Age of Adepts

Honestly, Grim had never been in such a close fight before!

Even the last time he had fought two super-powerful people alone, Grim had never been in such a mess.

But today, he had experienced what it meant to live and die on a terrifying witch who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, what it meant to be 'my place is my master'....

In fact, Grim hadn't dreamed for centuries since he had been promoted to full wizard.

With the strict and cautious habits that witches had always had, it was also impossible for them to do something that would indulge their spirits and thus create a dream. If a sorcerer did dream, he would not see it simply as some sort of natural instinct, but rather as a feedback from the will of the world.

Either a preview of something, or a warning of something....

The more advanced the sorcerer, the more convinced he is!

The dream that appeared in Grim today was clearly not a reflection of his own spiritual consciousness, otherwise it wouldn't have even mapped out a bit of the familiar reality of the scene. However, the more monotonous and tedious the world was, the greater the constraints Grim was subjected to.

First of all, this dream world was desperately lacking in the element of fire!

Or to put it rudely, the strange witch who had lured Grim in using dream inducing magic had simply banned the fire element from this dream world.

Putting a fire witch into a world without a fire elemental meant that right off the bat, the other side disarmed Grim!

Secondly, in this bizarre dream world, the material elements that built the real world were all gone, and instead, the illusory and hazy spiritual elements were abundantly unimaginable.

This also provided the best place for enemies who excelled at mental suggestion and mind-induction to exert their combat power!

If Grim didn't have a skillful grasp of the plural Laws of Flame, he would be practically unarmed in this world, not even possessing the slightest ability to defend himself.

The good thing was that Grim was not an ordinary sorcerer, the good thing was that this world was still a world, it could isolate the element of fire, but it could never take away Grim's control over the Laws of Flame.

In this dream world that didn't exist in the real world, but only in the spiritual space, the Flame Law was no longer something ethereal and invisible, but had instead become a super weapon that could be manifested at will.

The world was filled with spiritual elements everywhere anyway, making the power of those laws that were originally hidden behind the curtain and driving the operation of the bit world real and materialized was relatively much easier.

Thus, Grim could only discard that past fighting style and began to clumsily and stiffly use the weapons of the Laws.

The reason why he was clumsy was because he was really a bit clumsy.

When fighting in the past, Grim relied almost entirely on the Vulcan Pearl's powerful flame aggregation power to manipulate the fire element. And then when the fire element was aggregated into a true flame sorcery, the corresponding flame laws were attached to it to enhance some aspect of its power.

And now, without the Fire God Pearl to help polymerize the fire element and without the chip's powerful battlefield assistance, the only thing Grim could rely on was the Book of Filth and Darkness in his hands and his own powerful flame laws.

Flame augmentation, flame penetration, flame invisibility, flame impact....

The four Laws of Fire took shape as four different colored clusters of light that lingered around Grim, acting as fire elements.

Grim used his powerful mental energy to shape them into shapes, or transform them into huge four-colored shields to block in front of him, or condense them into arrows of law to return sharp blows to his enemies.

This was the first time Grim had ever used the power of the Laws alone, and thus it was extremely clumsy and stiff. However, fortunately, the Book of Filth and Darkness was still protecting him, and the power of the Laws that came with the Level 5 artifact was well protected by his own consciousness, which was why he wasn't overwhelmed by the harsh attacks of the opposite witch.

The Dream World's restrictions on Grim were undoubtedly enormous!

However, under the pressure of the opponent's harsh offensive, Grim was also highly motivated, and he was actually able to figure out some alternative ways of applying the laws.

This was a dream world, the Fire God Pearl couldn't be summoned, and the Shadow Demon had lost sight of it.

However, with the Book of Filth and Darkness in hand, the Plague Poison Spirit Remy stored inside was summoned without surprise.

Unlike the outside world, all beings presented in the dream world were in the original form of their souls. Therefore, as soon as Remy appeared, a green cluster of light nearly a meter in diameter appeared around Grim's body.

"Where is this? What a strange world shape!" As soon as the green light emerged, it looked around curiously, and its tone seemed to be filled with intense joy.

It was a strange world shrouded in colored mist.

The edges of the world stretched infinitely far into the distance, with almost no end in sight.

Aside from this strange wooden board that was less than a hundred meters square that they were currently based on, everything around them was empty and there seemed to be nothing.

And just above this small battlefield, Grim was engaged in a strange battle with three strange witches.

Outside Grim's body lingered four layers of strange light film of varying colors, and the Book of Filth and Darkness that he held in his hands soared up a layer of even tougher and thicker dazzling boundaries that covered the outside of the light film.

