Half an hour later, Cthuna flew out of the Nightmare Castle and headed north at a high speed.
Grimm's expression was solemn as he watched her gradually disappear into the distance. He lowered his head and muttered to himself.
"How is it? Is the other party's offer hard to accept?" Due to her heavy injuries, Mary did not participate in the 'negotiation' just now.
After some quick treatment and consuming enough blood, Mary's injuries had all been healed. She had regained her former beauty and charm.
This was the most revered and troublesome aspect of the vampires!
However, the 'aftereffects' of the previous battle had not subsided. Strands of purple smoke could be seen everywhere in Mary's limbs and bones. As long as the purple smoke was present, Mary's racial talent of sucking blood to heal herself could not be used.
In her body that had just been repaired, there were faint crackling sounds everywhere. That was the sound of her body being destroyed by the strange energy once again.
Her body instinctively repaired the damage on her body, but every time it was repaired, it would be crushed by the strange energy again. Mary was probably the only one who could understand the pain brought to her from the repetitive tug-of-war.
Even so, Mary was still smiling like a flower. From her appearance, one could not tell that her body had been turned to mush and her bones had exploded!
Grimm withdrew his gaze and looked at Mary with a pained expression. He said lovingly, "You've passed the most dangerous threshold. You don't have to worry about the rest. Just focus on healing your injuries! I've extracted a portion of this strange purple energy. Once I've researched it, I'll be able to help you get rid of its influence. Before that, you should sleep in the blood coffin for a while. It can also alleviate the pain in your body … "
"The situation has not stabilized yet. Those guys around us are also eyeing us covetously. I'll have to endure it for a while …" Mary was rarely calm today. She directly stated their current situation.
When Gloria showed her strength to suppress the two of them, Cthuna and Stephen chose to show up and force her to retreat. This resulted in both sides suffering heavy losses. Grimm and Mary were badly injured, but Gloria was not much better off. Otherwise, she would not have retreated from the battlefield so easily.
After the battle, although Grim and Mary were seriously injured, they could only pretend to be slightly injured. Once the news that the two of them were seriously injured spread, who knew what kind of trouble those big shots in the central region who had been suppressed would cause.
Grim had already made up his mind. At this moment, if the big shots of the central continent still didn't know their place, he would use the cruelest and bloodiest methods to eradicate their families as a warning to others.
But before that, he could only endure … Endure until Mary's injuries were healed, and endure until his physical strength and mental strength recovered. At that time, with the two of them working together, the central region would be his, and no one would dare to attack him like now.
Before he hurriedly hid in the secret chamber to treat his injuries, Grimm used his authority as the Crimson Patriarch to send Meryl and Emelia a list of resources.
After this battle, the Nightmare Castle could be considered half-destroyed. More than half of the subsidiary buildings had collapsed, and even the main five-storey castle had several large holes in it. All the secrets within were revealed without a doubt.
In the past, when Freid had built this castle, he had considered the sturdiness and magic resistance of the castle the most. Hence, the castle's main body was mainly made of steel rock and obsidian. Now that the castle had become Mary's nest, the sturdiness was no longer that important. Instead, the compatibility with the blood elemental energy had risen to the top.
Hence, in Grimm's long list of resources, the Bloodessence Stone was at the top. It was a special material that was extremely compatible with the blood elemental energy. As for the amount of the material, Grim gave a shocking figure: 27 tons.
This was the lowest the A.I. Chip could calculate. If it was any less, the repaired Nightmare Castle would lose the miraculous effect Grimm had hoped for.
Although the Bloodessence Stone was not as rare as the Void Stone or the Propagation Flower, 27 tonnes was still a terrifying amount. If converted into magic crystals, it was likely that most Tier 4 Magi would collapse.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Crimson Family was now the most powerful family in the central part of the continent and was only one step away from becoming a super family, they probably wouldn't be able to gather such a shocking amount of blood essence stones even if they sold everything they had.
If his family did not have enough, he would look for other families. If the families in the central continent still did not have enough, he could go to the surrounding organisations to purchase them. Such tedious matters would naturally be handled by his subordinates. All Grimm needed to do was to accurately assess his family's strength and make his requests.
