This place used to be a dark and damp cave.
However, after some simple modifications by Grimm, it had become a simple and comfortable underground palace.
After leaving Hakans City, Grim had found a safe place nearby. He used his Rock Python to burrow thirty meters underground, and only then did he manage to dig out a simple cave that was fifty square meters in size.
As for the moisture that was everywhere underground, a high-temperature barrier turned the damp soil into hard rock. Grimm then took out a Illumination Stone and embedded it into the ceiling of the cave. After infusing some mana into it, the place became bright.
Releasing elemental magic equipment to act as sentries, Grimm created a stone bed in a corner of the cave. He laid on it with his clothes on and fell into a deep sleep.
It had been 37 days since he entered the Envic Plane. Over the past month, Grimm had been harassed by the annoying Dagger Lady and had not really slept at all. He had not even gone into deep meditation. Although he was a Grade 3 Magus and his body was comparable to most magical creatures, it was inevitable that he would be mentally exhausted.
The continuous days of running around, the mental backlash from the destruction of his Fire Clone, and the huge mental toll from the battle at Harkanth City had all added up to make Grimm somewhat exhausted. As soon as the safe zone was set up, he fell asleep without saying a word, directly falling into the deepest sleep he had ever experienced.
It had to be said that for humans, sleep was the best way to relieve fatigue and mental stress!
After Black Sweet's sleep, Grim slowly woke up from his slumber after his mental exhaustion had completely disappeared. He sat up in a daze, yawning and stretching his body. Grimm shook his head lightly and finally regained consciousness.
"A.I. Chip, how long did I sleep?"
[40 hours 37 minutes 52 seconds …]
"Ugh … So long!" Grimm rubbed his rumbling stomach and smiled wryly, "No wonder I feel so hungry."
With the physique of a Grade 3 Magus, he would not feel hungry even if he did not eat for more than a month. The only reason why Grimm felt this way was because he had used up too much of his energy.
The Balrog's Heart that he had implanted when he was at Grade 1 was only a Grade 2 magic organ. The Balrog's Heart that he had implanted when he was at Grade 1 was no more than a Grade 2 magic organ. Even when Grimm was weak, the Balrog's Heart had given him a huge boost in energy output and strength.
Now that Grimm had advanced to Grade 3, the fire spells he could cast were at least 400 to 500 degrees. This level of energy was not something that the Grade 2 Balrog's Heart could handle. The Balrog Transformation also did not give Grimm as much of a boost to his battle strength as before.
When facing Tier 3 enemies, the Flame Demon Transformation, which had helped him defeat powerful enemies multiple times, had degenerated into a relatively useless ability. On the contrary, it wasn't as flexible and flexible as the Flame Body.
It was precisely because the Balrog's Heart was not strong enough that Grimm's Heart became weak. He could no longer intimidate everyone with his terrifying strength.
If he did not need to fight, the energy output from the Balrog's Heart would be enough to satisfy Grimm's needs. However, when he was in an intense battle, the energy output from the Balrog's Heart would not be enough. Grimm would need to expend a large amount of spiritual force to gather the wandering magic energy in the plane.
This was the main reason why Grimm's reserves of fire energy were rapidly declining.
Where did the energy come from? Of course it came from the high calorie food!
Therefore, after waking up, Grimm decided to gorge himself on food just like Katy did to replenish the energy in his body.
However, Katie had only been chewing on a bunch of Violent Earth Bears that were only Tier 1. Grimm, on the other hand, had taken out Tier 3 Fire Dragon Meat from his pouch and roasted it.
The difference in energy between the two was like night and day!
After five kilograms of Fire Dragon meat entered his stomach, Grimm felt the warm energy slowly spreading in his stomach. He let out a satisfied burp, his mind returning to its usual sharpness.
After sleeping and eating his fill, it was time to check on his gains in Hakans City.
The Grade 4 Soden Divine Ring was undoubtedly a high-grade magic item that far surpassed Grimm's strength. With it, Grimm would be able to suppress normal Grade 3 Magi even though he was only a Grade 3 Magus.
In order to avoid exposing its strength, Grimm had to cast a disguise spell on it to make it less conspicuous.
