A Sorcerer's Journey - Chapter 426
Chapter 426: War of the Dark Destroyer Kingdom XVI
Yet, this idea came with a huge risk.
The lava core of the Savage Flame Giant was with Little Myna!
If Grimm were to summon Little Myna into the deeply sealed space, he would lose all power to safely escape from this area. For Little Myna to freely get in and out of the dimensional gaps, it was also dependent on Grimm’s real-world coordinate. It would mean that they would be sealed together in this space at the same time.
Even without the ice seals within, Grimm could sense that he had entered the deepest layers of the seal the first moment he stepped inside this space.
Therefore, he could not break open the relative boundary of the world to get into the void space.
If a low-level being had not undergone the complete training regarding the void space, or if he had not had a stable coordinate blessed by the powers of a Stigmata Sorcerer, a sorcerer’s tower, or a World Lord, he could get lost in the endless void space for the rest of his life even if he had something that could negate the void energies such as a Starfall craft.
If Grimm had done that, it would be like moving from a smaller sealed space into a bigger, endless one.
Should he escape immediately?
Or should he bet it all on the promise of a huge payout? And possibly become one of the tens of millions of forgotten sorcerers that had failed?
He must reach a decision without any hesitation and not a moment too late.
Hesitation now would mean certain failure!
After a painful struggle, Grimm let out a low huff. At a touch of his will, Little Myna appeared in this space.
“Caw caw caw caw, master you’ve finally… caw? Master, are you crazy!?”
Little Myna thought Grimm had summoned it to share his loot. However, at the very next moment, the myna’s sensitive body could feel the sealed space as well as the seal’s chilling air. It let out a shriek before crawling back into the Dimensional Gap.
Grimm wasted no time. In the harsh environment where azure-colored flames were bursting in mid-air, he summoned the Savage Flame Giant immediately before pulling Little Myna out from the Dimensional Gap.
“Wuwuwu, master, this Little Myna still has a long way to go. If you’re gonna die then die alone in your own peace, don’t pull me in with you, the great Steel Emblem Myna Clan still needs me to ensure the continuation of our bloodline, wuwuwu…”
The myna was bawling. It thought that Grimm was trying to commit suicide and wanted to pull it along for the ride.
“Roar!”
Behind the glistening ice crystals, the two mouths at the front and back of the giant opened up to let out a howl. The gold and black colored flames intertwined to produce a huge glow. The ten-meter-tall giant covered Grimm with its body.
Thus, Grimm’s rate of being sealed by the ice slowed down slightly. He breathed out a chilling mist underneath his Mask of Truth. He became stiff as he stuttered,” Spit out the crystal core now.”
“Wawuwuwu…”
Little Myna was crying out loud. “Okay, okay, okay, crystal core, I’ll give you the crystal core, I’ll give you all my crystal cores, wuwuwu.”
In the harsh environment, even with the double-layered protection by the Savage Flame Giant and Grimm, a layer of frost emerged on top of Little Myna in an instant. The myna opened up the Dimensional Gap with its stiff body and flew right in.
Cling… cling…
In Grimm’s utter speechlessness, Little Myna pulled out pieces and pieces of crystal cores from the Dimensional Gap. Crystal cores, in their double digits and still counting, were being pulled out.
Grimm swore that he had never given Little Myna so many crystal cores, heaven knows where he had managed to find all these crystal cores!
Maybe he had collected so much before meeting him…
“Wuwuwu, master, do you really want them all? You’re not gonna leave some for me? I’ve painstakingly collected all these, wuwuwu…”
To come to think about it, Grimm recalled that the only time when Little Myna had spent on anything was on the Void Fortress when he bought a Mud Mephit.
Grimm had no more time to waste on Little Myna. He pushed all the crystal cores back into the Dimensional Gap before hastily saying, “I was talking about the crystal core in your stomach!”
“Caw?”
After picking up the pieces of crystal cores heartbrokenly, a Dimensional Gap appeared from his head.
Bluergh…
He barfed out a red-colored crystal core, which fell on the huge bone-armored palm.
“Wuwuwu… beloved master, rest in peace!”
After he said those words, he crawled back into the Dimensional Gap.
“Hmph…”
After a cold shudder, Grimm no longer had time to entertain Little Myna. There was no turning back now, he could only see things through and tear out a new path!
Thinking as such, Grimm put in all his heart into controlling the Savage Flame Giant without caring about his body which had been frozen solid.
The black and gold flames of the Savage Flame Giant were merging together furiously to resist the external ice sealing energy. It held the lava core in its hand. The Savage Flame Giant was manipulating its two different elemental flames and injecting them into the core.
One represented the power of the Dark Destroyer Infernal God, the other represented the lava energy of the lava giant.
Gradually, Grimm was in the zone. It was as if he had become the Savage Flame Giant himself.
The originally red-colored core slowly turned ashen-black, like the crystal core that was left behind by the millions of Acraepoids when they died.
Grimm would not have attempted such a risky move before he had obtained the Vulkshy’s Infernal Curse book. Even though he had successfully conjured up the infernal power, its value would be similar to the Acraepoid’s crystal core. They were of no use to the sorcerers.
Slowly, a flower that emanated the sweet scent of death, the representation of the unceasing cycle of life and death of the Infernal Spirit World appeared.
As the death-scented flower came to bloom, a blade the size of a fingernail appeared in the pistil of the flower that appeared. This meant that Grimm had perfectly melded together with the greedy flame and the lava. The way of the sword that was exclusive to each Acraepoid that practiced it was born.
Hum…
The boiling Darkness Pool of the ice flame chamber began converging towards the Savage Flame Giant.
The runic verses in the pages of Vulkshy’s Infernal Curse began to gather around the Darkness Pool before heading into the direction of the Savage Flame Giant’s Infernal Sword Death Scent crystal core.
At this moment, Grimm could see a whole new world through the eyes of the Savage Flame Giant.
In this world, darkness no longer represented the shadows. Light was a rare occurrence of the world, surrounded and suppressed by darkness.
The creatures that thrived in the darkness were creatures that were weak against light such as the creatures that were in Millie and Solumn’s whereabouts. Light could cause these creatures visible harm. But for the creatures who had a strong aversion against light, they see light as a type of poison against them!
After mastering the Darkness Pool, one could easily traverse among the darkness. He could meld into darkness, obscuring himself visually in a perfect sense. He could befriend the creatures of the dark and gain the natural protection of dark creatures.
But the Darkness Pool was not a normal law that existed in the endless world. The principal light of the endless world was the true law of the world, the Darkness Pool was just a mysterious power.
Since a creature that had surpassed the level of an Eternal Dominator had entered into a higher dimension that was indescribable in the endless world, the Darkness Pool had become one of the endless world’s mysterious powers.
An indescribable principle of a mysterious power.
“Did I make it?”
It was the last moment of consciousness of the Savage Flame Giant that was possessed by Grimm. Cling! The azure ice flame and ice crystals completely covered all signs of life that were on the altar.
