They were still on the deserted path in the forest.
The strong light in Benijia's purple eyes began to dissipate, and an invisible mind wave radiated from her in all directions.
"What's wrong? Did you find something?" Natagu, the Giant Snake Wizard, stopped and asked in a low voice.
Benijia's mental strength was the strongest in the team, so she was the team's vanguard and guide. They were able to track them all the way from Hakans City to here because of Benijia's strange mind sensing ability.
"I just killed a wind elemental creature. It doesn't look like it's wild. It's likely to be a spy the target placed in the periphery." Her Spirit Ripples were still silently scanning the surroundings for any signs of activity.
On the entire path, be it birds or squirrels hiding under thick ancient trees, or snakes or rats or ants hiding a few meters below the ground, nothing could escape Benijia's mind waves.
Wherever she passed, as long as any living creature had signs of life, they would be fed back to her mind in the form of special light spots. Benijia chose to ignore the extremely small light spots. But when it came to the medium and large creatures, Benijia's mind waves would cause them to ignore this strange team, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
In Benijia's purple eyes, there was a colorful, illusory, and magnificent world in front of her. Apart from being able to see the physical scene in front of her, she could also use her elemental vision to check the distribution and flow of magical elements within her line of sight.
The fire wizard had passed by here two days ago, which could be determined from the concentration of light red fire elemental particles left in the forest. Elemental Wizards were, after all, large elemental reactors. Even if they tried their best to restrain their energy radiation, it would still change the concentration of elemental particles in the area they passed by to varying degrees.
Therefore, in Benijia's eyes, there was an erratic red band of light in front of her, extending from Hakans City into the distance. The area that the fire wizard had passed by was as eye-catching as a bonfire in the dark. She couldn't ignore it even if she wanted to.
By relying on the remaining fire elemental particles in the air, Benijia could vaguely sense the fire wizard's basic strength, physical condition, and crude emotional reactions.
It seemed that the Fire Wizard had a bountiful harvest in the native's city. Even his remaining fire elemental particles were faintly filled with joy and agitation. She could sense that this was a young Magus with outstanding talent, and his body was filled with a fiery and berserk energy.
He was very, very young … so young that it was beyond Benejia's expectations.
But the elemental aura he left behind carried a strong and enviable aura of youth, just like the clean, fragrant, and sweet smell of a newborn baby!
"So you mean … the enemy has already discovered us?" Natagu's green snake eyes coldly stared at Benejia, making her feel as if her body was being entangled by a sticky and cold snake's tongue. It was a terrible feeling!
"Yes, when I extinguished the wind elemental, I vaguely sensed a strange spiritual energy watching us. However, this spiritual energy doesn't seem to be a living thing, so I can't quite grasp it … "Benia bit her lower lip as she replied in distress.
"Hmph, it could be some kind of witchcraft of the Fire Wizard!" Natagu said coldly, "Didn't the lord say that he is very good at making puppets? He always has powerful elemental puppets of the same rank by his side? It seems that we are very close to his hiding place! Let's go … hurry up, don't let him escape again! "
The hunchbacked old witch, Gwenneville, raised her head and sniffed the air a few times, then shook her head in disappointment. It seemed that the Fire Wizard did not release the poison spirit, or she would have been able to smell the unique elemental aura of the poison spirit.
The three of them discussed for a while, then stopped talking and continued on their way.
… …
In a vast and boundless forest.
Grimm stood on a cliff that protruded from the sea of trees, silently looking into the distance.
There, a huge flaming mushroom cloud was slowly rising, accompanied by a majestic ring of dust around it.
"How is it, A.I. Chip? What did you find?" Grimm asked in his mind.
