“Master Grimm, are you alright?” asked the worried Thousand-eyed Carcinus .
Grimm was breathing heavily as if he was rescued from drowning . His large sorcerer robes draped over his body as he bent down in pain .
Presently, he was as weak as a baby .
Grimm had outdone himself by sealing a cave tens of meters wide with ice more than thirty meters thick . Not only did he exhaust all the ice element energy accumulated by Ice Marrow Crystallization but he also depleted every ounce of Magic power within him and his Demon-Hunting Outfit!
Grimm was now in the same condition as Hill Wood’s Millie, who had also used the Ice Age Seal during the Holy Tower Apex Battle . He was so exhausted he could not even walk .
Puff… Puff … Puff …
Grimm, however, did not respond to the Thousand-eyed Carcinus’ concerns . Instead, he weakly whispered to Myna, “Little Myna, give me the Mask of Truth and another new Demon-Hunting Outfit . ”
Grimm could barely speak, obviously too weak to slice open a Dimensional Gap .
“Ga? Oh, okay! I know what to do!”
Myna flew into the Dimensional Gap and cut open a crack . After pulling out the Mask of Truth with his beak, it then pulled a Demon-Hunting Outfit out of the Dimensional Gap with all his strength .
“Bloody hell, master, I’m so exhausted!”
The Demon-Hunting Outfit was simply too heavy for Myna, having strained each and every one of its muscles just to drag a Demon-Hunting Outfit out of the Dimensional Gap .
“Grimm!”
Other than Nairo, the rest of the Demon-Hunters flew beside Grimm, with stares and gawks of mixed feelings .
No wonder he had the guts to challenge a team lead by a Demon-Hunter with Honor Badge!

With everyone’s help, Grimm put on a new Demon-Hunting Outfit . His exhausted Magic Power immediately replenished, relieving him from the great pain and suffering of his depleted Magic Power .
As he put on the Mask of Truth with his shaky left hand, Grimm, a Dark Sorcerer, was reluctant to show weakness in front of others . Grappling his Sabbatic Goat Staff, Grimm stood up amongst the crowd and looked at his “masterpiece” .
The spell of Thousand Birds Frost Burst formed a powerful barrier with breathtaking layers of unbearably cold ice .
Gasp… In the outermost layer of the translucent ice, a group of flying squirrels could be seen trapped inside, frozen solid in strange and awkward postures . After that was a layer of bloody red ice . Beyond that layer, nothing else could be seen .
Catching his breath, Grimm groaned, “The mist of my homemade Demonic Blood Moss has permeated outermost the layer of ice . It should be enough to last in this enclosed space for several months without dissipating . The group of flying squirrels can’t hold up long against it . We are temporarily safe . ”
“But how are we going to get out?” Saris frowned, asking questions from everyone .
“The way I see it, we can retreat to a few Burrow passages and escape through another cave,” said Lou Linman who voiced out her thoughts slowly .
On her shoulder perched her angry parrot, Leafie, “All these thanks to some myna . If it wasn’t for it, we would have been jolly well on our way back home . ”
“Ga?”
Myna wanted to defend itself but could find no suitable words to react . It murmured instead, “I, Lord Myna, did not do that on purpose . I, Lord Myna, am not just any run-off-the-mill myna too . ”
Myna’s voice went softer and softer, drowned by self-consciousness as he spoke .
Grimm shook his head, “It was not a disaster . Yes, there was trouble, but being found by these flying squirrels could earn us some extra reward of Sorcerer Essence . ”
Extra Sorcerer Essence as a reward?
Sorcerer Essense always had its charm among sorcerers . Sorcerer-Apprentices would kill to be a Demon-Hunter, and Sorcerers would also risk their lives to participate in a Demon-Hunting Expedition mission . What else would they want other than Sorcerer Essence?
Everything within the Sorcerer World could be bought with Sorcerer Essence .
“How much Sorcerer Essense are we talking about?” asked the old sorcerer who first joined Grimm’s expedition .

