Opening the World Teleportation and Protective Device of the silkworm chrysalis box, something flashed on Grimm's shoulder, and Little Myna flew out from the Dimensional Gap.

“Caw caw caw caw, we're finally going back to the Sorcerers World, Young Master, I'm going to Leafie's place to play, call me when you need anything!”

Little Myna flapped his wings, and disappeared quickly.

A few slaves lifted the silkworm chrysalis box, saying some words of welcoming their return, Grimm shook his head, and flew toward the Dark Demon-Hunter Sorcerers Headquarters.

After turning in the fate contract, Grimm was considered to have completed the Demon-Hunter Expedition to the Magnetite World, next was to retrieve the Sorcerer Essence reward for this Demon-Hunter Expedition.

“Only six hundred Sorcerer Essences huh…”

Grimm muttered, the sight of such a small amount of Sorcerer Essence earnings he got from this Demon-Hunter Expedition made him sigh.

Five hundred out of these six hundred Sorcerer Essences were rewards given out for taking hold of the Blood-Coral Magnetite Star Core, in other words, Grimm's actual reward from this Demon-Hunter Expedition was only one hundred Sorcerer Essences.

The reason why Grimm had gotten so little Sorcerer Essences, on one hand, was that he promised Grand Peak Starlight that he would collect Evil Bloods, and so in the first few decades he kept on observing the thunder patterns on the broken branch, but after the changes that had occured, the Evil Bloods he had collected did not generate any income.

On the other hand, was the losses that Grimm had suffered when he controlled the fortress to attack the Grand Peak Magnetite Star.

If it were not for Elland Garden Stigmata Sorcerer's specific explanation, perhaps Grimm not only would not have gotten any income from this Demon-Hunter Expedition, but he also might have had to compensate Sorcerer Essences to these few Stigmata Sorcerers!

After taking these six hundred Sorcerer Essences and putting them into the Dimensional Gap, he did not seem to be too worried about the one thousand seven hundred and fifty Sorcerer Essences.

While destroying the Grand Peak Magnetite Star, Grimm had used that chance to steal some resources that were enough to support Grimm even if he were to blow up another Demon-Hunter castle…

After he was done handling the two things at hand, Grimm left the Dark Sorcerer Headquarters, and flew to the Tree of Life.

“Congratulations Great Master Grimm for evolving into a Level-2 Sorcerer!”

Having dealt with the Purple Tulip Family frequently, the Level-2 Sorceress who was already very familiar with Grimm congratulated him on advancing into a Level-2 Sorcerer, her jade-coloured eyes and eyebrows had an indescribable style, and were extremely charming.

“Yeah, the Purple Tulip Family's business is flourishing more and more these recent years too.”

Grimm put the perfume and Magic Stone income into the Dimensional Gap, at the same time he took out a large amount of valuable resources that he had gotten from the Magnetite World from the Dimensional Gap.

“Is this Magnetite Essence?”

The Sorceress observed the large amount of ore resources that Grimm had taken out, after identifying the items, she was startled and said, “Such a huge amount?”

Grimm nodded, “I need to sell all these resources, in exchange for Sorcerer Essences, is there a problem?”

The Sorceress thought for a while and said in a deep voice, “I need a month to prepare, this shop mainly trades with Sorcerer Coins and Energy Crystals. This is a large amount of Magnetite Essence in exchange for Sorcerer Essences, if it does not affect the flow of Sorcerer Essence trading then I will be able to retrieve some Sorcerer Essences from the Family.”

“One month? No problem.”

After agreeing with her given time frame, Grimm was about to leave when he was stopped by the Sorceress, “Wait a minute Great Master, I was wondering if the Great Master is interested in working with the Purple Tulip Family to do some trading in the resource exploitation area in Foreign Worlds. I'm representing the Purple Tulip Family in extending an invitation to Great Master Grimm to become one of the worshipping leaders of the Family.”

The eyes of the Sorceress were filled with expectations.

Having a Rank-1 Honor Badge, becoming a Level-2 Sorcerer within a thousand years' time, and obtaining such a large amount of wealth in one full sweep after a Demon-Hunter Expedition…

The future of this Sorcerer, Grimm, was truly infinite!

