However, after a self-examination, Grimm realised that his greatest growth came from his fire spells.
Following his analysis of the heart of laws, Grimm had started to fuse many different laws of fire together, forming his own style of laws of fire — the Inextinguishable Flames.
It was so terrifying that even powerful beings had to be wary of it!
The only thing Grimm needed to do now was to follow the tempering method that the Flame Sovereign King had given him. He had to slowly refine the flames in his body into flames of laws, and then use them to slowly transform his body.
Once his body was completely compatible with the unique laws of fire like the Inextinguishable Flames, Grimm would have completed the transformation of his body of laws, and could now prepare to advance to rank 5. Before this, he had only been a half-step Magus of laws!
The A.I. Chip estimated that it would take him 218 years to transform his body of laws. All he had to do now was slowly accumulate the power of laws of fire and raise his spiritual force. The moment he reached the peak of rank 4 in these two aspects, Grimm would successfully advance to rank 5.
After completing today's medicinal bath, Grimm once again put on the soft armour made from the hide of a fire dragon. Although he could use spells to create all sorts of simple clothing after becoming a rank 4 Magus, it was impossible for items made from energy to have the strange properties of magic artifacts.
The internal structure and rune system of magic artifacts were too complicated, and he could not replicate them with his current knowledge and strength.
Hence, he treasured the hide of a fire dragon which had such powerful defensive properties!
After putting on his clothes, Grimm took a step forward, and his entire body disappeared into the flames that soared into the sky.
In the corner of another secret chamber, a flame suddenly appeared, and Grimm stepped out of it.
There was a small pool in the corner of the room, filled with dazzling, strange waves of light. The pool was seven metres long, five metres wide, and three metres tall, and it was filled with a strange liquid filled with a dense aura of light elemental energy. The liquid also contained an indescribable aura of life.
If Grimm did not explain, perhaps no one would be able to associate this strange liquid with human blood.
But it was indeed blood!
That's right, even Grim did not expect that after analyzing a drop of the Light Wizard Geradin's Origin Blood, he had used a large amount of rare resources and analyzed genetic information to replicate the blood.
Standing at the edge of the pond, one could feel that the liquid light in the pond was clear and pure.
As the water rippled, all kinds of mysterious lights entered his eyes. Even Grimm couldn't help but be moved, and his mind became a little blurred.
As if sensing Grimm's gaze, the liquid of light vibrated, and a humanoid figure slowly rose from the center of the pool. Then, the light and shadow changed, and a transparent human figure that looked exactly the same as Grimm's figure appeared.
"Main body, what are you going to do with me? You can't imprison me like this forever, right? Life is free! Although you gave me my life, I still want to pursue freedom! "the transparent figure said indifferently. Even his voice was exactly the same as Grimm's.
Grim furrowed his brows.
Speaking of which, he could not believe that the blood of the Light Wizard Geradin, which he had spent such a huge price to replicate, still maintained a strange mental connection with his main body.
Although Geradin, who was far away in the eastern part of the continent, could not sense that a clone had suddenly appeared due to the isolation of the Wizard's Pagoda, the transparent figure in front of him did indeed have some of the power of the Apostle of Light.
The transparent figure in front of him had blood filled with dense Light Element, and it had a Law of Light similar to Geradin's. The only difference between it and Geradin was that Geradin had hundreds of years of memories and emotions, while the former was just a pure soul formed with a portion of Grimm's mental energy as its core.
Other than that, there was almost no difference between the two.
Furthermore, as long as he let it out of the pagoda, Geradin would be able to sense the abnormality even if he was at the end of the world.
At that time, if Geradin chased after him, it would be difficult for Grimm to explain everything to him!
Thus, before he figured out how to use this strange figure of light, Grimm did not plan to let it out to attract trouble.
"If I let you go, what will you do?" Grimm could not help but ask curiously.
"I'll go find that Geradin, and fight him. If he wins, he'll fuse with me. If I win, I'll fuse with him. After all, there can only be one Apostle of Light in this world, and it's either him or me! " The transparent figure of light only had basic intelligence, and had not learned the complex and cunning ability of humans to lie. On the other hand, his strength was only at the Initial Grade 4, one rank lower than Gerrard.
"It's impossible for you to defeat him!" Grimm shook his head. "He has a real body, and as long as his life does not end, he can continuously produce Light Energy, but you can't. If you leave this pool of Light Liquid, you'll lose the ability to produce Light Energy, and your power will only decrease as you fight, until you're completely exhausted … "
Saying this, Grimm could not help but sigh again. "It's impossible for you to defeat him! After all, you're not a real lifeform … "
"Then how can I become a real lifeform?" The transparent figure of light asked curiously.
