He leisurely strolled through the forest …
Using the powerful memory function of the A.I. Chip, Grimm passed through the places that Natagu had passed through. Meanwhile, his black pupils flickered with blue light, and all kinds of strange senses were activated one after another, scanning and sensing every inch of land that he passed by.
From the lush canopy of the ancient tree to the thorny vines in the forest, nothing could escape Grimm's powerful spiritual perception.
Finally, Grimm stopped at the place where Natagu had fallen and stared at the ancient tree. Regardless of whether it was elemental vision or energy scanning, he found a high-energy substance less than 10 centimeters in the trunk of the ancient tree.
"Natagu, if you really want to escape next time, remember, don't bring your storage ring with you anymore …" Grim said coldly as he stood alone in the woods.
He was the only one in the forest, so he didn't know who he was talking to.
A refreshing breeze blew past, rustling the leaves. However, no one came out to answer his question.
"Hmph, you still don't want to give up at this point? Then let me force you out! "
With that, Grimm's eyes flashed red. Two terrifying rays of sunfire quickly streaked across the ancient tree in front of him, leaving two thin red lines on the trunk.
The ancient tree trembled and slowly fell down with a loud roar, revealing a smooth wooden core that would take three people to wrap their arms around. And in the heart of the tree, a human finger wearing a strange ring appeared, and it was wriggling slowly.
As if knowing that his escape plan had been seen through, the finger no longer concealed itself. After a series of wriggling and changing shapes, it once again turned into Natagu's appearance. However, Natagu's current height was less than 10 centimeters. He was small enough, and without any clothes to cover his body, he could only hold the ring at his waist. It looked rather comical.
"Lord Grimm … Lord Grimm … As long as you let me go, I'm willing to give you all my wealth and knowledge …" The pocket-sized person desperately shouted. Although his voice was soft, Grimm could hear him clearly.
Grimm looked at the storage ring that was large enough to be a hula hoop and sneered maliciously, "All your resources and collections are in this ring, right? If I kill you, it'll be mine. I don't think I need you to give it to me anymore! "
"No, no, no … Lord, those are just ordinary resources. I have more hidden in the Outland. If you let me go, I'll give them to you as well. Moreover, if you insist on killing me, I'll detonate the last of my soul. You won't get anything from my mind … "Natague shouted himself hoarse. He wanted to show that he was not afraid of death, but at the same time, he wanted to be careful not to annoy the other party.
"That's not enough … You're a Rank 3 Bloodline Magus. This is definitely not enough to redeem yourself!"
"My Lord … I have a temporary inter-plane teleportation formation in my ring. With it, you won't have to worry about leaving this damned plane!" Natagu desperately tried to show his value.
"Still not enough …" Grimm shook his head.
"Then … Lord Grimm, this lowly one is willing to serve you! As long as you don't kill me, I'll sign a service contract with you and become your Rank 3 servant. You see, with a Rank 3 fighter … That should be enough to satisfy you, right? "For the sake of his life, Natagu was practically servile.
"A service contract? A Rank 3 servant? "Grimm could not help but mutter to himself, seemingly tempted.
"That's right, that's right. This lowly one will release the restriction on my soul and let you leave your soul mark. You won't suspect me anymore, right?" Natagu released the restriction without hesitation.
Grimm could sense that Natagu's soul no longer had any restrictions on him. As long as he wanted to, he could leave his own soul mark. At that time, Natagu's life would be in his hands, and Natagu would definitely listen to him without the slightest bit of disobedience.
Grimm chuckled.
"Hmph. Natagu, did you ever think that this day would come when you were chasing me? I didn't provoke you, yet you traveled hundreds of millions of miles from the Outland to kill me. Now, you've become my captive. Don't you think you're despicable? "
"Despicable … This lowly one is despicable! This lowly one shouldn't have listened to that old witch and come to this damned place to find trouble with you. Otherwise, this lowly one wouldn't have ended up like this. It's all because this lowly one didn't know the right person and was unlucky. You can't blame me, my Lord! "It was obvious that Natagu was willing to give up all his dignity in order to survive.
"Hmph …"
Not bothering to argue with such a shameless person, Grimm stretched out his finger and condensed a trace of flame energy. He then slowly extended it towards Natagu on the tree stump.
