With the arrival of the lich, the atmosphere became tense and awkward once more.
Neither of them were righteous people to begin with. The only reason they were able to form an alliance was due to the temptation of benefits. Now that everything had been settled, the deeper conflict between the two sides began to surface.
Congenus's cold gaze roamed around Grimm's body as if he was trying to determine the credibility of Grimm's words. At the same time, he seemed to be hesitating on whether or not he should start a new war.
If Grimm was just an ordinary grade-4 magus, Congenus wouldn't have hesitated to start a war. After all, the physique of a magus was one of the best among spellcasters. It was perfect for making an undead slave.
However, through the previous battles, Congonus had a rough understanding of Grimm's terrifying might. So, he was hesitant about whether or not to start a fight.
With his current equipment and strength, and without the protection of his undead army, it would be difficult for him to take down the fire magus. The flames that Grimm controlled seemed a little special. They contained many different types of laws that made it difficult for Congenus to deal with.
If the two magi came over to help, the tides of the battle would turn.
When that happened, it wouldn't be a question of whether Congenus would start a war. It would be a question of whether the three magi were willing to let him go.
Grimm silently sensed the powerful spiritual pressure from the Lich's cross-shaped condensed Soul Fire. The smile on his face did not change, but the air around him began to distort and become restless. Waves of transparent flames spread and coiled around his body. With just a thought, he could quickly transform it into a violent and ferocious wave of flames.
However, just as the situation was about to get heated, the Lich suddenly took a step back and retracted the surging mental pressure.
"Let's get to know each other again! I am Congenus, a member of the Universal Alliance of Liches. I'm at the mid-grade, and I live in the Skeletal Plane. I specialize in potions and necromancy … "Congenus bowed elegantly and introduced himself once more.
The lich's actions showed that he saw Grimm as a 'customer' or 'partner' that he could interact with on equal footing.
Although he was a little surprised, Grim still returned the gesture with a smile.
"My name is Grim, a newly promoted elder of the Tower Forest Association in the Sorcerer World. I control a human kingdom called the Crimson Dynasty, and I usually reside in the Flame Monarch's Wizard Pagoda. As for what I'm good at … It should be Puppet Making and Magic Weave Drawing! "
"Your strength has already won my respect, and you are qualified to be my 'friend'. This is my contact information. We may need to exchange our needs after we return … If Your Excellency has any special goods in your hands, my treasure vault will definitely satisfy you! "
With that, the Lich raised his right hand, and the ring finger of the Jade-White Skeletal Hand suddenly detached itself. It was lifted by an invisible force and slowly flew towards Grim.
Grimm's smile didn't change. His black pupils glowed with a strange blue light as he quickly scanned the bone finger. After confirming that there were no offensive or cursed spells or magic traps on it, he grabbed it.
[Beep. Abnormal spiritual imprint detected. Energy aura matches that of a lich. Can be used for long-distance mental communication. No special attachments …]
Grimmsmo fiddled with it for a while. After the A.I. Chip had thoroughly checked that there were no hidden dangers, he then placed it into his waist pouch and took out a Fire Crystal.
Grimm used his hand as a pen and drew in the air, condensing flaming runes that were still burning. The runes then began to revolve around the Fire Crystal at high speed. When all the runes were completed, a crimson light shone brightly. The runes followed some mysterious laws and formed a three-dimensional Fire Rune Formation that slowly sank into the crystal.
"This is my contact information … I look forward to our next meeting!"
The Lich Congnas took the Fire Crystal and gave Grimm a long look before turning to leave.
When the Lich's chilling aura completely disappeared from his spiritual senses, Grimm relaxed a little and let out a long sigh.
It had to be said that one had to be extremely vigilant when dealing with these old monsters. The slightest carelessness could lead to a terrible ending. That was why Grimm felt mentally fatigued after just a short 15 minutes of confrontation.
Moreover, in the past two days and two nights, he had been constantly fighting, fleeing, and moving, and this had imperceptibly increased the degree of his mental fatigue. Although his 40 points of Spirit allowed him to stay awake for ten days to half a month without feeling tired, his mental exhaustion continued to accumulate and stack.
If he were to encounter a dangerous situation in this state, it would be easy for him to make mistakes in his judgement. It was time to find a place to rest!
