A Sorcerer's Journey 557 Expedition to the Magnetite World

With a creak, after the upper half of the hatch door of the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft had been opened, Grimm, with Little Myna on his shoulder, slowly stepped onto the ground and walked into the Dark Sorcerer Headquarters.

After half an hourglass.

"There will be a Demon-Hunting Expedition in two months' time. Great!"

Grimm once again piloted the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft and flew toward Millie's Demon-Hunter Castle. He had to make arrangements for Thousand-Eyed Carcinus first.

One of Thousand-Eyed Carcinus's claws was still in the regeneration stage and was very fragile. Therefore, Grimm did not intend to bring it along for the Demon-Hunting Expedition. After some past experiences, Grimm had already regarded Thousand-Eyed Carcinus as a friend.

In the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft, Grimm stared at the broken branch in his hands.

It had been hundreds of years, throughout which Grimm had rarely displayed the anxious look he had when he first discovered the secret of the broken branch, waiting for the flash of lightning pattern.

"Caw, caw, caw. Master, how much time will it take to absorb all the lightning patterns of this broken branch?"

Grimm stared at the broken branch, shaking his head for fear of missing something.

"The exact time is unclear. If we strive hard, we may make a breakthrough in the next few decades!"

***

Two months later.

Piloting the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft, Grimm flew to the Dark Sorcerer Headquarters alone and began to gather Dark Sorcerers in large numbers on the hexagonal square on top of the building. A mechanical bee sent Grimm to the interiors of the Void Fortress above the clouds.

This was an ordinary Void Fortress with a diameter of ten thousand meters, and there was nothing special about it.

Click!

Grimm landed inside the Void Fortress and stepped onto the metal floor, making a clicking sound as he did. After looking around the extremely busy mechanical space inside the Void Fortress, Grimm, along with Little Myna, held his Sabbatic Goat Staff while walking step by step toward the Battle Command chamber.

The cascading layers of Magic Interdiction and defense mechanisms were of no hindrance to him, and all were greenlighted for Grimm.

With a creak, the heavy metal door behind the Battle Command chamber opened.

A number of intelligent Mechanical Marionettes looked at him, and a few pots of ferocious vines entangled with each other approached Grimm, but after sensing the fluctuation of Grimm's Principal Will of the Sorcerers World, they flinched and retreated.

Behind Grimm, the heavy metal door of the Battle Command chamber closed.

At this time, there were around forty people in the Battle Command chamber. The Fortress Core had not been activated yet. They were looking at numerous documents, studying image information from a crystal ball, discussing with each other, and formulating battle plans.

After these elite Sorcerers looked up at Grimm, they realized that he was a Level-1 Sorcerer with a Rank-1 Honor Badge. Several Chief Sorcerers looked at each other, and a beautiful black-haired Sorceress walked toward Grimm, with her seductive flame-red lips being somewhat similar to Claudia's.

This Sorceress did not have Claudia's deliberate glamorousness. Her sorcerer's robe was an Elemental Coat, a rare tool, similar to Grimm's former Mandala Sorcerer's Robe.

"Master."

Grimm greeted the Level-3 Sorcerer, and Little Myna on his shoulder exclaimed, "Caw, caw, caw. What kind of world are you invading this time?"

The corner of the Sorceress's red lips revealed a slight arc, as if she seemed to like Little Myna.

Turning around, the Sorceress retrieved a crystal ball and thick pile of data, and said to Grimm, "This mission is running on limited time. Don't be surprised, everyone must make the best use of their time in drawing out battle plans."

After a pause, the Sorceress spoke to Little Myna, "The world we are going to this time is called the Magnetite World, but our mission is not to plunder and invade, but to help the ruler of the Magnetite World and the Magnetite people in defeating their enemy, a World Lord and his minions who broke the Ancient Seal of the Magnetite World. "

"Caw?"

Little Myna stared blankly at the Sorceress as if he doubted what he was hearing.

The Sorcerers World was going to help other worlds!?

This was an incredible thing for the Ancient Sorcerers. But for the five worlds that established the Sorcerer Coalition in modern times, the impossible could become possible.

As for the worlds of the Demon-Hunting Expedition, modern Sorcerers would resort to plundering their colonial rulers instead of slave plundering as done by the Ancient Sorcerers.

In order to strengthen the power of the Sorcerer Civilization as soon as possible, the Sorcerers World generally allowed local native creatures of the invaded worlds to continue ruling the world, on the condition that they sign a Fate Contract to join the Sorcerer Coalition. The Sorcerers World rarely adopted bondage or genocide policies.

The Acraepoid clan in the Infernal Spirit World was just one example in the Sorcerers World's Demon-Hunting Expedition.

Based on this situation, creatures of some worlds would actively contact the Sorcerers World through various methods, propose certain conditions to reach an agreement, and actively join the Sorcerer Coalition.

For example... this Magnetite World!

Obviously, the Magnetite people must be facing the real crisis of racial survival, and had somehow contacted the Sorcerers World, requesting to join the Sorcerer Coalition.

As for the terms and conditions, it was to defeat the enemies who threatened their survival.

Grimm looked at the image in the crystal ball and the pile of information in his hands, gradually forgetting the passing of time.

From the perspective of a fairy tale, the Magnetite people were like innocent victims while the Sorcerers World's Demon-Hunting Expedition was an expedition of justice.

First, the information in the crystal ball.

