"When it's time to act, I will naturally act!"
Grimm looked at the battlefield in the distance, his expression calm and indifferent.
"These central Magi usually think too highly of themselves, and they're used to being unrestrained. It won't be that easy to get them to submit. When I'm here, I naturally have a way to suppress them. But if I'm not here, how are you going to maintain the Crimson Family's power? "
Hearing Grimm's question, everyone present could not help but be stunned.
"Teacher, you … You're still so young. Why would you suddenly say something like that?" A worried expression appeared on Meryl's face, and her face was flushed red from the struggle.
"Meryl, don't be impatient. I don't think the Lord means that." Emelia was intelligent and meticulous, and a thoughtful expression appeared on her face as she probed, "Lord Family Leader, could it be that you're … about to take that step?"
That step …
This earth-shattering sentence made everyone present quiver. At the same time, their eyes widened as they stared fixedly at the tall and imposing figure in front of them.
This was the first time they had seen him.
The fiery energy that had been surging and expanding from the Lord Family Leader's body had been swept away. At this moment, Grimm was standing in front of them. If it wasn't for his familiar voice, figure, aura, and smell, they would have thought that he was just an ordinary human.
Yes, the Lord Family Leader's energy aura had been completely retracted, and what replaced it was a warmth that came from the heart and an inviolable dignity.
His smile was like spring, able to infect and invade people's hearts with an invisible and intangible power, causing them to feel endless warmth. His anger was like the flames of destruction, able to ignite a person's heart in the wildest and most tyrannical manner …
Previously, they had only vaguely sensed that their Lord Family Leader was powerful, but they had no idea how powerful he was. Hearing Emelia's question, everyone could not help but hold their breaths and focus, quietly waiting for their Lord Family Leader's reply.
Grimm's smile became even wider.
Everyone present was the Crimson Family's trusted aides, so there was naturally nothing to hide.
Grimm looked at the battlefield in the distance, and said softly, "That step is not so easy to take. I've only found a direction. As for taking that step, I'm afraid it'll take at least a hundred years … "
Even though Grimm's reply was nonchalant, the Crimson Core members could hear the underlying meaning behind it.
All that was left was the accumulation of time. Didn't that mean that the family head no longer had any problems in terms of resources, knowledge, and other aspects? A smooth path … Lord Patriarch's path to becoming a Great Sorcerer is already a smooth one!
The few Scarlet Core members' faces were filled with ecstasy and excitement, but their current identities forced them to 'calmly' digest this news.
For a time, everyone went silent, and all of them fell into boundless reverie.
The Lord Patriarch's meaning was very clear. In the next hundred years, he would probably put all his energy into the training and accumulation of that step. This way, the situation in the central continent could only be maintained and expanded by the Crimson Family.
Furthermore, the few people present here were all people that the Patriarch could trust and entrust to. In the future, they would probably have to shoulder a huge responsibility. While authority and status were gratifying, without the strength to match it, it was like sitting on a volcano.
Once the accumulated strength exploded, the consequences would be terrifying …
Fortunately, the Crimson Family had more than one rank 4 Magus. Apart from Grimm, there was also Mary and Armes. Armes was a pure-blooded dragon, after all. As an honorary elder of the family, he could only be a hired thug. However, to support the Crimson Family and the tens of thousands of Magi in the central continent, there was only the rank 4 Blood Queen Mary.
Of course, if anyone here could take another step forward, they would also have the chance to become the leader of the central continent.
That identity, that status, that power … Just thinking about it made the few people's ears redden, their hearts palpitate, and they found it difficult to control their emotions.
Stepping into rank 5, becoming a legend, and becoming a powerful Magus like a god in the Magus World … This was something they had fantasized about countless times in the middle of the night. However, they knew very well that this was just an illusion. It seemed close, but it was actually thousands of miles away. It was not something that people of their level could reach.
Hence, becoming a rank 4 Magus would enjoy endless glory and respect in the Magus World. This was the pinnacle of their lives.
To other Magi, this might just be a fantasy. However, to these core Magi of the Crimson Family, success was right in front of them. All they needed to do was put in a little bit of effort.
Everyone's breathing inexplicably became heavy.
Grimm did not turn around.
He also knew that his trusted subordinates needed a certain amount of time to digest such a heavy piece of news.
