"The Flame Tyrant Groms is looking for the Divine Flamestone …"
"It's an extremely rare magic material. It only appears in places where the energy of light and fire is very strong …"
"I believe Groms is looking for the Divine Flamestone to use its power to modify a part of his Law of Fire. If he can convert a portion of the power of fire into light, his movement speed will undoubtedly increase … "
"Not long ago, an expedition team from the Magus Association discovered an ancient ruin in another world. The Divine Flamestone was one of the spoils of war … Now, the Divine Flamestone is in the hands of a rank 4 Witch called Olivier …"
After listening to Alice's explanation, Grimm could not help but frown. "Since Medusa wants to use the Divine Flamestone to threaten Groms, why didn't she keep it for herself? Why did she let it slip away?"
"Because that's how she does things!" Alice smiled calmly. "She's a rank 7 Great Witch who has controlled the power of destiny for tens of thousands of years. The web of relationships she weaves must be so complicated that it's hard for ordinary people to imagine."
"Everyone knows that Witches of Destiny don't have much combat power! In that case, what method did Medusa use to mobilize and control so many existences? It's all thanks to the subtle and mysterious power of destiny! "
"She uses the power of destiny to spy on the secrets of those powerhouses. Once she finds out what they need, she will do everything she can to push the power of destiny, making it impossible for them to reach it. That way, if they can't get what they want, they can only turn to her for help, and then listen to Medusa's arrangements … "
"Using similar methods, she weaves a terrifying web that binds the powerhouses of the various planes. Everyone is just a puppet in her web, a node …"
"I dare say that the expedition team from the Magus Association was able to discover the ancient ruin because of Medusa. That way, she only needs to reveal a bit of information, and she doesn't even need to do anything herself. She's able to 'hide' the Divine Flamestone that Groms wants in a place where he can't reach. "
"The Magus World, the Magus Association … Don't be fooled by the fact that Groms is a rank 5 Flame Tyrant. That's not enough to scare the Witch called Olivier. That's why Groms knows where the Divine Flamestone is, but he can't get it. That's why he can only turn back to Medusa … "
"How complicated!" Grimm listened quietly, and could not help but sigh, "Alice, you won't become a Fate Voyeur in the future, will you?"
"What are you thinking …" Alice sighed, "If her methods worked, she wouldn't have caused the Will of the Magus World Will to turn against her. Those who play with destiny are destined to be spurned by it. "
"So, you became her gravedigger, carrying the will of the Sorcerer World to deal with her?"
"So you, I'll be Medusa, and Voyeur will will Voyeur will Medusa God King. Voyewill for her Will, and I 'Voyeur for King Will. But once I step out of the Magus World, many things will become more and more complicated, and more and more difficult to control. "
Grimm shook his head and laughed, "That's probably a common problem for you Fate Witches. You need to know the ins and outs of a matter, and control all the variables and unknowns. Only when the danger is reduced to zero will you be willing to do it yourself. Actually, for me, it's worth it if I have a 70% or 80% chance of success! "
Alice said sternly, "Grimm, you can't have such thoughts! We like to have 100% control of things before we act, not because we pursue perfection, but because we know that fate is treacherous and unpredictable … For you, even if you have a 99% chance of success, if it falls into the hands of the Destiny Witches, we can rely on the remaining 1% to destroy the whole thing. "
"For us Fate Witches, there's no such thing as 99% or 1%. It's either 100% or absolutely impossible … There's no room in between!"
"She's that powerful?" Grimm could not help but say, "But I don't think that Medusa is so powerful that she can't be defeated!"
"That's because we're protected by the Magus World's River of Destiny. That's why she can't pry into our secrets. Many of the things she thought she saw were distorted or obscured by the River of Destiny. That's why she's always misjudged your strength. Not only did she fail to eliminate you, she even allowed you to grow stronger … "
"What about this time? How are we going to get the Divine Stone of Luminous Flame? " Although he had heard many unimaginable and unacceptable things, Grimm still maintained an optimistic attitude.
"I don't know!" Alice shrugged.
"You don't know?" Grimm's eyes widened. This was the first time he heard this from Alice, "How could you not know …"
"There are many suspicious points behind this matter, and there are many things I can't see through."
"First of all, if Medusa wanted to hide the Divine Stone of Luminous Flame from Grimm, she definitely had dozens or even hundreds of ways. However, she sent it to the Magus World, and it ended up in the hands of the Magus Association … I can smell a strong conspiracy! "
"You're saying that she already foresaw this, and wants to cause conflict between us and the Magus Association?" Grimm's eyes narrowed, his expression solemn.
