A Sorcerer’s Journey

Chapter 925: Chapter 917

On the surface of A Base, the underground spread of the Devil Locustvine roots went unnoticed.

In dark corners, on walls, under trees, in empty rooms, one vague figure after another flashed and disappeared.

In comparison to these Tumor Frog People, the Evolved Humans formed groups of several to a dozen, sweeping carefully in all directions for sneak attacks.

”Hmph!”

This Grimm’s Oblivion Source Avatar sensed the absence of the troubles brought by the main body’s Face of Truth. If he could have complete insight, these Tumor Frog People would only create a false sense of disruption before Grimm.

However, fortunately, the life level difference between these Tumor Frog People and Grimm was immense, allowing Grimm to easily find flaws and traces using True Time.

Having identified a Tumor Frog Person’s trace, Grimm walked over step by step.

To Grimm, this was a casual stroll, but to these lower beings, he moved so quickly that only residual images remained. Grimm’s feet left huge cracking footprints on the ground, an uncontrolled radiation of Strength, terrifying the two-meter-high Tumor Frog Person before it was slapped away by Grimm’s casually outstretched hand.

Thud...

Boom!

Over a hundred meters away, a clear handprint appeared on the stone wall, over ten meters in size, and several inches deep, blood splattered in the center where the Tumor Frog Person’s blood was scattered.

An S-Class Tumor Frog Person who was about to ambush Grimm froze in shock at this terrifying scene, unable to breathe and his heart stopped.

In the next moment, as if within the span of a blink, this seemingly insignificant Evolved Human appeared before him, a dark red sword flashed quickly, separating his body in unspeakable pain.

A sequence of residual images overlooked from the high sky; chaotic miasma shrouded the vast and indistinct A Base, time passed, yet patches of blood suddenly exploded, a one-sided massacre.

Some low-level Evolved Humans who hadn’t been subjected to Grimm’s Soul Enslavement had already been stunned by the scene before their eyes.

A Base actually houses such powerful Evolved Humans!?

Is this real?

Is he really still human?

...

A few hours later.

Unaware of how many thousands of weak Exotic Creatures he’d easily slapped to death, Grimm’s Source of Annihilation Avatar circled A Base completely. Even some secretly hidden Tumor Frog People were already fearfully trembling, huddled in dark corners, afraid to take even one reckless step in this base with its slaughtering Devil.

Faced with such an overwhelming power that they simply couldn’t resist, these Tumor Frog People, who once took pleasure in nightly attacking guard Evolved Soldiers, were now like helpless children, crying and searching for their mothers.

”Master, here is the plan arrangement.”

Grimm walked into the base without a drop of blood on him. At this time, the Spiritual Technology Personnel Commander presented a report on the plan for relocating the Spiritual Time-Space Detector.

Dozens of pages detailed precautions about the relocation, ideal destinations, and difficulties...

It’s evident this was the best choice offered to Grimm within a few hours after extensive discussion and research by many Evolved Humans from various angles.

”Pangolin People?”

Another species that evolved from the chaos, with features resembling those of pangolins. It’s understandable why these research personnel chose to relocate the Spiritual Time-Space Detector there.

Rather than spending massive manpower, materials, and time building a new secret base defense, it was better to occupy the stone cavern dug by the Pangolin People, whose preference for digging in hard stone mountains made their cave a precious resource.

”Hm, alright, that’s settled. Summon a guiding soldier, I’ll make a trip.”

Grimm casually tossed the documents aside. Suddenly, from afar, Li Qingya approached while pushing Liu Haichan’s wheelchair, her face joyful as she had evidently learned of Grimm’s solo effort to eliminate the threat to the entire A Base.

”Situ, I’ll go with you.”

Grimm’s brow furrowed slightly.

Grimm wasn’t Situ, he lacked Situ Mo’s emotional attachment to Li Qingya. Due to the contract, Grimm couldn’t harm Li Qingya, but this Evolved Human’s emotions for Situ Mo’s beloved made Grimm feel quite uncomfortable.

What Grimm needed was the Spiritual Technology mastered by the Spirit People of this world to access the resources for World Rift Technology, and the special rules of this world as a temporal weak point. Deeper than that was exploring the possibly very powerful chaos world, which was Grimm’s purpose as a Stigma Sorcerer, as a World Master.

Of course, completing the knowledge collection of the seventh phase of the Face of Truth was an unexpected gain.

”Qingya, quietly wait for my good news in the base, the outside is too dangerous, I can’t guarantee your safety.”

Grimm tried to imitate Situ Mo’s tone, speaking gently to Li Qingya.

”Have you forgotten I am also an Evolved Soldier from the CF-2 Base? Although I don’t have the strong combat ability as you do, I have my special capabilities to effectively avoid risks, not being a burden to Evolved Humans, I think I could be of some help to you.”

Li Qingya spoke sincerely, her eager eyes looking at Grimm.

As a long-lived Wizard with certain emotional experiences, Grimm knew what Li Qingya had in mind.

Over time, the Situ Mo he portrayed had increasingly become the true savior of Evolved Humans, working tirelessly for their future, even sacrificing certain enjoyments.

At the same time, due to the ’Devil’s Power’ within him, he was distancing further from Li Qingya, seemingly having lost emotion and interest in her, merely bound by a name.

Li Qingya as a woman keenly sensed a persistent crisis, fearing she’d lose her husband!

This moment, she finally felt some regret for her past selflessness; for the future of Evolved Humans, she bet on her husband as a stake, selflessly offering him.

After all, she was just a woman, longing to be at her beloved’s side.

This was Li Qingya’s attempt.

”Then... alright.”

...

A Base, through the mineral mountains.

Spanning hundreds of miles, the mineral mountains contained abundant mineral ore, with a hard texture. Even during the biological evolution of the chaotic apocalypse, only a few plants grew and proliferated here.

Three advanced octagonal self-propelled artillery pieces climbed along the mountains like spiders, traversing as if on flat ground. Led by a C-Class Evolved Human soldier with several exploratory experiences here, Grimm and Li Qingya found the largest entrance to the Pangolin People’s cave in the mountain range.

”Commander, this is it. A year ago, I followed a few soldiers and explored the geology inside, very solid.”

This soldier was only a C-Class Evolved Human, not worth Grimm’s Soul Enslavement.

”Hm.”

Grimm nodded, and under the eager and reverent gaze of the Evolved Human, full of solemn mystery, he led Li Qingya step by step into the dark cave, showing no fear to the Pangolin People, which filled the Evolved Human with envy.

”Situ, 130 meters to your left front, there’s a Vitality of 137...”

Li Qingya’s sentence was interrupted when suddenly, the target who was just full of vitality saw it rapidly fall to zero.

Quickly catching up, she discovered Grimm holding a glow stick, quietly waiting for her.

As for the Pangolin Person, reminiscent of a crocodile now shattered to pieces.

Looking at Situ, who was deep in thought with his eyes closed, appearing extremely patient, upon seeing her approaching, he pretended to smile and proceeded forward.

Li Qingya felt the distance between them, though seemingly close, was as far as the horizon.
