Eye devils were evil and twisted creatures.
They had powerful mental abilities and were adept at using mental spells to control intelligent creatures to become their slaves. The many eye stalks on their bodies could shoot out magical rays of different attributes. Not only were they powerful, but they were also instantaneous.
The strange meatball body of the eye devil had an anti-gravity field, so it could easily float in the air. The single eye in the middle of its meatball body could also shoot out a "Light of Temptation" that could instantly control the enemy's body.
Thus, a powerful eye devil would often enslave hundreds or even thousands of slaves to create a safe nest for itself. It would become the ruler of this nest, controlling the life and death of every subordinate or slave.
Seeing the Grade 3 eye devil appear, the few Grade 2 Crimson Magi immediately retreated into the walled city and started discussing nervously.
If it was just a normal Grade 3 monster, they might be able to stop it if they worked together.
However, against a terrifying Grade 3 eye devil, all the Crimson Magi lost their confidence in victory.
Among all the Grade 2 Magi, Tigole's voice was the loudest.
"Zacha, before we came, Meryl told us that you're the leader here. Tell me, how are we going to fight this battle? You won't be so stupid as to fight that Grade 3 eye devil with your Grade 2 body, will you? That's a Grade 3 eye devil we're talking about! I'm afraid you'll be bewitched the moment you get close to it and become its new slave … "
It was no wonder that the goblin Tigole was so afraid of the eye devil.
The goblin race did not specialize in mental strength. Among all the Grade 2 Magi present, only the goblin Tigole was a Grade 1 Magus who could use a magical machine to fight. Thus, he was terrified of the opponent's mental ability.
Although the Goblin Ripper's Physical Defense was shockingly high, and its Magic Resistance was also very good, it could not defend against this kind of invisible mental ability.
He and Dragonman Zacha were all brawn and did not have high mental resistance. Once they got close to the eye devil, they would be courting death. The opponent only needed to order them to commit suicide, and they would be killed without a drop of blood.
When the eye devil slowly entered the battlefield with a terrifying aura, the atmosphere in the walled city became stagnant.
The citizens and Gnomes in the stronghold became restless.
If the situation became critical, the Sorcerers would have the means to escape from here. What would be left of them, a group of ordinary people and a group of Sorcerer-Apprentices with insufficient strength, be able to resist the attack of the beast horde?
Just when everyone's hearts were wavering and everyone was panicking, the dragonman Zacha's deep and powerful voice suddenly rang in his ears.
"Zacha, help me locate him. I'm going to teleport over!"
It was Grimm … Lord Patriarch!
A hint of joy immediately appeared on Dragonman Zacha's broad indigo-colored face.
It roared and took a step forward. It pulled down a round metal plate from its neck and held it in its hand. It gathered the violent power of lightning and poured it into it.
As the metal plate absorbed the lightning energy, it became brighter and brighter, almost instantly turning crimson and searing, sizzling the flesh on the Drakonid's hands. Be that as it may, the Drakonid did not toss it away. Instead, he clasped it tightly in his hand and held it before him.
After a while, a mysterious light formation emerged from the metal plate and shook the void in its own way.
Flame Teleportation Rune!
The Grade 2 members of the Crimson Family were not ignorant low-ranked Sorcerers. They instantly recognized the essence of this strange light formation. And when it appeared, it usually meant that …
Just as these thoughts appeared in everyone's minds, the light formation lit up the sky. A hazy, illusory figure appeared out of thin air and quickly solidified.
It was the Lord Patriarch!
Deafening cheers erupted from within the walled city.
The beast horde outside the walled city suddenly stopped in their tracks, hesitating and fearful as they sensed a murderous aura rushing towards them. At the same time, the Tier 3 Eye Demon stopped in its tracks and stared at the figure that instilled unease in its heart.
Flame Teleportation!
This was a fire spell that Grimm had learned after advancing to Grade 3.
Low-ranked Flame Leap could only be used within a visual range, and the furthest it could reach was 400 meters. Flame Teleportation, on the other hand, was much further. As long as a Flame Teleportation Rune was set up within 200 miles, Grimm could use his powerful flames to teleport there.
When Meryl chose Doflan Basin as the battlefield, she had already considered this point.
Hence, Grimm, who had been guarding the White Tower, did not hesitate to teleport over the moment he received news of the situation at the frontlines.
He was not worried about meeting an opponent that was too strong.
After all, the initiative in this war had always been in Meryl's hands.
Meryl, who was bold and cautious, had already figured out the strength and distribution of the demon lords in the area before the beast horde broke out. The existence of this Grade 3 Eye Devil was a surprise to the low-ranked Sorcerers and commoners, but not to the higher-ups of the Crimson Family.
