However, at this moment, Brown and Lucia have completely put life and death aside, and are still asking and answering questions in this simple and small 'safe house', immersed in the joy of knowledge inheritance and acquisition.

Maybe this world will be destroyed in the next second, maybe the two of them will be wiped out in the next second, but at this moment, they are still persisting and practicing their little simple and stubborn ideas and beliefs......

This is the belief they made from the first day they were exposed to arcane knowledge, and they are willing to give everything for it, even their own lives.

This may be the fundamental reason why the Arcane Empire has been able to rise rapidly in just over 10,000 years and become an impressively powerful force in the multiverse!

Hearing Brown's explanation, the longing and anticipation in Lucia's eyes grew stronger.

However, just as she opened her mouth to ask some more questions, there was an earth-shattering bang, and the arcane barrier in the Hall of Knowledge could no longer withstand the scorching heat of the terrifying flames, and exploded into a cloud of fire and fireworks.

Waves of heat and fireless skyfire poured into the hall in an instant.

Lucia felt as if she had been thrown into a lava volcano, and the churning air was filled with terrifying heat. And her clothes, long hair, skin, as well as the blood and bones in her body all quickly dried up and withered under the terrifying high temperature, and there was a tendency to turn ash instantly.

And she turned her head as best she could, looking somewhere outside the hall.

There, an extremely large flame giant stood tall and strode across the Hall of Knowledge.

What a towering flaming giant!

Looking at the flaming body, you can see the cheerful flying figure of the flame spirit everywhere, and you can feel the burning sensation brought by the high temperature flame flow everywhere...... The other party's tall and towering body was projecting endless light and heat, and just the gaze on the flame giant had already blinded Lucia's eyes, and her entire body began to melt like a baked candle.

Not only her, but even Brown, who had the strength of the 2nd ring, could not withstand the majestic divine power of the flame giant at close range, and the clothes on his body were ignited first, and then large blisters began to float on his face, hands, and skin on his body, and the whole person fell into a state of extreme pain.

If he was an ordinary person, perhaps the moment the Burning Realm was covered, he would have been wiped out. And it was the strength of his 2-ring arcanist that allowed him to struggle in the Burning Realm for more than a dozen fingers, and it also made him suffer a lot for this.

However, even in this painful situation, Brown did not defend himself, but instead injected all of his arcane power into the arcane barrier outside Lucia's body. And he himself was quickly incinerated to ashes in the burst of flames that burst into the sky, and turned into a terrible charred corpse.

It's just that the power of a 2-ring arcanist, even with all his strength, is unlikely to survive in Grim's Burning Domain. Therefore, Lucia, whom Brown protected at the cost of her own death, did not live a few seconds longer than him, and as the power on the arcane barrier was rapidly consumed, Lucia also followed the other party's pace and began to quickly walk into death.

"Power...... So that's what power is called!" Lucia's eyes burned into hollows, and she muttered to herself as she stared blankly at the flame giant.

The moment the arcane barrier was burned through, her body also instantly turned to ashes, and even her soul began to dissolve little by little under the strange flames.

And at the last moment when her soul was about to perish, a high-pitched and unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded in the depths of her soul.

"Hmm, what a pure soul......"

With that, a strange hole seemed to suddenly open up in the depths of the flames, and Lucia's soul body was involuntarily absorbed, submerged into the black hole, and no longer had any sense.

Grim checked the dark orb in his hand, and felt that the weak soul was standing in it, so he nodded with satisfaction and put the orb away again.

It was a very strange moment just now, but after killing the two little guys casually, the chip unexpectedly sensed the projection aura of plane consciousness on one of the guys. And that guy was the weaker of the two, probably just an arcane apprentice.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for such a guy to attract the attention of the plane consciousness, but just now, at the moment when Grim waved his hand and incinerated them to ashes, the chip really felt the slight fluctuation of the plane consciousness.

It's a singular feeling that's hard to put into words!

It's like the plane consciousness of the Morian plane has been silently watching this weak arcane apprentice, so when Grim inadvertently kills it, it also attracts the deep hatred and malice of the plane consciousness.

So, out of curiosity, Grim had a thought and used the strange shadow power of the 5th Order Dark Orb to involve this weak soul and lock it there.

And after doing all this, Grim shook his body, slowly retreated from the form of the flame giant, and regained his human body.

His battle with the lich Conganus was inconclusive.

When a terrible battle broke out between the Evil Hoof and the 5-Ring Arcanist in the Arcane Hall in the center of the Floating City, the lich Conganus finally gave up the battle with Grim, turned around and rushed towards the distant battlefield with the Rank 4 Ice Ghost roaring.

