Chapter 0977: Volcanic Confrontation

In less than a quarter of an hour, the two wizards chased them to the vicinity of the volcano.

Looking at the scene of billowing gray smoke and heat waves, their faces couldn't help but become ugly.

The other party is a well-known legendary fire witch, although the name is not well-known outside the territory, but as a hunter among wizards, they will not make the mistake of taking the enemy lightly. That sword Ji Katie is also a well-known third-order powerhouse, but because of his momentary negligence and arrogance, he actually fell into the hands of the natives.

If it weren't for the Serpent Wizard Natagou who came forward in time to reach an agreement with that Rank 4 Holy Knight, I'm afraid that Katie would have died in this desolate and lowly plane.

It is clearly stated in the agreement that the three wizard hunters will not only not invade the Envik plane, but will even help the paladins fight the deceitful witch behind their backs. Of course, in exchange, the paladin's camp must also facilitate and help them hunt down this Grim.

It was with this agreement that the Rank 4 Holy Knight would let go of Katie, the sword queen, and with the help of the three wizard hunters, he managed to rush from Hakanth City to Haysas City.

After catching the traces of the fire witch in Haysas City, the three wizard hunters naturally did not let go of this great opportunity, and followed all the way to this terrifying active volcano.

Fighting a fire witch in such a region is a headache for a wizard!

The restraint of the environment is simply incomprehensible, one is not good, and it is not a strange thing for the two of them to be planted here.

However, the serpent wizard Natagu and the psychic sorcerer Beneda are not good people. Since the volcano is so dangerous, it is unpredictable to attack it, so it is better not to attack it.

The two of them actually pitched a tent near the crater and opened a small camp, posing as if they had been squatting for a long time. And this one hit Grim's soft underbelly.

A few of them can afford it, but Grim can't afford it.

No, to be precise, it's the cheat witches who can't afford it!

If the repair materials of the witch circle could not be delivered in time, it was expected that the witch tower would be forcibly toppled by the indigenous paladins when the backup was cut off.

It stands to reason that Grim can't help the witches with his life in the matter of cheating witches. However, if he loses the cross-dimensional teleportation array, it will be difficult for Grim to return to the wizarding world. And the three wizard hunters obviously had no worries about that.

After two days of confrontation near the crater, the poisonous woman Gwynaville also hurried in.

This also made the pressure on Grim even heavier.

Originally, the plague poison spirit Remy also planned to rush over to join Grim, but considering that the special environment here in the volcano was not suitable for Remmy's strength, he was politely rejected by Grim.

Just as Grim was hesitating whether to continue to hold on here, or to risk breaking out of the siege, the injured sword Ji Katie also rushed over.

The sword Ji Katie was hit hard in the hands of Grim and the 4th Order Holy Knight one after another, the stumps were broken, and the mechanical sorcery was broken, which was simply miserable and indescribable. Such a serious injury can only be truly healed by returning to the wizarding world or outside the territory, and only superficial injuries can be healed here reluctantly.

The severed limbs were all taken back, and the broken mechanical heart could barely function, so the angry Knife Ji Katie simply rushed to the volcano camp and joined the encirclement and suppression of the fire witch.

With her injuries, the original strength of the 3rd order intermediate level is now barely maintained at the 3rd order primary level, and she can still act as a secondary attacker.

And her joining also completely extinguished Grim's desire to flee.

Guarding the volcano, he may still be able to have more than one enemy, but if he is forced out of the volcano by the enemy, each of those witch hunters can handle it. As for that Rena Witch and those witch array repair materials, compared to his life, they are no longer important.

For the first time in his life, Grim was forced into danger, and he couldn't come up with any way to solve his predicament!

Grim has rushed out of the crater countless times, with his back to the lava pool, fighting the four wizard hunters in a frenzied battle. Unfortunately, it was impossible to defeat or kill any of them, except to make the entire volcanic area unsightly.

Every time Grim rushes out, his main opponent is the serpent wizard Natagu.

The opponent's fighting method is also very simple, that is, to transform into a terrifying giant snake with a body length of more than twenty meters and covered with purple and black snake scales. And this giant snake naturally also has the long life force unique to snake creatures, as well as a terrifying sonic attack.

This kind of sonic attack is also considered a relatively unpopular sorcery in the sorcery system, so there are relatively few defensive sorcery that can be restrained. Sonic attacks are also known for their ability to break through defenses, and even the sturdy shell of an elemental weapon cannot fully defend against it.

Therefore, the Serpent Wizard Natagou alone was enough to contain both Grim and the Elemental Magic. The other two witches, one good at poisoning and the other good at psychic illusion, have a great influence on Grim in the heat of battle.

