Chapter 214: Prism Fortress

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

A year later.

Over the sky, the Ice Phoenix was carrying Millie as it slowly circled around the sky. It was keeping watch for pockets of guerilla Amonro forces as it let out a shriek a couple of times.

On the ground, on top of the peak, a Bright Sorcerer’s technical group made up of thirteen people were setting up defenses. They were gentle, patient, had great teamwork, and were very detailed in their work.

Grimm used his super-strong constitution and attracting-opposing forces to lift up heavy stones to finish setting up defenses as soon as possible.

Hundreds of slave monsters were resting on the faraway grounds. These creatures who had been following the sorcerers in their expedition had slowly familiarized themselves with the unique laws of the Shadow World. They were starting to blend in, becoming the top members of the food chain, showing off their super adaptability and vitality.

Three thousand meters to the west lies the boundary outside the layers of shadow clouds, where the scorching sun was always shining. Temperatures rise dramatically over there; not a conducive place for flesh creatures to live in the long term.

Six months ago, the Demon-Hunter legion had already cleared out most of the enemies’ rendezvous points in this mid-level shadow land. They had also started to set up defenses around the perimeter, intent on building a solid support base for the demon hunters in this mid-level shadow region.

At the peak of the boulder mountain.

The defenses that were being set up on top of the hill was known as a Prism Fortress.

The thirteen Bright Sorcerers were continuously plugging in conducting molds into the interior walls of the fortress using a special structural magic array. The base layer of the fortress was made from fire crystals, which were abundant in the world. When stacked together, they form the energy source of Prism Fortress.

A gold energy stone sits on top of the fortress. Its roundness and smoothness were unparalleled. Its brilliance energy was ample and overbearing.

Logical deductions would suggest the class of Prism Ray projected from the fortress had a maximum attack power of around two thousand five hundred degrees. It could be focused into one single beam or multiple rays could be shot out at once.

The defensive capabilities come from a single active high-powered sorcerer’s barriers and battle magic arrays that are spread across all directions.

The battle magical arrays were conventional methods of defense. The single active Sorcerer Barrier was their last line of defense with a power level of five thousand degrees. It could be sustained over a period of six hourglasses. It was used to protect the structures until a voidship shows up for support.

At this moment around the perimeters of the mid-level shadow region, there were hundreds of prism fortresses being set up simultaneously to form the Demon-Hunters’ defenses.

After six months of working through days and nights, the prism fortress that was overseen by Grimm and Millie was finally coming to the last stage of testing. Once they were confirmed to be able to send and receive communications from the void fortress, as well as making sure there were no errors in the various defensive and offensive capabilities, their work in the dark demon hunters’ expeditions would come to an end. They would be able to choose free missions or missions with monetary rewards.

Raising his head, Grimm watched as a Bright Sorcerer carefully completed the final step of plugging in the prism stone.

Buzz...

A synchronized sound produced from the flow of energy. The prism stone shone ever more brilliantly.

The completed structure of the prism fortress had a base like an overturned bowl. It had a maximum diameter of thirty meters. This formed the energy base of the prism fortress. On top of the base was a towering round column. At its peak was the core energy projectile launcher, the prism stone. The round column tower had a diameter of a mere three meters. It had a height of a hundred and thirty meters.

After an hourglass had passed, a layer of core elemental rings of light gradually converged at the peak of the fortress. They were pretty and colorful, a huge contrast to the monotonous gray surrounding them.

This meant that the prism fortress was finally ready to commence operations.

Buzz...

The Ice Phoenix flew in for an approach. Millie slowly descended, while Grimm flew upward from the ground. The two of them, along with the thirteen Bright Sorcerers gathered at the peak of the prism fortress as they watched a rare intelligent mechanical marionette controlling the core device of the prism fortress.

The first thing was to attempt to communicate with the void fortress.

Bzz...bzzz...

After a bunch of static white noises from the energy interference, a blurred figure started appearing on the prism stone. Moments later, the figure grew clearer. It was a bright-looking female sorcerer. Her hair was blonde and curly. She had fair skin and looked absolutely stunning.

“This is prism fortress number one-one-two. We have completed construction and had succeeded in receiving communications from the battle command of the void fortress.” The head of the thirteen technical bright sorcerers proceeded to update their mission report to the bright female sorcerer.

The blonde-haired sorcerer in the prism stone lowered her head to take down some notes for a brief moment. She then turned around to report the mission status to another crystal ball before turning back to face the crowd of sorcerers. “The battle command of the void fortress had completed their transcription. Commencing test of prism tower one-one-two’s capabilities. Battle command will proceed with detailed mission briefing to determine if the mission is accomplished.”

“Yes.”

After the technical head had replied in brief, the prism stone control was passed over to the intelligent mechanical marionette.

The intelligent mechanical marionette was like a middle-aged man trying out new clothes. Its head was slightly big and had a total of six arms. It seemed like a product specifically designed by the sorcerers to handle the prism fortress’s defenses.

