Chapter 0961: Sudden Enemy
Ever since he embarked on the wizarding path, what has been torturing Grim is the difficulty of promotion.
Before becoming a wizard, there was no necessary way to obtain resources, and all wizard apprentices had to rely on the little thing that slipped through the fingers of a formal wizard to strengthen themselves.
After becoming a wizard, the effect of meditation on the wizarding community in the past is no longer as significant as before. Many times, in order to improve themselves better and faster, wizards have to go out of the laboratory and run around in various wild ancient places, ancient ruins, or some dangerous places, at the cost of their lives to obtain some necessary resources.
For them, staying in the safety of the wizard's tower may be able to survive until the end of their lives. However, the slow improvement of the main attributes of the profession will become a noose around their necks, tightening day after day, year after year.
If they can't advance to the next level before their longevity is exhausted, then what awaits them will be physical decay, mental exhaustion, and soul decay. Compared to ordinary people, this process can take more than a decade until their soul fluctuations completely dissipate.
The process of waiting for death is so long, so terrifying, that most wizards who have reached the end of their lives become more sinister, more insane, and more unbelievable.
Time may seem generous for a wizard, but it is still like a terrible death who will visit you on time, severing all your ties with this world little by little with the dullest and slowest knife in the world, until eternal darkness.
Therefore, do everything possible to accumulate resources and find ways to improve your professional attributes, which has become a never-fading development theme of wizard life!
And the Elemental Wizard route chosen by Grim is a difficult path with spiritual power as the main attribute of the profession. Every bit of improvement in basic spiritual power is very meaningful to him. Because if any bit of basic spiritual power is paired with appropriate sorcery abilities and powerful sorcery equipment, the derived combat power will be increased tenfold or hundredfold.
Therefore, the importance of basic spiritual power to Grim can be imagined!
And now, the data scanned by the chip told him that there was a way to quickly increase his mental power without meditating year after year, and how great the impact on Grim would be......
Grim let the chip deeply scan the Soul Gathering Crystal at least three times, and each time he came to the same conclusion, and then he completely believed the chip's test report.
As for the side effects mentioned at the end of the chip report, Grim didn't take them seriously.
It's not that Grim is too overly arrogant or reckless, but that he knows how difficult it is to improve his mental strength.
Meditating year after year, but the mental power data does not move, breaking into an extremely dangerous relic to find the right resources for themselves, serving the strength of a large family or large organization for decades, just to obtain some resources that they monopolize......
Compared to these hardships, a little mental backlash or side effects is simply too easy!
Any wizard in the position of Grim will not hesitate to choose to strengthen the spirit. As for the side effects, let's wait until the strength is improved and then find a way to resolve them little by little!
After all, stronger strength means more power and more resources, and if you want to solve some small sequelae, are you afraid that there is no means?
Of course, the pure holy light stored in the Soul Gathering Crystal must also wash away the remaining soul fragments of those paladins in advance. These things are equivalent to impurities mixed with the light of faith, and if they are not removed in advance, once Grim absorbs them into his own sea of consciousness, it will bring terrible and serious consequences.
In fact, in the wizarding world, there are also many wizards who have studied evil witchcraft that absorbs other people's spiritual power for their own use. But all of these witchcrafts are subject to a terrible catastrophe, which is spiritual revolt.
Just like a variety of clothes stitched together in different colors and materials, the surface looks intact and new, but once it is subjected to huge pressure, it can fall apart in an instant.
Therefore, these sorcerers also invented some special witchcraft, or special witchcraft, to suppress the backlash in the depths of their souls. However, the consequence of this is that they need to carefully control their mental state, and once the spirit is greatly damaged, they may be instantly dominated by the hidden subordinate personality, resulting in a disorder of priority.
However, the absorption scheme proposed by the chip to Grim is obviously different, and even a little unbelievable.
According to the scanning and analysis of the chip, it can be found that the pure light that Grim encountered this time is obviously completely different from the souls of the dead collected by other wizards. It is more akin to an ownerless 'free' faith power, and has the strange ability to dissolve all external energies and all external consciousness.
Store them, and the remnants of the paladin's souls contained in the holy light can be maintained for a long time with the holy light as the carrier. This is obviously not conducive to the subsequent absorption of Grim.
Therefore, the chip proposes that Grim also separate a part of the spiritual consciousness into the Soul Gathering Crystal, and they snatch control of the Holy Light carrier. If the holy light in the Soul Gathering Crystal is condensed, Grim will undoubtedly go to death if he does this.
