The first wave of the mana wave had finally ended.
When Clara and the others returned to the central continent through the teleportation formation, the entire region was shaken.
While Grimm had the title of a legendary Fire Wizard, he had never fought against the other organisations head on. Hence, no one knew how powerful his title was.
During this trip to the Sorcerer Association, several major forces had come out to show their faces. In comparison, the central continent had the powerful Magus Grimm, and could be compared to the three major organisations in every aspect.
Not only did this deeply inspire the Magi of the central continent, the Grade 4 Magi were also honoured and honoured for the first time.
Eight had left, but six had returned. Alisa had unfortunately died in battle, and Grimm's whereabouts were a mystery. However, the prestige and aura of the central continent had been lifted. Everywhere was filled with a sense of joy, as if the central continent was about to prosper.
It was said that Grimm had fought a flame projection of the Fire God Runai, and then disappeared. Mary, who had been guarding the spatial crack, hurried back to the Blazing Flame Monarch.
By the time they arrived, the Monarch had been razed to the ground by a mysterious force. Even the Blazing Cavern had collapsed into a lava lake that spanned five to six kilometres.
It wasn't just the Blazing Cavern. Even the Dark Forest, which had once been filled with life, had turned into a scorched land. Within their line of sight, there were seething heatwaves and thick black pillars of smoke.
Mary was perched high on the bow of the flagship, the Vasero, leaning over to look at everything.
Her brows were tightly furrowed, and her pretty face was deathly pale. She was caught unprepared by the abnormalities.
Behind her, the dozen or so Scarlet Magi were also watching. All of them were silent, looking deeply worried.
"Are you sure Grimm returned here?" Mary suddenly asked coldly.
Emelia took a step forward and calmly analysed the situation, "According to Clara and the others, the master left the battlefield alone three days ago. The abnormalities here happened three days ago as well. I've asked the Magi on duty at Songta City. When the Blazing Flame Monarch was in trouble, they sent people to investigate underground, but they were forced out by the fiery aura. It seems … "
"Seems like what?"
"The intensity of the underground flames seems to be over a thousand degrees. Even a rank 3 Magus wouldn't be able to see through the lava lake …"
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.
Just the intensity of the flames on the periphery had already reached a thousand degrees. Just what level had the Blazing Flame Monarch reached? Could the master's Wizard's Pagoda have already been engulfed by the Earth Fire?
The Blazing Flame Monarch was the Wizard's Pagoda that belonged to the leader of the family. Out of all the Scarlet Wizards present, only Mary could enter and leave freely. However, now that something had happened to the Blazing Flame Monarch, something seemed to have happened to the teleportation formation inside as well.
As such, these Crimson Family members had actually lost direct contact with Grimm!
"No, I have to find out what's going on with Grim. All of you stay here, I'll go down and take a look myself. "With that, Mary flapped her wings and prepared to dive down.
At this moment, a clear and sweet female voice suddenly sounded from behind.
"Sister Mary, wait!"
Mary's delicate body froze in mid-air before she slowly turned around.
Three Magi walked out of the cabin of the Vasero Warship, one in front and one behind.
Seeing the young and beautiful Magus in front of them, many of the Scarlet Wizards present hurriedly bowed in greeting.
"Greetings, Lady Alice!"
It was the leader of the Witches of Destiny, Alice, who had left the Magus World some time ago. Behind her were the Ice Witch Chave and the Violent Witch Sofia.
"I think we've agreed before that whoever's more powerful will be the big sister. Why, are you sure you can defeat me now? "For some reason, Mary could never calm down when she saw Alice. She flapped her wings and slowly flew back to the deck, looking at Alice with a gaze full of coercion.
"Grim's whereabouts are unknown. Are you going to challenge me now?" Alice smiled sweetly, her expression relaxed.
However, behind her, Chave and Sofia looked at Mary with unfriendly gazes.
Mary rolled her eyes and then started giggling.
The Violent Witch Sofia, who had a bad temper, hugged her thick wooden rod and said coldly, "What are you laughing at? Your man is about to die, and you can still laugh? "
Mary immediately laughed even more heartily. She gasped for breath and said, "You scolded me well! Don't forget, my man is also your leader's man … If you really curse Grim to death, Alice will kill you! "
Alice's face immediately turned red when she heard that, and she glanced at Sophia in annoyance. She then calmed herself down and said solemnly, "Mary, you can't go down there. None of us here can."
