Age of Adepts

Eye demons are evil and twisted creatures.

They possess powerful mental abilities and are adept at controlling intelligent creatures with mind-based spells to act as their servants. And each of the many eye stalks on their bodies can excite* magic rays with different properties, which are not only incredibly lethal, but also instantaneous.

Since the Eye Demon's bizarre flesh-ball body came with an anti-gravity force field, it was able to float in mid-air with ease. The large one-eye in the middle of its flesh-ball body was also able to inspire a 'Light of Temptation' that could instantly take control of the enemy's body.

Therefore, a powerful Eye Demon would often enslave hundreds of slaves to create a safe lair for itself. And it would become the ruler of this lair, controlling the life and death of every single subordinate or slave.

As soon as they saw the appearance of the 3rd rank Eye Demon, several Crimson Family's 2nd rank immediately retreated back into the fortress and began to negotiate nervously.

If it was just an ordinary 3rd rank demon coming, they might be able to keep it out with a concerted effort.

But when faced with a terrifying Tier 3 Eye Demon, all Crimson Sorcerers lost their confidence in victory.

It was Tigure's voice that was the loudest among all the 2-stars.

"Zacha, before coming here Meryl repeatedly explained that you are the main focus here. Tell me, how else do we fight this battle? You wouldn't be so foolish as to fight that 3rd rank Eye Demon with your 2nd rank body, would you? It's a 3rd class, and it's an Eye Demon! I'm afraid you've just gotten close to the other side, and you've been bewitched by it and become its newest servant..."

It was no wonder that Goblin Tigure was so afraid of the Eye Demon.

The goblin clan was not known for its mental strength, and out of the many 2nd rank present, only goblin Tigure was fighting as a 1st rank senior at the helm of a magic weapon. Therefore, it was simply terrified of the opponent's mental abilities.

Don't look at the Goblin Tearer's incredibly high physical defense and good magic resistance, but it was the only one that couldn't defend against this invisible and shadowless spiritual ability.

It and Dragonman Zacha, who has muscles and not much spiritual resistance, are looking for death when they get close to the Eye Demon. The opponent only needed to order them to commit suicide, and they would be killed without any bloodshed.

As the distant Eye Demon slowly stepped into the battlefield with a terrifying momentum, the atmosphere within the city fortress instantly became stagnant.

The many lords and goblins within the fortress were all agitated.

In case the situation was critical and the witches had the means to flee the place, how could the remaining group of them, a group of ordinary people and a group of weak sorcerer apprentices, be able to stop the onslaught of the herd?

As hearts were floating and people were on tenterhooks, a calm, strong male voice suddenly sounded in Dragonman Zacha's ear.

"Zacha, help me locate it, I'm going to teleport over!"

It's Grim...it's the Lord of the House!

A hint of joy immediately appeared on Dragonman Zacha's indigo-colored majestic face.

It roared and took a step forward, yanking a metal round plate from its neck to hold in its hand, condensing violent lightning power into it.

As the metal disc became brighter and brighter as it absorbed the lightning power, it almost instantly became crimson hot, burning the flesh and blood of the dragonman's hands. But even so, the dragonman did not throw down the metal round plate, but held it tightly in his hands and held it in front of him.

A moment later, an arcane and mysterious fantasy light formation escaped from the metal disc and gently trembled the void in its own way.

Flame Teleportation Rune!

The Crimson Family 2nd Order present were not those unseen low-level wizards who recognized the nature of this strange light formation almost instantly. And its appearance usually meant that....

As soon as the thoughts of the crowd surfaced in their minds, fire raged in the light formation and a tall, shadowy, illusory figure appeared out of thin air and began to rapidly solidify.

It was the Family Lord... it was the Family Lord!

A deafening cheer instantly erupted within the fortress!

The herd of beasts outside the fortress suddenly stopped in their tracks, hesitantly and fearfully feeling a trembling murderous aura coming over them. The 3rd rank Eye Demon that was floating in the air also stopped its pace, staring in suspicion at the figure that was making it uneasy.

Flame Teleportation!

This was also a flame sorcery that Grim had only mastered after advancing to 3rd level.

Low-tier flame jumping could only be done within visual range, and the farthest distance was only 400 meters. Flame Teleportation, on the other hand, was much farther away, and as long as a Flame Teleportation rune was set within a 200-mile radius, Grim would be able to teleport directly over with his powerful flame strength.

And Meryl had considered this before when she had chosen the Doverland Basin as a battlefield.

Therefore, as soon as Grim, who had been sitting in the White Tower, received the news of the change in the front line, he didn't hesitate to transiently move over.

He wasn't worried about encountering an overly powerful opponent.

After all, the initiative of this war had always been in Meryl's hands.

The daring and careful Meryl had also already mapped out the strength and distribution of the surrounding demon lords long before the beast tide broke out. The existence of this rank 3 Eye Demon was a surprise to the low ranked witches and ordinary lords, but not to the Crimson Highlord.

