Grimm almost couldn't recognize Mary the first time he saw her.
Ten years of expeditions in foreign planes had caused Mary's appearance and temperament to change drastically.
Her skin was still so fair, her face was still so exquisite, and her blood-red eyes were still so bloody red … However, this beautiful girl who was once incomparably beautiful had now become a cold-blooded and decisive leader. Every move she made carried a trace of a domineering aura that allowed no one to question it.
The whole wizard hall was filled with apprentices who had rushed over after hearing the news.
Although they knew that the intruder was a terrifying wizard, they were still fearless. They held magic wands in their hands, scrolls on their waists, and bottles of resistance potion down their throats. They cooperated with each other and occupied all the advantageous positions in the room. They stared fiercely at the "beautiful" intruder like wolves.
The fact that Lord Fire Demon was presiding over the pagoda undoubtedly gave them boundless courage to fight. If Sabrina hadn't stopped them, some of the apprentices might have been unable to hold back their desire for fresh blood and started to attack.
"May I know where you're from? Why did you break into the Sarubo Family's property? " Although she was a little scared, Sabrina still put on the posture of a deacon apprentice and stopped this mysterious female wizard.
Who knew that before the intruder could speak, Grimm's voice was already heard.
"Everyone, put away your things …" Grimm appeared at the spiral staircase. "Let me introduce you. This is the famous Wizard Mary of our Sarubo Family!"
Wizard Mary? Bloody Witch?
All the apprentices present opened their mouths wide in shock. They stared at this Wizard Mary, who did not look like a peerless demon no matter how they looked at her. All the apprentices of the Sarubo Family had long heard of her fierce name. She was a combat wizard who grew up with Wizard Grimm and had a powerful talent for vampirism.
However, since she had just become a wizard and was sent to the battlefield in another plane, not many apprentices in the family had seen her. Otherwise, it would not be funny that the apprentices of the Sarubo Family did not know their own wizard.
"Mary, when did you come back? Let's talk about it at my place! "After not seeing her for a long time, Grim could clearly sense the changes in Mary.
However, unlike her usual self, Mary did not show too much surprise. Instead, she narrowed her blood-red eyes and quietly sized up Grim. After a long time, he said proudly, "I've killed Entik!"
Grim's expression changed when he heard this, and he couldn't help but ask, "Evil Worm Entek? You killed him? "
The Bloody Witch killed that insect?
This explosive news made all the Sorcerer-Apprentices present dumbstruck. Each and every one of them did not know how to conceal the shock and astonishment on their faces.
And Grim was the one who suffered the greatest psychological impact!
Others might not know how difficult it was to deal with that Evil Insect Sorcerer Entich, but he had fought with that fellow many times, so he was very familiar with his evil and powerful insect repelling techniques. In terms of battle prowess, Entich wasn't the strongest, but he was definitely the hardest to deal with!
He was also a powerful sorcerer who excelled in challenging those of a higher rank.
If he was allowed to cultivate a horde of Carrion Beetles, ordinary Sorcerers would not even have the chance to get close to him before they were devoured. Even though Entich only had the strength of a newly advanced Sorcerer, with the advantage of the number of Carrion Beetles and his undying body, it would not be a problem for him to kill an elite Sorcerer.
"I hereby formally challenge you!" Mary was destined to scare some people to death today. She opened her mouth and threw out another heavy bomb, "Follow me!"
After saying this, a blood-red mist spread out from Mary's back. A pair of large, leathery bat wings with distinct joints spread out, and her whole body slowly floated into the air. She rushed out of the stone tower and flew towards the wilderness west of the city.
Damn it, what the hell is going on!?
Grimm, who was bewildered by the scene before him, did not know whether to laugh or cry.
With Mary's fickle personality and emotions, even he could not immediately grasp how she thought.
"All of you, listen to Sabrina's command. Guard the stone tower well. Before I return, don't let anything slip!" After giving some simple instructions, Grimm used his authority as a stationed Sorcerer to activate all the defensive spell formations of the stone tower. He then followed Mary to the west of the city.
… …
Ten miles west of the city of Gilnis.
When Grimm 'arduously' arrived here, Mary had already been waiting for a long time.
On top of a small hill that looked like a grave, Mary flapped her large bat wings and floated half a meter above the ground. Her blood-red eyes stared unblinkingly at Grimm.