One and a half kilometers away, a Soul Slave had already moved a huge boulder, which was solid and over ten meters in height in place.

At this precise moment, a gold beam of bright light flashed across. At the sound of an explosion, the earth shook. The huge boulder was blown into pieces. The shrapnels flew across the sky. A huge cloud of dust spread around the area. There were even traces of crystallized glass on the surface.

Almost immediately, twenty-five beams of lights which were less bright shot out once again from the prism stone. Out of the twenty-five rock targets, twelve were disintegrated, six of them had insufficient penetrating power, seven shots went wide while the remaining ones missed their targets.

After that, the bright technical sorcerers began testing the energy supply rate of the base, the safety of the active sorcerer’s barriers, as well as any missing battle magic arrays...

After three hourglasses had passed.

The image of the blonde-haired female sorcerer in the prism stone smiled. “Good, battle command officially announces the complete construction of prism fortress one-one-two. Mission accomplished, you may now take a rest for some time while you await further orders.”

The thirteen bright technical sorcerers joyously exchanged words. Grimm and Millie each took out their mission scrolls. All thirteen bright technical sorcerers signed their names on the mission scrolls.

Moments later.

After the bright technical sorcerers had temporarily parted ways with Grimm and Millie, they summoned the hundreds of slave monsters that were scattered across the prism fortress to return to the void fortress. These slave monsters belonged to the slave legions of the Stigmata Sorcerers. After the large-scale wars were over, they went on to protect the bright technical sorcerers who needed to move around but were weaker in battle.

Grimm and Millie looked at each other.

Millie’s silver hairs were waving in the wind. Her loose pure-white sorcerer’s robe was spotless. The glimmering spot of crystal on her forehead was striking. Her flawless eyes silently fell toward Grimm in front, who was well-built, calm, mysterious, yet rational, as she softly asked,” So... do you plan to continue your research, or take a free mission?”

For Dark Sorcerers, free missions meant sneaking behind enemy lines and do whatever they wish in order to become the evil black sorcerers of the world.

Grimm’s long, blonde hair covered his loose-fitting sorcerer’s robe. His face was covered by the gray-white colored Mask of Truth. He quietly stood with his magic staff at his hand. Both his eyes gazed toward the elemental light rings on the peak of the prism tower as he contemplated.

Some time later.

Grimm lowered his head and spoke in a deep voice. “I’ll probably continue my research. I found some interesting things in this world previously. I’ve only done some preliminary studies, there could be a discovery soon. As for the free missions...I’ll wait after second wave attack from this world to see if I could get any surprising results.”

Millie nodded her head. She knew Grimm would give such an answer. She turned around to fly toward the Ice Phoenix as she gently said,” Sometimes, I really envy you. It seems like your eyes are always filled with clues of knowledge, waiting for you to discover. After I have left my father’s guidance, I’ve never had another breakthrough, as if I’m isolated from the world.”

Millie gave out a long sigh. The Ice Phoenix flew far away to the outer bounds of the shadows.

Passing through the endless Crimson Sun World, the outside world of the shadow grounds, the unfamiliar world, as well as many regions of the shadow world lived the many Amonros, which were still resistant to the sorcerers’ will.

Grimm was slightly startled.

Envious of him? Clues of knowledge?

Grimm felt a bit strange. These kinds of research, didn’t they begin from sorcerer’s apprenticeship? Why would Millie say such strange things?

Normally, for a sorcerer, his foundation would start from his apprenticeship. An apprentice would then gradually explore outward to find deeper laws and principles of truth that were suited to him.

No point in overthinking. Grimm didn’t think anymore of it. Using nature force, he flew toward the direction where he had sensed Little Myna and the Water Crystal Turtle.

Grimm had already set up a temporary laboratory in the underground passage where he had found the turtle near the lake six months ago. He was conducting research on the Chimeras, the lightning mirror, as well as the specimens of the creatures that lived in the Shadow World.

Since every Dark Sorcerer was independent, there wasn’t much contact with others during their growth. Therefore Grimm was unable to understand why...

Too many sorcerer-apprentices who picked up the magic tome for the first time, after learning their first spell from the tome were impatient and thirst for more powerful tomes. They wanted to learn higher-level spells to master their own destinies within the cruel fate of apprenticeship.

This was the real lives of a base level sorcerer apprentice, but spells do not equal knowledge.

Spells were merely a summary of knowledge that were compiled by other sorcerers in accordance with the understanding of themselves at some point in time, and the suitable conditions which allowed them to develop themselves. This knowledge was recorded to become a magical tome.

The magical tomes were merely physical interpretations of the laws of phenomena.

Knowledge formed the bridge of communications, the formulae, the clues, between the phenomena and their underlying principles.

Therefore, too many sorcerer-apprentices, due to their thirst for more spells, lost their spirit of discovery, which formed the base of foundational knowledge. Until they become official sorcerers, the curious and colorful superficial world no longer arouse their interests. They were therefore unable to learn deeper laws and principles from the superficial world. This led them to a narrow path of destructive cycles.
