This was a hidden crypt in the mountains.
It was dark and deep.
The air was filled with a chilling and terrifying aura.
Suddenly, a deep light lit up in the absolute darkness. It briefly illuminated the underground cave that was about a hundred square meters in size.
Most of the cavern was empty. Only a small stone pond of about five by four meters square had been dug out in the center. Viscous and smelly black liquid flowed out of the pond.
Amidst the strange sound of water, an abnormally pale woman's face emerged from the black liquid, followed by a pale naked body and messy long hair.
As soon as she emerged from the water, the strange woman suddenly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of brown eyes filled with endless hatred and anger. Looking at her face, it was the Dark Witch, Shani.
"Good … Very good … Grim, I'll remember your name. Our hatred is endless. I'll make sure you never have peace! "
After angrily cursing and venting a few words, Shani finally managed to stand up from the small stone pool. The body that she had just condensed was weak and humble. Sensing the cold and damp air in the underground cave, she could not help but shiver.
Her previous body had already been destroyed by the Legendary Fire Wizard, and this body had just been condensed from the Pool of Spiritual Energy. It had zero magic resistance and was almost no different from an ordinary human girl. That was why it could not withstand the chill of the underground wind.
However, this was not the focus of her attention.
Shani lowered her head and looked at her empty chest. Her eyes could not help but widen.
Where's the Shadow Pearl? Could it be that after I 'died', my soul did not bring the Shadow Pearl back when I escaped?
After searching for a few times, she could not find any trace of the Shadow Pearl. This time, Shani completely exploded. It did not matter if other equipment and tools were lost, but the Shadow Pearl was the source of the Dark Witch clan's treasure.
If it was lost … Shani could not help but shiver again. She did not dare to imagine what would happen when she returned to the clan.
"Grim … I hate you …"
The hoarse and angry roar reverberated in the dark and deep underground cave for a long time.
…
"Huh? Isn't she a Tier 4 witch? Why was his resistance so weak? That Shadow Assassin lasted for more than ten seconds, but she couldn't even last five seconds … "
Grimm clicked his tongue and sighed as he swiftly cleaned up the battlefield.
The first thing that entered his hand was naturally the strange Shadow Pearl that looked like a black pebble. Attacked by the golden flames, the Dark Witch Shani didn't even have the chance to make a sound after her protective force field was broken. She instantly turned into ashes.
Naturally, the Shadow Pearl was left behind!
Even though Grim was already a Grade 4 Wizard, he could still feel a slight tingling sensation on his palm when he touched this Grade 5 Shadow Orb.
Odd Zhuo had only been able to withstand the corrosion of the pure shadow energy dispersing from the Shadow Pearl thanks to his high constitution and magic resistance. If it was a rank 3 Magus, the flesh on their arms would have been corroded by the Shadow Orb and turned into Shadow Substance.
Following Shani's "death" and the change of ownership of the Shadow Pearl, the huge core of darkness quickly began to collapse and disperse. The Shadow-like Domain that enveloped Maplewood Town also began to dissipate bit by bit.
Without the pull of the Darkness Tower, the instinctive repulsion between the Morian Plane and the Shadow Plane would cause them to separate on their own. However, Maplewood Town was an area where the two planes overlapped, so there would more or less be some shadow power left behind.
It would take a long time for the chaotic laws of the plane to be completely restored.
With the disappearance of the Shadow-like Domain, the power of the laws of the Morian Plane regained control of the land, and the domain power that had been suppressing Wizard Holly and the two-headed Wizard dissipated on its own.
Wizard Holly and Qiu Lisha slowly stretched out their spirit senses, and as soon as they touched Grim's, they knew the final result of the battle.
Grim was still here, but the aura of the Dark Witch Shani had disappeared without a trace. Wasn't the result of the battle clear enough?
"Congratulations, sir!" Wizard Holly was the first to send a message.
"I knew that sinister woman would not be a match for Lord Grim … Congratulations!" Qiu Lisha naturally had to flatter and flatter Wizard Holly.
To be honest, although the two of them spoke in a relaxed manner, their hearts were in turmoil.
Who was Shani? A rank 4 intermediate Dark Witch who had been famous for more than 500 years!
Her own strength was already very terrifying, and she had planned this from the start. It was not like the two Wizards did not see the arrangements she made last night. If they were to exchange their lives with Grim, they would probably die here even if they had ten lives.
