Void Stone!
When the grey stone did not show any abnormalities, it looked like an ordinary pebble picked up from the side of the road. However, when it showed signs of abnormalities, it was like a beautiful woman who had just caught a glimpse of it, about to disappear in front of the two.
Alice let out an ear-piercing shriek, but her hands weren't idle either. She stretched out her little hand and reached into the void, forcibly grabbing that piece of Void Stone again.
Grimm was speechless as he watched this scene, the corners of his mouth twitching uncontrollably.
A strange Void Stone!
However, what was even more bizarre was Alice's innate spatial talent!
Grimm had seen very clearly that Alice had reached into the spatial crack with her bare hands, yet she did not seem to be afraid of being cut by the spatial fragments. Of course, the A.I. Chip's high-speed motion capture had also discovered a thin layer of spatial membrane on Alice's delicate white watch.
The spatial membrane formed by this innate talent was probably the main reason why she could touch the spatial fragments without getting hurt!
Alice grabbed the Void Stone tightly and placed it on her forehead, carefully feeling the obscure spatial undulations within it. The smile on her face grew wider.
Suddenly, Alice leaned forward and kissed Grimm on the cheek. She then took a step back and lightly adjusted the hem of her skirt to perform a standard maid's curtsy.
"Thank you, Master! I like this gift a lot. "
She then ran out like a gust of wind.
From the looks of it, she could not wait to use the Void Stone for some special experiment.
Grimm could understand Alice's excitement.
She was currently stuck at the level of a Quasi-Magus. If she wanted to successfully advance to become a Magus, the only thing she needed to do was to grasp a trace of the laws of the plane related to her innate talent in space. Then, with this trace of laws as the centre, she could condense a core of her own consciousness in her space of consciousness.
The Void Stone was undoubtedly a physical manifestation of the laws of space in the multiverse. It definitely contained an extremely special power of the laws of space. This was a perfect match for Alice's innate talent! As long as she could draw the power of the laws of space into her space of consciousness, the core of her consciousness, which was the key to advancing to become a Magus, would be a success.
Once Alice advanced to become an official Magus, with her special innate talent in space, she could become a powerful Magus in a matter of minutes.
Grimm felt his legs cramping at the thought of her enhanced Spatial Slash, Spatial Travel, and Spatial Shattering. Without the support of the demonic puppets and the buff from the Balrog's transformation, even Grimm would be crushed by Alice in a one-on-one duel.
Therefore, in order to maintain the dominance of his identity as the master, he had to quickly increase his own strength!
After sealing the door, Grimm got up and went to a secret room.
This was where all the spoils of war he had obtained from the Knight's Plane were stored. It was also the stepping stone for him to become stronger in the future.
He walked to the side of the wooden table and lifted a piece of black cloth. A disgusting aura of depravity assaulted his senses.
This was a Flame Demon's Heart the size of a head. Its dark red flesh, thick tendons, and surging life energy mixed with the chaotic aura unique to the lower layer, forming the unique and strange bloody and murderous aura of abyssal creatures.
This Fire Demon's Heart had been separated from the main body for a long time, but under the stimulation of witchcraft power, it still possessed a strong vitality. As the giant peach-like heart trembled slightly, a dark red energy lingered around it, making one feel nauseous.
Grimm stretched out a finger, condensing a trace of witchcraft power at his fingertip, and lightly touched the Flame Demon's Heart. Immediately, the area where Grimm's finger touched the Flame Demon's Heart ignited with a dark green Abyssal Flame.
This flame obviously had the sinister, corrosive, and devouring characteristics unique to the abyssal world. It quickly spread from the Flame Demon's Heart to Grimm's finger.
Even with Grimm's flaming body, he could feel a slight pain from his fingertip. It was as if this Abyssal Flame could burn through his flaming body and directly harm his spiritual world.
Grimm frowned slightly, and violent elemental flames gathered at his fingertip. Finally, he extinguished the Abyssal Flame with absolute numbers.
As expected, it was a powerful force!
Grimm crouched down and held his breath, blue light flickering in the depths of his black pupils.
"Beep. Detected a special bioactive specimen. Basic data has been recorded in the database. Requesting host to name it …"
"Flame Demon's Heart."
"Beep. Bioactive specimen Flame Demon's Heart has been recorded."
"Show me the sample data of the Flame Demon's Heart!"
Following Grimm's order, a 3D hologram of the Flame Demon's Heart suddenly appeared in his mind, spinning gently. Beside the hologram, data poured down like a waterfall, filling up the space in Grimm's mind.
Grim closed his eyes in concentration, filtering out most of the trivial data, leaving only some basic biological data that was easy for him to understand.
