* Thump! *
As the new Balrog's Heart completed its first beat in his chest, Grimm felt a scorching hot current surging through his body. The feeling of being filled to the brim made him groan in discomfort.
Although the Balrog's Heart's power had been mostly sealed by the runes, the powerful strength of a Grade 2 Abyssal Demon was still too much for Grimm to bear.
Powerful strength had to be borne by a powerful body!
The Abyssal Balrogs in the Lower Realm were usually more than four meters tall. Their physiques were so tough that they could even stand shoulder to shoulder with Dragons. Although they still had a body of flesh and blood, their blood vessels were filled with scorching hot magma, and their bodies were filled with violent and evil flames.
After suddenly transplanting the magical organ of such a powerful creature into Grimm's body, apart from the unbearable power of flames, he also received the violent and cruel aura of an Abyssal Balrog.
If Grimm's body had not completed its elemental conversion, he would have been burned to ashes after the first beat of the Balrog's Heart.
But now, even though the Balrog's Heart had merged with his body, Grimm still felt uncomfortable all over. It was as if his blood was slowly heating up and burning his body bit by bit.
Fortunately, the sealed Balrog's heart only beat twice per minute, which prevented Grimm from being burned to death by his uncontrollable flames.
This was actually a short-term discomfort caused by the Balrog's Heart not reaching a new balance with his body. As long as he recuperated and adapted for a period of time, a new life cycle would definitely be established. At that time, under the influence of the powerful Balrog's Heart, Grimm's physique might even grow further, gradually approaching the path of a Berserk Wizard.
Grimm endured the pain and slowly sat up, moving his body off the operating table.
He looked down and saw that the terrifying wound on his chest had been sealed by the scorching rays, leaving behind an ugly centipede-like scar. With his physique, it would only take him half a day to completely heal such a huge wound. However, the prerequisite was that he had to eat a lot.
After swaying a few times, Grimm finally managed to stand up on the floor.
His body was clearly surging with overflowing power, but his body could not help but feel weak. These two contradictory feelings constantly clashed and intensified in Grim's mind, torturing him to the point where he could not stop frowning.
Grimm made a grabbing motion in the air and pieces of magic equipment flew out from the darkness, fully equipping him once again. Since the design of the rune equipment had not been completed yet, Grimm was still wearing a light robe commonly seen by elemental wizards.
Some of the more orthodox Wizards liked to wear tall pointy wizard hats, but Grim had no interest in this kind of old-fashioned clothing.
With the emergence of a large number of magic equipment, powerful magic artifacts also emerged one after another. The old-fashioned wizard robes, wizard hats, and flying brooms that were only enchanted with a few spells were rarely used anymore. Only in the more traditional and conservative ancient organizations, there were still a large number of old people who refused to use new things.
But Grim didn't have this problem!
He was a typical pragmatist, only considering the power and effects of any equipment, never considering whether it was new or old.
With a casual wave of his hand, a surging wave of flames gently swept across the entire room, completely erasing all traces of blood and aura. Even some of the broken bones were incinerated into ashes, not leaving any chance for the enemy to peek into his body.
As for the heart that was removed, although Grim wanted to keep it, he still destroyed it for safety's sake.
After cleaning up the place, Grimm removed the defensive spell on the door.
Hence, a group of Quasi Sorcerers and high-level acolytes under his command swarmed in, and very quickly cleared the stone platform and the magical equipment. Grim didn't care about this at all. He asked the tower genie for a lot of magic set meals and started wolfing them down.
Even now, the magic set meals that had greatly benefited him in the past were not very useful to him anymore. However, food that matched his attributes could still bring him great enjoyment.
While he was enjoying the food like a tornado, the tower genie suddenly sent him a message.
An Angus wizard from the Dark Crypt Wizard Tower was trying to contact him from a distance, asking if Grim would accept his request.
Angus? Wasn't this the Magus that had agreed to go to Sky City? Since he could find his way here, it seemed like he already had some information about him.
Grim, who originally wanted to go to Sky City for a tour, immediately nodded his head in agreement.
