Age of Adepts

Scattered Earth Tower Forest, Magic Secret Cave.

This was a hidden location deep underground, and one of the dozen or so secret strongholds created by the Sorcerer's Association in the middle of the continent.

The entire Magic Cave was made up of a winding underground labyrinth that connected five secret dwellings, where a large amount of rare materials and resources were stored.

Yet right now the place was filled with a wolf's howl of miserable screams!

Inside one of the largest and most luxurious sorcery chambers in the Magic Cave, the Severus that had turned into a cloud of black smoke was tumbling and shaking wildly, occasionally condensing his ugly and twisted face from the black smoke, then howling like a wailing man before exploding into a scattered black smoke cloud in a burst of golden flames that appeared out of nowhere.......

Several 3rd rank witches who were also from the Sorcerer's Association were gathered in a corner of the chamber, discussing in low voices the super-powered man's rescue plan. But before they could reach a conclusion to their discussion, their ears were filled with a miserable, sharp roar.

"Bastards, you guys are a bunch of bastards... The Association has used so many resources to train you up, yet you can't even eliminate these Flame Laws. You tell me, what's the point of wanting you bastards?" Once again transformed into human form, Severus was lying on the ground panting heavily, and everywhere on his body could be seen the scorched and withered marks burned by the heat of the flames, the image was miserable and miserable.

But in a whirl, Severus begged, "Hurry up... haven't you guys talked it out yet? Hurry up...all of you...that bastard's Flame Law is going to strike again..."

Before he could finish, fire burst forth inside Severus' bony body, flames flipping. In an instant, his body was blown apart and re-scattered into a tumbling, vibrating cloud of black smoke.

"Four Flame Laws... at least four Law Forces entangled together..." several 3rd rank Elemental Sorcerers had sad faces one by one, helpless in the face of the tricky situation before them.

The power of the laws was not something that could be eliminated by ordinary witch medicine, it needed an equivalent high level power to counteract it. Although there were apothecaries, enchanters, alchemists and summoners present, there was nothing they could do about this kind of law power that only a 4th level sorcerer could touch and control.

Finally, Severus survived the eruption of the Flame Laws, gathering his body once again and screaming frantically, "I want to leave and return to the Sorcerer's Association, you guys quickly open a portal for me. I want to leave go go..."

The several Association Sorcerers looked at each other and could only join hands to pull open a portal in the center of the chamber that led directly to the eastern part of the continent, and that Cerworis almost crawled headlong into it.

After the portal had slowly converged, an old, middle-aged sorcerer frowned, "Lord Severus is gone, so what about the central part of the country? This time we can consider ourselves torn apart from that Crimson Family, just in case..."

"So what if he tears his face off, does he still dare to bring someone to the door?" The other male witch looked indignant.

"It's not easy to say... If they do come to our door, the power of our Sorcerer Association in the central part of the country can't just be wiped out by them. I suggest... we should all scatter and hide for the time being, and the entire central branch go into hiding!"

"Seconded!"

"Agreed!"

"Okay, let's do that, let's split up and get ready!"

After the several Association Shamans finished their deliberations, they immediately blew up into different colored fogs and disappeared into the chamber.

...........

The battle that took place in the Stone Canyon brought a shock to the central part of the continent that was no less than a super earthquake.

The appearance of a super-strong man ignited the enthusiasm and glory of the central shamans.

Countless Shamans were running around telling each other, and countless Shamans were secretly asking questions, and countless versions of the events leading up to and following the Battle of Stone Canyon were created. In each version, the shining star was destined to belong to only one person, the greatest legendary sorcerer born in the middle of that continent - Grim.

Although Grim was still only an intermediate level 4 fire wizard, it would take a long time to become a peak level 4 wizard. But that didn't stop everyone from pushing him to the throne of the number one sorcerer in the middle of the continent right now with a million enthusiasm.

Super strong.... middle of the continent....

For the first time, these two terms were so closely linked.

The meaning it represented could only be fully understood by the Central Wizards who had been discriminated against and ignored.

From then on, the central part of the continent was no longer a desert of sorcerers' talents, nor was it a scattered mess of mud that couldn't be supported by a wall, it had become the fourth largest power that could be compared to the three major sorcerer organizations.

And this was welcomed and expected by almost all Central Wizards except for those large and medium-sized Wizard Families!

And in the midst of this great expectation and welcome from the hearts of the people, the Crimson Family's voice and reputation rose even higher, instantly overshadowing all opposing voices and becoming a worthy super family in the middle of the continent.

After the Great War ended, the situation in the middle of the entire continent became clearer.

Although there were numerous free shamans waving their flags for the Crimson Family and calling for unification, there were endless voices calling for unification. However, in the middle of the continent, it was still the dozen or so 4th rank forces that were truly able to decide the future direction of the entire Scattered Earth Tallinn with a single word.

In the past, a 4th rank sorcerer would have been an unshakeable force!

Even if the outside world made a fierce scene, the dozen or so 4th rank forces were still able to remain unmoved, continuing to maintain the order and majesty of their territory. No ambitious family would easily offend the inherent territory of these 4th rank forces, thus doing something that would harm their interests.

