Chapter 145 : The Face of Truth Project
On the seventy-ninth floor of Blackstone Spire, Peranos’ laboratory exuded a chill that shimmered in the frost-laden air. Grimm stood before the central workbench, where two exceptional specimens were displayed: a preserved Foam Frog and a phosphorescent Serpent, both meticulously maintained in an icy containment field powered by advanced magical stones. The surrounding mist wavered, ethereal and cold, like frozen breath.Next to the specimens lay a massive scroll, its center dominated by a pair of human eyes rendered with exquisite precision. Nerve pathways, life-sign reactions, and intricate structures were labeled in staggering detail—elemental storage points, neural electrolytic paths, crystalline lenses, pupils, retinas, and light refraction patterns. Flanking the human ocular diagram were detailed schematics of the Foam Frog’s eyes on one side, and the phosphorescent Serpent’s on the other.The Foam Frog’s pupils were horizontal slits,
Chapter 144 : Foresight and Alchemical Wisdom
Grimm’s small cabin glowed with the soft radiance of suspended magical lamps, forming a shadowless sanctuary around the central workbench. On the bench, three vials contained dark green elixirs, their surfaces swirling faintly with latent arcane energy. Grimm uncorked each one, inhaling cautiously. A trace of disappointment flickered across his face as he muttered, “Even at this concentration, they barely qualify as weak sorcerous poisons. At most, one could perform a single mixed-toxin refinement before the body becomes fully immune to this toxicity.”A sigh escaped him. He glanced at the severed branches and the mottled insects, green and crimson, that lay beside the vials. With a shake of his head, he swept them all into the bin designated for waste.“Well, 108 Constitution. Even a single mixed-toxin refinement counts as a gain,” he reasoned. Grimm carefully gathered the dark green elixirs into a small collection for future use. For a sor
Chapter 143 : Parasitic Origins
Grimm’s vision went black for a heartbeat, and the next moment, he found himself in an unfamiliar place.Warm, gentle magic lights floated around, bathing the space in a soothing glow. The air was alive with a subtle, ordered flow of elemental energy, and beneath his feet lay pristine stone slabs. Each slab was etched with countless runes, forming an intricate design: a great circle enclosing a six-pointed star, the centerpiece of a vast magic array. Grimm stood squarely at its center.“This is…”A familiar voice spoke from behind. Grimm turned and saw the immense platform of the magic array, over thirty meters across, with Peranos standing below, observing him.“You’ve endured more than two sandglass cycles. Not bad. Did you gain anything inside?” Peranos asked with measured curiosity.Grimm bowed quickly. “Master, where is this?”“Blackstone Spire, ninety-n
Chapter 142 : Blackstone Spire: The Hidden Laboratory (Part 3)
Grimm hefted the Hydra Greatsword, a low growl escaping his throat as he swung it with all his strength toward the corroded mass of crystal and metal before him.A resonant hum filled the air. The sword’s vibration echoed in his ears, yet the jagged combination of crystal and metal remained unscathed, impervious to his attack. Grimm’s eyes narrowed, a mix of frustration and intrigue stirring within him. Whatever ancient alchemical technique had forged this structure, it had defied decay to the point of mockery.Still, Grimm’s heart surged with excitement. The faint reverberation hinted at something beneath—an empty space, and judging by the echoes, a vast one at that.He circled the towering protrusion, searching for weaknesses, and soon a jagged tear in a corner caught his eye. Channeling his magic, Grimm cast a cleansing water sphere over the fissure, washing away centuries of dust and revealing a narrow opening. Time
Chapter 141 : Blackstone Spire: Secrets of the Twisted Grove (Part 2)
The Twisted Forest sprawled endlessly, a thicket of low, gnarled trees speckled with black-and-red patches. At first glance, it appeared to be a floral phenomenon, but a closer inspection revealed a startling truth: the so-called flower patches were composed entirely of tiny insects. Each patch was alive, a writhing mass of countless minuscule creatures, creating an eerie and unsettling spectacle that made even seasoned sorcerers pause.Grimm carefully retrieved a small vial from his belt and began collecting samples of the “spotted insects.” Each was no larger than a tenth of a pinky nail, their tiny bodies dominated by a gaping mouth and a black stinger. Legs had been almost entirely reduced, leaving only a suction-like appendage that allowed them to cling to surfaces.“Never seen these before,” Grimm muttered, eyes gleaming with curiosity. “Their venom might be adaptable… could become a potent ingredient for mixed-toxic body enhancement l
Chapter 140 : Blackstone Spire: Fractured Realms (Part 1)
The sprawling plaza of Blackstone Spire’s Sorcerer Academy thrummed with anticipation as apprentices gathered beneath the watchful gaze of Headmaster Peranos. From the tower above, the venerable sorcerer orchestrated the proceedings personally. All apprentices who had collected at least one hundred emblematic badges now stepped onto the colossal scale that dominated the square.On one side of the scale, roughly ninety apprentices stood shoulder to shoulder. Among them was Soranm, ranked ninth among the academy’s top ten prodigies. The rising generation was represented by Amlock, Beyl, and Yunli, though Bibilyanna was conspicuously absent. Lafey, also injured, had yet to understand the reason for the delay in badge collection.The elder generation of top ten apprentices, save for the three who had fallen in previous conflicts, also assembled on the scale, eager to gain advantage in the Blackstone Spire Secret Realm. Among them were Aldas, the
