"You can call me Fire Man!"
Grimm said calmly as he glanced at the strangely shaped scorpion.
In a team that was completely unfamiliar with each other, keeping a low profile might save him from some unnecessary trouble, but it would also lower his evaluation in the eyes of his other 'partners'.
Once a fellow was deemed as a 'weakling' by the others, what awaited him would be a lot of hard work and his own interests would be infringed upon.
Those who could become 'friends' with a Lich were not good people. Of course, they would be bullied if they were weaker. This kind of thing could not be avoided no matter where they went!
Therefore, although Grimm was keeping a low profile, his attitude was unprecedentedly tough.
"Fire Man? I've never heard of this name … Why, have you two heard of this name? "The Sand King's last question was directed at the two big guys who were standing quietly by the side.
To be honest, Grimm had long been afraid of these two strange fellows.
Judging from their appearance, the first one should be the famous Medusa.
Medusas were creatures that only had females and no males. As for how they reproduced, it was not something Grimm knew.
This was a strange Medusa that was tall, yet had a perfect blend of strength and elegance.
She stood tall and straight, her upper body was in the shape of a beautiful human woman with exquisite curves. Her naked body was covered with a layer of indigo-colored sharp scales, densely packed and stacked on top of each other.
The two bulging bulges on his chest were so majestic and huge that it looked like two footballs were stuffed under his scales. Furthermore, they swayed slightly with every movement she made, which was very eye-catching.
Her six arms that were also covered in fine scales were holding different types of weapons and defensive equipment. They glowed with magic, and one could tell that they were special magical weapons at first glance.
She dragged a ten-meter-long snake tail behind her, which was able to support her body as she slithered across the rugged ground.
As for her sharp cheeks, they were in line with the aesthetics of humans, making her look very beautiful and charming. However, those long and narrow pupils, her bright purple lips, and her head of wriggling snake hair … all of these clearly showed how terrifying and cruel she was!
Although Grim had Medusae among his subordinates, this was his first time seeing a Tier 4 Intermediate Medusa.
Such a monster was capable of both close and long-range attacks. It also had a powerful Petrification Esper Ability. It was also an exceptionally difficult magical creature to deal with!
Not far from her, there was a strange existence standing upright.
Seriously speaking, the fourth guy was a huge and hazy blue light.
Amidst the dense blue light, one could vaguely see the outline of a strange bone model outlined by the starry white light spots. It looked like a human but not a human, like a beast but not a beast. It was extremely strange.
A Star Spirit … This was a Star Spirit from the Spirit Realm!
Grim was screaming in his mind.
Damn it, I didn't see this special creature exclusive to the Spirit Realm the last time I came here. I didn't expect to encounter it in the boundless depths of the Star Sea.
This kind of Star Spirit was a special life form. They did not have flesh and blood, nor did they have a torso. They only had a strange body filled with psionic energy. They could convert any kind of magical energy into strange psionic energy and use it to cast powerful secret psionic spells.
As psionic energy and most supernatural abilities did not belong to the same energy system, normal creatures had no way of defending against psionic energy.
According to the records of some Magi who had come into contact with psionic energy, elemental spells were not very effective in defending against it. Instead, pure energy shields were more effective.
Some Magi had analyzed it and believed that psionic energy was a strange power formed from the combination of psionic force and pure energy. The only way to kill a Star Spirit was to destroy the psionic shell around their body and the psionic core that contained their souls.
However, it was easier said than done. A powerful Star Spirit was much more difficult to deal with than a spellcaster of the same rank. That was why Grim was unwilling to make an enemy out of a Star Spirit unless absolutely necessary.
"Sand King, enough with the nonsense!" The seductive Medusa swam over. "He was invited by Congnus. Don't you trust his judgment?"
The Sand King waved the two pairs of pincers in front of him. "The Lich loves to fight. It will only pull in newcomers it can't take down. Looks like this Flaming Man has some tricks up his sleeves. "
"Alright, since everyone is here, Congnus, tell us about the mission. If anyone doesn't want to participate, please leave as soon as possible. Don't be a burden when the time comes … "The Star Spirit took a step forward and used a strange mental language to shake the void.
Grim's eyes narrowed under the shadow of his hood. Blue light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
[Beep. Strange magical energy detected. Unable to be categorized into current magic system … Host, please name this magical energy.]
"Psionic energy!"
