Otherworldly Space.
A flame burst out from a corner of the space, and Grimm's sturdy body appeared.
As soon as his soul aura appeared, a huge fireball hurriedly pounced towards Grimm.
This fireball had a diameter of five meters, and it was filled with liquid flame energy that was so condensed that it was almost solid. The high temperature that was overflowing from the edge of the sphere had shaken this space, causing the milky-white space barrier around it to creak under the pressure.
The temperature at the edge of the fireball had already reached several thousand degrees, while the temperature at its core was over ten thousand degrees.
Magi below Grade 3 would be roasted into dried meat if they were to get too close to the fireball, let alone being hit by it.
However, Grim did not panic in the slightest when he saw such a terrifying fireball hurtling towards him. Instead, he revealed a smile.
"Stop messing around. Let me see your true form!" Grim chuckled as he extended his hand into the fireball and pulled out a strange orb that was still burning quietly.
With a slight shake of his hand, the fireball that had lost its core suddenly exploded into a terrifying sea of flames.
The entire space around him immediately burst into flames.
Grim, on the other hand, did not seem to feel anything as he stood quietly in the sea of flames, calmly fiddling with the orb in his hand.
Eighty years. He had wasted eighty years …
During these long years, Grim had struggled with the Fire God's Orb almost every day.
The Divine Power Imprint that the powerful Fire God had left in the Fire God's Orb had completely fused with the Origin of Fire. It was practically impossible to destroy the Divine Power Imprint. Hence, the only thing Grim could do was find a way to seal off the Divine Power Imprint's control over the Fire God's Orb.
Normally, this would have been extremely difficult to accomplish. However, Grim had Alice, a Tier 4 Witch of Fate, to guide him. Under the suppression of Alice's Hourglass of Time and the Prophecy Scepter, Grim was finally able to project a Fire Doppelganger into the Fire God's Orb, temporarily replacing the Divine Power Imprint.
With this, although the Fire God's Orb's power was weakened and some of its abilities could not be displayed, it could still be controlled. At the very least, he could now control it.
At this moment, Grim finally gained initial control over the Divine Fire Bead!
From today onwards, this Divine Fire Bead truly belonged to him.
Grimm fiddled with the Divine Fire Bead and quietly sensed the boundless flame energy within it. He could sense the presence of his soul in every wisp of flame energy. In this way, as long as Grimm willed it, the flame energy that was densely packed in the space could move according to his will and condense into the shape he wanted at any time.
Grimm held the Divine Fire Bead tightly. His eyes flickered, and the sea of fire in the space gathered and scattered. It turned into several sparkling fireballs that chased each other in the air, then into scarlet firebirds that filled the sky, and then into a terrifying beast that roared at the sky …
Grimm toyed with everything in front of him. As the shape of the flames changed, Grimm's understanding of the energy of flames deepened.
In the past, although Grimm could also control fire energy and had comprehended four types of fire laws, the traces left behind by knives and axes were too obvious. Now, the flames were him, and he was the flames. The two were inseparable, and there were already signs of them fusing deeply.
In Grimm's mind, the A.I. Chip projected the latest results of his physical examination.
Grimm, Male, Rank 4 Magus of Laws (Fire Specialization), Chaotic Physique (Extraordinary Magic Resistance), Astral Beast bloodline (13%), Heart of Laws (Law of Fire 56%). Stats: Strength
Vitality:
31 Agility: 19
Spirit: 44, Bloodline Innate Ability: Energy Black Hole, Law of Fire: Increase Range, Empower Flame, Flame Penetration, Flame Invisibility, Flame Critical Strike …
It had to be said that at Grimm's level, increasing his strength by even a little bit required a huge investment of resources and time.
Eighty years of tempering his spirit day after day had only increased Grimm's spiritual force by 4 points. Part of it was due to the effects of the mutated mushrooms.
Now, the mutated mushrooms were completely useless to Grimm. If he wanted to take a shortcut, he would have to think of ways to find new high-grade resources!
All these years of fighting with the Vulcan Orb and the Holy Book of Wisdom had given Grimm quite a bit of benefits.
Grimm's control of the Heart of Laws had increased from 48% to 56%, and this had given him a new Law of Fire: Flame Critical Strike.
Under the effects of the Law of Fire, Grimm could give active offensive spells double the damage of the flames, but at the cost of double the amount of wizard power.
Originally, Grimm's attack power was already very terrifying. Now, with the addition of the Critical Hit Law, the power of Grimm's flames had undergone an earth-shattering transformation.
However, with Grimm's current 44 points of spiritual force, using the Law of Force Critical Strike would cause his spiritual force to be depleted abnormally quickly. Fortunately, the appearance of the Vulcan Orb had alleviated Grimm's spiritual force.
