A Sorcerer’s Journey

“Where is this?”

Grimm, who had used Spacetime Coordinates Access to appear next to Little Myna, said in shock.

Was this an ocean made of cascading Magnetite Stones? Each Magnetite Stone was only a meter wide in a very uniform matter as they hovered in the sky packed to each other.

Grimm who had already trapped that ancient creature just now could have received a portion of Evil Blood after killing it. However, Grimm was disheartened by how powerless he felt when the creature’s strong constitution allowed it to ignore his attacks.

“Huff…”

Grim removed the effects of his wild instincts transformation. In that moment, Grimm felt his body weaken from the side effects of activating the transformation.

“Gah!? Young Master, run!”

Little Myna suddenly came to from being slightly dazed and yelled as he stood on Grimm’s shoulder. Grimm was stunned by Little Myna’s response.

Buzz…

In the midst of Grimm’s hesitation, a shining beam of Magnetite Ray shot up from below the Magnetite Star. Boom! The huge ocean of Magnetite Stones before Grimm was blasted into dust that was scattered throughout the air as dazzling Magnetite Ray spots erupted. The Magnetite Ray spots were easily absorbed by the giant Dagutha Constellation that had filled the skies and captured most of Grimm’s gaze.

“The Dagutha’s Light of Constellation!?”

Although Grimm was tens of thousands of meters apart from the intangible dazzling light, his Sorcerer Barrier had already begun to be twisted. After the Magnetite Rays that were emitted from the Magnetite Stars beneath his feet had been forcibly absorbed, the Magnetite Rays and the Sorcerer Barrier began to create friction against each other.

This was…

Under the Mask of Truth that was printed with white spiral patterns, Grimm’s pupils shrank. Without a second thought, he swallowed a Snowline Essence. The 100 points of constitution replaced the sense of weakness he felt as he ran wildly into a distance.

Bam! The repulsion under Grimm’s feet flowed as the space behind him twisted. Grimm landed several hundred meters away from where he was before. The repulsion under his feet erupted once again as he leaped into a distance.

After repeating this several times, Grimm turned back to take a look, yet his face was still as white as a sheet of paper.

The dazzling Dagutha’s Light of Constellation formed by intangible Magnetite Rays struggled to resist by using the Magnetite Rays that it had just collected. Above the Dagutha’s Light of Constellation, a branch river was separated from the blood river formed by the Evil Blood Dreadlord, slamming downward like a giant hand.

Yet Grimm did not avoid its attack range.

“Young Master, this isn’t looking good, I’m hiding for now!”

Standing on Grimm’s shoulders, Little Myna turned his head back to see the Dagutha’s Light of Constellation failing to withstand the blood river branch’s attack as Grimm was still at the rim of the blood river. Seeing how critical the situation was, Little Myna yelled and squeezed into the Dimensional Gap.

“Darn it, I told you to run away, why did you come here!”

Grimm roared.

If one were to say that facing the Level-3 ancient creature just now required some wisdom and strength, then what Grimm required to survive in this battle between two World Lords was sheer luck.

Crack!

The vast, thick Magnetite Ray above his head could no longer withstand the blood river’s attack and dodged it without a choice.

The moment the two came in contact, Grimm who was leaping in mid air, attempting to escape from the blood river’s shadow, felt his body sink with weight as he started to fall from the sky. This was due to the Dagutha’s Light of Constellation being weakened, allowing a part of the blood river’s strength to overflow and fall upon where Grimm was.

Ahh…

Puff!

A couple hundred groups of Magnetite Ray spots dissipated as they let out a cry.

Being backed into a corner, Grimm crawled on the ground as he looked at the Magnetite Star’s cracks. Huge volatile Magnetite Rays burst out from the cracks. After looking back to see the blood river branch that was ascending into the skies, Grimm could care less about the consequences as he jumped in.

Crackle!

The blood river that filled the skies covered the crack above Grimm’s head. Grimm, who received the impact, fell down the valley in the crack at an even faster pace.

The bottom of the crack was a place that was close to the Magnetite Star’s center.

Rays of high density Magnetite Ray that was mixed with volatile impurities gushed toward Grimm’s body as he felt an odd feeling which he had never experienced before.

Undoubtedly, these Magnetite Rays were indeed harming Grimm’s body to the extent where Grimm’s body would have reacted negatively to them if it were not for the protection effects of the Snowline Essence’s enormous life energy.

What was amazing was the impurities that were mixed with the high density Magnetite Ray!

These impurities seemed to have… an extraordinary attraction power like the Gravity Stone powder in Grimm’s blood?