"First, you need to have a core that can hold your spiritual will and the origin of your soul. Next, you need to build yourself a body that is compatible with the origin of light …" Grimm did not hide anything from this figure of light, and was sincerely helping 'it' plan.
After all, the figure of light had a strand of his spiritual force as its core. As long as he willed it, the other party's consciousness would dissipate, and its intelligence would be destroyed. Hence, there was no need to worry about it suddenly turning against him.
If he could really solve some problems, Grimm would immediately have another trustworthy helper at the rank 4 level!
"Don't worry, I'll try my best to gather some materials that are compatible with the light elemental essence, and help you build a real body. When that time comes, you'll be able to move around freely! Maybe you'll even find a chance to seize Geradin's power … "Grimm consoled.
"I understand! Thank you, main body! Remember to wake me up the next time you have something … "The transparent figure of light nodded, and its body dissipated into liquid light. It fell back into the pool and disappeared without a trace.
After leaving the pool of liquid light, Grimm arrived at an alchemy workshop in another corner of the secret room.
On a strange platform, the four-metre-tall, pitch-black body of the Shadow Fiend lay flat on it. Countless rays of alchemy light were engraved on the surface of its shadow steel body, which was covered in complicated and detailed runes and magic patterns.
In the previous battle at Nightmare Castle, the Shadow Fiend had suffered greatly at the hands of Gria, and its entire body had been smashed into pieces countless times.
Although the Shadow Fiend had the ability to breathe darkness and could heal itself in the Shadow Space, such a serious injury had caused its basic battle strength to drop significantly. Hence, Grimm had made some modifications to the Shadow Fiend's body, enhancing its ability to conceal itself and break through defences.
At the very least, after the modifications, the Shadow Fiend would not be like before, where it could not even pose a threat or pressure to powerful beings!
According to the A.I. Chip's calculations, the Shadow Fiend's rank would jump from mid-rank 4 to high-rank 4, and its lethality against elemental Magi would increase by several folds. With such strength, it would not be a problem for it to crush an elementary rank 4 Magus.
Grimm waited silently for the Shadow Fiend's new magic patterns to be completed, and it floated on the experiment table once more. With a wave of his hand, the Shadow Fiend disappeared into the shadows like a ghost.
Grimm kept the Shadow Fiend, and just as he turned to leave the secret spell room, a message was transmitted to his mind.
"Astral spirit Turas? Why is it looking for me? "
Filled with curiosity, Grimm returned to his residence. He took out a blue crystal the size of a fingernail from a hidden cupboard by the wall and placed it on the communication crystal on the desk.
Strands of strange energy flowed out from the blue crystal, and the communication crystal suddenly became bright and clear.
Soon, when the light and shadow gradually stabilized, Turas's strange cloud-like body and the starry bone nodes that covered it slowly appeared.
"Long time no see, Grimm!"
"It has indeed been a long time! Why did you suddenly think of contacting me? "Grimm's tone did not contain the joy of reuniting with an 'old friend'.
These people were only temporary allies, and there was no such thing as trust or friendship between them. He had to be careful with every word Turas said, in case he fell victim to some trap or conspiracy.
However, as a rank 4 Magus on the same side, it was better to have more ways to go than to be alone without anyone to rely on. Hence, after the mission to obtain the Austere Winter's Chest, Grimm had contacted this Astral spirit about the interplanar trade, and the two of them had indeed crossed paths.
However, after a hundred years, the Astral spirit had suddenly contacted him, and it did not seem like they wanted to exchange resources. Hence, Grimm asked directly.
"Old friend, the Mana Tide has erupted. How's the situation over there?" Toras stared at Grimm with two balls of white light in his eye sockets. Obviously, he cared a lot about Grimm's answer.
"It's alright. It's a little bad, but it hasn't worsened to the worst case scenario! "Grimm gave a vague answer, obviously not going to tell Turas about the Magus World's actual situation.
"Of course. Your Magus World is one of the few advanced civilizations in the multiverse, and you have a great rank 9 Magus backing you up. The Mana Tide's early eruption won't be able to harm your foundations …" Turas sighed, "Our Astral Realm isn't the same. There are stragglers everywhere, and while their individual strength isn't weak, it's difficult to unite them to defend against the invaders."
"Oh, there's already an invasion?" Grimm could not help but be curious.
"It's the astral beast Hesmoto! That bastard barged into our Astral Realm and forcefully laid a Stoneheart Egg here. We're now searching everywhere for the embryo! "At this point, even Turas, who was usually calm and steady, could not help but curse out loud.
Hearing the words' Stoneheart Egg ', even Grimm could not help but shudder.
