It was unexpected, but it made sense!
Seeing the old witch with a hunched back, old face, and turbid eyes, Grim almost mistook her for Leona from Sky City.
After all, almost all old witches looked the same!
She was so ugly that he could not look at her directly.
It seemed that the beautiful Illusionist from before was also an old witch in disguise.
Grim could not help but feel disgusted at the thought of the ugly and evil old witch hiding under her beautiful appearance.
Now that he had caught the culprit, he had to deal with Alice next.
It was obvious that the strong stimulation of danger had caused her to go berserk.
Her eyes turned white, and she roared in the air, as if her mind was in an extremely chaotic state.
The spatial energy within the Void Stone was continuously spreading out with her as a medium. If he were to forcefully interrupt it, Alice would probably suffer a powerful backlash from the Void Stone. With her strength, it was impossible for her to survive such a degree of backlash.
The powerful spatial ripples outside her body also gave Grim a headache. He could not get close to her at all!
Hence, the only thing Grim could do was to close his eyes and focus, calling out to Alice through the soul contract. The other party seemed to have lost consciousness for a long time, and her response was abnormally slow and intermittent. It seemed that the spatial ripples were a huge interference to their mental communication.
"… Master … I … feel … terrible …"
"Alice, you're safe now. Don't use the power within the Void Stone anymore!"
"… Master … I … really … wish … I … could … have … this … kind … of … power …"
"You have to gain power step by step. Only the power that you can control is true power! If you try to reach the heavens in a single step, you will only end up suffering from the backlash! "
"I … understand …"
Soundlessly, the spatial ripples in the air began to weaken, and gradually disappeared.
The moment the spatial ripples completely disappeared, Alice, who was floating in the air, suddenly trembled, and her slim figure floated down like a yellow leaf.
Until she was caught by a large, warm hand.
"Let's go, let's go back!"
Following which, a dense spell formation appeared in the air, and countless dazzling runes formed a halo that hovered around the few of them. The white light grew brighter and brighter, and gradually became too bright to look at. Finally, after a sharp explosion, they disappeared into the castle ruins.
… …
South Felder City, Magus Tower.
In a secret room on the tenth floor.
With a bang, white light flashed, and Sanazar, Grim, and Alice appeared in the middle of the secret room.
The dazzling light slowly faded from the spell formation under their feet. The dissipating spatial energy collided against the stone walls of the secret room, but it was absorbed by the defensive spell formation that suddenly appeared.
With the Magus World's knowledge of runes and the power of the rune system, the teleportation spell formation was an essential and important facility in almost every Magus Tower. However, every time it was used, the basic mana crystal consumption was more than 1,000. Moreover, as the distance of teleportation increased, the consumption of magic crystals would also increase exponentially. Therefore, very few wizards were willing to use it as a means of transportation.
Moreover, in a Magus Tower, the authority to control the teleportation spell formation was of utmost importance. A Tier 1 Magus like Grimm had no access to it. If Magus didn ', I, Alice, Magus. if for her, that, she, Magus, Magus, and., that, that,.,., that was, Maged.
"Take her to recuperate. I'll arrange the advancement ceremony as soon as possible." Sanazar lifted a golden birdcage in front of her and smiled sinisterly, "Leave these two to me! I'll get something from their brains … "
In the golden birdcage, the Bat Dragon, whose body had shrunk a few dozen times, and the old witch were lying unconscious inside, their bodies surrounded by strange and mysterious runes.
Grimm's Flame Projection bowed to Sana before leaving with Alice in his arms.
In the residence on the seventh floor.
The Flame Image carefully placed Alice on the bed, then returned the magic core to Grim. Only then did it fuse with him.
This Flame Image was something that Grimm had recently digested and absorbed a large amount of knowledge regarding the Silver Alliance's puppet creation. He had created a new way of using fire elemental magic.
It was a pity that this Flame Image could only contain a limited amount of power. It did not possess the battle prowess of a magic puppet, and could only be used as one of Grim's fire clones. But even so, it displayed some characteristics that were superior to magic puppets in some aspects.
Magic puppets were elemental creatures that had fused with the characteristics of puppets. Though they had a certain level of instincts, they did not possess complete intelligence. Hence, they could only listen to the commands of the summoner, and could not act independently.
