    Five yearster.


    An army of Abyssal Demons surrounded a small group of Acraepoid survivors, who numbered just over a hundred. In their final stand, they wielded the Infernal des with desperation painted on their faces.


    As the colossal body of the King of the Snowthreads rose amidst the formation of Abyssal Demons, a “puff” could be heard, it was the faint sound of an explosion high up in the sky. In the next moment, ayer of cerulean ice crystals started forming from the center of the King’s body. On theyer’s surface were balls of Ice mes raging intensely.


    The entire cluster of Acraepoids was stuck to the posture they were in moments before they lost their lives.


    Splish, ssh...


    The King of the Snowthreads’ body disintegrated into a swarm of regr Snowthreads which copsed onto the iceyer. yfully, they slid around theyer like on an ice rink.


    Apanying these child-like Snowthreads as they plopped onto the icyyer, was a crystal bright light. The Frost Flowers “crackled” as they burst apart while the cerulean Ice mes started converging into a single ball.


    The process of condensing the Ice Top would take several days’ time.


    However, this group of Acraepoid survivors was too small, not enough to make aplete Ice Top. The n was to make a small portion of the Ice Top first.


    Though, five years hadpsed and it was time for the King of the Snowthreads to return to the Burrow World.


    “What a pity, even with the additional Life Essence of this group of Acraepoids, we have not evenpleted the twelfth Ice Top.”


    The King of the Snowthreads said to Grimm regretfully from the midst of the Ice me.


    “Also... look at how the Acraepoids of this world are living now, like rats underneath the floorboards. They can no longer change the inevitable demise of their kind. The hatred I have for them have disappeared at this sight.”


    Grimm could no longer feel the bloodthirsty ughtering Will from the body of the World Lord. On the contrary, he felt the signal given off by the King of the Snowthreads growing more and more conservative as the days went by.


    Over the past few years, Little Myna had grown extremely close to the King of the Snowthreads.


    “Caw caw caw caw, big deal. To my young master Grimm, the most important thing isn’t the Ice Top but the knowledge he obtains after observing the immense powers of the Ice Energy. At any given time, the sorcerer’s yearning for knowledge goes beyond his pursuit of materialism.”


    Grimm and Millie cautiously approached the zing Ice mes.


    Grimm could not wait to observe the Ice mes which now belonged to his own unique branch of sorcery research but before that, formalities were as important which was why Grimm bowed down to the King of the Snowthreads while doing so.


    “That is true. Inparison to producing Ice Tops, the mystical knowledge I have harvested in the process is priceless! It has never crossed my mind that the Ice Energy may be utilized in such ways...”


    Grimm sighed.


    Since centuries ago, Grimm had always conducted his research on the path toward me Elemental spells. While the main reason for this was unclear, Grimm being prematurely exposed to me Elemental knowledge and Mina’s Body of me definitely had their impacts on him.


    This leaning toward me Elemental Energy had led to the me Energy exerting its dominance over Ice Energy in the fusion process of Grimm’s Fire st Spell and the Ice mes which were the primary reaction to create the Destructive Force. It was only due to his impressive control over the me Energy that he could intervene in the process and achieve an optimal but delicate bnce.


    And perhaps due to this, the Fire st Spell required a rtively long period to warm up before being unleashed.


    As for now, having spent such a long time observing the Ice Energy belonging to a World Lord coupled with the Drift Ice Energy which he had harvested, together with Millie, it was not an overstatement that Grimm had finally established a profound understanding on the Elemental Knowledge. This also meant that he had perfected the fundamentals for casting the Fire st Spell.


    The development of events had been in Grimm’s favor after all, for the knowledge he had obtained sparked an idea on how to use the Destructive Force to his advantage.


    “Knowledge? What is that?”


    To the King of the Snowthreads, passive evolution just required it to follow its instinct of self-preservation and to break through whatever obstacles that were thrown in its way. As such, the term “knowledge” was something fresh, and something yet to be added to its vocabry.


    Grimm paused for a moment to think of how he was going to answer such a question.


    “What we call ‘knowledge’ is the endless series of theories andws which wee up with to help exin what we observe on the underlying mechanisms by which the Endless World functions. By using our intellect, us sorcerers would link up these separatews and use them nimbly to actualize and alter the meaning of our world’s existence. That is knowledge.”


