Age of Adepts

Still the top of the high cliff.

Mary's slim and tall body was once again revealed.

But compared to the last time's cloudiness and ease, this moment was also a mess for her.

The right hand that punctured Grim's shield was already scorched black, while traces of smoke and fire could be seen everywhere on her delicate body and blood-colored armor. Although such marks only remained on her body for three to five flexes before they slowly faded away in a burst of blood, Mary's pretty little face still showed annoyance.

"Damned burning field..." viciously voiced Mary.

Without this full-covered burning field, it would have been almost impossible for Grim's gaze or spirit-locked sorceries to hit Mary. And those high-powered ranged sorceries, due to their long chanting time, also easily left room for Mary to sneak up on her.

Therefore, Mary whose speed was almost beyond the limit of her mental perception, as long as she didn't bump into Grim's defensive sorcery herself, there was no possibility for Grim to harm her.

Unfortunately, that was all ruined by the damned Burning Field!

As long as the Burning Field existed, Mary would not be able to defeat Grim without damage.

As long as she stepped into Grim's Burning Field, Mary must always gather her Blood Energy to fight against the Burning Field. Once she sensed that the Blood Energy was about to be burned through by the Burning Field, even if she was faced with the best opportunity to attack, Mary would have to give up and withdraw to let the Blood Energy slowly recover before attempting to attack.

And in doing so, it gave Grim the chance to catch his breath and repaired his shield!

Therefore, in Mary's eyes, Grim is like a monster covered with thorns, and if she wants to attack his body, she has to endure the horrible feeling of a thousand thorns piercing her body.

In the past, when she and Grim were allies, she naturally couldn't sense these abominations. But now once she became his 'enemy', Mary, like those enemies in the past, hated Grim's Burning Realm beyond measure.

Fire Resistance Amulet... Crimson Crystal... Flame Flower... Fire Dragon Leather Armor....

After this war, I'll get them even if it costs me everything I have!

As she spat madly inside, Mary spread her wings and stepped on the void, circling around Grim quickly.

She knew that the flames that Grim controlled could add fire poison and ice flame effects at will. If she was accidentally frozen in place by an ice flame, she wouldn't be able to resist the attack with her newly advanced defense.

With the powerful attack power of a 3rd level Fire Witch, 2-3 flexing time would be enough for him to destroy himself without leaving any scraps. Therefore, Mary must carefully choose the angle and position of her assault, and never give the opponent a chance to counterattack.

The entire battle seemed to be dominated by herself, advancing and retreating whenever she wanted, and Grim was almost helpless to do anything about it. But once you make the slightest mistake, this battle of your own face will be over in an instant, with no chance to speak of.

But what chance was there of just spinning around and not advancing? Only by taking a risk time and time again, using your constant strikes to force Grim to show his weaknesses, could you create an opportunity for victory.

But such advances are also double-sided.

Bringing danger to Grim, but also putting herself in danger at all times.

But with Mary's character, how could she shy away from a dangerous challenge.

Like an omnipresent blood ghost, Mary transformed into a blood shadow that was hard to capture with the naked eye, quickly moving through the forest and the void. It was undoubtedly very difficult to continuously capture such a fast flickering blood shadow.

Therefore, whenever Grim was chasing after Mary's blood shadow, if he hesitated for a moment, Mary would shake off his spiritual tracking and burst into the burning field from an unexpected angle, then break into Grim's side and wreak havoc.

Before Grim's spiritual energy was transferred, Mary would escape from the burning field again, and then turn into a blood shadow again in the surrounding void.

Every time this happened, it was when Grim hurriedly replenished his magical shields and Mary urged her blood energy to quickly recover her burned body.

In the absence of sufficient means to 'kill with a single blow', the battle between the two sides could only fall into this kind of boring emptiness. Such attacks continued for several rounds, and both Mary and Grim couldn't help but get a little agitated and bored.

One was a super-sensitive sorcerer who was extremely fast, and the other was a flame sorcerer whose attacks were incredibly powerful....

Both sides had their own strengths and weaknesses, their own specialties, and once they got entangled together, it was really kind of hard to tell them apart.

"Drip, target biodata collection complete..."

"Mary, Level 3 Beginner, Occupational Status: bloodline witch (vampire), Physical Base Data: strength 15 physique 17 agility 31 spirit 21, Occupational Skills: first embrace, blood shackles, ??? ......."

It had to be said that Mary, as a vampire witch, was obviously a bit weak in all the basic body stats, except for her 31 points of agility which was a bit of a 3rd order powerhouse.