But now, inside is a plate of scattered sand, and the souls of all the paladins have become incomplete, and they only know that they instinctively cling to the holy light, wailing day and night for their future tragic fate.
Such a situation is obviously suitable for Grim's various breaks.
Grim's Soul Splitter only needs to defeat them one by one and snatch the Holy Light they possess, so that they can gradually grow stronger day by day. Wait until the split soul has completely devoured all the souls and condensed their holy light together, and then choose to disintegrate itself, so that this strong split soul can become the nourishment for the fusion of holy light.
In this way, Grim will not have any sequelae if he chooses to fuse the Holy Light to strengthen his spirit!
As for the question of Grim's purification after absorbing a large amount of foreign spiritual energy, this is another problem. Anyway, with his power and financial resources, a regular spiritual purification ritual would not cause the family's finances to collapse.
However, if you want to split a part of your soul, it is difficult to do it in such a remote and crude place, and you must wait until you return to the wizarding world and use the alchemy laboratory of the wizarding tower to implement it.
Just as Grim was holding the Soul Gathering Crystal in his hand and thinking about the follow-up questions, the depths of his soul moved slightly, and he was attracted by a strange scene from afar.
It was a forest path 30 miles east of Grim's crypt.
A transparent apprentice-level wind spirit floated above the woodland, slowly patrolling along a special trajectory. And at this moment, three figures of different heights suddenly came from far and near on the forest path.
They were all wrapped in thick black traveler's cloaks, and even their faces were obscured by their low-hanging hoods, making it impossible to peek into their professions and identities. It can only be distinguished from the vague body type, and the person who came is a man and two women, and their behavior is strange.
The wind spirit, which Grim had left here to act as his eyes and ears, immediately lowered his height silently, clinging to the dense treetop canopy, and quietly gathered a faint breeze that blew towards the three of them from the front.
However, just as the breeze was about to approach the comer, the most petite of the three of them suddenly raised his head, and a pair of dazzling eyes as bright as morning stars stared at the wind spirit coldly.
In the next second, the light and shadow flickered, and the wind spirit in the distance cut off the soul connection with Grim.
Originally, these scattered wind spirit eyeliner were all remotely controlled by the chip. Their daily patrol routes, reconnaissance and scanning work are all uniformly transmitted to the chip, which is under its unified control. If there is no police information, these daily cumbersome messages are almost all handled by the chip.
But now, the chip projects a scene found by an eyeliner in the distance into Grim's mind, which indicates that the situation it is facing has gone beyond the scope of ordinary police information and must be handled by Grim himself.
"Chip, can you determine their identity, is it a paladin or a wizard?" asked Grim in a deep voice.
Truth be told, Grim would rather fight two Tier 3 natives than a Tier 3 wizard. After all, the witchcraft mastered by wizards is too complicated and too strange. In many cases, even one wizard who is stronger than another may lose his life due to some of the more insidious sorcery.
The chip quickly put the last scene captured by the wind spirit before its death into front of Grim's eyes, and began to gradually zoom in.
The shadow of the hood, which was originally dim and blurry, gradually became clear as the light projection gradually approached.
This is a charming woman's face, the face is delicate and beautiful, the face is delicate and white, the white and red skin is soaked with vitality, and even the hair on the skin looks so even and smooth, without the slightest flaw. However, it was not her beauty that attracted Grim's attention, but her strange eyes that suddenly lit up, and the strange crystal set in her forehead.
Repeatedly admiring and looking at such a beautiful face, Grim's heart was strangely heavy and depressed.
Sorcerer...... There is no doubt that they must be wizards from the wizarding world!
This also means that there are a few more enemies who have broken into the Envik plane to strangle themselves. And the mastermind behind the scenes may be stuffing more hunters here!
The witch who showed traces must be a 3rd order, and judging by the way her ability works, it seems that she is a psychic warlock, a special wizard class that can use spiritual witchcraft.
But are the remaining two Tier 3 or Tier 4, and if they are both Tier 3, what are their individual abilities?
Grim, who had just reviewed his gains and was a little complacent, was immediately disturbed by these sudden enemies.
The enemy had begun to kill the eyeliner they had placed on the periphery, and judging from the direction from which they came, it seemed that they had come from the city of Hakhans. This means that there must be a terrible guy among them who is good at tracking.
It seems that they really need to fight if necessary!
After thinking about it, Grim immediately began to pack up his tracks and prepare to run away......
