Three days later.
Someone from the Anu family, whom Grim had been waiting for, finally came.
Early in the morning, Grim opened his eyes and found that there was another 'person' in his room.
A blurry figure stood silently in the shadows of the corner of the room.
Even though the sky was bright and the bright sunlight shone through the narrow window, most of the room was illuminated with a golden hue. However, the place where the figure stood was still dark and deep, as if a passage to the Shadow World had been opened in the darkness.
Grim was startled and closed his eyes to sense the surroundings. Regardless of whether it was his spiritual sense, the A.I. Chip's energy probe, or the defensive system of the stone tower, none of them could detect any abnormalities. The only difference was that the shadow energy was slightly more active at the spot where the blurry figure was standing.
However, this' active 'was only relative.
After all, the entire Magus World was in a state where elemental energy was relatively abundant. Due to the uneven distribution of elemental energy in the geographical environment, there would always be a 'deposit' of elemental energy in certain places. This was a common phenomenon in the Magus World. Grimm, who was used to it, would not be able to distinguish the figure from the background with his spiritual perception if he closed his eyes.
Grim took a deep breath and got up from his bed. He gazed deeply at the blurry figure and bowed, "It's my honour to be able to meet you! Welcome, Lord Colin! "
"At first, I was wondering why Flender failed, but after seeing you, I suddenly understood everything …" A cold voice came from the blurry shadow, and it was hard to tell if it was a man or a woman. "Your body hasn't finished tempering, but you've already started tempering your spirit … Hehe, little guy, if I were you, I'd slow down first and fill up the emptiness in my body first …"
Grim listened quietly.
Although he did not know why the other party suddenly reminded him, he knew that everything the other party said was beneficial to him.
Ever since Grim completed his Body of Flames and advanced to become a Magus, his potential had increased by leaps and bounds compared to when he was an acolyte. But the pool was big, and he did not have enough time to fill it up.
With his current strength as a veteran Magus, all of his attributes should not be lower than 5 points. As long as he was willing to spend some magical crystals and find some suitable Body Tempering methods, he could definitely double his strength, agility, and physique in 20 to 30 years.
However, it was a pity that he lacked the necessary accumulation due to his frequent running around. Although his Spirit Attribute had risen to 7 points, the other attributes of his body had severely hindered his progress.
Although he had used a good method to cover up this situation, the 'internal weakness' had become his biggest worry!
Although he had just crushed the two Anu family Magi in a glorious manner, that was largely due to the wind dragon's strength. With the Wind Dragon around, his opponents would not be able to attack him unscrupulously, and he would be able to fully display his advantages and control the development of the battle as he pleased.
Without the Wind Dragon, Grim could only forcefully change his body a second time to fight against that Magus Flender. Once the transformation ended, he would only be left to be trampled on!
According to the A.I. Chip's estimation, the dragon crystal that Alice had given to Grim was worth at least 300,000 magic crystals. After it was turned into a Wind Dragon Puppet, its basic value had reached a ridiculous 500,000 magic crystals.
Therefore, Flender and Magus Sicar's defeat was not a loss at all. They had been crushed by 500,000 magic crystals.
"Lord Colin, the purpose of your visit this time …" Facing a rank 2 Shadow Magus from the Anu family, Grim would be bragging if he said he was not nervous. After all, with the power that the other party had displayed, it was very likely that he could be killed in one hit.
Although the stone tower was his territory, Grim had not yet locked onto the other party's position with his spiritual force. Even this blurry shadow in front of him could not be sure if it was the original body of Magus Colin.
This meant that once both sides started fighting, Grim could only rely on his instincts to attack. One could only imagine the effect of this attack!
"Our Anu family and your Sarubo family have reached a preliminary agreement. The war will not continue, otherwise …" The Magus in the shadow let out a cold laugh, causing Grim's heart to tremble, "I've already taken those two fellows away. This is your compensation …"
A black shadow shot out in front of Grimm and suddenly turned into a black fog. When the fog slowly dispersed, a grey bag appeared in Grim's hand. It was heavy and seemed to be filled with many things.
Grim's heart trembled.
If the black line had not stopped and had hit him instead, he would not have had time to react and would have been killed in an instant.
There was no doubt that the opponent's move carried a hint of deterrence!
When Grim's attention shifted away from the grey bag, he realised that the blurry figure had already disappeared.
The light in the room had also become brighter.
… …
Gilnis City.
In an ordinary house three miles away from the stone tower, all the doors and windows of the house were covered with thick black cloth. The inside of the house was filled with a shadow substance that was almost solid.
In the middle of the house, there was a small rune circle. A strange Magus wearing a black robe was silently sitting inside.
Suddenly, a black light flashed in the rune circle, and the shadow substance that was like a mountain entering the sea began to move slowly.