[Beep. A new energy system has been established. Name: Psionic energy. This energy is a combination of powerful psionic force and pure void energy. It has the powerful ability of Ability Empowerment and Spiritual Injection …]
"Ability Empowerment … What kind of ability is that?"
[Beep. Psionic energy is a special type of mental energy. It is a manifestation of the materialization of psionic force. According to the level of psionic energy, it can be represented by red, green, yellow, and blue. Red is the highest and blue is the lowest. This means that when the color of the psionic energy changes, it is a sign that its energy level has increased!]
[Ability Empowerment is a strange way of using psionic energy. Star Spirits can attach psionic energy to the surface of matter at will to simulate some special magical effects. For example, explosion, decomposition, disturbance, binding …]
Just as Grim was silently observing the Star Spirit and analyzing the strange psionic energy around it, the Star Spirit seemed to have sensed something.
A pair of yellow lights lit up in the depths of the blue cloud and scanned Grim from afar.
The yellow light that represented the Star Spirit's power clashed with the red light that shot out from Grim's eyes. An energy ripple visible to the naked eye swept out, and both sides could not help but take a step back, their expressions turning solemn at the same time.
The pale blue energy cloud around Star Spirit's body began to change color, turning into a dense yellow color.
This meant that the psionic energy in Star Spirit's body was increasing and was on the brink of battle.
"Alright, enough is enough!" Congonus, the lich in charge, had no choice but to step forward. "We're dealing with a grade 4 frost dragon. Save your energy and vent it on that fellow!"
With those cold words, one of the teeth hanging from Congonus's waist exploded. Then, a ten-meter-long, one-meter-wide, two-meter-high Bone Wall rose from the ground, separating Grimm and Celestial from each other.
The two glared at each other coldly. They had no intention of fighting and were only using this small conflict to show off their strength. While the energy ripple that exploded in the air wasn't strong, it was enough to show off their basic strength.
The scorpion-like Sand King and the snake-haired Sessiana couldn't help but look at each other. They could feel the unsettling presence of laws from the energy ripple.
"Alright, since everyone's here, I'll give you a brief introduction!"
Congonus's body floated half a meter above the ground, his scarlet soulfire coldly staring at the group.
"The Sand King comes from a strange plane called Dune Castle. It's the ruler there and rules a complete small plane. It's proficient in sand-type attacks. It's good at covering and attacking. Not to mention, its defense is the strongest among us! "
Nobody could refute that.
Just looking at the Sand King's thick, pale golden shell alone was enough to tell how strong its defense was. Most insect-type creatures had strong vitality, which was something other races could only envy.
"Hehe, don't flatter me, skeleton! You're putting me on a pedestal because you want me to be your meat shield, right? Let me make this clear. If there's equipment that I can use in that old dragon's lair, nobody's allowed to fight me for it … "The Sand King's green compound eyes rolled as he warned through gritted teeth.
"Nobody's going to fight you for it!" Congonus's white jawbone quivered, producing a crisp sound. "The Lamia Sessiana walks the path of high agility. Me, Pyro, and Turas are all spellcasters. If there's really that Earth's Barrier, it'll definitely be yours."
Only after getting the lich's confirmation did the Sand King shut his mouth in satisfaction.
"The Lamia Sessiana comes from the Shadowsong Plane. She's a moderately powerful lord there, with close to ten thousand lamias under her command. She's best at close-range combat and petrifying attacks … "
After hearing the lich's introduction, the Lamia Sessiana nodded proudly without any intention of introducing herself.
"Turas, the Astral Soul, hails from the Soul Realm. That's a powerful plane comparable to the Magus World. He's best at the mystical psionic energy. As for his abilities … "Congonus paused, not knowing how to describe the strange psionic energy.
"There's no need to introduce Sir Turas. I'm sure everyone here knows how powerful and strange a creature like the astral soul is. There's no need to waste your breath! "Grimm smiled.
He could tell that this wasn't the first time they'd met. They seemed to have a tacit understanding of each other. He was probably the only newbie among them.
"Then, Lord Pyro, would you like to introduce yourself, or should I?" Congonus asked coldly.
"I'll do it myself!" Grimm stepped forward, "My name is Grimm. You can call me Pyro. I come from the Magus World, where I have a small fiefdom in the middle of the continent. As for my forte … it's fire spells! I believe that's one of the reasons Lord Congonus invited me here! "
After the brief introduction, Grimm immediately felt that the other people's vigilance was reduced a little.
