Hastok's outdated knowledge had harmed him in the end.
Among the Grade 5 Sorcerers he had met in the past, there were plenty who could cast Grade 5 spells, so it wasn't surprising at all. However, those who could instantaneously cast a rank 5 spell were few and far between, to the point that it was almost unheard of.
The majority of those capable of such a feat were Tier 5 powerhouses. However, the young Fire Magus in front of him did not seem like the latter.
Of course, these Grade 5 spells might not have come from the Fire Magus himself, but from some powerful magic tool or divine weapon. However, a newbie who had just stepped into the fifth grade had two high-grade tools that could activate fifth grade spells. This … was simply too inconceivable!
It was precisely because of this knowledge that Hastok, who was not very sensitive to elements or laws, was at a disadvantage. If he had been able to detect that the purplish black liquid was a Grade 5 poison spell, he would not have been so shameless as to blow it up.
This time, he was in deep trouble!
The exploding corrosive liquid covered the surroundings in an instant. The sticky, smelly black liquid landed on his body, corroding it to the point where strange sizzling sounds could be heard. Flows of thick smoke emitted from his God Body, revealing the small holes on his body.
Although the Body of God was immune to all poisons in the world, it could not be completely immune to the poisonous liquid that contained the laws of poison.
Heystock roared loudly, and a tremendous amount of divine power transmitted from the faraway Divine Kingdom washed over the divine body that was being ravaged by the soft feet again and again, cleansing the vicious laws that were eroding his divine body.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Antuso and Bi Hua, who had fought for a long time without any results, charged forward once more. They surrounded the Tyrannical God and began fighting again.
Grimm took the opportunity to slip away, gulping down mouthfuls of Primary Life Fluid and high-grade healing potions as if they were free. Only then did he manage to force his body's regenerative abilities to heal the huge wound on his back.
The Primary Life Fluid was extracted from the essence of the Tree of Life of the elves. It was a life-saving divine water that could 'cure the dying' and 'heal the bones' in the plane. Unfortunately, for someone like Grim, whose life level had reached the limit of his physical body, the Primary Life Fluid was not as effective as it could be.
All it could do was stimulate his physical body and increase his basic recovery rate by a little.
It was the same for high-tier healing potions. In order to have any effect, the only way was to drink them by the ton. Otherwise, his body of laws would be able to stop any external substances from modifying and contaminating his body.
A battle between Grade-5 beings was so terrifying that even after they occupied a large battlefield, the small fries below Grade-5 could only hide far away, not daring to approach the battlefield.
Even the Type 4 Beastmen did not have the qualifications to participate in this level 5 battle.
Inside the plane, with the help of the Plane's power, a Grade-4 existence might be able to contend against a Grade-5 existence whose attack and defense were greatly reduced. However, once they left the Planar Space and entered the unrestrained Starry Void, the terrifying might of a Tier 5 lifeform was immediately revealed.
Everyone below Grade 5 was a mortal. Only by surpassing Grade 5 could one become a God in a single step and become a God-level lifeform that could roam the multiverse!
The few people present were undoubtedly peerlessly powerful Divine level lifeforms.
Thus, when they fought, the entire battlefield encompassed a huge space with a radius of nearly a hundred kilometers.
They could travel thousands of meters with a single flash, and dozens of kilometers with a single leap. Every punch and kick would cause ripples of power to sweep through the Void and shatter stars … If they were in the Planar Space, the battle between these seven Divine level lifeforms would be enough to destroy a small Planar Space.
Even if it was a middle-sized Planar Space, after being tossed around like this, most of them would be on the verge of death.
It could not be helped. The power they possessed far exceeded the limits of Planar Space creatures. They could split mountains with a single punch, split the earth with a single kick, and destroy everything within a hundred kilometers with a single spell.
In their frenzied battle, what they destroyed was not only the real matter that existed in reality, but also the formless and intangible Planar Space's laws.
In the space they resided in, even the Planar Space had to give way to them.
Wherever their power extended, the Planar Space's laws would be tampered with and rewritten, and the Planar Space's law system would be thrown into chaos. No matter how powerful the Planar Space's will was, it could not extinguish these strange laws that contained strong individual wills. It could only retreat step by step, and lose its bargaining chips bit by bit.
Fortunately, this was an empty Starry Void. Apart from the undulations and surging tides of mana, there was no annoying Planar Space's will. Thus, the few of them used their strengths to the fullest, and fought in the depths of the Void where the energy radiation was shocking. The world collapsed.
