Deep into the night.
The bustling Gilnis City had once again returned to its usual tranquility.
The famished Bliss wandered around the stone tower, searching for his prey.
The black robe on his body bulged, as if there were many living creatures digging under it. Strange cracking sounds could be heard from time to time.
This was the second level of the stone tower. Other than Sabrina and Moss, there was no one else here.
Thus, Bliss did not find a suitable target even after walking around the corridor again and again.
At this moment, in Bliss's strange compound eyes, dozens of scenes from different regions were flashing before his eyes. He, who had mastered the "Bug's Eye" for the first time, was getting dizzy.
Without a sound, Bliss stopped somewhere in the corridor. He silently sensed what was going on behind a thick stone door. Under his black robe, four to five strange insects with dark shells rolled out with a wave of squirming.
They were only the size of a fingernail, but they crawled agilely on the ground, then crawled into the small gap under the stone door.
As soon as they crawled into the stone door, Bliss's dense compound eyes immediately used their vision to see what was going on inside.
The stone door was brightly lit. Sabrina, the Quasi Sorcerer, was lying on a wooden table, carefully polishing a sharp cross-shaped spiral blade. As a mechanical girl, these cross-shaped blades were one of the few long-range attacks she had. Thus, she had to take them out and maintain them every once in a while.
Just as she was concentrating on her work, an indescribable sense of danger suddenly crept into her heart.
Sabrina suddenly turned around. The red mechanical eyes under the half-silver mask quickly scanned the entire room, but did not find anything out of the ordinary. Be it the infrared sensor of her left eye or the low-light vision of her right eye, they did not capture any unusual creatures, except for a few small insects slowly crawling in the shadows at the corner of the wall.
Small insects?
Sabrina's mechanical eyes flashed fiercely.
Even though this place could not compare to the regular Wizard's Pagoda, it still had a set of tight defense spell formation. How could she let some small insects enter her room!
Understanding this, Sabrina's girl-like body suddenly split open a few long and narrow cracks, and three cross-shaped spinning blades shot out. They streaked across the shadows in the corner of the wall as fast as lightning.
Those weird little bugs were obviously no match for the Cross Spinning Blades that were enchanted with piercing and sharpening effects. In Sabrina's infrared perception, the five red dots were instantly extinguished. Just as the insects were killed, a faint groan came from outside the stone door.
Without hesitation, Sabrina opened the stone door and rushed out with her silver-white mechanical tentacles waving around her. She held an instant-cast magic wand in each hand. However, under the soft illumination of the crystal, not a single figure could be seen in the long and narrow corridor.
The enemy ran so fast!
Sabrina's eyes flashed. She planned to send a witchcraft message to Grimm on the third floor of the stone tower. However, as soon as the light of witchcraft information gathered around her mouth, Sabrina's heart skipped a beat. She turned her hand and took the cross-shaped blade that killed the alien insects.
Its surface was stained with a bit of stinky mucus. Under the light of the lamp, it emitted a strange green luster!
Could it be him?
Sabrina hesitated for a moment, then waved her hand to disperse the light. She turned around and returned to the room. After closing the stone door, there was no more movement.
At the end of the corridor, near the corner of the ceiling, where the illumination of the crystal could not reach, was currently filled with strange black beetles.
When the corridor regained its silence, the black beetles surged out like a tide and crawled along the wall to the floor. There, they once again formed a strange human figure wearing a black robe.
Insect Eye, Insect Swarm Incarnation, Shadow Traversal, Earth Spear Thrust …
These were the various strange abilities that Bliss had obtained after fusing with the Mutant Insect Queen.
However, because his spiritual force was too weak, he could not support a large swarm of insects. Thus, he could only send out 12 beetle scouts.
Bliss's spiritual force was still at the level of a beginner apprentice, but his combat ability had improved. He was no longer the little apprentice that could be easily bullied.
Lord Grim had said that the Insect Queen he fused with used to belong to the Demonic Insect Entik, and Entik was a powerful Magus. This meant that the path to becoming a Magus had long been opened. Now, he only needed to focus on training his spiritual force and he would be able to steadily enter the rank of a Magus.
Although he was still a beginner apprentice, the speed at which he advanced to become a Magus was destined to be tens or even hundreds of times faster than other acolytes.
In the future, he was destined to become a powerful bloodline Magus!
Under the motivation of this powerful conviction, Bliss's heart surged. He almost could not control his restless emotions and wanted to rush to the first floor of the stone tower to start a massacre.
Flesh, he needed flesh!
