Age of Adepts

Grim opened his eyes silently.

The fiery heart inside his body was still pulsing strongly and regularly, sending a stream of pure golden flames throughout his body. This golden flame was also completely different from the flame energy of the past, and on top of being imbued with violent and fierce destructive energy, there was also a trace of strange power that was hard for outsiders to detect.

Grim's spiritual consciousness was like a fledgling bird emerging from a broken egg, supported by powerful energy, peeking out from inside his body, rolling out towards the house in all directions.

The entire town was already a dark world!

This was not a description, but an objective and cold reality.

At some point, a dense shadow energy had spread to all corners of the town, and it was continuing to spread and intensify....

In all seriousness, the town of Maplewood had been pulled into the interstices of the Shadow Realm by a massive force of shadows, becoming a bizarre shadow-like field.

In such a domain space, both shadow creatures and dark sorcery could exert their full power and were no longer interfered with or suppressed by the Morian Plane World.

And to achieve such an effect, a 4th level mid-level Dark Sorceress alone could not do it. Unless, she had the support of that Dark Sorceress origin tower behind her....

Powerful and pervasive shadow powers flowed freely through the town, they were like a mass of shades of darkness that occupied almost all the space within the town, except for the location of the four witches.

Every 4th rank wizard was powerful and terrifying!

Therefore, before the Class Shadow Realm was formed, the Shadow Force that flowed freely also deliberately avoided the area where several witches were, prioritizing to occupy all other locations one by one.

The room where Grim was, the shadow power didn't dare to penetrate in order to scare off the snakes.

Holly Witch's room was guarded by a strange power of starlight, and it was also exceptionally difficult to penetrate silently.

Only the one sitting in the dining room on the first floor, Lisa Qiu, had a thin but incredibly tough spiritual barrier around her body, firmly blocking the shadow power from her body.

As for the room of the dark witch Shani, to put it bluntly, the source of the entire town's dark power is probably from here. As for the outer shadow vortex, in the end, it was just an instinct for the power of shadow to gather on its own.

A mass, piece by piece, layer by layer, the power of shadow was like a wild shark of the deep sea, wandering and drifting in the sky above the invisible town. They frantically circled around Grim's dwelling, but didn't dare to take a single step deeper into it.

And when both the Holly Witch and the Two-Headed Witch made it clear with their own gestures that they would not intervene in this internal battle, an invisible war began instantly!

Grim's spirit was strangely hyper and manic at the thought that he was about to fight to the death with a fellow sorcerer. However, this emotion did not affect his thinking, but instead kept him in a 'furious calm'.

The hint of strange power flowing from the golden flames fused with his spiritual power, causing his spiritual will to take on a flaming fervor and burning sensation as well.

Numerous octopus-like tentacles of mental energy rushed out of the dwelling space as the flame power supported them, strangling the shadow power that was pounding in all directions.

The two formless and insubstantial strange powers collided and strangled together in the void.

As soon as the Shadow Force, which possessed extremely strong Yin Corruption characteristics, and the Spiritual Tentacles, which possessed strange burning power, came into contact, they made all sorts of strange and indefinable noises ring out in the void. The two forces of completely different natures were constantly clashing and strangling, devouring and annihilating each other madly....

The entire void was stirred up by the two forces, boiling and tumbling like boiling water!

The Shadow Power relied on the hundreds of shadow vortexes within the dense town that constantly spewed dark power, and after hours of preparation, their numbers had gained an absolute advantage. Once the presence of the alien energy was sensed, the dark power throughout the entire class of shadow realm began to frantically converge on Grim's location without the need for a human to drive it.

Grim, on the other hand, was completely relying on his own strength to fight against the entire Class Shadow Realm.

His enormous spiritual power spread out, transforming into hundreds of spiritual tentacles that swiftly and effectively strangled the forces of shadows that dared to rush into his spiritual perception. Whenever the threads of mental energy that were burned red by the power of the Laws of Flame clashed with the Shadow Force, the two sides diffused, clashing and annihilating each other with their completely different power attributes.

Overall, the power of the Flame Law that Grim held was clearly far stronger than the spontaneous nature of the Shadow Power of the Dark Witch Shani. Almost every trace and strand of flame power required ten times more Shadow power to annihilate.

If it wasn't backed up by a Class Shadow Realm, I'm afraid that in this first round of spiritual confrontation, Dark Witch Shani would have already been defeated!

Shani the Dark Witch's room was pitch black.

It was as if it was flooded by thousands of cuttlefish spewing ink, and there was no light at all in the black hole, nor was there any spiritual power that could penetrate it to investigate the truth.