Looking at its meaning, it seems that it wants the snipe and the clam to compete with the fisherman for profit, and rush to find a bargain.

Although Grim was not afraid of this lich, considering his own strength, he still chose to search for some loot on the periphery. As for the Mangers and Qiu Lisha, they had obviously suffered a lot of injuries in the battle with the ice ghosts, so they had to find another place to heal.

Therefore, Grim simply stayed in this arcane academy and walked around it at will.

After passing through several corridors that had collapsed nearly halfway, and turning corners, at the end of a corridor, Grim suddenly found a black wooden door with faint elemental fluctuations.

Grim pushed with his hand, but didn't move.

A strange bronze face protruded above the black wooden door, and with a flash of yellow light, this bronze face slowly opened its eyes.

"Secret Words...... Whispers...... This is the secret library of the Arcane Academy in Dorndale, and no outsiders are allowed to visit it. To enter, please speak the secret language!"

Listening to the other party's almost mechanical strange voice, Grim's impatient eyes sharpened, and a golden flame swept out, burning a large hole in the black wooden door that was large enough for him to walk through.

It's just a small arcane secret door, how can it be able to block the intrusion of a fourth-order powerhouse.

"Drop, a strange alarm message has been detected......" the chip quickly responded.

Obviously, Grim's forcible intrusion had triggered the library's defenses, and under normal circumstances, a large number of Arcanists would soon be armed to surround Grim.

It's a pity that at this moment, the entire Floating City has become a mess.

Even the Arcane Temple in the Central District had been attacked by the Evil Hoof, and how could those Arcanists with some strength come to this remote place to find trouble with Grim.

So, Grim ignored the warning information, stepped into it, and silently looked around inside.

It was an extremely large and bright library, and everywhere you could see rows of golden shelves filled with books, densely packed with generous books with a faint arcane aura. Looking at the exquisite cover decoration, looking at the looming arcane aura, it is obvious that they are not ordinary goods.

Seeing everything here, Grim couldn't help frowning slightly.

Forbid...... Too many prohibitions!

Obviously, in order to prevent someone from overstepping their authority to flip through the books, all the arcane books have been blocked, and they are under the protection of independent and powerful arcane runes.

Although the entire floating city has lost the support of arcane energy, the runes are still intact, and it seems that there must be a small elemental pool underneath this library to support its operation.

Grim wasn't interested in destroying that elemental pool again.

He slowly browsed along the rows of bookshelves, and once he became interested in an arcane tome, two red lines of fire were projected in his eyes, and he eroded the arcane rune array alive, and then reached out and grabbed the book in his hand and stuffed it into the Elder's Ring.

Due to the tight schedule, Grim didn't have that much time to slowly unlock each arcane rune, so he had to do it in the most clumsy way possible.

Of course, if Grim didn't care about the book damage, a firestorm would throw it out, and most of the arcane runes would be burned through. But in that case, I'm afraid that many arcane books will not be able to be preserved completely.

Listening to the tsunami-like elemental explosion of the mountains outside, coupled with the violent vibrations that come from time to time, one can imagine how chaotic and tormented the floating city is at this time.

Grim, on the other hand, gave up everything completely, and began to concentrate on collecting and scavenging the arcane tomes here.

Unlike Grim's laid-back and relaxed, in another place not far away, two strange figures followed the trace of fire in the air to the Arcane Academy, and then came to the hall of knowledge that had completely collapsed and melted.

The place where the hall used to be had turned into a terrible lava pool, all the stone walls, stone pillars, and rubble had disappeared, and only patches of fluid magma could be seen bubbling with terrible heat.

"I already feel the bastard's breath, in a secret room not far behind. Let's go, let's go kill him!" spoke a strange black shadow walking ahead.

Even though the sky was full of light at this time, the light shone on this strange black shadow, and it was still difficult to see her face and body. It was only vaguely known that she was a woman, and that she was an unusually powerful woman.

The guy who followed closely behind him looked frustrated and angry, but he was obviously helpless against the former.

"You're talking, aren't you? I'll help you kill Grim, and you'll set me free?"

At this time, he was wearing the silver witch robe, but on his exposed forehead was imprinted with a strange black rune, exuding a strange magic fluctuation all the time.

"Hehe, you've got a dark seed implanted in you, and ordinary sorcery can't get rid of it at all. So, as long as you obediently help me kill that Grim, I swear in the name of the source of darkness that I will remove the dark prohibition from you. "That black figure is naturally the resurrected dark witch Shani.

Although she was resurrected and her strength returned to the 4th level, all her sorcery equipment was lost in the hands of Grim. Therefore, she could only try her best to find some helpers for herself to deal with that hateful fire witch, otherwise, she alone would not have the confidence to kill that Grim again.
