Age of Adepts

Chapter 1034 - Direct Invitation to War

"Teacher just acted so handsome oh..."

Even the normally calm and experienced Fire Dragon Witch, at this moment, she had to transform into a fan girl and shout for her teacher with a face like a sparrow.

As a core figure of the Crimson Family and a relative of participant Grim, Mary, Meryl, Emelia, and several other representatives of the Alliance Family were able to enter a private room to watch this battle of the powerful that was taking place in a more private environment.

The huge light screen in front of them was split into over a hundred smaller screens, each screen projection showing a close-up of the four participants from a different angle.

It also showed that the Association's previous monitoring of the entire battlefield had reached a pervasive and ubiquitous level!

However, even so, as soon as the four strongmen entered, the light and shadows on the screen began to darken one by one.

Those who were able to participate in the battle of the strongest were worthy of being carefully selected 3rd level kings, and naturally, they did not allow the monitoring witch beasts set up by the association to get too close to their battlefield, thus making a move to poke out the 'eyes' of those who were too obvious or too close one by one.

However, the Association had obviously anticipated this.

The blacked out screens lit up again one after another, replaced by another angle of the witch beast's eye, approaching several participants from the outskirts of the battlefield in rapid succession. Although it was no longer possible to observe the contestants at close range with impunity like before, it was still possible to roughly grasp the opponent's every move with remote spying.

At this time, Grim had already transformed into a giant ball of fire, trailing a long tail of flame as it moved through the lush forest and sea. In the past, such a move would have ignited everything along the way, leaving a clear and dazzling path of fire behind it.

But now, Grim's control over the flames had become more and more proficient.

The fireball he was transforming into was like an unreal illusion, empty of steamy bright yellow flames, but unable to perceive any temperature changes. All the flame energy was hoarded in the core of the fireball, and not the slightest bit of energy leaked out. Thus, those who relied on elemental changes to detect the enemy's traces would have a hard time discovering Grim's true location as long as they couldn't see the fireball with the naked eye.

Grim didn't choose to take to the skies with great fanfare, but instead chose to transform into a fireball and approach that competitor more stealthily. After all, his own strength could not be fully exerted under the suppression of the power of the bits. Moreover, even at this moment, he didn't know who his enemy was.

Under such circumstances, there was no way to formulate subsequent tactics.

Therefore, Grim's first choice after entering the bit battlefield was to approach the enemy covertly and determine the enemy's identity before deciding whether to follow up with a strong attack or a swim.

With a distance of a hundred miles, it only took Grim half an hour to reach it.

The teleportation crystal that was on his body could only barely determine the enemy's location, but it couldn't identify the distance of the opponent. Therefore, Grim wasn't worried that the enemy would pre-set a trap for him.

After all, right now, everyone was in bit suppression, and it was quite difficult for anyone to take out an opponent when they couldn't use their full strength. Therefore, the early stages of the battle were still focused on fire reconnaissance and finding an opening.

This was a secluded valley located deep in the forest and sea.

The dense forest, which was once teeming with life and creatures, was now silent and deadly.

Tall, straight trees were crowded together, and the gaps in the forest floor were covered by dense branches, leaves, and crisscrossing vines and canes.

However, in such a hot and harsh environment, a strange fireball suddenly rushed out of the forest and descended into this quiet valley.

The ball of fire was frozen in mid-air.

A pair of gleaming eyes opened from the steaming flames, cautiously and meticulously scanning everything in the quiet valley.

Soon, he made a discovery.

The fireball appeared in the middle of a forest clearing with a flicker, the eyes in the flames staring momentarily at a drop of green slime hanging from a cluster of shrub thorns.

As the mountain breeze blew and the bush forest swayed gently, this drop of green slime was also slowly evaporating.

Once enveloped by the steaming pale green mist, all those green plants began to quickly wither and fade.

Looks like your first enemy was that old acquaintance, Sanaza!

From the first glimpse of Venom, Grim had also pretty much confirmed his opponent. The chip in his mind was also running at high speed, and began to formulate all sorts of battle plans around that Level 3 Venom Flying Dragon.

Sanaza's personal information, Sanaza's temperament, Sanaza's fighting habits, Sanaza's common equipment... everything quickly flowed into Grim's mind, and then stitched together to form an increasingly clear character model.

As Sanaza's model finished forming, Grim's body suddenly rose, transforming into a giant fireman over ten meters tall, rising into the sky.

An earth-shaking roar then rang out over the vast expanse of forest and sea.

"Sa... Na... Za..."

The sound was like a flood bell and thunder, shaking the forest and sea, frightening birds flying high, and everywhere one could see fallen leaves falling like snowflakes in the ocean.

