The first time, Grimm was defeated by a terrifying Magus rank flower sprite without any Fallen Acolytes chasing after him, forcing him to flee the forest in a sorry state.
The terrifying Flower Sprite was obviously a regional monster with a strong sense of territory. Once they left the demonized forest, it would not chase after them. That was how Grimm managed to protect the three Rock Python Demon Manticores, preventing them from suffering irreparable losses.
Glancing back at the lush forest, Grim's eyes twitched. He ordered the A.I. Chip in a low voice, "A.I. Chip, immediately create a mission file on the Demonic Flower Sprite, and find a way to defeat or kill it!"
[Beep. Mission accepted … Mission file name: Flower Sprite … Feasibility plan in progress …]
[Estimated attack strategies that can deal substantial damage to the flower sprite include: 1. Curse spells. 2. Attack in a team. 3. Activate the Lightning Giant plan. 4. Destroy the flower sprite's main body.]
Grimm knitted his brows and ordered in a soft voice, "Explain to me, how practical are these strategies?"
[Beep. First, curse spells. The target, the Flower Demon, was still a living being. Witchcraft curses could reduce part of its combat ability, which would give the Devil Python more time to break through its defenses.
Second, attack in a team. With the current strength of the team, it was impossible for them to take down this Wizard-ranked Flower Spirit. If they wanted to defeat it, they would need to have enough team members to work together and fight against it. Estimated battle strategies are as follows …
Third, activate the Lightning Giant plan. In order to prevent the flower sprite from escaping the rock python manticores' attacks, the team must stay close to it. The team members who can achieve this include: Blood Queen Mary and the Lightning Giant. If the Blood Queen Mary is chosen, the chances of her dying is over 89%, so the Lightning Giant is recommended.
Fourth, destroy the flower sprite's main body. This time, the flower sprite is only a host, and its main body has yet to appear. According to the analysis of the characteristics of this type of monster, as long as we can find the flower sprite's main body, it will lose the energy from the main body, and its battle strength will be greatly reduced. "
Grimm closed his eyes and listened attentively. After thinking for a while, he asked all sorts of questions.
"How far have you progressed with the Lightning Giant Project? How much longer will it take to complete? "
"Beep, the design of the Lightning Giant has been completed, but we still lack the necessary magic materials."
"What else is lacking?"
"Five high-grade wind elemental crystal cores!"
"How powerful will the completed Lightning Giant be?"
"According to the level of sorcerer-apprentices I've met in the past, the completed lightning giant will have the basic strength of a mid-level Quasi-Wizard."
"Compared to that Ah Fu?"
"According to the basic data, the lightning giant's completed body fought against Ah Fu 100 times. It lost 73 times, was heavily injured 11 times, and drew 16 times. Based on my initial estimations, the Lightning Giant's complete form can only move around and maintain a suitable attack distance from Ah Fu. Only by using continuous lightning attacks can it possibly deal appropriate damage to the enemy. "
"That means he can't beat a top-level Quasi Magus!" Grim pondered for a moment, silently recalling Fu's brief attack.
Although the battle was very short, with the A.I. Chip's recording, Grimm could clearly feel Fu's terrifying battle prowess. An extremely powerful physique and a violent and ferocious physical strength. These two traits bestowed Fu with an unparalleled mystical power.
With just one strike, he had easily broken through the Demonic Rock Python's basic defense and transmitted a violent and unparalleled power into the Demonic Rock Python's body. If not for that, he would not have been able to destroy the rock python's body with a single punch and directly capture the summoning crystal core.
To be honest, although the Sorcerer Flower Spirit was marked as a Sorcerer after scanning, Grimm wasn't sure if the Flower Spirit would be able to maintain its overwhelming power if it were to fight against Afola.
If there was a meat shield like Ah Fu at the front and four or five quasi sorcerer-apprentices at the back, the chances of winning this battle could still be maintained at 20% -30%. Of course, if Grimm also sent his three rock pythons, the chances of winning would directly increase to 50% -60%.
Therefore, the key to the battle was to effectively deal enough damage to the flower spirit. Otherwise, with just the three rock pythons, they would be easily torn into pieces.
To increase the battle strength of the team, it was not impossible to ask Fu and the others for help, but that would mean giving away most of the loot. According to Kabi's simple description, there were a few magic treasures that Grimm was determined to obtain. Therefore, after thinking about it, he felt that he could only rely on his own strength.
Since he could not ask Fu for help, he could only find something to temporarily replace him.
