Age of Adepts

"Stop!"

Grim snapped harshly.

"Hand over the Water of Source Life and I'll just retreat, this is still your world..."

"Delusional...you trespasser!" The magic pods rubbed against the leaves and made a strange sound, "I will rip you to shreds and use you to water my endless wells!"

"Then let's fight to the death!"

Completely enraged by the disinterest of the magic pods, Grim roared and transformed into a ten-meter tall Flame Giant, his entire body dazzled and wrapped in rushing golden flames, and in both hands he held a huge ball of flaming fire.

The flame giants were still inferior in size to the 300-400 meter-long magic pods, but the terror of the burning sky and sea was even greater. The first time I was in the room was when I was in the room with my wife, I was in the room with my wife, and I was in the room with my husband.

Even with the fierceness and arrogance of the Demon Pod, his spirit trembled with awe.

Silently, energy boiled and breath exploded in the shadows behind the magic pod, and the Shadow Demon's bizarre body slowly emerged from the darkness, its scarlet mechanical eyes staring coldly at the other side.

It could be seen that once the great war broke out again, the three 'men' were absolutely immortal, and had to be separated into life and death winners and losers!

Being attacked back and forth by Grim, who was transformed into a Flame Giant, and Shadow Demon, who resembled a ghostly assassin, the Magic Pod was also apprehensive. It was 70% sure that it would be able to deal with the two in front of it, but... after all, 70% was only 70%, and it still had a 30% chance of dying under the two's attack.

For a 4th stage powerhouse with a long life span, a 30% mortality rate was already high enough....

"These source life waters but I extracted nearly 20% of the water sources of the Wetland Swamp to condense them, and it is also my guarantee to advance to the 5th rank, you don't want to get a single cent..." the magic pod shook its stalks violently, its body that was hundreds of meters long twisting wildly like a snake.

Its tone was still cold and hard, but its attitude had clearly softened a bit.

"We won't take away all of your Source Life Water... just a third of it will be enough!" Grim held up the increasingly violent blazing fireball with both hands, continuing to maintain the terrifying pressure: "Anyway, if you just turtle up here, the Swamp Wetlands guys will never be able to get rid of you. When the time comes, you'll have plenty of ways to slowly gather water and life from the wetlands, it's much better than dying here with us today!"

"Hmph, bastards... you have no idea how hard it is to gather water here. I have the current situation, but it took over four hundred years to reach it, and you guys open your mouths and want to go 1/3. delusion... this is delusion!"

"So we only need a quarter of that total, right? You don't think that the two of us at 4th level aren't worth more than that 1/4 of the water of origin, do you!"

"No, too many! Give you guys a quarter and I'll have problems with my own power-ups..."

"Then 1/5...no less! If you won't even agree to 1/5, then we'll have no choice but to..." at this point, the blazing fire ball in Grim's hand had turned from crimson to gold, and the violent flame energy imbued within was simply palpable.

The magic pod didn't reply, instead quietly observing the changes in the two's expressions with their keen mental perceptions.

Unfortunately, one was the body of a Demonic Armament and the other was the cunning Grim, either one was an expert when it came to haggling and bargaining, and it was simply not something that it, a 'newcomer', could compare to.

Finally, under the extreme intimidation of force, the three of them managed to come to some agreement.

Grim took out nearly a million magic crystals and a large amount of the Wizard World's unique wizard resources to get 1/5 of the Water of Source Life from the magic pod. The initial estimate was 750 grams, while Alice only needed 500 grams to save her life.

Thus, Grim had 250 grams left over for some research of a special nature!

If Grim had a small Material Plane on hand, then this 250 grams of Source Life Water incorporated into it would immediately give this small Plane an additional two or three rivers that stretched for thousands of kilometers and had an extremely abundant amount of water.

This was in fact the true meaning of the existence of the Source Life Water!

...................

The periphery of the Magic Spore Sanctuary.

The violent earthquake had lasted for half a day.

As everyone watched from afar, the mountain range where the Magic Spore Sacred Ground was located collapsed in a terrifying rumbling sound. The dust and swirling earth mist that was raised dumped the entire mountain range underneath.

In a mushroom forest near the Spore Forest, eight diminutive Magic Spores were standing on their tiptoes, hiding in a moss pile and looking into the distance.

Naturally, they had seen everything that had happened in the Holy Land of Magic Spores.

But with their feeble strength, they were obviously not strong enough to participate in such a terrifying battle!

"Uncle, are we making the right or wrong choice this time? The Princess has... changed after all!"

