Age of Adepts

"Chip, haven't you found the bastard yet?"

"Drip, panoramic scan and terrain terrain matching have been activated...no anomalies found so far...suggesting the main body cast flame light waves with flame rules at its core for rules scan..."

"Flame light waves? Is this the application of the flame rule you just deduced?"

"Yes! After crossing the 4th level and entering the 5th level, it could be said that the sorcerer itself had undergone a qualitative change, and the past ways and means of fighting were no longer applicable to enemies of the Great Sorcerer level. Therefore, discovering and deducing advanced applications of the power of the rules had become a priority. Otherwise, the main body will lack the means to deal with the Great Sorcerer level enemies!"

Grim nodded silently.

This mysterious enemy was hiding so deeply and warranted a special warning from the Bit Consciousness... all these signs indicated that the other side really might be far beyond the realm of ordinary enemies and would be a formidable Stage 5 opponent.

Which side would it be?

Misa, the Coven, or maybe the Silver League?

If it was the Sorcerer's Association, with such powerful backup, it should have been a priority to reinforce the Moabuchi Valley, and how could it be dispatched to the middle of the continent?

The Silver Alliance and themselves had had an agreement before the war, and as long as they didn't particularly harm their interests, there was no reason for them to go to such lengths to send in such a formidable opponent?

So, could it be another assassin from the Great Witch of Misa?

When he thought about it, Grim had a secret hatred in his heart.

It could be said that the rough and tumble of his journey was almost like growing up with the various schemes and calculations of that Misa Grand Witch. If he had the ability and opportunity in the future, he would never mind pulling that wretched fellow down from the altar and stepping into the mud viciously.

That was the only way to vent the fire of frustration in his chest!

"Send me the sorcery model of the flame light wave!" Grim ordered in a low voice.

In the next second, an unusually large stream of data surged and tumbled in his mind, and swiftly transformed into a three-dimensional and intricate model of a strange spirit.

1027 magic circuits, 368 energy nodes, 13,119 rune lines, and the rune marks involved covered the three major power systems of arcane, sorcery, and magic energy, numbering up to 689....

Such a complicated witch array is only a simple and simple probe witchcraft of the 5th level, thus one can also imagine how difficult the other 5th level witchcraft are!

And more importantly, it could no longer be the past magic elements that drove such a 5th rank sorcery, but the power of rules. This also meant that even if this sorcery model was given to a 4th rank sorcerer, he would not be able to cast it.

Although Grim had quenched the rule flames, his spirit power was clearly not up to par. With the power of the Fire God Pearl, he might be able to exorcise it one or two times in advance, but if he wanted to exert the true power of 5th rank sorcery, he might have to wait until he actually advanced to 5th rank.

Since the chip had already deduced this 'Flame Light Wave', by transmitting it into Grim's mind, Grim would also have access to all the information and messages of this sorcery.

This also meant that although it was Grim's first time casting this flame light wave, his heart was already familiar with this sorcery, just like a veteran who had already released it a thousand times without the slightest hint of strangeness or dullness.

After closing his eyes and meditating for a moment, Grim Ug opened his eyes as he transformed into a thousand-meter giant, and swiftly gave an order with his terrifyingly extreme spiritual perception.

"All wizards present immediately enter the Witch Tower!"

Without an explanatory reason, without any premise, Grim's order was quickly communicated to the minds of every human wizard who was busy near the Great Space Rift.

Although there were some doubts, no one dared to question the orders of a super-powerful man!

Thus, after only half a quarter of an hour, the circumference of the great spatial rift that was densely packed just a moment ago had become silent, and there was no longer half a soul to be seen.

"Kangenas, are you going to hide first or are you going to watch the fun from here? I've got an unexpected visitor here and I want to force it out!" Grim's mental energy quickly connected again to the demigod witch demon, Congenas.

It was currently on a high ground, pulling out a small and delicate alchemical creation, throwing it to the ground and in the blink of an eye, it expanded into a magic laboratory covering an area of a hundred meters.

Hearing Grim's question, it straightened its body in surprise, and the soulfire hidden behind the large ruby orbits of its empty eyes repeatedly scanned the entire area, but it didn't find anything unusual or odd.

No way, not only was Grim this guy's attack power scary, but he was also better at detection than himself?

While slandering under his breath, Congenas smirked as he said, "Do what you want! I don't participate..."

Honestly, it also wanted to see what kind of means this Grim had to force out an enemy that it couldn't even detect. If it could learn a little bit about the use of high level power from it, even if it had to take some risks and be frightened, it would be worth it.

Having gotten an answer from Kangenas, Grim no longer hid it.