After fiddling with Soden's Divine Ring for a long time, Grimm put it back on his right pinky finger and turned to inspect the other items.
In the next second, the Plague Poison Spirit that had fused with his soul crawled out of thin air and ran around in front of him like a delicate doll.
Grade 3 …
After the battle in Hakans City, not only did Grimm gain a lot, but the Plague Poison Spirit had also successfully advanced to Grade 3. Moreover, this increase in grade had caused its existence to undergo some strange changes.
At Grade 1, this Soul Equipment was in the form of a spell book …
At Grade 2, it had turned into a wooden doll with strange runes drawn all over its body …
Now that it had reached Grade 3, it was closer to a real life form. At least, from the outside, it looked like a strange little boy that was only one meter tall, with dark green skin and green eyes. Its body was naked, and there were no genitals between its legs.
Although its movements were still a little stiff and sluggish, it was still not as agile as a real life form. But when 'he' ran around Grimm happily, Grimm suddenly had the illusion that he had a 'son'.
"Master, I also want a name …"
Just as Grimm was muttering to himself and smiling, a timid child's voice entered his ears. The other party's request made Grimm's heart skip a beat.
"A name? Why do you want a name? "Grimm asked with a smile.
"Because Master has a name, Alice has a name, and Mary has a name, so … I want a name too!" This was obviously the first time the Plague Poison Spirit had taken the initiative to communicate with someone. Although it stuttered at the start, once it started speaking, its words became more fluent and natural.
Grimm noticed that the Plague Poison Spirit had a spiritual connection with him. If they wanted to communicate, they could instantly understand each other's thoughts through a spiritual channel. There was no need for them to use the 'clumsy' and 'ancient' method of communication.
However, it had chosen to use such a method. Moreover, it used the common language of the Zenbeis Empire in Envik's plane. This meant that the Plague Poison Spirit could rely on its special ability to fuse with Grimm's vast knowledge.
Although it was limited by its innate talent and could not cast fire spells, it could still share most of the knowledge that had been sorted out by the A.I. Chip.
Grimm let out a long sigh.
After spending so much effort and resources, he had finally upgraded this strange item that was bound to his soul to Grade 3. From now on, it was no longer of little value. Instead, it was a powerful 'assistant' that could truly help him.
However, wasn't this one-metre body a little too small? What abilities did it have?
As if sensing Grimm's doubts, the Plague Poison Spirit opened up its soul and revealed its true self to Grimm.
Target Creature: Plague Poison Spirit (Temporary Name)
Target Race: Magic Contract Spirit
Target Rank: Grade 3
Target Basic Attributes: Strength 3
Vitality 8
Agility 5
Spirit 31
Target Magical Property: Poison Attribute
Target Innate Abilities: Poison Halo, Plague Spores, Soul Poison, Plague Transformation
… …
… …
The list of skills projected by the A.I. Chip was densely packed with battle skills with strange names and strange abilities. These were the basic abilities that the Plague Poison Spirit had grasped. As it progressed, these abilities would continue to strengthen.
Grimm scanned through the Plague Poison Spirit's data and could not help but mutter to himself.
He could tell that the Plague Poison Spirit was a special contracted creature that needed protection in order to display its strength. Its strength, vitality, and agility were obviously on the lower end, only on par with those who had just advanced to become official Magi.
All of its strength was concentrated in its spiritual force.
The only thing he did not know was how it fought. This was something that he would have to slowly figure out and correct in his long life of battle.
"From today onwards, your name shall be Remy!"
Hearing Grimm's words, the dark green little boy cheered happily and skipped off to play with the big guy (an elemental weapon).
Grimm hesitated for a moment, then took out the strange Spirit Gathering Crystal from his waist and held it in front of his eyes.
"A.I. Chip, scan and examine the Spirit Gathering Crystal!"
[Beep. Scanning has begun …]
As his spiritual force slowly flowed, a dazzling blue ray shot out from Grimm's black eyes and struck the Spirit Gathering Crystal. Indistinctly, thousands of mournful and shrill cries of souls rang out from within the Soul-gathering Crystal, making Grim dizzy.
After a quarter of an hour, the A.I. Chip's scan finally came to an end, and a new report was presented to Grimm.
