Three days later.
The public arena of Leon's Wizard Pagoda.
News of the duel between the Camara Family and the Crimson Family had spread like wildfire in Leon's Wizard Pagoda. It had become the hottest topic of conversation for everyone.
As the internal information of the two families was revealed, more and more people began to understand the inside story of the duel.
The Kamala family had a powerful rank 3 Magus!
Yurga the Crow of Death … This terrifying name could even stop children from crying at night in the central continent and make Wizards shrink back at the sight of him.
Yurga's strength was not the strongest among the Tier 3 Wizards in the central continent, but with his terrifying Death Ray, other Tier 3 Wizards would not dare to provoke him.
Once the Death Ray's "Death Gaze" effect was triggered, Yurga would be able to kill anyone who stood in his way. He would look like an elite Tier 3 Wizard!
On the other hand, the Crimson Family was a new Wizard Family that had just risen. There were no Tier 3 Wizards registered in the Wizard Association. This meant that the Crimson Family would be forced to fight Yurga with a Tier 2 Wizard.
A Tier 2 against a Tier 3 … Was there any meaning to such a duel?
Perhaps the Crimson Family would just admit defeat and fork out a large amount of magic crystals to compensate the other party's losses. Or they could send out the Insect Lich, Bliss, and end this meaningless "farce" with the deaths of his subordinates!
The Crimson Family had been treated unfairly, but no Magus would complain about it.
The hard power of a family was a part of the family's strength, but so was the soft power of a family.
Ever since the Crimson Family was established, they had always dealt with everything head-on. They had never tried to curry favor with the scattered Tower Forest Association. Now that they had suffered a loss, it was not out of the expectations of the Wizards.
In the central continent, other than working hard to increase their strength, a Wizard Family also needed to maintain a good relationship with the Association. It would be best if they could find one or two Association Elders to represent the family's interests. Only then could they ensure the smooth development and expansion of the family.
The leader of the Crimson Family was a hothead. Not only did he not find any backing for himself, he had more or less offended the Association Elders.
The so-called Elders of the Association were all Tier 4 powerhouses. Naturally, they would not make things difficult for a Tier 2 Sorcerer. However, many unexpected troubles of various sizes had come to bother the Crimson Family, causing them to be exhausted from dealing with them.
At the appointed time, both sides finally gathered in the Public Arena again.
The spectator stands around the arena were densely packed with Magi and acolytes who had come to watch the battle.
Wizard Lauren was the representative of the association's disciplinary department. He took the lead and announced the reason for this duel in a loud voice. Afterward, he turned his gaze towards the two dueling parties.
"Yurga, you're the only one from the Camara Family. Are you going to represent the Camara Family in the war?"
"Yes!"
With a reply, Yurga's black robe shook, and his entire body exploded into a cloud of black smoke. He floated to the side of the arena and reformed his body.
"Grimm, who does the Crimson Family plan to send?" Wizard Laurian asked loudly.
Behind Grimm, the Bug Lich Bliss' body trembled slightly. He could not help but raise his head and stare calmly at the expressionless Grimm.
When Grimm's gaze met with Bliss', the Bug Lich could not help but lower his head in fear. On the contrary, it was Mary who passionately responded to Grimm's gaze. She was eager to give it a try.
"I … The one representing the Crimson Family will be … me!"
But what surprised everyone was that the young and robust patriarch of the Crimson Family loudly accepted the mission of death and walked into the arena with large strides.
"No … Grimm, you can't do it yourself …" Grimm's sudden action was clearly out of Mary's expectations. Her face turned red as she rushed towards Grimm without a care for her own safety.
Unfortunately, her body crashed into an invisible barrier that rose up and was isolated outside the arena. No matter how she attacked and scratched, the blood-colored energy could not even scratch a hole in the solid and dense protective barrier. Instead, under the surging energy, Mary's nails broke, and blood flowed everywhere.
Bug Lich Bliss was stunned on the spot.
To be honest, he would not have guessed that this would happen even if he had ten more guesses.
It was impossible for a Grade 2 Magus to win against a Grade 3 Magus. Instead, it would be the Magus who was fighting that had a slim chance of survival!
With the enmity between the two families, Magus Yurga would definitely not show mercy to the Crimson Family Magus. Magus Yurga would definitely do his best to kill his opponent openly and obtain victory in the family war.
Leaving Mary and Bliss behind, Grimm strode to the side of the arena and faced Magus Yurga from afar.
