Chapter 446: Concern

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The collapse of the Darkglow Kingdom indicated that the Darkglow Kingdom Abyssal Moss Cultivation Plan would ensue next.

It would only take a few years' time before this huge empire and its surrounding kingdoms shared the same destiny as the Dark Destroyer Kingdom, where they were submerged in partial fear like the Ancient Sorcerer World dealing with the abyss civilization.

It was only partial because the abyss cataclysm was merely a by-product after the invasion of the abyss civilization.

The abyss cataclysm was nothing more than an appetizer as compared to the true horror of the abyss civilization!

Unsurprisingly, Black Isotta summoned Grimm.

Grimm respectfully saluted the sorcerer's shadow under the distorted space and said in a humble and admiring voice, “Great Black Isotta, it's my honor to meet you.”

Perhaps in the eyes of the creatures in the foreign worlds, Black Isotta was the embodiment of evil and brutality, but for the Demon-Hunters, he represented the grand Will of the Sorcerer World!

In this cruel era of the endless world, only when so many dynamic sorcerers stood guard together could the civilization be inherited and the Sorcerer World that was in ruins be saved.

It was undeniable that the influence of Black Isotta on Grimm's journey of becoming a formal sorcerer had been enormous.

“Hee hee hee hee, Grimm, I said that I will give you special attention during this Demon-Hunting expedition. This is the special mission I have assigned to you.”

As Black Isotta snapped his fingers, circles of light converged and overlapped on his fingertips before it gradually fell on Grimm's head.

It was the Black Isotta Will!

At the same time, a scroll appeared on Grimm's hands. He did not resist the advent of the Black Isotta Will, instead, his earnest eyes were locked onto the mission scroll. Little Myna, perched on his shoulder, came closer to take a curious look.

“The Arctic Tundra calls for a new dominator of the Infernal Spirit World.”

Grimm's heart skipped a beat as glanced through the words on the mission scroll. He did not expect to receive such a significant mission.

If he succeeded, the Battle Command would definitely increase his contribution rate in this Demon-Hunting expedition in the future, the Sorcerer Essences that came with would be hefty as well.

The requirements:

Select suitable native world aliens who can adapt to the abyss cataclysm of the Infernal Spirit World on the Arctic Tundra, reproduce these aliens on a large scale to replace the Acraepoids and make sure they obey the Sorcerer's Will completely.

The existing racial prowess must have a purchasing power of a hundred million Sorcerer Coins and conduct the first forced trade.

Three hundred years after the end of the Abyss Cataclysm, the Infernal Spirit World must pay ten billion Sorcerer Coins to Black Isotta unconditionally every hundred years, plus an income tax rate of five percent.

For the ten thousand Bright Demon-Hunters on this mission, when the death toll reaches five hundred, a deduction of zero point one on the contribution rate will be applied to each additional death.

Grimm read through the mission scroll meticulously, his heart fluttered in excitement with a hint of uncertainty and worry.

He was excited because of the essential benefit of this substantial mission, he could also proceed with the matter regarding the Tree of Soul Fusion. On the other hand, he was worried because the timing of this mission conflicted with his Infernal Spirit Scriptures mission.

In the conquest plan of this Demon-Hunting expedition, the original road map of the six Void Fortresses was in the order of the Dark Destroyer Kingdom, the Darkglow Kingdom, the Lightglow Kingdom, and the First Acraepoid Kingdom.

However, with the emergence of the large-scale mission of “Unlocking the Snowthread King's Will”, the Darkborne Kingdom, which had suffered total destruction, had also been put on the expedition mission schedule. The Darkborne Kingdom would become the third stop after the Darkglow Kingdom.

The bad news was, the Darkborne Kingdom was a place that Grimm had sworn to avoid at all costs!

It was simply because the place was too dangerous for Grimm. His actions in front of the world gate a hundred years ago had caught unwanted and rather hostile attention of the Acraepoids in the Darkborne Kingdom.

