  Seventy-ninth Floor of Blackstone Spire, Peranos's Room Hall.

  Peranos, Valo, Black Cat, Grimm, and a female sorceress sat around a long table. Before each of them lay a massive platter, its contents being the prized ingredient known as the Piaozi Fish—the very creature raised in the laboratory aquarium.

  "Grimm, this is your master's wife, Alice—Blackstone Spire's renowned gourmet. This Piaozi fish is a premium ingredient she began meticulously raising twenty-five years ago. Today, it serves as her welcome gift to you." Peranos offered an awkward smile, though the grotesque scar stitched across his face made the gesture appear sinister and terrifying.

  Witch Alice smiled at Grimm, her expression radiating an indescribable charm, though she seldom spoke.

  This matronly witch bore wavy golden hair, blue-amber eyes, and skin as creamy and fair as milk. Petite in stature, she was a true beauty. The only thing setting her apart from ordinary humans was the mouth that grew on the

    Outside Lafey's cottage stood Yoric, Yorkiana, Binson, and Robin, along with several other apprentices Grimm had seen but didn't know well—presumably Crimson Banner members on good terms with Lafey.Grimm "floated" down from the sky, landing. "What happened to Lafey?""Grimm, you should go in and see for yourself. We've never seen Sister Lafey take such a loss and remain so calm. She kicked us all out." Yoric's expression was grim and helpless."Right." Grimm nodded and entered the room, leaving the others outside.Yoric sighed. "Grimm's here now. Let's disperse..."As the crowd slowly left, leaving only Yoric, Yorkiana, Binson, and Robin, Robin suddenly spoke up hesitantly. "Did you notice... Grimm didn't use any spell to fly here just now?"Huh? Now that he mentioned it, the others realized it was true. Grimm had indeed arrived without any apparent spellcasting.Binson's jaw dropped. "Has Grimm advanced to a full Sorcerer? Only full Sorcerers can sense natural forces and float with

  • Chapter 120 : The Dual Forces

    Sunlight streamed through the laboratory window, illuminating the workbench. The air was fragrant with the aroma of Bitterleaf Wine, a scent both mellow and slightly astringent that lingered pleasantly."This Repulsion-Attraction Force spell," Peranos explained, "as a Sorcerer's Apprentice without the ability to guide natural forces, you can only use your own body as the central point for repulsion and attraction to form effective attacks and defenses. But once you become a full Sorcerer, you can use this Geocentric Stone to connect with the earth's ley lines, allowing you to freely wield these forces."He paused, seeming thirsty, and took a sip of the Bitterleaf Wine, smacking his lips as he savored the bitterness.After jotting down some notes, Grimm frowned. "And implanting this Geocentric Stone will truly cause irreversible skin fissures?"This was the third time he'd asked the same question. The so-called permanent skin damage was exactly what had happened to Peranos—his entire s

  • Chapter 119 : The Purple Key

    On the seventy-ninth floor of Blackstone Spire, in Peranos's laboratory, the mentor stared dumbfounded at the three heads before him. Sensing the unique negative energy characteristic of Dark Sorcerers, his eyes, set in a face like a stitched-up leather ball, nearly popped out of their sockets. He examined the negative energy within the heads over and over, seemingly unable to believe the evidence before him.After a long while, Peranos finally became aware of his undignified display in front of his disciple. He stiffened his expression, trying to appear as if he'd seen such things countless times. But seeing Grimm's poorly suppressed amusement, he knew his earlier reaction hadn't gone unnoticed. With a displeased snort, he grumbled, "Well? Explain. Since when have Dark Sorcerers become so common, appearing in groups on the Sorcerer Continent, only to be eliminated by a single apprentice?""Yes, Mentor."Grimm then recounted his entire journey—his training, observations, deductions, a

  • Chapter 118 : The Overseer's Gaze

    On his return to the academy, Grimm maintained his walking training, but his pace was significantly faster now, driven by clear purpose.With the Pale Mask firmly in place, he moved with swift, sure strides. Slung over his shoulder, alongside the knight's greatsword, was a bag containing the heads of the three "Dark Sorcerers." He wondered what reward Mentor Peranos would grant for eliminating three such targets. The thought brought a flicker of anticipation and private amusement.But he would leave that for Peranos to worry about. The reward was secondary; the true value lay in the mission's experience and the knowledge gained.Twenty days later, in Bramblethorn Forest, Grimm sat atop the peak of a giant tree. Clouds obscured the moon and stars. By the light of his Indestructible Flame, he took out the "Devil's Contract," using his soul to carefully feel out the text upon it."Such fascinating script. It can be understood through the soul itself. This writing seems to be a natural im

  • Chapter 117 : A Pact of Deceit

    Thump!The young girl fell to her knees, and instantly, Brutal Bear and the others followed suit. Grimm, disguised as Viper, did the same."Great Demon God, I offer these one hundred souls in exchange for your divine power to conceal this energy aura upon me, allowing your most faithful servant to gather more souls for you."The girl's voice was halting but filled with sincere reverence, as if she were willing to dedicate her entire being to the magnificent presence before her.She placed several black stones before the mirror. The surface of the mirror rippled slowly, like flowing quicksilver. After more than ten minutes, the "quicksilver" had completely enveloped the stones, and they vanished."An acceptable offering. Your wish shall be granted!"The Demon God's voice held a note of pleasure. A stream of pure, wondrous energy slowly emerged, thread by thread, flowing into the girl's body.An expression of extreme excitement and blissful intoxication spread across her face. She let o

  • Chapter 116 : The Soul Trade

    Bangel City, situated at the border between the Blackstone Spire Sorcerer Academy and the Ivory Castle Sorcerer Academy in the Twelfth District of the Seven Rings Sacred Tower, was a major metropolitan hub. A constant flow of merchants, knights, and adventurers gave it an atmosphere of compatibility, inclusivity, and exploration. This open city's status and importance rivaled that of any famous seaport.On the Sorcerer Continent, two types of places often bred Dark Sorcerers: remote, uninhabited regions, and borderlands like this, where two major powers met. These junctions were melting pots, their nobles often descendants of Sorcerers from conflicting factions with historical grievances—a perfect environment for certain Dark Sorcerers to flourish.Grimm sat in a tavern near the city gate, statue-like, watching the endless stream of people coming and going, occasionally sipping fine wine. This was no lowly mercenary knight dive; Grimm occupied a refined private room, attracting no att