After beating up the other large families, the Crimson Family had never made any excessive or harsh requests. If everything remained the same, what was the point of the Crimson Family unifying the central continent? Now that he was looking for Bloodessence Stones, he could use this opportunity to test and understand the various large families' acceptance of the Crimson Family.
The various large Tier 4 organisations were the top Magus families in the central continent. They had their own systems and were used to being free and undisciplined. They had never accepted the control and control of another Magus family. Hence, anger, quarrels, and wrangling were unavoidable. The key was how much they were willing to pay for the appearance of peace.
This was what Grimm wanted to find out the most!
After handing over all the miscellaneous matters to the Crimson Family, Grimm did not hesitate to hide in a secret room and began to carefully examine the strange purple energy.
This was the only intact Witchcraft Chamber that remained intact.
There were a few mysterious spell formations slowly operating in the middle of the room. They were all specially modified and strengthened imprisonment spell formations.
In the center of every Magus Formation, there was a dot of purple light that was quickly moving about.
They seemed to have intelligence and could constantly absorb the magic energy in the surrounding void to strengthen themselves. They also had the basic offensive and defensive instincts of creatures with basic intelligence.
Hence, Grimm's modification of the imprisonment spell formations completely cut off the flow of energy inside and outside, causing the purple glow to lose the chance to strengthen itself.
Moreover, the spell formations also cut off the connection between the purple glow and its main body. Without the main body's control, the purple glow seemed to be at a loss, only dashing about in the rune formation as if it was looking for a way to escape.
"A.I. Chip, have you detected the properties of this energy? What are they? "Grimm asked softly.
[Beep. Detection complete …]
[This energy is a mutant formed from the fusion of life energy and willpower. Its basic properties are great strength …]
"Great strength?" Grimm muttered to himself, "This matches the characteristics of the strength that Gria displayed in battle. Continue … "
"When the energy was formed, it was mixed with willpower. Although it was separated from the main body, it was still under the control of the main body …"
Grimm could not help but suck in a breath of cold air, "Doesn't this mean that after Gria sends the energy into the enemy's body, she can still control their subsequent attacks?"
"Yes! The mutant energy will still be under the complete control of the main body as long as it is within a kilometre of the main body. Due to the connection of thoughts, there is no delay or delay in time. However, this willpower can be isolated and weakened by spells. The exact effect depends on the rank and strength of both parties … "
After listening to the A.I. Chip's analysis, Grimm's eyes lit up.
This method of fusing one's own life energy and willpower into great strength was the privilege of close combat Magi. As a 'Magus of half laws', it was difficult for him to make use of it.
However, if he could refine this method, it would be quite suitable for Mary!
Mary herself had the ability to control blood, and if she could obtain this special method of using her strength, her battle strength would definitely increase by quite a bit.
Since he knew that the purple glow was a combination of life energy and willpower, Grimm would definitely have a way to separate them. However, even without the control of willpower, this pure life energy still had great research value for Grimm.
He had never been able to find out what the supreme magic weapon in Gria's hands was. Perhaps by studying her life energy, he would be able to unravel his doubts. At the very least, he would be able to find out which family and which type of magic the weapon belonged to.
Do not look down on this insignificant bit of information. With enough time, he would be able to find out where Gria's weakness lay.
Truth be told, this was the first time in Grimm's history that he had been bullied so viciously and sullenly.
As long as he could get through this difficult period and find a weakness in his enemies, Grimm did not mind using the most ruthless methods to retaliate.
This was especially so for Gria … It was time to let her know how powerful the central continent's Magi were!
There weren't many people in the central continent who knew about the battle between the super powerhouses that took place in the Nightmare Castle. Everyone who knew chose to keep their mouths shut, silently assessing the impact of this matter.
Firstly, it affected the hearts of people!
Once again, the Magus Association's attack did not achieve the desired result.
The supreme beings had come and gone, but Grimm was still alive and kicking in Nightmare Castle. He even had the spare time to send envoys to various Magus families to collect large amounts of precious resources.
This caused those who had temporarily lowered their heads and waited for the changes to arrive to feel abnormally dejected and depressed. They wanted to forcefully reject the Crimson Family's unreasonable extortion and extortion, but without a leader, any single rank 4 organisation or rank 4 Magus would not dare to go against the Legendary Fire Magus who was currently in the limelight.
