"But I still have the oath on me, what if …"
Wizard Holly was still hesitating.
Through this arduous journey, he finally understood the terrifying power of the legendary Fire Wizard. To be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that he was the Life Controller, he wouldn't want to make an enemy out of him.
Before Wizard Holly could finish his sentence, he suddenly bent over and started coughing violently. He opened his mouth and spat out a puff of purplish black blood. The blood splattered on the ground. It was sticky, and there seemed to be pieces of flesh, organs, and tissues mixed in it.
As he coughed violently, the wizard robe on his body fluttered open, revealing his horrifying body that was riddled with scars.
The sneak attack from the werewolf and the fox girl had left him with injuries that could not be healed in a short period of time. Now that he was under Shani's control, his condition could be said to be extremely weak and miserable.
Unfortunately, his life and death did not seem to be within the scope of the Dark Witch Shani's attention.
Hearing Wizard Holly's muttering, Shani fiercely retorted, "Holly, no matter what, you are still a Tier 4 Wizard who has been promoted for over a hundred years. Don't tell me you can't even withstand the backlash of this little oath? Here … With this Amulet of Life, you won't have to worry about that oath anymore, right? "
After saying this, Shani took out a brass cross-shaped sculpture from her waist pouch and threw it to Holly.
Holly hurriedly caught it and carefully wore it around his neck, sticking it close to his chest.
After being held hostage by Shani, his storage ring had fallen into her hands, and most of his personal wizard equipment had become her spoils of war. As for Shani, she had relied on robbing Heli to re-arm herself.
Although their attributes weren't compatible, considering that Xia Ni was currently poor, she didn't have the qualifications to be picky about who she disliked.
With a simple modification, she could barely control it!
Therefore, this Amulet of Life that Shani had casually thrown out was actually Holly's. Now, it was just 'returning it to its rightful owner'.
"Let's go! That Grim seems to be busy with something, we can join forces and attack him. In a while, I'll make the first move, and then you'll unleash your full strength and give him a good beating. If we succeed, I'll give you back your freedom! If you still have this kind of attitude when the battle starts, hmph, you know the consequences … "
Hearing Shani's threat, Wizard Holly's face turned gloomy.
His current condition was extremely poor. His external and internal injuries were about to destroy his body. If he hadn't relied on magic tools and potions to survive, he would have died long ago.
Right now, his body was like a broken house, barely holding on. If the Seed of Darkness that the other party planted in his body caused a ruckus again, it would be fatal. Therefore, no matter how unwilling he was, he could only bow his head and obey.
…
In the library.
Grimm quickly broke the arcane rune circles one after another, collecting all the strangely shaped books that were glowing with arcane radiance and putting them into his ring.
Just as he was excitedly doing all this, the few Eyes of Fire that he left outside seemed to have captured something strange and transmitted a dynamic image to Grim's mind.
Holly and Shani …
It seemed like they had found their way here.
As soon as he saw the Dark Witch Shani, who had just been resurrected, Grim's face revealed a trace of murderous intent.
The other party's stubbornness and unwillingness to let him off had clearly deeply angered him.
If there was a chance, he would not allow the other party's soul to return to the Pool of Spiritual Energy.
Unknowingly when, this spacious and obvious hall of knowledge suddenly became dim.
A black whirlpool suddenly appeared, slowly drifting around every corner of the Hall of Knowledge.
Wherever they passed, light seemed to be absorbed, and the entire space gradually became dark and gloomy.
A few arcane crystals embedded in the walls originally projected a bright and gentle light, illuminating the entire hall. At this moment, they were entangled by the black whirlpools, and the hall became dark and gloomy.
Although the Hall of Knowledge was huge, Grimm had only taken less than a hundred books. Grimm frowned as he looked at the remaining books, but he still chose to give up in the end.
The enemy had already come, and the plundering had to stop.
In a while, this place would become the battlefield of a few Grade 4 Wizards, and by that time, there would not be a hundred books that could survive!
Thinking of this, Grimm's hatred towards Shani became even stronger.
In just a few moments, the originally spacious and bright hall of knowledge had become so dark that one could not even see their own fingers in front of them. It was filled with strange, sticky, and black shadows.
These strange things came from all directions, baring their fangs and brandishing their claws, like thousands of demons in a land of ghosts.
"Hmph, since you're here, then show yourself! What's the point of pretending to be a ghost … "
Grimm snorted and raised his right hand. A bright, golden flame slowly appeared in his palm, illuminating the space dozens of meters around him.
