Age of Adepts

Chapter 1140 - A Difficult Return

It's Misa....

The first Witch of Destiny who's been fighting with Alice all this time!

How...how the hell did she do that?

Grim was horrified, but hopelessly caught up in the biggest crisis of his life.

The enemy's choice of moment to attack was simply wonderful, the most crucial moment of trans-dimensional teleportation.

Grim's eyes were blood red, his ears could hear the roar of the golden-ringed Roy Wizard, and his entire body was hit by both the fury of blood and the power of space.

It was as if he was caught in an invisible energy storm, his ears were filled with loud rumbling wind whistling, and the protective force field outside his body was shattered as if it had been hit hard. Before a mouthful of blood could be spurted out, it was pressed back down again by the violent energy that pounced on it.

Grim couldn't care less that he was in the middle of a turbulent teleportation, and his entire body instantly transformed into an energy form, transforming into a terrifying flame giant covered in violent elemental flames.

Facing the overwhelming energy frenzy, Grim knew it was impossible for him to retreat in one piece, instantly incorporating the most important storage rings he had into the Heart of the Rule. Only then did he drum up the violent flame energy to meet the energy frenzy.

A 4th rank new sorcerer giving his all to self-destruct, even if he was a bit weak in life, an attack at this moment was fatal.

The two violent and incomparable energies clashed, squeezed, and annihilated each other within a narrow range....

The undeclared energy ripples repeatedly washed over Grim's flaming body, causing the flaming giant, who originally had a 5-meter tall body, to shrink and burst repeatedly....

Grim endured this extreme test, roaring loudly at the risk of his life, squeezing and extracting a huge amount of pure flame power from the Heart of Rule, condensing it into a flame protection on the surface of his body. Every layer that exploded was regenerated, hardened by their strong and profound sorcery heritage to resist the impact and erosion of the energy frenzy.

It could be seen that that Misa Grand Witch had made up her mind to blast Grim out of the teleportation space.

This way, Grim would either be strangled to pieces by the spatial storm or transported to some unknown region by the chaotic spatial energy... Either way, it wasn't good news for Grim!

Therefore, Grim vowed to resist to the death, even if he had to endure an unimaginable energy shock for it, he would never take a step back. He didn't believe that the Misa Grand Witch dared to risk having the entire elite witch team buried with him to put him to death.

So, he was holding on, he was enduring... it was worth it to endure until the spatial teleportation was complete and then be blasted out of the teleportation array!

After about ten seconds, the light and shadow in front of him shifted and seemed to have arrived at the teleportation destination.

At this time, the unleashed energy frenzy seemed to be directly drawn away by another powerful and unparalleled force, which caused Grim to loosen up all over, and his entire body fell into place without any image, gasping for breath.

By now, he had retreated from his Flame Giant form, and his entire body was littered with traces of the energy that had ravaged him. Even his spirit was trapped and atrophied to a certain extreme, and he barely had the strength to stand up.

"What's going on? Why would someone die in transit?" An overwhelming will instantly descended upon this place, squeezing all the witches in the teleportation array so hard that they almost sat down on the ground.

Apart from Grim, the one who had suffered the most during the teleportation process was the Roy Shaman.

He was in charge of the teleportation, like a helmsman on a ferry. The sudden and inexplicable changes and violent movements during the journey put a great deal of pressure on him, as you can imagine.

When the teleportation was complete, the Roy Sorcerer roared wildly and likewise fell into a sitting position, his entire Sorcerer's robe drenched with refreshing sweat. Therefore, faced with the questioning of the superior sorcerer, he failed to open his mouth even after gathering his strength several times.

That vast and incomparable coagulation will circled slightly within the transmission array, and also detected some strange energy scent that had yet to dissipate.

"Fate... this is the smell of fate! Damn, that bastard Misa's got her tentacles on me again..."

Soon, that terrifying will arrived above Grim.

"Kid, who are you? Why would Misa want to launch an attack specifically on you? Well, it's a good thing the teleportation was completed in time, or else the entire squad would have been buried with you."

Grim coughed violently as he spat out blood with glee.

Inevitably, his body had become riddled with holes and fragile from the invasion of the berserk and incomparable blood power and the bizarre space power. However, it was fortunate that he was protected in time and did not let the alien energy invade the Heart of Rules, otherwise, he would have really lost out this time.

Yet even so, his injuries were unusually heavy!

