The stranger who stepped into the cave with Itariel was unusually tall.
A thick black hooded cloak covered most of the stranger's body. Not even an inch of his skin was exposed.
Under the shadow of the drooping hood, a pair of eyes full of strange 'power' shone. All the witches who looked at him could not help but turn their heads to avoid his eyes. Some of the weaker witches even felt their eyes stinging. Tears streamed down their faces, and their eyes were so blurry that they could not see anything.
Although they were shocked, the witches' reactions were surprisingly calm, and there was even a hint of joy.
Although they did not know the identity of the stranger, the power he used was obviously from the witchcraft system.
This was the main reason why the witches felt a sense of relief!
"Sisters, put away your staffs! Please allow me to introduce you to a distinguished guest … "Itariel was usually an old and prudent middle-aged witch, but at this moment, there was a hint of excitement on her face.
However, before she could continue, the tall and thin witch Tess had already walked out of the crowd and said calmly, "This must be Lord Grim from the Crimson Family!"
Under the shadow of the hood, the stranger showed a strange smile and said loudly, "It's an honor to meet you, Lady Tess!"
As the newcomer took off his hood, a handsome man's face appeared in front of everyone.
The contours of his face were distinct, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, his eyebrows were thick, his strange black eyes were full of majesty, and his dark red hair was draped over his shoulders … On the whole, his face could not be considered handsome, it could only be considered ordinary.
However, the powerful eyes that contained power, and the strong self-confidence that emanated from the corners of his eyebrows gave this face a strange sense of beauty.
As a grade 3 witch, Tess could naturally see and feel more than the other witches.
She 'saw' very clearly that the other party had a pair of powerful black pupils. Around the black pupils, there were tiny dark red spots that looked like tiny fiery diamonds. Even with Tess' mental resistance, she could still feel a trace of burning pain when she looked at the stranger. This meant that the powerful flame power in the stranger's body could already rely on the projection of consciousness to transmit power.
His dark red hair wasn't his original hair color either. Instead, it was the result of the overpowering power of the flames in his body that leaked out unintentionally. If the stranger could surpass the elemental stage and step into the realm of laws, these external manifestations would naturally be eliminated.
However, those who could flexibly use the power of laws were great wizards who had surpassed the limit, and it was only possible for them to do so at least at grade 5. In the Sorcerer World, the respected grade 4 wizards could only touch the surface of the laws, and there was still a long way to go before they could truly control the laws.
When the witches heard Tess call out the stranger's name and saw his face with their own eyes, they finally understood.
Five years ago, when Rena crossed the Dimensional Crack, she was accompanied by Witch Itariel and a fellow who was invited from the outside world. It seemed to be the Legendary Fire Wizard in front of him.
According to Tess's private analysis, 70% of the reason for the failure of their rescue operation this time was probably because of this legendary Fire Wizard. Especially after Witches Itariel described in detail the war that had erupted in Gansus City, the witches were even more convinced of their speculation.
During their escape, the witches had also heard about the abnormality that happened at Gansus Volcano.
However, the holy knights were too close in pursuit, and the area around Gansus Volcano was tightly sealed by the Zambez Empire, so it was difficult for the witches to infiltrate. Therefore, they could not investigate the situation there in detail.
However, through capturing and seducing a few holy knights, the Deception Witches still figured out everything that happened at Gansus Volcano. A few wizards who came from another world were fighting there, but they could not do anything to each other, so they could only helplessly confront each other.
Hearing this news, the Deception Witches' hearts were filled with resentment and depression.
Even though they did not understand the reason, they could vaguely guess that this' undeserved disaster 'was probably related to these strange wizards who came from another world. As for the legendary fire wizard who provoked them, he naturally became the target of the witches' hatred.
Therefore, when they suddenly saw this' victim 'today, the faces of the Deception Witches could not help but turn sour.
Witch Tess' face was gloomy, and she said coldly, "Sir Grim, seeing the situation of the Deception Witches, I'm afraid you have to say something, right?"
Grimm rubbed his nose awkwardly and said with a bitter smile, "Sir Tess, in this whole thing, I'm also a victim!"
Tess was angry, and she was about to say something, but Witch Itariel next to her stopped her.