The Lightning Giant plan was a plan that Grimm had tailor-made to strengthen the summoning crystal core after obtaining the core of the Storm Giant.
Due to the limited amount of spell formations that could be stored in a single elemental crystal core, it was impossible to add powerful spell formations to it without limit. Therefore, the magic puppets made from quasi sorcerer crystal cores were a little weak. They could be used to bully lower-ranked opponents, but once they met an opponent of the same rank, they would not be able to display their full strength.
Because of this, under Grimm's suggestion, the A.I. Chip strengthened the process of creating magic puppets in a different way. It tried to transfer the spell formations that had previously been etched on a crystal core to another crystal core. When the time came, only one core crystal core would be needed to bear the weight of the main body of the magic puppet, while the other crystal cores would share energy and spell formations to form the key nodes of the new magic puppet.
This way, it would be possible to maximize the use of the spell formation space of each crystal core and carve enough strengthening spell formations on them to create an even more powerful elemental magic puppet.
Of course, this way, each crystal core would not be able to summon a magic puppet on its own. The core of a quasi sorcerer Storm Giant and 6 high-grade wind elemental crystal cores would each have their own functions. The combination of crystal cores and three-dimensional spell formations would be used to construct the Lightning Giant.
However, although this plan had been proposed for half a month, the A.I. Chip had been busy calculating the distribution and connection of the spell formations between the crystal core and the branch nodes, and had not submitted a clear design. Since the A.I. Chip had added this line today, it meant that its calculations had come to an end. The design for the Lightning Giant had been released.
After all, this was not a place to stay for long. So, Grimm rested for a while and hurriedly set off on his way back. When he was about to leave, some blind gnolls intercepted him. Grimm, who had been holding back his anger, commanded three rock pythons to smash the gnolls' nest into pieces.
Facing three super monsters that were almost invulnerable to weapons, the gnolls' crossbows, daggers, and short spears were completely useless. If not for Grimm's unwillingness to fight, the famous Gray Ear tribe would have lost 30% of its members in just one wave of attacks.
Therefore, when the two Quasi Sorcerers from Blissful City, Langdon and Felix, arrived in a hurry, what they saw was the Gray Ear Tribe and the Lizardmen Tribe that had been wiped out. Grim had already left.
Listening to the gnoll leader's blood-sobbing story, Langdon, who had a gloomy expression, could not care less about what was going on. Instead, he focused his attention on the magical jungle.
There were many strange rumors about that place in Blissful City. His mentor, Blacklight, had also warned him not to have any ideas about the treasures in the abandoned ruins. It seemed that there was something hidden in there. That was why he only knew a little about the magical jungle. He had not explored it in depth.
"Have you entered the magical jungle before? What's inside? "Langdon impatiently interrupted the gnoll leader's crying and asked coldly.
He was not a fool.
Although many adult warriors of that exterminated lizardmen tribe died from elemental attacks, which reminded him of that bastard's clay puppets, the rest of them died from close-range sharp weapons. Besides, he did not believe that the boy from the surface would have the patience to go deep into the lizardmen's nest and slaughter the women and children one by one.
This was the closest place to the magical jungle. It was very beneficial for the underground races to control the magical materials there. Therefore, it was obvious what role the gnolls played in the extinction of the lizardmen.
But at this time, Langdon was not interested in upholding justice. He was only interested in what that bastard had done in the magical jungle.
Did that guy accidentally stumble into this place? Or did he have some other purpose in exploring?
With this question in mind, Langdon invited Felix to search the magical jungle together. Thus, the two self-confident fallen Quasi Witches entered the Magic Forest. But in less than half an hour, the two escaped from the inside in a sorry state.
While escaping, the two of them were riddled with bloody holes caused by light arrows, and the flowing blood was dyed green by the strange and troublesome foreign energy. Along the way, the two of them had clearly been attacked by many low-tier magical beasts, and there were many claw marks on their bodies.
Felix left a teleportation mark at the edge of the jungle, and then the two hurried back to Blissful City.
Obviously, they had found some clues in the magical jungle. Inferring from these clues, they concluded that the bastard went straight to the wizard tower ruins in the depths of the jungle. And the other party's goal was clear. Obviously, they would not retreat just because of a scary wizard monster guarding the place.
So the two deduced that the boy most likely retreated and went back to get reinforcements.
The reason why they left a teleportation mark was to catch them off guard when the other party returned to the jungle. If they could block their retreat in time, with the number of fallen apprentices and the terrifying monster in the magical jungle, they might be able to wipe out the entire surface team in one fell swoop.
