Age of Adepts

The small temporary restraint simply couldn't stop the fox girl's delicate little hand that was coated with brilliant cardamom flower juice.

With a soft sound, the restriction ruptured.

The sacred book of wisdom turned into a white light, and was about to fly away from here.

Foxgirl Ruth covered her mouth with a delicate smile, the puffy fiery red fox tail behind her fiercely swung, and dozens of transparent threads coiled around the Holy Book of Wisdom, pulling it gently to her eyes.

"A divine artifact... this is a divine artifact! You guys are so..."

Before she could finish her words, the smile on her pointedly charming little face suddenly faded, and was replaced by a look of utter terror. The fox tail that curled around the Sacred Book of Wisdom even shook outwards, wanting to throw it out.

Unfortunately, it was too late!

Without waiting for her due reaction, a dazzling and terrifying lightsaber suddenly appeared above the Bronze Scroll of Wisdom, and then sunk straight into Fox Ruth's exquisite and full body.

The next moment, the fox girl Ruth let out a deafening scream, her whole body was chopped by the lightsaber, directly cut into two pieces. Most of the warm, hot blood and shattered organs within the belly and chest cavity were vaporized by the Berserk Divine Art, leaving only the two charred legs falling to the sides.

The werewolf who had been on full alert for Grim turned back in horror at the sound of the voice, and what he saw was precisely the terrifying scene of the fox girl Ruth being spiked by the sword of the Sacred Decree hidden within the Wisdom Sacrament.

"Ruth..."

The werewolf couldn't help but let out a long howl of shock and rage, and slammed back into the ground, smacking a handful of sharp claws on top of the Wisdom Sacrament that was shaking to go away.

As soon as the Holy Book of Wisdom landed on the ground, a layer of milky white divine light overflowed above it. It trembled wildly in place, as if someone somewhere in the distance was constantly calling to it.

Suddenly seeing the tragic death of the fox girl Ruth, the werewolf was almost jaw-droppingly furious.

The relationship between it and the fox girl was not just a companion, but also an intimate lover who lived and died together.

When it saw the culprit who killed Rose trying to escape, the werewolf rushed up to it, firmly holding down the wildly shaking Wisdom Canon with its claws, it leaned down and opened its mouth wide, intending to swallow it down.

However, just as it was about to put this action into action, the harsh wind behind it whistled, and a strange golden flame had blown over its body.

The werewolf suddenly looked back, and an extremely frightened look suddenly appeared in its scarlet-as-blood stern eyes.

Unfortunately, without waiting for any further reaction from it, the golden flame had already burned through the protective force field and ignited a small half of its body.

The werewolf immediately erupted with a miserable and terrifying howl, no longer able to collect the Holy Book of Wisdom, and with a single leap, it dodged a thousand meters away, avoiding the subsequent attack of the golden flame, before it returned to try to extinguish the terrifying flame that had burst on its body.

However, to its utter horror, the violent Wolf Poison Blood Qi poured over the burning parts of the golden flames on its body, but could only suppress the spread of the flames rather than annihilate them completely.

Living as if... living as if those golden flames had a unique life of their own!

"The Flame Law... Damn it, it's the Flame Law!"

As a high ranking believer of the Beast God, the werewolf naturally understood the terrifying power of rules.

This kind of flame that was infused with the power of rules could either be neutralized with an absolute amount of elemental energy, or it could be fought with the power of another kind of law. Other than that, there was no other way!

Unfortunately, it can't do either of these avenues right now.

Therefore, despite being filled with resentment and unwillingness, the werewolf could only drag its scorching splintering body and flee into the distance.

Grim didn't chase after the werewolf, but appeared before the Holy Book of Wisdom with a leap of flame, and opened his big hand, a dark and deep strange pearl inside his palm spurted out a thick and inky dark substance, instantly turning a hundred meters radius into a shadow world.

Under the confinement of the powerful power of the shadow pearl, the turbulent and jumping wisdom holy book finally quieted down, and was dragged in bit by bit by a shadow chain sticking out of the void.

It took a full half a quarter of an hour for Grim to seal the Holy Book of Wisdom within the Shadow Jewel.

On his body, only a 5th stage witch weapon like the Shadow Jewel could seal and restrain the divine runes on the 5th stage artifact Wisdom Sacred Canon. Otherwise, he would have to watch the Wisdom Sacred Canon disappear from his hands without any way to intercept it.

Fortunately, this was the Morian Plane where the Laws of the Plane were in turmoil and chaos, and that distant God of Wisdom, Yero, couldn't actually control the current state of the artifact through the Faith Channel. Otherwise, Grim's operation to collect the Holy Book of Wisdom would never have gone so smoothly.

However, even so, as Grim gently wiped the sweat off his forehead, breathed a long sigh of relief, and carefully put away the Shadow Jewel, a low voice imbued with endless power suddenly echoed in his mind.

"The power of shadows? I don't know who your Excellency is and why you are using the power of shadow to seal my artifacts. And where is Mitzel he?"

