Age of Adepts

Grim, who had nothing to do, also lived quietly in Keslinburg.

The injury to his right hand wasn't too serious, and it only took him three days to get over it.

On the other hand, the large amount of data and information stolen from within the Association took him quite a bit of time to slowly comb through and statistically summarize. But the good thing was that there were chips to help, chip statistics, he browsed, and even then, it took a whole half month to finish processing.

Among them, a large amount of basic sorcery knowledge and experiments accounted for 87% of the stolen data, the rest also included the association's organizational structure, the list of members of each department, the annual allocation of resources, and the details of the five sub-dimensions....

It was impossible for Grim to fully grasp the specific operations of the Association through these materials, but it was significant to deepen his understanding of the Association from a local perspective.

Whether it was that spiritual illusion, 'Free Wind', or the several sub-dimensions that acted as wizard training bases, they all left a deep impression on Grim.

According to the information, the association secretly selected a group of 1st and 2nd level elite sorcerers and then sent them to a sub-plane called the Earth Abyss, where they took in a sub-dragon branch called the 'Grey Shadow Dragon'.

With a companion contract beast like the Grey Shadow Dragon, the physique of these witches would improve by leaps and bounds, and the Grey Shadow Dragon would also be able to leverage the super high spirit mile of human witches to enhance the power of their racial abilities. Therefore, a 2nd rank Grey Shadow Dragon plus a 2nd rank Sorcerer, the basic battle power exerted by a 2nd rank Sorcerer was already no weaker than that of an ordinary 3rd rank Sorcerer.

And as the Association's hidden killer weapon, the number of this Flying Dragon Sorcerer troop was already as high as a hundred. Most of the ordinary members of it were Tier 1 Elite Sorcerers paired with Tier 1 Grey Shadow Dragons, whose battle power was comparable to that of Tier 2 Sorcerers. The captain or leader was a Tier 2 Elite Sorcerer with a Tier 2 Grey Shadow Dragon, whose combat power was equal to that of a Tier 3 Sorcerer.

Such a force of Sorcerers, though only a hundred in number, could exert a terrifying battle power comparable to three to four hundred Sorcerers of the same rank. Such a powerful force was only unknown to the outside world of the Scattered Earth Tallinn due to the fact that they were stationed in various sub-dimensions all year round.

If the Fabres Family had been able to take out an elite army of this size and level during the last Family War, even if the Crimson Family had a 4th Order Magic Puppet Dragon guarding it, it would have vanished in an instant.

After all, there was only one 4th-ranked Demon Puppet Dragon, and the area it could guard and defend was extremely limited. Once this kind of elite army with flexible tactics and powerful battle strength burst into the family's interior, ordinary 3rd rank Sorcerers might not even be able to fight back, not to mention those middle and low rank Sorcerers who lacked sufficient means to save their lives.

In addition to the Flying Dragon Sorcerers, the Scatterland Talin Association also had a number of other killer weapons such as the 'Shadow Legion' and the Sorcerer Beast Army. Their targets were not the loose and weak wizard families within, but the three major wizards who had other plans for the Scattered Tallinn.

Why hadn't the three major sorcerers reached out to the middle of the continent in tens of thousands of years? Relying only on that one loose and weak witch family in Scattered Earth Tallinn, they were unable to defend themselves against any of the three strong witch powers invading.

It was because the 4th ranked witches in the middle of the continent had united to form a loose but huggy association. That was why they had gathered the strength of fourteen rank 4 sorcerers, pooled the scattered resources of hundreds or thousands of scattered Tallinn local powers, and secretly formed an incomparably powerful team of elite sorcerers.

The actual control of these teams was now in the hands of the President, Wizard Freed, but the remaining thirteen 4th rank wizards, as long as three of them could unite, had the power to mobilize these association forces.

To be honest, before seeing these hidden cards, Grim still had a little bit of contempt for the Scattered Tallinn Association, thinking that they were nothing but a bunch of frogs in a well who only knew how to fight for power and profit, and had lost the wolfishness and adventurous spirit that witches should have.

However, after silently learning about these unknown cards, Grim couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Once upon a time, Grim had been somewhat vaguely inflated.

He was proud of his 3rd rank opponents, and full of contempt for those 4th rank sorcerers, and always felt that his current strength was enough to run amok in the middle of the continent. Even if he made a terrible mess, with the Crimson Family's deep heritage, retreating to defend the family territory would be all right.

But now....

Looking at people's cards and considering the Crimson Family's heritage, Grim felt the terror and power of a large wizard organization for the first time!

But what bothered him even more was the fact that even such a powerful Scatterland Talyn Association wasn't really a large power in the Wizarding World. Compared to the Silver Alliance, the Witch of the North, and the Sorcerer's Association, the Scattered Earth Talin Association was simply a small, insignificant local power that couldn't even be compared to the first three.

In order to better prepare for the upcoming tournament, Grim had also started looking up the basics of those three opponents in the database.

