Deep into the night.
Under the starless night sky, the Cedrac Mountains seemed especially quiet, almost deathly still.
It had only been three days, but Grimm and Catie's unbridled battle had already gone on for nine rounds. They had also created nine regions of death in the Cedrac Mountains that had lost all life.
Though the beasts and magical creatures in the Cedrac Mountains did not have much intelligence, under the threat of death, they had become more cautious and sensitive. As long as the two Magi set foot in a certain forest, a natural disaster of beasts would quickly erupt there.
Be it beasts, birds, or even powerful magical creatures, they would all scramble to escape the area, not daring to stay near the two Magi for even a moment.
As time passed, the two Magi's analysis of the laws of the Envik Plane grew deeper and deeper. The power they could unleash increased, and the damage they caused to the surrounding environment grew more terrifying.
In one battle, Grimm's Flame Gate summoned hundreds and thousands of powerful Flame Creatures, turning a valley deep in the mountains into a world of flowing lava. It was the end of the world.
Combined with the special geographical environment, the Flaming Gate would most likely be preserved for many years. The flaming creatures that used the Flaming Gate to pass through the valley would become the guardians of the area, preventing other creatures from getting close.
The two Magi who had created this natural disaster did not seem to care about the great damage their reckless actions had caused to the Cedrac Mountains. They were still immersed in the battle.
They fought and killed in the day, and there was no peace at night. Both sides would always come up with all sorts of sinister and despicable methods to assassinate and ambush each other. It was a pity that all their methods had failed so far.
Neither side could end the battle quickly, and could only turn it into a tug of war.
Both sides were suffering unspeakably!
When night fell, Grimm lit a bonfire at the foot of a snowy peak.
Above the bonfire, a thorny boar that accidentally bumped into him became his meal for the night.
The process of dehairing, disemboweling, cleaning, applying sauce, and smoking the meat on a wooden stick were all done by Grim himself. With the help of the A.I. Chip, Grim could pull up a hundred and eighty recipes for roasting, boiling, and frying wild boar meat at any time, turning himself into a peerless chef. He could cook this wild boar into a mouth-watering delicacy.
Grimm gently stirred the wild boar chop on the wooden rack while brushing layer after layer of thick, sticky, and sweet sauce on it. When he raised his head to look at another fire in the distance, his face was filled with unconcealable schadenfreude.
Unlike Grim's leisurely mood, a bonfire was burning on the summit of another mountain ten miles away.
Unfortunately, Katy wasn't roasting wild boar or mountain wolf meat on the bonfire, but snake meat instead. Judging from the colorful scales on the snake meat, it was obvious that the snakes Katie had roasted were venomous.
It wasn't that Katie didn't like wild boar meat or mountain wolf meat, but that she couldn't find any.
Although the Tyrannosaurus King Mosh's excrement on her body had been washed clean, the stench lingered for a long time. As a result, Catie was unable to find any large creatures within a five-kilometer radius around her.
Without large creatures, she couldn't replenish her food. Although Katie had brought some nutrient potions with her, they could only maintain her basic stamina. They couldn't help her recover her energy quickly.
Compared to regular humans, Magi were powerful, but they needed to replenish their energy through large amounts of food. Therefore, although Katy looked like a little girl next door, her appetite was greater than that of ten strong men.
These days, Katy had not been able to find enough meat, so she had devoured almost all the snakes and gophers wherever she went.
She wasn't an Elemental Magus, so she could recover her elemental energy through meditation and sleep. She was a Mechanic Magus, and all her energy came from her vitality. The recovery of her vitality could not be separated from the replenishment of magical energy, food, and good sleep.
Hence, ever since she entered the Envic Plane, her own energy reserves had been constantly decreasing. Moreover, she had suffered a lot from the constant battle with that despicable wizard.
After swallowing a few half-burnt poisonous snakes, the burning hunger in her stomach was slightly alleviated. Only then did Catie spare some time to repair the few magic tools that she had been carrying around with her.
She took out some spare metal blades from her Storage Ring and replaced the ones that had been tortured by her legs during the day. With the help of the flickering bonfire, Katy took out some magic materials and slowly repaired the damaged parts and body.
To be honest, under the pitch-black night sky, beside the flickering bonfire, watching a petite and beautiful girl take off a certain part of her body, clean, maintain, and then carefully put it back, as if she was dismantling a spare part of her body.
Such a scene was simply hair-raising!
