Chapter 0946 Confrontation in the Dark
For the Zambes Empire, the past month has been the most difficult period.
Most of the high-ranking knights of the empire have gathered in the Dabire Highlands. Under the command of the powerful 4th-level Paladin Roland, they are bravely attacking the tower of the evil witch.
At this time, some powerful and evil wizards broke into the Envik plane again and began to wreak havoc in the north of the empire.
These outsiders do not seem to belong to the same camp. As soon as they arrived in the Envik plane, they fell into crazy attacks and battles with each other. Compared with them, the natives of the Envik plane seemed too fragile and insignificant.
Not to mention expelling these outsiders, even if they were a little closer to them, they might be destroyed in the doomsday-like wizard battle. A man and a woman, two wizards from different planes, have destroyed two border towns one after another with their unscrupulous actions, and have concocted several terrible dead zones in the Sidrak Mountains that no one dared to approach.
Moreover, as the two wizards left the Sidrak Mountains and entered the interior of the empire, the loss of personnel and materials in the empire caused by their reckless behavior began to rise sharply, and even caused a disaster in the north of the empire.
It was not Grimm or Katie who caused the disaster, but the Plague Poison Spirit.
As a Plague Poison Spirit at the top of the second level, it was not qualified to participate in the fight between the two third-level wizards. Therefore, Grimm almost never summoned this Plague Poison Spirit in the daytime battle, but only sent it out to harass Katie at night.
And the only way for the Plague Poison Spirit to fight is to poison!
Poison the air or land where Katie may pass, poison the water source where Katie may rest, and even poison the jungle creatures that Katie may feed on... In short, everything that Katie may come into contact with, it releases a large amount of biological toxins and plague spores tirelessly.
Unfortunately, the sword girl Katie also came prepared, and her own poison resistance was also amazingly high, so she did not fall into the poisonous traps set by the Plague Poison Spirit. Instead, it was the ordinary jungle creatures that suffered the scourge and became victims of these highly toxic traps.
Those who were poisoned to death on the spot were still lucky. Some of the tenacious jungle creatures carried the plague spores and ran out of the mountains, thus spreading these terrible plague toxins to a wider range.
For a time, the plague was rampant in the northern part of the empire, and the speed of the epidemic spread was extremely alarming.
It was another starless and dark night, and two bonfires burning side by side once again illuminated the entire wilderness.
Although it was late summer and early autumn, the nights in the wilderness were still so cold.
Grimm sat by the bonfire, skillfully grilling the venison in his hands. The crystal-like amber-like fragrant sauce was brushed all over the surface of the venison, and it made a slight sizzling sound under the bonfire. From time to time, one or two drops of golden grease dripped into the fire below, causing a series of slight crackling sounds.
The strange puppet-like plague poison spirit sat quietly on Grimm's shoulder, supporting his chin with his hand, thinking silently. From time to time, clusters of green fluorescence swayed from its palm-sized wooden body, circling around its body for a few circles and then sinking into its body.
Grimm, who was close at hand, could sense clearly that every time a cluster of green fluorescence lit up, a strand of strange energy would diffuse out from the surrounding void and merge into the body of the Plague Poison Spirit. And the energy aura on its body would also increase slightly.
To be honest, the increased energy was simply insignificant. If Grimm had not communicated with its soul and had a detailed scan of the chip, it would be almost impossible to detect this energy increase.
However, if the weak energy continued, it would accumulate to a considerable amount!
Therefore, in the past few days, Grimm could clearly feel that the Plague Poison Spirit was madly hoarding energy in order to break through the unbreakable level 3 threshold.
And the weak energy it absorbed actually came from the life individuals it poisoned.
The life energy that the weak jungle creatures, such as centipedes, lizards, and spotted snakes can bring to the Plague Poison Spirit when they die from the plague poison is almost undetectable. However, as the plague toxin spreads to the human kingdom, the life energy obtained by the Plague Poison Spirit immediately begins to rise straight up.
Under the action of the strange law of life, any creature or plant that dies from the plague toxin will enhance the power of the Plague Poison Spirit in disguise!
Therefore, in recent days, the Plague Poison Spirit is undoubtedly the one who has gained the most and the most in this strange team. And Grimm has gradually developed his own fighting style and methods with the training and exercise of more than a month, and has gained a lot.
However, in contrast to them, the sword girl Katie looks a little embarrassed and a little down!
In another wasteland less than 200 meters away from Grimm's fire, the sword girl Katie also lit a bonfire and confronted them from a distance.
Due to some unknown reasons, the sword girl Katie has always found it difficult to hunt those large carnivorous or herbivorous creatures. Therefore, her food can only be the gophers, snakes or lizards that can be found everywhere.
To be honest, if you ignore the clear-cut boundary between flesh and metal on the body and face of the knife girl Katie, she is still a petite and graceful beautiful woman. Her face is extremely beautiful, but her tight lips are as thin as two sharp blades, and her eyebrows and eyes are full of murderous aura.