Grimm pondered for a while before answering, “Five to ten pieces I presume . The actual number still needs evaluation of Battle Command before it can be finalized . I will now contact our Bright Sorcerer’s rescue team . ”
Grimm took out his crystal orb and two pieces of Null World Stone, trying very hard to hide his weak condition .
Ignited by Grimm’s Magic Power, the Null World Stones vaporized into a cloud of white mist circling the crystal orb in his palm .
Over time, Grimm felt a close connection with a certain soul somewhere far away .
The crystal orb flashed, and after a vague beating, the elderly Bright Sorcerer Julni appeared . The old witch said gravely, “Grimm, are you in trouble?”
“Yes . ”
Grimm responded with a similar tone, “It’s a swarm of flying squirrels . I was blocked at the exit in a nest of the world . The flying squirrels numbered to about 300,000 to 400,000 . ”
Julni’s old face changed to an expression of awkwardness, clearly looking uncomfortable .
“That many? Grimm, you know, although I took over a group of Soul Slaves, I’m just a leader of a team with 25 Demon-Hunters, …”
Grimm seemed to have expected the response saying, “It doesn’t matter . Apart from you, I will contact another Bright Demon-Hunter team to aid us . ”
As she nodding, Julni seemed to regain her calm . “Okay, tell me your coordinates . ”
“Seven-seven-nine-four-six-three, six-eight-two-six-five-four-three-one, one-nine-two . ”
Julni nodded, and after a moment of silent calculation, she raised her head and said, “After a month, I will reach your coordinates and join the team of other Bright Demon-Hunters that you called . ”
“Okay . ”
Grimm nodded, closed the crystal orb connection, and melted another Null World Stone .
Grimm crystal orb flashed and a moment later, Cameron’s handsome face appeared .

He stood on the back of an Abyss Dragon with a significant number of Soul Slaves Army behind him . Beside him stood a group of Bright Demon-Hunters .
“Grimm? You …”
Grimm replied, “Cameron, please help me contact Captain Istanrima . There have been unexpected events, and I need your help . ”
“Ah? Okay!”
Surprised as he was, Cameron rode his dragon to the front of the Bright Sorcerer team quickly, passing the crystal orb to his own Demon-Hunter team leader, Istanrima .
Soon, the crystal orb in Grimm’s hands reflected the image of an honorable Bright Demon-Hunter . He was old, yet stern and majestic .
“Well, Grimm, is there anything I can help you with?”
After the customary sorcerer greeting, Grimm said, “Master Istanrima, I encountered some troubles at coordinates 7-7-9-2, 6-4-6-3, 6-8-2-6 6-5-4-1, 1-9-2 . I was blocked by a group of flying squirrels inside the exit of the World Nest . Your aid is sorely needed . ”
“Oh? How many are they?”
Istanrima seemed a little surprised, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes .
“Well … about 300,000 to 400,000!”
The old witch was calm as she nodded . “Okay . I’m quite a distance from the coordinates you’ve provided me, and it’ll take me about two months to get there . Yes! Hehehe! I sure didn’t expect to be continuously called for missions!”
Soon after, she closed the crystal orb connection .
Grimm breathed a sigh of relief, put away crystal orb, and looked at the team members around him who were also relieved . He spoke in a deep voice, “So, let’s wait here, and they will contact us when the time comes . ”
“Okay . ”
Everybody left the Thousand-eyed Carcinus . They occupied a small area near the passage and went on to tend to their own business .
While slowly rejuvenating his Magic Power, Grimm took out a piece of strange fur in which he wanted to study the clues of the self-sealing knowledge system . He began to study it carefully .
One month soon passed .
Grimm took out his crystal orb again . A light curtain flashed, and Julni’s old face appeared .
“Grimm, I’ve reached your coordinates . ”
Through the crystal orb’s light curtain, Grimm saw more than twenty Bright Sorcerer players and hundreds of Soul Slaves behind her .
Nodding happily, Grimm was massively relieved . He continued, “In a month’s time, the team of Bright Sorcerers I contacted will arrive . We can work together then…”
Another month passed .
Grimm led five other Demon-Hunters and flew out of the Burrow . Thousands of Soul Slaves and hundreds of Bright Demon-Hunters were fighting a fierce battle .
After taking a deep breath, Grimm gradually formed a dark red energy ball on the top of his Sabbatic Goat Staff .
“Fire Blast!”
Swoosh!
The dark red beam of light flickered .
With a loud roar, a dark red beam of light exploded among the flying squirrels, its billowing flames drowning out hundreds of them . The other five Dark Demon-Hunters behind him started their own battle as well .
