He actually met some 'acquaintances' here. Grimm could not help but sigh inwardly at the wonders of fate.
However, before he could finish lamenting, the scene before him made his heart throb.
What appeared in front of Grimm was a large and spacious crystal hall with many high-grade wizards gathered inside. When Grimm stepped into the hall, everyone's gazes turned to him, and waves of spiritual pressure pressed down on him, causing the expression of the young Magus beside him to change.
Grimm's expression changed slightly. He took a step forward, shielding the young witch behind him as he coldly faced the overwhelming mental pressure that bombarded them.
Without hesitation, Grimm's overflowing spiritual force formed a silver shield of light in front of him. At the same time, the four law halos in his body manifested, transforming into four strange runes that shone on the shield of light.
* Bang … *
There was no loud explosion, no ear-piercing rumble. The earth-shattering collision occurred on the invisible and intangible spiritual plane.
Grimm's expression stiffened, and his body trembled slightly as his feet sank into the crystal floor.
Inside the hall, more than 30 Great Magi grinned foolishly. Some of the more impatient ones could not help but mutter.
"Fall … Fall … Hurry up and fall …"
Grimm's body trembled as if he had been struck by lightning. His consciousness also went numb, and he had no idea where he was. However, the four-colored law runes on the shield of light began to circulate wildly, devouring the waves of spiritual force. This was the only reason Grimm's mental defense did not crumble.
If Grimm was really a Great Magus who had just advanced to Tier 5, he would have fallen to the ground in a daze. However, the powerful protection of laws coupled with the tenacious spiritual barrier made it so that his spiritual defense was not the least bit weaker than those old Magi who had been around for a thousand years.
Therefore, Grimm only swayed a few times before he withstood the impact of the mental shockwave and stood firmly on the spot. However, the violent spiritual force had nowhere to vent, so it was channeled into the ground, causing the crystal floor within a dozen meters of him to crack.
His feet also sank into the ground involuntarily.
"Why isn't he falling?"
"Isn't he a newcomer?"
"Zamur, is your information accurate …"
The hall immediately erupted with a spiritual voice that was like a spatial storm. Numerous spiritual consciousnesses moved about freely and expressed their shock and pity, causing the weather in this large area to change, and various phenomena appeared.
"Alright, all of you shut up!"
Suddenly, an incomparably tyrannical spiritual consciousness soared into the sky and suppressed all the messy spiritual waves.
All the great shamans' expressions changed slightly but they were helpless and could only withdraw their overflowing spiritual consciousness.
"Remember, from now on, you're not allowed to play such boring games with me. Hmph! "
The atmosphere in the hall immediately became relaxed.
Although Grimm didn't know what they were talking about, he was able to sense the source of the mental fluctuation with his sharp mental perception.
This was a spacious, oval crystal hall that resembled an opera house. The hall was high on the left and low on the right, with rows of seats arranged in a staircase. There were more than a thousand of them, but only thirty-six Magi were seated here and there, all of them rank 5.
On the right side of the hall, at the heart of the oval hall, there were five crystal seats arranged side by side. However, only a white-bearded old man sat on the second seat from the left. Looking at his old age, no one would suspect anything even if he fell dead on the spot.
But when Grim looked at this person, his eyes were filled with deep reverence.
This was because most of the people present were light red in his perception, with only a few appearing dark red or even dark red. However, this white-bearded old man was a piercing dark purple in his eyes …
Light red meant a slight threat, dark red meant a moderate threat, dark red meant a great threat, and dark purple meant extreme danger!
The battle between the great shamans had obviously shocked the young Magus quite a bit. She hurriedly bowed to the white-bearded old man and ran out of the hall without looking back.
The white-bearded old man was also sizing Grimm up with interest.
He used his sharp fingernails to pick up the magic scroll on the crystal table and softly recited, "Grimm, a newly advanced Magus from the Taryn region of the Magus World. Magus of laws, specialising in fire …"
As the white-bearded old man recited, many of the great Magi looked at Grimm with an indecipherable expression. The few people who had been specially marked as dangerous by the A.I. Chip were also sizing him up, their gazes revealing a trace of hostility.
"Alright, since everyone is here, we can start assigning tasks!" The white-bearded old man clapped his hands, and an inviolable aura spread out, "Magus Grimm, you should also find a place to sit!"
