Chapter 474: Experiment

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the Infernal Spirit World.
The sky was covered by the Abyssal Demon Cloud formed by Abyssal Clouds that were clumped together and blocked sunlight from passing through, while the atmosphere was filled with unusual Abyssal Shadows.
From afar, the area without the Abyssal Demon Clouds over it seemed to be a lonely island, as if it was the Will of the World-Core that was stubbornly resisting the intrusion of the abyssal energy.
There were birds that preyed around the sky with their fierce-looking eyes, while their bodies were fully covered by black malignant tumors.
Perhaps, they were also once common birds that roamed the world.
Post their abyssalization, they had turned into Abyssal Creatures that had highly unusual attacking power and also shocking life energy, and they had become the nightmare of the Acraepoids that struggled to survive as the Acraepoids could no longer prey on them mercilessly.
Buzz…
Unexpectedly, the Abyssal Creatures seemed to have high sensitivity and recognized the sorcerers’ breath from Grimm and Claudia, they were startled and started to escape.
The situation was completely different from the Arctic Tundra.
“Huh? Aren’t they Abyssal Creatures?”
Little Myna was the first to ask.
“What’s going on?”
Claudia was puzzled by the situation and could not believe what had just happened.
However, without any doubt, Grimm replied in a deep voice, “The Dawn Sages and Seven Rings Celestial Sorcerer had commanded the Battle Command to destroy the world through Abyss Cataclysm and not any other method. To us, destroying the world that poses potential threat by using Abyss Cataclysm is a relationship of cause and effect; however, to the mighty existence of the ancient ones, it might just be an experiment at the cost of one or two worlds from the large number of worlds that are under the control of the Sorcerers Will, it would mean so little to them.”
Before Grimm completed his sentence, the Abyssal Creatures in the surroundings sank into an odd silence, while the rays of sunset shone upon the land.
“From the looks of it, this experiment might have already been successful.”
It was a distinctive difference in terms of the stages of life!
To Grimm’s knowledge, experimenting with the Destructive Force that required a continuous supply of the “Observation tool of Destructive Energy” to carry on the experiment involved knowledge that was highly unreachable, it would be as if he would be able to own everything just by controlling the force.
However, to the great mighty existence, an experiment to gather enough data for the next experiment would require them to destroy a whole world…
***
Nine months later.
Grimm strayed far from the area of the Darkborne Kingdom and flew toward the Void Fortress after passing through the Land of Infernal Spirit.
There were too many powerful Acraepoids from the Darkborne Kingdom that remembered Grimm’s face and his soul’s breath, for he was the one who had initiated the Destructive Disaster in the world; therefore, he would not spare even a single moment to set foot in such a dangerous area.
Grimm had led Claudia to easily locate the Void Fortress that was left behind by Black Isotta when they had invaded the world, as he had followed the guidance from the Sorcerer’s Will and also the ring of light of Black Isotta’s Will.
However, there were three Void Fortresses that had appeared in the sky from a far distance ahead.
“Is this the area of the First Acraepoid Kingdom?”
Grimm blocked a small team of Demon-Hunters that was made up of seven people, it was led by a common Level-1 Demon-Hunter.
The Demon-Hunter leader replied with the utmost respect, however, there was slight hesitation, “Yes, this was once the First Acraepoid Kingdom’s Capital.”
Grimm looked toward the direction pointed by the sorcerer, it was an endless ruin covered by the Abyssal Demon Cloud, the Abyss Moss that seemed tiny from afar had blanketed the world like a carpet, extending to every part of the land like a black ocean.
The insignificant beginnings had caused such a great impact.
The tiny little creatures had brought the world into their ancient memories since the beginning of their existence, while constantly transforming the world with the aim of turning it into a true Abyss World.
“Hmm, what about the three other Void Fortresses?”
Grimm continued on with his question.
The sorcerer gave Grimm a puzzled stare as such a question was being asked by him, a Demon-Hunter that had a Rank-1 Honor Badge.
Grimm had also realized his mistake.
He was too eager to find out about the world since he had been away from the Infernal Spirit World for tens of years.
If the Demon-Hunter were at a level higher than that of a Level-1 Demon-Hunter, he would have been forcefully detained at the Void Fortress for special investigation.
It was at the same time, the ring of light of Black Isotta’s Will shone and transformed into a beam of light that blasted into the Void Fortress.
Grimm was stunned as he received a message in return.
He gestured for the team of sorcerers to leave and continue on with their mission, while he turned and said to Claudia, “It’s Black Isotta.”
Grimm could not resist letting out a sigh.
“It was my mistake during this Demon-Hunting expedition to miss the best timing to capture the “Infernal Spirit Scriptures”, later on, I will meet with Black Isotta to confirm whether the scriptures have been successfully retrieved; only then, I will decide on the next agenda.”
Claudia laughed and replied, “Well, then I will first visit Solumn while waiting for your good news.”
“Hmm.”
Grimm brought Little Myna along as they parted from Claudia, they sensed the presence of Black Isotta’s Will and followed it toward the Void Fortress; when they were halfway there, a mechanical bee flapped its wings at high frequency and stopped before Grimm as its wings turned into shadows.
A creaking sound was heard as the cabin door of the mechanical bee was opened, and there was a great Level-3 sorcerer who was looking at Grimm.
“Master Grimm, Black Isotta awaits.”
Grimm nodded and entered the inner cabin of the mechanical bee after he had greeted the great sorcerer.
Another creaking sound was heard as the cabin door was closed, and a buzzing sound was heard as the mechanical bee disappeared at lightspeed.

As Grimm entered the lobby surrounded by collapsed spaces, a shadow turned around and looked at him with a horrifying pair of eyes.
“What happened to you, you have been away from the Infernal Spirit World for tens of years?”
Grimm tried very hard to resist his tension and control his breathing, while he held on to his Sabbatic Goat Staff and nodded; with the utmost respect, he replied in a deep voice, “Great Black Isotta, I returned to the Infernal Spirit World only a year ago, as I was accidentally trapped in a Void Aperture of this world for fifty years.”
“Huh?”
Black Isotta was in disbelief and replied, “Tell me the world coordinates of the Void Aperture.”
Grimm replied with the coordinates around the area of The Sea of Whirlpools, and Black Isotta was shocked after a short moment of calculation as he said, “You were trapped in the dangerous Spectral World Aperture that was once warned by Seven Rings Celestial Sorcerer?”
“I…”
Black Issota stopped Grimm before he could reply.
“Stop right there! Hehehe, I am a final step away from being a great Celestial Sorcerer, and I do not want to die in the hands of an Eternal Dominator.”
Grimm was surprised.
He did not expect the mysterious, cold and ruthless Black Isotta to speak in that way.
The conversation lasted for a little more than ten minutes, before Black Isotta gestured for Grimm to take his leave; Grimm was a little disappointed as the once appointed mission was not mentioned during the conversation.
Grimm knew that upon recruiting the Broodmothers, more missions on the mainland would follow, and he would have missed out entirely on the rewards that might come along with the missions.
Then what would be the purpose of him coming to this world…
Suddenly, Grimm gritted his teeth and his footsteps faltered, he turned around and asked, “With all due respect, great Black Isotta, has the World Lord of the World—The First Acraepoid King, fallen?”
“Hehehehe, among the five World Lords of this world, he is the only one left, are you interested in the mission of hunting down this World Lord? If you are able to provide useful clues, there would be an Honor Badge, as well as a private reward from me.”
Black Isotta spoke with a persuasive and evil tone.
Grimm shook his head and left after a bow.
