2025-10-08 15:00:03When Soranm, Yunli, Bibilyanna, and Grimm returned to the secret realm, the other three Despairers had long since grown restless from waiting. Two of them even flew over, fixing their gaze directly upon Grimm.
Grimm found it rather peculiar. Why hadn't these individuals entered the secret realm themselves?
"Well, well, this must be the Pale Mask Victor spoke of. To withstand Mina's Blazing Inferno Realm head-on... truly astonishing..."
A cloyingly sweet voice drifted over. Grimm looked up to see a woman in a long, red-and-green-patterned gown, its fabric embroidered with countless scarlet scorpions. One astonishingly slender, pale leg was exposed.
More captivating still was the mysterious golden glint glimpsed between her high, full, snow-white peaks—a sight inviting endless imagination. Yet she wore an expression of sanctimonious, untouchable purity, while those soul-stealing eyes seemed to convey some subtle, suggestive message.

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
Chapter 115: Shadows of Deceit
"So, you've been invited by that one as well," the Dark Sorcerer finally spat out after a long pause.Grimm's mind raced as he analyzed the hidden meaning behind those words. Was their destination, Bangel City, some kind of gathering place for Dark Sorcerers? That seemed... excessive. If true, he couldn't help but mentally scoff at Mentor Peranos's assessment that the target was merely an apprentice or an extremely weak Dark Sorcerer.The girl in the carriage, seeing the Dark Sorcerer recognize her token, let out a relieved sigh. A smug smile touched her lips. "In that case, order your underlings to step aside."The Dark Sorcerer hesitated, his gaze finally settling on Grimm. A cold sneer twisted his youthful features. "Letting you go is fine. I'll even spare these knights. After all, you'll need them for certain tasks once you join us. However..." His eyes, filled with unconcealed greed, locked onto Grimm. "...I'm claiming this one. A powerful servant like this would make my life muc
Chapter 114 : A Shadow in the Caravan
"Miss, get inside!" The short, fat man—Marlin—startled, yanking the carriage curtain shut. He then turned a stern gaze on Grimm and the others. "You lot…""Sir, we saw nothing, you have our word," one of the veteran mercenary knights cut in smoothly.After Marlin scrutinized them and they all played dumb sufficiently, he gave a dissatisfied grunt and drove the caravan out of the city."What's there to be afraid of? Once we reach Bangel City, I'll be a proper Sorcerer's Apprentice…" the young girl's discontented mumble drifted faintly from the carriage. Grimm paused. Was a full Sorcerer planning to take her as a disciple there?That night, the five mercenary knights sat around a campfire, drinking and eating rations. Marlin and the girl had their own fire by the carriage, eating prepared delicacies.After half a day together, and facing over twenty more days on the road, the burly knights had grown familiar, boasting and joking loudly.The most muscular of them, nicknamed Brutal Bear,
Chapter 113 : The Knight's Facade
"Ah...!" Harired's agonized screams in the flames were like the weeping of a demonic abyss. No matter how he wailed, he couldn't stop the spread of Grimm's Indestructible Flame. In an instant, Harired became a human torch, instinctively rolling on the ground, his form as grotesque as a toad wallowing in mud."The Ivory Hunters won't let you get away with this! Guild Leader Gareth the Thunder Axe will avenge me!" Harired's pain-filled, hateful eyes stared fixedly at Grimm from within the flames.Grimm, beneath his Pale Mask, remained unmoved. "How tedious," he said flatly. With a raise of his hand, another fireball flew forth.BOOM! After the violent explosion, the world fell silent. Harired was completely swallowed by the raging flames and burned to ashes in moments. Grimm sneered, glanced at the sun to roughly determine his direction, and strode away.Seven days later. The more than ten days of trekking through Bramblethorn Forest had greatly benefited Grimm. Especially during the
Chapter 112 : Relentless Pursuit
Three days later, in Bramblethorn Forest.BOOM!A wave of intensely scorching flames dispersed a green corrosive energy attack. Following an enraged howl of pain, a shimmering silken thread flashed into existence dozens of meters away, then fled in disarray."It's useless! You can't escape!" Grimm roared from within the inferno. "Your unique scent is like a beacon in the night—you'll never succeed in ambushing me. You have no chance! And I will hunt you to your death!"His voice dripped with venom.Simultaneously, Grimm casually picked up a severed finger from the ground and pressed it against the wound on his palm. As numerous tiny tendrils emerged from the injury to reconnect the digit, he sneered moments later, flexing the restored finger—now perfectly healed. With that, he gripped his Echo Bone Dagger and resumed the chase.Over these three days, Grimm and Harired had clashed multiple times. Each encounter ended with Harired, unable to match Grimm, using a bizarre wind-element spe
