Age of Adepts

Chapter 1314 Clearing the Periphery

Honestly, Grim had never experienced such a bizarre battle!

That mysterious and inscrutable enemy had failed on its own before Grim could even think of a strategy to deal with it. And the reason for its failure was surprisingly the intervention of a third party force.

The reason for the failure was that a third party had intervened. Grim, who had been disturbed and was unable to understand what was going on, was only stunned when he saw a blossom in front of his eyes and his mental consciousness retreated back to his body beside the desk in the cabin.

Grim's originally dazed eyes brightened, and the snoring stopped abruptly. The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the book of darkness, and then you will see the book of darkness in your hand.

With the Fire God Pearl's powerful increase, Grim immediately caught a sharp whiff of rapidly fading law fluctuations.

Apparently the mysterious witch had realized that the assault had failed and was in the middle of an emergency retreat.

Grim smiled, his mental energy highly concentrated, instantly condensing a huge amount of law power, following the trace of the fluctuating strand in the void that had not completely faded, and even chased after her across space.

Just like a muddy ox entering the sea, the enormous power put into it instantly drifted away. As that strange fluctuation disappeared without a trace, it was unknown if it had caused any damage to the enemy.

After another half day of gazing and sweeping to make sure that the mysterious enemy had completely disappeared, Grim put his mind at ease and lightly coughed out a mouthful of black blood as his spirit relaxed.

Seemingly sensing the riot of Grim's mental energy, a red light flashed in the center of the cabin, but it was actually Mary who had come across the sky by virtue of short-range instantaneous movement.

"What happened? How did you suddenly muster such a huge amount of power? Is there an enemy? ... "Mary followed up with a thousand questions in one breath, her eyes sweeping to the residual blood on Grim's lips, her brow standing on end and instantly snatching at him with a stern voice, "Where is the enemy?"

Grim shook his head and laughed, "Gone already!"

"Which side?"

"It's supposed to be the Northland Witch's side...we just can't tell yet if it's her personal move or the whole Northland Witch thing."

"The Northland Witch? Do you know who she is?" Mary's expression became more and more fierce, looking like she was going to choose someone to kill.

"It's a 4th rank witch, good at illusion and dream killing, shouldn't be hard to check!"

"Well, these Northland witches are getting over the top! Now that they've all dared to openly come out and assassinate you, it's about time we taught them a lesson... "Mary hated the sound of her voice, "Northland also has a few strongholds in the middle of the country, I'm going to send someone to kill them one by one!"

"Don't be impulsive!" Grim grabbed Mary backhandedly and shook his head: "Now is the moment for the Central to determine the ultimate victor, must not make any trouble at this time. Let's just take down this revenge this time, and we'll settle with them bit by bit after we unify Central... Besides, I just gave her a hard time at the end, and I believe that this blow wasn't that easy for her to endure..."

Words filled Grim with the confidence of his new power!

"Then I'll move in here! Save some other bastard from running around looking for a bargain while you're hurt..." said Mary indignantly.

"Well, I dare you!" Grim's face immediately showed a look of joy at the news.

Mary caught a glimpse of it, and her heart fluttered, and the anger that filled her face immediately turned into a wave of shyness, and she gave him a fierce white look.

The aura of austerity in the room immediately sloshed away, and instead a strong charming smell surged up!

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

"Bastard...bastard...bastard..."

Land of the Arctic, Land of the Cold Wind.

A series of sharp curses were heard from inside the witch tower that stood pinned in the middle of the Whistling Plains.

"Leona, you bastard, I can't believe you're still alive after all these years... Damn it, my plans are all messed up by you!"

A mysterious witch fully wrapped in a pitch-black scarf was cursing loudly in rage. In front of her eyes, the 4th level illusion crystal that had been following her for 600 years and was known as 'Paradise Lost' rolled down onto the cold and bone-chilling ground with a loud cracking sound, falling apart and breaking into pieces.

From the shattered crystal, a black and terrifying substance was emitted, which was the 'despair' released by the Liliana Witch at the cost of burning her soul and borrowing her blood.

Ordinary people who were tainted by a single star, would ironically be assimilated by this intense despair, thus becoming a murderous fiend with a twisted mind and a grotesque personality. Even if those formal witches touched it, they would be contaminated into monsters who only knew how to kill and self-mutilate.

Even a 4th rank witch like Ivana did not want to be entangled in such strong negative emotions. After all, trying to clean up such emotions with strong and extreme hatred would also take a considerable amount of her effort.

However, just as she was furiously cursing that self-inflicted Lyanna, Ivana raised her head and looked up at the dome of the hall incredulously. There, a one-meter diameter spatial wormhole was suddenly created, from which a frightening torrent of flames rushed out wildly....

