Each of the three methods had their own pros and cons.
In a split second, Grimm chose the first method.
He still had a use for the Shadow Pearl and couldn't reveal it for the time being. He couldn't afford to lose 13 minutes of power in a battle like this. That was why he could only choose the first method.
Losing 7% of his flame power … While it was hard to bear, it was still acceptable under the current circumstances.
With a loud bang, Grimm's body exploded into flames once more.
This time, the Body of Flame's energy transformation was different from before. Most of the golden flames dispersed into a loose cloud of fire that splashed everywhere, and then gathered together under the restraint of an inexplicable force. About 7% of the flames did not scatter and instead gathered together to burn silently.
When Grimm reappeared, the divine force on his body disappeared without a trace.
Congnas and Mitzer, who were still in the midst of a life-and-death battle, couldn't help but turn to look at Grimm. They were shocked by the exquisite control he had over his body after he turned into energy.
Mitzer's brows were furrowed and he had a bad feeling about this.
He was the only one who knew what he was capable of. The Sword of Holy Judgment was not something that could be casually activated. There were only two high-ranked divine spells in the Tome of Wisdom, one for offense and one for defense. Both were personally imbued by the God of Wisdom, Jaero.
These two high-ranked divine spells were his greatest insurance in the Morian Plane.
Every time a divine spell was activated, it would take three hours for the divine power to be condensed again.
This meant that in the next three hours of battle, he could only use that defensive divine art. The Sword of Holy Judgment, on the other hand, was in a long cooldown.
Although Mitzer could still cast many grade 4 divine spells with the help of the Tome of Wisdom, he only had two peak grade 4 divine spells. However, he only had two apex Tier 4 Divine Spells that surpassed his current rank. If he let one go, he would have one less. If the Sword of Holy Judgment could kill that fire demon, he might be able to intimidate the enemy.
But now, not only was the fire demon not dead, he had even used up one of his trump cards at such a 'small' price. How could Mitzer not be angry and fearful?
Relying on Grim's' jesting ', he single-handedly defeated the entire group of the Church of the Impartial Eye.
Under Congnas's command, a large number of high-ranked necromancers swooped down and blocked the five knights outside the battlefield. Congnus, on the other hand, was surrounded by a group of undead guards to stop the three divine spell users who were trying to escape. A true battle of the fourth order had begun.
Divine spells filled the air and the aura of death rolled!
The battle that erupted from both sides filled the battlefield with violent and disorderly energy ripples. Wherever the ripples went, all those who did not have enough magic resistance and defense were corroded and disintegrated in the energy vortexes, turning into piles of scattered bones that rained down from the sky.
Mangles and his sister had just unleashed two rounds of witchcraft at God's Son Mitzer, who was in the battlefield, when they were surrounded by three to five ferocious undead spirits from all directions. They seemed to be monitoring them.
Grimm snorted, and with a Flame Leap, he appeared beside the Mangles siblings. His body rapidly expanded, and he once again transformed into the ten-meter-tall flame giant. At his call, an astral construct that was five meters tall rapidly flew over from the distance and crashed into the ground with a thud, sending the undead around it along with tons of soil flying a hundred meters away.
The appearance of the three Tier 4 Sorcerers instantly shocked both sides of the battlefield.
Grimm had secretly sent a voice transmission to the lich to coordinate the joint attack on the believers of wisdom. However, after the deed was done, the Lich Congenas obviously wanted to take all the spoils for himself. He pushed Grim and Mangles out of the battlefield to prevent them from taking the Tome of Wisdom.
Grimm wasn't the only one who had his eyes on the Book of Wisdom. Even the lich Congnas was tempted by the grade 5 divine weapon.
But now that Grimm had summoned Wizard Holly, the three grade 4 wizards stood side by side, and Congnas's little schemes vanished in an instant.
No matter how arrogant and conceited Congnas was, he wouldn't dare face three grade 4 wizards at the same time.
Moreover, the three of them had obviously formed a group, attacking and retreating together. This further amplified their strength, making it so that even an Evil Lich would not dare to recklessly start a fight and suppress them at will.
While the Church of the Omniscient Eye had the advantage in numbers, they were just a bunch of weaklings who relied on the halos of divine spells to fight. While their physique was a hundred times stronger than a normal human's, it was still nothing in the eyes of a grade 4 evil lich.
If the lich could strip them of the halos of divine spells, killing them would be as easy as slaughtering chickens.