Grimm acknowledged in a deep voice, and with a sweep of his eyes, he chose a relatively spacious corner and sat down.
There were close to a thousand people in the large space, but there were only about thirty or forty people sitting. The entire hall was naturally empty. However, everyone present was a great Magus, and each of them had a large or small spiritual barrier. They would definitely not allow a complete stranger to get too close to them.
Thus, under the cover of the huge halo, not only did the hall not seem relaxed, it even seemed a little tense.
"Some of you might already know who I am, but some still don't. Let me introduce myself." The white-bearded old man chuckled, "My name is Gleeson, and I'm the person in charge of this recruitment mission. I'll also be the one who distributes tasks for you during this time. So, if you want to get through this beast hunting campaign safely and return with a bountiful harvest, you'd better behave yourself … "
After saying this, the white-bearded old man's eyelids drooped, and his small eyes that could barely open suddenly shot out a pure, cold glint that seemed to have substance, coldly sweeping across everyone's faces. Every single rank 5 Magus who met his gaze could not help but feel a chill in their hearts, and they took the initiative to look away.
"Perhaps some of you are participating in a large-scale Planar War for the first time, so I'll briefly explain the rules of war.
"First of all, our main target for this campaign is the rank 8 Orc God, Ah *. This guy is also known as the One-Eyed Tyrant, a tyrannical, cruel, and bloodthirsty powerful god. The tribes and believers under his rule are all tyrannical and fearsome warriors.
"Under him, there are close to twenty Gods of various sizes, all of whom are Orc Gods skilled in combat and killing. If we include those Lord God clones, divine clones, consciousness projections, or Oracles, the enemy we're facing is also very powerful.
"However, you don't have to be too afraid. Ah * and his subordinates will only hide in their divine kingdoms and fly into a rage, not daring to take even half a step out of their divine kingdoms. Therefore, only their avatars or consciousnesses will appear on the battlefield. "
"Those big shots will definitely be dealt with by more powerful Magi, so everyone here will have to work harder to ensure the normal operation of our subsidiary legions and foreign legions. The rough and tiring work of attacking planes will naturally be taken over by our subordinates. We will be their barrier, ensuring that they will not be attacked by the Orcs' transcendent power.
"Normally, you don't have to personally go to the frontlines. You just need to oversee things here. When your strength is needed, we'll teleport you there. If you want to fight with those Orc God clones, you can do so. If you don't want to fight, use your strength to force the enemy to stop them from interfering with our attack force … "
"How about it? Do you understand the nature of the mission?"
Grimm nodded silently. Sure enough, it was similar to the information he had gathered.
From the looks of it, it would be very easy for them to come out and reap the rewards of this mission. Moreover, there was one thing that Wizard Gleeson did not say clearly. Every Orc God clone would have some Shard of Divinity in their body.
As long as they dared to take the risk and kill the lowest-ranked Orc God clone, the Shard of Divinity alone would be more than enough to cover the rewards of this mission.
However, Orc Gods were very good at fighting, and ordinary Magi would not dare to think of taking advantage of them.
"I've said so much. You must be very curious about how our missions are usually distributed. Alright, I'll let you take a look now! " The white-bearded Gleeson sneered and snapped his fingers. The crystal wall behind him suddenly became clear and transparent, revealing another scene behind it.
Behind the crystal wall, there was another huge ring-shaped space. In the center, a huge crystal cluster stood upright, almost piercing through the entire Giant Rock Castle.
Surrounding the crystal wand were densely packed with white-robed Magi. Most of their bodies seemed to be embedded in the crystal wand, and only a small portion of their faces, including their mouths, noses, and ears, were exposed.
In the periphery of the ring-shaped space, there were as many as eleven places like the crystal hall that Grimm was in. The layout of all the crystal halls was similar, like flower petals surrounding the periphery of the ring-shaped space, quietly clustered together.
Through the distant space and the transparent crystal wall, Grimm could even see the powerful Magi sitting in the crystal hall with their eyes closed.
Seeing this scene, Grimm was shocked.
There were twelve crystal halls in total. If the number of Magi in each hall was the same, it meant that there were almost five hundred Magi gathered in this Giant Rock Castle.
This did not include the Magi who were rank 5 and above.
