Chapter 1347: Soul Collision
Although the Nightmare Castle has been revived, it has no hands or feet, and no sharp claws, so all the work of cleaning up foreign enemies can only be left to this group of nightmare creatures under its control.
Essentially, Nightmare creatures are supposed to be just a group of spirits that appear in the Nightmare Realm through soul projection.
However, since the Kthling Blood Rite devoured all the Entom wizards, it has transformed from a mere alchemical life into another monster with flesh and blood creatures.
That is to say, it also has life and soul, and has everything that an intelligent life should have!
The only problem now is that the Kathlin ascension relies on blood sacrifice methods, and the soul origin is full of killing and tyrannical aura. Once awakened from a deep slumber, it is likely to mutate into some kind of terrible forbidden life.
Once such a guy can't control it, it will be a catastrophe for the entire central part of the country to make trouble in Tallinn. But if it can be controlled, it is an excellent witchcraft slave for any wizarding organization or force.
After all, it is rare in the world for a sorcery slave with a development potential up to the 6th order, and there are even fewer that can be used by wizards!
If nothing else, if Mary can successfully control the soul core of Kathlin, then the combination of Mary + Xelin is definitely not inferior to that Lich Congnus. Of course, this refers to the Lich before obtaining the Winter Box, not the extremely powerful Ice Lich now.
Ever since obtaining the Winter's Box, the Lich Congurnus has been hiding in his skeletal plane and has never shown his head. Even if Grim invited it, it would only send some Tier 4 subordinates out to deal with the situation.
If Grim hadn't used the Grim Reaper's Graveyard to bring it out for a while, I'm afraid it would be difficult to see its true figure for hundreds of years.
According to Chipset's observations, the Lich Conganus fused with the Winter's Box very smoothly. At this time, it had also reached the peak of the 4th order, and it had the strength of a super powerhouse. Moreover, the power of ice it absorbed was perfectly fused with its own death power, condensing an extremely unique death freeze aura.
During combat, it can even extend this death freeze in the form of an aura blessing to its undead minions, adding another magical effect to their physical attacks - soul freeze.
Think of the army of the undead that fill the entire plane, and think of the ability to freeze their souls, and every time an attack falls on an enemy, it freezes their souls and freezes their minds, allowing them to attack casually and unable to fight back......
Such a powerful and terrifying ability is only the result of the initial fusion of the other party. Once given hundreds of years to completely fuse the Winter Box into the Soul Origin, Congnus will immediately be able to leap to the 5th level, becoming the first Ice Lich in the Multiverse to possess Death Freeze.
Everyone is silently advancing or strengthening, and Grim naturally does not dare to slack off. Even if he has firmly occupied the dominant position in the middle of the continent now, he still does not miss any opportunity and challenge that can enhance his strength.
Compared to Grim's smooth sailing, Mary's future is much more troublesome.
A vampire wizard like her has a bloodline of success and a bloodline of defeat.
Everything they have is due to the bloodline, and the speed of the early promotion is like a hanging, which can be called a demon. However, once you lose your bloodline or touch the shackles of your bloodline, it means that the road ahead is cut off, and it will be difficult for you to move forward half a step forward for the rest of your life.
For bloodline wizards, in their lives, if there is no big opportunity and no bloody storm, they don't want to break the shackles of bloodline and leap to a real high-level life.
Mary's talent potential is good, but it's just 'good'!
Compared to those wizarding geniuses and talented guys, Mary's vampire talent is simply low. Along the way, if it weren't for the nourishment of a large amount of dragon blood from the Lance plane, I'm afraid that Mary would have to survive for at least seven or eight hundred years if she wanted to reach her current level.
At that time, it was the time for her to race against life with her hard work and talent!
I have to say that Mary's ability to meet Grim is also an opportunity and fate for her. And she can trust Grim wholeheartedly, which is a strange flower that should not exist in the wizarding world, where everything is deceived and only talks about interests and benefits.
However, it is the existence of this strange psychology and emotion that liberates both Mary and Grim. There is no blood, no contract, no entanglement of interests, but both parties can believe in each other from the bottom of their hearts.
This...... It can't be described with ordinary feelings!
It is precisely because of his trust in Mary that Grim is doing his best to fight against the nightmare castle in front of him.
Under the dual detection of Grim's elemental vision and spiritual perception, the interior of Nightmare Castle is filled with all kinds of distorted and strange force field fluctuations. These force field fluctuations overlap and intersect with each other, entanglement and variation, thus changing the original force field properties.
It is precisely because of their overly complex changes that it is difficult for any external detection to move here.
When Grim first entered the castle, the domain enchantment and spiritual perception were compressed so much that it was almost impossible to leave the body, and this was the main reason!
