Seeing Wizard Holly suddenly barge in, Grim's eyebrows twitched slightly. Not only did he not look like he was about to die, but instead, a joyful smile emerged from the bottom of his heart.
Wizard Holly, who had transformed into a huge elemental construct, roared and charged towards Grim like lightning with the help of several rays of starlight behind him. Witch Shani, on the other hand, took a step back and reached out her hand to draw in the air, preparing a large-scale dark spell.
However, just as Wizard Holly's body was halfway through, he suddenly made a sharp turn in the air. His right hand, wrapped in dazzling starlight, madly pounded towards Shani's chest.
Such a sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard!
The sinister smile on Witch Shani's face had yet to fade away, and in an instant, it was replaced with a horrified expression.
If it was a normal day, it would be almost impossible for a dark witch like her, who mainly focused on agility and spirit, to be ambushed. No one's sneak attack could be faster and more hidden than her Shadow Leap, which could be cast at any moment!
However, at this moment, she was fully focused on preparing a large-scale dark spell, so she could not just let it go. Moreover, the entire hall's shadow matter had been absorbed by the Shadow Pearl. Even if she wanted to use the Shadow Leap to dodge this attack, it would be beyond her power.
Therefore, Witch Shani was about to go mad with anger.
She forcefully stopped the dark spell in her hand, and did not bother to calm down the reverse tide caused by the dark energy in her body. Relying on her super high agility, she forcefully pulled her body over her chest, and was ruthlessly hit by the iron fist that was swung towards her lower abdomen.
The violent and ferocious strength, coupled with the frightening power of the starlight, instantly turned into a powerful force that penetrated her lower abdomen. The iron fist that was stained with blood came out from her back, and the purplish black sticky blood turned into a rain of arrows that scattered in all directions.
Shani screamed in pain, and her whole body suddenly exploded into a black fog that filled the sky. The fog violently shot towards a corner of the hall, and only then did it reassemble into her incomparably miserable body.
As soon as her body appeared, Shani staggered two steps back. Her hands were tightly covering her exposed abdomen. Large clumps of purplish-black filthy flesh and blood leaked out from the gaps between her fingers, dripping into a pool of blood at her feet.
Of course, if it was only the violent strength, no matter how heavy the injuries on Xia Ni's body were, it would not affect her subsequent battles. As a high-grade Magus, with all the magic medicines and tools she carried with her, she could easily heal wounds such as broken limbs and flesh.
However, what truly posed a threat to her was the endless power of starlight mixed within the iron fist.
These strange and sinister energies pierced into her body like countless steel needles, quickly corroding her bones, flesh, and internal organs. Under the influence of their strange power, Shani had already lost the precise control and guidance of power to the injured parts of her body.
She kept coughing as she stumbled back. Blood kept gushing out of her throat, causing her strength to drain rapidly.
"Why … Why? You … You … Aren't you afraid that … I'll detonate the … Seed of Darkness in your body? " It was a simple sentence, but Shani stuttered. She even choked with sobs because her throat was blocked by blood.
Standing still and slowly retracting its iron fist, the gigantic elemental golem let out a beautiful laughter filled with endless hatred.
"Scared! Of course I'm scared! But, Mister Grim has promised that as long as he's here, you won't be able to detonate the Seed of Darkness … Hehe, with this promise, do you think I still need to be scared of you? "
"Bullsh * t … The Shadow Pearl is the sacred object of our Dark Witch Clan. Only we know how to control it. That bastard only had the Shadow Pearl for less than a month, he …" Shani's two big mouths were overflowing with blood at the same time. Her expression was ferocious and terrifying. It seemed like she didn't believe what the other party said at all.
However, when she screamed hoarsely, a dense black halo descended from the sky and covered the surface of the elemental golem. The strange power contained in the halo was exactly the power of shadow.
"Protection of Darkness …"
Shani's screams came to an abrupt halt. She couldn't help but murmur the name of this dark spell repeatedly.
With the protection of this layer of protection, Shani's attempt to remotely control the Seed of Darkness in Wizard Holly's body was a joke. If she wanted to connect to the Seed of Darkness again, it would be impossible without breaking this layer of protection.
It was almost impossible for other powers to isolate the power of shadow, but the power of darkness, which belonged to the same power system, could!
