Chapter 1384: Grim's Growth
Just when the major families were in a hurry and exhausted for the invasion of the other world, an even more worrying thing appeared.
According to the information fed back from various monitoring points, the monsters in the depths of the Black Forest are rapidly gathering and converging, and there is a tendency to break out of the Black Forest in the short term.
And this is not the action of individual monster lords alone, it seems to be a spontaneous and self-conscious large-scale rebellion in the entire Black Forest. The magical energy that poured into the plane during the tide of magic was chaotic and tyrannical, and these monsters were all brutal and ferocious.
It is conceivable that such terrifying monsters gather together, and then envelop an even larger number of beasts. Once out of the Black Forest, the impact on human society will be huge!
If it is not dealt with properly, I am afraid that the foundation of the entire wizarding civilization will be shaken by this.
Moreover, the riot of the beast herd is not an isolated incident in one or two regions, but a fierce counterattack in the entire wizarding world of the Black Forest.
For tens of thousands of years, wizards have suppressed and killed monster lords and kings too freely. Now with the help of the Demon Tide, it's time for the Demon Lords to take revenge and regain the dominance of the plane!
I have to say that the wizards have been too lazy all these years, and they haven't cleaned up the high-level monsters in the depths of the Black Forest for a long time. As a result, outside of their perception, a new group of monster lords grew up and were eager to advance to the rank of monster kings who ruled the entire Black Forest.
And if the monster lord wants to be promoted to the king, launching a counterattack against the wizard group is the most direct and easiest way for them to make contributions!
Among their target choices, the Wizarding Guild is too powerful to touch......
The Silver Alliance puppet legion is too strong to touch......
Although the Northland witches are a little weaker, they are unusually grouped together when they are unanimous with the outside world, and they are not easy to touch......
As a result, the scattered middle of the continent has become the only target and object for the monster lords in the depths of the Black Forest to sharpen their minions!
Although the three major wizarding organizations also broke out quite a beast tide, compared to the middle of the continent, it was a small thing, several orders of magnitude worse.
The information from the investigation of some wizard families risking their lives shows that the scale of the outbreak of the Black Forest Demon Tide is even greater than in the past, and the number of monster lords gathered is also very staggering. Once they have gathered enough of them to break out of the Black Forest, the impact on human society in the middle of the continent is likely to be devastating!
As soon as such information appeared, it immediately attracted the attention of all wizarding families, and it also made them panic even more.
Stopping the beast tide is not as easy as blocking the invaders of the other world.
There are so many gaps in the plane barriers, as long as the entrance and exit are blocked, break in and kill one by one, although the work is arduous, the result is fruitful. And the whole central part is, to put it mildly, completely enveloped and besieged by the Black Forest. Trying to determine the direction of the beast tide's attack is a fool's dream, don't even think about it.
Of course, wizards can also use astrologers and soothsayers to gain insight into the movements of monsters. However, after a long period of constant struggle with wizards, the monsters have also formed their own unique methods of concealment and confusion.
According to legend, the Black Forest Monster Lords also specially cultivated a 'Raven Emperor' with prophetic abilities, which was used to suppress the prophecy and astrology of wizards.
Therefore, since the wizards did not detect the movements of the monster lords in advance, it was even more difficult to wait until they gathered into a group before trying to 'decapitate'.
Since it was impossible to eliminate the impact of the beast tide in advance, then the middle of the continent could only passively wait for the moment when the beast herd rushed out of the Black Forest. All the central regions, especially those bordering the Black Forest, are even more nervous and even panicked.
Those areas where the 4th-order forces are entrenched are not bad, at least one strong person is in charge, and the psychological aspect is still stable. And those regions that do not have a fourth-order force, but only a combination of small and medium-sized forces, can only try to shrink the scope of defense, and only think about keeping the core area of their own family.
As a result, in the areas they abandoned, there was a panicked wave of refugees in the human kingdom.
No one wanted to stay there and wait to be devoured by the herds, and civilians fled their homes with their families and flocked to the safer 'hinterland' regions.
For a time, people in the middle of the mainland were panicked, and chickens flew and dogs jumped!
…………
Throne of Fire.
Grim was soaked in a huge wooden barrel taller than him, filled with a foul-smelling blue liquid.
There is no need for a flame to heat up, and Grim himself is a humanoid stove.
Grim's body was dark red and shiny, and through the translucent skin, the hot red blood could be faintly seen flowing beneath. It is said that it is blood, but in fact, it is no different from tumbling and boiling magma.
Under the scorching of his burning field, the blue liquor in the barrel gradually boiled as the temperature increased. The sticky, dense blue potion roared and vibrated like a liquid monster, swelling from time to time with clear bubbles.