Without using any intrigue or scheming, Grim took out the simplest and most direct way to invite battle to that arrogant 3rd rank witch.

As if sensing Grim's violent will to fight, a purple mist slowly rose into the sky in the middle of the forest and sea 30 miles away, confronting Grim's incarnated fireman.

Sanaza is an extremely arrogant and narcissistic guy, acting recklessly and rudely, often times doing things without considering the consequences. And this was one of the main reasons why Grim and the Sarupo family had fallen out!

It was such an understanding of Sanaza's temperament that Grim was able to step over the unnecessary process of probing, warming up, etc., and directly provoke the other party in the most brutal way possible.

The other was a veteran 3rd rank witch who had almost watched Grim grow from a 1st rank minor witch to a point where she was now comparable to her.

Seriously, it was extraordinarily difficult for her to endure!

Even though Grim's legendary fire witch's name was rumored to be magical, in Sanaza's heart, the other person was still the same 'little character' who had been so obsequious before her eyes. Even though intellectually she knew it was wrong, emotionally she just couldn't put that fire witch in the right place.

So faced with an invitation to battle from a past 'Gryphon', even though Sanaza was still in the suppression of the power of her position, she did not hesitate to fight head-on.

Looking distantly at the towering Flame Giant in the middle of the forest and sea, Sanaza, who was only 1.72 meters tall, had no fear.

She perceived it very clearly.

That fireman didn't look terrifying, but the intensity of the flame force field condensed around him was only a handful.

It was obvious that the other party was also under the indiscriminate and comprehensive suppression of the power of the bit plane.

In such an environment, the right choice was to minimize unnecessary energy consumption. The other party was forcibly condensing flame power, and also expanding his body to such an extent that it was easy to imagine the loss of flame energy for himself.

At a level like the 3rd level, the witches' own magic resistance had been raised to an astonishing level, and the power of the oversized elemental sorcery in the past was instead not as powerful as the single sorcery of power cohesion, which could create the necessary threat to the enemy.

As for using a huge elemental body to shock the enemy, such a tactic might work against a low ranked sorcerer, but it would be a bit of a bluff if it was to be used against a 3rd rank of equal strength.

"Kid, you haven't experienced a high level battle at this level yet, right? Today, I'll show you the power of a true 3rd stage powerhouse... "Sanaza's slightly hoarse and sharp voice came out of the purple mist, which then turned into a kind of beast-like roar and growl.

The purple mist continued to drum and spread, and soon covered the surrounding area of nearly a hundred meters.

In the center of the mist, there seemed to be a huge creature roaring and struggling, and from time to time, its long, thick, glad tail and pale, powerful forest claws passed by at the edge of the mist, yet it was difficult for people to truly glimpse what was inside.

Just as Grim grunted and condensed a ball of lava fire to throw at the purple mist, a pair of dazzlingly burning phosphorescent green pupils suddenly lit up in the depths of the mist, and then a loud dragon's roar resounded through the heavens and earth.

At the first gust of wind, a huge figure penetrated out of the purple mist, smashed the incoming lava fireball with one claw, and then swiftly pounced on the towering Grim with a mass of flaming debris.

The opponent's figure was swift, but it was still completely captured by Grim's dynamic vision.

This Sanaza transformed Venom Flying Dragon was as ugly and fierce as ever, not having the majestic posture of an ordinary dragon, nor the hardness and fierceness of a pure-blooded dragon's prismatic bones, just like a skinned green dragon, its body covered with disgusting slime covered with pustules and dark spots.

However, the Poison Dragon was also a giant dragon, and also possessed the same fierce dragon power and strong physique of the dragon race.

When the Venomous Flying Dragon's dark green membranous dragon wings flapped against the void, and its twenty-meter-long great body transformed into a swift lightning bolt, pouncing on Grim with fangs and claws, the overwhelmingly fierce atmosphere that assaulted the sea was almost suffocating.

Grim raised his large hand, and layers and layers of flaming shields appeared in front of the Venomous Flying Dragon's flight path.

The Venomous Flying Dragon's giant mouth spat out a cloud of green sticky venom, etching through the five Flame Shields in a single breath before it turned into a faint green mist and dissipated. The Venomous Flying Dragon did not lose momentum, and crushed the remaining three Flame Shields with its powerful body, crashing head-on into the last two Lava Shields.

Thud....

With a heaven-shattering explosion, the two equally formidable giants violently clashed together, tumbling and tearing just as a wide, flat avenue opened up in the depths of the leafy forest and sea.

In order to strengthen his melee ability with maximum intensity, Grim shed his fire attacking fierce flame body and turned into a terrifying inflammatory demon with a strong physique.

The two terrifyingly strong men tumbled and fought all the way....
