This was a masterpiece that could topple all puppeteers' understanding of art!
The dazzling Main Crystal Core was almost transparent under the bright light. The irregular surface of the Main Crystal Core was engraved with dense, thin, spiderweb-like magic veins that looked like the veins of the Main Crystal Core. As the elemental energy around it vibrated, tiny golden arcs of lightning started to appear, swimming around the crystal's smooth surface.
Every time it made a circle, it would absorb more lightning elements from the surrounding space, and the golden arcs of lightning would become stronger and stronger. In the end, a blinding lightning storm started to engulf the Main Crystal Core. Although it wasn't powerful, the aura of refinement was shocking.
Grimm pinched the Main Crystal Core with two fingers. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it. His heart was filled with endless pride.
This Main Crystal Core was the key to forming the Lightning Giant. In order to make space for more refinement and strengthening spell formations, the spell formations that absorbed and stored energy had been transferred to the other five Wind Crystal Cores. Even so, when the Main Crystal Core was exposed to the air, the lightning elements were uncontrollably attracted to it, creating the strange scene before him.
Grimm put his right hand together, dispersing the chaotic lightning elements. He placed his right hand in front of his forehead, silently connecting to the Imprint of Consciousness inside the Main Crystal Core. It could be said that the Imprint of Consciousness on the Main Crystal Core was the most important core spell formation. Grimm had used this Imprint of Consciousness to obtain control of the future Lightning Giant.
Very smoothly, Grimm's mental power penetrated the Imprint of Consciousness and resonated with a trace of mental power that was left in it. When this process was completed, the Imprint of Consciousness on the Main Crystal Core was activated. From then on, no one would be able to take control of it away from Grimm.
Of course, this was a necessary process for private puppets. Puppeteers often needed to control golems or puppets, so most of them would change the Imprint of Consciousness to runes. Puppeteers would make control runes into tokens and amulets that were easy to carry and transfer, and then sell them publicly. Anyone who held the control runes could give orders to golems or puppets.
From this point of view, the golems were far less' loyal 'than the demonic puppets!
The satisfied Grim had just returned to the entrance of his residence when he bumped into Mary, who was dragging her tired body back. Although she was wearing a red dress, Mary's body was covered with terrifying scars. Even her pretty and delicate face was covered with wounds.
"You … What's wrong?" In the past few days, Grim had been busy with his magic puppet and did not have time to pay attention to Mary's every move, so he was shocked by her injury.
"Hmph, it's just a small injury. That bastard's injuries are worse than mine! If it wasn't for the fact that it could help me master magic battle techniques, I would've sucked it dry long ago! "Mary waved her hand fiercely and cursed while gnashing her teeth. Although she sounded powerful, Grim, who was familiar with her character, dared to say that she would definitely lose in a fight.
"Mary, you've been going to the Creela Mountains recently. Can you help me find a suitable opponent to practice with? It's best if it's a quasi-wizard, and one that can keep secrets! "Grim said hesitantly.
"Your lightning giant is ready?" Mary's eyes lit up.
"Yes! But I haven't tested it yet. As for its strength … "
"That's good. Let's go and help me get revenge! "
Mary, who had been living in dire straits recently, always had the flame of revenge burning in her heart. However, the idea of leading a group of people to attack an enemy had never crossed her mind. Hearing Grim's request, she did not have time to go back to her room to treat her injuries. Instead, she turned around and rushed out of the wizard tower with him.
She did not care about the strange gazes of the wizard apprentices around her. As soon as they rushed out of the wizard tower, Mary flapped her wings and transformed into a giant vampire bat. She grabbed Grim's shoulders and flew into the sky.
At this moment, it was already dusk. There was still a trace of fiery clouds in the dark sky. The Creela Mountains in the distance were like a sleeping giant, lying on the edge of the dark sky.
Mary was flying towards the depths of the mountains.
Since the last time Mary drank Alice's blood, her strength and physique had greatly improved. In the past, it was very difficult for her to fly with Grim on her back. She almost always glided at the treetops. But now, when she flapped her leathery bat wings with all her might, she brought Grim almost 100 meters into the sky and flew forward as fast as an arrow.
The damp night breeze with a hint of coldness slapped against his face. The strong wind that blew against his face forced Grim to close his eyes. He had no choice but to put on the gnome engineering goggles again, which made his situation a little better.