Grim's entire body was already soaked in the blue liquid, and his pores opened and closed suddenly, absorbing the strange medicines evaporated from the blue liquid, and releasing the energy toxins and life heaviness accumulated in his body.
After soaking for 5 hours, until the blue liquid had completely turned into black water, Grim crawled out of it with great difficulty.
However, what was amazing was that from such a sticky and heavy liquid, Grim's smooth lines, dark red and tough body were not stained with any water stains or filth.
As he stood silently in the room, a male, demonic, weird, and powerful male body was revealed!
"Chip, check yourself!"
"Drop, the task has been accepted...... Self-test start ......"
With a slight mechanical sound, a cascade of dense information cascades down from the tip of the retina and piles up beneath the horizon, forming a three-dimensional mannequin.
On the side of the model, the list of brushes lists Grim's current body information.
"Grim, male, 4th Tier Semi-regular Wizard (Flame Mastery), Star Beast Bloodline (97%), Chaos Constitution (Zhuo Wei Magic Resistance), Heart of Rules (Fire Law 89%), Body Base Data: Strength 21 Constitution 15+2 Agility 16 Spirit 46+5, Bloodline Talent: Energy Black Hole, Fire Rule (Undying Flame) ......"
Looking at the current data, Grim couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
Compared to before, his strength has dropped by 6, his constitution has dropped by 16, and his agility has dropped by 3......
Although he won a great victory in the battle of Gravel Canyon, defeating Monash Gaia, the patriarch of the Golden Clan, and Sevoris, the superpower of the Guild, that battle was only a pyrrhic victory in the end.
The heavy combat losses caused him to lose his physique, and even his strength and agility also fell.
However, there are losses and gains, and the continuous battle has also increased Grim's mental power by 2 points, from 44 to 46. Although it was only a 2-point gap, it also benefited him a lot, and his mental state was unprecedentedly good.
Now that he has officially become a 4th order senior, he has jumped up a small rank again, and he is one step closer to the real peak!
Under the double amplification of the Fire God Bead and the Book of Darkness, any increase in the strength of his body was reflected in the skyrocketing of several times or ten times in terms of combat power. And with the tempering of these battles, he also vaguely realized his future development direction.
The analysis of the Star Beast's bloodline reached 97%, and as long as he was one step away, he could truly have his own bloodline transformation ability. As for the chaotic physique, it was just an external racial characteristic of the Star Beast's bloodline, and it was not an individual ability of his.
As for the reason why the Star Beast bloodline was able to unlock to its current state, it was completely related to the fish-like Star Beast that Mary sent back a few days ago.
Grim soaked himself in the blood of star beasts and the medicinal liquid formed by special witch potions every day, and cultivated by refining the body of the wizard's medicine, and sure enough, his physique recovered by 1 point. And the biggest effect is the body's comprehension and fusion of the bloodline of the star beast.
In the past, Grim relied on all fire sorcery abilities when he fought, and the star beast bloodline barely exerted its due power. The reason why this is the case is that he has not found the right route and way for the growth of the bloodline.
And on the way to the bloodline, he is just a toddler who has just started!
said that he had the bloodline of the star beast, except for the two insignificant racial abilities of the chaotic constitution and the energy black hole, he did not even present the most basic bloodline characteristics.
How could this match his current Rank 4 high-level status!
However, the wreckage of the alien beast that Mary accidentally sent sent sent by Mary allowed Grim to find a way to improve his bloodline.
Engulf...... Engulf...... Engulf......
The most typical characteristic of the Star Beast is that it is constantly devouring, devouring higher beings, devouring intelligent lifeforms, devouring a large number of souls, and devouring the origin of the plane......
These things are the source of the growth and evolution of the Star Beasts, and they are also the source of their strength.
Since Grim has chosen the Star Beast bloodline for himself, he can only follow the ancient growth method of the Star Beasts to develop and grow his bloodline.
However, as an intelligent life with principles and a bottom line, devouring other intelligent races will undoubtedly bring serious psychological shadows to Grim. Therefore, he did not hesitate to choose to devour other star beasts.
The star beasts looked strange one by one, they were simply monsters among monsters, and devouring them Grim did not have any psychological burden.
Of course, what Grim really devoured was not the flesh and blood of the star beasts, but the unique and strange genes in their bodies. Using the power of the chip, Grim can peel off the genetic fragments that are beneficial to him from the bodies of different star beasts, and then integrate them into himself in the form of genetic puzzles.
It's just that, with his current situation, I'm afraid that only those Star Beasts of the 4th order or above can bring him corresponding benefits. And none of these guys are good at it, and they are all terrible demons who slaughter a plane at every turn in the outside world.
So if you want to feed on them, Grim will have to put a lot of effort into it!