And these, not even ordinary magical flames, but... but pure and refined flame laws gathered together... this was what Ivana feared the most!

"Mix..."

Ivana's face changed dramatically, and she only had time to slap a beast-tooth witchcraft hanging from her neck before her entire body was engulfed by the raging fire of the law.

In the next moment, the towering Sorcerer's Tower shook with an awkward tremble, spewing out tens of meters long tongues of crimson fire from the windows and cracks on the top floor, and a smoky, burnt smell instantly spread throughout the arena.

The Sorcerer's Gauntlet also ignited with thick black smoke that could be clearly seen from dozens of miles away.

A moment later, an ear-splitting scream that tore through the clouds spread across the plains.

"Grim, I'm not done with you..."

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

Half a month later....

The huge flying fleet passed through territory after territory, flying over one high mountain after another.

Finally, the front was wide open.

The tall mountains were left behind, the rolling forest and sea were fading away, and what emerged was a vast expanse of green oil fields and large human settlements.

There were villages, towns, cities, farmlands, and manors...and of course, more than that, there was a strange and distinctive-looking castle and villa.

As the most magnificent witchcraft buildings, the Wizard's Towers were a worthy focus of power no matter where the region was. They were like watch towers planted on the earth, using their powerful witchcraft abilities to spread the will of the witches to every corner of the world.

This was already the territory ruled by the Entom family!

At this point, the Crimson Fleet did not hastily advance on Keslin Castle, but split into three, led by Grim, Mary and Ames, and began to sweep up the Entom Family's outlying Witch Tower strongholds.

As long as it was a property nominally belonging to the Entom Family, whether it was a manor, castle or a densely populated city, the Crimson Fleet would flaunt its presence, driving out and hunting down the core members of the Entom Family.

For those who are stubborn, no matter if they are hiding in the castle or the manor, a single shot from the floating giant ship's magic cannon will cause them to vanish into ashes and their souls to disappear.

An ordinary building like this, even with the protection of the Sorcerer's Array, cannot withstand the overhead bombardment of the Magic Cannon. If one cannon didn't work, then two, if two didn't work, then three... Anyway, this wasn't his territory, Grim didn't bother to dilly-dally with the other side, nor would he send troops to occupy it. But anyone who didn't restrain themselves, without saying a word, it was directly a giant cannon blast.

With the power of the magical giant cannon, it was a mild threat to 4th ranked witches and a deadly threat to 3rd ranked witches.

Therefore, even if those Entom Sorcerers rushed out to fight for their lives, they wouldn't be able to withstand the repeated bombardment of the Magic Energy Giant Cannon and Magic Energy Cannon. If they were really close, a single set of fire from a battle magic weapon could cause them to be pulverized to pieces.

As for those wizard towers located in key areas, they were even more of a focus for the Crimson Fleet to uproot.

Rokor City.

A large city located between the Impran Hills and the Ksali River, it was also the largest and most prosperous location of the Entom Family in the Eranik region.

And of course a large wizard tower had been built here!

When Grim led the three floating giant ships to stop three miles outside the city, perched on top of the clouds, silently overlooking the human city below him, which was the size of a chessboard, with the powerful sorcery, he could still see the panicked human figures running around inside the city.

On the other hand, the tall Sorcerer Tower was like a gray stone pillar standing quietly in the middle of the city, surrounded by layers and layers of dense force field protection, with an incomparably large amount of magical energy flowing through the tower.

The entire city could no longer sense the presence of a single sorcerer, and all of the Entom Family sorcerers had hid in the Sorcerer's Tower, putting up all sorts of sorcery protection inside and secretly watching the Crimson Fleet's every move.

To be honest, they thought that the Crimson Fleet had come here just to show off, and never thought that the other side had the ability and determination to capture the Sorcerer's High Tower.

"Shout to them! If they are willing to come out and surrender, they can keep their lords and lands here, otherwise, we'll attack by force!" Grim gazed down indifferently and ordered the fleet to command the Rock Wizard.

Rock Wizard took the order and immediately used a kind of super huge loudspeaker to broadcast Grim's words multiple times to the entire city of Rokor. The huge sound wave reached every corner of the city and also made the city's inhabitants on tenterhooks.

Surrender was naturally out of the question!

The rank 2 wizard stationed at this witch tower immediately rejected Lock Wizard's 'suggestion' and responded viciously, "If you have enough guts, come and attack! We will wipe you out completely and utterly under the Witch Tower..."

Having encountered such a thorn in his side, Grim was naturally overjoyed.

At his signal, the flagship Vassailo and the remaining two floating giant ships slowly moved forward, gradually bringing the wizard tower into the attack range of the magic energy cannon.

In the next second, the Vassailo's hull trembled, and a dazzling and terrifying red mane pierced through the sky and struck the Sorcerer's Tower viciously.
