Age of Adepts

Wizarding World, middle of the continent.

The Crimson Wing.

On the 63rd floor of the Crimson Family's original Witch Tower, Mary brought Meryl and a few other Crimson executives to receive this emissary from extra-domain space.

It was a world-rare Dragon Wraith!

And its rank was even as high as the peak of the 4th rank, which could be considered the top force even within the Wizard World.

Other rank 4 powerhouses might not be that terrifying if they were alone. But for a rank 4 Wraith, its existence would mean an army of powerful and ferocious undead, and it would be able to take such a powerful force into its own hands.

No other strong person could do an army of one, but a witch demon could!

What's more, the one in front of him wasn't just any witch demon, but a noble among witch demons, the Dragon Witch Demon. Therefore, even if the other party was not flying the banner of the patriarch, this identity alone was enough to make the Crimson Family pay the utmost attention to it.

And the moment it saw Mary, this mysterious visiting Dragon Witch Demon hurried forward and bowed.

"See Lord Matriarch!"

Mother of the house?

The few Crimson executives present looked at each other, then came to a sudden realization.

It seemed that this was one of Lord Grim's men recruited from outside the domain!

"You..." said Mary, stunned, "You're one of Grim's men?"

"Yes, Lord Mother!" Dragon Witch Demon Trueman smiled obsequiously, "My name is Trueman, I've just joined the lord, and I'm here on the lord's orders to do the Lord Mother's bidding!"

"Oh, where's that Grim guy now? He hasn't contacted us for a long time..." the first sentence of Mary's question was still tense, but the second sentence had taken on an endless grudge.

The dragon witch Trueman swept a glance at Meryl, Emelia and the worm witch Billis, and hesitated in his words.

"Go ahead and speak boldly, they are all people you can trust!" Mary resolved.

"Well...your lordship is now settled in the Fire Elemental Plane and is in semi-retreat!"

"Well? He hasn't been away from the Wizard World for very long, so it should be the right time for him to venture around, so why did he think of running off to the Fire Elemental Plane to seclude himself?"

"My lord has just retired from the front lines of the bitter war after participating in a beast slaying campaign organized by an 8th rank Grand Sorcerer. Due to the rich harvest, it was enough for him to develop to 6th rank in one go, so that's why he chose a place to live in seclusion and slowly increase his power..."

"He's developing so fast! Could it be... he's already preparing for the 6th step?"

"Yes, my lord has personally said that there are no more hurdles in his path to the 6th rank, the only thing lacking is the improvement of mental strength and the accumulation of resources. These can't be taken by coincidence, they can only be honed a little bit!"

Sheesh...this guy is progressing faster and faster! Is it possible that even I can't keep up with him?

Mary silently pondered, full of depression and struggle.

On the other hand, the three people who were listening on the side were even more filled with shock, staring at each other with wide eyes, really not knowing what expression to make or how to react.

This pace of advancement of the family lord is a bit too fast, isn't it! It's so fast that you can't even think about catching up! And...where exactly is the limit of his development? It's better not to just run all the way to the end and become one of the many great existences, right?

Although there was a certain desire to exalt one of their own, in the hearts of the three of them, they had already decided that their lord, the head of the family, would definitely be a great existence in the future.

However, with their qualifications and abilities, they were only able to accompany the lord of the house for a short period of time of several hundred years. And by the time His Lordship's fame would have spread throughout the Multiverse, they would have been long gone.

If they didn't strive to move forward, they wouldn't even be qualified to shout from afar, let alone accompany him!

How did the Dragon Witch Demon know that its simple words had created a huge ripple in the hearts of several people.

For a moment, the crowd was a little distracted!

"My lord has sent me here this time, and also asked me to bring you something that will hopefully help you get past the 5th stage threshold as soon as possible..." the Dragon Witch Demon did not understand the complicated and mysterious psychology of the few people in front of him, and continued straightforwardly.

"Oh, what are they? Take it out and see!" Mary didn't mind too much though.

After all, those divinity and divine power crystals had already caused a big storm in the middle of the continent last time. To this day, she was still a bit overwhelmed by having to constantly dispatch those bastards who were always vainly trying to trade away parts of their divinity.

Dragon Witch Truman sighed, and with a lift of his hand, he released a series of treasures from his storage ring, and the entire Witchcraft Hall was instantly illuminated with various dazzling colors that made it impossible to open one's eyes.

A mysterious crystalline crystal that shone with multicolored light throughout its body was suspended in midair, rotating slowly....

For some reason, Meryl and the others couldn't take their eyes off it once it landed on it.

A few people's throats moved lightly, their eyes obsessed, and they couldn't help but reach out their hands, eager to immediately save it into their hands and take it for themselves. But unfortunately, their hands were all blocked by an invisible force.

