"A.I. Chip, search for the requirements to advance to rank 3!"
[Beep. Command accepted. Beginning to search database …]
Accompanied by a strange buzzing sound, the A.I. Chip quickly sent back the information that Grimm needed.
[Beep. According to the contents of the database and the Host's current stats, there are two requirements for Host to advance to rank 3:]
"First, spiritual force must reach 29 points … This is the requirement to advance to rank 3!"
"Second, obtain the necessary knowledge and resources to advance to rank 3 …"
"Currently, the Host still lacks the high-ranked applications of spiritual force, the necessary knowledge of elemental conversion, a self-constructed energy model, and the characteristics of high-ranked fire elemental magic … As for resources, I've attached a detailed list …"
With the A.I. Chip's projection in the depths of his mind, a list of 63 items to advance to rank 3 slowly unfolded.
Grimm scanned the list and discovered the names of many rare fire elemental materials, many of which were similar to the Flame Essence.
With the Magus World's wealth of plundering countless secondary planes, any kind of resource could be bought. The only difference was the amount of magic crystals needed.
Grimm made a simple calculation. He only needed about 1,400,000 magic crystals to make up for the missing resources and materials.
What really gave him a headache was the lack of knowledge.
Most large Magus families and organisations treated high-ranked knowledge as their most important assets, and kept it a secret. They might exchange a few resources, but they were very secretive about the knowledge they possessed. Without signing the necessary contracts, there was no way he could come into contact with such knowledge.
Grimm had been slaughtering his way through the years, and the resources he had plundered could be said to be overflowing with oil. However, he had never made any progress in plundering knowledge. The knowledge that the A.I. Chip had listed were all high-ranked knowledge. Unless Grimm was willing to abandon the Crimson Family and join a large Magus organisation, there was no way he could come into contact with such knowledge.
Faced with such a problem, Grimm's first thought was of Alice, who was far away in the north.
Grimm quickly contacted Alice through the long-distance communication between the two Wizard's Pagodas.
After listening to Grimm's list of knowledge, Alice could not help but furrow her brows.
"The Tower of Destiny's library does have advanced applications of spiritual power and advanced characteristics of fire elements, but I don't have any recollection of the other two. After all, the Tower of Destiny has been silent for over a thousand years, and the internal resources and knowledge reserves are severely lacking. If you want to obtain the remaining two types of knowledge, you might really have to deal with those witch leaders! "
After saying that, Alice thought for a moment and said.
"I'll think of something for you! He might even be able to gain something from the Witch of Death. Just wait for my news! "
Immediately after, the long-distance connection with Alice was directly cut off.
Although Grim's heart was burning with passion, he knew that this kind of thing could not be rushed.
Moreover, his Spiritual Power was only at 28 points, which was 1 point away from the peak of 29 points. Don't underestimate this small gap. With Grim's current speed of meditation and mental strength, it would be impossible for him to achieve this without a few years of effort.
Thus, after entrusting the task of finding the advanced knowledge to Alice, Grimm placed more attention on the creation of the remaining three pieces of the Blazing Flame Monarch.
After plundering the level 4 giant dragon's nest, he had gathered most of the main materials needed to create the Blazing Flame Monarch. He had also gathered most of the remaining consumable materials through the Gnome Kabi. Thus, Grimm took this rare opportunity to stay in the Wizard's Pagoda and silently prepare for the third piece of the set.
For the third piece, Grimm chose the core component of the Blazing Flame Monarch — the Burning Corona.
Moreover, the Flame Barrier of the Burning Corona could be fused with Grimm's own Flame Barrier, increasing the level of the damage of the flames. This was extremely beneficial to Grimm's large-scale control of the battlefield!
Having experienced the creation of so many Magic Puppets, it was of great help to Grimm in creating Wizard Weapons. With the help of the A.I. Chip, the chances of failure were unbelievably low!
In just 37 days, Grimm successfully created the third piece of the Blazing Flame Monarch set that belonged solely to him.
From its appearance, the crown looked like a ball of slowly flowing flames.
It was forged from Fire Essence Iron into the shape of a crown, with strange metallic threads intertwining around it to form densely packed fire runes. The Fire Essence Diamond embedded in the crown was not only as beautiful as a dream, but also had the miraculous effect of increasing the power of Fire Spells.
When Grimm wore the Burning Corona on his head, the three pieces of the set immediately resonated with his soul, and a faint red halo appeared on the surface of his body.