Therefore, when the heavily injured Shani saw this thin layer of black halo that seemed like it would leak with a single poke, her heart almost collapsed in despair …
She twisted her stiff neck slowly and turned towards the young Fire Shaman who was holding the orb in his hand and sneering at her with a smirk. His face was full of mockery, and his eyes were filled with thick disdain.
"It's just one or two minor dark spells. It's not that difficult to learn … If there's anything wrong with this protection of darkness, please don't hesitate to point it out, Lady Shani!"
Xia Ni's face turned pale in an instant, and her eyes were filled with endless fury.
Protection of Darkness is a minor spell? This damned bastard! That's a rank 4 buff type dark spell! Even if Shani wanted to cast it herself, she wouldn't be able to do it so quickly!
Is he really an elemental Fire Wizard? How … How did he do it?
Under Shani's furious gaze, the smile on Grimm's face did not diminish. Instead, it became even more radiant and gentle.
Normally, he wouldn't be able to cast dark elemental spells with his specialization in fire.
However, ever since he obtained the Shadow Pearl, Grimm did not hesitate to order the A.I. Chip to quickly analyse the dozen or so dark elemental spells stored in the database.
Grimm had been travelling all over the place for the past few years, and his footprints had already covered the Silver Alliance, the northern lands, and the scattered Forest of Towers. The A.I. Chip's database had collected and sorted out more than 400 spells of various systems.
Due to the limitations of his specialization in fire, Grimm was unable to cast any spells other than fire elemental spells. Hence, the spells in the database were only models for modifying and optimising fire elemental spells.
Now that he had the Shadow Pearl, the source of darkness, it was equivalent to having a Magus who could continuously supply shadow elemental energy. Grimm only needed to have the A.I. Chip store the model of the dark elemental spell and pour the energy from the Shadow Pearl into it. Then, he would naturally be able to cast dark elemental spells.
During the casting process, the Shadow Pearl was the source of energy, and the A.I. Chip in his mind was the controller of the energy. Grimm only needed to observe the entire process, and all he had to do was put on an act.
And this was a way to control the Shadow Pearl that he had figured out!
However, no one could see through Grimm's act.
In their hearts, Grimm was extremely unfathomable. He was actually able to surpass the threshold of the power system and achieve such an inconceivable feat!
Faced with such a situation, Shani's heart crumbled in despair. Magus Holi, on the other hand, attributed it to Grimm's strange elemental talent and did not suspect anything else.
Grimm, who had the Shadow Pearl, was already difficult enough to deal with. Now that Holi, who hated her deeply, had joined the fray, Shani immediately knew that there was nothing she could do. Without hesitation, she prepared to flee again.
Unable to leap from shadow, Shani's body exploded into a cloud of black smoke, and she shot towards the only entrance to the library like an arrow.
As she fled, Shani used all the shadow energy in her body to condense dark, deep, and solid shadow arrows. They shot towards the two enemies, hoping to slow them down.
Seeing this, Magus Holi panicked and charged towards the broken door against the dense rain of arrows, trying to stop Shani. The legendary Fire Magus remained in his original position, his body not moving at all. He looked at Shani, who was frantically escaping, his face full of mockery.
Seeing the Fire Magus' expression, Shani's heart trembled, and she could not help but have an ominous premonition.
Damn it, that Fire Magus definitely has something up his sleeves … What could it be?
While thinking quickly, Shani, who had turned into black smoke, suddenly froze in front of the broken wooden door. She once again condensed into her human form, and did not move a single step forward.
There, against the light from the passage, stood a tall and mighty figure.
Looking at that strange posture and sensing that familiar aura, Shani's heart suddenly sank to the bottom of a bottomless abyss. It was so cold and stiff that it was difficult for her to even jump.
"Mangus … Qiu Lisha …"
Shani spat out these two names with difficulty. She finally understood what the legendary Fire Magus had up his sleeves.
That cowardly two-headed Magus and his sister!
Although Shani did not care about the strength of Mangus and his sister, they were still genuine grade 4 Magi after transforming into two-headed Magi. If they were to fight without holding back, Shani, at her peak, was confident that she could defeat or kill this pair of brother and sister, who had barely squeezed into grade 4, within a quarter of an hour.
But now …
Sensing the nearly depleted blood and shadow energy in her body, sensing the Magus Holi who was rushing towards her with berserk strength, Shani finally gave up all hope.
Unless the Sorcerer God descended, with her current strength, it would be impossible to break through the blockade of Mangus and his sister before Magus Holi arrived.
A burst of wild power exploded in front of the wooden door!
