Faced with Grimm's' warm invitation ', Wizard Forgan's expression was both awkward and solemn.
After a moment's hesitation, Forgan finally spoke.
"Wizard Grimm, since you haven't signed a new service contract with our family after advancing to level two, I'm here today to inform you that you and your subordinates no longer belong to the Salubo Family!"
Wizard Forgan had obviously used some kind of spell on his last sentence. Not only did the people present hear it clearly, even the adventurers and mercenaries that had escaped into the nearby forest, as well as the Wizards and apprentices in the Flame Monarch's Wizard Pagoda could hear it clearly.
In that moment, many Wizards and apprentices in the Flame Monarch's Wizard Pagoda gasped.
Everyone's emotions became restless.
A large group of Vampires had come looking for trouble, and the main family, the Salubo Family, had kicked Grimm out. This time … the Flame Monarch was in trouble! As members of the Blazing Flame Monarch, would they be able to escape this calamity?
No one was willing to put up with a problem that involved their own lives …
Thus, in Grimm's senses, the Flame Monarch was like a raging volcano. All sorts of angry and pessimistic emotions were suddenly released, sweeping toward the master of the Wizard's Pagoda.
Of course, the ones who reacted the most strongly were the resident Wizards.
They were not core Wizards of the Flame Monarch, and had only chosen to become resident Wizards because they coveted the benefits, or because they wanted a place to stay. Now that the Wizard's Pagoda was facing a crisis of life and death, they were naturally the most unstable.
To be honest, they would never agree to fight to the death against the Vampires of the Wick Family for the sake of the Flame Monarch.
Thus, with the control crystal of the Wizard's Pagoda, Grimm received countless resignation applications from the internal department. Among them were Wizards, apprentices, pharmacists, herbalists, beast tamers, skinner, and cobblers employed by the Wizard's Pagoda …
Some of the more impatient ones did not even wait for Grimm's reply before packing their bags and running away.
A moment later, a large group of people rushed out of the Flame Cave, bowing to Grimm, Gargamel, and the Vampires in front of them. They shouted, "I'm not a member of the Wizard's Pagoda," and then scattered.
Among the crowd, Gargamel naturally saw many familiar faces.
These resident Sorcerers would usually flatter the Gargamel Deputy Tower Master to fight for resources and benefits for themselves. However, now that the Blazing Flame Monarch was in danger, they were the fastest to run.
Gargamel's attention was on the group of Sorcerers, while Grim's attention was on a strange figure mixed in the crowd.
After he left the flame cave, he did not scatter into the surrounding forest like the others. Instead, he flew up and quietly stood behind Wizard Forgan.
Although the other party was wearing a black robe with a hood hanging low, Grimm could still recognize him through the familiar soul undulations.
Em!
The Blazing Flame Monarch's Tower Magus.
He was one of Grimm's oldest apprentices.
The other party's current attitude had clearly revealed his true identity.
It seemed like the Salubo Family had been keeping an eye on Grim ever since he returned from the Knight Plane. This Em was also very patient, being able to 'hide' beside Grimm for so long.
From this, it could be seen that the Salubo Family knew everything that had happened in the Blazing Flame Monarch. It was all thanks to Magus Am!
In that moment, Grimm and Gargamel were like rocks in a small stream. Countless Magi, acolytes, and craftsmen rushed out of the Flame Cave, fleeing into the surrounding forest.
This caused the two figures that stood proudly to seem lonely and desolate!
Hennes, who was leisurely sitting on a black high-back chair, gently swirled the glass in his hand. His slender, cold, and pale face was filled with an unconcealable sneer of disdain.
This was the atmosphere he had deliberately created. Before he killed his target, he wanted to let them taste the feeling of betrayal and the pain of defeat.
This was the only way to make up for the humiliation they had suffered from destroying a vampire manor in the Vic Family's territory.
Lester, who was one of the parties involved, also laughed coldly.
Ever since the incident in the Rose Manor half a month ago, he felt a mountain of pressure whenever he thought of that female vampire's talent, making it hard for him to eat or sleep. If he was allowed to continue growing like this, the backlash of his bloodline would become a foreseeable fact.
Thus, even if it meant risking his own reputation, he had to use the power of his family to completely eradicate this hidden danger.
Thus, when the crowds of people fled the Flame Monarch's Wizard Tower, Lester was undoubtedly the most worried of all the attacking vampires. His bloodshot eyes widened as he scanned the crowd fleeing the Flame Cave, afraid that the female vampire would take the opportunity to sneak out.
Wizard Forgan, who was standing silently on the horizon, was undoubtedly the most embarrassed of all.
