Age of Adepts

Giant Rock Castle, the Great Wizard's living area.

This was a separate living area that was completely isolated from the rest of the castle, and the only people who could enter here were the Grand Sorcerers.

Grim walked through the bright and spacious stone tunnels by himself, turning a few corners before finally arriving at a wooden door.

Thud....

After the wooden door knocked, there was a long wait before a middle-aged male wizard with a gloomy face and a vicious green lizard on his shoulder opened the door.

He gave Grim a sullen glance with a bad face and said, "What for?"

"You're the Caron wizard from the mountain netherworld, aren't you?"

"Yes, I am! You are?"

"My name is Grim, from the Wizarding World, and I was hoping to ask you a favor today?" Grim was all smiles.

"Grim...wizarding world...never heard of it..." the Caron wizard mouthed, obviously not Likes to be disturbed when he's resting. But seeing as Grim was a sorcerer from the Lord's Plane, he let him in with his anger pushed down.

As the top warriors of the witch camp, the dwellings of the great wizards would naturally not be too shabby.

With the spatial expansion technology, the original room that was only one to two hundred square meters was expanded into a huge space of tens of thousands of square meters, which was even divided and laid out according to the personal preferences of the great sorcerers into completely different areas and environments.

In addition to the large meeting room, study room, bedroom and bathroom, it also included the essential meditation room, sealing room, elemental altar, alchemy laboratory and other witchcraft facilities.

Here, the great witches could complete their desired sorcery experiments almost without leaving home.

This Caron Sorcerer was apparently an earth rule sorcerer with a natural affinity for the earth element. The only thing that was placed in the middle of the desert was a lounge chair and a parasol under a date palm tree.

Other than that, nothing else foreign could be seen in the entire desert.

The Karon wizard took only three or two steps with Grim before instantly crossing the vast desert to the date palm tree.

"Now that we're here, we might as well sit down and talk!"

Caron first got comfortable in the chair, then with a wave of his hand, the yellow sand beneath Grim's feet quickly bulged and shaped into a recliner. In the next second, the yellow sand peeled off and a brand new, soft rattan lounge chair emerged.

This kind of elemental anthropomorphization was basically what a 4th rank wizard could do.

However, a fourth-grade shaman can only anthropomorphize into the most basic elemental substances, and cannot anthropomorphize other substances with more complex structures. The anthropomorphic rattan chair was obviously much more difficult than the anthropomorphic wooden chair.

Grim smiled and sat down.

As he sat down, a stream of earth fire erupted from the depths of the yellow sand, instantly fusing the rattan lounge chair into a black and red lava stone chair.

"I'd rather sit in this chair..." laughed Grim lightly.

"Sit on whatever you feel comfortable in." The Caron wizard responded with a smile, seemingly unconcerned with Grim's actions just now, but the earthy yellow storm that was slowly swirling in the depths of his pupils was not as calm as it appeared.

This was his residence, and the witch formations, runes, energies, and all the stray magical energies within were all under the direct control of his spiritual consciousness. This Grim was able to change the local spatial environment with the hard shape of his own elemental rules, 'taking away' a tiny bit of elemental control from Caron.

This... had already demonstrated his profound rules skills and great strength from one side!

Despite his indignation, the Caron Wizard's attitude towards Grim became a little more cautious.

"Is there something special that His Excellency Grim has come to see me about?"

"It's nothing, I just heard that the Caron Wizard is extremely adept at biological transformation, so I came here to ask for help..."

"You want me to build a witch beast?" The Caron Wizard seemed to be extremely proud of his skill, and his face was filled with pride as he heard this, "I'm afraid this won't do! I've recently been busy concocting a peak level 4 war witch beast, I'm afraid..."

After transforming into finished, the Caron Wizard Ug stopped speaking, looking horrified as the remains of a monster with a body size of 7 meters suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Multi-armed giant... still 5th rank... the body is still so intact..."

The Caron Wizard leapt up from the recliner and fluttered onto the side of the multi-armed giant's remains, not caring about the dirt and scorch marks on it, stroking the coarse, needle-like hairs with his hand and carefully began to examine it.

"Tier 5... really Tier 5... if I'm not wrong, this multi-armed giant should have been Tier 5 Advanced in life, earth affinity... unfortunately... you guys were too ignorant to protect your trophies during the battle, causing more than 35% of its body to be damaged... but it's good that the internal demonic organs are still there..."

"Wait, where's the heart of this multi-armed giant? It's the most important demonic organ in its body! And where's its head? Since it had reached 5th rank advanced, it must have condensed the Petrifying Crystal... Where was the Petrifying Crystal? You're not going to lose that petrified crystal, are you?"

The Crystal of Fossilization?