…
Bioactive specimen, 46%, can be strengthened …
Bioactive specimen, 1155 degrees of energy, can be strengthened …
Bioactive specimen, 135 degrees of energy output, can be strengthened …
Life energy conversion rate, 41%, can be strengthened …
Abyssal aura retention rate, 18%, can be reduced …
…
Grimm opened his eyes and straightened his body, looking down at the Flame Demon's Heart. His heart was filled with intense desire and uncontrollable passion.
With the slow growth of his spiritual force, this Flame Demon's Heart might be the only hope for him to maintain his powerful strength!
Ever since the first day he obtained the Flame Demon's Heart, Grimm had been thinking about how to use its immense power. With the A.I. Chip doing a lot of searching and filtering in its database, the only way Grimm could use the Flame Demon's Heart was when he transformed into a Flame Demon.
Only after transforming into a Flame Demon, with his vitality and spiritual force doubled, would Grimm be able to control and use the Flame Demon's Heart. Otherwise, the energy harvested from a rank 2 Abyss Flame Demon's heart would turn into a furnace that would go out of control and burn Grimm to death in his human form.
After combining hundreds and thousands of ways to use the heart, the A.I. Chip provided Grimm with a feasible plan.
Normally, he would seal the Flame Demon's Heart in his body and use his own aura to slowly transform it. When the time came for battle and he transformed into a Flame Demon, he would unseal the Flame Demon's Heart and use it to supply energy to the Flame Demon's body.
This way, he would be able to increase his battle strength!
However, in order to do this, there were a few problems that had to be solved.
First, Grimm had to get rid of the dense abyssal aura in the Flame Demon's Heart. At the very least, he had to suppress it to an acceptable level. Otherwise, the longer he used it, the more closely he would fuse with the Flame Demon's Heart, and the higher the chances of him becoming an abyssal creature.
Although the strength of abyssal creatures was well known, and Grimm did not reject the power he possessed, the chaos and tyranny in their nature was intolerable. According to Grimm's knowledge, the template of an abyssal creature was basically a brainless monster with + 10 in vitality, strength, and spiritual force, but -100 in intelligence.
Could uncontrollable power still be called power?
Hence, before he could get rid of the Flame Demon's Heart, Grimm could only use it carefully and not rely on it too much.
Secondly, according to the A.I. Chip's scans, there were many areas where the Flame Demon's Heart could be strengthened. In order to maximise its power, Grimm would need a large amount of resources to feed it.
The A.I. Chip provided a dense amount of data, but the ones that could truly be of use were the ones that he had filtered out.
The activity of the muscles determined the efficiency of the Flame Demon's Heart. 46% meant that it only had half of its peak strength.
The upper limit of the energy storage and the threshold of the energy output determined the current strength of the Flame Demon's Heart. The energy heart was the magic organ of an Abyssal Flame Demon, so it could naturally store a certain amount of fire elemental energy. 1155 degrees meant that it could store 1155 degrees of fire elemental energy when it was not in combat.
This was something that Grimm could use at will during combat!
However, no matter how much energy it stored, the threshold of the output still limited the strength of the fire elemental energy that Grimm could use.
135 degrees meant that each of Grimm's fire elemental energy attacks could reach a maximum of 135 degrees.
This strength far exceeded Grimm's current strength.
It had to be known that most spells cast by a rank 1 Magus had energy levels between 60 and 80 degrees. Grimm had chosen to specialise in fire, and had given up on other elemental spells to increase the power of his fire elemental spells to 115 degrees.
And this level of energy was the limit of Grimm's current strength.
However, this Flame Demon's Heart could reach a threshold of 135 degrees even though it was only half-effective. As the energy heart of a rank 2 Abyssal Flame Demon, its strength was evident!
With 1155 degrees of energy stored, based on the attack power of a single spell of 135 degrees, it was enough for Grimm to unleash his strongest attack eight times with some left over. This … This would be of great help to him in increasing his strength!
His life force conversion rate of 41% meant that even in combat, Grimm had the ability to convert his life force into fire elemental energy. This endless replenishment would allow Grimm to become a terrifying war machine.
As long as he was alive, he would never run out of energy!
It was a pity that there was still a lot of work to be done to make use of such a powerful Flame Demon's Heart. He could only slowly deal with it in the future.
Grimm nodded in satisfaction and covered the Flame Demon's Heart with the black cloth again.
The strange thing was that although this black cloth looked ordinary, the moment it was covered, the abyssal aura that had filled the secret room disappeared in an instant.
This proved that this ordinary-looking piece of black cloth was actually a Magic Tool! A magic tool that specialized in concealing the aura of different types of energy!
In the secret room, apart from the Flame Demon's Heart, there were also 2 Void Stones, 4 Magus grade elemental crystal cores, the mysterious Golden Apple, the Deception Orb, the Heqila Resonance Crystal, the Flame Emblem, and the Zandra Sheep Transformation Rod.
