South Felder City, Wizard Tower.
In a secret magic room shrouded in mist, a small elemental fire pool was bubbling with hot steam.
Grimm was quietly soaking in it, meditating with his eyes closed.
There was no natural volcanic magma pool in the Wizard Tower for him to cultivate in. The pool in front of him, which was 7 meters long, 5 meters wide, and 1 meter deep, gathered a huge amount of fire elements, which were also extracted from the energy room at the bottom.
To maintain the existence of this elemental fire pool for a long time, 17% of the elemental energy that the Wizard Tower could gather every day would be consumed. If the elemental energy had to be purified into pure fire element, then this small pool would take up 31% of the Wizard Tower's daily energy reserves.
If converted into magic crystals, it would be around 120 magic crystals per day.
This was enough to hire a Quasi Wizard to accompany you on a jungle adventure!
But here, it was only to create a more comfortable environment for Grimm to cultivate in.
Grimm gently scooped up the boiling red lava and splashed it onto his chest. He then felt the warmth left behind by the lava as it slowly slid down his chest. The heat from the lava seeped through his skin and pores, entering his body and mind bit by bit, making him feel extremely relaxed and satisfied.
The boiling crimson lava was naturally not real lava, but liquid fire formed when the fire element was concentrated to a certain degree. It was not as thick and sticky as natural lava, but it was pure enough.
His dark red long hair was scattered behind him. Even though one end of it was in the red lava, there were no signs of it being burnt. Instead, wisps of dark red light would be released from the lava, which were slowly absorbed by his hair.
After absorbing enough fire element, Grimm's dark red hair became even more lustrous. As the light flickered, it was filled with a strange and evil aura!
As Grimm meditated, a large amount of fire element rushed into his body, frantically cleansing every meridian, every bone, every tendon, every trace of flesh … The dense fire element energy occupied every inch of space in his body, forcing the evil aura of the Abyss to have nowhere to hide. It could only turn into wisps of black smoke and slowly melt in the air.
As the "Intestine of the World", the Abyss World in the lower world had always been a terrifying place.
There were countless demons there. They were brutal, bloody, twisted, evil, and chaotic … You could add all the negative words to the demons, and they would never be wronged. These huge monsters had terrifying power. They were addicted to killing and were addicted to the pleasure of destruction and destruction.
What was even more terrifying was that the twisted evil minds of the Abyss World made them feel no guilt for killing and destroying.
Other evil races in the multiverse might kill for survival, territory, resources, and dignity, but these demons did it purely for evolution. Most of the time, they even killed for entertainment or simply for killing!
That was why the Heart of the Flame Demon that Grimm had transplanted was inevitably mixed with too much ugly, evil, and chaotic energy of the Abyss. While Grimm was coveting the powerful power and endless flame energy that the Flame Demon's Heart could bring him, the Will of the Abyss also sent a trace of its own aura into Grimm's mind through the Flame Demon's Heart.
To be honest, it was a fair deal!
Grimm got a powerful heart that could support the transformation of the Flame Demon, but he lost the part of his heart that was related to humanity.
However, the process was gradual and slow.
Although the invasion of the Abyss was inevitable, it could still sharpen his will.
As a Wizard with profound knowledge and a wise mind, Grimm preferred to have everything under his control. That was why in the few days after returning to Fedenan City, he almost did not go out and soaked in the elemental fire pool, trying to wash away the influence of the Abyss aura.
Wizards were powerful because of their accumulation of knowledge and intelligence. Once they were infected by the Abyss aura and turned into a madman who only knew how to kill, they would be useless!
As long as Grimm was not stupid, he would not allow himself to fall into the Abyss World.
After completing one round of meditation, Grimm's mental power had just left the meditation space when he sensed a message. He reached out and flicked a red rune into the control hub in the middle of the secret room. The door of the secret room opened.
Even though the door to the secret room was open, a layer of dense red light blocked the heat from leaking out.
It was Amu, a Senior Apprentice.
He was holding a metal tray made entirely of magic iron alloy, which was filled with bottles of different sizes, colors, and shapes.
Amu also had an affinity with the fire element, so he was like a fish in water. Every pore on his body was opened to the maximum, breathing in the dense fire element with all his might. However, in order to protect his clothes from being ignited by the terrifying heat, Amu could only put up a layer of protection to block most of the fire element outside.
