Compared to the excitement on the way here, the return journey was rather dull.
They were still in the same regions, but when the floating warship flew over, the number of monsters that dared to chase it had decreased significantly.
At first, Grimm had some doubts, but after communicating with the Magi on the ship, he found out that the Harpy Kingdom had forcibly abducted a few Magi. This had undoubtedly enraged the higher-ups of the Silver Alliance who were in charge of the safety of the sea route.
Thus, while Grimm was in Sky City, the Silver Alliance had organized a group of Grade 3 Magi to forcefully break into the Harpy Kingdom, slaughtering almost a thousand enemies in one go, including a few Bird Shamans.
As for the Magi who had been abducted, unfortunately, they only managed to save two. The rest of them hadn't survived the 'brutal' mating process and had been drained of their essence blood.
As for the two that survived, they were both Physique Refinement Magi with physiques similar to magical beasts.
Unfortunately, by the time they were rescued, they had already been sucked dry. It seemed that without a year or two of meticulous care, they would not be able to return to normal!
It was precisely because of the Silver Alliance's actions that the monsters on this sea route had temporarily calmed down.
Thus, two and a half months later, Grimm brought Alice and Kabi back to the central continent.
Their first stop was, of course, Guat Port, a public city in the westernmost part of the scattered Tallinn region.
After staying here for two days, Grimm and his party waited for an airship to leave for the central continent. Thus, after five days, they successfully returned to Mota City.
Not daring to stay in Mota City for too long, Grimm and the other two secretly bought a small carriage and left the city.
… …
In the pitch-black forest, a temporary bonfire crackled as it burned.
The Goblin Kabi was busy preparing dinner.
He set up a metal tripod on top of the fire, placed a pot of soup, and began to wash the ingredients …
Alice, on the other hand, rested her chin on her hands and sat by the bonfire in a daze.
Ever since Grimm had 'taught' her a lesson, she had been like this a lot.
Grimm and Kabi greeted each other, then stood up and walked into the dark forest. He wanted to see what the wilderness of another world looked like before dinner.
The trees of the Sorcerer Continent had always grown tall and straight. Coupled with the dense foliage, the forest was dark and silent. Only a few moonlight grasses and fluorescent mushrooms faintly emitted a cold light.
There were no bushes, no knee-high grass, just dewy brown earth, covered with a thick layer of yellow leaves, and then patches of green grass.
There are very few small animals here.
After all, it was close to a public road, so it was impossible for there to be any large magical beasts. The rest of the wild beasts in the forest had mostly become practice targets for the sorcerer-apprentices. Therefore, Grim didn't see any herbivores or carnivores even after walking for half a mile in the dark.
Just as Grim was about to turn back in disappointment, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Grimm turned his head to look at the flank and suddenly became more vigilant.
There, a tall humanoid figure was walking over with heavy footsteps.
The rotten branches were crushed one by one under his feet, making crackling sounds. In the quiet and dark forest, the sound traveled very far.
Grimm licked his lips and narrowed his eyes. A faint blue light flickered in his eyes.
He was fully prepared to fight.
Secretly, he sent a warning to Alice and Kaby through the telepathic bond.
Under the powerful scanning of Elemental Vision, the approaching humanoid figure was overflowing with intense red light. It was a sign of extreme danger and hostility. Moreover, Grimm could sense a powerful yet reserved and terrifying aura from the other party.
In Grimm's retina, the energy in the figure's body was extremely strong. Most of the energy nodes were distributed in the limbs, some important joints, and some internal organs. This allowed Grim to determine that the visitor was a Physique Refinement Magus!
In the dead of the night, and in a secluded and uninhabited forest, the other party's intentions were clear without question. Grimm was just curious. He had been very low-key when he returned, so how did the Unlucky Hand Association find his traces?
"You're Fire Devil Grimm?" The tall figure spoke and stopped 30 meters away.
The voice was deep and rich. It was a man's voice.
At this moment, the tall figure took another step forward. A ray of silver moonlight shone on him through the treetops, illuminating his appearance and figure.
It was a powerful Anatomy Refinery Wizard wearing blood-red metal armor. His body was surrounded by blood-red ripples, and he carried a huge two-handed sword on his back. Under the moonlight, his face was twisted and hideous, and the ugly scars on his face wriggled like centipedes.
He also wore blood-red metal gloves on his hands. When he clenched his fists, the edges of his knuckles were as sharp as knives. It was a chilling sight.
"Bloody Butcher?" Grim asked in a probing tone.