This feeling was the same as the attraction of Grimm’s Gravity Stone after the combination of Evil Bloods and the Magnetite people.

Bam!

Grimm landed on the deepest parts of the Dagutha Magnetite Star’s crack. It was a bit soft yet hot as well. The elemental energy present was unbelievably chaotic and volatile as the air was filled with a mineral scent.

What came into his sight was chaotic and volatile as distorted magnetic fields were everywhere. Grimm could feel his life force plummeting under the illumination of the high density Magnetite Ray.

Pitter-patter…

Suddenly, blood rain started to fall above Grimm’s head. This was from the blood river of the Evil Blood Dreadlord. A few drops of it landed on Grimm.

Most of the Evil Blood had dissipated and became part of the Magnetite Ray’s impurities under the illumination of the pure Magnetite Rays formed underground.

Yet the sole drop on Grimm’s cheek seemed to have sensed Grimm as a flesh creature as it attempted to squeeze into Grimm’s body from his pores like its life depended on it.

“Hmph, repulsion!”

A layer of scales appeared on Grimm’s cheek, replacing the Sorcerer Barrier’s protection.

As Grimm used repulsion to try and dissipate the single drop of Evil Blood by using the Magnetite Ray, something that Grimm was not expecting happened.

He had just used repulsion but the gray powder of impurities seemed to have received some sort of attraction as they left the Magnetite Ray and rushed toward Grimm’s body from all directions.

“This… this is a power that is opposite to the Gravity Stone’s!? The Star Stone!?”

The sorcery of repulsive and attractive forces that was completed on the basis of the Gravity Stone by the Netherheart’s First Inherited Vein was not widely spread in the Sorcerers World.

At the very least, Grimm had not discovered the sorcery of repulsive and attractive forces that was completed on the basis of the Gravity Stone from Sorcerers other than Netherheart’s First Inherited Vein.

It was not a must for the sorcery of repulsive and attractive force to be completed on the basis of the Gravity Stone.

Master Peranos who had researched further into the knowledge on repulsive and attractive force had deduced from the relationship between the Gravity Stone’s structure and energy, that there was a matter in the Endless World that had the exact opposite characteristics from the Gravity Stone.

Gravity Stones appeared in solid forms so Star Stones had to appear in the powder form. Both of them may be the basis for repulsive and attractive force, yet the conditions they presented were exactly the opposite from each other.

Master Peranos had speculated that by receiving this material and having it make up for the quirks of the Gravity Stone, it would remove the harm lone Gravity Stones brought to the skin. It might even work well with the Gravity Stone to allow cells to evolve passively under the magnetic field cycle of repulsive and attractive forces, in turn achieving a hyper-speed physical evolution!

In other words, the Gravity Stone in the body’s initial position along with the Star Stone outside the skin would allow the cells throughout the body to be passively trained under the magnetic field of the repulsive and attractive forces, in turn achieving the goal of anatomy refinery.

Grimm was excited by this unbelievable surprise while his body was withstanding an unbearable pain. Blood flowed out from the corner of his lips.

This was due to the fact that Grimm’s Gravity Stone was not arranged to have his human body as the initial coordinates according to its solid attribute. Instead, it was in a powder form that was mixed with his blood to avoid his skin from being harmed.

Yet now, a clash had happened between this light of wisdom and Star Stone. Two matters whose attributes were made to make up for each other had collided against each other. If not adjusted in time, the balanced law of Grimm’s flesh would start to collapse!

“Dissimilation Sorcery!”

Puff! Grimm had turned himself into the form of a molluscus being as his flesh continued to secrete crystallized particles of Gravity Stones.

After slicing the air weakly with a single hand, Grimm took out a complete Gravity Stone from the Dimensional Gap.

This was the Gravity Stone replenished after Grimm’s trade with the Earth Vein Fairy in the Sorcerers World. Grimm caught hold of this Gravity Stone with his tentacles as a molluscus being. He placed the stone in the center coordinates of his body according to Grimm’s will.

Blurgh!

Grimm turned back into his human form as he vomited blood that contained broken impurities of the visceral cell wall.

“Hmm?”

After the blood river on the top of the valley had been moved, Grimm had flown to the skies to avoid the corruption of the high density Magnetite Ray. Yet at this moment, Grimm could feel that something was off!

Some changes were occuring to his blood.

That drop of blood that fell on his cheek had been completely absorbed when he casted his dissimilation sorcery.

In mere moments, Grimm realized something as the color in his face started to drain. Had he become one of the Bloodprint Creatures in this world!?