Natagu had a ring on his waist. He carefully watched as the finger approached. After confirming that it was only a trace of a soul mark, he closed his eyes and waited for the pain in the depths of his soul.
Any changes to the soul would have terrible consequences for the person involved. If he wasn't forced to do so, how could Natagu accept such a humiliating and harsh condition? At this moment, he was like a fish on a chopping block. He had no other choice.
However, just as his finger was about to touch Natagu's forehead, Grimm's eyes flashed. A violent and pure flame energy rushed out of his finger and madly entered Natagu's body. In the blink of an eye, Natagu became five or six times bigger than before.
"Why … Why …" Natagu felt that this sudden change was inconceivable.
He had already compromised to this extent, but the other party still wanted to kill him. Why? He could not figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it.
"Hmph, if I was a rank 4 Magus, I would definitely accept your surrender. But I'm sorry, I'm only rank 3 … "
Natagu could no longer hear the latter half of Grimm's explanation. With a loud bang, the pocket-sized Natagu exploded into minced meat and blood. Before it could fly out, it was burned into nothingness by Grimm's Burning Domain.
As for the remnant soul, Grimm took out a blank Soul Gathering Crystal and stored it away.
Although the soul of a Rank 3 Magus was a little damaged, it was still possible to extract valuable knowledge and secrets from it. Moreover, Natagu had intentionally split his soul to escape, so all the valuable things were naturally wrapped up in it. Now, Grimm was able to take them all.
After destroying the last of Natagu's' blood essence 'and collecting his broken soul, he put away the storage ring. After doing all this, Grimm closed his eyes and sensed for a moment. With the help of the A.I. Chip, he made sure that he did not miss anything. Only then did he fly to the sky and meet up with Armes. They turned around and flew back to Gansus Volcano.
Moments later, when Grimm returned to Gansus Volcano, the summoning of the rank 3 Thunder Dragon was about to end.
Although Grimm's spiritual force had increased, he could maintain the summoning for a longer period of time. However, after nearly an hour of battle and pursuit, Armes was still sent back to the Lance Plane by the power of laws.
Sindar was already waiting at the mouth of the volcano. The Psionic Warlock was unconscious on the ground.
He could still sense a weak life force in her body. She was not truly dead.
"Why didn't you kill her?" Grimm asked curiously, coughing violently as he asked.
The losses he had suffered in the previous battle were far too heavy. Although he had won the battle, his body had been completely destroyed. It would take at least a dozen years of recuperation to recover. It was for no other reason than the fact that the battle had severely damaged the source of his soul.
Injuries to the soul were the hardest to recover from.
"She's a rank 3 Magus, and she's a rather unorthodox psionic ability user. Are you sure you want to kill her just like that?" The Flaming Tiger winked like a human. It was obvious that he could not understand how a human could easily kill a high-ranked 'Magus'.
There was indeed a lot of killing and battles in the Fire Elemental Plane, but most of them were limited to low-ranked flame creatures that had no intelligence. If a flame creature had intelligence, they would not easily kill each other no matter how low their rank was.
This was the main reason why the Fire Elemental Plane was so powerful.
In the eyes of Magi like Grimm, even if it was their own kind, as long as it stood in their way, they would not hesitate to get rid of it. They would not show mercy just because it was their own kind.
"If I don't kill her, am I supposed to keep her around to deal with me? High-ranked Magi like her have many ways to avoid soul restraints. On top of that, she has a Great Witch backing her up. Even a soul contract might not be able to control her. Once that Great Witch removes the restraints on her soul, I'll lose everything. I'll have another powerful enemy! "
Obviously, Grimm had thought about this issue for a long time, so he never had the idea of forcibly enslaving them. If the Great Witch stealthily instigated him to betray her, wouldn't everything here have no secrets to speak of in front of the Great Witch?
Hence, without hesitation, Grimm shot out a fireball, burning the unconscious Beneja to ashes. Of course, all the Wizard equipment and storage rings on the other party's body were taken off and kept in his bag.
The strange amethyst on Beneja's forehead became part of Sindar's collection.
According to the A.I. Chip's scan, it was a powerful rank 3 Magus weapon. It was no wonder that Sindar was so interested in it.
With his spoils of war, Sindar returned to the Fire Elemental Plane in satisfaction.
The moment he pulled open a door of fire and was about to leave, Sindar turned around and shouted at Grimm.
