"I know that you could take away other people's talents using your Trio of Grand Hidden Sorceries and that you have acquired my sister's Body of Flame. When I think about it, during the qualification battles at the Holy Tower, you got a hold of my blood as well. You should be able to form the Essence of Ice body at will now?
After pausing for a moment, Millie, emotional and grateful, said," Previously, I had lost all hope. I'd never thought that you would appear and save me. There is no way to express my gratitude. This scroll recorded two hundred years' worth of my analysis and discernment on the Essence of Ice Crystallization sorcery. Take this as my way of saying thanks."
Essence of Ice Crystallization?
Grimm remembered the diamond-shaped ice crystal that was son Millie's forehead. Now, because Millie had put a seal on herself previously, her forehead was empty. There was nothing there.
However, Grimm could clearly sense from the glimmering crystal light that Millie had probably compressed her ice energies and turned it into a super-powerful energy reserve node. That was how she could cast large-scaled strategic spells that would exhaust a lot of mana.
Grimm's expression became stern. After receiving the scroll, he nodded his head as a sign of agreement toward the unspoken rule of knowledge exchange between the two dark sorcerers.
He passed the scroll to Myna. The myna cackled and turned into a figure of a child's scribbles before vanishing in the dimension gap.
Millie looked at Grimm enviously. The Myna was originally obtained by her father by chance. It was intended for her. She hoped that she could once again interact with the wonderful little spirit by using her Ice Age Sealing sorcery as her base.
But she never expected the unforeseen event during the qualification battles of the holy tower. The Myna had now became Grimm's soul partner.
She let out a sigh in her heart. Millie no longer cared for the outside world and concentrated on regaining her magical powers. There was a short period of calmness on the void fortress.
...
A month later.
"Hold! No retreating, victory is within reach!" An officer of the Bright Sorcerers shouted in the skies above the void fortress. He was rallying the magical army of more than ten Demon-hunting Sorcerers on a magical hexagram array, which served a vital role in a corner of the void fortress's defense.
However, deep within his eyes, there was a sense of utter bitterness.
A Level 2 sorcerer like him was almost at his limits, not to mention the surrounding Level 1 Demon-hunting Sorcerers.
If he lost this side, the innumerable Amonros would be able to break through quickly into the void fortress square. It would be chaotic.
To depend on those Dark Sorcerers?
Those people only fight for themselves. In front of an organized fighting force such as the Bright Sorcerers, they were nothing but support. To put it bluntly, they were merely stronger versions of their Soul Slaves.
Ooo...
At this moment, a loud horn was sounded across the void fortress square. Suddenly, a large army of mechanical marionettes appeared at the entryway that led from the square to the underground basement. They rushed into the front of the void fortress, taking over the defensive circles of the Bright Sorcerers. The crowd of exhausted Bright Sorcerers regrouped back at the void fortress square.
Grimm, who set up a defensive position at a corner of the square turned his head and watched at the tens of thousands of mechanical marionettes lining up in a formation to march into the front of the fortress. He couldn't help but feel more relaxed. He mumbled, "Finally, the Battle Command released these strategic assets. So, has the fortress finally reached its destination?"
The mechanical marionettes were the final measures of survival for the void fortress. They were also important strategic resources that were hoarded by the sorcerer without any limit.
The Holy Tower had a huge price and insane amount of rules on any damaged or destroyed mechanical marionettes to eliminate the Demon-hunting Sorcerers' dependencies on the strategic resources. Hence, the Stigmata Sorcerers were reluctant to use them.
Now that the Stigmata Sorcerers were using the mechanical marionettes, it would mean that in a short time, the safe haven that the void fortress had been spreading around is finally within reach.
What kind of place would it be?
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Mechanical marionettes, big and small, each with different characteristics were lined up neatly. They were shooting out energy beams, fearlessly defending the front of the void fortress against the erratic Amonros that slammed in with a deathwish. Some of them broke into hand-to-hand combat with the Amonros that slammed into the fortress. It was a fierce battle.
During the last moments of the qualification war of the Holy Tower, Grimm knew that even the lowest worker-ant level mechanical marionette had the capabilities of a lowest rank-one creature. Above them, the soldier-ants and ant-general mechanical marionettes were at least rank two or three.
Now, as Grimm looked on the appearance of hundreds of thousands of mechanical marionettes, he was in awe.
Although it appeared as if the demon hunters were at their limits, the void fortress was far beyond its damage threshold.
Perhaps it was some kind of training for the Demon-hunting Sorcerers.
After three hourglasses had passed, the endless assaults of the Amonros grew even more fierce. The closer it was to the front of the void fortress, the fiercer the battle became. Finally, the Demon-hunting Sorcerers saw the endless winds of the enigmatic hurricanes blowing at a distance. The hurricane appeared to be blowing violently, as if it would tear apart everything in its way.
'Hmm?
'Is this... a sealed land? '