Grimm sent out a message.
A moment later, Magus Horry and the Mangles siblings rushed over and met up with him.
The three of them did not dare to stay in the ruins of the floating city for long. They found a direction and left in a hurry.
… …
The sky of the Morian Plane had turned blood-red.
The plane shook, and the laws of the plane were in chaos.
Under the huge sky that stretched for tens of millions of miles, there was no source of sky fire and terrible void hurricanes raging everywhere. The closer to the floating city or the famous arcane tower, the more obvious the situation was and the worse the environment was.
Within the plane, nearly one-third of the floating city had turned into a huge fireball and fell to the ground, while the other half of the floating city had been ravaged and slaughtered by the invaders and had almost become floating ruins.
The number of floating cities that survived the catastrophe was less than eleven.
Without the support of the floating city's arcane energy system, the arcane warfare facilities that were fighting against all kinds of horrible alien races outside the barrier of the plane had also stopped operating.
The arcane war that had lasted for 117 years had finally come to an end. The Arcane Kingdom had been defeated!
As a result, the origin of the Arcane Kingdom, the Morian Bitwall, was also breached by a large number of powerful alien clans. They began to rush into the inside of the Morian Bitwall, unscrupulously slaughtering, plundering resources and slaves.
Among them, there were powerful individuals such as disaster creatures, star beasts, void creatures, and elemental lords. There were also intelligent races such as wizards, underground people, alchemists, and shadow creatures.
The former rushed into the plane in order to feast, wantonly slaughter and taste the freshness of the flesh and blood, and at the same time plunder some delicious plane sources. The latter, on the other hand, focused more on the knowledge and civilization system of the Arcane Kingdom, as well as many rare resources and materials that were difficult to find in other planes.
It was because of their unscrupulousness that the entire Morian Plane began to collapse in less than half a month.
With the defeat of the Arcane Kingdom, the Morian Bitwall that was originally mixed and thick was torn open by the intruders of the Alien Clan, which had broken into the Morian Bitwall. The turbulent void storm outside the plane took the opportunity to sweep in, blowing away everything inside, breaking it down into tiny particles that were hard to see with the naked eye, and scattering them to every corner of the plane.
Grimm and the other two avoided densely populated areas and walked among the mountains and swamps. The scenes they saw along the way were like the end of the world.
High in the sky, there were large and small cracks everywhere, and some strange creatures with strange shapes emerged from the cracks, flapping their wings and screaming as they rushed to all parts of the plane.
Even though Grimm and the others had hidden well enough, they still couldn't escape the strange perception of these alien creatures. They screamed and swooped down, trying to turn Grimm and the others into food in their stomachs.
Unfortunately, when they came, they would stay forever!
Grimm and the other two used their own means to slaughter a group of these alien creatures. Only then did they realize how terrifying these people were. So a moment later, a strong alien riding on the back of a strange flying dragon appeared in front of Grimm and the other two.
"Wizard? It seems that you are the first attack team to sneak into the plane! Since you can live until now, you must have gained a lot … Hurry up, hand over all your spoils of war, so that I, Lord Quequba, may let you live, otherwise … "
Listening to the arrogant clamor of the other party, Grimm looked up and silently looked at the other party.
It was a strange creature that looked like a humanoid bone devil. Their lower body was almost integrated with the flying dragon they were riding, and their upper body was a hard white bone armor. From the top of the head to the back, there was a series of hard bone spurs like flags, each more than a meter long, with a trace of black smoke lingering at the end, it seemed to have some strange power.
Their faces had no nose, no ears, only a terrifying mouth with huge fangs and countless strange compound eyes shaped like a honeycomb. Four slightly thin arms covered in bone armor were distributed on both sides of their body, each holding a few bone spears that glowed with a strong magical light.
"Do you know what race they are?" Grimm asked in a low voice.
Wizard Hori and the siblings could not help but shake their heads.
In their past lives as Wizards, most of their energy was spent on research and laboratories. They did not know much about the vast and boundless universe and the many alien creatures. So when they suddenly encountered them, they could not figure out their race and combat habits.
When the foreign powerhouse saw his' prey 'whispering in front of him as though they did not care about him at all, he could not help but fly into a rage. With a wave of his hand, a large number of strange wyverns swooped down and charged at Grimm and the other two.
