2025-10-06 15:01:32The Ghost Thief's form materialised once more, emerging from a tree trunk over ten metres to Grimm's right, appearing and vanishing with ghostly agility.
Grimm remained unmoved. A blazing fireball transformed into a fiery bird, darting nimbly towards the Ghost Thief. Moments later, a thunderous boom echoed as waves of flame scattered.
"Right then, I'm done playing with you. Best leave it to those chaps to decide."
The Ghost Thief's figure materialised again, this time on a steep cliff slope some forty metres in front of Grimm. With a look of resignation, he suddenly bellowed towards the distant sky: "The Pale Mask has appeared here..."
The Ghost Thief's voice, emitted at a specific frequency, carried clearly to the other Despairers at least a thousand metres away.
Grimm's expression darkened. He had no idea what this Ghost Thief was up to, but an instinctive sense of danger made him summon his wind elemental bats without a second though

Chapter 111 : The Dark Sorcerer Hunt
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 110 ： The Trinity Enigma
Ever since recalling the Maggot-Snail that had been steeping in the Blood of the Sun's Scion back into his body, Grimm had been nurturing it with all his focus. A strange, indescribable sensation—a fusion of ecstasy and agony—had been growing within him.The ecstasy was undeniable. Grimm was astounded to find his affinity for fire element manipulation increasing at an absurd rate. He could even faintly sense the untamed fire energy drifting through the natural world—a capability that belonged solely to full-fledged Sorcerers!A crystal ball hovered in the air. Grimm casually cast a Firebird spell, amplified by a nine-fold leverage multiplier.BOOM!A wave of blistering heat washed past. Grimm beckoned the crystal ball back. As he sensed the recorded attack potency, he couldn't suppress a gasp of shock. "It actually reached 118 degrees of energy!"His current spiritual force was at 29 points, with a mana pool ranging from 280 to 301. His maximum single-attack mana expenditure was betw
Chapter 109: Alteration Technique
Two humanoid creatures of the same species were placed on the laboratory table by Grimm. After setting up some simple protective barriers to guard against potential unknown dangers, Grimm, his expression grave, took out his notebook and began flipping through its pages. Moments later, Grimm sat silently before the table, his eyes blank as he sank into deep thought. "The last experiment with frogs and mice revealed the terrifying consequences the leech-snail inflicted upon living beings. Based on my previous hypothesis, that mysterious, irregular double-helix light sphere within the host cells—where the leech-snail's soul senses and interferes—must be the true form of the life code. This is the primordial life information at the core of every cell in a living being's microscopic world. Every life cell's information actually possesses its own will to survive. When these wills combine, they form the soul's will of life." After a pause, Grimm shook his head slightly and added,
Chapter 108: Ancient Memories
Lafey returned a month later, accompanied by Yoric, Yorkiana, Binson, and Robin. Grimm and Lafey's cozy cottage, filled with affection. Probing other wizards' secrets was the most taboo of acts, yet as a lover, Grimm couldn't help but voice concern upon seeing the bandage on Lafey's back, radiating life energy: "Now that you have a mentor, why not diligently study wizardry instead of seeking adventure?" Lafey snorted. "Do you think every wizard is like you—possessing both wisdom, magic stones, and a great mentor? My esteemed mentor has twenty-two disciples. How much attention do you think she'll spare for me? Still, it's fortunate. Though the ancient site Father mentioned was risky, it yielded significant rewards." Seeing Lafey's face aglow with excitement as he fiddled with a golden key, Grimm could say little more. He gently pulled Lafey into his embrace. ... When Mentor Peranos returned from the Seventh Ring Holy Tower, three dazed humanoid creatures appeared be
Chapter 107: Systemic
Elemental Wizards represent the most powerful system within the wizarding world—a fact universally acknowledged by all wizards. This does not imply Elemental Wizards possess overwhelming power, but rather that they wield the most comprehensive and systematically structured energy manipulation framework. Each tier of Elemental Wizardry gives rise to corresponding levels of technique and ability. Wizards from other schools, and even those from other worlds, can only be said to possess combat strength comparable to a certain tier of Elemental Wizard or the ability to manipulate energy equivalent to a certain tier. They themselves lack a standardized classification of energy manipulation tiers. For instance, the starlike creature Grimm encountered in the Dark Well of Zellato Harbor once claimed to be a Fourth-Tier Star Spirit from the Star Realm, yet its controllable energy ranged between that of a Second-Tier and Third-Tier Wizard. This so-called "between" arises because their
Chapter 106: Double Evolution
One week later. Grimm's body was gaunt, weak, and powerless. Even while merely sitting at the lab bench reading, a sheen of cold sweat broke out on his pallid face. His eyes were abnormally bloodshot, and his breathing was labored and weak. Peranos remained indifferent, remarking casually, "It seems oral administration does work faster than respiratory infection. When I infected my lymph nodes under my mentor's guidance, it took three weeks before I developed symptoms like yours." He shook the green vial in his hand. After observing a faint spark of life emerge from the liquid, he handed it to Grimm. Grimm took the vial and swallowed it in one gulp. Instantly, a surge of life energy began to permeate his entire body, somewhat alleviating the overwhelming weakness. Pulling out his crystal ball, Grimm scanned his stats and let out a wry smile. His stamina had already dropped to 2? Peranos shook his head, placing the empty test tube aside. As he scanned the vast text wit
