The lush branches of the Tree of Life pierced through the clouds!
Even though Grimm had experienced several Demon-Hunting Expeditions and witnessed some unique forms of foreign life forms, he had never seen an incredibly large life form like the Tree of Life.
Riding on the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft, Grimm traversed through the main trunk of the Tree of Life and arrived at his new Demon-Hunter Castle.
With a click, the hatch of the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft opened, and the Demon-Hunter Castle, thousands of meters above the Tree of Life, appeared before Grimm's eyes.
Strong winds blew.
Looking down at the vast expanse of Demon-Hunter castles that were separated by small streams and stone roads, low-altitude mechanical aircrafts, Sorcerers in a hurry, and slave monsters coming and going in an endless stream, Grimm suddenly felt a sense of power in his heart.
"The Starfall Reconnaissance Craft! A Rank-1 Honor Badge! You're the new owner of this Demon-Hunter Castle? "
On the rooftop of another Demon-Hunter Castle, there was a giant python with golden scales that was tens of meters long. On the giant python's body, a Sorcerer in a purple robe was patiently using magic ink to outline Magic Prohibitions on each of the giant python's scales.
This seemed to be a rather successful high-grade chimera, and Grimm could feel that it had the aura of a Level-3 creature!
"Hello, I'm Grimm."
Grimm's Demon-Hunter Castle was built on a small protruding branch of the Tree of Life, but a small branch of the Tree of Life was enough to build a Demon-Hunter Castle on.
There were two neighbors next to Grimm's Demon-Hunter Castle, and three Demon-Hunter Castles were built on the same branch of the Tree of Life.
Each Demon-Hunter Castle had five floors, and was much larger and wider than the Level-1 Demon-Hunter Castles on the ground.
"Hehe, as expected of a newcomer assigned to this Demon-Hunter Castle, to be able to obtain a Rank-1 Honor Badge while still a Level-1 Sorcerer. Looks like there's another strong competitor in the Holy Tower of Seven Rings' leaderboard in the future."
The Sorcerer in a purple robe flew near Grimm, and with a faint smile, his eyes were extremely serious as he introduced, "Everyone calls me the Golden-Scaled Old Monster, and the reason is naturally because of this chimera of mine."
The Sorcerer was naturally referring to the Golden-Scaled Giant Python at the top of the Demon-Hunter Castle.
Golden-scaled old monster?
This nickname was somewhat similar to Grimm's Ashen Mask during his time as a Sorcerer-Apprentice. It could be assumed that after he had made a name for himself, he had unknowingly been given a nickname by others to help him remember.
His withered white long hair actually had a somewhat elegant feeling. The Golden Scaled Old Monster's face was full of wrinkles. Although he was smiling at Grimm, Grimm could feel the coldness of a snake in the depths of his deep eyes.
In the meantime …
On one hand, Grimm was observing the Golden Scaled Old Monster, and on the other hand, the Golden Scaled Old Monster was also observing Grimm.
However, when the golden-scaled old monster was fifteen meters away from Grimm, he instinctively stopped and no longer dared to take another step closer!
An indescribable deterrence, like a bottomless dark abyss, emanated from Grimm's body unconsciously. The wild violence was mixed with the restlessness that could destroy the world, but it was forcibly suppressed under the layer of extremely cold rationality. The mysterious, semi-illusory fluctuations made the Golden-scaled Old Freak feel somewhat unreal.
This guy … I'm afraid he's a monster even more terrifying than Bloodshadow!
Two black flames burned in the two sunken eye sockets of the Sabbatic Goat Staff, and under the black aura that lingered around his body was a translucent Sorcerer's robe that seemed to actively distort the surrounding light, giving people a dreamy and unreal feeling. Under the spiral pattern of the grayish-white mask, a pair of elemental eyes were deep and calm, and he actually had a feeling that he was completely naked and completely penetrated.
