Chapter 0099: The beginning of the war

The Dark Crypt is a place of controversy.

Although no one deliberately spread the news, by the early morning of the next day, almost the entire wizard tower was shocked by a terrible news that spread like a plague.

A wizard apprentice who had just been promoted to an intermediate level defeated Toril, the most promising wizard of the Wharton family in a short period of time, in a fair one-on-one battle. As soon as this news came out, it was sneered at by countless wizard apprentices.

In the wizard world, let alone a high-level rank, even if there is only one or two small levels of difference in the same rank, the difference in strength is so great that it is shocking. Some people who like to do good things have calculated that a quasi-witch can easily withstand the siege of 2-3 senior apprentices in a normal battle, and can also withstand the siege of two-digit intermediate apprentices.

So when most people heard this news for the first time, they just regarded it as a cheap lie by the enemies of the Wharton family to discredit them. But as this "rumor" intensified, even many guys who were familiar with the elite apprentices swore that all of this was true.

So, the entire Dark Crypt Wizard Tower apprentice circle was instantly detonated!

Countless junior, intermediate and senior apprentices told each other and inquired about the true version of the "rumor". Soon, the gossip gathered from all sides pointed the finger at a strange name, Grimm. So, more news about Grimm was dug out.

Like when this Grimm first came to the Dark Crypt, he was still a junior apprentice. Like when he first went deep into the underground world, he killed the terrible magic vine girl and harvested the first head of the fallen apprentice. Like when he was invited to join the training camp, he even defeated two senior elite apprentices...

This series of achievements was pieced together, and all the apprentices who heard it were surprised.

This... How is this possible?

For the strength of the apprentices who have just entered the ranks of intermediate apprentices, everyone is simply familiar with it. At this stage, their strength is the most embarrassing, usually only 2-3 offensive witchcraft. Some strong ones will master a defensive witchcraft in advance, while ordinary intermediate apprentices need to run for a long time to successfully master the first defensive witchcraft in their lives.

Compared with the advanced apprentices who have been tempered for thousands of years, or even the quasi-witches who are about to reach the peak of apprenticeship, such strength is simply the difference between a five or six-year-old child and a young man who is about to reach adulthood. Many times, such a strength gap can no longer be made up by skills and experience.

However, they soon found out that this incredible Grimm is very likely a puppeteer with outstanding talent, who can control many powerful witchcraft puppets across levels. As soon as this news came out, the few rare puppeteers in the apprentice circle immediately felt proud, and even talked and walked more energetically than before.

However, they had no idea that while they were talking about this magical puppeteer, Grimm, who was so excited by their talk, had already led Mary and Kirby deep into the dark cave, sneaking towards the ruins of the wizard tower along the route they explored last time.

To be honest, although Grimm had all kinds of calculations and plans in his heart for this treasure hunt, when his opponent was a wizard-level monster, it became uncertain whether these calculations and plans would work.

Riding on the magic crocodile hunter, the three of them gathered together and repeatedly checked their tasks. In order to pass the level of the demon flower spirit, Grimm was not only under great pressure, but even Mary and Kirby were assigned an extremely important task by him.

As the main force of the battle, Grimm's existence was to attract firepower and attention. Only by leading the terrifying flower spirit away from the entrance of the ruins, Mary and Kirby had the opportunity to sneak in and find the flower spirit's body.

Only by finding ways to cut off the spiritual connection between the flower spirit and the main body can Grimm have the possibility of defeating it head-on. Otherwise, even if Grimm sacrifices all his magic puppets, he will not be able to gain any advantage against a complete version of the flower spirit.

Perhaps the lesson last time was too painful, and all the jackals outside the ruins disappeared, which surprised Grimm who planned to eliminate the periphery first.

When the magic crocodile hunter came to the demonized jungle again, Mary and the green-skinned goblin Kirby were surprised. The same scene may not be uncommon on the surface, but nearly 20 miles below the surface, you can still see such a large lush jungle, which makes the two people who are already accustomed to the desolation and loneliness of the underground world not surprised!

"Go, remember your two tasks. Once the flower spirit leaves there, you must move quickly, I can't hold on for long!" Before parting, Grimm couldn't help but give a few more instructions.

Mary's pretty face showed a sweet smile, and her slender figure leaped up and instantly turned into a palm-sized red bat and flew into the jungle.