"What's wrong? Is Grimm really down there?" Mary flew in front of Alice. She finally stopped smiling and asked anxiously.
"Yes, he's down there." Alice nodded. "Before coming here, I did a divination for him. He's still safe, and there's no danger to his life. Although there's a small risk, everything will turn for the better! "
"Then why didn't he come out to meet us?" Mary asked.
"You know about his situation. He's already half a step into level-5, but due to his lack of mental strength, he forcefully delayed his advancement. He seems to have gained something from this trip to the association, and has been forced into hibernation. This hibernation will last for a long time, and when he comes out, he'll probably be a level-5 Magus … "For some reason, when Grim's advancement was mentioned, there was not a hint of joy on Alice's face.
Hearing this, Mary's expression was mixed with joy and worry, as if she had thought of something difficult to decide on.
The higher-ups of the Crimson Family did not have such concerns, and all the Magi's faces were brimming with admiration and envy.
Their master's pace was getting faster and faster, to the point where they could no longer keep up with him!
Every time they thought of this, their expressions would become complicated, and they would sigh inwardly. However, they were also sincerely happy for their master.
The Crimson Family … was finally going to have a great Magus!
To the Crimson Magi, Grim's advancement to level-5 was a great honor for the family. However, to Alice and Mary, this also meant that they would have to temporarily separate from Grim.
In the past, they had been busy with their own things, and had not had much free time to gather together. However, they were in the same world, and could see each other at any time, so they did not have to worry about each other.
However, if Grim really advanced to level-5, it would be time for him to leave for the outer regions!
At that time, it would not be as easy for them to see him again.
If the two girls were unable to keep up with Grim's pace, they would only be left further and further behind. When that time came, they would only be able to hide in the dark and silently admire his glory, and would not be able to get close to him.
Thinking of this, the previous grudge between the two women vanished into thin air.
Now that she had Alice's guarantee, Mary did not persist in investigating further.
The two girls gathered together for a simple discussion, and immediately issued a series of orders.
With this lava lake as the centre, the area within a 50-kilometre radius was designated as the central forbidden zone, and no Magi other than the Crimson Family were allowed to enter. In order to ensure that Grim would not be disturbed, a giant airship would be stationed in the Lava Lake area, and high-ranked Magi from the family would be stationed there in turns.
Alice and Mary would go to various places and begin to consolidate the Magi forces in the central region.
Unexpectedly, although Grim did not show up, none of the grade 4 Magi in the central region showed any hostility or resistance. This was especially so for the six old fellows who had followed Grim through the Planar War, and all of them had become admirers of the legendary Fire Magus.
Even Matthew and Nicholas, who had always been at odds with the Crimson Family, changed their attitudes and became even more enthusiastic about the consolidation of the central region's forces.
In the end, all the grade 4 Magi in the central region agreed to form the Horton Academy to consolidate the forces of the large families, forming the fourth largest Magus organisation in the Magus World. Moreover, this Horton Academy was an open organisation, and did not restrict the identity of the people who wanted to join.
If that was the case, many Magi and acolytes in the territories of the three major organisations would be eager to join them.
However, it wasn't easy to organize such a grand event in one go!
Regarding the Horton Academy's faculties, the division of subjects, the appointment of professors, the deployment of personnel, the construction of resource points, the establishment of laboratories, the distribution of internal benefits … Too many trivial matters were all placed on the heads of Mary, Alice, and the group of Crimson Sorcerers.
The central region used to be known as the Scattered Forest of Towers, which meant that each of the large families had their own interests and ways of ruling their families.
Now, they needed to give up a portion of their family's territory, Wizard's Pagoda, and resource points, and then take care of their family's interests within the organisation … Such a small yet intricate negotiation was not something that could be concluded in just one or two rounds.
All of the higher-ups of the Crimson Family shuttled back and forth between the various large grade 4 factions, negotiating, negotiating, compromising, and doing behind-the-scenes deals … Everyone was extremely busy, working their hearts out for the establishment of the fourth largest organisation.
Finally, after five years of preparation, the negotiations between all the grade 4 factions came to an end. The Crimson Family began to announce to the three large Magus organisations that the Horton Academy in the central region of the continent would officially become the fourth largest Magus organisation in the Magus World.