Perhaps with some more time to nourish and sharpen her, she could make that data look a little better.

But to presume to challenge Grim with such strength was a bit too much!

Always distracted by the chip's data sampling and collection, Grim had been on the defensive for almost most of the battle. Now that the data collection was complete, there was no point in dragging this battle out any longer.

Thus, without hesitation, Grim exploded with his true power!

Raising her hand and slapping heavily on the fire dragon pendant on her neck, an overwhelming stream of flames spewed out in all directions, instantly gathering most of the emptiness around her into it.

Mary's incarnated blood shadow wove through the rushing flames left and right, almost unharmed, but there were few areas left for her to dodge.

Grim also abruptly turned into a flame and began to frantically chase Mary's blood shadow through the void. The boots of ashes on his feet also ignited into a bright yellow flame, leaving a still-burning flame footprint in the void.

Going after Mary with Grim's 13 points of agility to chase the 31 points of agility was no less than a clumsy seal going around biting dragonflies. It was not at all effective except for a wave of joyous bites.

It seems Mary didn't expect Grim to use such a clumsy method to chase after her, so she got so excited that she ran in front of Grim and teased him to chase after her. Therefore, both sides chased each other in the empty space near the high cliff, burning the already dark sky half red again.

The breath of the two 3rd stage powerhouses clashed freely on the battlefield, and the demons that sneaked into the vicinity to peek, once they sensed the familiar breath, they immediately fled without looking back.

During these years, in order to sharpen his own fighting skills, Grim had not missed scourging the powerful demons in the surrounding Black Forest. Almost all of the somewhat notable 3rd level Demon Lords within a thousand miles of the Flame Throne have been challenged by Grim.

Either the demons were beaten by Grim and abandoned their nests, or Grim was beaten by his opponent and fled back to the Flame Throne. But regardless of the outcome of the battle, Grim was always alone and did not summon any companions, let alone that powerful elemental magic weapon.

Therefore, Grim completely fought off and feared the surrounding demons with his true strength!

And now Grim is even more diversified in his fighting tactics, so how would he make some useless efforts for nothing?

However, Mary knew nothing about these things.

So, just as she was doing her best to tease Grim with the intention of launching a surprise attack on him, she finally stepped into the 'trap'!

In a battle between 3rd ranked powerhouses, although there was no physical contact between the two sides, their mental tentacles were always locked onto the opponent's body. Even if they were occasionally lost, they would quickly re-lock, never giving the opponent a chance to break away from his or her spiritual perception for an extended period of time.

Therefore, under such circumstances, it was extremely difficult to leave a trap for the other party to step into.

But today, under Mary's sight, Grim had 'squarely' dug a trap for her, and Mary had really stepped into it without noticing anything.

The trap was a hidden Flame Witch Formation!

The material that made up the trap was the flaming footprints of Grim's boots of ashes burning in the void under his feet.

The chaotic footprints left behind by Grim's seemingly haphazard rush actually formed a hundred-meter radius hidden flame formation. When Mary rushed into this space without feeling anything, in an instant, nearly a hundred flaming footprints in the void flashed at the same time, and a shadowy illusory flame witch formation wrapped Mary in it.

What are you afraid of!

Mary's strength was in her unmatched terrifying speed.

And the trap that Grim had left for her was of course used to limit her speed.

As fire rushed into the sky and the witch formation manifested, a cold to cold flame suddenly wrapped around Mary's body, intending to freeze her in it.

Mary's face instantly turned pale!

If she really was entangled in the Ice Flame, the battle would undoubtedly end in her defeat. And this was absolutely unbearable for the high-minded and proud Mary.

At this electrifying moment, Mary shrieked and her body suddenly lit up with a cluster of silver light, instantly getting rid of the Ice Flame Witch Formation and appearing hundreds of meters away.

And Grim, who was chasing after her, had his eyes wide open and an incredulous look on his face.

How... how... how the hell did Mary get out of the Ice Flame Trap?

His physical eyes couldn't see it, and his mental perception couldn't chase it, but the chip's battlefield recording function captured it very clearly. Through the chip slowing down the battlefield recording by hundreds of times, Grim could clearly see that at the moment of Mary's sharp hiss, the entire battlefield space seemed to suddenly stand still, allowing her to step on the ice flames and escape the trap.

Time froze....

If Mary's speed is so extreme, she can even achieve the effect of freezing time?

Grim was momentarily horrified!