Although he didn't object to the decision made by Lord Sanazar himself, he felt that it was too rash and heartless.
It was true that Hennes, who had brought a large number of subordinates to Ferdenan City to denounce them, was not easy to deal with, but that didn't mean that he would abandon a rank 2 Magus!
Although the conflict between the higher-ups of the Sarubo Family and Grimm had been going on for a long time, no one in the outside world knew about it. No matter how dignified Wizard Forgan's explanation was, in the eyes of outsiders, the Sarubo Family was cold-blooded and heartless for abandoning a high-grade Magus that belonged to them.
This … would be a huge blow to the reputation of the Sarubo Family!
Forgan also felt that this Grimm in front of him wasn't the kind of brainless idiot who would walk to his own death. Since he dared to provoke a vampire family with a rank 3 Magus, he had to have some sort of way to deal with it.
To be honest, even if the Sarubo Family removed his backup and cut all ties with him, it would still be wishful thinking for the vampires to destroy Grimm with just the Flame Monarch's Wizard's Pagoda beneath his feet.
A powerful Magus with the support of the Wizard's Pagoda would definitely be able to unleash power beyond everyone's imagination. Grimm might not be able to defeat the rank 3 Hynes, but if he hid inside the Wizard's Pagoda, it would be extremely difficult for the vampires to break in.
Hence, the most likely outcome was that both sides would fight to the death, and then be forced into a stalemate for a long period of time.
The vampires sealed off the perimeter of the Flame Monarch, cutting off all avenues of reinforcements for Grimm. Grimm and a few other Magi were trapped in a lone tower. Although it would be difficult for the enemy to break in, they would also be in a predicament of a lack of resources and food.
When that time came, Grimm and the rest would find it hard to continue. Other than lowering their heads to Lord Sanazar and accepting harsher terms, they would have no one else to turn to for help.
At that time, the Sarubo Family could intervene in the battle as a mediator. Although they might have to pay more resources, they would have a chance to take in another rank 2 Magus and his subordinates.
If a rank 2 Magus who had been beaten into submission could do this, even Lord Sanazar would wake up laughing in his sleep!
"You … are Grimm … the Fire Wizard?" Hynes finally asked as he slowly sipped on the blood wine in his hand.
His sharp aura penetrated reality, mind, soul, and many other levels, sweeping toward Grimm like a raging wave.
Grimm took a step forward and used his broad body to block Gargamel.
The layer of hazy fluorescent light around his body suddenly shone brightly and collided with the mental pressure that was coming at him.
Although mental pressure was invisible, under the drive of Heiness' powerful mental power, it was as if it had a physical form, almost manifesting in the real world. Grimm resisted the pressure with the help of the Wizard's Pagoda's Flame Barrier, but the ground around him could not withstand the pressure of a rank 3 Vampire Wizard, and the ground sank by more than half an inch.
From an outsider's point of view, it was as if Grimm had suddenly become half an inch shorter!
Grimm felt a chill in his heart.
The Vampires were not creatures that were known for their mental strength. If he could have such a terrifying mental pressure, then how strong would the mental strength of those Elemental Sorcerers or Spirit Sorcerers be?
Grimm, who had been having a smooth sailing recently, could not help but feel a little apprehensive.
The division of ranks in the Magus World was indeed true. The difference of a single rank would often result in a difference of more than ten times. There was still a terrifying gap between his strength and a rank 3 Wizard's.
"I would like to express my deepest apologies for what happened in the Rose Manor half a month ago. If you allow me, I hope to compensate your family's losses with a reasonable price … "Even in front of a rank 3 Wizard, Grimm still expressed his opinion in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing.
"Compensation? Kekeke … "As if they had heard the funniest joke in the world, the rank 3 Wizard Hynes, followed by the rest of the Vampires, could not help but laugh maniacally.
"Then use your lives to make up for it …"
As the rank 3 Wizard Hynes hissed, all of the Vampires rose into the air and charged at Grimm and Gargamel like a red cloud.
Among them, the two rank 2 Vampires, Lester and Torre, flew in front of the rest of the rank 1 Vampires, their clothes fluttering in the wind.
"Go back and take care of the Wizard's Pagoda. I'll handle this!"
Grimm was indeed worthy of being the leader of the camp. In this critical moment, he was still able to remain calm and collected. He pushed the Gargamel into a Flaming Gate, and with a wave of his hand, an oddly shaped long staff appeared in his hand.
Magic Flame Wall!
Resistance Aura!
With a soft shout, two defensive Flame Spells exploded in front of Grimm, engulfing all of the attacking Vampires.