Grim was horrified, and the golden flames on Woodland's body burst into flames, firmly protecting himself.

The surging and stirring spiritual perception and the enveloping burning field even more instantly dumped within a radius of a thousand meters, but strangely did not find the guy who spoke out.

"Drop, detecting the presence of a strange channel... Channel carrier: wisdom holy code... Status: sealed in..."

Listening to the feedback from the chip, Grim realized that this direct message in his mind was not someone else, but the Wisdom Sacred Book that he had just sealed. And the one who was able to speak directly to him through the Wisdom Sacred Code obviously couldn't be anyone else, it was that God of Wisdom, Yero, whom he had just been chanting about.

The other party was, at any rate, a powerful deity, and Grim had no interest in engaging in any spiritual bonding with such a big man. Thus, Grim made a series of empty strokes and condensed a few more flame runes, sealing the Shadow Jewel along with it.

He used the power of the Shadow Jewel to seal the Sacred Book of Wisdom, and then used the power of the Flame Laws to seal the Shadow Jewel. With this double insurance, that God of Wisdom, Yero, wouldn't be able to project his power again!

As it was, as the flame runes spun rapidly around the Shadow Jewel, turning into a fist-sized stone ball of fire that wrapped itself around it, the voice of that God of Wisdom, Yero, suddenly sank, intermittently appearing weak.

"You are a wizard from the Wizard World, aren't you! Since you are able to control the Shadow Jewel, could it be that you are a certain powerful person in the Dark Witch clan?"

Grim didn't say a word in response to that deity's inquiry.

After all, the channel of faith was a strange way for the gods to collect beliefs and pass on their power, and with Grim's current knowledge reserves and means of ability, it was obvious that he could not completely seal off the Holy Book of Wisdom, and could only isolate the power that that god of wisdom passed through the Holy Book.

Therefore, this Holy Book of Wisdom had become a mere 'megaphone', and the God of Wisdom, Yero, could only harass Grim continuously, but there was nothing he could do about it.

"I don't care what you've done to Mitsel, as long as you can release the dark seal of the Holy Book of Wisdom, I can ignore all the sins you've committed..."

"...Wizard who walks in the darkness, abandon your senseless actions! The Holy Book of Wisdom has my divine runes etched on it, and without my permission, you can't borrow the power on it. Rather than getting an unusable artifact, how about you give it back to me and I'll exchange it for a powerful sub-divine artifact (4th rank) with you?"

Grim turned a deaf ear to this Wisdom God Yero's clamor.

The Sacred Canon of Wisdom had been sealed anyway, and it was impossible for the other party to call over, so he clamored and let him clamor, and Grim made up his mind to never talk nonsense with it.

That Yero opposite the Wisdom Sacred Canon was apparently the first time he had encountered such a greasy, wretched fellow. If it were any other bit, he would have projected his divine power over without hesitation and gotten rid of this villain who had killed Mitsel and sealed the Sacred Canon first.

Unfortunately, he really really couldn't do it!

"Say, what exactly do you want? Sub-divine artifacts, divine crystals, resource bits, exotic beauties... as long as you can return the Wisdom Sacred Book, I can release the treasury and let you choose at will, how about it?"

It could be seen that this holy book of wisdom was indeed extremely important to Yero, even making him bargain with Grim, the murderous villain, at the risk of giving up his hatred for the murder of the Son of God.

Grim didn't pay any attention to the other party, and leaned over to scrape out a strange earring from the fox girl Ruth's remaining two merinoid body, which was vaguely rippling with threads of spatial energy.

This should be Foxgirl Ruth's spatial equipment!

Only the way and means of using the space equipment in the world of the gods was different from that of the witches, so Grim could only find the correct way to open the seal after bringing it back and slowly parsing it.

When Grim was done with all of this, the distant dust clouds parted, and a tall, fluorescent white figure like jade slowly floated out of it.

It was the Witch Demon Kangenas.

It also held in its hands a soft-footed man, and looking at the clothing and appearance, it was the hastily fleeing Son of God, Mitzel. And with all of his life and soul breath gone, he was clearly dead.

"The Holy Book of Wisdom is not with him!"

The Witch Demon Congenas stopped when it floated a thousand meters away from Grim, and inside its empty orbits, the powerful soul fire condensed like a cross-star mane was staring at Grim deadly through the large ruby.

Its words were erratic and bizarre, as if it was explaining something or asking something.

"It's useless for you to look at me, I didn't get that Wisdom Sacred Book either. Just now here, I was attacked by two Beast God devotees, and it was easy to fight them off!" Grim stirred in annoyance, clearly looking like he was in denial.

The Wraith Kanganus' soulfire covertly swept over the remains of the fox girl Ruth on the ground, and couldn't help but feel slightly alarmed.

It was the fox girl Ruth...what about the other werewolf?

The Wraith Kanganus couldn't help but be suspicious.