Half of Mary's body was covered in tight red armor. Blood runes flowed on it, and from time to time, blood-red roses would appear. Her exposed arms and legs were so white and tender, and the surface of her skin flashed with a dazzling fluorescence.
Mary's small face was still as exquisite as ever. Her seductive, fiery red lips and blood-red eyes were unforgettable.
On her back, there was a longbow flowing with blood-red light.
Grimm could not be more familiar with this armor and longbow. Grimm could even describe every single mageweath and rune on it as if they were his family treasures, because he was the one who had helped Mary modify them.
"Mary, what's wrong?" When Grimm arrived, he stopped and asked in confusion, "We haven't seen each other for so many years. Shouldn't we be sitting together and reminiscing? Why are you doing this all of a sudden? "
"What's our relationship?" Mary asked abruptly.
"Relationship?" Grimm tilted his head and thought for a while. Finally, he gave a cautious answer, "Friends!"
"Wizards don't have friends! Wizards only care about knowledge, benefits, and themselves! "
"Maybe it's too hard for you to accept being a friend. Why don't you define us as partners?"
"There are big partners and little partners! Between you and me, who do you think is the big partner? Who do you think is the little partner? " Mary was still staring at Grimm expressionlessly. Her words made Grimm's heart tremble.
Struggle for power?
In the past, when Mary and Grimm worked together, both of them showed great sincerity. Because the enemies they faced were too powerful, the two of them had to work together sincerely to overcome the difficulties, so they almost never clearly distinguished the primary and secondary relationship between the two.
"Five days ago, when I returned from the Knight Plane, I heard that you had some problems with the Sarubo Family. That Wizard Meryl also told me everything that happened in the family during this short period of time. I can tell that you are not a person who is content with the status quo. Be it your newly built Wizard's Pagoda or your investment in Alice, they all show your ambition. "
Grimm did not speak, listening quietly.
"You want to be independent! You want to build your own faction! " Mary pressed on and finally asked the most important question, "Then what kind of position can I get in the camp you envisioned?"
"Your concubine, or your fighter?"
Mary's voice suddenly became high-pitched as she said the last sentence.
"If you want me to work for you, you have to defeat me first! Otherwise, you should be the one to submit to me and be my 'queen'! "
Following Mary's ear-piercing screech, the bat wings on her back suddenly spread out to the extreme. Her entire body was shrouded in a blood-red color, and four vampire bats suddenly flew out. They landed on the ground and transformed into three valiant knights wearing blood-red armor and a young noble.
Three Radiant Knights?
Grimm could see through the identity of the three Blood Knights with a glance, and could not help but be secretly shocked by Mary's strength.
If she didn't do this, the stronger Mary was, the happier Grimm would be. But now, the stronger Mary was, the more Grimm could not help but feel a headache coming on.
F * ck, if he did not have some strength, it would be wishful thinking to want to subdue an unruly female Wizard! Especially with Mary's competitive personality, if he wanted her to become his woman, he would have to beat her to the point that she would be convinced of his superiority.
Seeing Mary's strength, Grimm knew that this was not the time for him to be afraid. Even though it was strange to fight someone on his own side, it would be worth it if he could make Mary completely 'attach' to him!
After understanding all this, Grimm abandoned the wild thoughts that he should not have, and finally showed his true strength.
He casually took out a sparkling magic puppet crystal core from his waist pouch and threw it in the air. Grimm laughed coldly as he quickly expanded.
Turbulent elemental flames gushed out from his body, instantly turning him into a flaming man covered in dazzling flames. The ground under his feet quickly softened and melted under the extremely high temperature. Soon, it condensed into a pool of boiling magma.
The fiery red lava flowed up Grimm's legs, and everywhere it passed, the flaming man was covered in a thick layer of lava armor.
Dark red lava, crimson lava, and terrifying flames mixed together, forming a four-meter-tall Balrog body for Grimm.
* Whoosh whoosh whoosh … *
Up to seven flaming shields condensed in the air and began to rapidly revolve around the Balrog body. Each shield was one meter wide and two meters tall, and they were completely formed by red and yellow flames.
* Clang … *
A loud and resounding sound rang out.
Two wide lava shields formed from flames and lava quickly formed in front and behind the Balrog body.
Finally, an egg-shaped light red barrier shot out from Grimm's body, instantly covering an area of a hundred meters.
All the grass within the range of the flame barrier began to spontaneously combust.
