Age of Adepts

After tired and tired of handling Mary, Grim finally made time to prepare for the upcoming mission.

In order to better keep his life in the mission, Grim has used almost all of his resources, adding various Alchemy items to his own pockets to deal with various emergencies.

The Screaming Branch that you just acquired when you traded with An Mu falls into this category.

Screaming Branch, a unique item born of nature, cuts it down for a close-up storage and can scream like a woman when Host’s Body suffers a Curse attack. And An Mu traded to Grim’s Screaming Branch, and was able to use 3 times, which is also an essential bodyguard item.

Want to go out, similar items need to be prepared quite a lot.

A hemostatic ointment that promotes the rapid healing of wounds, a wisteria that can continue the broken limbs, an antidote that can eliminate common toxins, an acne powder that can evict mosquito ants during camping in the wild, and a talisman that can detect the creature of the spirit…

Going out, in addition to the magical beasts and monsters that are unpredictable, the most troublesome thing is the “likeness” with all kinds of singular abilities. If you are prepared to be well-rounded, you may save your life at a critical moment. So when preparing these things, Grim always tries to take all the things into consideration to avoid being helpless in certain situations.

What’s important is that the possible location for this mission is in the ground. Grim has a special look at the information about Underground Cave, which is a preliminary understanding of it.

What Grim didn’t realize was that the original Adept Continent’s ground was not just a solid crust of rock and earth, but a lot of deep and tortuous underground tunnels and large and small caves and caves. There, there are gleaming rocks, luminous crystals, and phosphorescent mosses, lichens, and fungi. Compared to the surface, the weird plants are very common. If the visitors do not pass the Witchcraft method, they can hardly identify which are toxic and which are edible.

But the more terrifying there are not alienated plants and animals, but a lot of deformed, evil dark creatures and some Fallen Adept that are off the Adept path.

Most of them committed felony crimes in Adept Continent. In order to escape the pursuit of the Adept Association, they were forced to hide in the depths of the underground and chose to accompany the ugly and distorted underground creature. It is said that somewhere deep in the depths, there is a small-type city built by Fallen Adept, which is simply the evil capital of evil and smog.

Due to the complex terrain and numerous channels of Underground World, Adept Continent’s several adept organizations and associations have organized countless cleanups. It is a pity that they can’t completely destroy them every time, but let them grow up step by step. Now, that sin capital has hundreds of Official Adepts, and it is considered an alternative force outside the orthodox Adept System, Fallen Adept.

The Underground Cave that Grim needs to explore is just one of the dozen openings of Underground World at the surface. Although there are Adept Towers in the building and Official Adept, there is still no way to stop Fallen Adept from using various methods to sneak in and out.

With the ability of Grim to apprentice these tasks, of course, it is not possible to compete with those of Fallen Adept. So what they need to do is to probe the distribution of monsters in the 10 li area below the surface, and check to see if there are any signs of Fallen Adept.

The previous task was done very well, but the latter task was very dangerous. Once you have encountered Fallen Adept during the tour, those Pseudo-Adept level other apprentices are not necessarily able to escape.

So in the face of this situation, Grim needs to prepare some special items in a targeted manner.

There are rugged underground caves and tunnels everywhere, and surface creatures are a problem. Therefore, the first thing that needs to be solved is this vision problem.

There are two ways to solve this problem.

One is to acquire some Alchemy items with Dusky Vision effects, of course it would be better if it could be Dark Vision. However, considering his own net worth, Grim can only consciously lower the demand level.

Dusky Vision allows the spel recipient to maintain normal visibility in low light, while Dark Vision goes one step further and allows the spell recipient to look normal in the dark environment.

The second method is to transplant a Void Changing Eye or Thousand Eyed Insect.

The former is a technology that uses Creature Transformation to replace one of its own eyes with a Void Changing Eye that has been modified with Witchcraft, giving it the ability to see invisibility and darkness. However, this method involves Creature Transformation and can easily contaminate its own bloodline purity.

The latter is to swallow a Thousand Eyed Insect. This will allow it to temporarily parasitize itself with the body, thus proliferating a new compound eye on the forehead. After Thousand Eyed Insect parasitizes, Host’s Body will reach a symbiotic status with it, and it will also share its special vision – infrared perception.

