Boom!
Suddenly, a tremor exploded from afar and came closer!
There were elemental waves traveling at high speed from behind the Thousand-eyed Carcinus . Paired with a deep laughing voice, the waves closed in as it traversed along the void tunnel .
“Huhu! You can’t run away now, you inferior human!”
Just a moment ago, the black flames were still at the far end of the Infernal Spirit world gate . Now, it was only about a thousand meters away from the Thousand-eyed Carcinus . The Infernal God yelled in excitement and hatred .
The pair of pale blue eyes were set onto Grimm, colder and creepier than solid ice that had lasted 10,000 years .
Both Grimm and the Thousand-eyed Carcinus who had almost calmed were now in a terrible shock!
“Roar!”
The Thousand-eyed Carcinus let out a deep growl similar to its wild instinct, disregarded its fatigued legs, and dashed forward using all of its energy . Its eyes were bloodshot with veins as they gaped wide open .
Grimm felt a chill run through his spine with cold sweat drenching his entire body . Goosebumps formed all over his skin while his face turned ghastly white .
The Infernal God was a gigantic creature, occupying almost the entire void tunnel with its black flames . For such a tyrannical creature, it would only take a pinch from it to…
“Ahh…”
The fear Grimm experienced was indescribable and he immediately stood his weak body up disregarding the black flames that surrounded his body .
It all happened in a flash .
Grimm quickly removed his Mask of Truth that was covered with greyish-white stripes with one hand, while the other raised the Sabbatic Goat Staff .
Both his eyes seemed to be filled with a mixture of feelings, unwilling to let go of past memories but at the same time, unable to resist the hunger and hope toward the future that awaited .
Suddenly, a loud jingling was heard as the white rhombic crystal shattered into pieces and spread across the air .
Ding!
It was as if the crispy crackling sound was from the deepest parts of his heart .

All of a sudden!
Frost Energy came in like a giant wave in a stormy sea as Grimm tried his hardest to maneuver the magical power far beyond his capabilities to control .
The energy that came in suddenly was in excess, much more than what Grimm could handle . This meant that he could cast out any amount of sorcery he wished as long as he was able to control it .
His golden hair was set upright by Frost Energy, while his sorcerer’s robe was also covered with a layer of ice .
There were white snowflakes surrounding the air around Grimm . Biting cold wind formed into miniature tornados that hurtled around the frost, causing clumps ice to accumulate on his eyebrows and hair .
“Ah!”
Biting hard into his lips, Grimm tried to control the excessive amount of Frost Energy . Then, hundreds of thousands of ice birds appeared from the integration of the cold wind and the ice crystals .
“Thousand Birds Frost Burst!”
Grimm yelled loudly, and suddenly the densely packed ice birds streamed at the direction where the Sabbatic Goat Staff pointed at as if it was a flowing river that was frozen .
Poof, poof, poof, poof, poof, poof…
As the frozen river flew, the ice birds exploded continuously and formed into huge pieces of ice crystals that soon accumulated into an ice wall .
The Thousand-eyed Carcinus took advantage of the force from the explosions and sped up to dash forward and escape at a speed far exceeding its maximum capability .
Grimm acted as if he had gone crazy .
As if losing all sanity, he released all of his magical power without any reserve causing the waves of the icy river that was formed by the flowing ice birds to growl and pound wildly .
Being a Level 1 sorcerer himself, the first time when Grimm had offended the mighty World Lord was when he chose to adhere to objectives and stay firm on his beliefs during a mission that he had taken when he was a Dark Sorcerer . This time, it was purely because of the natural survival instinct that had driven him insane .
Not every low-level creature would dare to make the first move in going up against lifeforms of a higher level .
“It’s useless! Your struggle will not change anything!”
As it growled, the black flames rammed through the layers of ice immediately transforming them back to their original elemental state .
Grimm remained unaffected by the surroundings and closed his eyes . He let out a deep growl like a beast as ice birds continuously appeared from the top of the Sabbatic Goat Staff . They rushed toward the direction of the black flames .
The gigantic hand covered in black flames took a wave toward Grimm and met the ice birds which all exploded at once . The explosions, however, seemed ineffective in blocking the gigantic hand .

