Age of Adepts

The other party used a supernatural object?

This unexpected reality shocked the few witches present to the point where they could hardly contain themselves.

Once upon a time, equipping alchemical items, equipping powerful sorcery tools, and using a large number of sorcery items... this had become the greatest characteristic that distinguished human sorcerers from other intelligent races.

In terms of strength, human sorcerers couldn't compare to ogres....

In terms of physique, human wizards were no match for the vast majority of fierce demons....

In terms of agility, human wizards are no match for Faun elves....

In terms of mental power, human witches couldn't match those born fae....

However, the human sorcerer lived to crush these fierce demons, natural fae, and powerful intelligent races, and became a terrifying ruler above them, by what?

Relying on a large number of alchemical items, sorcery items, magical wizards, and a strong ability to organize and mobilize!

In the eyes of the sorcerers, the elemental creatures mostly refused to use alchemical items.

This is due to their personal preferences, as well as the lack of a systematic and comprehensive alchemy system for the elemental creatures. Some high-ranking and intelligent elemental creatures might look for natural magic gems to serve as battle aids, but large-scale artificially-refined extraordinary items rarely appeared.

Just now, however, that Flame Tiger's temporary violent outburst was clearly borrowed from the magical items of the Lava Giant clan.

This also made the sorcerers in particular find it hard to understand!

But as hard as it was to understand, what was supposed to happen had already happened, and they had no choice but to grimly accept it.

The two sorcerers who had only escaped with Grim's help immediately nodded their thanks to him.

To be honest, the attacks of the 3rd Order Flame Tiger were unlikely to cause them much damage, after all, elemental damage could be diminished or exempted by various means, but only purely physical attacks could not be exempted. Unless... the two sorcerers had a Ghost Scepter or similar sorcery prepared at the time that would allow them to temporarily transform into a Void to avoid physical attacks, they would have to take the full brunt of the Lava Giant's fury!

From the strength of the Lava Giant's violent strike just now, it could be seen that if the two sorcerers hadn't dodged it, it would have taken a month or two of work just to repair their broken bodies afterwards.

At their level, their extremely high physiques made it difficult for serious irreversible damage to their flesh* bodies to occur. But once it did, it would mean very serious consequences.

It should be known that a 3rd rank witch's body was often a fitting physique formed after they had refined it a thousand times and assimilated and tuned it with spiritual fluctuations day and night. Once part of the body was reborn or transplanted, they would have to spend a great deal of time and resources to readjust it to a level that was most compatible with their soul attributes and spirit fluctuations.

In the meantime, the injured sorcerer's battle power inevitably declines!

So from the bottom of their hearts, both Kerak and Dorian were greatly impressed by Grim's righteousness, and even the relationship between the three of them warmed up a lot more than before.

The failure of the initial hunting plan had left several wizards in a somewhat depressed mood, and with a simple greeting, they all returned to the Molten Fire City.

............

Deep in the Lava Sea, Sindar's Lair.

The Flame Tiger roared furiously.

"Damn it, what the hell is your ontology trying to do? Didn't you say a fake fight? Why all the fuss...you made me almost really fall into the hands of a human wizard..."

Sindar's original dark red flowing flame body was covered with dense dark spots that were now wildly bulging and extending. From afar, they looked like pus sores from an animal's body, densely packed, growing larger and larger.

And as the dark patches continued to grow, the flames that were always dazzling and swirling on Xindar's body were somewhat dulled by the erosion, as if they were about to be extinguished.

For the first time in his life, Sindar was sickly and weak, appearing somewhat weak and listless.

It was a toxin... a terrifying toxin that could erode even magical flames!

The flame splitter stood still, its body surging with nearly liquid crimson flames, oblivious to the state of the flaming tiger before it.

"Your Excellency Sindar, you've done well today... I'm sure that under such circumstances, those witches don't think you're still capable of invading the underground mines any time soon!"

"Damn it...what am I saying to you that you don't understand?" The Flame Splitter's calm attitude once again caused Flame Tiger to flare up, "Just now, the other 'you' almost got me killed... I need an explanation from you right now, otherwise... ..."

The flaming tiger pressed forward a few steps, its fanged fire bowl almost resting on top of the flaming billet's body.

"Sir Sindar, I suppose... as cooperative allies, there should be some basic trust between us as well! Before you get carried away with anger, do you want to look underneath you, too?"

Under the body?

Flame Tiger Sindar was slightly startled and lowered his head, only then was he surprised to discover that a complicated and exquisite bizarre witch formation had been etched out on the floor of the lair he had dug out. It was only the fact that several magical nodes and the grooves where the mana circuits were located hadn't been embedded with magic crystals and hadn't been activated that hadn't caught their attention.