At this moment, she was staring at Grimm who was enjoying the food in the distance with hatred, while twisting and squeezing her hands, the black-scaled snake in her hand was dislocated, and the fine scales all over the body fell like snowflakes.
She stuffed the black-scaled snake into her mouth, and almost without any chewing, Katie swallowed it quickly. The more than two-meter-long black-scaled snake was swallowed by her in two or three bites, and only a short snake tail about an inch long was left shaking and swaying at the edge of her mouth.
Staring coldly at Grimm and the puppet monster on his shoulder, Katie took a deep breath with hatred, and the last part of the snake tail disappeared completely in her scarlet mouth with a swishing sound.
There is no normal guy who can become a level 3 wizard!
The famous snake venom of the black-scaled snake is a joke to the sword girl Katie. Her inhuman stomach can even directly digest energy crystals when necessary. Therefore, after swallowing one or two elemental crystal cores of level 2 monsters, the magic energy in the body of Sword Princess Katie was quickly replenished.
And swallowing flesh and blood creatures is more about taking their flesh and blood tissues to maintain her strange half-human and half-mechanical body. And every day, Sword Princess Katie has to swallow biological active blenders regularly.
It is a black and viscous witchcraft potion similar to motor oil lubricant!
Only by relying on the biological activity they bring can mechanical wizards avoid irreconcilable conflicts between their flesh and blood parts and mechanical parts. It is precisely because of the long-term use of heavy-tasting witchcraft medicine such as biological active blenders that their taste buds have almost completely disappeared.
Mechanical wizards can't distinguish any taste!
In their eyes, any food is only divided into energy and blood activity, but they can't distinguish the so-called bitter, sweet, salty, sour, spicy and other basic tastes. Therefore, Grimm needs various delicate methods such as grilling and cooking to eat. But Sword Princess Katie often skips these intermediate steps when eating, and swallows them directly.
A man and a woman, two level 3 wizards, were standing nearly 200 meters apart, adjusting their states while facing each other coldly.
If possible, a new battle could break out at any time.
A mere 200 meters away only takes 3 seconds with the full force of the sword girl Katie, just enough for Grimm to completely cast a powerful level 3 witchcraft. As for the level 3 elemental magic machine, due to its horrible speed, it has completely become a "waste"!
As long as Grimm releases the elemental magic machine, the sword girl Katie will turn around and run without hesitation.
Anyway, with the speed of the elemental magic machine and Grimm, it is impossible to catch up with her.
And the news that the elemental magic machine contains a magic furnace, Grimm does not intend to leak it out so easily. So he pretended to scare the opponent away with the elemental magic machine and quickly put it away, as if he was worried about the huge energy loss.
Only when Grimm felt tired and needed deep meditation to restore his mental strength would he release the elemental magic machine for a long time to act as a bodyguard, so that he could have a peaceful sleep.
The battle with this level 3 mechanical witch was obviously a long war, and Grimm had to do his best to maintain his mental state and strength level. And when the sword girl Katie felt tired, she would flee without hesitation, finding a place far enough and hidden enough to eat, drink and sleep well.
Grimm also tried to send low-level wind spirits and earth elements to chase the opponent, but unfortunately they were all thrown off by the opponent.
And when Grimm took advantage of the absence of the sword girl Katie to escape three or four hundred miles in one breath, this strange half-human and half-mechanical guy would still chase him slowly, as if she could clearly grasp Grimm's movements.
After trying several times, Grimm was completely speechless, so he gave up the idea of getting rid of his opponent and began to rush and fight with one mind.
Therefore, there is this awkward scene where neither of them can do anything to the other!
Peaceful coexistence? This is simply impossible when they belong to different camps and have different tasks.
Bloody fight, life and death? As a 3rd-level wizard with great ideals and beliefs, neither Grimm nor the sword princess Katie is ready to die in this dirty and filthy low-level plane.
Therefore, whenever there is a danger of death, they will not hesitate to give up the seemingly good opportunity in front of them and wait for the next opportunity to appear.
Their lives are still long, and there are too many beautiful things waiting for them to experience and enjoy. It is not worth it to bury themselves in this ugly world for a "little" resource and a task.
However, when the two wizards were resting and eating, and facing each other silently, a strange invisible coldness suddenly swept over their bodies.
It was not that the ambient temperature had changed, nor that the magic energy was disordered, but... it was a strange heart palpitation that could not be described in words. It was like... it was like I was suddenly stared at by some powerful strange creature, my body and mind were subconsciously shrinking and throbbing.
Damn, this feeling came again...
Every time this feeling appeared, nothing good happened!
As expected, just as the two level 3 wizards were cursing inwardly, there was suddenly a bustle of people in the darkness in the distance, lights were on, and the sound of horse hooves like a storm was rolling in.
An enemy appeared!