The figure's appearance was quite unique, so Grimm quickly thought of some legendary figures.
"It's useless even if you know my name. You will die here today! "The Bloody Butcher grinned and showed a hideous" smile ".
In the next second, before the powerful voice faded away, a red shadow had already approached Grimm's side. A violent and ferocious iron fist with a whistling wind and a pungent smell of blood was aimed at his heart.
A black and red Lava Shield appeared between the two of them.
Before the high-temperature flames on the shield could burn the shield, the iron fist of the blood shadow landed right in the middle of the shield.
With a loud bang, the lava shield shattered.
The first time, before Grimm's Lava Shield could fully materialize, it had already been smashed into smithereens and lava fragments by the enemy's heavy blows.
Whoosh! The iron fist that was wrapped in flames penetrated the dense protective barrier and hit Grimm's abdomen. Although the lava shield had dissipated almost half of the iron fist's power, the remaining power was not weaker than an elemental attack of 60 degrees.
Moreover, most elemental attacks were scattered. The power of the attack was scattered but not concentrated. However, the iron fist of the opponent was completely restrained, only concentrating the power of the attack into an area the size of a fist. Therefore, elemental attacks could not be compared to elemental attacks.
Grimm was startled. He suddenly patted his chest, and a "Resistance Ring of Fire" suddenly bloomed.
The Resistance Ring of Fire was a powerful shockwave of flames, but it spread in a ring shape. All individuals within the range of the flames would not only suffer from the damage of the flames, but also a certain degree of physical impact.
Therefore, the Resistance Ring of Fire was usually used by Fire Wizards to repel their enemies!
However, it was too difficult to repel an Anatomy Wizard with a hastily released ring of fire. As a result, Grim staggered backwards, his chest was struck by the wind from the punch, and his entire body was sent flying.
While he was still in the air, the sound of bones cracking came from Grimm's chest, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood.
Blood Shadow roared, and the bloody aura around his body exploded in front of him. With a single step, he chased after Grimm's falling body. Two iron fists attacked consecutively, and the surging blood shadow smashed towards Grimm like raindrops.
There was a loud explosion.
Flames burst out in the dark forest.
Grimm's tall body instantly disappeared in the pillar of fire that shot up into the sky.
At the same time, a hundred meters away from where the two were fighting, flames surged, and Grimm staggered backwards.
The bloody figure roared again. Twisting his body in mid-air, he once again shot towards Grim like an arrow.
"Die!" Grimm shouted in a low voice, and with a raise of his hand, three explosive fireballs flew towards his opponent in a triangular formation. As soon as the explosive fireballs left his hand, Grimm raised his right palm into the air, and a lava fireball the size of a washbasin quickly formed.
Blood Shadow did not choose to dodge the three exploding fireballs that were flying at him.
As an experienced Anatomy Refinery Sorcerer, he knew this very well. Once he chose to dodge, then the opponent would continuously throw elemental spells at him. If he allowed the opponent to increase the distance between them, then the terrifying power of a Fire Wizard would be fully displayed.
Therefore, without hesitation, the Bloody Butcher raised both of his arms to cover his face, and a powerful bloody aura surged around his body. He actually chose to take the explosive fireballs head-on.
Bang bang bang …
After three consecutive explosions, the dark forest was dyed red.
The violent elemental flames engulfed everything within a 20-meter radius into a sea of fire.
Tall trees that could be hugged by a person were instantly set ablaze, and wood shavings and debris were ignited by the sea of fire. The intense flames were blinding.
The valiant Blood Shadow rushed through the center of the explosion, and as soon as he reached the edge of the sea of fire, he saw a rapidly flying lava fireball and a figure not far away.
Damn it, this Fire Demon's casting speed is really scary!
While cursing in his heart, the Bloody Butcher pulled out his sword and rushed forward. The sword in his hand shone with a cold bloody light as it directly cut through the lava fireball.
When he tried to follow suit and rush through the lava fireball again, a huge flaming fist opened up in front of him, and forcefully pushed him back into the sea of fire.
Within the shattered lava fireball, scarlet lava scattered on the green grass, and in an instant, the ground was scorched. A tall humanoid figure surrounded by fierce flames stood there silently, blocking the Bloody Butcher's path of attack.
Under the cover of the Inferno Tyrant, Grimm finally found an opportunity. He took out two or three bottles of potions of different colors from his waist pouch, and drank them all in one go.
After dealing with the injuries on his body, Grimm raised his head, and two clusters of bright flames quickly burned in his black eyes.
