Blazing Flame Monarch Wizard Pagoda.
There were no more than three Wizard Tower Wizards who knew that Grimm had advanced to the next level.
Just like before, today was still an ordinary day with nothing out of the ordinary.
But at a certain moment, everyone suddenly received a message and rushed to the fourth level of the Wizard's Pagoda from their labs, residences, and lecture halls.
The eight Wizard Tower Wizards and the twelve Resident Wizards gathered in the Witchcraft Hall, which immediately filled up the place.
Most of the Wizards did not know what was going on, but they were stunned by the heavy atmosphere when they arrived. They immediately understood that something important was about to happen in the Wizard's Pagoda. The resident Wizards were only guests, and naturally could not know what was happening in the upper echelons of the Wizard's Pagoda.
Thus, they gathered together and discussed, asking each other about what might happen next. Some of the Wizards who had lived here for many years and were more familiar with the Wizard Tower Wizards secretly used Wizard Techniques to ask questions.
Unfortunately, even though there were many Wizards gathered here, only a few knew what was going on.
A few of the Wizard Tower Wizards looked at each other, then turned their gazes to the Wizard Gargamel, who had convened the meeting.
Gargamel's wrinkled face shriveled, and he spread his hands.
"Don't look at me, I only gathered everyone because I received a message from Lady Mary!"
The gazes of the crowd all landed on Mary, who was standing in a corner of the hall, picking at her nails.
"Don't look at me either. I only informed Gargamel to gather all of you as per Grimm's instructions. I don't know anything else … "
Such irresponsible words immediately made all the Sorcerers present angry.
But a few of the people who knew what was going on could vaguely guess what was going on. They all lowered their heads, hiding their faces in the shadows of their hoods, unwilling to let others see their expressions.
Mary was indifferent, Gargamel was frowning, Meryl was restless, and Sabrina had her arms crossed, silently looking at the people in the hall. The rest were either confused, stunned, or expressionless … No one spoke. Everyone shut their mouths, silently waiting for the outcome of the meeting.
Suddenly …
For no reason, the Blazing Flame Monarch Wizard's Pagoda suddenly shook violently. An unfamiliar wave of mental energy suddenly appeared, quickly and stealthily scanning the bodies of the Wizards.
"There's an enemy …"
"The Wizard's Pagoda is under attack …"
"Let's go back and be on guard …"
The mysterious anomaly immediately caused the resident wizards to become restless. One by one, they took out their wands and gripped tightly onto their magic scrolls, vigilantly sensing the anomaly in the space.
"Everyone, calm down! I have something to announce to everyone today … "Suddenly, a loud voice that sounded like a fiery explosion came from the void. It was muffled, and although it was dull, it was extraordinarily loud.
A few wizards were caught off guard and had to cover their ears to resist the loud sound of the bell.
Then, with a sharp tearing sound, a crack that was more than two meters long suddenly appeared in the void in the center of the hall, from which a blinding red light shot out.
In front of everyone's eyes, a hole was torn in the originally tough space. Separated by a thin layer of energy light film, they could vaguely see the surging magma sea on the other side of the space. In front of the light film, a giant man of fire was trying hard to enter the Wizard's Pagoda through the crack.
The giant man of fire stretched out a pair of large hands made of pure elemental flames and grabbed onto the edge of the uneven space crack. He forcefully pulled it to both sides, immediately widening the crack to the point where it could pass through.
Thus, in the next moment, the body of the man of fire suddenly turned into a terrifying flame that could destroy the heavens and the earth, directly corroding the light film and appearing within the Wizard's Pagoda.
This was a terrifying fire giant that was seven meters tall when it stood up.
If not for the fact that the Wizard Hall was built especially tall, it might not have been able to contain such a colossal creature within.
As the light film broke, the terrifying heat immediately turned the Wizard Hall into a giant furnace. The Wizards all felt the terrifying, suffocating wave of heat coming at them. The corners of their clothes that were not protected by spells immediately ignited with golden sparks, while the terrifying crimson flames forced them to retreat step by step.
But they no longer cared, because an even more terrifying and massive enemy had appeared before them.
Unexpectedly, after the giant man of fire entered the Wizard's Pagoda, he did not immediately start a massacre. Instead, he turned around and swiped his large hands of fire, using his terrifying power to heal the crack in the space. The raging sea of fire that was about to erupt was once again sealed back onto the other side of the light film. Then, with the injection of the Wizard's Pagoda's power, the broken space quickly mended.
Oh, why does this fire giant have the authority to control the Wizard's Pagoda?
A few quick-witted Wizards immediately noticed this problem, while the rest of the resident Wizards all hid at the edge of the hall. Their hands, hidden in their sleeves, tightly held onto Escape Scrolls or Traction Scrolls. They had already made up their minds to escape as soon as they saw that the situation was not good.
