  It must be said that as Grimm continued his killing spree, by the time he had slain the sixth wizard apprentice, the mark upon his forehead had begun to emit truly astonishing fluctuations.

  For the sixth apprentice slain by Grimm was a formidable opponent who had already claimed four lives himself. Thus, Grimm now carried the accumulated markings of ten apprentice wizards. Instantly, the markings on Grimm's body blazed like flames in the darkness of the trial grounds. Wherever he went, other apprentice wizards fled at the earliest opportunity.rendering further "hunting" utterly impossible for Grimm.

  Afterwards, aside from one exceptionally powerful apprentice who briefly tested Grimm before fleeing, he encountered no one else. Grimm had even begun to abandon this method of acquiring magic stones, resolving to wait locally for the secret realm to open.

  Yet, just as Grimm abandoned his hunt, four wizard apprentices—each radiating formidable mark fluctuatio

      "Before learning the poison-blending body-forging witchcraft, you must first understand that this art originates from the forging system of subterranean witches, not the elemental witchcraft of the Witch Continent, which is based on psychic energy." At this point, Peranos slowly drew a black crystal sphere from his sleeve. "This is the crystal sphere used by subterranean sorcerers. It can measure a sorcerer's physical attributes. It's yours."   Grimm opened his mouth, then slowly produced an identical black crystal sphere, awkwardly replying, "Mentor, I already have one..."   Already have one, have one, have one...   Peranos felt Grimm's words echo incessantly in his ears. Had he not long since mastered the control of his blood flow, Peranos would surely have blushed crimson with embarrassment.   "Ahem, you rascal. Hmph, if you already have one, that saves me from buying another crystal ball." With that, Per Anos continued, "First, tell me what you know about the classifications

  • Chapter 104 : The Wizard's Tower

      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

  • Chapter 103 : The Ruined Tower (Part 2)

      With a creak, the wooden door slammed shut.   Grimm felt a sudden chill run down his spine. He whipped his head around, but saw no one. The wooden door remained as rotten and dilapidated as ever, looking as though it might collapse completely at the slightest pressure. Grimm's expression grew tense, yet he kept repeating to himself: "None of this is real. None of this is real..."   Gradually, his breathing steadied.   "Huh? Can't use magic?" Grimm discovered with surprise that no matter how he tried, he couldn't summon the fire element to light his way. Blocking a wizard apprentice from casting spells required absolute control over natural energies. Grimm was certain that even a third-level Grand Wizard, though capable of suppressing the leverage of their magic array to the limit, could never prevent him from casting spells.   Huff...   "Since I can't cast spells... then I won't use them. This dilapidated water tower may be famous, but I've never heard of anyone dying here." W

  • Chapter 102 : The Ruined Tower (Part One)

      The next day, Grimm purchased a large quantity of wands from the Fat Man. He even made a special trip to the third floor of Blackstone Spire, to the hut of the wizard Xinluwu, where he acquired several elemental wands of different attributes that the Fat Man did not carry.   Back in the laboratory, Grimm had laid out ten wands before him—fire, water, ice, wood, wind, lightning, earth, light, dark, and life—the most common elemental wands for wizard apprentices. A shared characteristic among these wands was that the sealed magical energy levels all fell between 20 and 30 degrees.   This meant that, aside from the Masque of the Formless being immune to energy attacks below 20 degrees, Grimm did not channel any magic power into the Masque. Consequently, any excess energy from the wands' attacks would be absorbed entirely by Grimm.   However, even attacks below ten degrees could easily kill Grimm, whose Constitution was only four. Therefore, Grimm had to keep a Life Tree Leaf in his

  • Chapter 101: Passive Evolution

      After Queen Lafey's outburst, the matter of Grimm attending the Crimson Banner gathering was essentially settled.   Rather than waste time on other matters, Grimm preferred to immerse himself in the study of more profound witchcraft knowledge. Thus, as soon as the Crimson Banner gathering concluded, Grimm bid Lafey a brief farewell and headed straight for Blackstone Spire. With several days remaining before Mentor Peranos formally began teaching him witchcraft, Grimm needed to conduct some experiments during this interim.   Just as he was about to depart alone, Yoric called out to Grimm, accompanied by a young sorceress apprentice.   "Hmm?"   When Grimm recognized Ilaritwen beside Yoric, he instantly understood their purpose, a faint smile flickering beneath his pale mask. During the trials, while "competing" for the first secret realm reward, Grimm had indeed inadvertently saved this apprentice witch once. Presumably, that was why she had come.   Ilaritwen wasn't particularly

  • Chapter 100: Reorganization

      Having reclaimed everything that belonged to him, Grimm lay lazily on his bed in the small cabin, breathing in that familiar scent. For a moment, life felt so incredibly beautiful.   Phew...   Truth be told, the memories of that interrogation room were nothing short of nightmarish for Grimm. Fortunately, he had emerged unscathed and ultimately gained the recognition of the great wizard Peranos, becoming his third disciple.   A Level 3 wizard—this was the highest rank achievable in any wizard academy. There was no wizard above a Level 3.   Grimm's excitement was beyond words, his future bright and promising.   Moments later, Grimm began organizing the magical materials and items he had gathered during his trials, meticulously recording important insights and clues in his notebook.   For instance, his insights into fire elemental energy applications gained through the Sun's Child's magical fluctuations and the wind elemental bats summoned by the Bloodbat's Kiss; how to embed the