One of the main reasons why Dragon Zacha had been chosen as the overall commander of this battle was that it had been a soul slave of Grim and had always been loyal. Therefore, the flame teleportation rune for positioning was given to it for safekeeping.

And it had indeed lived up to its promise and had successfully guided Grim over!

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

The flames in front of his eyes finally slowly dissipated.

Grim's vision was once again bright.

Huge spiritual power instantly enveloped the entire Doverland Basin, allowing Grim to grasp the situation here in a matter of moments. And his spirit power unsurprisingly collided with the evil and cold spirit of the Eye Demon.

Grim raised his head and collided with the Eye Demon's steeply opened one-eye across the high fortress wall, a distance of over 3,000 meters, and countless strange beasts.

Grim's tall body immediately soared with a reddish red tumbling flame, but it seemed to be wrapped with a layer of blue-white evil will inside the flame, making him also couldn't help but lightly shiver a cold war.

The eye of the devil floating in the air floating flesh body surface is inexplicably a scorch marks, many snake-like tentacles at the end of a ray of different colors of magic, hit his own body before the strange magic flames dispersed.

Grim frowned, raising the output of some of the flame energy, before using the high temperature characteristics of the burning field to completely dispel the evil will.

The two sides had only fought across the sky, and they had already deeply comprehended each other's strength, and their looks were stiff and cold.

If Grim only had these means, when fighting that Eyed Demon to the death, it was really hard to predict who would die. But the current Grim, who had already consolidated his spirit and possessed several powerful killer weapons, would not be afraid of the challenge of a rank 3 Eye Demon.

Under the adoring gazes of the crowd, Grim laughed and strode towards the Eye Demon with his body in the air.

As he moved forward, Grim quickly armed himself.

The Burning Sun Corona Magic Crown, Flame Emblem Arm Ring, Dauntless Belt, Boots of Ashes, Fire Dragon Spitting Pendant, the five 2nd ranked witch weapons simultaneously overflowed with a surging and stirring flame breath, and fused with Grim's soul breath, condensing a vast and strange red boundary on his body.

As Grim moved forward, this layer of flame boundary also swiftly enveloped the many beasts and ferocious birds around the city fortress.

After advancing to level 3, the flame boundary had been upgraded to a burning field, and the resulting magical damage was incredibly high. As soon as the Burning Field that covered a range of 500 meters appeared, it brought a devastating disaster to the herd of beasts.

All the beasts and ferocious birds covered by the red boundary, before they could turn around and escape from the boundary, a violent and unparalleled flame energy gushed out from their facial features and body pores, burning them into a pile of charcoal in an instant.

Ordinary beasts and fierce birds have no magic resistance, not even a flex of the finger to resist the ashes. The powerful demons were only a little better than them, holding on for 3-5 seconds before dying a painful death.

Only those rank 1 or 2 demons that were lucky enough to be at the edge of the burning field were able to save their lives by shrieking in pain.

Faced with such a terrifying humanoid volcano, the herd of beasts that had just bravely fought their way forward was suddenly in disorder, fleeing away to the distance, leaving the battlefield in the middle of the basin to the two rank 3 powerhouses.

The Eye Demon watched Grim with such astonishing noise, and also waved and smacked its serpentine eye stalk in a distracted manner, and a colorful magic barrier began to quickly emerge on its fleshy body.

This powerful human sorcerer seemed to be an elemental sorcerer who specialized in flames.

Such a guy's flame sorcery might be powerful and strong, but their bodies were fragile and difficult to compare to a 3rd rank demon. So deep inside, that 3rd rank Eye Demon quickly prepared itself for a close and tangled battle with the opponent.

But before it could carry this tactic forward, the human sorcerer that was striding forward again had some strange changes.

A bizarre puppet the size of a palm suddenly appeared on Grim's shoulder, its body densely covered with strange magical patterns, and a miserable green poisonous aura haunted its side, reflecting its tiny body in an evil and bizarre manner.

The appearance of the Plague Poison Spirit also added another fire poison effect to Grim's burning field.

And that wasn't all.

Grim's large hand raised, and a bizarre elemental magic weapon of 2 meters in height and all-metal construction appeared in front of the crowd.

On it, the crowd could see both the iconic metal body of the metal magic weapon, as well as perceive the strange elemental fluctuations of the elemental puppet. As Grim placed a miniature version of the Magical Motion Furnace inside the Elemental Demonic Armament, its strength changed even more drastically.

The Elemental Demonic Armament seemed to have a small sun stuffed underneath its thick chest, and was now spewing out red flames and searing heat unceasingly. A violent and incomparable amount of pure magical energy flowed out of the magical furnace, lighting up the entire body of the Elemental Demon Armament layer by layer and piece by piece.

The magical iron alloy body, which was already filled with a layer of blue luster, began to turn red hot under the infusion of powerful magical energy, turning it into a huge fireman that no one dared to approach....

Sensing the intensity of the magical energy projected from the giant fireman's body, the 3rd rank Eye Demon's face finally turned ugly!
