Wizard's Journey

Chapter 221 The Violent Flame Giant

Above the Shattered Stone Plaza, the capital of the Ninth Realm of the Shadow Empire.

Grimm gazed at the eight scattered spaceships, thousands of soul slave monsters, and countless scattered and busy Fallen Amonroes in the distance, knowing that this place had indeed been officially taken over by the Ming Wizard Legion.

With a barely audible sigh, the dark wizards, skilled in independent destruction and survival, were indeed much weaker than the organized legions of light wizards, and their role was relatively limited.

At least... that's certainly the case for a weak individual demon hunter like Green at this moment.

Five hourglasses later.

Green transformed into a streak of light, circled once above the gravel plaza, and then flew away into the distance.

Just now, after contacting a high-ranking wizard in the capital of the Ninth Realm of the Shadow Empire and officially handing over the mission, Green was informed that the Shadow Empire had dark wizards offering high bounties for demon hunting missions to wipe out the Amonro guerrilla forces on the Shadow Continent.

At this moment, Green flew towards the Shadow Capital. However, Green did not intend to continue the demon-hunting mission. Instead, he planned to devote himself to studying the basic knowledge of chimeras. Even if it was just an experimental chimera without the ability to advance, it could still provide Green with considerable assistance at this stage.

Perhaps Amonro's "non-resistance policy" made Green feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Faintly...

Green felt that the surface of this world seemed to have been thoroughly analyzed by the witchers, who appeared to have victory in their grasp. But in reality, it was like looking at a mystery shrouded in a thick fog, trying to see through the mist. This unknown world, long ruled by the enigmatic Amonro, seemed to be secretly brewing a terrifying and earth-shattering storm.

This feeling, though without any basis, seems to exist in the heart of every low-level wizard.

In contrast, high-level wizards, due to their increased strength, place more faith in what they see and what they truly perceive, accepting only the long-established, systematic norms without any sense of unease.

In that case, from the perspective of a high-level wizard, this is the ignorance that arises from the inability of lower life forms to control themselves and the course of the world.

……

Three months later.

Because he didn't have the high-speed mechanical bee he used to travel to the Ninth Realm, even though Grimm traveled at full speed, it still took him more than three months to travel from the Ninth Realm of the Shadow Empire across a large area of ​​Shadow Lands and the Crimson Sun World to the Shadow Capital, which is also the location of the Shadow Mystery, the origin space fortress of the Wizarding World.

As he traversed through the constant interplay of sunlight and shadow, Green gradually gained a comparative understanding of the surface-level manifestation rules of the Shadow Mystery World and the Wizarding World.

Although so far, the Shadow Mysteries and the Wizarding World that Green has witnessed are only small parts of their respective worlds.

The rules of the Shadow Mystery world seem to lack the softness and roundness of the Wizarding World, and are not the interlocking chain-like structure of the Wizarding World's most basic rules.

The lack of "softness and smoothness" refers to the fact that the shadowy lands and the sunlit world of this world have no transitional layers and are vastly different.

As a result, it is incredibly difficult for creatures from the Sunlit World or the Shadowlands of the Shadow Mystery to adapt to the rules of another place.

In contrast, the wizarding world, with its similar land and sea layout, features numerous shallows, bays, and rivers...

Not to mention that wizards have long adapted to the rules of both places, many primitive creatures have also long adapted to amphibious life.

The rules of the wizarding world are like interlocking chains, which allows it to form a self-contained system, with the alternation of the sun and moon and the cycle of the seasons.

If we were to use a vivid metaphor, the rules of the Shadow Mystery world are like a series of twisted ropes, which can only be released and never retrieved, thus preventing the formation of a cycle.

Thus, the sky above the Shadow Enigma world has a setting sun, and certain special energies are abundant, such as fire crystals and mysterious enigmatic power, but they are constantly consuming the world's core essence.

One day, this world will perish.

Flying at high speed, Green did not head to the Shadow Capital or the Origin Space Fortress, but instead flew directly to his cave laboratory.

Upon entering the Zhangma Tree Cave, one after another, the lowly and degenerate Amonro bowed to Green, but Green completely ignored them and headed straight for his laboratory.