A moment later, the thick shadow substance gathered in two places and condensed into two blurry human figures. With the continuous injection of the shadow substance, the two human figures gradually became more solid. They had already turned from incorporeal to something that could be touched.
Finally, after the excess shadow substance exploded, two real Magi with flesh and blood appeared there.
Cicar and Flander were locked in the stone tower with a bitter expression a moment ago. Who knew that in the next moment, they would suddenly be in a daze, and they would suddenly appear in a dark space where they could not even see their own fingers in front of them.
The two were shocked at first, but when they turned their heads and saw the black robed Magus sitting in the rune circle, they immediately understood what had happened and hurriedly bowed to him.
After more than ten days of recuperation, Cicar's damaged body had more or less recovered. However, the regenerated flesh was obviously not as strong as the previous body tempering. Hence, his entire person seemed a little weak.
"Greetings, Lord Colin!"
"Lord Colin!"
The two's dull and lifeless eyes suddenly shone with hope, and they bowed to each other with faces full of surprise.
"Your performance this time was not good. You've completely lost the face of the family." The black robed Magus's face was shrouded in a blurry shadow, and even his voice sounded illusory, "When you return, you'll be punished!"
The two's faces instantly turned deathly pale.
"I wonder how the family plans to deal with this matter?" Flander asked hesitantly.
"Why … Do you plan to let two mid-tier families really fight?" The black robed Magus's cold voice came from the shadow, "If you had performed better this time, the family would have had some advantage in the negotiations with the other party. Now, you've destroyed the other party's resource point, and even the two of you have become the other party's captives … In order to settle this matter, the family has lost a lot of resources. Hmph … "
The two had been locked up in the stone tower for so long, and they could roughly guess some of the family's reactions. However, when they really heard the news, the resentment and depression in their hearts were still so strong.
"Lord Colin, is the family not going to hunt down that Quasi-Sorcerer Sack anymore?" Flander could not help but ask in a low voice.
"The order to hunt him down is still in effect, but it can no longer be carried out in the family's name. That guy called Sack must die! Unless he never leaves Ferdinand City for the rest of his life, otherwise … "The voice in the shadow was cold, as if it had been squeezed out from between the gaps of his teeth, making one's heart turn cold after hearing it.
"Then … What about that fire demon?" The one who asked this time was Cicar.
He had suffered the most damage this time, so the hatred he had suppressed in his heart was driving him crazy.
"A fight between Magi is unavoidable. If the two of you want to regain your dignity, the family will naturally support you. However, this can only be carried out in private. You should think carefully. If you fail again, the other party will have enough of an excuse to kill you! "
Hearing the black robed Magus's words, the two's faces turned even paler.
"That fire demon has a powerful Wind Dragon Puppet, and its strength is no weaker than a Peak Elite …" Cicar said hatefully.
"In the family, any Tier 1 Magus would not be a match for him in a one-on-one fight! Unless … "Speaking up to this point, Flander could not help but hesitate.
"Unless Lord Ivan personally takes action!" Cicar gritted his teeth and said what Flander found hard to say.
Although this Wizard Ivan was respectfully addressed as Lord, in reality, he was still a Tier 1 Magus. However, he was already at the peak of Tier 1 Elite Magi, and was currently making various preparations to become a Tier 2 Magus.
More importantly, Wizard Ivan was the direct disciple of this Tier 2 black robed Magus, Colin.
"Hmph, the two of you can stop dreaming!" The dark and cold spiritual force of the Magus in black robes surged slightly, making it hard for the two of them to breathe. "Ivan has already been transferred to the family's secondary plane last month. There, he will be able to break through to Grade 2 without any interference. So, you have to regain your lost dignity by yourselves. Don't even think of borrowing the family's strength. This time, even I have been specifically warned by the family leader not to cross ranks and attack. Otherwise, it will attract a strong backlash from the other party's family … "
Regarding this point, Cicar and Flander had long since understood it in their hearts.
This was actually an unwritten rule of the various large Magus organisations. No high-ranked Magus could wantonly kill low-ranked Magi.
Of course, there were exceptions when low-ranked Magi took the initiative to offend!
The reason for this rule was to maintain the order of the entire Magus World.
Otherwise, without the restrictions of the rules, any high-ranked Magus from any two Magus families would have the terrifying strength to kill all the low-ranked Magi and the mortals in the other party's territory. If they went all out and slaughtered, it was estimated that apart from a few scattered high-ranked Magi, the remaining strength of the two opposing families would be wiped out cleanly.
Hence, under normal circumstances, high-ranked Magi would not easily interfere in a battle between low-ranked Magi. Otherwise, the other party could use this as an excuse to kill their own low-ranked Magi.
