A Sorcerer's Journey Chapter 635

“Caw caw caw, Young Master, the fourteenth mission is complete, what are we gonna do next?”

There were still two months left before the Sorcerer Continent's intake of new Sorcerer-Apprentices, which happened once every ten years. These past four months, everything Grimm did had been reported to the higher ups within the Shadow Argus Sorcerer Academy and he had just recently destroyed their guardian's nest. This was indeed the event that would throw the academy into chaos!

The resulting effect was no less than the one time Grimm attacked their Sorcerer Tower.

Grimm, after a long time of keeping quiet, suddenly turned his head and asked, “Myna, you still remember the reason I've not done further research into curse sorcery?”

“Huh?!” Little Myna's body froze before slowly turning to face Grimm with a dazed expression and screaming in disbelief, “Young Master, you can't possibly be considering using my Mega Reversed Curse Sorcery can you?!”

Grimm chuckled. “What are we?”

“Eh? We're soul partners of course.” The bird said it as it was, it made sense in his head.

“We're not only just soul partners, we're the best of friends. Aren't friends supposed to joke around with one another?” Grimm said serenely to Myna, which was completely out of character for him.

Little Myna's only proper sorcery spell, the so-called Mega Reversed Curse Sorcery, was claimed to be an eight thousand year old magnum opus of his blood, sweat and knowledge created under Antonio's design. Creatures under Level-3 could never escape the 'super-curse spell of doom'!

The spell varied in power based on the strength of the subject, with it intimately collecting information about the subject's magic power. If the degree of magic provided to Little Myna was different from his, then the result would be different. It was a very advanced and powerful spell, but due to how vain Little Myna was, the spell had never been casted.

“Caw, caw, caw, Young Master, are you for real? I'm not very smart, so don't play tricks on me!” Little Myna said as he pretended to wipe tears from his face, peeking at Grimm from behind his feathers.

“Of course I'm being real!” Grimm said firmly.

“Gah?! Grimm Beast, you have no idea how delighted I am to hear you say that! You didn't know, but back in the day that old thing's soul partner, Old Bat, used to like to bully me, that douche, and I vowed that one day I would find a summoned beast more powerful, and friendlier, one that likes me more and is more perfect than that old bastard.”

In truth, Grimm was getting a little bit peeved. It was too easy to rile up Little Myna's arrogance.

It had been one thousand years and only now did Grimm finally accept Little Myna's Mega Reversed Curse Sorcery, what a bastard…

“Aiyaiyai, Young Master, don't be angry, it's like you say! It's a joke among friends. The spell's design has always been like this, caw caw caw. You will be my Grimm Beast someday and whoever dares to bully you, I'll curse them to death, caw caw caw caw. Oh I'm just oh so happy today!”

Grimm responded with a 'hmph' and said no further. Besides, he did manage to find out why Little Myna always hated bats. The soul partner of the ancient Grand Celestial Sorcerer Antonio was a bat?

It seemed that this bat and Little Myna never got along, then what was his relationship with Antonio then?

If Little Myna were to lose himself as a medium of communication with the soul, he would transform back into his true form. A handkerchief, only capable of existing in the Dimensional Gap and was unable to exist in the real world.

For the Steel Emblem Mynas of the Sorcerers World, although they had the natural ability to communicate with some mysterious powers, there had never been any information on them being able to communicate between Dimensional Gaps!

Dimensional Gaps were purely illusory spaces formed by imagination. Even a Sorcerer like Grimm, who had the talent to pry open Dimensional Gaps, had to exhaust his own memories to open a gap, placing his Spacetime Seal on it to keep it open.

But because the gap between dimensions was so unperceivable, no real creatures could reach that place and the same applied to a Sorcerer like Grimm!

According to Little Myna, it was on the edge of the dimensional barrier of the Endless World, which was the edge of the current three-dimensional realm and the higher meta level or lower meta level realm.

So how could Little Myna move about it so easily? Grimm had a theory in his mind, as even Little Myna himself did not know the answer. He believed that Little Myna was not actually a Sorcerers World Steel Emblem Myna, but instead a creature from the imaginary world Dimensional Gap created by the ancient Antonio. A Steel Emblem Myna that could fly out from handkerchiefs! This was the perfect way to clear his doubts and explain the information he had obtained with the clues he had gathered.

Little Myna was not a Steel Emblem Myna from the Sorcerers World, but he was not a fake creature either. The atlas depicted some slight physical deviations from Little Myna with the rest of his 'species'. Little Myna was also not the ancient Antonio's soul partner, as when the Grand Celestial Sorcerer advanced from the Endless World it would be impossible for Little Myna to stay behind. Besides, it had been revealed that Antonio's soul partner was actually a bat of some kind.

It seemed that Little myna was an important clue that Antonio had left in the Endless World, and he could hide some of Antonio's secrets of higher-level meta studies beyond the Dimensional Gaps!

After this guesswork, Grimm looked at the consistently happy-go-lucky and carefree Little Myna and felt a bit of sympathy. They were rather similar, not originally from the Sorcerers World and unaware of their own origins. It was as if they were tools to be used in accomplishing some mission, with everything they were doing seemingly under their own free will but not really living their own lives.

Grimm suddenly realized that he saw a bit of himself in that bird.

“Alright, I plan to complete the four guidance materials for my Esoteric Sorcery soon. You can tell me the full incantation of your Mega Reversed Curse Sorcery. I won't get angry.”

Little Myna looked extremely happy, neck and tail both raised high. “Caw caw caw, Young Master, you better listen closely. I spent seven thousand years perfecting this design.”

With a cough, the bird cleared his throat. “Oh Great Lord Myna, thy loyal servant, the super evolved Grimm Beast, is willing to contribute his own power and beseech thee to exert thine might, use thy noble will to guide the false and mysterious…”

Seven days later.

Crackle-boom!

After firing out a destructive black arc discharge, Grimm acknowledged the subtle changes he had after obtaining that natural energy ability.

Grimm murmured in shock, “The cost of the spell has been reduced by half!” The effects really were amazing, it was no wonder both ancient and modern Sorcerers held this ability in high regard.

Of course, for the average person, the main attraction of a Sorcerer with natural energy ability was the power of the natural born Sorcerer.

In addition, with the help of the natural energy ability, Grimm's magical recovery had greatly improved which indirectly reduced the magical power consumption of his spells and empowered his capability to last longer in combat.

“Caw caw caw, Young Master, you've completed the four guidance materials for your Esoteric Sorcery. What now?” Little Myna asked on Grimm's shoulder.

Grimm looked over to the distant Shadow Argus Academy Sorcerer Tower with an earnest expression on his face, speaking frostily, “Little Myna, it's time we got rid of your target. He thinks hiding in that tower is safe? He he he…”