But now, the Crimson Family's momentum was unparalleled, and the voices calling for unification were even more overwhelming. And that much-anticipated Grim's hands had apparently gathered enough power to overturn the inherent pattern of the Scattered Tarin....

In such a situation, even the 4th Order powers that had weathered countless storms and twists became terrified!

Scattered Tallinn is about to change....

After the battle of the Crushing Canyon, the Gold Clan's leader, Monash Gaia, retreated back to the family headquarters to lurk, reportedly recuperating from his injuries.

Originally the Crimson Family's biggest rival in this battle, the Denel Family surprisingly shook itself and became one of the contributors to Crimson's great victory. As a result, the top brass of the Crimson Family and the Denel Family sat in the Gravel Canyon at the same time and began to clear the battlefield there.

On the other hand, Freed and the others who had lost heavily in the war fled back to their own family territories one after another, recruiting troops and joining forces there. The four of them issued a joint declaration that they would never approve of the Crimson Family's brutal rule and vowed to fight the Crimson Family to the end.

However, despite the statement being issued, they never made any move, instead secretly contacting the rest of the 4th ranked witches who had yet to fight in the war, trying to bring them into their camp.

Although the Battle of the Shattered Canyon was a defeat for Freed and the others, that legendary fire witch Grim was also seriously injured after taking on Monash and Severus successively. Freed and the others were privately and wildly proclaiming that Grim's personal strength had fallen below 4th rank due to his injuries and that it would be difficult to fight again for hundreds of years.

Thus, Fried and the others were frantically clamoring that if all the rank 4 witches in the middle of the continent united, they could completely expel that Grim from the Scattered Earth Tower Forest. In this way, the middle of the continent would be able to settle down again, and everyone would still maintain their previous power and position.

And such propaganda would undoubtedly impress those 4th Order Sorcerers very much!

After all, it was far better to control a family and rule a territory yourself than to bend to a strong man's will. The only thing that made the crowd extremely worried was that Grim's injury.

In case Grim's injury wasn't as serious as what Freed and the others had proclaimed, wouldn't it be putting the family's foundation under the knife of a super-powerful person if they went out of their way to do so at this time... It was the existence of this scruple that caused the crowd to be in a dilemma.

And just at this time, a heavy news arrived, finally making it difficult for the crowd to maintain their previous composure and calmness anymore.

That legendary Fire Witch Grim had shown up once again!

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

The September sun was bright and soft.

Sprinkling on everyone, one could perceive a heartfelt warmth and geniality.

The floating giant ship Vassailo was slowly moving through the sky.

At the bow position, Grim, clad in a thick red witch's robe, stood still against the harsh plastic wind that blew against his face.

The bone-scratching berserk healing had severely destroyed his body and caused his stats to drop from the previous 34 points to 18 points. However, the Spirituality item was blessed by the misfortune, and instead rose by 2 points against the trend to 46 points.

Overall, however, Grim's true battle strength was still severely affected, and it would be difficult to return to his previous peak in the near future.

However, his true condition was naturally unknown to the outside world.

And his mere act of showing up again had deeply shocked those with ulterior motives.

A wounded super-strong man was still a super-strong man!

Before finding out his true condition, no 4th rank wizard would dare to move on the head of the too old to stroke the tiger of a super strong man.

"It's been a long time since the middle of the continent has seen a super strong person!" The Clara Witch standing on Grim's side sighed quietly, "I remember 800 years ago, that Sarupo Wizard who was born out of nowhere was also prosperous for a while. Unfortunately, taking in the might of the three great powers, he didn't dare to touch the old pattern of the Scattered Earth Tallinn, and could only be a hurried passerby, soon advancing to the 5th rank and heading out of the domain..."

Hearing the other party's words that seemed like a sigh and a hint, Grim tightened his robes and smiled lightly, "I'm in no hurry! I still have at least four to five hundred years of water grinding to advance to the 5th rank, and in the meantime, it's enough for me to do a lot of things!"

The one standing on the other side of Grim was the 4th level Alchemy Sorcerer Fabreth who had been captured on the battlefield. He couldn't see any restraints or chains on him, but from his dejected appearance, it could be seen that he had lost the capital and confidence to continue his fight against the Crimson Family.

"When are you going to let me go back?" Fabreth said glumly, "After such a big twist and turn, my family is definitely in a mess inside. If we don't go back, I'm not sure if they'll do anything dangerous!"

At Fabreth's weak threat, Grim smiled faintly.

"His Excellency can leave anytime he wants to go back. At this point, His Excellency is always free!"

Fabreth hesitated, turned around and headed for the side of the giant ship.

When he came to the edge of the ship, he finally stopped again, without returning, and slumped, "Don't worry, I, Fabreth, will never go against you again! In the future, the Fabreth family will also follow the Crimson family's lead, and I only hope that you will allow me to keep the family's legacy."

Far away, Grim's voice was heard.

"Deal!"

Fabreth nodded silently, leaping away from the floating giant ship.
