Grimm shook his head as he looked at the Winsol Knight shrouded in dazzling energy. He then left with a Flame Leap.
A hundred meters away, in a sparse forest, more than a hundred demon hunters under the leadership of two Magic-breaking Knights were killing a pack of wolf-shaped wizard beasts.
The sudden explosion of a flame ring was right in the middle of them.
Red light burst out, and the scene blurred and shook. Grimm had appeared in the field.
When his vision stabilized, Grimm stood up straight and looked at the demon hunters riding on their magic colts. His face made of flames finally revealed a sinister smile.
A faint red flame barrier shot out and quickly enveloped the surrounding area of 30 meters. All the trees, shrubs, vines, and other plants in the area began to wither and burn. Even the ground was scorched black.
Thump thump thump …
The sound of the rune bow's bowstring could be heard. Rune arrows condensed with frost energy froze the lava shield into a blue ice shield. Occasionally, three or four rune arrows would penetrate through the gaps and hit Grimm's flaming body, leaving a flash of blue light in the midst of the crimson flames.
Grimm roared and waved the Flame Scepter in his hand. First, he summoned a terrifying ten-meter-tall Giant Fire Spirit. Then, he lightly tapped the tip of the scepter and bombarded the area around him with violent lava fireballs.
The valiant demon hunters weaved in and out of Grimm's surroundings. Every time they brushed past him, they would use their Frost Swords to leave eye-catching sword marks on Grimm's body or shield. However, they were met with violent and ferocious lava fireballs or chain fireballs.
Grimm had also discovered that in the chaotic battlefield, there was no time or space for those so-called powerful spells to be used.
When you found and locked on to an enemy with a high value for money, you would start to cast a powerful spell such as Core Explosion. But by the time you were ready, you would awkwardly find that the enemy had already disappeared without a trace, or that the enemy in front of you had already been covered by another wave of enemies.
Therefore, the only choice you had was to waste your powerful spells on some low-value "trash". For Magi who had to control every strand of their spiritual force consumption, this was intolerable!
Although ordinary elemental fireballs were quick and could be cast with a thought, their damage was only 30 points. They could not effectively penetrate the Armor of Faith and Knight's Armor to deal enough damage to the enemy.
Thus, after much selection, the swift and powerful Lava Fireball became Grimm's best choice for killing on the battlefield!
The lava fireball itself had 45 points of fire elemental damage, and it also had 15 points of lava explosion damage. It also came with the bonus of sputtering lava in a ten-meter radius. Coupled with the 30% fire damage bonus that Grimm had gained after choosing Specialization in Fire, a simple and crude fire spell was turned into a powerful area-of-effect spell.
If a Demon Hunter was directly hit by a lava fireball, the death rate would be 100%, and those who were caught within 10 meters of it had a 34% chance of dying. As for the Magic-breaker Knights, although they were much stronger than the demon hunters, none of them dared to stand in the sea of fire and fight Grimm head-on.
Grimm's Balrog Transformation and Fire Barrier were too overbearing. The demon hunters did not dare to enter the area shrouded by the red halo. They could only fight back with their rune bows.
Of the hundreds of knights, only two Magic-breaker Knights led four to five fearless Demon Hunters to Grimm's side and fought him with all their might.
The lava shield around his body could not withstand the attacks of the two magic-breaking knights, and finally exploded into pieces of lava that filled the sky. Grimm's body was also slashed by the demon hunters, leaving dozens of crisscrossing cracks on his body.
Scorching flames and terrifying magma gushed out from the crevice, igniting a Demon Hunter Knight who was standing beside Grimm. He cradled his scorched face, which was covered in blisters, and crawled on his demon colt. He screamed shrilly as he escaped from the battlefield.
Grimm was groaning in pain.
After all, after transforming into a Balrog, the lava and flames were like his flesh and blood. Even with his strong physique, he would not be able to withstand the continuous attacks.
Grimm ordered the Fiery Djinn to self-destruct. Taking advantage of the fact that the enemies around him were stunned by the shockwave of the flames, Grimm quickly chanted a spell and killed a Magic-breaker Knight with a powerful Molten Core Explosion. Only then did he move to another location amidst the flames.
This time, Grimm did not choose to rush into the crowd of demon hunters. Instead, he appeared in the forest beside a group of three hundred demon hunters.