[Beep. The area of the trap is enveloped by a strange energy. I am unable to find their stats …]
The A.I. Chip's feedback left Grimm very disappointed. He could not help but ask, "If there are no stats, what about the vague energy levels? Are they at rank 3 or 4? There should be some sort of outline, right? "
[Rank 3 … According to the strength of the energy feedback in the area of the trap, no rank 4 energy has been detected … The three targets have been judged to be rank 3 … Accuracy: 76%, needs further data to be corrected …]
"I've finally heard some good news!" Grimm licked his lips and narrowed his eyes, "As long as there are no rank 4 creatures, I'm not afraid no matter how many rank 3 creatures there are. At most, we can play hide and seek here! I don't believe that they would dare to fight to the death with the rank 4 natives at their doorstep … "
With that, Grimm's body was engulfed in flames, and with a Flame Leap, he appeared in the sky hundreds of metres away. The flames around him condensed into a pair of flaming wings on his back, carrying his body through the air at a rapid speed. Before he had even flown a few hundred metres, Flame Leap cooled down once more, and Grimm's flaming body flickered once more.
Relying on the alternating use of Flame Leap and Flaming Wings, Grimm rushed towards the southwest of the Zambeis Empire at his fastest speed.
Moreover, his actions with such great fanfare had also completely exposed him in front of everyone.
The citizens of this ancient country were fortunate enough to experience the terror of a powerful Magus from another world!
Zambeis Empire, northwest region.
The sky seemed to be ablaze, and the roiling clouds of fire dyed the sky a bright red.
The rumbling sounds of rolling flames could also be heard from the battle.
Grimm flashed once every five seconds as he flew at an altitude of several hundred metres. The Scarlet Firefly's flaming wings dragged out an unending trail of flames behind him. Every time he used Flame Leap, he would leave behind a ring of flames that would slowly spread out.
In order to travel as fast as possible, Grimm no longer cared if his actions would disturb the natives below him. He desperately squeezed out the Balrog's Heart in his chest, causing it to pulse and roar madly, sending waves of extremely pure flame energy to every part of his body.
The flame energy surging in his body had a temperature of three to four thousand degrees, and the energy level was terrifying. Even so, the Balrog's Heart's output at full power was unable to support Grimm's violent actions.
Thus, after traversing a distance of more than 700 kilometres, Grimm found a large lake and dove into it.
… …
Lake Kaskara.
This was the largest area in the central part of the Zambeis Empire, with the clearest water and the most abundant fish.
The abundant Baine River and the meandering Fenris River that flowed through half the empire intersected here, forming a vast swamp that spanned hundreds of kilometres.
As this place was located within the empire, it had not been baptised by the flames of war for hundreds of years. Even the invasion of the witches in the southern part of the empire did not spread the flames of war to this place.
One lived off the mountains and one lived off the sea!
Most of the people living here were fishermen. They usually left early and returned late. Although it was a little tiring, it was still much more leisurely and comfortable than the people at the border who were caught in the flames of war and disputes.
Even though this place was not as prosperous and lively as a big city, it had its own unique peace and tranquility.
However, on this day, a large cloud of fire suddenly ignited at the end of the horizon, followed by a series of loud roars.
Immediately after that, a huge flaming meteor streaked across the sky, falling straight down from the vault of heaven. With a loud boom, it rushed into the deepest part of Lake Kaskara.
The terrifying flame shockwave collided with the towering water column, instantly causing a small half of the lake to boil and boil. In the steaming lake water, countless half-cooked silver barracudas floated on the surface of the lake, while the strange meteor had already sunk to the bottom of the lake.
Countless people who made a living in Lake Kaskara had witnessed this terrifying scene, but with their primitive and simple minds, how could they understand the terrible content hidden behind the scene in front of them?
Half an hour later, in a place with lush water plants, Grimm walked out of the lake step by step, his body steaming with heat waves. Before he even took two steps on the shore, his wizard robe had been roasted dry by the fire elements.
Grimm turned his head to look at the path he came from, a trace of a mischievous smile appearing on his young and handsome face.
He did not know what the three hunters would do if he left so wildly and arrogantly.
Would they learn from him and chase after him, or would they continue to chase him on the ground with pale faces? No matter which one it was, it was probably not a choice they would be willing to make.
After running so far in one go, even with Grimm's strength, he could not help but feel a little weak.
He quickly gathered the overflowing flame energy, dressed himself up as an ordinary traveler, and turned to the east of Lake Kaskara.