For some reason, after successfully fusing with the Insect Queen, his thirst for flesh and blood had never disappeared!
If not for Lord Grim's strict warning that he was not allowed to hunt within the stone tower, the few acolytes on the first floor, as well as the many maids and odd-job workers, would have long become his prey.
Bliss stood up and looked at the stone door at the end of the corridor, then turned around and disappeared into the darkness around the corner.
With his current strength, he was still not a match for these Quasi Sorcerers. He did not even have the ability to get close to them. Therefore, if he wanted to keep his secret, he could only lower his stance and target those below the rank of high-rank acolyte.
After taking two steps in the dimly lit corridor, Blitz abruptly halted his steps.
The master seemed to have emphasized that he was not allowed to hunt within the stone tower, but did not mention anything about outside the tower. If he were to sneak out of the stone tower under the cover of night, no one would care about the tens of thousands of people in Gilnis City going missing.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of senseless slaughter would definitely arouse the good in Bliss's heart. But at this moment, his stomach was rumbling with hunger, and his mind was already muddled by the flames of hunger. He no longer had the time to care about the various feelings in his heart. Instead, he succumbed to his instincts of slaughter and predation, turning around and rushing towards the nearest airtight window.
… …
Sensing that Bliss's aura had disappeared from the stone tower, Grim, who was flipping through a spell book on the third floor of the stone tower, shook his head slightly and sighed inwardly.
As a Sorcerer stationed in the tower, with his defensive spell formation and powerful spiritual force, nothing that happened in the stone tower could escape his spiritual senses. That was why Grim was aware of Bliss's actions, even adding fuel to the fire and allowing him to do as he pleased.
Without Grimm's permission, it would have been impossible for Bliss to escape the bluestone tower with his weak attack power.
He casually threw out a magic puppet crystal core and summoned a Wind Breath Monster, letting it hover in the air and follow Bliss. With this spy in the sky, Bliss's every move in Gilnis City was under his control.
Grim had a good impression of Bliss, a beginner acolyte!
Loyal, hardworking, and a little kind-hearted, he was a decent acolyte. His only regret was that his elemental affinity was not too obvious, causing his innate talent to be low. He had been stuck at the beginner acolyte level for a long time, unable to advance.
However, after successfully fusing with the Insect Queen, his dual elemental attributes of darkness and earth had been activated, becoming more obvious than his other attributes. This would obviously affect the development of his bloodline in the future. Furthermore, after two creatures with different natures fused together, how would their nature develop? This was a question worth investigating and exploring!
Hence, after the A.I. Chip established the relevant research subjects, Grim worked hard to gather the necessary research materials from various angles.
In any case, with Grim's methods, it was as easy as flipping his hand to gather basic information and habits from Bliss's senses!
The only thing he had to be careful of was not to let Bliss blow things up. If news spread, even if Grim could calm things down with the help of Lord Arwa, it would still attract unnecessary trouble.
Bliss was different from Meryl. Like the Blazing Flame Monarch's Gargamel, Bliss was a subordinate that Grim had secretly created for his future development. If he could avoid exposing himself, Grim did not wish for him to appear too early in the eyes of 'people with ulterior motives'.
After settling Bliss's matters, Grim took out a knowledge crystal from his waist pouch and tossed it in his hand, sinking into deep thought.
This knowledge crystal came from the storage space of the Flemish wizard. Inside it was a messy record of a lot of fragmented witchcraft knowledge. It was obvious that these were incomplete knowledge that Flender had obtained by chance during his long life as a Magus. To prevent himself from forgetting important things, he had recorded them all in the knowledge crystal.
Some time ago, the A.I. Chip had used space and time to tidy up the fragmented knowledge. After filtering out 87% of the useless knowledge and the information that it had already collected, the remaining 13% had greatly expanded Grim's knowledge base.
From this 13% of incomplete knowledge, Grim had unexpectedly obtained an important piece of information.
Soul equipment could also continue to evolve!
Grimm also had the Soul Armament, which was the book he had obtained from the Flower Demons' Lair. Ever since he had obtained it, it had always been by Grim's side, and had helped him greatly in countless battles.
Firstly, the characteristics of Soul Equipment was something that Grim should research.
It was a pity that he had too little knowledge and information, and even if he wanted to research it, he did not know where to start.
Hence, Grim had always treated the Secret Voodoo Scroll as a high-grade spell book that could store six instant-cast spells. He had never thought of exploring its deeper applications.
However, Grim had unexpectedly obtained this strange piece of information from Flender's knowledge crystal.
If the Secret Voodoo Scroll could become even more powerful …