The main reason why Dragonman Zacha was chosen as the commander-in-chief of this battle was that he used to be Grimm's soul slave and had always been loyal and devoted to him. Hence, the Flame Teleportation Rune used for positioning was entrusted to him.
And it did not fail to live up to its expectations. It successfully led Grimm over!
… …
The flames in front of him finally dissipated.
Grimm's field of vision was once again bright.
A huge spiritual force instantly enveloped the entire Doflan Basin, allowing Grimm to instantly grasp the situation. As expected, his spiritual force clashed with Eye Devil's sinister and cold spiritual force.
Grimm raised his head. Separated by a high wall, more than 3000 meters, and countless strange beasts, his spiritual force collided with Eye Devil's single eye.
Crimson flames immediately rose from Grimm's huge body. However, the flames seemed to be wrapped in a layer of greenish-white evil will, causing him to shiver slightly.
The surface of Eye Devil's meatball floating in the air was inexplicably scorched. Numerous snake-like tentacles shot out colorful magic rays that struck Grimm's body, dispersing the strange magical flames.
Grimm frowned slightly and increased the output of his fire energy. Only then did he use the high temperature characteristic of the Domain of Combustion to completely dispel the evil will.
Both sides had only clashed across the air, but they had already deeply understood each other's strength. Their expressions could not help but stiffen.
If Grimm only had these tricks up his sleeves, it would be hard to predict who would emerge victorious in a fight to the death with Eye Devil. However, Grimm had now consolidated his spiritual force and possessed several powerful trump cards. Why would he be afraid of a Tier 3 Eye Devil?
Under the admiring gazes of the crowd, Grimm laughed loudly and strode towards Eye Devil.
As he advanced, Grimm quickly armed himself.
The Burning Corona Magic Crown, the Flame Emblem Bracelet, the Fearless Belt, the Boots of Ash, and the Pendant of Fire Dragon's Breath released a surging flame aura at the same time. The flame aura merged with Grimm's soul aura, forming a vast and strange red barrier around his body.
As Grimm advanced, the Flame Barrier quickly enveloped the many beasts and ferocious birds around the stronghold.
After reaching Tier 3, the Flame Barrier had been upgraded to Domain of Combustion, and the magic damage it brought was astonishing. The moment the Domain of Combustion, which had a 500-meter radius, appeared, it brought a devastating disaster to the beast horde.
Before all the wild beasts and vicious birds covered by the red barrier could even turn around and escape the range of the barrier, an incomparably violent flame energy gushed out of their facial features and pores, instantly burning them into a pile of charcoal.
Ordinary beasts and ferocious birds did not have any magic resistance. They could not even withstand a flick of Grimm's finger before turning into ashes. On the other hand, the powerful monsters were only slightly better off, holding on for 3-5 seconds before dying in agony.
Only the Tier 1 and Tier 2 monsters that were lucky enough to be at the edge of the Domain of Combustion managed to survive.
Faced with such a terrifying human-shaped volcano, the beast horde that had been advancing bravely a moment ago instantly fell into chaos. They all fled for their lives, leaving the battlefield at the center of the valley to the two Tier 3 powerhouses.
Eye Devil could not help but lash out at Grimm's terrifying aura. She could not help but feel frustrated as she whipped her snake-shaped eye stalk. Colorful magic barriers quickly appeared on her body.
This powerful human Sorcerer seemed to be an Elemental Sorcerer that specialized in fire.
Such a Sorcerer's fire spells might be powerful, but their bodies were far weaker than a Tier 3 monster's. Thus, deep in her heart, the Tier 3 Eye Devil quickly prepared to engage in close combat with the human Sorcerer.
However, before she could carry out her plan, a strange change occurred to the human Sorcerer.
A strange puppet the size of a palm suddenly appeared on Grimm's shoulder. Its body was covered in strange magic runes, and a pale green aura of poison lingered around its body, making its petite body look extremely demonic.
The appearance of the Plague Poison Spirit also added another fire poison effect to Grimm's Domain of Combustion.
That was not the end.
Grimm waved his hand, and a two-meter-tall, metallic Elemental Magic Machine appeared in front of everyone.
Everyone could see the iconic metallic shell of the Elemental Magic Machine on its body, and they could also feel the strange elemental fluctuations of the Elemental Puppet. As Grimm placed a miniature version of the Magic Furnace into the body of the Elemental Magic Equipment, its strength underwent an earth-shattering change.
The Elemental Magic Machine's sturdy chest seemed to have a miniature sun stuffed inside it, and it was currently spewing out scarlet flames and scorching heat waves. An incomparably violent wave of pure magic energy flowed out of the Magic Furnace, illuminating the Elemental Magic Machine's entire body layer by layer.
The Magic Iron Alloy body that was already glowing with a faint blue luster began to heat up under the powerful magic energy, turning the Elemental Magic Machine into a giant flaming man that no one dared to approach.