Putting aside talks of becoming a Stigmata Sorcerer, he would still inevitably become one of the Level-3 Demon-Hunter Great Sorcerers of the Holy Tower of Seven Rings in the future!

Grimm did not turn around after stopping in his tracks, he only hesitated for a while, and then lightly shook his head and said, “No thank you, I'm already working with another Family.”

After that, under the regretful gaze of the Sorceress, Grimm left.

In the assignment hall, Grimm put a crystal ball that was highly encrypted on the counter, under the yearning and respectful stares of the Demon-Hunter Sorcerers that he was used to, and paid some Magic Stones for issuing assignments.

This was the investment co-partnership that Grimm and Amurand had agreed on.

Grimm would provide detailed information about the world that he had gone to for a Demon-Hunter Expedition, and in return, what Amurand would need to pay was when Grimm were to build a Sorcerer Tower he would have to provide all his support.

There was no need to mention other insignificant matters as Grimm flew toward his own Demon-Hunter Castle.

The destroyed Demon-Hunter Castle had been rebuilt, including the lawn, and the outside looked the same as it did before.

But inside, all that belonged to Grimm was no more.

That was not true…

At least Grimm's World Experiment Lab was still here.

“Lord Grimm!”

Thousand-Eyed Carcinus who was resting felt Grimm's return, it quickly stood up to greet him, after a few decades, its claws had regenerated a little, it would probably have fully recovered by the next Demon-Hunter Expedition.

“Thousand-Eyed Carcinus, where's Millie?”

Before that, as his Demon-Hunter Castle was destroyed, the lawn was blown up, leaving a huge crater in place. As such, Grimm had arranged to put Thousand-Eyed Carcinus at the lawn in front of Millie's Demon-Hunter Castle.

“Sorceress Millie went for a Demon-Hunter Expedition fifteen years ago.”

“Okay.”

Grimm nodded, and gave it a few Magic Stones. After motioning for Thousand-Eyed Carcinus to continue resting, he entered his own Demon-Hunter Castle.

A creak sounded upon his entrance to the castle, Grimm stared at the brand new Demon-Hunter Castle, and could not help but recall the day he first entered the Demon-Hunter Castle after the Qualification Battle of the Holy Tower.

That time, he was full of expectations and illusions about his Demon-Hunter life that was about to begin, with some feelings of unwillingness in leaving his fellow Sorcerer-Apprentice friends and slight expectations still lingering within his heart.

Everything was in the past now, he had truly matured since that day.

The Grimm now was the mysterious, powerful and out of reach Sorcerer in the eyes of the Grimm who was still a Sorcerer-Apprentice, standing at such great heights after going through all the things that he had to go through.

Growth, meant not being immersed in the fairy tale stories the elders made up to keep us in a protective lie, but to practise accepting the cruel reality, to face it head on with bravery, taking on the responsibilities that we could handle within the extent of our own powers.

The representation of power was not only its destructive power, it was also a form of responsibility.

“Even though it's newly built, its future is not mine anymore.”

Grimm muttered to himself as he stepped onto the ladders, one step at a time, and walked toward the Demon-Hunter altar, after a dimensional ripple, he disappeared from the Demon-Hunter Castle, and entered the World Experiment Lab.

“Oh? There's so many already?”

Grimm's descent to the World Experiment Lab threw the Rain Dew Flower Spirits into confusion, the crowded number of the Rain Dew Flower Spirits was everywhere.

Grimm soon realized that the Rain Dew Flower Spirits were separated into two parties.

One party was protecting him, thinking he was the ‘One True God' of this world, while the other party was still the same as they were before, shouting, “the demon king Sorcerer has descended”.

It was a very peculiar feeling, Grimm stared with his mouth opened wide when the Rain Dew Flower Spirits started a battle, a real battle to the death!

A battle of religion?

Grimm himself who had faith did not actually do anything. He did not need these Rain Dew Flower Spirits to defend him or anything of that sort.

Yet, these low-level creatures were crazed to the point they were fighting for Grimm.
