Age of Adepts

Divine battles are never terrifying!

Just beyond the barriers of the Black Mountain Bit, a new battlefield had been ignited.

Those who were able to participate in battles at this level were all gods of 5th rank or higher, or else just the battle aftermath that spilled out from the core battlefield could have strangled it cleanly.

Grim and the three flame splitters transformed into ten-meter-tall flame giants, chasing after Hall's godly body with a wave of flame and a powerful and ferocious flame sorcery.

The Hunting God Hall was also worthy of being an old battle deity, his body shimmering with divine light, a series of illusory and realistic figures making it difficult to capture his true position.

Due to the existence of the Fraudster's head ring, Grim was unable to lock onto the opponent with his spirit, so he could only use ranged fire sorcery to slightly erode the glow of the opponent's divine power outside his body. Even if an occasional sorcery hit the opponent, it was often useless due to his almost perverted divine dodge.

Instead, instead, the flaming barrier held up outside of Grim's body was snapped by Hall's bow and arrow, splattering large puffs of fire plume fragments.

Grim was on fire and stormed out, "Don't think you're the only one with an artifact!"

In the next moment, the Book of Filth and Darkness emerged in his left hand and began to flip rapidly.

When the flipping pages of the book Ug stopped at a certain page, a flame model drawn with fine and complicated magic patterns on it was projected, then quickly lit up, turning into a fierce flame sorcery flying towards Hall.

On the other side, the three flame bilocations quietly fused into one, then abruptly fired two flame rays across the sky from their eyes. Even with Hall's high agility and dodging, it was beyond his ability to dodge the rays with such a huge range.

Zzzzzzzzz....

The power of flames as if they were laser rays swept through the void, while that God of Hunting, Hall, with his characteristic agile form, dodged the attacks of the flame splitters by thrusting left and right between the flames.

"Chip, can you track down Hall's original body! If we can't lock on to the target, none of those powerful flame sorceries can be unleashed..." commanded Grim quickly.

"Drip, full spectrum elemental scan has begun... perceiving the effects of special divine rules... unable to specifically lock on to targets..."

"Beginning to switch to rules scanning..."

"Drops, tracking special divine rule trajectory, dynamic capture system being established..."

After a series of chip cues, the vision that Grim's eyes saw began to change in a strange way. A large number of elemental color blocks and rule marks appeared in different colors within the vision field.

All that walked, must leave traces!

Especially inside the vast and expansive world of the Star Ocean, the backdrop of the entire void wasn't an empty nothing, but a dense tide of undulating and vibrating magical power.

So many divine creatures fought and traveled here, their bodies breaking through the tides of magic, their divine power stirring up ripples of magical power, their outbursts of power curling up into monstrous waves of magic....

No matter how stealthy they were, no matter how deviated they were to deceive their enemies' mental perceptions, the magical background they were in revealed their location.

The Hall, who had always been able to swim between the stone spears of the ten-armed giant and the igniting rays of the flaming billet, had finally been roughly locked in by Grim for the first time.

One of the main reasons why it was only roughly locked, rather than completely locked, was that Hall's original body was shrouded in a dazzling layer of divine light, making it impossible to directly see through to his original body, and only a vaguely shadowy image of a tall and glorious figure could be seen.

This... was the bizarre divine feature of that Fraudster's head ring!

While the other party was being attacked by the ten-armed giant and the flame splitter for a while, Grim didn't hesitate to add another fire. That freshly baked 'Flame Refraction' turned into a cloud of golden light flame and threw it over.

It was a flame sorcery that came with a chasing feature.

That golden flame of light chased after Hall's shimmering body, leaving behind an eye-catching trajectory of flame on the vast empty battlefield. The ignition rays of the flame splitters also immediately knew the opportunity to surround and kill.

Hall, who was blocked by the intense attacks, finally had no way to escape.

In the face of the compound attack that came like an overwhelming sea, Hall grunted, and finally managed to hold up his divine shield.

Boom boom boom....

Pfffft....

The impenetrable flame attacks and strange and powerful ignition rays hit the Divine Shield, but apart from the firestorm, they didn't damage Hall's body, which was hiding in them, at all.

And with the protection of the shield, Hall also exploded with a wave of swift counterattacks.

Divine Power Shockwave!

Energy blast!

Two violent divine arts in quick succession drew the Ten-Armed Giant and the Flame Splitter straight into the ferocious wave of divine power.

Even with the Ten-Armed Giant's defensive power, it had to turtle up and hold up a wall of elemental earth to protect its own body. The flame splitter, on the other hand, made a flaming leap and hid a thousand meters away, temporarily disengaging from the battlefield.

Hall apparently didn't dare to take the slightest interest in these two secondary enemies, and after he used his means to force them out of the way, his original body made a few leaps and rushed in front of Grim.