A black crack slowly appeared in the air, and a strange plant that looked like a sunflower emerged from it. As a large amount of fluorescent light gathered on the surface of the sunflower, the shadow on it swayed and gradually revealed the appearance of a black-robed Magus.
Looking at the face, it was the Magus Angus who had been in contact with Grim for a long time!
"It's nice to meet you again, Magus Grim!" A strange smile appeared on Angus' cold face. When he greeted Grim, he emphasized the word 'Magus'.
After all, when he had signed the contract with him, Grim was just an acolyte that he could do whatever he wanted. It had only been a year, but Grim had already become an official Magus who had the same status as him. Therefore, Angus was no longer confident that Grim would still abide by the contract.
After all, a contract that was used to restrict acolytes was not that effective on an official Magus. As long as Grim was willing to pay the necessary compensation, he could even ignore this contract. On the other hand, Wizard Angus could not risk offending an intermediate wizard family in the central region and force Grim to fulfill the contract.
Therefore, when Wizard Angus saw Grim's imposing figure through the light screen and sensed the violent spiritual force fluctuations, he could not help but reveal a trace of nervousness and unease in his tone.
"Nice to meet you, Wizard Angus!" Grim nodded his head as a polite response.
"I wonder if you are still willing to abide by the contract we signed before?" Angus asked in a probing manner.
"Of course!" Grim smiled, "I still have a lot of expectations for this trip to Sky City!"
After hearing Grim's reply, Wizard Angus let out a sigh of relief.
His original plan was to hire Grim to participate in the acolyte puppeteer tournament and keep his family's share of the profits. Now that Grim had successfully become a wizard, if he won the wizard puppet master competition, his family's income would be more than 10 times what it used to be.
How could he not be nervous!
However, in front of an official Magus who had the same status as him, any lies and deceit would be a despicable behavior. Therefore, Angus immediately expressed that he wanted to sign a new contract with Grim and promised him a huge amount of benefits that could even move Grim's heart.
It could be seen that the benefits that Sky City had brought to the Byron Family had already reached a staggering level. Otherwise, there was no way he would be willing to pay such a huge amount of money!
There were still three months left until the start of the competition. Grim only had two more months to prepare before he would be ready to depart.
Both of them chatted for a while and agreed on a place to meet up. Only then did they cut off the long-distance spell connection.
"Are you going to Sky City?" Alice had been staying beside him, so she had heard the conversation between Wizard Angus and Wizard Angus.
"What? What do you have in mind?" Grim glared at her.
Alice seemed to have figured out his temper. She knew that he was a master who did not care too much about hierarchy, so she even dared to listen in on the conversation between two Wizards.
"Then let's bring Kaby and me!" Alice suddenly became excited.
"Why?"
"Because Sky City is the most prosperous place in the entire Wizard Continent. If your goblin subordinate really wants to realize his dream of becoming the greatest goblin merchant, Sky City is the place he must go! " "There are all kinds of new and interesting magic puppets, all kinds of strange wizard beasts, all kinds of rare monsters and materials, and countless Arcane Wizards … But, none of these can compare to Sky City." Alice explained while waving her hands and feet.
"Sky City is the greatest masterpiece of alchemy in the Wizard World!"
After listening to Alice's aria, Grim couldn't help but yawn and lightly said, "What does that have to do with you?"
Alice's green eyes widened. She bared her canine teeth and said angrily, "How can I not go where Master wants to go? As your most adorable personal maid, how can I not go? Is there any doubt about this? "
Alice's eyes narrowed as she said the last sentence, and she did her best to look cute.
It could be seen that Alice was really interested in this Sky Castle. In order to gain Grimm's approval, the usually arrogant Alice had become a little flattering.
"Alright, let's go together!" Grim thought for a moment, then turned his head and said, "Go tell Kaby about this. Tell him to get ready. If Sky City is really as good as you say, then do your best to make Kaby stay there! "
To establish one's own force, one must have an endless supply of resources and information. Leaving Kaby in Sky City was much better than staying in Fedenan City.
