There was still some time before the arrival of the Eye of Destruction. Grimm patrolled the area near the Sorcerer's Cave where he found traces of foreign creatures.
Once, this was the shared responsibility of Grimm, Johann, and Grandalph.
He touched the bloodstains on the ground. In the eyes of others, perhaps it was just a bloodstain left behind by the injured cub. However, in Grimm's eyes, there were traces of burnt red fur all over Mount Serpentine.
This was the innate burning power of the mucus on the surface of this race's body.
From the bloodstains, Grimm found a small piece of burnt oracle bone. This should be left behind by a foreign creature that invaded the territory. It was similar to a human's fingernail.
Even though this piece of oracle bone was burnt to a crisp, Grimm could still feel the lingering sharpness on it.
"What is it?"
Grimm could not determine the creature's form from these few clues. It should be a new species that Grimm had not seen on Mount Serpentine.
Raising his head, he watched as the whirlpool in the gray sky gradually stopped. Grimm took a deep breath and boldly walked forward, continuing to search for traces of the creature.
He could not allow this invading creature to attack other cubs.
Every time the creature killed a cub, it would reduce Grimm's future income from the Blood of the Tainted Eye. This was Grimm's enemy!
Patiently, Grimm patrolled the area like a lion patrolling its territory.
It was very common to patrol the territory of foreign creatures like this. Most of the creatures that attacked other creatures were just passing by, or foreign experts who were on a killing spree. A few of them were like Grimm, trying to kill them all in one fell swoop.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, an extremely fast shadow attacked Grimm.
However, this creature could not even kill a cub in one blow. Therefore, Grimm judged that this creature was not a powerful one.
Bam!
As the Sabbatic Goat Staff met the attack, black scales appeared on Grimm's body.
Borrowing the force of the impact, Grimm's body fell back due to inertia. Under the Mask of Truth, his eyes looked at this foreign world creature that was slightly shorter than him. He couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
It was an Acraepoid, wielding a mantis-like forelimb as the blade of a sword.
It seemed that this Acraepoid had also lost the ability of the Infernal Blade?
For the Acraepoids, the loss of the Infernal Blade was not as severe as the loss of a sorcerer's ability to sense the law of balance, but it was still shocking.
According to Grimm's judgment, this Acraepoid was a Level Two creature. Currently, its strength was pitiful, and it could only borrow a small amount of the power of Serpentine.
"Wild Instinct Level 1, activate!"
Grimm's violent and wild body continued to fight against the Acraepoid. Without the high-density shockwave ability of the Sabbatic Goat Staff, as well as the repulsive and attractive forces and other witchcraft bonuses, Grimm's strength was also greatly reduced.
In the Endless World, Grimm was just an ordinary level-1 creature.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Both sides fought fiercely, but Grimm had no intention of activating the second level of Wild Instinct.
Grimm was calm and collected, as if victory was within his grasp.
Compared to the weakness after activating the second level of Wild Instinct, Grimm preferred the feeling of a true elemental sorcerer filled with power. The reality was too intoxicating …
Grimm could not help but look at the whirlpool in the sky from the corner of his eyes.
As expected, two thick red beams of light grabbed towards the infinitely large Phagocytic Shells, once again opening the entrance to the maze of the sea serpent. The fascinating Awakening Ray of the lord of the sea serpent's pearls lit up the interlayer between reality and illusion.
The endless sea serpent's pearls of the Phagocytic Shells were awakened and chased each other in the sky.
Grimm felt the weak law of balance. After forcing the Acraepoid back with one blow, he suddenly smiled mysteriously under the Mask of Truth. He mobilized the force of nature and slowly flew into the sky, out of the range of the power of Serpentine of Mount Serpentine.
The Acraepoid looked up at Grimm in shock, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Grimm was surrounded by a group of chasing sea serpent's pearls. The thick Awakening Ray shone on Grimm. It was an indescribable state between illusion and reality. The two horns of the Sabbatic Goat Staff in Grimm's hand shot out two elemental forces, one ice and one fire. They blended perfectly with each other and formed a dark red energy ball.
"Heeheehee, Explosive Flame!"
Boom!
A dark red beam of light instantly penetrated the protective layer of the power of Serpentine from the sky and landed on Mount Serpentine, completely drowning the Acraepoid. There was no way to stop it. A mushroom-shaped sea of fire with a diameter of fifty meters spread out.
The rolling flames burned the Acraepoid into ashes. It did not even have time to scream before it turned into nothingness, leaving no trace behind.
