Relying on the endless stream of fire creatures to defend against the Shadow Army's invasion, Grimm was finally able to deal with the two wretched and cowardly Tier 4 Shadows.
Despite being Tier 4 creatures, the two of them did not have the demeanor of a powerhouse. They hid behind the Tier 3 Shadow Warriors and attacked the ball of light with Shadow Arrows, tearing open a path for the low-level shadow creatures to enter the ball of light.
As for themselves, they did not dare to approach the ball of light!
However, if they thought that they would be safe by hiding further away, they had underestimated Grimm's methods. After all, a Legendary Fire Wizard was famous for his ferocious elemental attacks!
Grimm stood within the ball of fire and sneered. The golden flames in his body began to gather.
At this moment, his eyes seemed to be burning with scarlet flames that were half a meter long. His long black hair hung loosely behind him, and balls of strange flames danced on it. His entire body was wrapped in violent and ferocious flames, constantly emitting shocking light and heat.
"With my anger as the power, Light of Blazing Flames!"
Grimm roared out the incantation to activate a fire spell. His eyes, which were already burning with flames, suddenly lit up with two blinding red rays of light. They then converged into two terrifying beams of light that streaked across the sky, pierced through the army of shadow creatures, and landed on one of the Tier 4 Shadows.
"Ah …"
A mournful howl tore through the clouds.
The Tier 4 Shadow released a thick layer of Frozen Death aura, desperately blocking the beams of light from penetrating its body. It then fled frantically in all directions.
Unfortunately, no matter how fast it fled, it could not outrun Grimm's gaze!
Grimm stood as still as a mountain, looking like a mighty god of fire. His pair of scarlet eyes followed the fleeing shadow as he adjusted the angle and direction of his gaze. No matter how the Shadow tried to escape, the two beams of light were firmly locked onto its body.
The Frozen Death aura and the scarlet light from the Tier 4 Shadow clashed, devouring and destroying each other in a frenzy. But judging from the current situation, it was obvious that the intensity of the crimson rays from Grimm's eyes was a notch higher. While devouring and annihilating the freezing air of death, they were also corroding Shadow's body and inching closer to the dark core within the half-real, half-incorporeal body.
The Dark Core was where the soul and consciousness of creatures like Ghastly Shadow resided.
Once this place was destroyed, even if Shadow was a Grade 4 monster, it would be hard for him to survive!
As a result, the Tier 4 Shadow was scared out of its wits, fleeing for its life.
Shadow Leap, Shadow Shuttle, Darkness Substitution, Shadow Clone … A series of darkness-attributed spells were cast. He would either suddenly flash to another area, swap places with a shadow lifeform, or split into several dozen clones that looked exactly like him.
However, no matter what it did, the two blazing lights seemed to have locked onto it and never left its body.
The cold air of death was actually its body, and the dark core was where its soul was.
Therefore, as the Frozen Death Aura rapidly melted, the shadow's body began to shrink bit by bit until the Frozen Death Aura could no longer wrap around the black jelly-like dark core.
The moment the blazing lights shone on the dark core, the Tier 4 Shadow stopped fleeing. Its entire body began to distort and transform, taking the form of the countless creatures it had devoured before. In the end, with a crisp sound of glass exploding, two small holes were drilled out of the dark core. Countless pale and miserable phantoms of souls escaped from the inside and danced around the shadow in the sky. Then, they dissipated in the air one after another.
[Target has died. Requesting removal of lock.] The A.I. Chip's voice sounded in Grimm's mind.
[Remove lock!]
"Yes!"
If Grimm had relied on himself, it would have been impossible for him to lock onto a Tier 4 Shadow that possessed multiple teleportation abilities from a distance of a kilometre. However, with the help of the A.I. Chip, he could burn a Tier 4 Shadow to death with his golden flames without moving an inch.
His display of invincible might this time had undoubtedly shocked all of his enemies.
The remaining Tier 4 Shadow was scared out of its wits. It no longer dared to approach the blazing ball of fire, shrieking as it fled into the depths of the darkness.
A Tier 4 creature … That was a Tier 4 creature!
Although the strength of a Tier 4 creature could not be compared to that of a true Tier 4 Magus, it was still a Tier 4 creature. Even in a one-on-one fight, most Tier 4 Magi could suppress or defeat a Tier 4 creature, but killing one was extremely difficult.
After all, the basic strength of a Tier 4 creature was clear for all to see.
Although they could not compare to Tier 4 Magi in terms of knowledge, usage, and the popularity of magic equipment, they were not the slightest bit inferior to Tier 4 Magi in terms of their various terrifying abilities.
