Age of Adepts

"Sharp-toothed vortex!"

"Mindstorm!"

As a two-headed sorcerer after the fusion of brother and sister, they were able to excite* two sorcery spells of different natures simultaneously every time they cast a spell. With two against one, it would be difficult for an ordinary opponent to resist their dual spells.

Unfortunately, their opponent was a fearsome witch demon known for its powerful magic resistance!

Ordinary 2nd rank sorcery landed on the body of a witch demon and was directly immune, only 3rd rank or higher sorcery could bring some threat and damage to it. And 4th-rank sorcery was hard to instantly fire with Mangus and Qiu Lisa's newly advanced strength, so the whole time, they were both fighting with powerful 3rd-rank sorcery.

When the powerful 3rd rank sorcery landed on the witch's body, nearly half of the elemental power was directly exempted or resisted, and the remaining nearly half of the power had to be discounted by seven or eight, and eventually the residual power could only bring some slight damage to the witch.

The siblings also had to try their best to avoid poison, hypnosis, paralysis, immobilization, disease, instant death effect, necromancy effect, spirit effect effect and other related sorceries when casting spells. Because the witch demon is directly immune to these types of sorcery!

So with seven cuts and eight deductions, plus all sorts of strange damage reduction, there were simply very few sorcery spells that could work on a Witch Demon's body.

On the other hand, an instant-death type spell that a Witch Demon casually provoked* could ruthlessly shank the siblings!

Ignoring the physical defense, ignoring the magic resistance of the instant death spells but directly on the soul, if you want to not die, you can only rely on the toughness of the soul to resist.

And the result of every hard fight is a wild loss of life force and a wailing of the soul!

The Mangus siblings were the ones who were beaten to a pulp.

In the end, the Mangus siblings also discovered some tricks to resist the witch's instant-death spells, which is to catch others to take the blame.

All of the instant death spells are either ray or aura spells, and as long as the siblings can catch an apprentice and throw him or her onto the flight path of the spell, they can trigger the instant death effect.

In this way, exchanging the life of an arcane apprentice for one of the Witch Demon's instant death class spells was extremely cost-effective in every way.

However, that Witch Demon was also a cunning person, so how could he be restrained by such a simple tactic by their siblings. After a wide-ranging 'Banshee's Howl' was emitted, there was no longer half an arcane apprentice within a thousand meters for the Mangus siblings to make use of.

They could only retreat as they fought, expecting their opponent's impatience with the wearing down of time to turn to deal with targets that were easier to get at.

Unfortunately, the current Floating Sky City was filled with ferocious beasts and powerful people, and no matter how they snapped their fingers, the siblings were always the weakest. So, no matter how much they dodged, the witch demon just kept chasing after them, seemingly vowing not to stop until they were killed.

This time, Mangus and Qiu Lisa were finally afraid!

"Lord Grim, we know you're nearby...come out and save us!" Qiu Lisa screamed for help, "As long as you can save us from dying, we... we are willing to do your bidding, and all the harvest from this mission belongs to you!"

The faces of the two siblings were filled with fear and dread.

The older brother, Mangus, was a bit dissatisfied with his sister's promise though, and thought he could bargain a bit more. But in the face of the vicious and vowing to hunt down the fearsome Wraith, he could only keep his mouth tightly shut and let his sister make the decision.

"This is true..." the familiar clear voice of Grim suddenly floated out of the battlefield space.

"When it's true, when it's true... We are all teammates who came here together, so how can we siblings dare to deceive you?" Hearing Grim's voice, Qiu Lisa's almost desperate eyes once again burst with sparks of hope.

This trip to the Otherworld was still too dangerous, with the strength of their siblings, they simply couldn't hold out until the end. So Qiu Lisa had also long since extinguished the crooked idea of taking the opportunity to make a fortune, and began to recognize reality and return to reason.

"Hehe..."

With a low muffled laugh, a large flame extended out of the void, sweeping towards the 4th rank Witch Demon like a cloud.

Although the previous communication between Grim and Qiu Lisa was using the universal language of the Witch World, it was impossible for the Witch Demon to understand it. But out of the nature of an evil creature, as soon as it sensed Grim's strange flame breath approaching, it had already prepared itself in its heart to fight.

Thus, when the incessant fire cloud appeared, the Witch Demon raised its hand with an eerie sneer, and with a flash of white light within the second section of the left bone hand's tail finger, it summoned a terrifying ice ghost covered in ice carved from a million years of cold ice from the bit void.

Ice Ghost, 4th rank, puppet creature.

This was an exceptionally powerful cold ice dead creation that could not be naturally produced in nature at all, and could only be made by the Witch Demon in a laboratory. And they were also the most loyal servants of the Witch Demon, charging and fighting at the forefront of battle on its behalf.

When Grim appeared, the Witch Demon immediately and without hesitation summoned the Ice Ghost to entangle the Mangus siblings, while its own body turned Ug and collided with the fire cloud.

