A Sorcerer’s Journey

Three dazzling light balls illuminated a dark world.

Unending numbers of Amonros surrounded the three Stigmata Sorcerers with their flesh and blood.

Within view, a dense crowd of piglet-shaped creatures with scorpion tails gathered nearby. It was rare to have Amonros spotted so close to the elemental giants conjured by a Stigmata Sorcerer.

Cantered on Stigmata Sorcerers, ripples of energy waves screeched out in all directions. As the crooked elemental light waves swept through, all lesser Amonro became stunned and fainted, dropping from the sky unconsciously.

However, the Amonros seemed to have a drastic change in temper due to the shadow calamity, and yet they fearlessly surrounded three Hearkening Whisperer Giants. Although each attack of Stigmata Sorcerers massacred them in massive numbers, the numbers of lost Amonros rapidly recovered and were reinforced in full.

Docked on the Void Fortress, The Prism Fortresses fired consistently from far as support. Each detonated light explosion caused severe damage, though not enough to make any significant changes to the situation.

Grimm turned his back to the direction of Hearkening Whisperer, watching countless Amonros swarming in all directions. The dark red energy on top of his scepter calmed down gradually.

Bang! A flash of dark red light vanished into the crowd of Amonros and exploded at great magnitude.

Hit by the Fire Blast Spell, hundreds of Amonros dropped dead which caused a space among the Amonros legion. In the blink of an eye, fresh Amonros filled again that space.

The Fire Blast Spell was ineffective and pointless in this battle. Since Grimm had drained a lot of his Magic Power, he had no other option but to cast a Fire Bat Spell to clear off the crowd of enemies.

“Argh!”

Someone screamed within twenty meters from Grimm. Shocked, Grimm turned his head and looked towards the voice.

A vast cloud of Enigmatic Energy wrapped around a Demon-Hunter. He gradually shrank in size until he was no bigger than a fingernail. He was then thrown into the mouth of an incredibly powerful Enigmatic Amonro’s mouth which it swallowed immediately.

It was a Level-3 Enigmatic Amonro!

Grimm was startled by what he saw. Just as he was just about to join a few Demon-Hunters in ‘Amonro’s Tears of Sorrow’ mission to surround the Level-3 Enigmatic Amonro, he suddenly heard another scream from another direction.

At around ten meters height, the Enigmatic Prophet was wrapped in a thick Enigmatic Energy. It dashed towards them.

Enigmatic Prophets were also known as the guardians of this world. Even if they were the weakest among Enigmatic Prophets, their strength was still top-tier at Level Three!

Boom!

The Dark Sorcerer who was attacked by an Enigmatic Prophet was in despair. As courage filled his eyes, he blew himself up. What followed was a tremendous thunderous burst, followed by energy waves crackling and rippling away.

However, after the thunder dispersed, the Enigmatic Prophet, wrapped in a thick Enigmatic Energy, took no damage, and looked straight at Grimm with murderous eyes.

“Damn it!” ”

Grimm cursed as he exchanged eye contact with several Dark Demon-Hunters next to him. Everybody looked serious.

At this moment, killing the Level-3 Enigmatic Amonro was no longer in question. They had to focus on their escape from this Enigmatic Prophet safely.

Grimm’s and the rest of Dark Demon-Hunters were being placed at the safest spot on the battlefield for its strategic advantages. Therefore, their numbers were relatively small.

Was there even a safe place to be on this battlefield? The Amonro surrounded the three Enigmatic Sorcerers from all directions. Prism Light Rays on Void Fortress could not pierce through the wall of Amonros’ living flesh. Would these Demon Hunters still able to complete their mission of ‘Amonro’s Tears of Sorrow’?

Grimm’s and his fellow Demon Hunters carefully observed their surroundings. It was not wise to put their life at risk to complete their mission.

On the Demon-Hunter’s battlefield, the amount of Fallen Amonro was still considerably large. They replaced the Soul Slaves’ position as sacrifices of war.

Once ‘Amonro’s Tears of Sorrow’ had been released, the loss on Amonro’s would exceed the loss of Fallen Amonro. However, such was not how the Demon-Hunters calculated their casulaties.

Demon-Hunter’s calculations only involved their own losses.

However, the Demon-Hunters would suffer a significant loss on their Greater Amonros. In the presence of Stigmata Sorcerers, Lesser Amonros were nothing but specks of dust under their nails.

‘Amonro’s Tears of Sorrow’ had been transmuted based on the Arcane Knowledge of Life and Death gathered by the Black Sorcerers. It targeted only a specific life form.

Fallen Amonros were after all Amonros.

Upon their release, Demon-Hunters would lose all Fallen Amonro as war sacrifices. It was the same as killing a thousand at the cost of eight hundred lives.

The best way for the Demon-Hunters to suffer the least damage was to have the Fallen Amonro battle against the Amonro until the day of World Cataclysm.

“You guys are the slayers of Amonros. Execute this stubborn Amonro immediately.”

Standing next to Grimm was a Demon-Hunter who commanded hundreds of Fallen Amonro with his soul communication. They did this to slaughter the third-level Enigmatic Amonro in their entirety.