"Yes, Uncle Naru, the princess has become a human witch. Will she...will she still treat us like she did before?"

The shortest and oldest of the Demon Spores, stroking the roots of his withered jaws and beard, said quietly, "Our destiny in the Demon Spore clan is always the same, to always be at the mercy of the strong! After this, the Demon Spore clan will definitely suffer a great change, and I'm afraid our fate will not be too good if we continue to stay here."

"What about Princess-sama? Has she gained a firm foothold in the Otherworld, and can she...can she shelter us?" A slightly younger, slightly less magical spore man couldn't help but murmur.

However, without waiting for that Naru to open his mouth to reply, a clear and crisp male voice suddenly rang out behind them.

"If you don't believe Emelia's assurances, then you should always believe the words of a 4th rank wizard!"

Suddenly hearing the voice of an outsider, several of the Demon Spores paled in fear and looked back.

Only then did they realize that at some point, a human male sorcerer dressed in a red robe and holding a witch's staff was standing behind them. Standing beside the human male sorcerer was the Princess Emelia, whom they kept mentioning.

As for the unremarkable Remy in the corners, no one cared at all.

"Princess, you've managed to escape from the Holy Land... You, you didn't meet Faunson there, did you? Thank God, you guys escaped really fast, or you definitely wouldn't have escaped from that Faun Sen's clutches. Look, when that Faun Sen gets angry, even the Sacred Mountain Range is about to collapse..."

Listening to Naru's broken chatter, Emelia interrupted it directly without good grace.

"Naru, stop chattering there and come meet Lord Grim! He, but my current Lord of the House...the Lord of the House had just come out of the Mjolnir Sanctuary, and that Faunson had been killed by him! Even the Sacred Ground Mountain Range was destroyed by him..."

Hearing Emelia's words, the few Demonic Spores couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air, looking at Grim with a look of admiration and awe in their eyes. Especially when their eyes fell on the withered human head hanging from Grim's belt, they looked terrified and uneasy.

The human head... it was the head of the Demonic Spore Clan Leader Faunson!

Although this head had withered and deformed, the strange complexion, the fierce eyebrows, was precisely the Faun Sen that everyone was familiar with.

With this head to testify, the few magic spores no longer dared to doubt a single thing, and one by one, they fell to their knees, not even daring to look directly at Grim's awe-inspiring magical breath.

"You stay here with them until I return, Remy will protect you!" Grim didn't even bet on the eyes of a few Mjolnir Spores, but simply instructed Emelia.

"My lord, don't we need to leave immediately? Where are you... where are you planning to go?" Emelia inquired in surprise.

"Collect the bill!" Grim gritted his teeth, "I have another batch of bills to collect here..."

With that said, he left this mushroom forest without looking back.

............

Two days later.

Wizard World, Destiny Gauntlet.

The dense white light inside the transmission array overflowed, lasting for half a quarter of an hour before the ultra-long-range inter-dimensional transmission was completed.

When the white light slowly dissipated, Grim, Emelia and Remy, as well as eight strange figures of varying heights, appeared in the formation.

"You guys are finally back... right, did you bring back the Water of Source Life?" The little elf Helen, who had been worriedly waiting in front of the teleportation array, flew to Grim, circling and whirling unceasingly, her sharp voice even more with a touch of trembling.

Grim did not say anything, but instead felt a flat wooden jug from his belt and gently shook it, from which came the sound of clattering clear water.

"Just get it back...just get it back..." little Helen's words were all tinged with a hint of tears, "Alice is running out of life. That time toxin still seems to be accelerating..."

"How does this stuff work?" Grim solemnly said.

"Leave it to us at ease! The necessary ritual items have been prepared, just waiting for you to bring back the Water of Source Life... Come, let's begin immediately..."

A moment later, the Tower of Destiny, which had been silent for some time, suddenly shone brightly again, as a milky-white pillar of strange light pierced through the haze over the Dragon Bone Wilderness, bringing down a poetic and dreamlike starlight from the vault of the sky.

Immediately, the mysterious and mysterious Long River of Fate faintly appeared over the Fate Tower, from which countless radiant stars fell, aiming straight for the Tower.

At the moment the stars fell, a tall and beautiful sorceress emerged, spreading her arms and letting the stars fall into her body.

As more and more stars fell, the more dense they became, the more the figure of the beautiful witch became condensed and real.

Finally, when the long river of fate gradually disappeared, the beautiful witch Ug turned around, and her body, which was a thousand meters tall, had a pair of starry beautiful eyes that burst out with a dazzling brilliance that made one's heart tremble....