The Orc Warriors who were caught up in the god-level battle did not even have the chance to cry out before they were shredded into pieces by the energy ripples. On the other hand, the main force of the Magi had the support of the Boulder Fortress, which allowed them to avoid the waves of invading energy ripples.
However, a small part of the outermost structure of the Boulder Fortress had collapsed, and they lost many wizard beasts and low-ranked Magi.
This battle lasted for three days and three nights. When both sides were at their wits' end, the two Orc Gods led their troops and retreated resentfully.
There was no helping it. Both sides were almost equal in power, and if one side wanted to completely destroy the other, they would have to pay a high price. It was obvious that both sides had no intention of making such sacrifices, and so they could only accept this' helpless' outcome.
The two Great Magi guarding the fortress originally wanted Grim and the others to stay in the fortress to rest and recover, but they refused. They dragged their injured bodies and used the teleportation formation in the fortress to return to the military headquarters.
Although they did not gain anything from this battle, they had successfully repelled the attack of the two Orc Gods. Thus, they immediately received double the mission reward, and the three of them were given half a year's rest. Only then did they nod goodbye and return to their respective residences.
It had to be said that after this experience of 'going through trials and tribulations together', Grim, Antusa, and Bi Hua's relationship instantly changed from strangers to familiarity. They also exchanged spells and contact methods, becoming true 'companions'.
Since he had become a Grade 5 Great Magus, he could no longer walk alone like he had in the past. He wanted to get to know more Great Magi and build a wider network of connections. This was also a way to increase his personal power and status in a short period of time.
After all, Grim also had enemies outside.
Great Magus Mesa was a Grade 7 Great Magus, and she must have a considerable amount of influence in the Magus Faction. If Grim had no one to rely on and could not even find a helper, it would be easy for him to be alone at crucial times, and he would be easily manipulated by others.
That was why Grim was so enthusiastic about participating in the expansion of the Magus Civilization, using the method of unity to resist the possible plots and schemes. He was also constantly probing and observing the internal division of the Magus Civilization to determine his position in the future.
This was not him cursing the Magus Civilization, but what he had seen and heard with his own eyes. The Magus Civilization had never been a single entity. It had been divided into many Magus Factions with different values and development directions.
For example, he was currently in the Sorcerer Faction, which was led by a Grade 8 Sorceress named Barbara. They were a group that targeted the Orcs. The entire battle was completely dependent on the will of Barbara, and she was the mastermind behind this battle. In this group, Grim was at most a General who had just gotten rid of his status as a small soldier.
Moreover, Grim had specifically investigated and found that Barbara had nothing to do with the Northern Witches. Otherwise, he would not have dared to come here even if he was beaten to death.
According to his investigation, it seemed that the Northern Witches formed their own system and did not like to mix with other Magi. This caused the Northern Witches to be ostracized by other factions, and the relationship between them was not that harmonious.
Now, he could only hope that this Witch Barbara was tough enough to block out the power of the Medusa. Only in this way could he grow steadily and become stronger step by step.
… …
As soon as he left the Duty Hall, Grim unexpectedly ran into a 'acquaintance'.
Sanazar!
She seemed to have been waiting for him here for a long time. After seeing Grim, she looked a little awkward and stopped him.
"Lord Sarubo wants to see you!"
Sarubo …
Grim pondered for a moment and felt that it was not a big problem, so he agreed.
He followed Sanazar, who was hidden in the purple fog, around Giant Rock Castle. They passed through many winding corridors and passageways, and finally stopped at the entrance of a residence on the upper level of the castle.
Here, Sanazar bowed and retreated to the side, not saying anything. It seemed that she had no intention of following Grim in.
As Grim walked past her, he tilted his head and examined her. His gaze caused Sanazar's heart to beat wildly, and she looked embarrassed and angry, but she forced herself to remain silent.
"If you have nothing to do tomorrow, come to my residence. I'll compensate you appropriately …" Saying this, Grim ignored Sanazar's expression and pushed open the door to the residence, walking in.
Inside the residence, a middle-aged Wizard with a vaguely familiar appearance was waiting silently. Seeing Grimm's arrival, the Wizard's gaze fell straight on him.
"Beep. Detected undulations of special laws … After analysis, the target is an amalgamation of high-ranked laws … Within a hundred metres, the target has absolute suppression of laws. Host, please remain vigilant …"
Grim smiled wryly in his heart, but his expression remained the same. He respectfully bowed to the middle-aged Magus.