Immediately a cold and icy spiritual fluctuation came, causing them all to wake up one after another.

Mary sat high above, staring at the crystals with an agitated expression, her face complex and changing.

Finally, she stretched out her hand, and the shard of the divine Grid slowly floated to its palm and hovered there in a gentle spin....

"God...grid...shatter...piece!" The Worm Wizard Billis hood was slightly raised, and from the shadows beneath it, two scarlet phosphorescences emanated, pronouncing its name word for word in a dry, hoarse voice.

It was not surprising that Meryl, Emelia and Billis were so impulsive, but it was because the Divine Grid Fragment was too tempting to them.

In terms of natural aptitude alone, Emelia had the greatest potential for development among the three, but the probability of her future success in advancing to the 5th rank was only 20%.

In such a situation, a top-tier resource like the Divine Grid Fragment would undoubtedly be of the greatest help to them!

Being able to advance to Level 5 meant a long life of ten thousand years and an incomparable super status... Either of these two items would be extremely attractive to a sorcerer who was struggling and suffering at the threshold of Level 5.

Mary gently closed her right hand and held the Divine Grid Fragment in her palm, being able to clearly perceive the purest and purest rule-running atmosphere within the Divine Grid Fragment. It was a strange feeling that was constantly coupled with the bit plane system.

Gripping the fragment, Mary seemed to be able to perceive every pulsation of the world and everything in it, as well as the vast mysterious will that pervaded the world.

A thread of rule power connected this divine Grid Fragment to this world and also allowed Mary to initially perceive the existence of the rule system.

Mary held the divine Grid fragment tightly, her heart vibrating with ups and downs.

Outsiders might not know the true meaning of the Divine Grid Fragment that Grim had sent to her, but Mary fully understood.

Grim was giving Mary a new choice!

Mary is a bloodline witch, and the vampire species, while developing faster in the early stages, is a bit backward by the 4th stage. As far as Mary knew, there didn't seem to be many vampires in the entire multiverse that could cross the threshold to advance to 5th stage. Only the Abyssal Realm had heard of some super 5th order bloodsucking creatures and evil demons.

If this news was true, it could mean that the vampire witches' bloodline shackles were at the end of the 4th step. Any further step forward would inevitably be shackled by the shackles of their bloodline!

That's why, before it was too late, Grim had sent the shard of the Godhead.

If... the path of the Bloodline Witch was truly dead, then there was a new path before Mary to choose from, and that was the sealing of the gods....

In fact, in the course of a witch's growth, many high-ranking wizards who have lost their way, if they don't want to die a gloomy death, they will try to be crowned a god. They seek out a small secondary plane, spread their faith in it, spend hundreds of years cultivating followers, and then gather the faith power of a plane to advance to Witch God.

Only such witches would be considered 'crooked' and not tolerated by the witch mainstream, so they traveled in secrecy and rarely kept in touch with their former witch buddies anymore.

And Mary, as the bloodline source for all vampire witches, is naturally subject to their beliefs and admiration. If Mary really wanted to believe in sealing the gods, it would undoubtedly be much more convenient and smooth than for other witches.

After thinking about it for a long time, Mary put away the Divine Grid fragments at this point and turned to the other items.

Ten clusters of light that emitted a dazzling divine glow....

Divinity, surprisingly, is divine!

And it was ten in one shot.

As for the thousand divine crystals that followed, it was no longer much of a surprise.

Just when Mary thought that nothing else could shock her as much as the Divine Fragment, her gaze fell on the strange divine bow that shone with a seven-colored light.

Although she didn't know its name or its rank, Mary couldn't take her eyes off it once it landed on it.

6th rank divine bow, 5th rank divine boots, 5th rank powerful wrist guard....

Everything in front of her looked so precious, so unbearable to let go of, Mary took them into her hands and played with them carefully for a long time before putting them away one by one.

Only after the dazzling colors disappeared did Meryl and the other three breathed a sigh of relief, and were able to breathe normally again.

What was going on with their lord, so many top grade treasures related to deities had suddenly appeared. Could it be... could it be that their lord had robbed a true god?

I'm afraid that any of them would never have guessed, no matter how crazy they were, that their lord was even crazier than they had guessed, not robbing a True God, but swallowing one alive!

Mary naturally knew that the value of the few treasures in front of her could no longer be measured by the value system within the bit. Therefore, she carefully instructed Meryl and the others that they must not let the information about these treasures leak out, or else it would bring unpredictable risks to the family.

As for that Dragon Witch Demon Trueman, he officially joined the Crimson Family, immediately becoming the third core main force within the family, after Mary and Alice!

A peak 4th stage dragon witch demon was an appallingly powerful existence no matter where it was placed. As a result, the Crimson Family's power was augmented tenfold!