"Tess, let bygones be bygones. Now is the time for us to help each other. Mister Grim has brought us some good news. I think it's best if you listen to it first! "
"What news?"
"…" Grim looked around and hesitated for a moment.
"You can say it here. We are all sisters who have gone through life and death together. There is no need to hide it from them!" Tess said coldly.
Itariel, who was standing at the side, once again showed a look of anger, but also helplessness.
Grim did not care. He simply looked around at the witches and said softly, "I have a way to leave Envik Plane … But, there are only four places!"
The air in the cave suddenly became stagnant.
Hearing the first half of Grim's words, all the witches could not help but show a look of surprise and joy. However, when they heard that there were only four places, they all showed a look of disappointment and indignation.
"You have a one-time-use inter-plane teleportation circle?" Witch Tess was obviously an experienced witch, and she could roughly guess the truth from Grim's words.
"Yes! There are only 4 teleportation slots, and I need to take up 2 of them! "There was no need to hide this, so Grimm told the truth.
If he wanted to return to the Wizard World, he needed to take up one of the places, and the other one was reserved for the old poisonous woman that Remy had created.
Remy was a part of Grim's Soul Equipment, so he could keep it in his body during the teleportation. However, the old poisonous woman was a true grade 3 plague creature, so she could not enjoy the same treatment as Remy.
This meant that Grim could only take two Deceit Witches with him this time.
Seeing how enthusiastic Itariel was, it was obvious that as a grade 3 witch, she had already decided on one of the places in her heart. After some deductions, there was only one place left for the witches in front of him!
Moreover, with the selfishness and self-interest of the Wizards, there was no way they would give up two life-saving places to the Deceit Witches for free.
According to Grim's original plan, the ones who could return with him were naturally two grade 3 witches. That was the only way to minimize the damage to the Deceit Witches caused by the failure of the Planar War.
As for the witches who stayed behind, they just had to hide and wait for the next rescue team sent by the Deceit Witches to return to the Wizard World. However, the highest grade of the witches left behind was only grade 2, and it was unknown whether the families would be willing to pay such a huge price to bring them back.
Therefore, if they missed this opportunity, the witches who stayed behind would face the great risk of dying in Envik Plane.
Without the help of other planes, without anyone to communicate with, they would be hunted down by the Holy Knights for the rest of their lives … This was the terrifying future that they could foresee!
"Rena is over there …" Tess raised her hand and pointed to the east through the gloomy cave.
"Rena?" Grim asked doubtfully. He did not expect that the grade 2 witch who fell into the hands of the Zambiz Empire was still alive.
Beside him, Itariel explained in a low voice.
Rena was currently imprisoned in Blackhill City in the east.
She had now become the most biting traitor in the hands of the Holy Knights. Information about the Deceiving Witches and their internal secrets were constantly leaked to the Holy Knights. It was because of the information that she provided that the Holy Knights were able to chase after the Deceit Witches with such precision.
In order to hunt down the remaining witches, the Holy Knights brought Rena from the capital to Blackhill City. With her familiarity with the habits of the Deceit Witches and their daily interactions, they gradually squeezed out the living space of the witches.
It could be said that the hatred that the witches had for Rena was second only to the Holy Knights who were chasing after them!
After a heated discussion among the witches, both sides finally reached an agreement to help each other.
Grim would free up two teleportation slots for the Deceit Witches, and the Deceit Witches would have to help him deal a heavy blow to the Holy Knights. However, to Grim's surprise, one of the two people the witches had come up with was Itariel, while the other was a talented Tier 1 Sorceress.
Tess actually refused to leave!
She also proposed to gather the witches and Grim's power to go to Blackhill City to rescue Rena.
Of course, this caused all the witches to protest, but when Tess gave the reason, all the witches became silent again.
Naturally, Tess refused to leave to increase the number of remaining witches.
Otherwise, there would only be a group of level 1 and 2 witches left in the Envik Dimension. Whether or not they could resist the pursuit of the Holy Knights was one thing, and whether or not the family would be willing to pay a huge price to bring them back was another matter!
If Tess stayed, then considering the value of a grade 3 witch, the possibility of the family rescuing her would be greatly increased. Of course, if Itariel was willing to stay, the witches would be even more confident.
But everyone knew that it was impossible!
As for rescuing Rena, it was the same consideration.