But now, when they woke up, the Dark Witch had disappeared, and only the legendary Fire Wizard was left. The situation was self-evident. Even the arrogant Wizard Holly could not help but lower his head and quietly express his goodwill to Grim.
After all, in the Wizard World, a strong individual's strength was the fundamental guarantee of power and benefits!
Without power, the so-called power and benefits were nothing more than fleeting clouds.
While dealing with the two 'warm-hearted wizards', Grim was reviewing some of the precious' legacies' left behind by the dark witch.
After a night of battle, Grimm had obtained a Tier 5 Shadow Orb and a Tier 4 Shadow Diamond from the Dark Witch. He also found two pieces of equipment and a witchcraft tool from the ashes of the Dark Witch after she 'died'.
It was a pity that the other magic equipment could not withstand Grim's series of attacks and were completely destroyed.
"A.I. Chip, is Shani dead or not?" Grim pinched a magic earring with his fingers and asked with a frown.
[Beep. There are no traces of a soul's aura at the scene … Initial analysis is that she has used the energy pool to resurrect in another region!]
Grim did not find the A.I. Chip's reply strange.
The greatest characteristic of the Dark Witches was their immortality. However, this was not true immortality, and was achieved with the help of the energy pool.
Every time they went out, they would leave their soul imprint in a certain energy pool in a safe region. In this way, if he encountered danger outside and was facing death, he could rely on a special dark sorcery to escape his soul back into the Pool of Spiritual Energy.
This way, they would only need ten days to half a month to recover, and they would be able to condense a new body and resurrect.
However, the only thing he did not know was whether the soul of the Dark Witch Shani had escaped back to the Wizard World or was resurrecting somewhere in the Morian Plane with great difficulty. If it was the latter, he would have to be careful of her sudden attacks later on in the journey.
To be honest, a hidden rank 4 Dark Witch was still a threat to Grim even without her equipment and tools.
Grimm sneered as he imagined Shani's exasperated expression. With the help of the A.I. Chip, Grim carefully appraised the three items in his hand.
Two Rank 4 Magic Tools and one Enchanted Tool.
Shani was indeed a core member of the Dark Witches of the North. Just based on the level of her equipment and magic tools, she was a few grades stronger than the Wizards in the central continent. But now, it was obvious that Grim had benefited from it.
Item Name: Breath of Darkness
Item Type: Magic Earring
Item Attribute: Dark
Item Level: Rank 4
Base Strength: + 3 Agility
+ 2 Spirit
+ 2 Vitality
Special Effect: Able to freely enter and exit areas with shadow energy, unaffected by any magic barriers. When the wearer is in the shadows, automatically evades the detection of divination spells and continues to repair the damage to the body.
Skill: Shadow Ambush (Able to condense a Lightless Dagger to continuously attack the target for 75 seconds. Attack power 300 degrees. Cooldown: 40 seconds)
Looking at this strange magic earring, Grim could not help but lick his lips, secretly cheering for the skill it came with.
Shadow Ambush was indeed a good trick. As long as it was cast on the target, it could be ignored. A dagger condensed from dark energy would continue to entangle the target until the target was dead. Although 300 degrees of attack power was not high and could only be considered a nuisance to rank 4 enemies, it was more than enough to deal with rank 3 enemies that he could not show himself.
Moreover, Shadow Ambush had a duration of 75 seconds and a cooldown of 40 seconds. This meant that he could summon a rank 3 Basic Shadow Killer every 40 seconds. The effect was quite good.
However, the power attribute of this earring was not suitable for Grim. Once the shadow energy was exhausted, he would have to look for a Dark Wizard to recharge it. But now that Grim had the Shadow Orb, he did not need to worry about the lack of shadow energy!
Grimm put away the first Wizard Artifact with satisfaction and carefully inspected the second one.
Item Name: Ring of Shadows
Item Type: Magic Ring
Item Attribute: Dark
Item Level: Rank 4
Base Strength: + 2 Agility
+ 1 Spirit
+ 1 Vitality
Special Effect: Duration of all Dark Curses doubled, all Shadow Damage doubled
Skill: Dark Summoning (Able to summon a rank 4 Basic Shadow Killer)
It was also a pretty good rank 4 Dark Element magic tool, and it was very compatible with Shani's attributes.