It was completely annihilated by the destructive force of the Explosive Flame.
An attack of nearly six thousand degrees. Not to mention this Acraepoid, most level-three creatures would not be able to withstand it.
Grimm's level of power, when compared to the giant monster that killed Grandalph who could summon hundreds of thousands of Power of Serpentine, seemed to be a long way off. He could barely be considered as one of the top creatures on Mount Serpentine.
As for Mount Serpentine itself, this level of attack did not have any effect at all. The stone under the red hair did not even leave a mark.
Suppressing the joy in his heart, Grimm cleared his mind.
Although the power was strong, it did not belong to him. It was just an illusion. He must not indulge in this illusion.
Since the foreign creatures that invaded his territory had been killed, there was no reason for Grimm to stay any longer. He flew back to the sorcerer's cave. It was more important to study the secrets of the Awakening Ray.
If his guess was right, the value of this Awakening Ray was probably comparable to the Great Sword of Eternity that the First Acraepoid King once summoned. Maybe it was slightly lower, but it was still an irresistible temptation to the World Lords.
With Grimm's current level, although he could not use that high-level power, and even if he carried it with him, it would still be a burden. However, it did not hinder its value and could be used for trading!
As long as he could obtain a real Awakening Ray, it would not matter even if there was no hope of obtaining the "Infernal Spirit Scripture" when he returned to the Infernal Spirit World …
By then, Grimm would have the complete initiative!
In the eyes of the Stigmata Sorcerers, a ray of Awakening Ray from the Eternal Dominator was more valuable than the "Infernal Spirit Scripture" that could already be mixed with coal. Even if Grimm only chose to exchange the knowledge of the "Infernal Spirit Scripture", its value would far exceed that.
Moreover, Grimm could completely give up on the "Infernal Spirit Scripture". In the future, when Grimm became a Stigmata Sorcerer, an Awakening Ray would be enough to become Grimm's real trump card.
…
Unknowingly, more than a thousand days of arrival of the Eye of Destruction had passed.
The status of the sorcerer's cave was still stable.
As the ruler of this cave, Grimm had dozens of subordinates who collected the sea serpent's pearls. This was a fact in the eyes of other creatures from the foreign worlds.
Weak creatures could not resist the power of Grimm, or in other words, the power of Grimm during the arrival of the Ruler of the Sea Serpent's pearls. Powerful creatures or groups generally had their own fixed territories to hunt for the sea serpent's pearls, and would not easily violate the territories of other powerful creatures.
Grimm's life could be considered comfortable.
Before the arrival of the Ruler of the Sea Serpent's pearls, Grimm was deep in the cave, studying the secrets of the Eye of Destruction's absorption of the Awakening Ray. After the arrival of the Ruler of the Sea Serpent's pearls, Grimm flew out of the area covered by the power of Serpentine, relying on the Awakening Ray that the Ruler of the Sea Serpent's pearls unintentionally released to recover his senses.
Long before the arrival of the two hundred days of the Eye of Destruction, Grimm had completely recovered his senses. He was completely confident that he could leave the whirlpool doors that appeared and disappeared from time to time, leading to unknown worlds.
As long as he could leave this world and sense the presence of Little Eight, Grimm was confident that he could return to Little Eight's side.
Regardless of whether Little Eight was in the Infernal Spirit World or had already returned to the Sorcerer World after the Demon-Hunting Expedition.
"Hmm?!"
It seemed to have sensed something.
Grimm suddenly flew out of the cave, looking at the huge shadow in the sky with his goat head and … the Ruler of the Sea Serpent's pearls that was gradually coming to a halt in the sky. He smiled under the Mask of Truth.
"Finally, I can go back."
Grimm flew high into the sky. Perhaps this gigantic creature did not pay any attention to the tiny Grimm. Under normal circumstances, sorcerers were extremely weak in the first place when other creatures sensed them for the first time.
"It's the monster that killed Wizard Grandalph!"
"Wizard Grimm, we can finally avenge Wizard Grandalph!"
Although the hatchlings had begun to mature, they could not help but cry out in grief and indignation.
So many of them had been desperately collecting the Sea Serpent's pearls during the arrival of the Eye of Destruction. Was it not for this moment of glory to avenge their mother?
Grimm looked at the enormous power of Serpent that was inadvertently triggered by the gigantic creature's flapping wings and said with satisfaction, "This power of Serpent should be easier to trigger the Awakening Ray of the Ruler of the Sea Serpent's pearls than Wizard Shanyuan's hundred thousand power of Serpent."