"That is a very obvious thing! Because of the self-destruction attack, the Magus Association is already at odds with you. Furthermore, the Crimson Family has risen too quickly, and it has attracted the attention and vigilance of the three major Magus organisations. If you go to them now, I'm afraid the Magi of the association will not give you any face … "
"Will they surround and attack me?" Grimm scratched his head.
"They won't! After all, the Magus Association is one of the three major Magus organisations. Openly surrounding and killing high-ranked Magi from another organisation or region is a huge taboo! "
"Then what do I have to be afraid of?" Grimm smiled casually, his words filled with strong confidence, "Whether it's a one-on-one fight or a spar, these are the tricks that matter. As long as they're not afraid of losing face, I'll take them all on …"
Alice sighed leisurely, reaching out to caress Grimm's raised eyebrows and said, "Grimm … Grimm … What gives you such confidence that you don't even put a colossus like the Magus Association in your eyes?"
Grimm said proudly, "Of course it's my strength … and your support!"
Alice continued to sigh, "It's best not to fight if we can avoid it … Those who fight will die. The more enemies you make, the more you'll suffer the backlash one day!"
"I understand this logic. Don't worry, I'll handle the relationship between the Crimson Family and the Magus Association properly! "
Only after receiving Grimm's guarantee did Alice nod silently.
… …
After returning from the north, Grimm only stayed in the Blazing Flame Monarch for a few days before boarding an airship towards the eastern regions.
Before leaving, he tossed the grade 3 fire cores he'd obtained from the fire elemental plane to Meryl, causing her to jump with joy. In order to deal with any unforeseen circumstances, Grimm also brought along the grade 3 insect lich, Bliss.
This way, Bliss would deal with any troubles they might encounter along the way, while Grimm focused on researching the outline of the grade 5 flame creature template. In his free time, he also modified the grade 4 Molten Crystal into a Giant Molten Beast.
Though it was much weaker than the Shadowfiend, it was still a grade 4 creation. It was more than enough to deal with ordinary situations.
This was an airship belonging to the Magus Association, and according to the basic rules, it was equipped with a grade 2 Magus and five grade 1 Magi. Along with the runic spell formations etched on the body of the airship, it was more than enough to deal with the monsters of the Dark Forest that they might encounter along the way.
The airship, which resembled a brown sailboat, rose from the pier of Minsel Airport. Supported by a powerful wind elemental current, it slowly entered the Dark Forest.
The grade 2 Magus Ralph, who was in charge of protecting the airship, patrolled the deck as per usual. Only after finding nothing out of the ordinary did he return to his room in satisfaction.
However, just as he turned around, his eyes inadvertently caught sight of two black silhouettes standing quietly at the stern of the airship. He could not help but stop in his tracks.
Those who could travel between the scattered tower forest and the association's territory were either official Magi or human nobles with extremely high statuses. However, no matter which one it was, it was impossible to hide from Ralph's mental perception.
Yet, for some reason, when Ralph's gaze landed on the two black silhouettes, he felt a strange sense of fear. It was as if the two standing there were not Magi, but two ferocious beasts that could devour him until not even his bones were left.
Ralph stared blankly for a moment. His right hand, which was hidden in his sleeves, immediately grabbed the rune crystal that could control the spell formations on the airship and silently read through the information within.
With his grade 2 spiritual force, he was able to filter through the list of Magi who boarded the airship in an instant and quickly found the registration information of the two passengers.
Grimm and Billy … These two were very ordinary and unremarkable names.
However, in the annotation below the two names, Ralph saw a glaring word: Crimson Family!
Crimson Family? This family had been very powerful in the scattered tower forest … What were they doing in the association's territory at this time?
To be able to hide from his spiritual senses and not trigger the energy scan of the spell formation, they were most likely high-ranked Magi who had hidden their identities … However, he could count the number of high-ranked Magi in the Crimson Family. They …
Ralph pretended to be looking at the scenery below him, but he was secretly observing the two.
For some reason, he felt that one of the strange and distorted figures was somewhat familiar.
All of a sudden, his eyebrows twitched as he realised who it was.
Insect Lich Bliss … One of them was actually the most troublesome fellow to deal with amongst the grade 3 Magi in the Crimson Family.
What was he doing in the Magus Association?