The enemies opposite him, on the other hand, were three exceptionally strange witches.

The Ivana Witch hid in the depths of the mist and rarely attacked, but instead, the two Level 4 Witches under her control wielded their swords, their bodies overflowing with strange and bizarre spiritual fluctuations as they slashed and cleaved around Grim's Dazzle Boundary without stopping.

Every move they made seemed to attract the spiritual elements of the dream world.

Every time their attacks landed on the Law Light Membrane, it would cause the Flame Laws to shake violently. At the same time, a trace of the strange spiritual element would be transmitted into Grim's consciousness, causing him to suffer from mental distress.

To these two strange witches, Grim had also fought back forcefully, nailing one with a super-concentrated arrow of law.

Unfortunately, they didn't seem to be truly conscious bodies, but rather the product of some combination of illusion and spiritual sorcery. After crucifying one, within a few flexes, the depths of the mist would re-illusion and continue to run up and attack.

With their continued attacks, even Grim was outmatched and had trouble actually capturing the location of that Ivana witch. And from the depths of the mist, one or two powerful spirit sorceries also flew out from time to time, each time shaking and shaking the light of the laws held up by the Book of Filth and Darkness.

And in such an environment, Grim's power of the Laws was undoubtedly depleted extremely fast!

So as soon as Remy was summoned, Grim rushed to give him his battle orders.

"Remy, stop fooling around and fend off the enemy for me... I need to research ways to break this dream world!" Grim gave a quick order.

"Leave it to me!" Remy promised, and instantly erupted with a huge, poisonous aura that nearly overturned the entire battle space.

The two Phantom Witches who had just rushed to Grim's side were immediately infested with a green mass, and even their bodies began to melt into a puddle of sticky, foul-smelling green liquid. However, they also cast their swords before they 'died', plunging straight within the green mass.

In the next second, the strongly erupting spiritual elements immediately made Remy scream!

According to the normal power of the law, the land that Remy's ring of poison dumped on would not be able to eliminate the terrible toxicity without ten days and half a month. But here, in this strange world, the poisonous power that Remy had spent a lot of energy to inspire only existed for a couple of fingers, and then it was lost completely under the guidance of a strange power.

This world rejected all magical elements other than spiritual elements, which of course included the power of severe toxicity!

Although it took a lot of energy to maintain the poisonous aura for three seconds, but after all, it had taken out two enemies....

Remy was still complacent when the shadow of a person in the depths of the mist shifted and the two witches rushed out once again grasping their swords. Looking at their appearance and figure, they were almost the same as the first two.

Remy sucked in a breath of cold air, finally understanding why Grim had summoned himself out.

In this bizarre world, the power of its own laws had no progress, depletion of huge can attack power is few. If the battle went on like this for a long time, I'm afraid that even the super strong would be drained and exhausted!

That was why Grim was so eager to get out of here.

He had already seen that this unknown witch was far from reaching the level of a super strong person. The reason why it was so difficult was solely because this dream world gave her too much home field advantage.

However, just as Grim was struggling to figure out a way to break free from this dream world, a miserable, piercing scream suddenly came from the depths of the mists. Following this, a huge eye monster fell from the sky above the mist and smashed down.

In the next moment, the mist shook, the laws flowed across, and the strange witch actually fought with the giant eye monster that had inexplicably appeared.

The Eye Monster was large, but its Nefarious Rank was only a 3rd Stage Primary. If it wasn't for the huge amount of 'despair' elements it had brought along with it in a synchronized roll, it wouldn't even be enough to shine that witch's shoes.

With three strikes, the Mystic Witch took out the strange eye-monster. But this mist was also polluted by the chaotic 'despair' mental element of the fog, which had infested the mental consciousness of every person in it to varying degrees.

Grim hurriedly increased the speed of inputting the spiritual power of the Book of Filth and Darkness, holding open the Light of Law to shield Remy as well.

The terrible 'despair' mental element was like a cloud of ink, and the speed encroached the mist into blackness.

And at this time, the sky was like a black rain of ink, as strands and clusters of spiritual elements imbued with a strong 'despair' atmosphere poured in, frantically invading and devouring everything.

The protective light film held up by the light of the Laws of Filth and Darkness was puffing and crawling with all sorts of dark and strange monsters, with strange and twisted bodies and terrifyingly sharp teeth, frantically gnawing away at the Law power that impacted the light film.

And in the depths of the mist, that mysterious witch's miserable screams were even sharper and more desperate!

What's going on here? Where did this strange force of desperation come from?

Grim was still in deep confusion, but this grotesque and bizarre world was already crunching and starting to fall apart fast....