This parasitic effect is really good, but there are also some annoying repercussions. That is, you need to swallow some grasshoppers that Thousand Eyed Insect likes every day, otherwise the parasitic Thousand Eyed Insect will pick up the flesh and blood essence of the body from time to time. In the depiction of the book, those grasshoppers are a kind of soft mites that resemble the previous life silkworms. This makes Grim, who reads here, feel retching.

Taking these circumstances into consideration, Grim feels that he still gives priority to the auxiliary Alchemy item. If it is not collected, I am afraid that I will be forced to go to the Thousand Eyed Insect parasitic path.

Taking into account the problem of viewing, Grim then began to consider the issue of access.

It is in the ground, surrounded by moist soil and hard rock, and a fierce battle can trigger terrifying landslides. How to save yourself if you are buried in a closed cave?

Grim was also worried about this problem, but in the end the chip helped him find the answer. That is Earth Magic Puppet!

Grim elemental affinity is Fire Element, but the two Earth Magic Puppets he masters are all earth attributes, and the earth attribute creature is a good hand for underground. With Earth Magic Puppet, there should be no geography to trap Grim.

However, this is only a theoretical situation. After you want to get first-hand data, you need to verify it yourself. So Grim ran to Danny to post a message for Dusky Vision talisman, and then slipped out of Adept Tower again.

To be honest, since the announcement of the Forced Assignment, a large number of Apprentice Adept are busy preparing for the mission, and the timed tour outside the tower has been suspended, so Grim never worried that someone would run to disturb his skill drills.

Familiar came to the periphery of the mud swamp, where he found a flat land, and Grim planned to exercise his own attack mode. The reason why I chose here is because the Ghost Matron leader Simba has been killed, and the Ghost Matron has no heads, no one dares to run out to find his own troubles.

Two Earth Magic Puppet Summoning Crystal Cores were thrown to the ground and stained with earth and moisture. Two different shapes of the Earth Magic Puppet appeared in front of Grim. Simba’s Crystal Core summon came out with a humanoid Magic Puppet close to 2 meters, and the just-produced Giant Alligator King Crystal Core summon came out like a crocodile. In addition to being a little smaller than the real Giant Alligator King, it is almost the same in appearance.

Grim squinted and thought for a moment.

Almost all of these two Crystal Cores are taken from the head of a living monster, and it is not surprising that some soul information remains on it. When Summoning Crystal Core shapes itself with a condensed Earth Element, the ideology of life has already determined their acquired form.

Of course, this body after all is condensed by the Earth Element, as long as Grim delivers accurate and clear instructions through the conscious mark, they can also mobilize the Earth Element to transform the body into the form that Grim needs. However, this process obviously needs to consume a certain amount of elemental energy reserves.

Grim looked at the two Magic Puppets in front of him, and he couldn’t help but feel a surge. Three days ago, he was still a lonely loner, but now, it is also a preliminary pledge of the Magic Puppet team. Although the number is small, but after all, let yourself take the development of the First Step.

The data of the previous clay figurine Magic Puppet has been collected, so this time Grim focused on the data of the new Magic Puppet.

Clay Alligator Magic Puppet.

Battle-type semi-summon Puppet Creature.

Strength rating: Advanced Level apprentice (medium)

Basic attribute :strength 16Agility 3Constitution 17Spirit 8

Innate Skill (active):

Earthquake, range of influence

Marsh Spell (range), earth attribute restraining-class ranged magic, forms a quicksand swamp on the side of the body, limiting the enemy’s ability to move. Magic range: 10 × 10 meters. Cooling time: 120 seconds.

Slowing Beam (earth), the aggressive attribute, can inject the pure Earth Element into the body with the line of sight, causing the precipitation and deposition of the Earth Element to slow down the enemy. Magic attack range: 10 meters. Cooling time: 15 seconds.

Innate Skill (passive):

Earth Repair, the triggered earth attribute passive ability, can extract the Earth Element from the soil under the foot to make up for its own loss. 1% of body damage can be repaired every 10 minutes.

Sure enough, it is a much more powerful Giant Swamp Alligator King than Simba. The Clay Alligator Magic Puppet made with its Crystal Core is a basic attribute that goes beyond the clay figurine Magic Puppet (except Agility). And its combat skills are complemented by their own abilities, at first glance is the violent Magic Puppet approaching Melee Path.

But Grim brought them out today, not to show off muscles, but to exercise the first tactics they had conceived.

Stabilizing her mind, Grim finally screamed to give them instructions to fight.

“Magic Puppets, use your bravery and fearless to get through the path of victory! Now I order, fit!”