    “Oh?”


    The King of the Snowthreads made a confused expression. Within the cerulean Ice me, it condensed the Life Essence using the Ice Energy while pondering on what Grimm had just exined.


    Although it was not exposed to the sorcerers’ knowledge system of thews, as a World Lord, its ability to see through the essence of things was much higher than ordinary creatures.


    Two dayster.


    As this particr group of Acraepoid survivors was too small, it only took them two effortless days toplete the condensation process of the collected Life Essences.


    After consolidating the Life Essences of all the Acraepoids in its body, the King of the Snowthreads then spit them out into three balls of Ice mes. It then merged these three Ice mes into one single ball before disintegrating it into itself. Gradually, the mes werepressed into the shape of one-third of an Ice Top.


    Grimm’s eyes widened...


    This half-formed Ice Top possessed greater research value than aplete Ice Top!


    ***


    Four monthster, under Grimm’s apaniment, the King of the Snowthreads had arrived at the Lightglow Kingdom’s borders.


    Looking at the three Void Fortresses in the distance as well as the Spectral Mist perception barrier which was long destroyed by his fellow sorcerers, thoughts flowed uncontrobly into Grimm’s mind.


    So the location of this world’s World Core was here all along.


    At the center of the three Void Fortresses was a towering volcano, high and mighty. Vermillion mes spewed out from the volcano’s vent. Floating high up in the sky above it was a massive rock simrly red in color. Elemental fluctuations and the world’sws orbited around this massive rock as if they were its satellites.


    At this moment, the Abyssal Dark Clouds had gathered from all over to form a head shape which looked down at Grimm and co menacingly.


    The expeditionary Demon-Hunter Sorcerers’ control over this territory implied the utter destruction of the Infernal Spirit World’s guardians and from here, emerged a new generation of Abyssal World Guardians who were made up of Abyssal Messengers like Grimm himself.


    Whilemanding an army of Abyssal soldiers, Grimm scoured the continent in which the great cmity had swept across, where he summoned the will of the Abyssalws and took out the Acraepoid Nobles as well as multiple Infernal Spirit World Guardians who fought with the blessings of their native world’sws.


    Dotting the skies were Voidships, sorcerer army formations as well as soul ves that flew around the World Core.


    Bone Bell Stigmata Sorcerer, Dark Realms Stigmata Sorcerer, and Enigmatic Stigmata Sorcerer were continuously polluting the World Core using the Abyssal invasion technique which was discovered and introduced by the Dawn Sages back in the Sorcerers World. At the same time, they had received a new series of information which was limited only to the upper echelons.


    Grimm, who was leading a huge army formation, naturally attracted the attention of the sorcerer army stationed here.


    He was receiving the highest form of respect as ten Voidships, apanied by a ten-thousand-strong army of sorcerers, weed his arrival.


    Part of the reason for this show of force was out of respect for Grimm, who was leading such a huge army. The other part of the reason was because of the presence of a World Lord, the King of the Snowthreads!


    Buzz...


    A mechanical bee flew to Grimm’s nk and with a “click”, the bay door was opened up, revealing two great Level-3 sorcerers inside.


    “Sorcerer Grimm, the great Bone Bell Stigmata Sorcerer has called for you.”


    “Understood. Sorry for bothering the two of you, respected sorcerers.”


    Grimm flew down from the giant Abyssal monster’s back, with Millie following behind, and entered the body of the mechanical bee. Once again, the bay door of the mechanical bee “clicked” shut.


    In Grimm’s perception, it seemed that the closer he got to the World Core, the stronger his control over the Abyssal Summoning abilities. This odd power system was too terrifying to face against in battle.


    The Abyssal World, which possessed this power truly deserved their victory over the ancient Sorcerers World.


    Seven dayster.


    The King of the Snowthreads was personally escorted by Bone Bell Stigmata Sorcerer as they left the Infernal Spirit World through the Void Fortress’ World Transmission Array. Grimm, on the other hand, bid his farewell to the remaining two Stigmata Sorcerers before setting forth with his army back to the First Acraepoid Kingdom.


    It was time to wipe out the final hope of the Infernal Spirit World and write the conclusion to their Demon-Hunting expedition once and for all.