"What is this? What did you do to my lair while I was away?" Although the Flame Tiger Sindar had lived several times as many years as Grim, it clearly wasn't good at these bizarre and unpredictable contents of high mysticism, so it also stared at the flaming billet with its huge copper-bell-like burning pupils.

Sindar vowed inwardly that once it sensed half a warning sign of danger, it would attack without mercy, never giving the enemy a chance to plot against it.

"This is a Spirit Gathering Witch Formation... and the basic building block for most witch formations to operate." The face of Grim once again materialized at the face of the Flame Splitter: "If you want to recover quickly from your injuries, it will be ten times faster with the help of this Gathering Witch Formation..."

Sindar lowered its head and sniffed a few times above the wizarding formation.

Although it did not understand such fine and subtle things, as a high-ranked flame creature, it possessed a dangerous intuition that other beings could hardly match. Inside the criss-crossed and covered with strange and mysterious runes of the Witch Formation, it did not detect the 'smell' of danger!

Instead, this witch formation gave it a strange feeling of peace of mind and enchantment.

"Activate it! You've been warned not to make any backstabbing..."

The Flame Splitter opened its mouth and spat out a storage ring, pouring out a pile of magic crystals from it, then carefully embedded them into the node circuit of the gathering sorcery formation.

As the magical energy flowed in series in the node circuit, a sorcery rune imbued with mystical power was lit up and combined to form a small sorcery light array that covered the entire lair.

When the witch array was activated, the amount of fire elements scattered throughout the entire space environment came like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, instantly raising the concentration of fire elements within the lair by more than ten times. And with the operation of the witch formation, more and more fire elements were gathered, and there was even a mist of dark red flames inside the lair.

Flame Tiger Sindar tried to breathe.

The dense and pure fire elemental particles had begun to transform into flame energy, absorbing it far more easily than the 'free' fire element that was free in space.

Absorbing the fire element like this, even without the Spirit Gathering Witch Formation, Sindar could do it. But that was by virtue of purely its own elemental instincts, far less efficient than the Spirit Gathering Sorcerer Formation.

Sindar estimated that breathing and vomiting the fire element in this kind of Spirit Gathering Sorcerer Formation was 20 to 30 times faster than the accumulation of its own instinctual talent. That meant that a day of sleeping here was worth a month of its original accumulation!

As soon as it found out that it was beneficial to itself, it immediately found the most comfortable place in the witch array and lay down, stretching its waist comfortably.

When thousands of red dots swallowed into its body, the poisonous elements that had plagued it for a long time began to shrink and disappear under the repeated washing of the flame energy. The dark green spots became smaller and smaller, and its body once again became red and shiny, fresh and active.

Even the damage to its body from the battle just now began to slowly heal and solidify as the fire elements hoarded in succession.

Based on this trend, the damage caused by the last battle could be repaired within three days!

The Flame Splitter slowly scanned and probed the Flame Tiger's body structure while manipulating the Spirit Gathering Sorcerer Formation.

Normally, such an operation would undoubtedly trigger the Flame Tiger's hostility and counterattack. However, at this moment, with the help of the Gathering Spirit Sorcerer Formation as a bridge, Grim's spirit scan finally broke through the distorted force field on the Flame Tiger's surface and collected some relevant data on its own body.

Flame Tiger, 3rd rank advanced, elemental creature (flame), body base data: strength > 21 physique > 30 agility > 21 spirit > 38, racial talent: body of flame....

In terms of basic data, the Flame Tiger Sindar no longer had an overwhelming advantage against Grim. Although its physical qualities were still superior to Grim's, Grim even had a slight advantage when things like sorcery and sorcery items were taken into account.

After all, it wasn't the body that made human sorcerers strong, it was their minds!

"Drops, Flame Tiger biomodel established...data collection in progress..."

"Target biological core data is in Vital Field protection, data collection failed..."

"It is being scanned for superficial body structures..."

As a free creature, Flame Tiger Sindar naturally couldn't let go of his mental protection and allow Grim to do whatever he wanted. Therefore, he could only collect the data and information he wanted through the chip's scanning light waves and his own spiritual perception from the energy breath and energy exchange that unconsciously emanated from the other party.

In this way, although he could not get an extremely accurate and perfect body model, he was able to create a slightly vague template for the Flame Tiger's construction.

In Grim Flame Splitter's mind, a three-dimensional, three-dimensional model of the Flame of Light Tiger slowly emerged....