With the help of the dim light of the goggles, he looked down at the ground. At the edge of the dark forest, there were countless torches in a long line hurrying towards the wizard tower.
These should be the exploration teams that went into the depths of the mountains every day to hunt for magic beasts and to search for magic potions.
While Grim was still pondering, Mary had already brought him across the night sky and flew over the heads of the exploration teams.
The sky was not completely dark yet. Some of the exploration teams on the ground had obviously noticed the abnormality in the sky. Under their shouts, a few team leaders also raised their heads and looked into the sky. But before they could find the small black dot in the dark sky, Mary had already brought Grim into the depths of the forest.
The place that Mary was heading to was more than 70 kilometers away from the wizard tower. If it was on the ground, it would take at least half a day to cross this part of the forest on foot. But for Mary, it would only take her three quarters of an hour.
This was a small hill near a tall mountain range. Mary brought Grimm to this place and began to slowly descend. On the hill, there was an open space the size of half a football field. Although it was also full of weeds and shrubs, it was scattered all over the place. It was obvious that it had been trampled on by the foot.
She threw Grim on the grass, and the red smoke of the vampire bat exploded. In the blink of an eye, she turned back into Red Mary.
"Toriel, you bastard, get out here! I, Red Mary, have come for revenge! "As soon as she returned to her human form, Mary put her hands on her waist and roared. Her shrill and sharp voice reverberated in the dark forest, and one could faintly hear the echoes in the distance.
What was she doing?
At this moment, Grim's mind was in a mess. He found Mary's actions extremely funny.
He had long heard that Mary was looking for suitable opponents to practice her close combat skills, but no matter how urgent she was, she should not have come to such a desolate forest to look for one! What else could she find here other than wild beasts and magic beasts? It couldn't be that her practice opponents were magic beasts, right?
Filled with endless imagination, Grim shook his head and smiled bitterly. He was about to stop Mary's nonsense, but with a deep sigh, a tall and strong figure came out of the forest and appeared on the high hill.
Black clouds floated in the sky, and a silver moon emerged from the clouds, shining bright moonlight on the figure of the opponent.
It was a well-built man with a well-proportioned body. He had dark green eyes, a cold face, and a full set of green armor. It was obvious that he was a powerful person who specialized in close combat.
When he first appeared, he had a gentle smile on his face. It was obvious that he wanted to have a good chat with Mary. However, when he realized that Mary was not alone on the high hill, his expression turned cold. He stared at Grim from afar, trying to figure out something.
"Toriel, I've said it before. If you want me to be your woman, then you have to defeat me sincerely! Today, I've found you an opponent. As long as you can defeat him, I'll agree to your request! How about it? That's not too harsh, is it? You're not afraid of an intermediate acolyte, are you? "Mary shouted with her hands on her waist, completely ignoring Grim's dumbfounded expression.
Since when did Mary have a suitor? From the looks of it, he should also be an acolyte, but why did he live in the wilderness? Looking at his strength …
Grim could not help but furrow his brows.
This fellow's spiritual undulations were very strange, but the A.I. Chip's feedback proved that he was a Quasi Magus.
While Grim was observing the other party, the man in green armor was also silently sizing him up.
"You keep saying that you have a man, don't tell me it's this weak little guy? His spiritual fluctuations are so chaotic, it's probably because he's using drugs to forcefully raise it. His spiritual undulations are so chaotic, it's probably because of drugs. Will he be able to withstand your ecstatic kisses? With his weak body, can he withstand a few of your breaths? "The man in green armor became more and more furious as he spoke, and in the end, he was unable to restrain his anger.
Ah Ou, a love rival has actually come knocking on my door! Pfft, bullsh * t love rival. At most, I have a little ambiguous relationship with Mary. They are not even lovers, so how can I be a love rival?
Grim had a strange smile on his face as he looked at the man in green armor. However, before he could even tease him, the man's body underwent an unbelievable change.
The man in green armor's body slowly expanded, causing the loose armour on his body to creak. Countless thick black hairs drilled out from under his skin, and his face began to twist and contort as two sharp fangs angrily emerged from his mouth. The most eye-catching thing was his eyes. The two balls of dark green light grew brighter and brighter, until they covered the silver moon in the sky, causing Grim's heart to feel stifled.
