Age of Adepts

As agreed beforehand, there will be a battle between Flaming Tiger Sindar and Grim!

Moreover, they also needed this battle to serve as a respite from the whole incident.

Therefore, after seeing Grim's actions, Flame Tiger Sindar also went all out to gaze at it.

But when it witnessed the powerful sorcery that emerged outward from Grim's body one after another, Flame Tiger Sindar's heart was no longer so certain.

Once upon a time, in the Fire Elemental Plane, it played with the opponent like an old cat playing with a mouse, and the opponent's every move could not escape its control. But today, it was the same Fire Witch, and when the cohesive and unified strength burst out from the opponent's body, Flame Tiger Sindar was a bit unsettled.

Counting on the fingers, it had only been ten years, but the other party had grown to this extent as if he was a different person?

Just as Xindar's heart trembled, the distant Grim's body condensed into a flame armor, which was densely decorated with magical patterns, faintly transmitting a heart-shaking and powerful momentum.

Oppressed by Grim's powerful momentum, Xindar was not willing to show weakness, and with a few roars, his entire body rapidly expanded as if it had been inflated. Originally only 3 meters long, it had now swelled to over 5 meters, and its violent momentum had grown and boiled up together.

Seeing that the two in the distance had struck true fire and were somewhat about to fight for their lives, the Unid Witch who had dived to the near side hurriedly concealed her form and silently began to prepare her masterful sealing technique.

She also knew that it was impossible for her arrival to conceal her senses from the flaming tiger.

However, as long as she didn't get too close to the battlefield, the Flame Tiger clearly boasted of its strength and wasn't willing to flee in a mess in front of the human witch.

As long as she grasped this mentality, she might still have a chance to capture this Flame Tiger today....

However, just as this thought surfaced for her, a grand and vast powerful will descended upon this area. For a moment, the boiling and violent lava sea seemed to pause for an inscrutable moment, before it continued to vastly continue to surge forward.

The three 'people' present were instantly locked in that will.

One second, the Flame Tiger Sindar, which was so fierce that it looked like it was rubbing its fists, the next second, it had already gathered all its momentum, and like a frightened little beast, it tucked its tail between its legs and swiftly disappeared into the depths of the lava sea.

Looking at its fleeing appearance, there was no turning back this time!

Grim, who had just finished preparing for battle and lost his opponent in pain, couldn't help but be startled, his bursting will to fight and that grand will instantly withered like an electric shock at the slightest contact.

4th rank... this was the spiritual perception of a 4th rank wizard!

It took less than 0.1 seconds for Grim to understand the source of the grand will, and hurriedly restrained his mental fluctuations and guarded his mind tightly, no longer daring to contend with that will.

That grand will was like a flowing ocean of spirit, rapidly sweeping across the field.

When his spiritual touch caught sight of the traces of flames left by the Flame Tiger Sindar as he quickly fled, an icy snort of anger faintly emitted from the void space. But immediately this spiritual ocean shifted its attention to Grim and Unid, especially Grim in particular.

"You... are the guests that Kerak invited?"

Silently, a mental wave entered the two men's brains, causing a cold, dry male voice to ring out in their heads.

"Meet Lord Alfred! I'm Unid from the Horn family..." the Unid witch, although always arrogant, didn't dare to take it lightly in front of a reclusive 4th rank wizard, and answered the question respectfully, looking like an apprentice meeting a formal wizard.

"Meet Lord Alfred! I am Grim from the Crimson Family..." and Grim hurried to salute respectfully. Although the other party didn't really come here, but in the area where his powerful will was enveloping, the other party could see what he was doing at a glance.

Although Grim had never met this Melting Fire City Lord before, he had done some research before coming here.

Seriously speaking, this Alfred Wizard was also a powerful wizard who had survived from the grassroots, specializing in sonic sorcery, and his natural attribute was rather unorthodox. But that didn't prevent him from steadily progressing step by step, spending six hundred years to smoothly become a 4th stage wizard.

At this point, most of the ordinary wizard resources were useless to him, and the resources he needed could only be gathered slowly from the world of thousands of bits. Although it was widely rumored that he was hidden within the Sorcerer's Tower in Molten Fire City, it was always a question as to whether he was there or not!

It should be known that many high-ranking sorcerers would set up their soul branding in their private witch tower and then sneak out to explore the endless bit worlds. The reason for concealing his tracks externally was to avoid those enemies from coming to seek revenge while he was away from the witch tower.

In this way, the situation naturally had both good and bad!

When his enemies don't know his itinerary, they won't dare to come to his door. However, once you get trapped in a dangerous place or ancient ruins while exploring the surface world, it is very difficult to find someone to rescue you.

So in the middle of the continent, where there are many powerful people, there are often powerful sorcerers from certain families who have been in seclusion for decades. It wasn't until the family managed to break into the Tower upon hearing the news that the brand of soul they left behind had shattered and vanished.