Whether it was the magic fluctuations of the Sorcerer's artifact outside, or the nature of the Elemental Sorcerer, or the evolutionary level of cellular life, Grimm made the Golden Scaled Old Monster feel an impeccable sense of oppression, as if the one standing in front of him was not Grimm, but a giant looking down at him.
This new Sorcerer was really too scary …
This guy would definitely become the focus of attention on the Holy Tower of Seven Rings' ranking in the future!
"Grandmaster Golden Scaled, you flatter me. I've only heard about the Holy Tower of Seven Rings' ranking, but I've never come in contact with it. Rumor has it that every hundred years, the top three of this ranking will have the opportunity to receive the Holy Tower of Seven Rings' item of time as a reward, which will assist them in advancing to Level-3 Great Sorcerers. Although I'm eager for the reward, I also know that there are many crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the Tree of Life. Who knows how many talented Sorcerers are vying for and secretly peeping at the Level-2 Sorcerers. I'm just one of them. "
After the polite modesty, Grimm was quiet, and suddenly asked in a deep voice, "What's the difference between the Sorcerers who can be assigned to the Demon-Hunter Castles here?"
The so-called "Demon-Hunter Castles here" referred to the Demon-Hunter Castles on the branches of the Tree of Life.
Because the Demon-Hunter Expeditions of the Void Fortress often had to pass through the canopy of the Tree of Life, the canopy would open and close from time to time, so it was not suitable for building Demon-Hunter Castles. Most Demon-Hunter Castles were built on the cliffs between the gaps of the tree trunk, and very few Demon-Hunter Castles were built on the branches of the tree trunk.
The Golden Scaled Old Freak smiled, revealing a trace of pride.
"There are a total of one hundred and thirty-seven branches on the main trunk of the Tree of Life, and there are no more than a thousand Demon-Hunter Castles built on it. The Level-2 Sorcerers who can be assigned to the Demon-Hunter Castles here must be Demon-Hunter Sorcerers who have great potential in the Holy Tower of Seven Rings!"
While the Golden Scaled Old Freak praised Grimm, he was also praising himself. When he was first assigned here, he must have been recognized by the Holy Tower of Seven Rings as a Demon-Hunter Sorcerer with great potential.
"And my nickname, the Golden Scaled Old Freak, was given by the losers after I fought for the 77th place of the Holy Tower of Seven Rings four hundred years ago. I believe that with your strength, you are willing to fight for the Holy Tower of Seven Rings' ranking within a hundred years. You will definitely be able to cause a wave and obtain a title that belongs to you. "
Grimm did not answer.
Perhaps it was too difficult for him to advance from Level-1 to Level-2 Sorcerer, or it was because of the Strings of Time given by the Hourglass Stigmata Sorcerer, but the most likely reason was that Grimm had completed the Destructive Force, the qualitative energy control that a Level-4 Sorcerer needed. The advancement to Level-3 Sorcerer seemed to be …
It seemed to be just a thin layer of paper!
All Grimm needed to do was to get used to the accumulation of Level-2 Sorcerer's knowledge and naturally break through this layer of paper.
The Golden Scaled Old Freak pointed to a Demon-Hunter Castle on the other side of Grimm's Demon-Hunter Castle.
"Over there is Bloodshadow's Demon-Hunter Castle, a Sorcerer who advanced three hundred years ago. His strength is very terrifying, and now he is competing for the Holy Tower of Seven Rings' ranking with all his strength for this hundred years. Now he is ranked eighteenth in the Holy Tower of Seven Rings' ranking."
Eighteenth?
Being given the title of Bloodshadow, Grimm could not help but think of the Evil Blood Dreadlord of the Magnetite World's Demon-Hunting Expedition that had just ended.
"Haha, well, compared to Level-1 Sorcerers, Level-2 Sorcerers have a lot more convenience, and they also pursue more competition. After all, after advancing to Level-2 Sorcerers, it is not so easy to fall in the Demon-Hunting Expedition, and the faces around you have gradually begun to become fixed."
Grimm nodded in deep thought. It was indeed so.