The dark witch Shani, on the other hand, was like the black widow coiled in the center of the spider's web, and with the feedback of the threads of shadow power, she had a perfect grasp of the situation within the entire class shadow field.

To be honest, before she did it, she didn't even take this so-called Legendary Fire Witch into consideration.

Legendary Fire Witch... what a ridiculous name!

Is that Grim so stupid that he doesn't realize that his enemies are so willing to spread the name on his behalf for nothing more than to hold the killing?

All wizards are proud and have extremely twisted and perverted egos!

And in dealing with them, the name Legendary Fire Witch would not only not earn their respect, but would naturally trigger their hostility and touch their sensitive egos.

And Shani, as an old-fashioned member of the Witch of the North, was even less impressed with the arrogant male witches!

Especially when she heard that the male witch had taken advantage of the rise of the Fate One to cage and capture the heart of that young and ignorant new Fate Witch leader, Shani's hatred and hatred for Grim had grown stronger.

So when that will came unexpectedly, Shani readily accepted the task.

The reason she came to the Morian Plane this time wasn't for a mission to combat the Arcane Empire, but... to kill that Legendary Fire Witch completely and cleanly.

The battle that happened a few days ago, Shani didn't participate in it, yet she didn't stay away from it either.

She had been looking for an opportunity, for a one-shot kill!

Unfortunately, the power sent over from the Austrian Empire was still too feeble to really threaten a 4th rank witch. Thus, she had to choose to hunker down and continue to move with the squad.

To her surprise, the legendary fire witch, after sensing her nearly barely coherent killing intent, not only didn't take the opportunity to escape, but instead brought the squad to this desolate and remote corner, seemingly with the intention of settling a personal grudge here.

Naturally, the ecstatic Shani wouldn't be shy about it and immediately used the Shadow Jewel and used herself as a roadmap to project a portion of the power of the Dark Witch's First Origin Gauntlet.

At this time, Shani was like a bridge, continuously projecting the power of the Origin Gauntlet into the town and then deploying squad after squad of elite Shadow Legion.

This force did not belong to Shani, but rather the entire Dark Witch line of foreign legions kept and cultivated in the Shadow Realm. And the fact that Shani was able to mobilize them at will undoubtedly showed the basic attitude of the entire Dark Sorceress line on the matter of hanging Grim.

As she drove and mobilized the shadow power to surround that legendary fire witch, Shani communicated with the Origin Gauntlet, wanting to try her best to pull this class of shadow realm even deeper into the Shadow Realm.

But as soon as the battle between the two sides began, the battle situation in front of her made her unable to help but frown.

That Legendary Fire Witch's power was too bizarre. How... how could there even be a hint of strange flame power attached to the extended spirit? How the hell did he do that?

According to the message from that lord, hadn't he just advanced to rank 4? How is it possible to master the power of the Laws of Flame?

One must know that even with her Shani's talent, having become a 4th rank Dark Witch for over 600 years, she had only just comprehended the faintest hint of the Law of Shadows, and still had a long way to go before she could skillfully use this power.

But the other party had just advanced to the 4th rank for just over a decade....

This strange discovery also caused the hatred in Shani's heart to burn.

Since the power of the shadows couldn't invade the opponent's domain space, let's do something more concrete.

Under Shani's mobilization and command, the legions of shadows that had trespassed within the town and chosen to hunker down were finally on the move!

Like black water poured back into an even darker, stickier ink, a swarm of Shadow Leopards swooped out from every hidden corner, stomped on the void, and leapt through the shadows of the house, trees, and fences, soaring to surround the bedroom where Grim was.

The high ranking shadow creatures that possessed intelligence, on the other hand, quickly gathered together to form a regiment of shadow warriors and began to pounce on the blazing sun in an orderly fashion.

Yes, within the sight of all the shadow creatures, there was a surging and oppressive blazing sun hidden within that humble house.

A streak of golden light pierced through the wooden planks, penetrating the thick, inky class shadow field and shining on the swarming shadow leopards. It didn't even take three flexes of the finger for a Shadow Leopard of 2nd stage strength to disintegrate and crumble under the golden sunlight, turning back into a large mass of diffuse and unconscious shadow energy.

Therefore, it was not so much that the Shadow Leopards were desperately attacking the target, but rather that they were destroying themselves like moths to a flame.

If the legendary fire witch had only lit a candle flame, it would have been swallowed up by the darkness as the shadow creatures continued their onslaught. But if the legendary fire witch ignited not a candle flame, but a prairie fire, then what awaited the shadow creatures might not be the expected victory, but rather....

Shani the Dark Witch's heart sank!