He leaned down his massive body, scanned the empty battlefield with a glaring gaze, and said in a deep voice, "This distinguished guest, are you going to show yourself or be beaten out by me, hmm?"

The earth was empty, and only the scorched black bedrock of the meiji exposed revealed the terrifying nature of the previous battle.

"Hmph, then come out!"

Grim softly stormed, his hands raised, and an unusually large Witch Formation light and shadow emerged around his body. An unbelievably large amount of flames tumbled out from his palm, turning into a strange ripple of light and fire that quickly spread out in all directions.

Without the terrifying momentum of the previous Indestructible Flame that burned the heavens and the sea, it carried with it a strange and extremely strange wave of rules. Wherever it went, the sky remained the same, the earth remained the same, and everything in the heavens and the earth remained the same, as if these rule ripples had no killing power.

But the strange thing was that when the light waves flowed to the old shaman's feet, the flame rules contained within it and the sorcery protection outside of his body actually triggered a strange reaction to the rules.

As if he had used a developing potion, the old sorcerer suddenly emerged from his spot and fell into Grim and Magnus's mental perception.

Someone really...that was Congenas' first reaction!

This flame ripple is so peculiar, it makes the flame play out the characteristics of light fluctuations, has that Grim been able to use the flame rules skillfully? ...This is the truest reaction of the Congenas!

And the one who showed the same surprise as Kangenas was the old wizard who suddenly appeared.

With his mouth wide open and his eyes wide open, he looked as if he had seen a ghost as he watched Grim's hands raised high and his body haunted by the witch formation.

No, ghosts would probably have to flinch in fear when they saw this old wizard. A ghost that wasn't a terrifying apparition of stage 4 or higher wouldn't even be qualified to let the old sorcerer look directly at it.

Once again, Grim felt the pain of transforming into an inhuman state.

The kilometer tall body looked majestic on the outside, and could pick off the clouds above his head with a raised hand. But trying to lean down and communicate with this old wizard was simply a great crime.

Grim bent down and swept his gaze coldly over this old wizard.

The flame light wave that had just brushed against the old wizard had bounced back from another wave of rule power. This was a clear indication that the seemingly insignificant fellow in front of him was an authentic rule sorcerer.

Looking at his age and strength, he seemed to be above himself!

This made Grim extra vigilant as well.

In his mind, he quickly topographed the figure and appearance of the other party, and compared it with the chip database of all the known strong people of the wizard world, but he couldn't find any match with them.

Grim and the other party looked at each other for a moment, and a gentle smile finally appeared on his face.

"I wonder who your Excellency is? Why did you come here to peep?"

Grim, despite having suppressed his voice, the variation brought about by his massive size still made his voice as low as muffled thunder.

As the sound rolled across the ground, even the bedrock exposed by the mantle around the old wizard's body trembled and buzzed a bit.

"It seems he was indeed right, and I indeed should not have come back this time!" The old wizard replied by shaking his head and sighing.

Whirling around, he stared up at Grim again with a strange face and asked, "Kid, how in the world did you master that sorcery just now? If I'm not wrong in my estimation, you've possessed the Flame Rule for no more than thirty days. That short thirty days of terror isn't enough time for you to master a 5th level sorcery, is it?"

Others might not know, but the old wizard, as a great wizard who had survived for thousands of years, naturally knew the hardships.

Anyone whose soul source underwent a sudden qualitative change was afraid that the adaptation phase alone would take up to ten years. Not to mention abandoning the past low-level energy operation and rebuilding a brand new sorcery power with the power of rules as its core.

Even the old sorcerer had taken a hundred years to find out his first 5th stage sorcery. The hardships and ups and downs of that, I'm afraid only he himself knew.

Now, suddenly seeing a guy who raised his hand and released his 5th stage sorcery, he naturally had to look at the other party with the same eyes he looked at monsters!

Is there really a world of untutored wizard geniuses in this world!

But even a wizard genius can't go against the grain to such an extent!

This...this was a complete reversal of the old wizard's outlook!

In order to solve the problem in his heart, the old sorcerer squeezed out a 'benevolent' smile on his face and said warmly, "Kid, as long as you honestly explain how you learned this 5th stage sorcery, I can guarantee that I won't find you any trouble today?"

It really is here to cause trouble....

Grim sighed, his color turning solemn, and said, "What if I'm not going to say anything?"

"Hehe, then you'll regret your choice!" The old wizard sneered heedlessly.

For some reason, he was able to faintly pull the world to rise and fall with him as his appearance moved.

The power of rules... the terrifying power of rules!