That confidence was the reason Congnas gave up on the undead army and held off the knights of the church while he focused on the divine child. As for the other two archbishops, if not for the Book of Wisdom, Congnas would have taken their attacks head-on and turned them into piles of bones with an instant death spell.
A grade 4 lich's magic resistance wasn't something ordinary spells or divine spells could affect!
Now that Grimm had revealed his true strength, Congnas was forced to accept the fact that the three wizards were a force he couldn't afford to ignore.
The existence of such a force could turn the tide of the battle!
"Magus, is our agreement still in effect?" Congnas's tone softened as he took the initiative to negotiate with Grimm.
The evil liches were always terrifying characters who killed their enemies and allies no matter where they went. When had they ever taken the initiative to negotiate with their prey?
"Of course!" Grimm snickered, a smile appearing on his fiery face, "Let's work together to take down these scammers. The spoils of war will go to whoever gets it first. What's the matter? You have the numbers advantage. Are you afraid you'll be at a disadvantage?"
"Alright, it's a deal!" Congnas's soulfire, which was hidden behind the ruby, scanned Grimm and the other archbishops. When he sensed their initial grade 4 power, he couldn't help but snicker coldly.
Initial grade 4 … No matter how strong your talent is, you won't be able to control the Book of Wisdom even if you've grasped a portion of the law of fire at the initial grade. This kind of object with an owner could only be bound and sealed by another Tier 5 treasure or power.
That was why Congnas accepted Grimm's olive branch without hesitation!
With the two evil factions working together, the two archbishops and the divine child couldn't hold on much longer.
After all, this was the land of another world, not the plane they were born in.
Although the Holy Bible of Wisdom could project an endless stream of Divine Art power from the distant Origin Plane, the consumption of power was too great.
If the God of Wisdom was an intermediate god, he might be able to withstand such a loss.
Unfortunately, the God of Wisdom Ye Luo was only a Tier 5 God with weak Divine Power.
With the protection of the Wisdom Canon, Mitzer was still able to hold on. Rays of divine spell halos turned into layers of solid divine spell shields, blocking the enemy's spells and witchcraft attacks outside his body. However, the two archbishops didn't have such a powerful shield. Under the relentless attacks of the enemy, they finally couldn't hold on any longer.
Archbishop Russell's divine shield was the first to be broken. Several terrifying attacks swept past and killed him in an instant.
Congnas' aura of death quickly washed over the archbishop's body. The thick aura of death intertwined with the fresh flesh and blood, causing sizzling noises as it corroded the archbishop's body. The flesh was quickly dyed grey.
His flesh decayed and withered, and his bones calcified quickly …
Archbishop Russell, who had the title of Holy Protector, was corroded into a grey skeleton before he could even move his fingers. His flesh, tendons, and organs were all gone. A few more terrifying attacks followed, quickly turning Rousseau's skeleton into dust and scattering in all directions.
"Russell …" Antonio screamed. The Divine Shield outside his body was only left with a thin layer, and it was rippling under the ferocious attacks of his opponent. It was obvious that it wouldn't last much longer.
"My Lord, please escape! I … "Antonio's eyes were bloodshot, and he was ready to die." I will do my best to buy you some time! "
After saying that, Antonio gave up on the meaningless resistance. He raised his hands in front of his chest with his palms facing upwards. Piously, he chanted a strange and mysterious hymn in a language that Grim and the others couldn't understand.
The moment the hymn started, the few Grade-4 wizards on the battlefield could not help but relax, and their minds became a little dazed. Their attacks gradually stopped, and their faces were intoxicated by the melodious and low hymn, as if they had completely forgotten everything on the battlefield.
Antonio, who was chanting the hymn, was bleeding from his nose and mouth, and even two streams of purplish-black blood flowed down from his eye sockets. But even so, he didn't stop chanting. Instead, he praised devoutly in an unusually tragic and stirring manner.
As for Mitzer, he turned around the moment the hymn started, and flew into the distance without looking back. He had no intention of helping Antonio attack the enemy.
It couldn't be helped. The 'God's Praise' was just a way to drag the enemy down with him.
Once he attacked any of the enemies, they would be freed from the spiritual illusion, and Antonio's sacrifice would be meaningless.
After Mitzer flew a thousand meters away, Congnas's body glowed with light, and his spiritual waves broke free from the illusion. He was a lich, after all, and his magic resistance was much higher than the Magi, so it wasn't difficult to break free.
Congnas looked at the fleeing Mitzer and the three Magi who were still in a daze, but their defenses were still intact. He made up his mind and chased after the divine child in a flash.