"Gallo, male, affiliated with the Denel family, 3rd rank bloodline sorcerer, bloodline source is said to originate from a certain fearsome necromantic ruler. Specializes in close combat, with a body without any fatalities. Body base attributes: strength 39 physique 34 agility 17 spirit 21. wielder used: 3rd rank longsword, name, special effects unknown..."

"Dante, male, affiliated with Annemdor Academy, 3rd rank elemental sorcerer, good at communicating with spirits and can drive spirits to fight. Body Base Attributes: strength 13 physique 21 agility 11 spirit 39. sorcery used: grievance wand (3rd rank), death necklace (3rd rank), evil feast (3rd rank)..."

"Sanaza, female, belongs to the House of Sarupo, a 3rd level bloodline sorcerer whose bloodline originates from a powerful venomous flying dragon, belonging to a highly venomous sub-dragon branch. Body base data: strength 25 (33) physique 39 (39) agility 22 (26) spirit 32 (37). Note: The data in parentheses are after the transformation. Sorcery used: berserk heart (3rd level), thorn armor (3rd level)......."

"Grim, male, affiliated with the Crimson Family, 3rd level elemental sorcerer (flame specialization), skilled at manipulating and exorcising fire sorcery. Body Basics: Strength 20 Physique 22 Agility 12 Spirit 39. weapons used: the Flame Throne 5-piece set (2nd level witchcraft individually, 3rd level in the set), the Strange Ring (4th level?), and the Flame Throne 5-piece set. ......."

Looking at the association data projected by the chip, Grim couldn't help but feel his heart palpitate.

All this while, he had thought that his strength was already considered quite good. At the very least, within the Scattered Earth Tallinn Level 3 Sorcerer, he could be considered to be proud of himself and overpowered everyone.

But after reading everyone's information, Grim was horrified to discover that his basic strength was only ranked third at most among the four. If you put aside all the sorcery and aids, I'm afraid he was still the weakest of the four.

That Gallo, who was known as the Shattered Face Sorcerer, couldn't help but get a little dizzy when he looked at his dazzling and terrifying body data. If he encountered such a violent machine in a tight arena, how many seconds could his defensive sorcery last?

But the good news was that Grim also had numerous cards to play.

From start to finish, Grim was not a warrior-type sorcerer who liked to go into battle bare-chested and rush to the front lines. So in past battles, he preferred to drive the Demon Puppet to the front, while he stayed at the rear to give full play to his Elemental Sorcerer's powerful firepower, bombarding the enemy with crazy elements.

Moreover, the current Grim, spelling strength had elemental magic weapons, spelling numbers had the plague poison spirit Remy and its plague creatures, and spelling firepower, Grim himself was a flame sorcerer known for being the number one battlefield killer. With these conditions stacked on top of each other, his enemies wouldn't even be able to stand on their heels without a decent amount of strength.

After studying the Shatterface Sorcerer, Grim turned his attention to another psychic sorcerer, Dante.

Grim was also a little secretly scared of this completely different elemental sorcerer.

It was said that this Dante sorcerer had completely transformed himself into some sort of spirit-like creature in order to enhance his own combat abilities. This would allow him to avoid over 90% of physical damage in battle.

His fighting style was also somewhat similar to Grim's, except that he harnessed and drove powerful spirit creatures. These dead creatures are not afraid of swords or physical blows, and they possess all sorts of unbelievably strange abilities.

If Grim and Dante fought, I'm afraid it would be a battle of spirits of vengeance and fire!

It was promising and exciting to think about.

As for that Sanazar, she was an old acquaintance of Grim's.

When Grim was still acquainted with this Sanaza, it was impossible for Grim to detect any hidden information due to the disparity in status and the huge difference in strength between the two sides.

This Sanaza fellow had been hidden in that purple mist for years, and after knowing her for so long, Grim didn't even know much about her appearance or figure. As for what was known about her, it wasn't as detailed as the investigation within the association.

The Venomous Flying Dragon....

It was also an exceptionally difficult and powerful demon!

With the strong body and magic resistance of the Dragon One clan, no matter what attack came with a terrible poison... Such a guy was also quite a headache when he launched into a brutal fight.

Grim was still impressed by Sanaza's heroic posture when she fought the 3rd level Dragon Knight that time in the Knight's Plane. If one rashly encountered Sanaza, how to block her swift raid would be the key to winning the battle!

Moreover, there was no way that Sanaza hadn't made any progress or strengthening over the years.

Once Grim completely trusted these association data, when the other side suddenly took out some means other than data, I'm afraid the battlefield situation would be flipped in an instant.

Therefore, these stolen Association data could only be used as a basic reference for Grim's battle preparations, but could not be fully trusted, and more battle plans and means must be prepared in order to avoid a gutter turnaround.

Moreover, this information was not considered top secret.

If you can get it 'easily' yourself, those opponents will naturally be able to do the same.

So, I'm afraid that bit of information of my own is also being carefully ground by one opponent. Once they targeted it purposefully, I'm afraid that the situation really wasn't promising....