Grimm, on the other hand, devoured the delicious food in big mouthfuls. He used the Wind Spirit he sent out to observe the powerful Mechanic Magus.
She was definitely not the current Northern Witch!
At the very least, Grimm had never heard of such a Mechanic Magus in the north.
However, she had the distinct aura of the Magus World on her.
Hence, Grimm deduced that she was most likely a Magus stationed by the Northern Witches in a secondary dimension. Moreover, they were the kind that were specially trained to be proficient in killing and assassination.
In truth, if Grimm was just a little more ordinary, the strength of this Mechanic Magus would be enough to destroy him to the point that not even a speck of dust would remain. However, with the progress of the analysis of the plane, Grimm's battle prowess had increased.
Finally, after a clear beep, Grimm heard the A.I. Chip's prompt that he had been waiting for in a long time.
[Beep. Analysis of the plane completed. Progress: 100% … Host's basic strength has been restored. Maximum strength is 78% of the Magus World's …]
Grimm was no longer interested in listening to the A.I. Chip's prompts. Although he had not unlocked 80% of his strength, 78% was enough for him to fight to his heart's content.
In the previous battles, he had been fighting alone and did not use any elemental magic equipment. This was not because he wanted to train himself, but in a situation where his spiritual force was severely lacking, using a grade 3 elemental magic equipment would instantly drain his spiritual force.
If he revealed such a huge flaw in front of a Mechanic Magus that was proficient in killing, wouldn't that be equivalent to asking for a ticket to death? Hence, Grimm could only grit his teeth and use the battle techniques that he was not proficient in to fight with the Mechanic Magus for so long.
Fortunately, he had gained a lot of experience from his years of conquering planes. Coupled with his decent magic equipment, he did not fail miserably and become his opponent's prey.
However, after being pestered by the Mechanic Magus for the past few days, Grimm had been suppressing a bellyful of anger. The moment he heard the A.I. Chip's prompt, Grimm did not hesitate to throw away the steak in his hand and rush towards the bonfire in the distance.
The Mechanic Magus seemed to have her own unique method of scouting and tracking. When Grimm made any movements, she stood up in confusion and looked towards the dark forest in the distance.
Along the way, regardless of the occasion or place, as long as the two of them were together, they would start fighting. However, the number of times they fought at night could be counted on one hand. After all, both of them needed some time to recover their spiritual force and recover from their injuries.
Without absolute confidence in winning, neither of them was willing to force the other into a corner and cause irreparable damage to themselves. Hence, the night became an unspoken truce between the two of them. Although a series of small tricks like assassination, poison, harassment, and so on were endless, there had never been a big battle in the open.
Hence, Katie could not help but raise her guard against the Wizard's unusual actions.
Judging from the current situation, Katie had the upper hand in terms of basic combat strength. She had won most of the battles, while the Wizard had fled in defeat. However, in terms of cunning and difficulty in fighting, Grimm was a notch above her.
Most of the time, Katy's advantage in combat was not enough to turn into a victory against Grimm's cunning tricks. That was why this interception in the otherworld had become so messy and messy.
Based on Katie's familiarity with the Wizard, the reason why he was so eager to fight her must be because he had grasped a key to victory.
Then … what could it be?
While Katie was pondering and preparing for battle, Grimm had already rushed out of the forest.
"Kid, haven't you suffered enough when I beat you up so badly the last few times? Why did you come looking for … "
Before Katie could finish her sentence, Grimm had already released an elemental magic machine.
Katie's face turned ashen when she saw a metal magic machine that was 2 meters tall rising from the ground. Its shiny alloy body emitted violent and ferocious magical energy.
Grade-3 … Damn it, it's a Grade-3 magic machine!
Judging from the intensity of the magical energy and the destructive aura it exuded, Katie's red mechanical eyes quickly determined the basic combat strength of the elemental magic machine.
Damn it, damn it, damn it … Apart from being slightly weaker than her in terms of agility, this magic machine was stronger than her in terms of strength, vitality, and mental strength. Katie could barely maintain a 60% chance of winning against such a huge monster.
However, even if she won, her strength and body would be greatly damaged.
Katie's heart turned cold when she had to fight both the huge monster and the Wizard at the same time. She calculated that her chance of winning was less than 3%.
Therefore, Katie let out a loud roar, and five metal blades flew out in a frenzy, intercepting the attacks of the two huge enemies. She turned around and ran without hesitation, quickly disappearing into the darkness of the forest.
Face, dignity … What was that?
It seemed like only the living needed those things.