And once such news leaked out, it would most likely cause a drastic change in the family's power ranking.

After all, many sorcerer families were supported by a strong core sorcerer, and if something happened to this core sorcerer, it was common for the entire family to collapse.

This could be seen from the Vick family, who were born as vampires.

Even if the family has suffered a big blow, as long as the old vampire Hynes Vick is still around, the family will be able to revive one day. But once Hynes Vik became the captive of Crimson Family, without Grim's action, the other vampire families who were eyeing around would make the Vik family fall apart in no time.

So for this Lord of Molten Fire City, a powerful 4th stage wizard, who hadn't shown his face for over a decade, Grim had originally speculated if he was stranded somewhere in the Bit World. But now, sensing the vast sea of spirit that was comprehensively overpowering him, he immediately dispelled any thoughts that he shouldn't have, and honestly collected all his pride and offered his respect to the other party.

"A foreign beast from the fire elemental plane? Oh, I didn't expect my Molten Fire City to be quite lively while I was away......hard work for you two, come back first! I guess that foreign beast doesn't dare to appear anymore!" That Alfred Wizard's cold voice boomed like thunder in this sea of lava, and also made Grim and Yunid fearful.

Grim was even more filled with luck that he had just placed the storage ring with a large amount of resources on the body of the flame billet. If those 'stolen goods' were still on their bodies, it would have been difficult to hide them from this powerful 4th rank's pervasive spiritual perception.

Although the things hidden in the storage ring were undetectable, such a thing might hold true for an ordinary sorcerer, but not necessarily for an 'old monster' like a 4th rank sorcerer!

Ghost knows if this 4th rank wizard has the strange ability to detect the Constant Gold Ingot and Quillus Alloy through the air. Once he discovered that Grim had such things on him, I'm afraid that it would be difficult for Grim to step out of the gates of Molten Fire City.

Having received the invitation from the Lord of Melting Fire City, Grim and Unid looked at each other and hurriedly returned to the underground passage.

At the entrance of the underground passage, the Kerak Wizard was already waiting here.

Seeing the two of them smoothly return, the Kerak Wizard took a step forward and smiled, "Please come with me, our city lord wants to meet you!"

The sudden return of the city lord who hadn't shown his face for ten years was supposed to be a great good thing, but there was no hint of joy on Kerak's face, and even the smile he had just now was barely there.

The Unid witch did not know the true inside story, and was naturally a little puzzled inside, but she did not ask any questions. On the other hand, Grim also pretended not to know, his face didn't move.

The place where Alfred met them was located in the upper level of Molten Fire City, within a special stone room.

The arrangement inside the stone room was simple and plain, and the wizard was wearing a grey witch robe and sitting on a stone chair. When a few people stepped into the room, the Alfred Sorcerer opened his eyes and his gaze fell on Grim and Eunice, and the two sorcerers couldn't help but sweat a little on their foreheads.

At their level, one step higher would mean a ten or twenty-fold increase in strength. Not to mention going down against each other, even the ordinary gaze of the other party could make the two of them perceive a powerful force pressing down on them.

And this kind of mental pressure ignored defense and ignored magic resistance and was only related to the individual's mental toughness.

Therefore Grim and Unid were standing in front of each other as if they were sitting on pins and needles, full of uncomfortable feelings.

Grim had also had the intention to peek at this Alfred Wizard's appearance, but unfortunately, his spirit perception and chip detection waves were both suppressed by an invisible force within his body, unable to extend out at all. Under such circumstances, he could only rely on his naked eye to control everything around him.

Unfortunately, there was a cloud of luminescence emanating from that Alfred Wizard's face, making it impossible for Grim to see his true appearance.

The Alfred Wizard didn't care at all about Grim's prying eyes, and didn't really need to.

He sized up the two for a moment and finally spoke coldly.

"You've done well today... Kerak, the quests you've issued can now be handled as completed, send them away once the quest rewards are collected!"

"Yes!" Kairak, who was following behind the two, even agreed.

"But...but that flaming tiger hasn't been caught yet?" The Unid witch was slightly startled.

Grim also had a startled look on his face that was knowingly organic.

"It's nothing, just a small exotic beast, we'll deal with it ourselves in Molten Fire City! You two can leave after receiving your rewards, we still have some personal matters to deal with in Melting Fire City, so we won't keep you two long..."

Having said that, the two witches also heard the meaning of eviction from the words of the 4th rank witch, so naturally it was not easy to force them to stay. Although they didn't understand why they were expelled after only half of the mission was completed, they could guess that something must have gone wrong within the Molten Fire City.

Thus Grim and Unid followed Kerak and hurriedly collected the reward promised beforehand, and also hurried to Oz City with a team escorting them.