As the person closest to him, Grimm naturally hoped that Mary could continue on the path of a Magus and not get involved in the treacherous and unpredictable power struggles of the central continent.
Hence, it was best for the Crimson Family to groom a rank 4 successor as soon as possible. Meanwhile, the new Tier 4 candidate would definitely be chosen from among these people. Hence, Grim had revealed some information in advance to stimulate their fighting spirit and ambition.
Actually, ambition was not a bad thing.
As long as you had the strength to match your ambition, ambition would be a source of strength that would stimulate you to continuously strive and improve. However, if you did not match up, ambition would become a disaster. It would only turn a person into a madman and torment himself to death.
However, the future Crimson Family would have Grimm and Mary to protect them for hundreds of years. Hence, this batch of new talents would have plenty of time to grow and strengthen themselves.
As long as any one of them could successfully advance to rank 4, with the support of the Crimson Family and the legendary Fire Shaman, they would immediately become a top figure in the central continent. Such temptation was extremely great to everyone present here, and it was to the point that they were slightly restless and unable to control their emotions.
However, while their hearts were churning and thousands of thoughts were floating in their heads, blood and flesh were already flying on the distant battlefield, and the plan was revealed.
After a bloodbath, three out of the five Demon Lords and a high-grade Alchemist were heavily injured by the Magi. They were the Quasar, the Balrog, and the six-armed snake demon.
However, the Magi still lost this battle.
The reason for their failure was that no one could defend against the Abyssal Alchemist's unbridled attacks.
Indeed, Monash Gaia, Mary, and Andrews had gathered. Gaia, Mary, and Andrews had only barely managed to hold off the Abyssal Alchemist. On the other hand, the Abyssal Alchemist relied on its Demonic Teleportation spell to move freely across the battlefield. Wherever it went, everyone avoided it.
The terrifying Demonic Teleportation spell and the terrifying Blade of Massacre …
Every time the Abyssal Alchemist attacked, it meant that a rank 4 Magus had to face a life-or-death battle.
The rank 4 Magi had to contend with the powerful enemies while being wary of the Abyssal Alchemist's sneak attacks. To be honest, this kind of battle was excruciating!
Of everyone present, perhaps only Mary could use her extraordinary agility to catch up to the Abyssal Alchemist. However, she could not do it alone. Without being able to lure the Abyssal Alchemist into the Nightmare Castle, she could only display the strength of a mid-rank 4 Magus.
With this strength, it was obvious that it was not enough to stop the Abyssal Alchemist's wanton slaughter.
The only one who had the strength to face the Abyssal Alchemist head-on was Monash Gaia. Gaia. However, his 100-meter-tall body meant that his every movement was slow. Trying to catch up to the Abyssal Alchemist was simply wishful thinking.
If he forced himself too hard and the Abyssal Alchemist suddenly turned around, even Gaia might not be able to protect himself. Even Gaia could not guarantee that he would not be injured by the strange Blade of Massacre.
Hence, a comical scene akin to an eagle catching a chick appeared on the battlefield.
Mary danced around the Abyssal Alchemist like a tiny dragonfly, but she was unable to break through its defenses. The tall and mighty Gold Titan chased closely behind the Alchemist Fiend, bombarding it with lightning bolts.
However, the Abyssal Alchemist did not seem to care about this. It swayed its heavy body as it rampaged across the battlefield, chasing after pale-faced human Magi without the slightest scruple. Every now and then, it would activate a Precise Teleportation spell, silently appearing beside a rank 4 Magus and brandishing its greatsword with a sinister smile on its face.
The terrifying greatsword burned with Abyssal Flames, and every time it attacked, it would kill something!
The stronger humans might be able to rely on their resilient souls to resist the terrifying power, but those who were not strong enough could only rely on puppets or voodoo dolls to escape the fate of having their souls shattered.
In truth, the Abyssal Alchemist alone was enough to cause a huge ruckus among the Magi.
Every time it disappeared from its original spot, all the Magi present could not help but feel a sense of danger, and all of them felt a chill down their spines!
There was no helping it. The Abyssal Alchemist's attacks were too sharp, and if they failed to block it, they would die. They could not help but feel worried and fearful.
Up until now, there had not been any direct casualties among the rank 4 Magi. However, at this rate, it was only a matter of time before one or two rank 4 Magi died.
The human Magi's decline could no longer be concealed, and defeat was inevitable.
