A Sorcerer's Journey A Sorcerer's Journey Chapter 625 – The Thousand

Chapter 625: The Thousand-Eyed Lamp

“You really have lived up to my expectations.”

Grimm looked at the nine Sorcerer-Apprentices who came out of Dawn Protector City, and finally placed his focus on Nigra, even praising him in public.

The battle-worn yet slightly embarrassed Nigra suddenly raised his head and smiled.

Grimm nodded, and then said, “I think you have realized the gap between yourself and these real Elite Sorcerer-Apprentices. The Holy Tower Qualification Battle only selects practical Elite Sorcerer-Apprentices!”

After Grimm said so, the stiff expressions of several other Sorcerer-Apprentices were slightly loosened.

They had a lot of prejudice toward Nigra. Be it combat capability, combat consciousness, or even battle arrangements, this guy was far behind them. Being able to survive this time showed that this guy was lucky!

However, these Sorcerer-Apprentices did not know that the reason Nigra survived the battle was not just out of luck, but due to his usage of some life-saving means obtained after trading his Carvime Potion Knowledge with Grimm.

'The Carvime Potion Knowledge is Nigra's luck?'

On the other side, Alice and two Level-1 Sorcerers counted the number of newly recruited Sorcerer-Apprentices, there were a total of one hundred and ninety-two of them.

After the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy had lowered the conditions for recruiting Sorcerer-Apprentices, a small district like the Dawn Protector City had managed to produce so much of Sorcerer-Apprentice fresh blood, as such it had fulfilled its intended purpose.

Alice stood in front of the remaining nine Sorcerer-Apprentices out of the original twelve, and said warmly, “You have completed your task well. I also saw the enormous sacrifices you have made for the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy. The academy will surely keep that in mind. Upon returning to the academy, you will be given…”

A hundred and ninety-two newcomers were led to return to the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy without any resistance. Normally, it would not be so smooth sailing.

But when Grimm took out his Starfall Reconnaissance Craft, and summoned the escort of the Dark Devourer Infernal Spirit Giant, the situation was extremely different!

Grimm had discovered three concealment Sorcerers from the Shadow Argus Sorcerer Academy, all of whom he had mercilessly killed. As for the undiscovered Shadow Argus Academy concealment Sorcerers, he still had no clue as to how many there were. Apparently, they were deterred by Grimm's Starfall Reconnaissance Craft.

Generally speaking, the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft symbolized the strongest Level-3 Sorcerer of the Demon-Hunter Consociation. It was a vehicular tool for powerful Sorcerers to find the New World Coordinate outside the Sorcerer Coalition, and could enable lesser life forms to cross the Infinite Void.

Ordinary Sorcerers would not be able to afford owning the Starfall Reconnaissance Craft.

Being impressively mighty, it posed a powerful threat to a lot of people and reduced a lot of trouble for the group of people.

However, the real test had yet to come.

Outside the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy, Alice took out a crystal ball and contacted Peranos.

Looking at his wife, Peranos grinned and asked, “How's the task? This kid, Grimm, did not let you down, right?”

“Not only was there no disappointment, it surprised me a lot, hehe. You, old timer, have trained a good student, are you happy?”

Both Alice and Peranos were rather lovey-dovey. Peranos proudly laughed and said with satisfaction, “Okay, I will come pick you up now. The recovery of the academy is still in progress, and there are still a lot of Shadow Argus Academy Sorcerers hidden there. Be careful.”

As the crystal ball was cut off, Grimm, who was by her side, hid his smile, pretending that he did not know what had transpired just now.

“Alright, let's wait here for a while. Your mentor will come over in a while to pick us up. Now, the academy's recovery work is being carried out intensely, and no more Sorcerers can be sent out.”

Two hourglasses later.

“Kakakakaka. Dean Peranos, I wonder if you can support the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Tower under this Thousand-Eyed Lamp.”

An old Sorceress from the Shadow Argus Sorcerer Academy holding a strange lamp suddenly appeared.

Grimm had seen this lamp before. It was one of the Shadow Argus Sorcerer Academy's three inherited heritage tools. Being infinitely powerful and unpredictable, it involved some advanced sorcerer knowledge and was also linked with the Mana Pool of the Shadow Argus Sorcerer Tower. It was an extremely great magical tool.

Such a tool linking with the Mana Pool of a Sorcerer Tower was like a Stigmata Sorcerer in general. It must rely on the stable Sorcerer Tower to survive, otherwise it would lose any effectiveness and become a lesser tool.

The old Sorceress held up the Thousand-Eyed Lamp. With Peranos, Grimm, Alice, two Level-1 Sorcerers, nine Sorcerer-Apprentices, and more than a hundred newcomers gazing at it, suddenly, a huge black and white eye appeared high above the burning wick!

“The Thousand-Eyed Lamp!”

Peranos displayed a look of utter shock. He did not expect the old Sorceress to still be here, and her ability to master the Thousand-Eyed Lamp…

Suddenly, eyes started appearing, one by one, on Peranos, Grimm, Alice, and the two Level-1 Sorcerers' bodies. The eyeballs in these strange eyes kept spinning, and wherever these strange eyes grew, those parts of their bodies were no longer responsive.

“Yaah…”

The nine Sorcerer-Apprentices and more than a hundred newcomers behind were already stunned by this situation. Some girls could not help but scream out loud and collapse onto the ground as their legs gave way.

“Don't panic! Reduce blood flow, cut down mana consumption, and leave the vicinity of the Thousand-Eyed Lamp shroud!”

Peranos had three strange eyes that had appeared on his body. At this time, there was a fourth eye on his forehead that was about to open slowly, but Peranos used some spatial means to forcefully seal and resist it.

“It's me he wants. Get out of here!”

Peranos growled. Yet, he was actually just howling at both Grimm and Alice who possessed some levels of resistance.

The two Level-1 Sorcerers were already covered with dense black and white eyes. The eyeballs of each eye were spinning in different directions, and their whole bodies could not move at all. With the eyeballs spinning even faster, streams of Soul Power were gradually extracted from these eyes by the Thousand-Eyed Lamp and pulled toward the black and white eye above the lamp's burning wick.

Obviously, these two Level-2 Sorcerers were already behind the eight ball.

“No! Peranos…”

There were already more than ten strange eyes growing on Alice's body, but she did not want to leave. The number of the strange eyes on her body continued to increase under the constant illumination of the Thousand-Eyed Lamp.

Peranos roared. Upon chanting sorcery spells in his mouth, magnificent magic waves surged. As if his whole body was going to burn, he exhibited a certain powerful sorcery.

Yet, when an eye grew out of his right hand, his magic staff dropped. At the same time, under the circumstances of him having to continue resisting the birth of another strange eye, the power he could unleash was not even half of its true powers.

“Young Master, your souls are too weak. Look at me, these eyes are growing at will without affecting me one bit. Caw caw caw. The Thousand-Eyed Carcinus would certainly not be afraid of this sorcery too.”

Little Myna's body was already covered with dense and strange eyes, but he merely laughed without conscience like nothing bad was happening, as he observed these eyes curiously.
