Gansus Volcano. Beneath the lava pool.
This was a lava cavern located deep within the crater of the volcano.
Standing in front of the dark red transparent light barrier at the entrance of the cave, one could clearly see the thick and heavy magma sea rumbling and flowing in front of him. The tumbling and vibrating magma was still wrapped in volcanic rocks that had not completely melted, as well as some strange iron stones shining with a metallic luster.
The Elemental Machinery was like a loyal hound that would never tire, guarding the entrance of the cave. The honeycomb-shaped holes on its head would occasionally flash with strange light waves of different colors, closely monitoring the surroundings. A series of detection light waves of completely different types, along with the fire traps in the lava pool, firmly guarded this abnormally crude lava cavern.
Inside the cavern, Grim was lying on a stone bed with the Soul Gathering Crystal placed on his chest. He was inhaling and exhaling in a strange manner.
Grim's breathing rate was abnormally slow, only exhaling and exhaling five times per minute.
He inhaled through his nose and exhaled through his mouth. Grim was exhaling and exhaling at a strange frequency. Every time he inhaled, the air in the cavern seemed to be instantly sucked dry by him, and one could vaguely hear the hissing sound of the air. When he opened his mouth and exhaled, a thin stream of scorching flames rushed out, scorching the cave wall above the stone bed until it was charred black.
Regardless of whether he was inhaling or exhaling, there were faint sounds of wind and thunder in the cavern, as if a terrifying fire dragon was lying there, snoring loudly.
While Grim was deep in meditation, his spiritual sea vaguely connected with the Soul Gathering Crystal in front of his chest, and a stream of energy slowly flowed into it, nourishing and strengthening his spiritual world.
To be honest, even Grim did not expect that devouring the ownerless holy light and pure power of faith in the Soul Gathering Crystal would take him so much time, and there were even unexpected twists and turns.
The ownerless holy light contained in the Soul Gathering Crystal had long melted the soul of the Holy Knight into pure and unconscious spiritual energy after such a long period of time. Therefore, Grim's split soul was like a tiger in a flock of sheep, devouring everything in its path.
However, its actions had inadvertently awakened the pure Holy Light left behind by the Tier 3 Golden Knight.
The greatest characteristic of the Holy Light that the Holy Knights worshipped and believed in was' Tolerance ', which was also the' Purification 'that they kept repeating. After an ordinary Holy Knight died, his soul would be placed in the last wisp of pure Holy Light. Logically speaking, it should be traced back to its origin and reintegrated into the plane's system.
However, after they were intercepted by Grimm, they were left aimlessly in the Soul Gathering Crystal. The souls of the other Holy Knights had been purified by the Holy Light of the host, but the soul of the Grade 3 Golden Knight was worthy of his rank. It actually withstood the purification of the Holy Light and preserved part of its consciousness.
If not for the stimulation from Grimm's soul, this part of his consciousness might never have awakened. It would have slowly lost its power over time and would eventually be completely dissolved by the Holy Light. However, the appearance of Grimm's soul had stimulated the will to fight and survive in his remaining consciousness.
The awakened Golden Knight's soul had lost most of its memories and consciousness, so it instinctively launched a counterattack against Grimm's soul.
And so, a different kind of battle broke out in the fist-sized Soul Gathering Crystal!
With the tenacity of a Grade 3 Golden Knight's soul, even if it had lost most of its power, it was still not something that Grimm's soul could fight against. Hence, the only thing Grimm's soul could do was to chase and run.
In order to help the soul fight against the Golden Knight's soul, Grimm had no choice but to personally participate in the battle. With the guidance of the A.I. Chip, he dodged the pursuit of the other party while frantically devouring the ownerless Holy Light and the purest spiritual energy.
After five years of twists and turns, he had finally grown up and defeated the Golden Knight's soul, turning it into his own spiritual energy. And today, it was time for Grimm to reap the fruits of his labor.
As he established a spiritual channel with the soul, the other party also took the opportunity to transfer pure spiritual energy to Grimm.
Under the monitoring and detection of the A.I. Chip, Grimm's spiritual force, which had not moved for five years, finally experienced a sudden surge.
32 … 33 … 34 … 35 …
With the continuous growth of his spiritual force, Grimm's body, which was lying on the stone bed, surged with a powerful spiritual pressure. Dense fire elemental energy automatically gathered around him, turning into invisible flames that began to burn wildly.
Without a sound, the Molten Cavern turned into a formless sea of fire. Everything began to melt under the terrifying flames.
