A few minutester...
Plop!
With a soft sound, Jim Grimm’s body fell to the ground with his face facing the sky.
There was arge hole in his chest, and his heart was torn into pieces. He stared at the dense branches and leaves above his head with wide eyes.
Heath wiped the blood on his face, spat to the side, and cursed in a low voice, “Tch! Damn it, he’s so hard to kill!”
Jim Grimm had mastered two defensive spells, three healing spells, and Solid Skin and Thick Flesh. As long as it was not a fatal blow, he could recover quickly. It really gave Heath a headache.
‘If I didn’t kill Harry Grimm first, I might not be able to defeat these two brothers. A low-level Apprentice is so fierce. I really don’t know what level an intermediate-level Apprentice is...’
Heath couldn’t help but sigh. The more he understood a Wizard, the more he felt that a Wizard was terrifying.
Shaking off his messy thoughts, Heath walked forward and ced one hand on Jim Grimm’s body. He silently chanted in his heart, ‘Extract.’
[Beep, extraction sessful. Spirit +0.03]
[Beep, extraction sessful. Obtained Spell Model, Water Shield.]
[Beep, extraction sessful. Obtained Spell Model Water of Life.]
[Beep, extraction sessful. Wizard Talent +1. Current Wizard Talent: 3. Rating: Low.]
A series of electronic notifications rang out. One attribute, two spell models, and one talent had been extracted.
Heath’s eyes could not help but light up, and a look of joy appeared on his face. He had thought that he would only be able to extract one spell, but he had not expected there to be one more.
‘It seems that the extraction of spells should be random!’
He guessed silently in his heart.
“Hmm... Woo... Ah... I want...” At this moment, a seductive voice sounded.
Karina, who was far away, had unknowingly crawled to Heath’s feet. She twisted her waist and coiled around Heath’s body like a water snake...
Heath frowned. He raised his hand to strangle her neck, lifted her chin, and looked at her blurred eyes.
Sleeping Eye, activate!
The four eyes intertwined. The dark elements carried Heath’s spiritual power and eroded into Karina’s spiritual sea through her eyes. Her misty eyes gradually closed, and her body went soft, sliding down from Heath’s body.
Heath continued to extract. This time, it was Harry Grimm.
Unfortunately, Harry Grimm had already exploded into pieces. He tried to find thergest piece of the corpse to extract, but he didn’t know whether it was too crushed or some other reason. The notification indicated that the extraction failed.
Heath cried out in pity, “If I had known earlier, I would have found another way to kill him. It was a miscalction!”
Then, he returned to thest Karina.
At this time, Karina had already fallen into a deep sleep under the effects of the Sleeping Eye.
Heath picked up Karina and began to carry out thest part of his n, which was also the most important part —
Dealing with the aftermath.
The Grimm Brothers were not ordinary Apprentices who were unknown. Although they were filled with evil deeds, they were still the official Apprentice’s right hands. In fact, 90% of the Magic Stones that they had plundered had actually gone into the official Apprentice’s pocket.
Killing the two of them was equivalent to touching the official Apprentice’s money bag. If he did not do a good job of cleaning up the aftermath, it would be easy to get burned. After all, there was no official Apprentice behind him who protected him.
Under the premise that no one interfered, Heath felt that the Shadow Tower’sw enforcement was still rtively reliable.
And because of this, before starting this n, Heath had naturally made aplete n on how to clean up the aftermath...
Heath carried Karina all the way to the nearest exit from the Underdark Treesea. He put Karina down and threw half of Harry Grimm’s severed hand beside her.
The Apprentice left the Underdark Treesea without permission. No matter what the reason was, it would be treated as a betrayal.
As time passed, the effects of the drugs on Karina’s body gradually faded. The effects of the Sleeping Eye also gradually dissipated. Karina, who had been asleep for a long time, slowly woke up.
“Don’t... Don’t... Don’t do this! No!” A hysterical shout was heard.
Karina suddenly stood up.
She instantly assumed a defensive posture, and a ball of me with a quick reaction was ignited in her hand.
However, she soon saw that there was nothing in front of her eyes, and there was no trace of the Grimm Brothers.
‘I’m saved?’
Just as this thought appeared in her mind, she suddenly saw the half of the arm that had been thrown to the side. It was dripping with blood.
Karina was startled and subconsciously took two steps back.
After taking a step back, she suddenly realized that she was no longer in Mushroom Valley from before. Instead, she was now at the exit of Underdark Treesea.
She stopped in her tracks and suddenly seemed to understand something.
Karina was arrogant, not stupid. Although she had been high and mighty since she was a Wizard, she was used to all kinds of conspiracies and tricks in the pce.
Even when she was bored, she had captured a few civilians to let them y a game of killing each other. In order to have fun, she had also carefully designed some plots.
Because of this, she quickly figured out the current situation.
The current situation was as follows:
The Grimm Brothers were dead. Whether she killed them or not, it was already rted to her.
If she returned now, she didn’t know how the tower would deal with this matter. But the official Apprentice behind the Grimm Brothers definitely wouldn’t let her go.
Instead of going back to be tortured, she might as well just leave this ce and go far away.
The person who saved her clearly had the same intention by leaving her here. He wanted her to leave and take responsibility for murdering the Grimm Brothers.
Karina’s expression was uncertain and she looked conflicted.
She knew it, but she had traveled thousands of miles toe here. Now, she was forced to leave after learning a few spells. It was not easy to make such a decision...
Heath said, “Just go. It will be difficult for me if you don’t leave.”
Karina’s guess was right. Heath’s arrangement was to force her to leave and take the me.
Many Apprentices in the tower knew that the Grimm Brothers were going to make a move on Karina. At this time, the Grimm Brothers disappeared and Karina escaped from the tower. This way, everyone would think that it was Karina who did it, and no one would suspect him.
Moreover, the sky was high and thend was wide. As long as Karina escaped, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. An official Apprentice would not have that much power to reach that far, right?
As for the tower... Based on Heath’s understanding of the tower over the past few months, it was unlikely that they would make a big fuss for these unofficial Apprentices...
Heath stared at Karina.
It would be best if Karina was willing to take the me. Otherwise, he would have to carry out the second n...
Then, would Karina be willing to ept this basin of dirty water?
The answer was self-evident.
After hesitating for a moment, she gritted her teeth, took out a cloak from her dimensional pocket, put it on, and grabbed the magic staff, and left without looking back.
There was no need to make any choice.
Staying here was undoubtedly a dead end. If she went out, she might be lucky enough to encounter some opportunities.
Hiding in the dark, Heath continued to keep an eye on Karina until he confirmed that she had left through the exit. Only then did he rx.
There was a magic circle left by the Wizards at the exit of the tower. Once an Apprentice left, they would leave a record. In addition to the incident with the Grimm Brothers, as long as she was not stupid, she would not be able toe back.
Of course, to be on the safe side, Heath continued to wait in this area for two days until he waspletely sure that Karina would note back. Only then did he get up and leave.
Next...
It was to see what reaction the tower had....