The hand started to move carefully .
Unlike the previous time, the gigantic hand moved cautiously trying to not trigger vibrations in the void tunnel that might cause it to collapse .
Grimm and the Thousand-eyed Carcinus were almost crushed by the gargantuan hand . Even Grimm’s robe started to disintegrate and disappear, and the brownish-red hair on the back of the Thousand-eyed Carcinus had already turned into ashes .
Under the massive pressure, Grimm had great difficulty trying to breathe . It was also difficult for the Thousand-eyed Carcinus to move forward as if stuck in a pool of mud .
Boom!
Suddenly, a light flashed briefly from Grimm and the Thousand-eyed Carcinus, before completely disappearing from the void tunnel .
“Roar…disgusting!”
The Infernal God pushed the layers of ice in anger and roared, “You can’t run away! You can’t run away! You can’t run away!”
A similar light flashed from the Infernal God too and it immediately felt that it had moved to a different world as the surroundings blurred .
It immediately felt the familiar feeling of being stuck in a narrow aperture space, while extending its head surrounded by flaming black flames out into the Burrow World gate .
Its gigantic hand was no longer restrained and it could continue to release wild energy again . Without any mercy, it immediately pushed toward the direction of Grimm and Thousand-eyed Carcinus who had just entered the Burrow World . It roared excitedly, “You can’t run away… run…”
There was a short moment of silence when every movement in the surroundings paused . The Infernal God felt as if its heartbeat had stopped as looked around the Burrow World’s surroundings with its pale blue eyes .
“This… this… can’t be real?!”
The upper part of the Infernal God’s body was stuck between the gate of the Burrow World . It extended its gigantic hand out further and was about slam onto the Thousand-eyed Carcinus and Grimm . At the same time, he was closing his eyes and constantly releasing an insane amount of ice birds .
They were now about to fall into the crushing hands of the Infernal God as if toys for its pleasure .
However…
The sky was covered completely by hundreds of thousands of soul slaves that had formed into an army of creatures, similar to the surroundings of the Infernal Spirit World . They surrounded and blocked the gate of the Burrow World .
There were almost a hundred Bright Demon-Hunters lined up closely which then formed up into a square . The elemental lights from all of the demon-hunters joined together into a glowing ribbon .
Voidships about 300 meters in length were arranged in a line with their attached Occult Pulverizers aimed toward the world gate . Icy light that reflected off the metal formed into a ring of light that was similar to the giant crest of a deep valley, releasing a terrifying amount of energy to its surroundings .
Within the surroundings of the world gate…

“Hehe, hehehe, hehehe, hehehe!”
Another black gigantic hand appeared . It was about a hundred meters wide, around the same width as the skull of the Infernal God . The gigantic hand was icy cold, cruel and ruthless as it grabbed the skull that was covered with black flames .
The gigantic hand gripped the skull hard much like a sorcerer that was holding a pair of ears from a rabbit specimen sitting on top of a laboratory workstation .
With a loud “boom”, the gigantic hand captured firmly onto the skull of the Infernal God .
“Hehehe, got you, you can’t run now!”
The threatening, evil, and excited laugh came from Black Isotta that guarded the world gate .
Another booming sound came out and another gigantic hand from Black Isotta that was filled with energy gripped the other side of the skull with both hands forming into a circular ring .
“No!”
The Infernal God let out a moan in despair desperately trying to get back into the void tunnel .
It was a powerful creature that was horrifying and indescribable, more haunting than the First Acraepoid King; as terrifying as an ancient primordial creature .
As the creature was from ancient times, it was something the Infernal God was incapable of going against!
The struggle and growls from the Infernal God did little to help its escape into the world gate .
As if both of the black gigantic hands had implanted roots within the skull of the Infernal God, the Infernal God continued struggling while Black Isotta continued the excited and evil laughter .
It was then that the gate of the Burrow World started to burst from the massive pulling force of the gigantic hands . The Infernal God was forcefully pulled out bit by bit .
“Nooo…”
The Infernal God let out a final growl before being dragged into the Burrow World by a giant transformed by Black Isotta, a giant that stood up to a thousand meters tall .
A booming sound was heard as the palm of the giant slapped onto the surface of the ground .
Boom!
Tremors spread across the ice-caked ground of the Burrow World, and waves of deafening sounds blasted from the impact of the fallen Infernal God .
A moment later, the ground of the Burrow World cracked and formed a pit that spread across the ground tens of thousands of meters wide . As soon as the ice on the surface of the ground cracked, it immediately melted and evaporated into steam .
The giant pit was about few hundred meters in depth .
The Infernal God was in disbelief as it looked up to the sky where the thousand-meter black giant stood, a giant that was surrounded by excessive energy forces that were impossible to control .
Unintentionally, small bouts of energy slipped out of its control and caused collapses around the surrounding space .
“Is this…the legendary god of all gods?
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Four shadows that had been transformed by Stigmata Sorcerers cast out four deadly strikes toward the Infernal God that was resisting desperately .
A moment later, the surrounding ground was scattered and smashed . Mountains were being flattened, and hundreds of irregularly shaped holes appeared on the ground which resulted from the earlier impact .
“My Lord! You may save your magical power now! The mission has ended!” roared the Thousand-eyed Carcinus roared in grief .
Grimm slowly cleared his thoughts blurred from fear and looked around the familiar surroundings .
The top of his Sabbatic Goat Staff was still releasing endless amounts of ice birds toward the world gate .
“It is over?”
A motionless Grimm fainted on the back of the Thousand-eyed Carcinus with a plop .
The black flames that had melted the Ivory Armor covering Grimm’s body seemed to drill into it .
