Half an hourglass later.
Buzz, buzz…
The signature mechanical sound of voidships could be heard. In the far-off night sky, the fuzzy outline of two voidships appeared.
The Occult Pulverizer of the voidship was like a bottomless giant mouth, creating an oppressive atmosphere.
It was a masterpiece of the Sorcerer World’s mechanical art, enough to make any creature below the level of the World Lord feel challenging to fight against.
Whoosh, whoosh…
There were noises of hissing, howling, and wings flapping…
In front of the chaotic crowd of soul slaves, hundreds of Bright Sorcerers appeared in an organized and structured army, forming a sharp contrast with the mayhem behind them.
In the night sky, every elemental sorcerer appeared very mysterious with a dim layer of elemental halo surrounding them.
Two huge voidships flew side by side with the Demon-Hunter army, serving as bodyguards, appearing solid and indestructible.
Leading the Bright Demon-Hunter formation was an old sorcerer with a white beard, holding a deadwood magic staff in his hand. He was wearing a loose blue robe and a pointed hat with a shining ruby on top. Carrying a huge scroll behind him, his gaze was deep and wise.
The sorcerer should be the captain of the Bright Demon-Hunter army who was mentioned in the mission scroll—Alov.
As the white-bearded Demon-Hunter captain waved his hand, the massive Demon-Hunter army stopped thirty-meters in front of Grimm.
A mysterious figure standing on top of a gigantic crab caught the attention of the Bright Sorcerers and soul slaves.
A goat skull staff, a grayish-white mask with spiral patterns, and a myna with colorful feathers…
“Are you Demon-Hunter Grimm?” asked Alov with a deep voice.
On top of Thousand-eyed Carcinus, Grimm nodded slowly and asked, “Alov?”
On Grimm’s shoulder, Myna flapped its wings and passed Grimm’s scroll to Alov. Meanwhile, Alov’s scroll was handed over to Grimm by hundreds of fingernail-sized black insects.
They caught each other’s mission scroll at the same time.
With a poof, the hundreds of black insects turned into black smoke. In a blink of an eye, they reappeared in front of Alov and crept into his sleeve.
Meanwhile, Myna’s figure blurred in the air and reappeared on Grimm’s shoulder from the dimensional gap.
“Ha-ha, Sir Grimm, since the mission has been confirmed, please lead the way.”
Although Alov didn’t say it, he was shocked by the presence of Thousand-eyed Carcinus. He was certain that it was a Level 3 creature for sure.
‘How in the world did this Level 1 Demon-Hunter…’
“Sure.”
Grimm calculated the coordinates of their destination in his heart, and pointed a direction for Thousand-eyed Carcinus.
“Yes, Lord Grimm.”
Thousand-eyed Carcinus moved its body clumsily, with a low roar, its eight feet moved in the air and flew towards the direction Grimm pointed to.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh…
The Bright Demon-Hunter army and their soul slaves followed Thousand-eyed Carcinus closely. Large area of shadows were cast on the ground as they moved.
As these “terrifying alien creatures” that came from outside of the Burrow World flew passed the silent tundra, some weak creatures laid straight on the ground and trembled.
After all, most of the creatures living on the Surficial Tundra were just low-level creatures.
…
Four and a half months later.
A majestic mountain range covered in snow appeared. Grimm signaled Thousand-eyed Carcinus to stop and wait for a while.
A moment later, the army of Bright Sorcerers and soul slaves followed.
Grimm pointed to the majestic mountain range in front of him and explained to Alov, “After crossing this mountain range, there will be a large area of trees with dark red tree crowns at the bottom of the valley. While in an unknown place within that area, lies our mission target—the Ice Bats.”
Alov nodded in silence with a serious look, he seemed to already have a plan in mind. He then turned around quickly and gave his order to the rest of the Bright Sorcerers.
Screech…
Among the Bright Demon-Hunter army, two purple-head falcons on the shoulder of a Bright Demon-Hunter soared to the sky.
In the sky, under the gathering of natural force, a several meter wide huge eye appeared. A golden pupil in the middle of the eye kept rotating. It seemed to be some kind of Perception Sorcery.
As an ice elemental sorcerer controlled the elemental force skillfully, a half-meter Ice Bat gradually formed, which looked exactly like the specimen that Grimm had brought back.
As the Ice Bat blood contained in a small bottle were dropped into the elemental-sorcery creature, the Ice Bat flapped its wings and flew away.
Meanwhile, the ear of another Bright Sorcerer suddenly became huge…
Grimm watched these Bright Demon-Hunters in astonishment.
What he just witnessed was the power of collaboration that belonged only to a Bright Sorcerer army. No Dark Sorcerer—who often fought individually—could compare to the way they complement each other’s knowledge.
After only a few moments, the Bright Sorcerer with huge ears laughed and said, “Captain, I found it!”
“The coordinates?”