Item Name: Vulcan Orb
Item Type: Elemental Orb (Divine Weapon)
Item Attribute: Fire
Item Level: Rank 5
Item Base Attribute: + 3 Spiritual Force
+ 2 Vitality
Item Amplification: Passive Fire Spells, Summoning Fire Spells + 300%
Special Effect: Flame Breath, Flame Self-Healing, Flame Rampage, Flame Immunity (Intermediate)
Skill: Scorched Earth (Rank 5 Divine Fire Spell, Sealed), Flame Armor (Defense 1,700 points), Flame Space (Comes with a small Flame Space that can store 3 Flame Creatures)
As the Vulcan Orb gradually came under Grimm's control and control, its basic attributes were revealed bit by bit.
Compared to a Rank 4 Wizard Weapon, the Rank 5 Vulcan Orb was naturally much more powerful.
Just the series of special effects made Grimm's eyebrows twitch in joy.
As long as he was in the flames, Grimm would have the abilities of Flame Breath (Absorbs fire energy to replenish his body), Flame Self-Healing (Absorbs fire energy to replenish his body's damage), Flame Rampage (Increases movement speed in flames by 300%), as well as the Intermediate Flame Immunity.
With these effects, Grimm's fire abilities were no weaker than those of the Fire Lords!
Furthermore, the Vulcan Orb also came with a small Flame Space that could store 3 Flame Creatures. This meant that Grimm could nurture three powerful Flame Creatures as his henchmen. He could store them in the Vulcan Orb and use them as his trump cards at crucial moments.
The Vulcan Orb's amplification effects were even more gratifying.
300% … Although it was only limited to passive and summoning spells, it was still a significant improvement to Grimm's battle prowess. The most obvious change was Grimm's Burning Domain, which was gradually becoming useless. Its attack power had increased from 200 points to 700 points.
This kind of power was enough to pose a threat to ordinary Rank 4 Wizards!
Grimm's favorite Flame Gate had also increased the number of Flame Creatures he could summon from 500 to 1,500. In a way, Grimm was even more terrifying than those Wizards who specialized in summoning spells.
However, the only regret was that the Rank 5 Divine Spell that came with the Vulcan Orb had been destroyed due to the Divine Imprint. This meant that Grimm had lost the opportunity to master a Rank 5 Flame Spell. This was undoubtedly a huge regret!
After admiring the Vulcan Orb, Grimm took out the Flaming Coral Staff from the Elder's Ring.
When he gently put the Divine Fire Bead on the tip of the Flaming Coral Magic Staff, the four Flaming Corals that were wrapped in the Flaming Coral Magic Staff fell off, revealing a small groove. Grimm pressed the Vulcan Orb upwards, and the four tentacles intertwined once more, firmly locking the Vulcan Orb in place.
Grimm picked up the Fire Crystal and weighed it in his hand before putting it away regretfully.
Seriously speaking, this Fire Crystal was a good item to amplify Flame Spells. Unfortunately, compared to the Tier 5 Fire God's Bead, it was worthless.
After dealing with the Vulcan Orb, Grimm turned around and left the alternate dimension, arriving at the Book of Wisdom.
There, a small altar was silently revolving. The Book of Wisdom and another strange book were stacked on top of each other, and a portion of the illusory energy from both had already fused together.
Since the Vulcan Orb was compatible with Grimm's element, he could use the power of the divine weapon of fate to forcefully suppress it. However, this Book of Wisdom was a divine weapon created by the God of Wisdom himself, and it was almost impossible for Grimm to suppress the divine imprint within.
Since he could not erase the divine imprint left behind by the God of Wisdom, Jero, he would destroy it completely.
Grimm was decisive. He immediately summoned Remy, the Plague Spirit, and restored it to its original form, which was the Secret Voodoo Poison Scroll. However, it still retained its intelligence.
Just like that, with the terrifying power of the Bloody Altar and Grimm's assistance, the Secret Voodoo Poison Scroll finally began to devour the Book of Wisdom bit by bit.
The devouring process was extremely difficult, and there were a few times when it almost caused a terrifying backlash.
Fortunately, the Book of Wisdom was just a 'dead object'. Without Jero's control, it could only rely on the instincts of a Rank 5 divine weapon to resist the corrosion of the Bloody Altar. Coupled with the existence of Remy as an artifact spirit, the subsequent process was basically smooth.
Sensing Grimm's arrival, Remy's weak soul image appeared above the two books.
"How is it? How far has the fusion gone?" Grimm asked with concern.
"87% …" Remy replied weakly, "I need resources, I need energy … This bone is really hard to chew. You need to replenish it!"
87%？ That meant that Remy would need at least another 20 years to completely devour the Book of Wisdom …
"I understand. I'll gather the resources and energy you need as soon as possible. Just stay here and finish your work! "
