The Dark Crypt had always been a place of trouble.
Although no one deliberately spread the news, by the next morning, almost the entire Magus Tower was shocked by a terrifying piece of news that spread like a plague.
A newly promoted Intermediate Sorcerer-Apprentice had defeated Toriel, the Wharton Family's most promising candidate to become an official Sorcerer in a fair one-on-one battle. As soon as this news came out, countless Sorcerer-Apprentices scoffed at it.
In the Sorcerer World, even within the same rank, there was only a difference of one or two ranks. The difference in strength was so huge that it left people speechless. Some busybodies had once calculated that a Prospective Sorcerer could easily withstand the attacks of two or three high-level Sorcerers in a normal battle, and could also withstand the attacks of two or more intermediate Sorcerers.
Therefore, when they first heard this news, most people only thought it was a cheap lie by the Wharton Family's enemies to smear their name. But as this' rumor 'became more and more intense, many people who were close to the elite Sorcerers swore that it was all true.
Hence, the entire Gloom Crypt Magus Tower's acolyte circle exploded in an instant!
Countless junior and high-level Sorcerers spread the news, searching everywhere for the real version of the 'rumor'. Soon, all the information gathered pointed to an unfamiliar name, Grim. Thus, more information related to Grim was dug out.
For example, when Grim first came to the Dark Crypt, he was still a junior Sorcerer. For example, when he first entered the underground world, he killed the terrifying Devil's Vine Lady and obtained the head of a Fallen Sorcerer. For example, when he was invited to join the training camp, he defeated two high-level Elite Sorcerers in a row …
When this series of results was pieced together, all the Sorcerers who heard it were inexplicably shocked.
How … How was this possible?
Everyone was very familiar with the strength of apprentices who had just entered the ranks of intermediate Sorcerers. At this stage, their strength was the most awkward, usually only having two or three offensive spells. The more powerful ones would be able to grasp a defensive spell in advance, but ordinary intermediate acolytes would need a long time to grasp their first defensive spell in their lives.
With this kind of strength, it was like the difference between a five- or six-year-old toddler and a youth who was about to reach adulthood when compared to a high-level Apprentice or a Quasi Sorcerer who was about to reach the peak of Apprentice. Oftentimes, such a difference in strength could no longer be made up for with skills and experience.
However, they soon found out that this incredible Grim was most likely a talented Puppet Master who could control many powerful Voodoo Puppets above his level. As soon as this news came out, the few rare puppeteers in the apprentice circle immediately felt honored. Even the way they talked and walked was much more energetic than before.
Little did they know that while they were talking about the Puppet Master, Grimm had already brought Mary and Kaby into the depths of the dark crypt, following the route they had explored last time towards the ruins of the Wizard Tower.
To be honest, although Grimm had a lot of plans and schemes for this treasure hunt, his opponent was a Magus rank magical creature. It was hard to tell if his plans and schemes would work.
Riding on the demon crocodile hunter, the three of them gathered together and repeatedly checked the mission given to them. In order to get past the demon flower spirit, not only was Grimm under a lot of pressure, but he had also given Mary and Kaby an extremely important mission.
Grimm was the main force in the battle, and his existence was to attract the attention of others. Only by luring the terrifying flower spirit away from the entrance of the ruins would Mary and Kaby have a chance to sneak in and find the body of the flower spirit.
Only by cutting off the spiritual connection between the flower spirit and the body could Grimm have a chance to defeat it. Otherwise, even if Grimm sacrificed all of his magic puppets, he would not be able to win against a complete version of the flower spirit.
Perhaps it was because the previous lesson was too painful, the gnolls outside the ruins had all disappeared. This surprised Grimm, who had planned to eliminate the periphery first.
When the demon crocodile hunter once again arrived in front of the demonized forest, Mary and the green-skinned goblin Kaby were so surprised that they could not close their mouths. The same scene might not be rare on the surface of the earth, but how could the two of them, who were already used to the desolation and loneliness of the underground world, not be astonished to see such a large, lush forest almost twenty miles below the surface of the earth!
"Go. Remember your mission. Once the flower spirit leaves, you must move fast. I can't hold it for long! "Grimm could not help but remind them before they parted.