These Fallen Amonro were the Demon-Hunter’s obedient minions. They crushed their way towards their targets without hesitation and shouted in Amonro’s language, “Surrender and obey the will of the great sorcerer.”

Throughout all these years, it was clear that the Amonros of Enigmatic World of the evil sorcerers have completely bewitched these Fallen Amonro. They no longer possessed The Heart of Amonro. Without it, they were nothing but enemies.

Hence, the third-level Amonro made his move. With no hesitation, it killed these Fallen Amonro in cold blood.

By doing so, it was clear that the hatred for a sorcerer in this Amonro’s heart was more than skin deep.

Grimm and his fellow Dark Demon-Hunters gave out a low roar as they took their chances on the Enigmatic Prophet, which stood at the side.

Hatred covered one of the Dark Demon-Hunter’s face as he transformed his hand into a dark-elemental giant arm under his leather Armor.

Burning in waves of dark fire, the four meter long giant arm thrusted towards the Enigmatic Prophet who was ten meters away.

Thud!

It all happened in the blink of an eye. The Enigmatic Prophet, wrapped in thick shadow Enigmatic Energy, turned into a shadow after a low roar. This sent the Dark Sorcerer flying in the air along with his giant arm, which dropped dead on the ground far away.

“Furnace Cannonball!”

A brownish-black energy ball flickered as a Dark Sorcerer yelled, but the Enigmatic Prophet dodged the attack. An explosion hit a Lesser Amonros which was far away.

Bang! A large group of Lesser Amonros fell. It splattered their flesh all around the place.

A Dark Sorcerer invoked bloodline sorcery and transformed his body into a giant cockroach. Turning his head, he sprayed a cloud of purple poisonous gas with his mouth.

Another Demon-Hunter summoned hundreds of black hairball creatures. These black hairball creatures had a pair of sharp little claws, with a few round and watery eyes. “Squeak!”, they cut through the air at tremendous speed, dashing toward the Enigmatic Prophet.

On the forehead of Grimm’s Mask of Truth, a golden beam slowly grew in shape. He waved his magic sceptre and “squeaked!”, a high-pressure water column fused with lightning blasted at the Enigmatic Prophet.

“Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!”

The small black hairy creature screamed as it was sucked into Enigmatic Prophet’s mouth. Enigmatic Energy purified the large piece of purple poison cloud. It was impossible to get close to the Enigmatic Prophet.

Grimm’s Golden Eye attack and lightning water pillar did not affect the protection of the thick Shadow Armor.

Swoosh!

Grimm’s pupil suddenly shrank. It was a spirit!

On Grimm’s ten meter shadow, a Dimensional Gap opened, connecting his shadow and the back of the Enigmatic Prophet. A Shadow Hedgehog pierced its way from the back. As the Enigmatic Prophet dodged the surprise attack, Grimm yelled and thrust his Sonic Tailbone Dagger into the burning Eternal flames.

Bang! A Sonic Tailbone Dagger was stabbed on Enigmatic Prophet’s Shadow Shell. Its Eternal flame struggled for a while before it went out. Sonic Tailbone Dagger was pushed out of the Shadow Shell and fell to the ground.

Something was not right!

Grimm regained his consciousness and found his Shadow Hedgehog gasping for air in the Enigmatic Prophet’s energized forelimbs. The Shadow Hedgehog struggled and tried to hurt the Enigmatic Prophet. Yet it could not pierce the thick Shadow Shell.

After a few breaths, Shadow hedgehog slammed to the ground and was crushed under Enigmatic Prophet’s feet.

Under the Mask of Truth, Grimm’s face turned pale. The Shadow Hedgehog had been born a few years ago, and it was now dead. With that being said, it turned out to be all but an experimental tool.

Not far away, the Level-3 Enigmatic Amonro which slaughtered hundreds of Fallen Amonros turned into a white afterimage, slicing its way towards Grimm and his party.

It was extremely fast. Under such profound pressure, it was impossible for it to defend itself.

It was over…

In great desperation, Grimm murmured a Curse, and summoned the Savage Flame Giant. The black and gold flames burned up to five meters tall and its belly screamed and snarled.

Its eyes moved like a snail; filled with cruelty. The lava sword in his hand emitted a blazing flame at extreme temperature. One could see magma oozing out from the tip of his sword.

Grimm located the coordinates of Myna in the dimensional space and prepared to make his run.

Other Dark Demon-Hunters were also preparing their means of retreat. These two third-level creatures were way over the capability of all Dark Demon-Hunters among that party.

The Level-3 Enigmatic Amonro and Enigmatic Prophet prepared to attack. They gave out a tormented scream!

The Level-3 Enigmatic Amonro floated into the air and tried to struggle his way out of the space. Suddenly, wham! A twenty-meter wide hand slammed down from the sky.

With only a pinch, Hearkening Whisperer Giant turned the Enigmatic Amonro into bloodstains.

The Enigmatic Prophet vanished in the air and made his escape from the presence of Hearkening Whisperer Giant.

The Hearkening Whisperer looked at the Enigmatic Prophet’s escape, and resumed its cleansing work on the thick layers of “flies.”

This Hearkening Whisperer Giant’s movements caused energy ripples, which stunned groups of Lesser Amonros in the air, dropping them dead onto the ground.
