Age of Adepts

Three days later.

Rayne Witch Tower public arena.

The news about the duel between the Kamala and Crimson Families had long been spreading in the Raine Witch Tower, and it had become the most popular topic in everyone's daily pastime.

As the internal information of the two families were revealed little by little, the inside story of the duel was gradually revealed to more and more people.

The Kamala family possessed a powerful 3rd rank sorcerer!

The suing death raven Yurga... this terrifying name in the middle of the continent was even able to stop children from crying at night and could make witches wince.

Although Yurga's strength wasn't the best among the 3rd ranked sorcerers in the middle of the continent, but with that terrifying death ray, it wasn't something that other 3rd ranked sorcerers dared to easily provoke.

Once the death ray's 'death gaze' effect was triggered, then Yurga was simply a man stopping a man and a Buddha stopping a man, just like a 3rd rank elite sorcerer!

On the other hand, the Crimson Family was a new wizard family that had just risen to prominence, and there had yet to be any 3rd rank wizards registered with the Association within the family. This meant that the Crimson Family would most likely be forced to face the 3rd ranked Yurga with a 2nd ranked sorcerer.

Using a 2nd rank against a 3rd rank... was there any point to such a duel?

Or the Crimson Family would just concede defeat and pay out large amounts of magic crystals to compensate for the other side's losses, or send that Worm Wizard Billis to end this meaningless 'farce' with the death of his subordinates!

For the Crimson Family to have suffered such a clear injustice, no wizard would speak up for it.

The family's hard power was part of the family's strength, and what about the family's soft power?

The Crimson had been hard horses for everything since their creation, but had never begrudgingly contacted the Diaspora Tallinn Society. Now it had taken a sore loss, which was not really expected by the Wizards.

In the middle of the continent, in addition to working hard to improve their hard power, the witch families also needed to have a good relationship with the association, and it was best to find one or two association elders who represented their family's interests in it, only in this way could they ensure the family's smooth development and growth.

The Crimson Family's patriarch, however, was a frosty young man who not only didn't find himself any patron, but also more or less offended those elders of the association in many matters.

The so-called association elders were all great figures of the 4th stage, so naturally, they wouldn't come to make things difficult for a 2nd stage sorcerer. However, a lot of unpredictable troubles of all sizes pestered the Crimson Family as a result, leaving them exhausted.

At the appointed time, the two sides finally converged once again within the public arena.

The tall stands surrounding the arena were densely packed with many witches and apprentices who had come to watch the battle.

Representing the Association's disciplinary department, the Laurien Wizard was the first to walk onto the field and loudly announce the cause of the duel.

"Yurga, you're the only one from your Kamala family, so it looks like you'll be the one to represent the Kamala family in the battle?"

"Yes!"

With a response, Yorga's black robe shuddered and his entire body exploded into a cloud of black smoke, floating to the side of the arena and reassembling itself.

"Grim, who are you Crimson Family planning to send to the battle?" The Laurien wizard wondered aloud.

The Worm Witch Billis who was following behind Grim shuddered slightly, not raising his head and gazing calmly at the expressionless Grim.

When Grim's gaze touched with Billis, the Worm Witch couldn't help but cower and lower his head. Instead, Mary responded enthusiastically to Grim's gaze with a leap of faith.

"I...am...representing the Crimson Family in battle!"

However, to everyone's surprise, the young, tough Crimson Family patriarch loudly took on this nine-to-five task and strode into the arena.

"No... Grim, you can't go on by yourself... "Grim's sudden action was clearly somewhat unexpected to Mary, causing her to blush red and rush towards Grim in a desperate attempt.

Unfortunately, her body crashed into an invisible shield that had risen up and was isolated on the outskirts of the arena. No matter how much she attacked and scratched, the blood energy could hardly dig a breach in the solid, dense shield, but instead the energy rippled down, causing Mary's nails to crumble and bleed.

Worm Wizard Billis was startled on the spot.

Honestly, he would probably not be able to guess the situation in front of him even if he had to guess ten more times.

It was impossible to win with a rank 2 versus a rank 3, but instead, the wizard who had entered the arena would become a nine-year old!

With the hatred between the two families, that Yurga Shaman would never show mercy to the Crimson Family Shaman. To be able to kill the other side justly and openly, and to win the family war from this, that Yurga Wizard would definitely do his best.

Leaving Mary and Billis behind, Grim strode over to the side of the arena and confronted that Yurga Wizard.

"Is that you?!" Yurga's withered face was similarly shocked.

