In less than a quarter of an hour, the two Sorcerers had reached the vicinity of the volcano.
Looking at the billowing gray smoke and the assaulting heat wave, their expressions couldn't help but turn ugly.
The other party was a famous legendary Fire Magus. Although his reputation was not well-known in the outer realm, as hunters among Magi, they would not make the mistake of underestimating their enemy. Katy was a famous Grade 3 Magus, but because of a moment of carelessness and arrogance, she had fallen into the hands of the natives.
If not for the Giant Serpent Wizard Natagu reaching an agreement with the Grade 4 Holy Knight in time, Katy would have lost her life in this desolate and lowly plane.
The agreement clearly stated that the three Hunter Sorcerers would not invade the Envic Plane and would even help the Holy Knights fight against the Deceit Witches. Of course, in exchange, the Paladin Faction had to provide them with assistance in hunting down Grimm.
It was because of this agreement that the Grade 4 Holy Knight let Katy go. With the help of the three Hunter Sorcerers, he managed to escape from Haskans City to Hesath City.
After finding traces of the Fire Wizard in Hesath City, the three Hunter Sorcerers would not let go of such a good opportunity. They followed the Fire Wizard all the way to this terrifying volcano.
Even a Sorcerer would have a headache fighting a Fire Wizard in such a place!
The restraints of the environment were simply too unsolvable. If they were not careful, it would not be surprising for the two of them to die here.
However, the Giant Serpent Wizard Natagu and the Psionic Warlock Beneja were not easy to deal with. Since the inside of the volcano was so dangerous, and it was hard to say who would win, it was better not to attack.
The two of them set up tents near the mouth of the volcano and set up a small campsite, looking like they were going to stay there for a long time. This time, it was Grimm's weak spot.
They could afford to wait, but Grimm could not.
No, to be more precise, the Deceit Witches could not!
If the materials to repair the Witchcraft Circle could not be delivered in time, the native Holy Knights could easily destroy the Witch Tower without any reinforcements.
Logically, Grimm did not have to risk his life to help the Deceit Witches. However, without the long-distance teleportation formation, Grim would have to go through a lot of trouble to return to the Sorcerer World. However, the three hunting sorcerers did not seem to have such concerns.
After two days of confrontation near the crater, Guinevere the Poisonous Woman also hurried over.
This caused the pressure on Grim to become heavier.
Originally, the Plague Spirit Remy had planned to join Grimm, but considering that the special environment of the volcano was not suitable for Remy to display his strength, Grimm declined.
Just as Grim was hesitating whether he should continue to defend the place or take the risk to break out of the encirclement, the heavily injured Katy arrived.
At the hands of Grimm and the Tier 4 Divine Knight, Katie had suffered severe injuries. Her limbs were severed, and her Mechanical Witchcraft had shattered. Such serious injuries could only be truly healed after returning to the Magus World or the Outlands. Here, he could barely treat the injuries on the surface.
The severed limbs had all been reattached, and the damaged Mechanical Heart could barely function. Therefore, the furious Katy rushed to the volcano camp and joined in the encirclement of the Fire Witches.
With her injuries, she could barely maintain her Intermediate Grade 3 strength at the Primary Grade 3. She could still act as a secondary attacker.
Her participation in the battle had completely extinguished Grimm's thoughts of escaping.
If he stayed in the volcano, he might be able to take on many enemies by himself. However, if he was forced out of the volcano, none of the hunting sorcerers would be easy to deal with. As for Witch Rena and the materials to repair the spell formation, they were no longer important compared to his life.
For the first time in his life, Grimm was forced into a dangerous situation, and he could not do anything to escape!
Grimm had already rushed out of the crater countless times. With his back against the lava pool, he fought the four hunting sorcerers in a frenzy. Unfortunately, apart from wreaking havoc in the volcano area, he could not defeat or kill any one of them.
Every time Grimm rushed out, his main opponent was the Giant Serpent Wizard, Natagu.
Natagu's fighting style was very simple. He transformed into a terrifying giant serpent that was more than 20 meters long and covered in purplish black scales. This giant serpent had the unique long life force of snakes, as well as a terrifying sound wave attack.
This kind of sound wave attack was one of the more unpopular spells in the magic system, so there were relatively few defensive spells that could counter it. Sound wave attacks were famous for breaking through defenses. Even the sturdy body of the elemental magic machine could not completely defend against it.