Grimm had nothing to worry about Mary. Whether it was the strength of the high-level vampire or her newly generated charm talent, it was the biggest guarantee for her survival. Especially the latter, in this chaotic demonic jungle, as long as she did not actively attack the enemy, ordinary demonic creatures and plants would not actively attack her.

This charm talent can actually transcend race, gender, camp and other factors, and directly act on the subconscious of intelligent creatures. It can be called the best talent for outdoor exploration and treasure hunting. It is said that many special class advancements require the foundation of charm talent.

At this moment, Kirby was covered in tattered leather armor, with an old cape that matched his body shape, and holding the short wooden stick that always accompanied him.

"Master, don't worry, I will definitely try my best to complete the task!" Kirby bowed respectfully, then jumped off the magic crocodile, stepped on his two short legs, and soon disappeared into the depths of the jungle.

Although the magic jungle is dangerous, facing a little goblin who has mastered the art of invisibility and camouflage, those low-level monsters will not put it in danger of life. Besides, with Mary watching over it in the dark, even if those monsters find it, they will only "lucky" to let themselves lose their lives.

After the two companions disappeared, Grimm put away the magic crocodile hunter and released the 2 points of mental power that were occupied. What he needs in the next battle is the strongest fighting power, so any mental power is precious and cannot be wasted.

After adjusting and stabilizing his spirit, Grimm summoned the lightning giant and a rock python without hesitation. It takes 7 points of mental power to maintain the existence of the lightning giant, and 3 points of mental power to maintain a rock python. Grimm's current mental power has reached 13.25 points (including the noble headband +1 spirit), which is enough for him to summon another rock python or water man.

This is the strongest combat combination that Grimm can achieve by pushing himself to the limit.

However, considering that the environment here is difficult to exert the strongest combat power of the new magic puppet water man, Grimm prefers the former.

As soon as the lightning giant appeared, a rumbling and dull thunder sounded in this huge underground space. With a crackling lightning storm all over his body, the lightning giant opened his radiant eyes, floated in the air more than ten meters high, and rushed into the demonized jungle first.

Grimm gritted his teeth, simply sorted out his equipment, and followed the lightning giant without looking back. The huge rock python dragged its heavy body and slowly swam behind Grimm, guarding against possible attacks from behind.

One man and two beasts walked slowly in the demonized jungle.

Grimm didn't need to bother to clear the shrubs and vines that were in the way. When the tall figure of the Lightning Giant floated past, all the plants that were too close to it would be turned into a pile of ashes in the sudden thunderstorm. Even the small animals hidden in the dense jungle were no exception! As long as the Lightning Giant could sense the breath of life, it would be struck by lightning.

With the strength of the Lightning Giant's top-level quasi-witch, the lightning it casually fired was difficult for even the iron-armored rhinos with tenacious vitality to withstand, not to mention these small monsters that were only known for their weird abilities and stealth abilities!

Go forward and crush all the way!

Wherever it passed, everything in the world turned into ashes, and even the ground was full of scorch marks and cracks caused by the bombardment of thunder!

Although the monsters wanted to guard the source that could continuously bring them strength, when the largest group of ferocious wolves were all destroyed in front of the lightning giant, they finally knew fear and began to flee frantically from the messenger of hell that could bring them death.

In front of the dilapidated ruins of the wizard tower that Grimm arrived at last time, the hazy and beautiful figure of the flower spirit slowly emerged.

Looking at the rolling black clouds condensing over the jungle in the distance, from time to time there was a blinding lightning flash, followed by a low and continuous rumbling thunder. Although the number of enemies cannot be seen now, Hua Ling frowned and was unable to make a decision just by relying on the power of the summoned thundercloud.

Looking at the direction of the thundercloud, the target is directly here.

If these outsiders are allowed to burn the flames of war here, it is likely to cause incalculable damage to the source of life underground. Therefore, a resolute look suddenly appeared on Hua Ling's beautiful face, and she casually grabbed the air, and the magic bow that had always accompanied her since she was born appeared in her hand.

With Hua Ling's whisper, the demonic plants around the ruins began to grow and spread wildly, and soon covered the hidden entrance of the ruins with lush plants.

After doing all this, Hua Ling shouted angrily, flapped her almost transparent wings, and quickly pounced on the invading enemy.