This Flame Image was more like a fire elemental that Grim had summoned, and then projected a portion of his soul into it. Using this method of controlling the puppet, he made it move according to his will.
However, it was a pity that once the initial Flame Image was formed, it would form a complete self-sustaining system and would no longer be able to absorb energy from the outside world. Hence, the amount of fire energy used to summon the Flame Image for the first time would determine how long it could exist.
According to the A.I. Chip's statistics, 1 point of spiritual force was enough to maintain the Flame Image for 10 hours, and the energy used in battle was not counted. Grim's current spiritual force was less than 7 points. If he used all his strength, he would be able to create a clone that could move freely for three days.
Grim believed that as the Flame Image Spell continued to improve, he would be able to create a clone that was as strong as his main body in the future. At that time, it would be two against one, and his advantage in battle would be even more obvious!
After withdrawing the Flame Image Spell, Grim immediately began to examine Alice's body, and the conclusion he obtained shocked him greatly.
Alice's current state was extremely strange, as if she was fusing with the void stone sealed in her body.
However, due to the difference in strength between the two, the current situation did not seem to be Alice taking the initiative to fuse with the void stone. Instead … it was the void stone that was taking the initiative to fuse with Alice.
This was not a good thing!
If Alice's spiritual force was strong enough to control the void stone, she would naturally be able to easily control the fusion process and use the mysterious spatial energy within the void stone for her own use. However, Alice was currently at a disadvantage in the fusion process, and was the target of the void stone's fusion.
If this situation was allowed to continue, the fused Alice would probably lose her independent consciousness, and become a strange void creature.
"A.I. Chip, show me the results of Alice's examination!" Grim ordered with furrowed brows.
[Beep, received command.]
With a soft beep, a 3D scan of Alice appeared in Grim's mind. At her lower abdomen, where the void stone was sealed, strands of silver energy seeped out and slowly fused with her body and blood.
"A.I. Chip, can you analyse the composition and effects of this energy?"
[Beep. Composition of the energy: Spatial Active Substance …]
Energy effects analysis:
217 (Analogous substance: Subterranean Adamantine 163)
98 (Analogous substance: Magic Mithril 139)
Conductivity: Magic Magic Ratio
82% (Analogous substance: Magic Mithril
91%)
Space (No Analogous substance)]
Grim silently appraised the results of the A.I. Chip's analysis, and could not help but be shocked at the power of the void stone. It was no wonder that a special item like the void stone was so difficult to find in a plane, and could only be found in the boundless depths of the sea of stars.
Not to mention anything else, just the spatial energy it absorbed and controlled was extraordinary, even a little unimaginable.
What kind of power was spatial energy?
Most Magi were clueless about this. They only knew how to use it, but it was difficult for them to summarize the system of knowledge behind it. Otherwise, there would not be so few spatial Magi in the Magus World, and they could only rely on their innate abilities to use it passively.
If this void stone was in Grim's hands, other than being able to record a bunch of boring data of unknown significance, it would be difficult for him to research anything else. Only someone like Alice, who was born with an innate spatial ability, could cause such a miraculous change in the void stone.
However, with Grim's current knowledge, it was difficult for him to judge whether this change was good or bad. Hence, after much consideration, Grim decided to wake Alice up first.
He waved his hand in the air, and a glowing red rune appeared in the air, slowly entering Alice's head.
A moment later, Alice's body squirmed, and she slowly opened her eyes.
"What's wrong with me?" Alice rolled out of bed and looked around suspiciously.
"You accidentally absorbed the energy from the void stone in Wilick Castle, and now …" Grim rubbed his chin, not knowing how to describe it.
"Now what? Is there a problem? " Alice closed her eyes and sensed for a moment. She could only feel that her body was filled with an indescribable power, and even her strength was rapidly increasing, "But I feel like I'm in a good condition!"
Grim shook his head and said helplessly, "Don't be too happy yet. You should take a look at your stomach first!"
Alice raised her head suspiciously, examining Grim's expression. Seeing that he did not seem to be faking it, an ominous premonition arose in her heart.
* Rip … *
As her robes were torn apart, Alice looked down and suddenly cried out.