As soon as the shadows entered this area, they were like fish thrown into a pot of boiling oil, making strange sizzling sounds. They also let out strange squeaks as they escaped from the illumination of the golden flame.
Judging from their behavior, these shadowy substances seemed to be alive!
As if sensing that Grimm was ready for battle, the tall and slender figure of the Dark Witch Shani slowly appeared at the edge of the golden circle. A pair of pitch-black eyes stared at Grimm, filled with an indescribable hatred.
"Good … This is really good … I really didn't expect that a rookie who just advanced for twenty or thirty years could make me, Shani, suffer such a great defeat. Very good … Today, I will use your blood to wash away the hatred between us! "
As soon as she finished speaking, the shadows in the hall suddenly began to boil.
Countless shadow arrows appeared out of thin air and shot towards Grimm from all directions like a rain of arrows.
Although the golden flame in Grimm's palm blossomed with a dazzling golden light, it continuously destroyed and neutralized the shadow arrows. However, the power of laws contained in it was still too little, and it was difficult for him to defend against such a large amount of shadow energy.
The shadow arrows that exploded turned into balls of black ink, and soon, the golden circle of light began to shrink. The shadow arrows that shot deeper were about to touch the defensive force field around Grimm's body.
Facing the opponent's ferocious attack, Grimm did not panic in the slightest.
He casually waved his hand to release a ring of flames, burning away the shadow objects that had invaded his body. At the same time, he took out a strange black stone from his bosom.
Strangely enough, with the appearance of this strange black stone, the shadow objects in the entire hall suddenly stopped. All the Shadow Arrows that had been formed suddenly exploded at the same time, reverting back to a chaotic shadow substance.
"Shadow Pearl … You … How can you control the power within the Shadow Pearl?"
Seeing this scene and sensing that the shadow energy was gradually getting out of control, the Dark Witch Shani could not help but scream in shock.
From what she knew, the Shadow Pearl was a sacred darkness-type object that only operated according to the will of the Dark Witches. It was impossible for outsiders to control it.
It was a pity that she did not know how powerful the A.I. Chip in Grimm's mind was.
As long as it was power, regardless of the attribute, the A.I. Chip could find a way to control it!
Power was power, and there was no elemental power that belonged to a single person or group.
Divine force was an exception.
With the help of the A.I. Chip, Grimm controlled the Shadow Pearl. Although he was not as proficient as the Dark Witches, he could still control the power within.
Hence, facing Shani's attack, Grimm did not need to do anything other than use the Shadow Pearl to repel Shani's control over the surrounding shadow objects. With Grimm's command, the shadow objects in the entire hall returned to the Shadow Pearl like birds returning to the forest, returning the hall to its original state.
Taking drastic measures …
Without the omnipresent shadow objects, the Dark Witch Shani was like a fish thrown onto the shore. Not only did she lose her invisibility barrier, she could not even cast most shadow spells.
The Dark Witches were a strange combat profession that was somewhere between Magi and Assassins. Once Grimm forced them out of the Shadow Space, the danger they posed was greatly reduced, and they could no longer pose a threat to him.
Shani screamed hoarsely, her body emitting a thick, ink-like black smoke. She wanted to wrap herself up once more.
Unfortunately, Grimm raised the Shadow Orb and waved it at her. The black smoke was instantly sucked in, and Shani, who was trying to sneak away, was once again exposed.
"Bastard … You deserve to die!"
Shani screamed frantically. She could only use the shadow objects in her body to summon a Tier 4 Shadow Dragon, commanding it to attack Grimm in a frenzy.
Unfortunately, even though the Shadow Dragon had a sturdy physique and mighty divine power that weren't inferior to ordinary dragons, its body was also immersed in too much shadow matter. As long as the shadow objects were present, it could not escape the Shadow Pearl's control and binding.
Grimm stood proudly with the Shadow Pearl in his hand.
Before the Shadow Dragon could reach Grimm's side, it was already bound by the Shadow Power that spread out from Grimm's body. Patches of pitch-black and deep shadow power quickly spread on the surface of its body, then turned into pitch-black chains that seemed to have substance, firmly binding it.
"Heli, if you don't act now, I'll activate the Seed of Darkness!"
With the Shadow Pearl, all of Shani's attacks were useless against Grimm. Hence, she could only place all her hopes on Wizard Heli.