However, a terrifying Tier 4 Shadow had actually been burned to death by the Legendary Fire Shaman before it could even display most of its power. This … this was too inconceivable!
However, with this, the Legendary Fire Shaman's frightening methods caused all the high-ranked shadow creatures present to feel insecure. They stared at the dazzling ball of light in horror, but they could not see anything inside.
For no reason, the attacks of the high-ranked shadow creatures could not help but weaken, trying their best to not be so eye-catching.
It was a pity that no matter how they tried to hide and disguise themselves, the huge ball of light still fired out terrifying beams of light, incinerating seven or eight Tier 3 Shadow Warriors into a pile of ash.
This kind of behavior caused the Tier 4 Dark Witch Shani, who was overseeing the situation, to feel her heart break.
Although nurturing a high-ranked shadow creature was not as difficult as nurturing a high-ranked Magus, the amount of resources and various rare materials consumed was also extremely shocking. The high-ranked shadow creatures that the Legendary Fire Shaman had slaughtered were all elite subordinates that the Dark Witch faction had spent a lot of effort and resources to nurture.
Now, they had been thrown into this foreign plane for nothing, yet they did not bring any benefits to the family. This … This was an unforgivable waste!
If Shani was the leader of the Dark Witch faction, such extravagant squandering of the family's assets would not attract much criticism. But now, she was not.
At most, she was just a high-ranked Witch sent by the Dark Witch faction to carry out an interplanar hunting mission. The leader had only authorized her to use a portion of the Origin Tower's power and a limited number of the family's private forces.
However, this did not include the heavy losses of the private forces!
Looking at the high-ranked shadow creatures turning to ashes under the crimson light, Shani could almost imagine the terrifying scene of the elders besieging and criticizing her during the next family meeting.
Those bastards would definitely make her use her personal resources to make up for this' mistake '!
This … was definitely going to happen!
Shani's heart was bleeding, and she no longer had the mood to watch over the rear. She hurriedly summoned the remaining Tier 4 Shadow Warrior to replace her as the guiding force of the Origin Tower. She, on the other hand, was enveloped by a huge wave of darkness as she arrived at the frontlines of the war.
The Dark Witch Shani had finally shown herself!
Inside the fireball, a smile finally appeared on Grimm's face, and he quickly began to adjust his condition.
A fireball and a black ball. Two powerful Magi with distinct attributes faced off against each other, their gazes locked onto each other.
[Beep. Target's initial position has been locked on …]
[Target's attribute is darkness, and it has Shadow Shuttle, Shadow Leap, and many other short-distance movement techniques. Within a shadow-like domain, the probability of locking on to the target's position is less than 23% …]
[Dynamic trajectory blurring calculation online. Lock-On ability increased to 46% …]
[Elemental vision assistance system online. Lock-On ability increased to 62% …]
[Scanning of spatial nodes completed. Lock-On ability increased to 71% …]
[Reminder, this is the optimal result for the current ability. Unless the host can break through the shadow-like domain, the lock-on ability will be affected by external factors.]
71% … That was enough!
Grimm's eyes flickered.
It had to be known that he was currently facing a mid-ranked dark witch who had advanced several hundred years ago. For the A.I. Chip to be able to increase the lock-on ability to 71% in a shadow-like domain that his opponent had painstakingly set up was already an inconceivable situation.
In a battle between two rank 4 Magi, whether or not they could use their spells on their opponent was the key to victory.
Due to the existence of defensive force fields, displacement spells, and defensive spells, as well as the influence of the environment, it was almost impossible to lock onto the opponent's position and smash all the spells onto the opponent's body.
Not being able to lock on to the opponent meant that there was a high chance that their spells would miss, wasting precious wizard power and opportunities to attack. That was the most unforgivable!
With the help of the A.I. Chip, Grimm could lock on to the Dark Witch Shani's position to 71%. This was an extremely terrifying number. On the other hand, if the dark witch wanted to lock on to Grimm, her chances of success would be less than 30%.
If it were an outsider, it would be hard to imagine the increase in battle strength that would be brought about by this reversal!
"It's a pity that you dark witches still chose to oppose me … Today, I'll give you a chance. Let's see if you die or if I live!" Grimm laughed coldly, his thunderous voice causing the entire shadow-like domain to tremble.
Shani, who was standing in the large black shadows, chuckled coldly.
"It's not up to you to decide what we dark witches choose. Today, you'll stay here forever! "
Along with Shani's declaration of war, the dark energy in the shadow-like domain suddenly came to life and pounced towards Grim who was standing in the golden flames from all directions.