The history of the Magnetite World being ruled by Magnetite people had been unavailable for a very long time. There was no interchange between the sun and the moon in the world, nor were there changes between seasons. There were only streams of beautiful Magnetite Rays shrouding the sky.

In such a world, the plants were mainly all kinds of moss, algae, and ferns. In the sky, there was an uncountable number of Magnetite Stones floating everywhere. Even the giant Magnetite Mountains and the Magnetite Island had an abundance of ore resources.

All in all, this was a Foreign World that differed greatly from the laws of the Sorcerers World.

But the World Internal laws were mild, and they would not cause accidental death to both humans and Sorcerers.

In the Magnetite World, all living non-corporeal Magnetite Creatures were a kind of magnetic energy body. For ordinary humans, they were like invisible and intangible ghosts in biographical novels. But for Sorcerers, they were just heterogeneous elemental life.

The nature force sensing ability of any official Sorcerer could clearly "see" this type of creature.

The ruler of this world was called the Magnetite people not because they were humanoids, but the name was added by Sorcerers. In fact, they were just creatures of irregular luminophoric shapes, but they also had their own social systems and social civilization.

These were not the main points.

The main point was...

In ancient times, a powerful weird creature of unknown origin was linked by the evil forces of the Magnetite people, and had been successfully summoned into the Magnetite World with the intention of achieving certain goals.

From that day onward, the disaster of the Magnetic World began.

This horrifying creature of unknown worlds had extraordinary power beyond imagination. The Magnetite people called it the Evil Blood Dreadlord.

Its body was made up of the blood of numerous Endless Creatures. It had no fixed form, could travel freely underground, could incarnate into tens of millions of forms, and could bewitch the Will of Corroded Flesh Blood Creatures...

All in all, this was a scary and powerful foreign unknown creature.

After the ancient and powerful Magnetite World went through a cataclysmic-like catastrophe, it sealed the Evil Blood Dreadlord and restored the Magnetite World to temporary peace.

After the battle, both the number and types of flesh and blood creatures in the Magnetite World sharply decreased, causing the plants in the world to begin degenerating along with them, which in turn caused the Magnetic Mountains, that were interdependent with the plants in order to stay afloat, to fall from the sky. The Magnetite World was gradually declining due to the turbulence.

But now, the Evil Blood Dreadlord had finally broken the weakening Ancient Magnetite Seal and came to the Magnetite World once again!

Today's Magnetite World could no longer withstand the horrible biological pollution and corrosion from this unknown world. The Evil Blood Dreadlord was gradually occupying this world, and wanted to become the new 'master' of this world.

This was a foreign god of evil!

The Magnetite people then learned about the Sorcerers World through powerful creatures of other Foreign Worlds, and thus found the mighty Sorcerers World. They proactively requested to join the Sorcerer Coalition and asked the Sorcerers World to save the dying Magnetite World.

From the looks of it, from the Magnetite people's perspective as innocent victims, the Sorcerers World's Demon-Hunting Expedition this time was indeed an expedition of justice.

Of course for the Evil Blood Dreadlord, the Sorcerers World was undoubtedly the evil and powerful world that destroyed the laws of survival of the fittest in the Endless World.

As for the information on the pile of paper, they mainly introduced the characteristics of the flesh and blood creatures that were bewitched by the Evil Blood Dreadlord.

First of all, it must be emphasized that any flesh-based food in the Magnetite World could not be eaten by Sorcerers.

The Sorcerer's strong spiritual will might be able to resist the will corrosion. However, if food contaminated by the Evil Blood Dreadlord's clones was eaten, that was another story altogether.

Second, the Demon-Hunter Sorcerers of this Demon-Hunting Expedition could not bring any soul slaves, so as to not let them become the minions of the Evil Blood Dreadlord.

Third, in order to seal both the Evil Blood Dreadlord's main body and clones, parts of them were to be brought back to the Sorcerers World as samples to study whether the will corrosion belonged to the civilized system.

Fourth, the Magnetite Stones were an important synthetic element for refining the alloy shell of the Void Fortress. This Demon-Hunting Expedition must reach a contract with the Magnetite people in order to build trust with each other, and invite the Magnetite Elites to the Sorcerers World Sky City!

***

Aboard the Void Fortress, Elland Garden Stigmata Sorcerer, White Glazed Tile Stigmata Sorcerer, Thunder Razor Stigmata Sorcerer, and Big Ben Stigmata Sorcerer made their appearance.

Grimm was slightly surprised.

These four Stigmata Sorcerers were actually the few Stigmata Sorcerers of the 19th District!

During the territorial academy period, Grimm fought with the Bright Sorcerer-Apprentices of these Sorcerer Academies.

Five days later.

The Demon-Hunter Sorcerers aboard the fortress were briefly informed regarding both the plant and animal specimens of the Magnetite World, cutting short a complete understanding of what they were about to face.

Among them, Elland Garden Stigmata Sorcerer was the leader of this Demon-Hunting Expedition. After Elland Garden Stigmata Sorcerer made a declaration about going on the expedition for justice, defeating the Evil Blood Dreadlord, and helping the Magnetite people to restore world peace, the Principal Will of the Sorcerers World descended on the Void Fortress, thus activating both the Fortress Core and the fortress's Sorcerer Barrier.

There was no process of calling the sea of ​​soul slaves in the fortress's interiors as per usual.
