment to rush out of this illusory world and into the Endless World where the Eye of Destruction was.
Crackle!
Compared to the Eye of Destruction, Sangyuan, who was burning with the power of Serpentine for dozens of meters, was almost negligible. Just as everyone was wondering if Sangyuan had succeeded, a dark red lightning suddenly streaked across the sky.
It seemed like Shengyuan had stimulated the Eye of Destruction.
The Eye of Destruction in the sky that was about to close suddenly became restless again. Not only did it open again, but it also widened and twisted desperately in the sky, as if it was going to descend into the maze of the sea serpent in the next moment!
Along with the irritation of the Eye of Destruction, the sea serpent's pearls also began to become irritable. A large number of sea serpent's pearls began to fly in groups and inadvertently broke into Mount Serpentine. However, when they rushed into the range of the power of Serpentine, they lost their strength and fell to the ground one after another.
The sea serpent's pearls that had fallen on Mount Serpentine were like fish on the shore, struggling helplessly.
It took longer than any time for it to descend.
After a few hourglasses, the Eye of Destruction slowly closed, and the restless sea serpent's pearls in the sky returned to the Phagocytic Shells.
"Sigh … a hundred thousand power of Serpentine."
As Grandalph sighed, Grimm already knew the result. Along with the sorcerers around him, he collected the sea serpent's pearls that had fallen on Mount Serpentine one after another.
It was an indescribable melancholy.
Unlike the other sorcerers, Grimm was not busy collecting the sea serpent's pearls. Instead, after collecting two, he returned to Grandalph's side.
"Master, I wonder if I can take a look at the altar of the Spring of Serpentine in the deepest part of the cave?"
What Grimm was referring to was the place where the Spring of Serpentine was obtained after sacrificing the sea serpent's pearls.
"Of course!"
…
It seemed to be a huge altar formed naturally, or it could be said that it represented some of the laws of this Spectral World. Grimm stood in front of the altar and observed it carefully, hoping to find something.
Hundreds of sea serpent's pearls were placed on the altar, which were collected by many sorcerers.
At this moment, these sea serpent's pearls were terrified and kept struggling, but to no avail. Their bodies gradually merged into the altar and disappeared without a trace.
Drip!
After absorbing the sea serpent's pearls, big drops of water flowed out from the center of the altar and dripped down.
These were the Spring of Serpentine. When the water from the Spring of Serpentine fell to the ground, it splashed and condensed together, slowly freezing into an ice crystal.
"Hmm?"
Grimm held a piece of Spring of Serpentine ice crystal in his hand, feeling puzzled.
"Because the outside temperature is lower than the inside, it condenses into ice after flowing out? Or does it not follow the ice elemental laws of the Endless World at all, and is a new elemental system law? "
Grimm touched the altar with his hands, lying on top of it, listening with his ears, sniffing with his nose, and even licking with his tongue. He did not get any deeper clues about this altar that seemed to be one with Mount Serpentine.
This showed the importance of the Mask of Truth!
People were too easily deceived by the appearance of things and could not explore the deep essence of the rules of things.
"Hehe, did you find anything?"
The old witch Grandalph asked with a smile as she collected the Spring of Serpentine.
Grimm shook his head regretfully.
After handing over the two portions of Spring of Serpentine that belonged to Grimm, the old witch said, "If you want to leave this Spectral World, you must rely on the power of Serpentine. I see that you have been hesitating. It seems that you do not intend to use the power of Serpentine?"
The old witch left the secret chamber.
Grimm clenched his teeth and was about to leave after a sigh when he suddenly thought of something. He took out the Wizard Coin, fiddled with it in his hand and threw it into the sky.
With a "ding", the Wizard Coin landed on the altar. It was on the reverse side.
Grimm picked up the Wizard Coin and threw it again. With a "ding", it was on the reverse side this time.
After repeating the process for a hundred times, Grimm finally put away the Sorcerer Coin. His eyes were glowing with a glimmer of hope!
"Forty-eight times on the reverse side and fifty-two times on the reverse side. The more times I throw, the closer the number of times I get to the reverse side and the number of times I throw it! There is a balanced law of the Endless World here, it's just that my perception is deceived!? "
Grimm took a deep breath.
"In other words, this is actually within the scope of the Endless World, not some Spectral World. Everything that happened is real, it's just that some of my perception is deceived? Or perhaps, some of the things that my perception is doing are actually not what I'm actually doing? "
Uncontrollably, Grimm thought of the First Acraepoid King of the Infernal Spirit World.
The First Acraepoid King summoned the power of the Eternal Spring and the Eternal Dominator to kill the Darkborne Infernal God. This kind of turmoil caused Grimm to briefly look up at the situation when the Meteorite Swarm swooped down towards the Dark Destroyer Kingdom.
After that, Grimm naturally summoned the Black Iso Tower Stigmata Sorcerer to ask about the cause of the matter.
From this, he also learned some advanced sorcerer knowledge from the Black Iso Tower Stigmata Sorcerer. This was advanced knowledge that belonged to mental illusions, perception deception.
There was no construction of mental illusions, nor was there any Spectral World. It was just an illusion created by unknowingly deceiving the enemy's specific perception in the real world.
At that time, after the First Acraepoid King was deceived by the Black Iso Tower Stigmata Sorcerer, the cognition of the Darkborne Infernal God and the Black Iso Tower Stigmata Sorcerer was swapped, which led to the tragedy of the fall of a World Lord of the Infernal Spirit World.
The Black Iso Tower Stigmata Sorcerer even said to Grimm without hesitation. This turned out to be the ability that he once obtained from the Thousand-eyed Carcinus.
The Thousand-eyed Carcinus had a total of two abilities.
The first was to perceive the gaze of others, and the second was to confuse the perception of other creatures, which then produced the effect of attacking the surrounding randomly.
Now, Grimm could not help but suspect that he had been hit by a similar ability, just to an even greater extent!
This was also the only way to explain why, according to Grimm's judgment, the Spring of Serpentine had the harm of mental pollution, and why only the Eye of Destruction was his way out of this Spectral World.
He also constantly warned himself in his consciousness that he must not stay awake after leaving Mount Serpentine too far when the Eye of Destruction arrived.
The entire purpose of this Spectral World was to carefully weave a deception, to make all the creatures that fell into it go all out to hunt the sea serpent's pearls and place them on this altar.
Under the Mask of Truth, Grimm's eyes seemed to have seen a ray of light.
If all these deductions were true …