And once Grim reveals a flaw in the battle, Katie, the sword girl who is looking for the gap, will fiercely cut directly to him, breaking through Grim's defenses with the fiercest attack. Even many times, Katie is not stingy in fighting with Grim in exchange for injuries.

And this especially hurts Grim!

If it weren't for the existence of the Holy Ring of Soden, it can be said that Grim would never have been lucky under such a terrible attack.

…………

In a hidden crypt beneath the lava pool, Grim slowly opened his eyes.

The entire crypt is only more than 20 square meters, and there are no other items and furnishings except for a simple stone bed. The rock walls around the entrance were inlaid with miniature flame runes, rippling with misty firelight, blocking the thick and heavy billowing magma fluid outside the cave.

At this time, the elemental magic weapon was motionless in front of the cave entrance, projecting multi-frequency ray light waves from the compound eyes of the skull, firmly monitoring the movement in the nearby lava sea. It wasn't until Grim woke up from his sleep that the elemental weapon retreated to the side of the cave and returned to its normal alert state.

The first thing Grim did when he woke up was to have a quick conversation with the chip.

He'd planted a dense array of flame traps near the crater lava pool, which would have triggered Grim's setup if the Wizard Hunters tried to sneak in. At that time, it was the time for him to hunt the other party in turn!

But it's a pity, I don't know if it was taken by Grim's prestige, or if they were too cautious. No matter how many flaws Grim revealed, they were not willing to take half a step into this pool of lava fire.

This makes most of Grim's layout useless.

In addition to the fixed flame traps, the lava fire pool is also filled with strange fire creatures of various forms and species. When they set foot here from the fire elemental plane, they were strongly restrained by Grim, and became his eyeliner and minions on the periphery.

It's a pity that the most powerful of these fire creatures is only the peak of the first order, and it's okay to be cannon fodder, and it's simply wishful thinking to rely on them to drive away those wizard hunters.

Hmph, since those wizard hunters don't dare to come in and trouble me, then I'll go for your trouble......

After a deep sleep to erase the wounds and fatigue left behind from the last great battle, Grim rushed out of the pool of lava fire with his elemental weapons and hordes of fire creatures.

At this time, at the crater, only the psychic Beniga was on duty.

Just as she was bored and perceiving the movement near the crater with her mental ripples, the magma fluid that had been flowing and surging quietly suddenly tumbled and boiled. Then, a huge wave of flame energy rose from the bottom of the lava pool and rushed out towards the top of the crater.

Not again!

Beneda stretched out her tender white hand to cover her delicate red lips, yawned slightly, and stretched her waist, only then did she extend her spiritual power to this huge flame energy. Before the other party could rush out of the pool of lava and fire, she had already detected the number and level of enemies with her powerful psychic ability.

"Hey, you guys hurry up, that fire witch looks like he's going to come out again to find trouble!"

As Benija's whispers echoed through the makeshift camp, the three wizard hunters emerged from their tents, rubbed their sleepy-eyed eyes, cursed, and soared to the crater.

As soon as they arrived at the crater, Grim and a group of his men rushed out of the lava fire pool and appeared in the crater.

"Why, boy, didn't you learn a lesson from that 'kiss of death' last time, and you dared to run out today......" The serpent wizard Natagu sneered, his gaze falling on Grim's left hand through the thick red light.

There, at the edge of the palm, two deep tooth marks were still clearly visible, the surrounding flesh and skin had turned black, and a faint smell of bitter tea could be smelled.

This was a killer move that Natagou had left for Grim during the last great battle, and during the melee fight, he suddenly unleashed a terrifying 'Kiss of Death', splitting out of his body and attacking the opponent with a serpentine phantom that defied defenses. If the other party didn't notice, this snake-like phantom could even burrow into the other party's body and directly gnaw at its soul origin.

Fortunately, Grim had a chip reminder and blocked his chest with his palm in time, which prevented the opponent's penetrating blow. However, for this reason, Grim is also infected with the terrible venom of the giant snake, and has to sleep to melt the other's witchcraft venom.

At this time, the other party brought up the old matter again, Grim's face first turned sharp, and then he sneered predictably: "Just venom can't kill me, but I didn't eat a barbecue giant snake last time, and I'm still a little unwilling." What do you say, Lord Natagu!"

At this time, Natagou was wearing a purple robe, and obvious burns could be seen on his exposed skin.

With his third-order bloodline wizard's physique, he still couldn't completely erase these external injuries, which was enough to show how badly the burns he had suffered in the last battle.

The two sides stared at each other fiercely while exposing each other's shortcomings, and the atmosphere in the venue was solemn again!