Traces of alien energy intrusions could be detected almost everywhere, from body to soul, and this was undoubtedly terrifying for him, an elemental sorcerer. Without managing to exorcise them, it would be a fool's errand for Grim to even think of advancing to Rule Sorcerer.

Grim struggled for half a day before he managed to sit upright on the ground and managed to speak.

"This lord, my name is Grim, a newly promoted 4th rank in Scattered Earth Tallinn..."

"Nonsense, of course I know exactly where you're coming from. What I'm asking is what's your connection to that Misa?"

"Back to my lord, I don't have any relationship with that Misa the Great Witch. But there is some relationship with that new Destiny Witch Alice..." swallowed Grim.

"Oh? Is there a new Destiny Witch? It's not like you guys teamed up to kill that Misa's fate billet, right?" That will seemed quite interested in the question, and his tone relaxed considerably.

"My lord's discernment. I don't know much about the exact process, but I just had some interaction with that Alice before, then somehow participated in a battle of fate, and then..."

"And then that Alice became the head witch of Destiny? Hehe, it seems that the bit-consciousness of the wizarding world is finding it hard to tolerate that bastard Misa's nonsense, and is using this tactic to cut off her claws. Well, now I understand why you suffered an attack from that bastard Misa..."

"Hey, looks like you're pretty favored by the bit consciousness, boy, not even an attack like that got you killed! Huh, the Fate Witch's blessing... Honestly, are you and that Alice a lover or not, otherwise why would she be willing to put such an important blessing on your soul!"

"Blessed by the Witch of Destiny?" Grim reluctantly looked up, looking bewildered.

"You don't know it yet, boy, but you have a layer of Fate on top of your soul to protect it! This way, no matter where you are, your base luck is a hundred times stronger than normal people, so it's no wonder you survived such an attack..."

"Is such a blessing precious, my lord?"

"Hmph, you kid is really ignorant or not. All things that are tied to fate and luck can be treasures that are sought after. Even if that little girl has the power of a peak 4th rank, she would have to pay nearly half of her life as a price to make it this far!" The will exclaimed in a low voice.

"What if it's a 3rd order?" Grim's body tightened abruptly, terrified to pursue the question.

"Hehe, if she's only 3rd rank, it'll cost at least 80% of her life..."

Grim's face brushed against the ground and became extremely white, his entire body shaking once again.

"It seems like there are really quite a few hidden secrets between you, but I don't care about any of that. All I know is that this operation assignment is within my purview, and whoever dares to put her dirty hands within my range, I'll chop her off viciously..."

The last words were clearly not directed at Grim and the others, but were transmitted to another place through some powerful force of rule, and were met with a cold, resentful snort in return.

"Well, the rest of the living go back to their resting places! Roy, you come to my station and report to me personally..."

With that said, this powerful will side disappeared in an instant, allowing the many sorcerers in the arena to breathe easily and freely.

"You've heard your lord's words, so go back to your respective residences and rest!" The Roy Wizard was truly worthy of being a strong one among the elite wizards, it only took a short period of time for him to recover some of his strength and energy, and he was able to move as normal again.

He took a cold glance at Grim, who was sitting down, and didn't really have much affection for the guy who had almost caused his own shipwreck. But just now that lord didn't hold Grim accountable for his crime, so he was not good enough to do something in his place.

He could only muffle a snort and turn around and walk somewhere in the distance.

Grim shook his head and laughed bitterly, refusing to be assisted by the Holly Wizard, standing out in front of the dark red blood stain left by the Mangus siblings inside the teleportation array, before slowly returning to the Association Witch Tower inside the Esoda camp.

Grim had only stayed at Camp Esoda for three days to deliver the relevant quests and collect the corresponding rewards, before returning directly to the Wizard World without stopping.

His first stop when he appeared was naturally the same Revitalized Ancient Castle, which was also the only interdimensional teleportation formation in the middle of the continent that had a direct line to the extra-domain.

The procession that greeted him outside the formation was particularly grand, with a total of six rank 4 Sorcerers. Naturally, it included that President Freed, Vice President Milva, and in addition to that, there were the Clara Witch, Elder Nicholas, Elder Matthew, and that golden family with Titan bloodline, Elder Monash Gaia.

The rest of the 4th rank witches or elders were either busy with their sorcery experiments or were out of the domain and had difficulty making it back, otherwise, the welcoming ceremony would have been even more grand and huge.