Even with Amu's strength as a Senior Apprentice, he did not dare to go any further than ten steps away from the elemental fire pool.
He could see very clearly that a meter in front of him, the terrifyingly high temperature had already caused the air there to become blurred and distorted. Traces of strange red light drifted slowly in the air. It seemed harmless, but the temperature of the core had already reached a frightening 3000 degrees Celsius.
At this temperature, even if one was wearing an enchanted armor, one would be instantly roasted to a crisp.
Amidst the gurgling sound of water, half of Grimm's body was immersed in the red elemental fire pool, and he was constantly stirring the lava on his body. With each of his movements, the temperature of the steam rising became even higher. Even if he did not deliberately use a Flame Barrier, the elemental fire pool had already formed a natural high-temperature barrier.
Amu raised his head and looked enviously at Grimm, who was playing with the 'fire', and swallowed his saliva silently.
Although he also had an affinity with the fire element, if he was thrown into the elemental fire pool, he would instantly be vaporized by the terrifying heat. In fact, only Magi with an elemental body could enjoy the joy of bathing in the elemental fire pool.
But to others, it was no less than murder!
"Master, this is the potion sent by Wizard Felicia."
In order to get rid of the remnants of the abyss aura in his body, Grimm could only ask for help from Felicia, who was a Potion Master. He would have to endure such torturous days for another half a month.
"How's Alice? Who's taking care of her? "Grimm asked.
"It's Lina. According to her, the petrifying energy in Alice's body has been mostly dispersed, and she's now recuperating at Wizard Felicia's place. She should be able to get out of bed and walk in 5 days … "Amu replied respectfully.
Grimm grunted in response, but did not say anything else. In his mind, he received a message from Cogan.
The two conversed through the spiritual channel for a while.
After cutting off the spiritual channel, Grimm rested his arms on the edge of the pool and laid down in it. He could not help but think to himself, 'Counterattack? Distribution of benefits? Looks like Lord Sanazar has given me permission to reap some benefits from this. Anyway, I'll have to form my own faction sooner or later and build my own Magus Tower outside. I'll take this opportunity … '
… …
Fandil City.
This was a bustling city in the Rathea region that belonged to the Seaman Family.
Wilick Castle, three miles west of the city, was the private residence of Magus Sark of the Seaman Family.
Usually, this was the place that all the noble ladies in the small city of Fandil liked to visit the most. Every night, the entire castle would be brightly lit, and luxurious carriages would gather in the square in front of the gate. All the nobles who thought they had some status would take pride in being invited by Magus Sark and spend the night drinking and partying here.
However, with the news of Magus Sark's death, this place suddenly became deserted.
The castle's gates, which were never closed, were now tightly locked. Close to a hundred servants, attendants, butlers, and guards were all hiding in their rooms, waiting anxiously for their fates to come.
In one of the bedrooms of the castle's three storeys, a young man and a young woman were having a nervous conversation.
"Celia, you have to leave now …" The young man was dressed in a noble's attire. His face was filled with anxiety as he paced back and forth in the room, "We can't wait for anyone from the family to come. Grandpa Sark is already dead. As his direct descendants, we will definitely be implicated. "
The young man suddenly stopped in front of the girl and grabbed her shoulders, gently shaking her, "Wake up! I heard that the family no longer plans to help Grandpa Sark get revenge. Instead, they want to hand us over to settle this matter. If you don't want to become a slave, you have to leave this place quickly … "
"It can't be … It can't be …" The one who spoke was a delicate and pretty girl. At this moment, her eyebrows were deeply furrowed, and her face was filled with panic and confusion.
On both sides of her face, there were some faint grey spots near her parotid glands.
If a Magus from the Seaman family was here, they would definitely be able to tell that this girl had awakened the giant serpent bloodline. As her body grew, when the density of her bloodline reached a point where it could support the awakening of her innate talent, her head would gradually evolve into the eye-catching head of a Giant Serpent Magus.
However, the girl was already 15 or 16 years old, and she was only showing signs of awakening her bloodline now. In the Seaman family, she was already considered to be one of those with low potential in terms of bloodline talent. Even so, the awakening of her bloodline still gave her strength no weaker than that of a high-ranking acolyte.
However, compared to those high-ranking acolytes who had been honed for a long time, she obviously could not control the power in her body well!