After more than twenty years of "breeding and raising," which is only the time it takes for a high-level life form like a witch hunter to complete a few missions, the low-level Amonro living in this shadowy land has already begun to reproduce the second generation.

The second generation of Amonroes was even more corrupted than the first.

It can be said that the Shadow Realm where the Shadow Capital is located is the most secure rear area that the Demon Hunter Wizard has built over the past twenty years, and it is also a thorn in the side and a rotten part of the flesh of the native Amonro of this world.

If this situation continues for another thirty or fifty years, unless all the Amonro here are killed, the corrupted Amonro here will become the most loyal henchmen of the witchers in the world of Shadow Mystery.

Return to the underground lake.

Everything here is exactly the same as when Green left ten years ago; for the ancient Crystal Turtle, it's just another short nap.

In some respects, although crystal turtles possess the longevity characteristics of more advanced life forms, they are unable to fully utilize these characteristics due to the limitations of their activity range, and can only remain confined to this small patch of lake.

Thus, in essence, this crystal turtle's life level is at most that of a "stretched and shrunken" wizard apprentice in the wizarding world.

"Owner."

The crystal turtle opened its eyes, poked its head out of its shell, and respectfully greeted Green.

Grimm, with his eyes hidden beneath the mask of truth, didn't even glance at the crystal turtle. To Grimm now, the existence of this soul slave was no longer relevant. He lightly stepped on the lake surface, causing ripples to spread, and walked towards the cave laboratory.

On the contrary, the myna bird was incredibly bored along the way. Now that it had suitable subordinates to command and bully, how could it not be satisfied?

"Giggle, little turtle, your Eighth Grandpa's back..."

The myna bird picked up a fleshy fruit and threw it into the distance, shouting arrogantly, "Go and fetch it back for your Eighth Master, hurry up!"

Helpless, the crystal turtle could only slowly glide across the lake and pick up the fleshy fruit...

With a wave of his hand, magic surged, and the magic circle at the entrance of the laboratory opened. After casually scanning the area, Grimm went straight to the center of the laboratory, silently chanting a witchcraft incantation. A black and gold flame appeared out of thin air, and in the blink of an eye, a five-meter-tall giant of greed flames appeared in the laboratory.

Roar!

With a roar, the giant of greed and flames caused the crystal turtle's water elemental body, which was being controlled by Xiao Ba, to vanish with a bang, turning into a point of crystalline light, its soul filled with disbelief.

"This...this...this is the true aura of an ancient, primordial lava giant! Impossible, this is impossible, how could a lava giant leave the Dead Zone? Impossible, impossible..."

In the cave laboratory, Grimm gazed at the giant of greed, now completely composed of strange black and gold flames, and a sense of joy welled up within him.

Several years ago, this Fiery Giant had already completed its mutation and evolution, but due to a lack of detailed research and the fact that Grimm's missions rarely involved armed conflict, it has not yet had the opportunity to appear.

Now that he's back in the lab, Green's first task is to take a good look at the mutated Greedy Flame Giant.

The innate ability to devour hatred and souls remains unchanged.

The original black flame's soul-weakening attack, now infused with golden flame, has seen a significant and noticeable increase in flame energy temperature, and possesses an astonishing... absorption capacity for fire-attribute energy?

Resistance and absorption capacity are two completely different things!

Green was startled, his eyes wide with disbelief. That lava crystal core was definitely not an ordinary lava crystal core; it must have some kind of backstory.

Ok?

Is this the Lava Refining Talent?

At that moment, the Greedy Flame Giant let out a low roar, and under the astonishing temperature, the laboratory ground beneath its feet began to soften, then transformed into a layer of magma armor and a lava giant sword.

The intense heat radiated relentlessly, burning with a crimson hue. Even with Green's high fire resistance, he felt as if he were being baked.

thump...

Suddenly, a powerful heartbeat erupted within the Greedy Flame Giant's body, and the rules of fire elemental energy within the underground space suddenly became chaotic.

Flame Domain Talent!

Beneath the greyish-white mask of truth, Grimm's gaze burned as he scrutinized the Gluttonous Flame Giant before him, muttering excitedly, "Having undergone this mutation, it has changed so much. The old name 'Gluttonous Flame Giant' is no longer appropriate. From now on, it will be renamed 'Wrathful Flame Giant'."