Grim frowned slightly and casually took out the multi-armed giant's strange one-eye again from inside the flame variance space, tossing it in his hand and asking, "You mean this?"

The Caron Wizard turned his head and saw the huge, earthy yellow crystal, and immediately rushed over, grasping it in his hands and turning it over and over to examine it. Not even reassuring his eyes, he held the petrified crystal tightly and stimulated a trace of petrified power inside.

A thin, swimming thread-like earth-yellow ray struck the armrest of the rattan recliner. In the next second, the bizarre petrifying power spread and stretched rapidly inside the recliner and even conducted into the yellow sand below, condensing the recliner, the coconut tree, the umbrella, and the surrounding ten-meter radius of yellow sand into grayish-white stone.

"What pure petrifying power!" The Caron Sorcerer couldn't help but slurp and exclaim, seeing that he simply couldn't get enough of this Petrified Crystal. If Grim wasn't at the same level as him, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to resist grabbing it hard.

"Caron Wizard, you haven't given me a paraphrase yet! With these materials, can you help me make them into a 5th rank witch beast?" Grim had to speak up to interrupt Calron's madness.

"Hard... hard... too hard..." muttered Caron, unable to stop himself.

"Can't build it?" Grim paled, somewhat unexpectedly.

"It's not that it can't be built, but the Multi-Armed Giant's original body is somewhat severely damaged, and there will be a certain amount of battle power degradation as a result when it is successfully built. If I don't have the Petrified Crystal, I only have the certainty of transforming it into a 5th-rank primary. Right now, it's even a 5th-rank intermediate grasp that's quite large!" Caron was still muttering to himself, his eyes filled with intense regret.

Don't look at the fact that he was already a Tier 5 Grand Sorcerer, and also possessed extremely proficient biological transformation techniques, but he was struggling to find suitable Tier 5 biological materials, and could only take Tier 4 materials and cobble them together there.

Being limited by the materials, being able to transform a peak Level 4 Sorcerer Beast already shows that he has extraordinary skills!

"5th rank intermediate..." chanted Grim.

He had only just advanced to 5th rank beginner, and he could have an additional 5th rank intermediate witch beast in his hand, or an earth witch beast that was best at defense. This seemed to be overjoyed already.

However, Grim wasn't satisfied with this, instead, he pondered for a bit and took out a soul crystal from the Flame Exotic Space and asked lightly, "What if we add the soul of this multi-armed giant?"

"Souls? You have the soul of the Dobby Giant as well?" Caron was horrified, then finally figured out a question: "The body, petrified crystals and soul are actually in your possession, did you kill this multi-armed giant alone?"

It was no wonder that Caron had this question.

For them, the 5th rank great sorcerers, to kill a 5th rank advanced demon on their own, they could never do it on their own, they could only work as a team and have to go through a life and death struggle.

Even if they were lucky to succeed, the so-called loot would have to be shared by the entire team. Under such circumstances, it would be extremely rare for a participant to get 1/5 or 1/6 of the loot.

And now, Grim clearly had nearly all of the loot to himself!

This...seems only possible if he *alone* kills the multi-armed giant.

In response to Caron's question, Grim only explained a few words lightly.

"It's nothing strange. Didn't the magic tide erupt before? This multi-armed giant is a calamitous little lord who couldn't think of anything on his own and came to our Wizard World to cause trouble... Hehe, I only went to the trouble of killing it while its power within the bit was greatly reduced!"

"Hiss... "Caron couldn't help but suck in air as if he had a toothache.

This Grim Wizard's luck was too good to even come across such a good thing....

Caron was filled with envy and hatred.

However, where did he know that when Grim killed this multi-armed giant, its own level hadn't reached the peak of the 4th rank. If he had known that, I'm afraid his shock would have been eight or ten times his original level!

"Well, Caron Sorcerer, you still haven't told me, with the soul of a Dobby Giant, can you create a 5th rank advanced witch beast?" Grim finally managed to ask the question he was most concerned about.

"It's very likely!" Caron bowed his head for a moment and gritted his teeth, "With the Petrified Crystal and a little bit of resources, you can fill in the missing parts of this multi-armed giant through flesh and blood regeneration. But you should also be prepared for the fact that with the crucial head and heart missing, the final finished product will definitely decay in color."

"And with the multi-armed giant's soul, the created witch beast will have more strange skills out of thin air, and there's a chance that it will become your contracted soul beast..."

"I've got soulbeasts!"

"Give it up! You know, it's probably a 5th rank advanced spirit beast, better than you..." before finishing his sentence, Caron's face twisted a bit as he looked at the 5th rank Plague Poison Spirit that Grim had released from a book-shaped artifact.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck... you... you kid can't be the illegitimate son of some high ranked Grand Sorcerer!"