The body of the Witch Demon, which was as white as jade, was immune to almost all elemental attacks of level 3 and below, so the Witch Demon didn't even have the awareness to be a spellcaster, and immediately emitted the most terrifying 'Banshee's Howl' after hitting the fire cloud with its body as a shield.

The mournful, high-pitched, sharp howl quickly enveloped the entire fire cloud, and the terrifying sound waves that were enough to tear apart the soul rapidly vibrated and propagated within the space, even stirring up layers of fine ripples.

Such a terrifying 4th stage demoness howl was enough to exterminate all opponents with insufficient soul toughness, and even those 4th stage opponents would suffer a great loss under this move if they were not careful.

Fire clouds shook and the void trembled.

In the depths of the continuous sea of fire, Grim was instantly forced by the Wraith to reveal himself.

He was seen holding a Fire Coral Witch Staff, wearing a Burning Sun Corona on his head, a Fire Dragon Pendant around his neck, a Flame Emblem wrapped around his arm, a Dreadnought Belt around his waist, boots of ashes on his feet, and wearing a Listening Lang full of strange magic rings of different colors on his two hands and ten fingers....

But these external objects obviously couldn't cover up Grim's own divinity.

Although Grim wasn't a proper body refining sorcerer, and didn't have those hard as iron perverted muscles. But at a height of 2 meters, his well-proportioned and fit body still gave him a near-perfect physique.

Strong and solid muscles, dark red and lustrous skin, long black hair spread out behind him, dancing slowly with the light breeze. Coupled with the dark red light that lit up in the depths of his black pupils, Grim's entire body gave off an evil, mysterious, and wise wizard smell.

"4th rank beginner... Incredible!" The witch demon slurred and exclaimed, "You must be a genius witch in one of the great witch powers, otherwise how could you have mastered a part of the flame laws with a 4th stage beginner's strength!"

Earlier when Witch Demon had sensed Grim's flame breath, he had always treated him as an old 4th rank wizard. Now that he saw Grim's young face and perceived the other party's still not completely stable spirit fluctuations, Witch Demon couldn't help but open his mouth wide in shock.

"Your Excellency, this Witch Demon, I don't know how to address you?" Grim didn't rush to do anything, but instead, a fire coral wand and a full-covered flaming shield were added to the other man.

"Congenas...what about you?" The Wraith retorted coldly.

"Greetings from Grim, Lord Congenas!" Grim was all smiles, "There are so many prey here, so why are you staring at us witches? How about..."

"Jie Jie Jie... open your mouth and try to take away the prey from my mouth? Want me to see if you're that good at it!" The Witch Demon was worthy of being a regular inside the evil camp, and did not allow Grim to negotiate any further, raising his hand as a terrifying green ray rattled on top of the flaming shield.

Dissociation Technique!

A Flame Shield with a physical defense of 500 degrees and an elemental defense of 700 degrees fell apart the moment it touched the green ray.

And in the next second, four or five evil curses of grey, white, miserable green, or miso purple pursued and ingested, almost in no particular order, into Grim's body.

The Wraith was worthy of being the strongest controller of evil spells, and each curse came with a terrifying spell penetration, otherwise it wouldn't have been possible to act directly on Grim's body right through the Burning Field and Flame Force Field.

Hysteresis!

I'm losing my mind!

Aging!

Pain!

Oblivion!

There were a total of five curses, and surprisingly, all of them worked without fail.

The Hysteresis Curse could greatly reduce Grim's movement speed....

The Death Curse can weaken Grim's will to fight....

The Aging Curse caused Grim's several body base attributes to degrade slightly....

The pain curse, on the other hand, makes Grim take double the damage....

The Oblivion Curse, on the other hand, causes Grim to randomly forget part of his sorcery....

And when the curse all took effect, that terrifying Witch Demon Kanganus' bone hand lightly lifted, immediately inspiring a series of bone spears to be saved and shot at Grim from all directions. The sharp ends of these bone spears were all burning with pale necromantic flames.

Once any living creature was touched by this flame, it would directly freeze their soul, slowing down the functioning of their mind by a great deal!

After completing these attacking moves, that Witch Kangonas silently crushed the tail finger of his right hand again and triggered another terrifying 'Finger of Death' by way of a body sacrifice, turning it into a grey ray that struck the stiff and motionless Grim.

The Finger of Death was already a terrifying instant-death spell, and now that the Witch Demon Kangenas had enhanced its penetration through a body sacrifice, its lethality was becoming even higher.

With only words and smiles, the other party was unrelentingly taking so many deadly shots in succession, not to mention outsiders, even Grim was horrified and couldn't hold himself back.

As he watched the rain of bone spears pounding on his face, as well as the death finger hidden in the bone spear attack, Grim roared harshly and launched a swift and fierce counterattack.