No!

Simply put, every World Guardian was an extremely dangerous predator to Grimm. They would hunt and kill him after discovering his true identity!

From this perspective, it was wise that Grimm avoided access to the Darkborne Kingdom.

Based on their progress, he estimated that this expedition would take about ten to fifteen years until the invasion of the First Acraepoid Kingdom. Until then, it should also be the outbreak period of the partial abyss cataclysm of the Dark Destroyer Kingdom.

However, a mission as massive as this would normally consume no less than twenty years.

Furthermore, the fourth task in this mission was paramount. He must be careful to avoid massive disaccord with the local aliens. The best way to execute the task was to suppress them with the Sorcerer's Will instead of negotiation or temptation.

Grimm had been equipped with the expertise from the reward after he had obtained his Rank-1 Honor Badge.

After the Demon-Hunting expedition, the Battle Command would evaluate according to the development of the entire world's resources. Different worlds would have different evaluation scores. For example, the test scores for the Amonro World and Burrow World were generally within one thousand. The rare special worlds would be within three thousand to five thousand.

For a medium-sized world such as the Infernal Spirit World, their test score would generally be between ten thousand to a hundred thousand!

Grimm estimated that his completion rate of this Demon-Hunting expedition should be around a few tenths of a percent, which was equivalent to a dozen or tens of the contribution rate.

In contrast, if the number of deaths of the Bright Demon-Hunters under his command in this expedition exceeded a thousand, it literally meant that this expedition was a waste of his time and effort.

If he could complete the mission and control the number of deaths within an acceptable range, he would receive a lucrative number of Sorcerer Essences!

He who risked nothing gained nothing!

“What do you say? Is the mission impossible?” Black Isotta asked in a tone of indifference as he spotted Grimm's indecisiveness.

Grimm gritted his teeth, trying his best to compose himself and said with a smile, “Master, thank you for your concern, I'll accept this mission!”

“Hee hee hee hee hee…”

Black Isotta's spiteful laughs echoed the place. “When there is no other World Lord nearby to stop us, I will use the clone sorcery through the Black Isotta Will above your head and sign the contract. The one hundred million Sorcerer Coins are ready, you can call the clone at any time through my Will.”

“Yes.” Grimm nodded. Holding his Sabbatic Goat Staff and with Little Myna perched steadily on his shoulder, he turned around and left.

In the end, Grimm decided to proceed with this mission due to the dire situation of his income. He had spent too many Sorcerer Essences on the carrier experiment of the Observation Tool of Destructive Energy after returning to the Sorcerer World.

As for the “Infernal Spirit Scriptures”…

Grimm already had three clues in his hands.

The first clue was the scriptures in the hands of the main shrine keeper of the First Acraepoid Kingdom, the second was in the hands of the First Acraepoid King, and the third was deep within the First Acraepoid Kingdom.

Plans never varied as fast as changes did. Their personal intention depended heavily on destiny. From now on, all he could do was to take one step at a time.

Three days later.

Grimm stood tall with the black halo above his head representing the Black Isotta Will, Claudia stood behind him, and Little Myna was perched on his shoulder. He looked at the Bright Demon-Hunter in front of him who was riding on the three-headed ostrich.

He was a Level-3 sorcerer. His ostrich was three meters tall, with black heart-shaped eyes on all three heads. They wore a suit of flowery outfit that looked somewhat bizarre. It might be a fashion sense in some foreign world.

The sorcerer was carrying a large umbrella, which was also full of flowery patterns that kept fluctuating and rotating. Maybe it was a tool with special functions.

Behind the sorcerer was an army of ten thousand Bright Demon-Hunters. They all bore a serious and emotionless expression!

“Master Senichino, I put my faith in you for this mission,” Grimm said to the Level-3 Demon-Hunter and saluted.

“Of course, everything is for the great Sorcerer's Will,” the Level-3 Demon-Hunter reciprocated.