Therefore, the Giant Serpent Wizard Natagu alone was enough to pin down both Grimm and the elemental magic machine. As for the other two witches, one was good at using poison, while the other was good at controlling minds. They greatly affected Grimm in the intense battle.
Whenever Grimm showed a flaw in the battle, Katy, who had been looking for an opening, would cut to his side and use the most violent attack to break through his defense. Most of the time, Katy didn't mind exchanging blows with Grimm.
This was something that hurt Grimm the most!
If it wasn't for Soden's Divine Ring, Grim would not have been able to survive such a terrifying attack.
… …
Grimm slowly opened his eyes in a secret cave under the lava pool.
The cave was only about 20 square meters in size. Apart from a simple stone bed, there were no other items or furnishings. Miniature flame spell symbols were inlaid on the rock walls around the entrance, emitting misty fiery light that blocked the thick, heavy, and thick lava outside the cave.
The Elemental Magic Machine was guarding the entrance of the cave motionlessly, its compound eyes projecting multiple frequencies of light waves, firmly monitoring the movements in the nearby lava sea. Only when Grimm completely woke up did the elemental magic machine retreat to the side of the cave and return to its normal state of alertness.
The first thing Grimm did after waking up was to quickly communicate with the A.I. Chip.
He had set up numerous fire traps around the crater of the volcano. If the hunting wizards wanted to sneak in, they would definitely trigger Grimm's trap. When that happened, it would be time for him to hunt them down!
Unfortunately, it was unknown if they were intimidated by Grimm's reputation or if they were overly cautious. No matter how many flaws Grimm revealed, they were not willing to step into the lava pool.
This meant that most of Grimm's traps were useless.
Other than the fixed fire traps, the magma pool was also filled with all kinds of strange fire creatures of different forms and species. They had come from the Fire Elemental Plane and were under Grimm's control. They had become Grimm's spies and minions.
It was a pity that the strongest of these flame creatures was only at the peak of Grade 1. They could be used as cannon fodder, but it was wishful thinking to use them to chase away the hunting Magi.
Hmph, since the hunting Magi do not dare to come and find trouble with me, I'll go and find trouble with you …
After a deep sleep, Grimm recovered from his injuries and fatigue from the previous battle. He brought his elemental magic machine and the flame creatures out of the lava pool.
At this moment, there was only the Soul Warlock Benejia guarding the crater.
Just as she was bored to death, she used her mental waves to sense the movements around the crater. The lava that was originally flowing quietly suddenly started boiling. Following that, a large amount of flame energy rose from the bottom of the lava pool and rushed towards the top of the crater.
It's here again!
Covering her red lips with her delicate hand, Benijia let out a small yawn and stretched her body. Only then did she extend her spiritual power towards the huge flame energy. Before the enemies could rush out of the lava pool, she had already used her powerful psionic ability to detect the number and level of the enemies.
"Hey, you guys come over quickly. That Fire Magus seems to be looking for trouble again!"
As Benejia's voice echoed in the temporary camp, the three hunting Magi came out of their tents. They rubbed their sleepy eyes and cursed as they flew towards the crater.
Just as they arrived at the crater, Grimm and his subordinates rushed out of the lava pool and appeared in the crater.
"What's wrong, kid? Did the 'Kiss of Death' not teach you a lesson? How dare you come out again today … "The Giant Serpent Magus Natagu laughed coldly. His gaze pierced through the dense red light and landed on Grimm's left hand.
There, at the edge of the palm, two deep teeth marks could still be clearly seen. The flesh and skin around it had already turned black, and there was a faint smell of bitter tea.
This was a killing move that Natagu had left behind for Grimm in the previous battle. During close combat, he would suddenly cast the terrifying 'Kiss of Death' and split his body into a serpentine shadow that could ignore defence to attack his opponent. If the opponent was not aware, the serpentine shadow could even drill into the opponent's body and devour their soul.
Fortunately, Grimm had the A.I. Chip's warning. He blocked his chest with his palm in time to prevent the attack from penetrating his body. However, because of this, Grimm was also infected with the terrifying venom of the giant serpent. He had no choice but to sleep to neutralize the venom.
Now that the opponent had brought up the past, Grimm's expression turned grim. He then sneered, "Mere venom can't kill me. However, I'm still not satisfied that I didn't eat a barbecued giant serpent last time. What do you say, Lord Natagu? "
Natagu was currently wearing a purple robe. Obvious burn marks could be seen on his exposed skin.
Even with his rank 3 bloodline Magus physique, he could not completely heal these external injuries. This was enough to show how serious the burns he had received in the previous battle were.