The sudden explosion of the Flame Halo was so dazzling that it allowed Grimm to instantly receive a rain of Frost Arrows and four to five Energy Blades that were as dense as a swarm of locusts.
The Lava Shield that Grimm had just formed was on the verge of collapsing.
Grimm gritted his teeth and endured the attack. He waved his hand and summoned a new Fiery Djinn. He then raised his right hand and summoned a lava fireball the size of a washbasin and threw it at the group of demon hunters.
Clearly, this group of knights was already prepared. A series of Frost Arrows and Energy Blades instantly smashed the Fire Djinn into pieces of flame. Even the Lava Fireball exploded in mid-air, exploding into a sea of fire that filled the sky.
Grimm grunted. The Voodoo Scroll in his left hand flipped quickly and stopped at a page that contained the Meteor Shower spell. Grimm hesitated for a while, but he still could not bear to waste such a powerful spell on a group of demon hunters. He could only wait for the cooldown of the Fiery Leap spell and move to another location.
In this chaotic battlefield, there were more than one or two Wizards wandering around like Grimm, hunting for their prey. Every sorcerer who dared to roam the battlefield alone had a completely different fighting style and killing method.
Among them, the ones that caught Grimm's attention were the demonic worms, puppets, and a few others.
After not seeing him for a few days, the demonic worm Entik's abilities had improved significantly.
Apart from the common scorpions and flying insects that surrounded him, there was also a group of strange beetles that were half the height of a human with black shells and green wings. The black shells of these beetles were unusually tough. Even the glowing runic swords of the demon hunters could not damage them at all. All they could do was leave some shallow or deep marks on their shells.
Only by continuously slashing at the same spot could the demon hunters penetrate their shells and cause them serious damage. On the other hand, these strange beetles only needed two or three companions to surround them, and they could easily kill and tear apart a Demon-Hunter Knight.
Even the Armor of Faith around his body could not stop the Beetle's sharp limbs from piercing him.
Grim saw with his own eyes a black beetle that was struck by the Flame Blade of the Magic-breaker Knight. The beetle flipped a few times in the air before regaining its balance. Its carapace was not damaged at all. This meant that the black beetles' shells were more resistant to elemental or energy damage than physical damage.
Carrion Beetles!
Who would have thought that Entik had nurtured them?
Grimm frowned deeply as he looked at the thirty or so carrion beetles surrounding Entik. He began to think about how he could win if he were to encounter Entik.
On the other side of the battlefield three miles away, the sorcerer codenamed puppet had also caught Grimm's attention.
Although puppet's movements were slow and rigid, he still maintained great mobility as he shuttled through the ancient trees.
His battle style was not as wild and unrestrained as Grimm's. Instead, it was filled with an indescribable evil and viciousness.
He would always hide in the trees and wait for a small number of Demon Hunter Knights to pass by him. He would then use his evil puppet threads to control them. Not long after, he was surrounded by a team of twenty to thirty Demon Hunter Knights.
Then, he would order these puppet knights to attack the other demon hunters. What followed was a civil war between the knights!
In the face of a familiar comrade and a struggling comrade, if the demon hunters showed the slightest bit of mercy, they would fall under the cruel blade of their "comrade".
However, it was clear that the success rate of Marionette's puppets controlling the Magic-breaking Knights was not high, and the number of puppets he could control was limited. Therefore, he did not attract as much attention as Grimm's Balrog transformation.
The other person who caught Grimm's attention was the powerful Hyde.
He was like a robot with metal tentacles all over his body. His body was covered in sharp, metallic tentacles that flickered with a metallic luster. Every demon hunter who stepped within twenty meters of him would be pierced by the needle-like spikes.
These spikes that were enchanted with piercing spells were not something that ordinary armor could defend against.
They danced in the air and were as nimble as giant metal snakes. They could launch terrifying piercing attacks from any angle around you. On the other hand, the Demon Hunter's runic longsword that was imbued with energy and aura slashed at the tentacle. Sparks flew everywhere, but it did not even scratch the tentacle.
Whenever there were enough enemies around him, countless spinning blades would fly out of Hyde's body and form a terrifying blade barrier around him. The only thing that Hyde needed to do was to quickly move through the group of knights with this blade barrier.
With a single charge, he could pierce through the entire team of knights, leaving behind a trail of flesh and blood filled with broken limbs.
