Grimm stood respectfully beside Peranos, awaiting his mentor's assignment.

Peranos nodded, his aged finger pointing toward the crystal ball before him. As the orb flickered, a luminous screen materialized in front of Grimm.

"This 'Hunt the Dark Sorcerer' mission," Peranos stated flatly, "I've carefully assessed it. The so-called Dark Sorcerer is likely nothing more than a Sorcerer's Apprentice. Even if he is a full Sorcerer, he's a weak one, making it suitable for apprentices like you. If the target is an apprentice, kill him. If he's a full Sorcerer, flee."

Grimm's eyebrows rose. "You said 'you all'? Are there others on this mission?"

After ensuring Grimm had memorized the route and clues, Peranos dismissed the screen. "At Blackstone Spire, I've assigned this internal mission to four apprentices, all potential candidates for the Demon Hunter qualification. For now, you are the weakest among them. Additionally, the Ivory Castle Sorcerer Academy, located near the mission zone, is also

  • Chapter 125 The Fallen Sanctuary

    Throughout the journey, Grimm moved like Lafey's shadow, a silent and constant presence behind her. His quiet demeanor wasn't an act for his companions' benefit—among this trusted group, such pretense was unnecessary. Rather, he was multitasking: enduring the lingering weakness from his latest toxin tempering, maintaining their pace, and simultaneously studying fundamental texts on water and lightning elements. He had no mental energy to spare for conversation.Trailing Lafey did make him exceptionally inconspicuous, he mused internally.Binson, however, remained undeterred by Grimm's silence. While the others seemed to accept his quiet focus, Binson chattered incessantly at him, leaping from one trivial topic to another, even speculating about the future marriages of his and Robin's hypothetical children. It was... exhaustive. Grimm found himself thinking that Binson would have gotten along famously with Brutal Bear, Axe, and Hammer from his previous mission—a veritable league of cha

  • Chapter 124 ：The Malicious Eye Bloom

    The central square teemed with nearly ten thousand Sorcerer's Apprentices, a sea of anxious faces. Upon the raised platform, over three hundred full Sorcerers stood, their collective presence casting a palpable weight over the gathering."Today," a Sorcerer with a thunderous voice roared, his tone viciously excited, "in response to the unwarranted aggression from the nine academies of the Nineteenth District, the six academies of the Twelfth District have jointly decided to accept their declaration! We go to war! Let those incompetent, coddled apprentices of the Nineteenth District learn the might of the Twelfth!"The apprentices who were listening were no longer the foolish, hotheaded novices they had been years ago. Although the exact reasons for the conflict remained unclear, they knew it was more complex than mere provocations. However, none were foolish enough to voice any doubt aloud.After a series of fiery speeches from seven or eight Sorcerers, the three Deans of Blackstone S

  • Chapter 123 : The Forging Crucible

    The war drums of the Twelfth District had begun to beat, and every apprentice within Blackstone Spire felt the shift in the air. It was a palpable tension, a thickening of the atmosphere that spoke of imminent conflict and the brutal winnowing that would precede the Sacred Tower Qualification Battle.Grimm stood beside Lafey on a training ground that had seen a sudden surge in activity. All around them, apprentices honed their spells, tested new alchemical concoctions, and formed impromptu alliances. The usual solitary focus of sorcerous study had been replaced by a grim, collective preparation."They're calling it the 'Scythe'," Lafey stated, her voice calm despite the half of her face that remained a desiccated ruin. The tiny green sprouts at the border of the dead tissue continued their agonizingly slow work. "The Nineteenth District's bloated ranks are the wheat, and we are the blade that will cut them down to a manageable harvest."Grimm nodded, his gaze sweeping over the bustlin

  • Chapter 122 : The War Drum Sounds

    Grimm rushed back to Mentor Peranos's laboratory on the seventy-ninth floor of Blackstone Spire. In the room, he found Mentor's wife Alice, Valo, Gahai, and a strange woman completely wrapped in white bandages. Catching his breath, Grimm quietly bowed to Alice.Alice was a gourmet. Aside from the extra mouth on her palm, she appeared no different from an ordinary human woman. Though Grimm had rarely spoken with her, she had always been kind and exuded genuine warmth—a gentle, approachable woman."Grimm, your mentor has stepped out. This is your senior sister..." Alice said gently."You may call me Ysandre. Mentor told me about your creative solution to the physical damage caused by the Repulsion-Attraction Force. It shows remarkable ingenuity." The senior sister's voice was icy, faintly sinister, and sharp. Her eyes, visible between the white bandages, held a deathly gray indifference.Grimm's jaw dropped, staring dumbfounded at the strange woman he'd noticed upon entering. This was t

  • Chapter 121 : The Silent Guardian

    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