"It's you?!" Yurga's skinny face was also filled with shock.
Of course, he was not afraid of Grimm. It was just that … he could not guess the reason for Grimm's actions.
Could it be that Grimm was not afraid of death, or that the reputation of the Crow of Death was so weak that it could not be ignored?
Yurga sneered. His whole body slowly floated ten meters above the ground. His pair of scarlet eyes had become even redder.
"Good … Very good … Then let us settle the conflict between our families here!"
With that, Yurga's body exploded again, and the entire left side of the arena was shrouded in a thick, inky black fog. The black fog rumbled, and it was impossible to see what was inside. One could only hear the ear-piercing cawing of a flock of crows, as if the black fog had become the territory of a large group of Crows of Death.
The battle had not even begun, but the aura of this Grade 3 Magus was already so overbearing, as if he was going to crush Grimm!
"Little fellow, you are very courageous, but this decision is not very wise. Now, I will give you one more minute to prepare. After that, I will announce the start of the duel! "Wizard Laurian's voice resounded in the arena. It was obvious that he was not optimistic about Grimm's chances.
Grimm's expression turned solemn. He took a deep breath and threw out two Magic Puppet Crystal Cores in succession. As they roared and transformed into two terrifying six-meter-tall Flame Demons, Grimm also began his transformation.
First transformation … Flame Body!
Raging elemental flames spewed out from every pore on Grimm's body, forming a fiery pillar that spiraled around him. Grimm also quickly transformed from a body of flesh and blood to a body of fire elemental flames. His entire body swelled to a height of four meters.
Second transformation, Flame Demon Body!
Grimm opened his mouth and roared loudly.
As the elemental attributes of his torso changed, his body of fire transformed from a pure illusory body into a gigantic Balrog composed of lava, flint, and boiling magma. His entire body swelled again, reaching a height of more than six meters.
For a moment, three terrifying Flame Demons that were over six meters tall stood together in a triangular formation, turning one side of the arena into a huge sea of flames that surged into the sky.
And this was not the end.
Several elemental halos flashed on Grimm's body, and a strange, translucent barrier shot out, forming a terrifying burning domain around the three Flame Demons. In an instant, the three Flame Demons disappeared in the huge sea of flames, and it was hard to find any trace of them.
A sea of flames against a black mist. Although the barrier in the middle of the arena had not been removed, the terrifying might of both sides was already locked in a stalemate.
Damn, is this a level that a Rank 2 Magus can achieve???
Many wizards sitting in the arena couldn't help but be dumbfounded as they discussed among themselves.
Although the elemental vibration from Wizard Yurga's side was a little stronger, it seemed like they were evenly matched. It was hard to tell who was stronger. After all, Wizard Yurga was also known for his strangeness and viciousness. In terms of creating a situation, it was hard to compare with the "Fire Wizard" on the battlefield.
"Time's up … I hereby announce the start of the duel!"
Following Wizard Lauren's announcement, the barrier in the middle of the arena disappeared without a sound.
In the next moment, the rolling black mist and the raging flames collided with each other, producing a strange sound that made people's teeth ache and legs go weak. Within the black mist, countless Death Announcing Ravens flapped their black wings and rushed into the sea of flames, quickly extinguishing a large area of flames. At the same time, the sea of flames surged forward with a terrifying momentum, burning the Death Announcing Ravens into ashes one after another. The Death Announcing Ravens exploded into a sky full of black mist.
Yurga was hidden in the black mist. His enormous power of the will turned into countless silk-like spiritual tentacles, reaching into the depths of the sea of flames. As long as he could find Grimm's trail, with the spiritual pressure of a rank 3 wizard and the death rays of the Death Announcing Ravens, he would be able to crush his opponent in an instant.
Even a lion had to give its all to catch a rabbit!
The humiliation that the Camara family had suffered previously required a hearty victory to wash away. Therefore, Yurga would not give that young wizard any chance to stall for time or admit defeat after a short confrontation.
However, what surprised Yurga was that as the strange flame barrier expanded, it quickly enveloped the huge arena that was two miles wide. In the midst of the flames, Yurga also sensed another strange magical force.
The elemental energy in Yurga's body suddenly lost its original vitality and became a little sluggish. His opponent's sea of flames did not seem to be affected at all. Instead, it became even more intense, and the flames became fiercer.
An elemental barrier?
Yurga's thin face was immediately covered with a layer of gloom.