Now, after the efficient analysis and data calculation of the chip, Grim has finally mastered the force field curve and fluctuation changes inside the Nightmare Castle. Only then did he further unleash the power of the Burning Realm, incinerating the terrifying enemies that swarmed one by one into dry bone char, blocking him ten steps away.
No way, after entering the second stage of the Nightmare Territory, almost all of the nightmare creatures that appeared in front of Grim were 2nd and 3rd order. They couldn't be Grim's true opponents, but with their fearless charge and terrifying numbers, they still dragged him firmly down the halls.
And taking advantage of the time bought by the nightmare creatures, this nightmare castle is also rapidly mutating. The flesh-walled biological matrix covered almost every corner of the castle, and even in the hall, Grim could faintly hear the thud of a low war drum.
Heartbeat...... It's the heartbeat of Nightmare Castle after it has been revived!
"It's time!!...... begin to enter the third phase of the Nightmare Realm"
As soon as the chip's beep disappeared, the strange heartbeat disappeared with it.
The entire Nightmare Castle suddenly became unusually quiet.
An unprecedented force of violence swept down from the upper floors of the castle, converging with the intricate entanglement of the force field fluctuations inside and pressing towards Grim.
Before the battle in Gravel Canyon, perhaps Grim would be able to resist this impact with a constitution of up to 26 points. But now, Grim's face changed, and he could only gather a massive amount of flame energy to block it in front of him, blocking the powerful force that was coming on.
Boom......
With a bang, the twelve-meter-tall molten giant flew out of the Nightmare Castle like a baseball that had been struck hard, and barely stopped until it smashed the gate on the outside of the castle manor.
Tier 4 Pinnacle ......
It's just that in the third stage, he already has the peak strength of the 4th order, and he actually forced himself out of the Nightmare Castle.
That's not a good beginning!
Grim thought as he slowly pulled his body out of the wall. The scorching flames baked the walls, burning the rock inside the humanoid gap red, and then turning it into soft liquid lava and cascading down.
And in front of him, the nightmare castle that stood silently in place, like an ancient beast, was slowly squirming. An unprecedentedly powerful soul wave rose from the depths of the castle and slammed into Grim head-on like a small mountain.
Grim's eyes flashed, and the tall molten body suddenly stood up like a mountain, and the condensed spiritual power blended with the four flame laws and directly greeted it.
Boom......
There was a silent muffled thud.
The formless and insubstantial spiritual power collided together in the void, and it actually stirred up wrinkle ripples visible to the naked eye. The sky above the entire Nightmare Realm was twisted and crumpled like a piece of parchment to a terrifying degree, and the terrible sound of paper tearing could be faintly heard in the void.
This kind of spiritual collision cannot be fake, that is, two powerful lifeforms abandon their spell-casting skills and combat methods, and directly collide together with the power of their whole hearts and souls. The competition is the strength of the spirit, the strength of the soul, and the tenacity of the will......
Grim has the Book of Darkness to protect his mind, and the Orb of Fire to act as a cohesive core, and is clearly superior to that Kethling in this regard. Although Kathling is also half of the metal refining, and his physical strength and mental toughness are far above that of human wizards, he is still inferior to Grim with dual artifacts in his hands.
After the impact, Grim snapped back one after another.
With each step back of the thick, sturdy molten thigh, it left a two-meter-deep footprint in place, filled with red, hot liquid magma that sizzled the earth.
And the Nightmare Castle, which is a hundred times larger than Grim's, is not so good.
As far as the naked eye could see, dazzling flames erupted throughout the castle. Thick puffs of black smoke drifted out of the castle and rose into the sky.
The Nightmare Castle trembled violently as a whole, and the relief decorations on the outer walls continued to fall. A deep crack stretched upwards from the castle foundation, even to the fourth floor of the castle.
The huge and complicated force field wall that had originally lingered around the castle crackled and burst non-stop.
This impact also successfully tested the basic strength of the two.
With Nightmare Castle as the main body, Kessling's strength and physique comprehensively crushed Grim, but in terms of mental power, it was obviously weaker than him.
Perhaps the most obvious weakness of Xelin is his mobility.
After all, it is just a life transformed from an alchemy castle, and its ability to move is close to zero. If it weren't for the special realm of consciousness like the Nightmare Realm, I'm afraid it would have been perfectly restrained by Grim's powerful fire sorcery.
After failing to strike, the Nightmare Castle shook its body again, and began to brew another consciousness attack. And Grim, who swore that he could not retreat, could only shake his molten body and meet him again.
While Ding Ding Clang and Kethling fight together, Grim secretly delivers a message to Mary.
"3 minutes and 11 seconds...... You've only got 3 minutes and 11 seconds! Retreat immediately after that...... Otherwise, I won't be able to stop this guy too!"