Even a Tier 3 Elemental Magic Machine had no choice but to conjure up an Energy Field to isolate the invisible flames. The invisible flames licked at the invisible energy field, silently extinguishing the magic energy on it. Even the elemental equipment could feel the rapid loss of energy.
If not for the miniature magic furnace supporting the elemental equipment, other Magi would not have been able to survive in the transparent flames.
This was obviously a high-grade elemental spell, Submerged Magic!
Submerged Magic … This was a special spell effect that was on par with Mana Absorption and Magic Destruction.
Submerged Magic was also known as Neutralization. It could use magic energy of the same level to submerge the opponent's magic energy.
Mana Absorption was not so much an effect of a spell, but rather an innate ability of a certain race. It allowed the recipient to absorb a portion of the attack's magic energy and convert it into their own power.
Magic Destruction was the use of special battle techniques or spells to break through the opponent's magic defenses. The Holy Light Slash of a Paladin was a combination of the power of Holy Light, which allowed it to break both magic and magic.
Now, with the increase in his spiritual force, Grimm's creature rank had also jumped from Primary to High, and it was still rising.
When the Spirit Gathering Crystal shattered into countless crystal shards, Grimm's spiritual force finally stopped at 37 points. This number was still within the range of a high-grade Grade 3 Magus. However, if the Flame Set and Soden's Divine Ring were taken into account, Grimm's spiritual force might not be any weaker than a Peak Grade 3 Magus.
Just as Grimm was immersed in the feeling of invincibility brought about by the increase in his spiritual force, he sensed and scanned the surroundings of the lava pool.
The flaming traps that were set up there were triggered one after another. An abnormally delicate and charming beautiful figure took the lead and dashed forward, using a strange spirit ripple to detonate every single flaming trap along the way.
Behind her, three familiar figures were also charging towards the Molten Cavern.
Hmm, the enemy has taken the initiative to attack?
Could it be that something strange had happened outside? Otherwise, why would the Magi that he had lured thousands of times but never stepped into the lava pool suddenly become so wild?
With a trace of confusion, Grim slowly opened his eyes.
The moment he opened his eyes that were burning with golden flames, his golden, burly body sucked in every trace of fire in the cavern like a whale sucking in water.
In an instant, the fire in the Molten Cavern dissipated, and the temperature became much warmer.
Grimm felt a sense of fullness that he had never felt before. His powerful spiritual force blended with the dense fire elemental energy outside the cavern, giving him a strange feeling of becoming one with the world.
He could vaguely hear the sound of the laws of heaven and earth operating, and the Law of Fire that he had yearned for was right in front of him. However, when he reached out to touch it, he was blocked by an invisible barrier, unable to touch it at all.
Just as Grimm was about to burst into flames and burn through the barrier, the elemental equipment guarding the Molten Cavern sent him an emergency warning.
The enemy had arrived!
Being able to become a Tier 3 Sorcerer, it could be said that most of the natural dangers in the plane were not considered to be dangerous to them. Even if they were not adept at controlling fire, with their strength, it was not a big deal for them to soak in the lava pool for half a day.
However, it would be a different story if they were to fight a Fire Magus of the same rank!
"We're almost at the enemy's lair …" The psionic warlock Beneja, who was leading the way, whispered to Grimm, "The fire elemental energy here is too violent, and it's interfering with my senses. I can't lock on to the Fire Magus anymore. However, his spiritual waves are still chaotic and disorderly, as if he has not gotten rid of the witchcraft experiment! "
"Then don't hesitate. Once we see the Fire Magus, we'll act according to the plan. We must take him down today! " Natagu, the Giant Snake Magus, encouraged the others while he had already transformed into a terrifying Black Mamba. He swayed his thick, long tail, swaying the thick and heavy magma in front of him and slithered forward with all his might.
On the surface of his solid and dense snake scales, streaks of earthy yellow light shone, blocking out the boiling lava and the high heat and the heavy pressure on his body. At the same time, he also protected Old Poisonous Witch and Dagger Girl behind him.
The distance of 300 meters was covered in the blink of an eye.
When Natagu saw the dark-red flame barrier at the entrance of the Molten Cavern, he immediately swung his tail and scuttled past Beneja, rushing towards the tall metal magic equipment that stood at the entrance.
* Dong! Dong!
Dong! * A barrage of metal bullets shot out from the raised muzzle of the elemental equipment, turning into streams of terrifying metal flames that broke through the viscous magma and hit the Giant Snake Magus.
