A Sorcerer’s Journey

“What are you doing here at the Holy Tower of Six Rings?”

As Mina landed before Grimm, she was greeted by Ezma and three other Level-1 Sorcerers behind him, and she looked at Grimm while being surrounded by the World Force.

After returning from the Nightmare World, Grimm had already obtained information that Mina, who was previously a Devotee, had become a World Guardian.

It had been more than two hundred years since Mina had aimed to become the Guardian of Summer from the Sorcerers World, obviously, she had now free herself from being a low-level Devotee of the Sorcerers World and completely adapted to her new identify of being a World Guardian, and she was also one of the most problematic ones in the eyes of the Sorcerers that were in the Demon-Hunting Expeditions to the Foreign Worlds.

However, she was now a Sorcerers World Guardian!

“Have you succeeded in advancing as a Level-2 Sorcerer? There is an ongoing Academy War here, between Hydra Wrath and Shadow Argus Stigmata Sorcerer, are you being hired by any of them to be here?”

Sorcerer texts from the Book of Truth were still continuously piling up on the bloody arm and forming layers on it. The Spacetime Seal was one of the seal sorceries, any seal sorcery was extremely powerful; however, its lengthy channelling time would be its deadliest weakness that would also restrict on the feasibility to perform it at anytime and anywhere.

Now that there was ample preparation time, it would definitely be viable to perform the sorcery.

Grimm moved his eyes under his Mask of Truth from the bloody arm toward Mina and noticed that she had settled with a mature behaviour after she had gone through thousands of years of being regarded as a low-level Devotee of the Sorcerers World, however, there were still noticeable energetic drive in between her speeches and gestures that she had concealed deep within.

Every encounter with her would remind Grimm of memories as a Sorcerer-Apprentice during the newcomer trials, the crazy moment of hunting down and killing Brianna, and the moment of persistence when he concurrently went against three main newcomers from the Black Isotta Sorcerer Academy that were from the same batch, Solumn, Kyrie and Brianna.

It was that domineering temperament that was about to run through her very being!

The aim of being the Guardian of Summer of the Sorcerers World suited her best.

“Mina.”

Grimm was surprised as he did not expect to see Mina here.

“That’s right, my master, Master Peranos, is now the Dean of the Hydra Wrath Sorcerer Academy, and my Grandmaster is Master Hydra Wrath, who is the first inherited Grandmaster Netherheart.”

Ezma and the other three Level-1 Sorcerers looked at each other, wondering how Grimm got to know the Guardian?

On the other end, the fog from the Foreign World began to intensify within the black swirl while there was a croaky and evil sound that emerged from the fog, as if it was excited about descending into a Foreign World soon.

However, neither Grimm, nor Mina, paid much attention to the foreign creature, on the contrary, it was Ezma and the other three Level-1 Sorcerers who were feeling uncomfortable about it.

If the discovery of a threatening Level-3 creature from the Foreign World were to occur during normal times within a normal human village town, it would require one or two deans from the sorcerer academies to lead a group of Sorcerers to join the battle.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

From afar, there were another three World Guardians of the Sorcerers World that were alarmed by the scent of the foreign creature, and they were headed in their direction at high speed, as if they were hunting dogs that had identified their prey.

Mina noticed Grimm’s Spacetime Seal and said, “Grimm, hehe, that is unnecessary, allow me to destroy and wipe out this space crack by using the World Force.”

“No!”

Grimm stopped Mina and said, “Let’s not waste this precious specimen.”

As Grimm completed his sentence, a deep clicking sound was heard from the black space swirl, it was as if there was an anchor of a giant cruise ship that had hit the rocks at the bottom of the sea, while the croaky evil laugh made its way out from the black fog.

“Shh Shh Shh Shh, Pudun, you have finally chosen to summon me by sacrificing yourself, is this the world that you are in…?

It was still unknown what the actual size of the formless creature that had appeared in the form of black fog was, and the tens of meters of fog that was swirling in the sky seemed to be only a small part of its entire body, while the body was driven by the first descending instinct to continue gushing out from the swirl.

However, after a slight moment of observing the surroundings, the creature noticed that there were four World Guardians.

“Whoa! How dare you betray the contract…”

The formless creature was unable to identify Pudun’s presence from the surroundings and its fury immediately turned into fear, and it started to do all it could to retract its body from the Sorcerers World, it seemed to be preparing for an escape.

“Huh? Void Creature?”

Mina and the other three World Guardians that came later were all astonished by the scene.

The boundless space of the Void World was equivalent to the combination of the entire Endless World, and the limitless Void World also consisted of Void Creatures and Void law that allowed the creatures to continue to devour each other!

Therefore, from the bottom layer of the Void World, every Void Worm that had evolved into a Void Creature with wisdom would never form their own community, as the Void law would allow them to roam the endless Void World to seek for targets to devour and avoid being devoured by stronger ones, while their body would also grow bigger in size.

As they would not form their own communities, they would only live to fulfil the Void law.

Until the day when the evolution of the devourer was comparable to some of the tyrannical Void Creatures of the Eternal Dominator, then mutation would take place and turn the creature into a brand new… World-Core!

These brand new World-Cores would then evolve into a world to replace another world in the Endless World that had fallen apart due to natural ageing and disappearance, or a world that had experienced overly rapid internal law that had broken the world itself.

Naturally, Grimm had also noticed that it was a Void Creature that had descended into the Sorcerers World.

“Kekekeke! Do you think you can come and go as you please? Do you think that… the Sorcerers World is a playground that is being set up for the Void World!?”

Suddenly, countless sorcerer texts that were on the bloody arm dazzled with bright lights, and with Grimm’s current completion state on the Book of Truth, he was only able to open the Forgotten World Gate to about two meters wide, perhaps it was seen as just a small opening gap.

An uncountable number of small-sized hands had appeared from the small opening gap, and they seemed to be formed by droplets of sweat that were releasing a forgotten scent of loneliness and emotionlessness; the endless number of small-sized hands held onto the black fog while they pulled and dragged it toward the Book of Truth that was held in Grimm’s left hand, and into the Void of the Forgotten World that it belonged to.

“No! You can’t do this, I am a sacrificial communicator from the Void World, you can’t do this to me! We can be friends, you will just need to sacrifice some of your Soulfire and flesh to summon my powerful descent, how… ahh…”

Regardless of the magnitude, even if it was a full force attack from any Stigmata Sorcerer from the world, it would not be deadly enough for Void Creatures that were massive in size.

A deadly weakness that a Void Creature had would be the limited amount of time it could stay within the internal Material World.

However, facing the Spacetime Seal, the size of its body did not matter.

“Forgotten Spacetime Seal of Truth!”

Grimm uttered in a spooky voice while the yells from the Void Creature could still be heard, the Forgotten World was like a lengthy strip of noodle that continuously sucked and pulled in the Void Creature that was exposed from the black swirl that had appeared in the Sorcerers World, which then forcefully towed it into the Forgotten World that was in the Book of Truth held in Grimm’s left hand.

However, the size of the Void Creature was still unknown and the black fog seemed to be endlessly appearing, as such the Spacetime Seal did not show any signs of stopping.

Therefore, Grimm had chosen to drop the idea of hunting down the Rank-3 Honor Badge Demon-Hunter—Kimraig.