Mary's pretty face revealed a sweet smile. Her slender figure leapt into the air and instantly turned into a palm-sized red bat, flapping into the forest.
Grimm had nothing to worry about when it came to Mary. Whether it was her strength as a high-grade Vampire or her newly acquired charm talent, they were the biggest guarantee for her survival, especially the latter. In this chaotic demonized forest, as long as she did not take the initiative to attack the enemy, ordinary magical creatures and plants would not take the initiative to attack her.
This charm talent could transcend race, gender, faction, and other factors, and directly affect the subconscious of intelligent beings. It was said to be the best talent for treasure hunting in the wild. It was said that the advancement of many special professions required the talent of charm as a foundation.
At this moment, Kaby was covered in tattered leather armor, an old cloak on his back that complemented his figure. He held the short wooden stick that had always accompanied him.
"Master, don't worry. I'll do my best to complete the mission!" Kaby bowed respectfully and jumped off the demon crocodile. He moved his two short legs and quickly disappeared into the depths of the forest.
Although the demonized forest was dangerous, for a small goblin who had mastered invisibility and camouflage, the low-grade magical creatures were not enough to threaten his life. Besides, with Mary looking after him in the dark, even if the magical creatures discovered him, they would only be 'lucky' and lose their lives.
Once his two companions disappeared, Grimm put away the demon crocodile hunter and released the 2 points of spiritual force that had been used. He needed the strongest combat power for the next battle, so every bit of spiritual force was precious and could not be wasted.
After adjusting his spiritual force, Grimm did not hesitate to summon a Lightning Giant and a Rock Python. Maintaining the existence of the Lightning Giant required 7 points of spiritual force, and maintaining a Rock Python required 3 points of spiritual force. Grimm now had 13.25 points of spiritual force (including the noble headband + 1 point of spiritual force), which was enough for him to summon another Rock Python or Water Man.
This was already the strongest combat combination that Grimm could achieve after pushing himself to the limit.
However, considering that the environment here could not display the strongest combat power of the new Water Man, Grimm was more inclined to the former.
As soon as the Lightning Giant appeared, the vast underground space was filled with the rumbling of thunder. Surrounded by crackling lightning storms, the Lightning Giant opened its bright eyes and floated more than 10 meters in the air. It took the lead and rushed into the demonized forest.
Grimm gritted his teeth, tidied up his equipment, and followed behind the Lightning Giant without looking back. The huge Rock Python dragged its heavy body and slowly swam behind Grimm, guarding against any possible attacks from behind.
One man and two beasts slowly walked in the demonized forest.
Grimm didn't even need to bother clearing the bushes and vines along the way. When the Lightning Giant's huge body floated over, all the plants that got too close to it would be turned into ashes by the sudden Thunderstorm. Even the small animals hiding in the dense forest were no exception! As long as the Lightning Giant sensed any life force, it would strike down with lightning.
With the Lightning Giant's strength at the peak of the Quasi-Wizard level, even those strong Iron Armor Rhinoceroses could not withstand its lightning, not to mention these small magical creatures that were only known for their strange abilities and stealth abilities!
The Lightning Giant crushed everything in its way!
Everywhere it passed, everything in the world turned into ashes. Even the ground was full of cracks caused by the lightning strikes!
Although the magical creatures wanted to protect the source of their power, when the largest group of wolves were destroyed in front of the Lightning Giant, they finally knew fear and began to run away from the messenger of hell that could bring them death.
In front of the ruins of the wizard tower that Grimm had arrived at last, the hazy and beautiful figure of Hua Ling slowly emerged.
She gazed at the rolling dark clouds that gathered above the forest in the distance. From time to time, dazzling lightning would strike down, followed by the continuous rumbling of thunder. Although she could not see the number of enemies yet, the power of the summoned lightning clouds made Hua Ling frown. She could not make a decision.
Looking at the direction the lightning clouds were moving, they were heading straight for this place.
If these outsiders were allowed to spread the flames of war here, it would probably cause immeasurable damage to the underground source of life. Therefore, a determined look appeared on Hua Ling's beautiful face. She grabbed at the air, and the magic bow that had accompanied her since she was born appeared in her hand.
Following Hua Ling's murmur, the magical plants around the ruins began to grow and spread wildly. Soon, the lush plants covered the hidden entrance of the ruins.