Of course, it wasn't that he feared Grim, but... it was impossible to guess what the other party's reason was for doing so.

Was the other party not afraid of death, or was it that the name of the suing raven had become so weak that it was ignored?

Yurga smiled coldly, his entire body slowly floating in the air half ten meters above the ground, a pair of already scarlet pupils had now even become bright red.

"Good... very good... then let's settle our mutual family conflicts here!"

With that said, Yurga's body once again exploded, and the entire left half of the arena was enveloped in a thick, inky black mist. The black fog was rolling and vibrating, so it was hard to see anything inside, and all that could be heard were noisy and piercing croaks, as if the black fog had become the domain of a large flock of dead crows.

Before the battle had even started, this 3rd rank wizard had gathered such an aggressive momentum that he was already acting like he was powerfully crushing Grim!

"You have a lot of guts, little one, but that's not a very wise decision. Now, I'll give you one more minute to prepare, and after one minute, I can announce the duel has begun!" That Laurien Wizard's voice resounded within the arena, clearly not optimistic about Grim either.

With a solemn face, Grim took a deep breath and threw out two Demonic Puppet Crystals one after the other. As they roared and transformed into two terrifying Infernal Demons with a height of 6 meters, Grim also quickly began to transform.

One transformation... Flame Body!

Raging and wild elemental flames spewed out from every pore of Grim's body, forming a hovering pillar of red flame around his body. Grim also quickly transformed from a flesh-and-blood body into a body of elemental flame, his entire body swelling up to 4 meters tall.

A second transformation, the body of an Inferno!

Grim opened his mouth wide and roared loudly.

With the transformation of the elemental attributes of his torso, he transformed from a pure virtual body of flames into a tall inflammatory demon made of huge lava firestones and scalding magma. His entire body even swelled to over 6 meters once again.

For a time, three 6-meter tall terrifying Infernal Demons stood together in a character pestle, causing the entire side of the arena to turn into a huge sea of flames and fire.

And that wasn't all.

As several elemental auras flashed across Grim's body, a layer of translucent and strange boundaries popped out, holding up a terrifying burning field on the periphery of the three Inferno Demons. In an instant, the three Inferno Devils disappeared into the huge sea of fire, and it was difficult to find their traces anymore.

Using the sea of fire against the black mist, for a moment, although the protective shield in the middle of the battlefield had yet to be withdrawn, the terrifying might of the two warring sides were already fighting to a standstill.

Damn, this was the extent that a 2nd rank wizard could reach?

The many sorcerers sitting around the arena stands couldn't help but gawk and talk about it.

Although the intensity of the elemental vibrations on the side of the Yurga Shaman was stronger, it seemed to be an even match on the field, and it was difficult to distinguish between the strong and the weak. After all, the Yurga Witch was also known for its strangeness and viciousness, and it was difficult to compare with the battlefield turret 'Fire Witch' in the creation of a situation.

"Time is up... I declare the duel begins!"

The shield across the middle of the arena disappeared without a sound as the Laurean Wizard announced.

So in the next moment, the tumbling black fog and the raging flames crashed together with a strange sound that made one's teeth sore and legs weak. Within the black mist, countless suicidal crows flapped their black wings and rushed into the sea of fire, quickly annihilating large areas of flames. The sea of fire also rushed in with a terrifying momentum that burned through the vault of the sky, burning a single death-suffering raven to ashes and re-bursting it into the black mist of the sky.

Yurga was invisible in the black mist, his vast mental energy transforming into countless thread-like spiritual tentacles that reached out deep into the sea of fire. As long as he was allowed to find that Grim, with the spiritual pressure of a 3rd rank wizard and the death ray of a suicidal raven, crushing the other party to death was just a matter of an instant.

The lion and the rabbit will do their best too!

The humiliation the Kamala family had suffered earlier was in need of a resounding victory to wash away. Therefore, Yurga would never give that young sorcerer any chance to stall or confront for a while before conceding defeat.

However, to Yurga's surprise, as the strange flame boundary extended, it quickly enveloped the 2-mile wide arena. And in the midst of the burning flames, Yorga also sensed another strange magical power.

The elemental power in Yorga's body suddenly lost its original activity and became somewhat stagnant and difficult to perform. The other party's sea of fire didn't seem to be affected in any way, but instead became more intense and the flames grew more fierce.

Elemental Restraining Boundary?

A layer of gloom was immediately cast over Yorga's thin face.

Damn it, this brat's strength wasn't very good, but his special tactics were truly unpreventable!