This Wizard's Pagoda did not belong to them, and they would not risk their lives for some Magical Crystals. They could tell with a single look that this invading man of fire was not a kind soul. They could tell from the vast and terrifying ripples of energy that this … This was definitely a terrifying level two Magical Creature. Once the other party lost its temper, they might not be able to subdue it even if they gathered the power of all the Wizards present.
Thus, it was better for them to hide further away before the battle began.
Just as the Wizards were in a state of panic, Mary walked toward the giant man of fire with a relaxed expression, circling 'it' twice.
Even though Mary was tall, she only reached the height of the Fire Giant's thigh when she stood before it. The other party spread its arms, and a single finger was as thick as Mary's waist. Thus, when the Fire Giant stood there majestically, all of the Wizards could not help but feel their bodies heat up, not daring to meet its scorching gaze that was as bright as the sun.
After circling it twice, Mary could not hold back her curiosity, and could not help but extend her hand to touch the flames burning on the Fire Giant's thick thigh.
With a soft sizzle, green smoke rose. Mary's extended right hand was scorched black by the flames protecting the body of the Fire Giant, causing her to cry out in pain.
"What's going on? You still can't control the flames in your body? "Mary hurriedly retracted her right hand.
Along with a burst of blood Qi surging on it, countless ashes fell off the hand that had been like charcoal just a moment ago, revealing the red and tender skin underneath.
"There's nothing I can do … The fire energy I absorbed this time was too much, and I'll need a few more days to completely digest it …" The Fire Giant replied in a low, muffled voice.
"Teacher … Is that you? You … You advanced to rank 2? "Meryl excitedly took a few steps forward and asked incoherently.
Teacher? Advanced?
At this moment, if everyone still did not understand, they would not have the qualifications to be called knowledgeable and intelligent Magi.
All of the Magi present could not help but hold their breaths, quietly waiting for the Fire Giant's reply.
"Hehe … Meryl, I'm very lucky. I've advanced successfully this time!" The Fire Giant let out a tsunami-like laughter towards the sky. However, he soon lowered his head to look at his huge body and sighed, "However … I absorbed too much fire energy during the advancement ceremony. If I want to completely digest it and return to my original body, I'm afraid I'll need another ten days to half a month …"
Grimm's fire giant form mumbled a lot more, but all the Wizards chose to ignore it. Instead, they focused all their attention on the first sentence Grimm said.
He … Succeeded!
The owner of the Flame Monarch Wizard's Pagoda has become a rank 2 Magus!
This explosive news left everyone in a daze, their mouths agape and hands spread out. They could only stare blankly at the tall Fire Giant.
The path of a Magus was extremely difficult. Honestly speaking, most of the Magi present had no hope of crossing the threshold and advancing from a regular rank 1 Magus to a high-ranked Magus.
In the middle of the night, they too had dreamed of such a glorious moment of victory. However, the calm minds of the Magi repeatedly reminded them that it was just a beautiful dream!
To them, being able to sense the aura of a rank 2 Magus at such a close distance was already very rare. But now, they were witnessing the rise of a powerful rank 2 Magus with their own eyes!
If they remembered correctly, the owner of the Wizard's Pagoda, the legendary Fire Demon, had only advanced to become a Magus less than a hundred years ago. With such a frightening speed, Lord Grimm had proven that he possessed a frightening talent and great potential that far surpassed ordinary people.
At this rate, reaching Level 3 and Level 4 wasn't that far away!
The more the Magi thought about it, the more excited they became. They could not help but look at the Fire Giant with a trace of admiration.
Ever since they had become Magi, they had become the favoured children of the plane.
However, they knew in their hearts that they were just some marginal figures in the huge Sorcerer community. No one would really pay attention to them and care about them.
This terrifying reality had nurtured their arrogant, extreme, twisted, and resentful attitudes.
With such emotions, the only thing that could subdue them in this world was absolute power and profound knowledge. The only thing that could subdue them was the respect and admiration they had for the strong!
They might not be willing to follow a rank 2 Magus and act like a lackey. However, if they could follow a powerful future great Magus, they would be more than happy to do so.
Unlike the resident Magi, Mary and the rest of the Tower Magi could not help but gather around Grimm. They closed their eyes and silently sensed the powerful Soul Ripples that were unique to a rank 2 Magus. Grimm had just advanced and his mental strength had not completely stabilized, which was why his Soul Aura was leaking out.
This was a rare opportunity that would only come once in a lifetime. If Grimm was given half a month's time, it would be impossible for them to investigate the secrets of a rank 2 Magus.
The resident Magi could only look on enviously from afar. None of them dared to imitate the Tower Magi and get close to Grimm.
After all, any rank 2 Magus would not allow an outsider to probe their secrets so brazenly!
Even if they were not a threat to them, they would not allow it.
In fact, even from afar, the group of resident Magi could faintly sense Grimm's terrifying mental strength ripples, as well as the strange aura that they could not describe.
It was the smell of laws!
Compared to them, the aura of laws on a rank 2 Magus was undoubtedly stronger.