Not only could this halo increase Grimm's resistance to fire, it could also be ejected from his body like a Flame Barrier, forming a giant membrane of light that was a hundred metres in diameter. Any life or matter that was caught in the membrane would have to bear the damage of the magic flames at all times.
Grimm closed his eyes and made some calculations. After the Flame Barrier of the Burning Corona fused with the Flame Barrier he had cast, the damage of the magic flames would be increased to 115 points per second. Grimm had only reached this level of damage when he was at the Intermediate Grade 1 Magus.
However, a Intermediate Grade 1 Magus would need 3 to 5 seconds to cast a spell that dealt 115 points of damage. Grimm's Flame Barrier, on the other hand, covered all his enemies passively. He could also cast spells while the Flame Barrier burned his enemies.
This meant that any enemy that entered Grimm's Flame Barrier would have to bear the continuous attacks of a Intermediate Grade 1 Magus at all times. If the enemy's defensive spells could not withstand such powerful attacks, Grimm would not even need to take action. The enemy would be burnt into a pile of charcoal by the magic flames.
In the future, if he was surrounded by a large group of Intermediate Grade 1 Magi, Grimm only needed to use Flame Leap to rush into the crowd and activate the Flame Barrier. In less than 5 seconds, the entire world would be peaceful!
After activating the third piece of the Blazing Flame Monarch set, Grimm obtained a new set ability.
The spiritual force consumption of fire spells was halved.
This was also a very practical combat ability. It could double Grimm's firepower on the battlefield, and it could also be used on Elemental Puppets.
This also meant that Grimm's current spiritual force could support two Intermediate Grade 2 Magic Puppets at the same time in a battle. If he added himself into the mix, it would be equivalent to three Peak Grade 2 Fire Creatures appearing on the battlefield at the same time.
Among Intermediate Grade 2 Magi of the same level, who could withstand the attacks of three terrifying Flame Demons at the same time?
Grimm couldn't hold back his excitement when he thought of the tragic scene of fireballs and lava bursting.
Fire Magi would always be the focus of attention on the battlefield!
Only on the battlefield would they be able to unleash their destructive might!
Perhaps it was due to the butterfly effect, but just as Grimm was fantasizing about his majestic figure on the battlefield, Alice personally brought two books to the Blazing Flame Monarch's Wizard's Pagoda, bringing him a piece of shocking news.
In consideration of their previous good cooperation, the leader of the Witches of Death, Cthuna, had agreed to Alice's request and lent Grimm the two knowledge that he urgently needed to advance. However, in return, Alice had to participate in the declaration of war issued by the Witches of Death.
Declaration of war?
Seeing that Grimm was confused, Alice had no choice but to patiently explain.
Not long ago, a secondary plane occupied by the Witches of Death had been attacked by the Beast Gods of the World of Gods. The entire plane had been destroyed, and even the Intermediate Grade 3 Witch stationed there had not been able to escape in time. She had died at the hands of the invading Beast Gods.
This was undoubtedly a declaration of war for the Witches of Death.
Hence, the leader of the Witches of Death, Cthuna, sternly issued a declaration of war at the Witch Council, threatening to take revenge on the Beast Gods. She also called on the other Witch Factions to send troops to fight alongside her.
It was under such circumstances that Cthuna had agreed to Alice's request. However, she had also requested that Alice actively respond to her declaration of war.
This also meant that Alice had to organize a sufficiently powerful expeditionary force to follow the Witches of Death into another world and fight for the glory and dignity of the Witches of the North!
The Witches of Destiny led by Alice had just gone through a cruel bloody battle in the Faern Plane, and the number of official Witches had been reduced to four. Without a few decades of recuperation, it would be difficult for them to recover to their original numbers.
With such a number of Witches, it would be difficult for them to carry out many internal Witchcraft activities, let alone fight in another world. Hence, if Grimm wanted to obtain the remaining two knowledge, he could only build a powerful combat force and use the name of the Witches of Destiny to participate in the Witches of Death's expedition to another world.
Grimm was silent.
After thinking for a full three days and weighing the pros and cons of various information, Grimm finally decided to participate in the Witches of Death's expedition to another world. Grimm had also put in a lot of effort in choosing the members to participate in this war.
Now that the Crimson Family was on the rise, they had spread their influence to the scattered Forest of Towers and the north. They needed high-ranked Magi to be stationed everywhere. It was impossible for Grimm to summon all the powerful wizards in the family like he did before.
If he did this, the Blazing Flame Monarch and the White Tower would most likely be invaded by unknown enemies while the Crimson Family's strength was lacking.