The archaic and bizarrely shaped Class 6 divine Bow in his left hand was raised high and was used by Hall as a melee weapon to viciously smack Grim's head. And with a swipe of his right hand at his waist, a half-meter long strange dagger stabbed into Grim's chest from another unusually tricky angle.

Hall was the famous God of Hunting, and in addition to a steady and accurate archery skill, his melee combat skills were also divine.

Grim was a typical spellcaster, and although his physique and strength weren't weak, he was never able to match up to these 'orthodox' warriors. Thus, once he was approached by Hall, he didn't hesitate to blend into the bit void, using the faint and sparse rule system of the Starsea World to swiftly escape to the periphery.

"Hmph, even such a crude rule method dares to be used... "Hall's own ugly and hideous face revealed an exceptionally fierce smile as he shouted, "In my name, rules manifest! "

With his violent drink, the originally traceless and invisible power of rules suddenly emerged from the void, and also violently leaked out the strange point of light that was attached to the rule system and was moving around in between it.

Grim, who had already suffered a heavy loss last time, had already raised his vigilance, and as soon as he realized something was wrong, he swiftly detached from the rule system. Only then was it not caught up in the sweeping rule shock.

And the distance that Grim escaped from this in and out was less than a hundred meters.

"Bastard, these high-ranking enemies seem to be proficient in rule methods... Is this method that was so hard to parse out going to waste?" Grim complained angrily as he regrouped his body and opened his mouth to spew a colorless, transparent, strange flame at Hall, who was coming at him again.

The transparent flame burned on top of the divine shield, rapidly draining the divine power on it. It took almost only three flexes of his fingers to make this divine shield become thinner and more fragile.

However, these three seconds were already enough time for Hall to launch a dozen or so swift attacks against it.

Under Hall's incessant and detailed attacks, Grim Flame's body was snapped apart and exploded into a scattered plume of fire.

"No, it's not that wizard's original body!" With his powerful mind trait, Hall quickly sensed something was wrong with his target. He looked back with a start, just in time to see Grim a thousand meters away, pinned in the position where the original flame splitter had been.

Shifting shape....

Hall couldn't help but curse under his breath as well.

It had to be said that it wasn't that easy to deal with a human sorcerer who could become a 5th rank. Every human sorcerer had their own proficient domain, and within that domain, they had skills and means that were unimaginable to outsiders.

Even with Hall's power, it wasn't that easy to take care of a 5th Order Grand Sorcerer single-handedly!

But as the God of Hunting, that wasn't all Hall's might was.

Hall once again shouted violently, and the divine bow in his hand was immediately drawn in a full circle, and a golden glowing arrow of divine power instantly emerged from nothing on the bowstring.

And at the same time, a strange divine rune appeared silently above Grim's head, who was thousands of meters away, and locked firmly in place.

"Damn, it's the Hunting Seal!" Grim had already suffered this loss the last time he fought Hall's billet.

Locked by the Hunting Seal, any arrow that Hall shot came with a tracking function, and no matter where Grim was, he couldn't escape the arrow's pursuit.

And his only means of self-preservation was to knock out the tracking arrow!

But with the swiftness of tracking arrows and the slowness of flame sorcery, it wasn't easy to do that.

But there was still the ten-armed giant in the field.

Under the command of Grim's spiritual consciousness, the Ten-Armed Giant was treading on the emptiness and slowly pressing towards Hall while blocking the attack route of the tracking arrows with dense stone spear throws.

In the emptiness of the battlefield, only an extremely dazzling golden dot of light could be seen swiftly wandering around the periphery, seemingly looking for a loophole in the Ten-Armed Giant's defense. The dense stone spears burst in the air, but it was difficult to track down the agile point of light that was as agile as a swimming fish.

With Hall's methods, how could this tracking arrow be so easy to break!

Hall stood still, the bow in his hand vibrating wildly without stopping, firing eighteen trailing arrows in one breath before stopping.

In an instant, 18 whistling and indeterminate points of light appeared in the void, stabbing at Grim's body from all directions like a strange swarm of bees guided by consciousness.

Hiss....

Faced with such ferocious attacks, Grim couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.

These could be tracking arrows, even if he jumped or teleported out, the other party would follow the trail and never die!

Grim only then had a hint of regret, he should have resolved a powerful ranged flame sorcery earlier, or else he wouldn't be in a dilemma like he was now.

Looks like we'll have to use it!

Grim couldn't dodge, so he could only curl up and grit his teeth to resist this wave of attacks.

Eighteen tracer arrows whistled, bypassing the network of fire power built by the ten-armed giant and shooting straight at all parts of Grim's body.

In the next moment, the place where Grim was standing was immediately engulfed by the bursting arrows of divine power....
