Age of Adepts

Billis' life was extremely miserable.

Ever since he made up his mind to transform himself into a worm body, his thoughts, hobbies, aesthetics, and life have all undergone earth-shaking changes.

Delicious food, beautiful girls, charming ladies, extraordinary power...all of these can no longer attract him at all. The meaning of his life has been tampered with by the evil and twisted worm mother beyond recognition. Except for those high-energy flesh and blood that still have a trace of warmth, he has completely lost interest in other things.

His uniqueness also made Billis, the worm witch, the most unique guy in the entire Crimson family.

Performing family tasks independently, sneaking into the Black Forest alone, living alone in a hidden residence... Even in the family witch tower, Billis is often alone, and almost never has any contact with outsiders .

But even so, the fearsome reputation of the worm witch Billis is still widely spread!

His ferocious and ugly insect body, his ferocious and brutal insect army, and his elusive traces... All these arouse outsiders' curiosity and fear of him.

As a veteran core wizard of the Crimson family, Billis is undoubtedly one of the best in the Tier 2 group, and even once became the core force of the Crimson family's foreign war. However, with the gradual rise of the Crimson family, a large number of high-level wizards began to emerge, and the family's core combat power has also increased from level 2 to level 3, and there are even signs of extending to level 4 now.

Under such circumstances, the worm witch Billis, who had almost exhausted his talent potential, gradually began to 'fall behind'!

First, sporadic Tier 3 vampires appeared under Mary. Immediately afterwards, even Meryl, who had zero combat power, miraculously transformed into a red dragon witch.

Level 2 Beginner... Level 2 Intermediate... Level 2 Advanced...

Seeing that Meryl has rapidly improved step by step, and has now reached the peak of the second level, there is a tendency to jump to the third level in one fell swoop. In addition, even many weak guys in the family that Billis looked down upon very much are now soaring into the sky, tending to catch up with him.

This kind of situation appeared again and again, which naturally deeply stimulated Billis.

For his own sake, and for the uncontrollable restlessness of his heart, Billis also visited Greem secretly, hoping to get a chance to continue to improve from him. It's a pity that Greem was too busy after becoming a Tier 4 wizard. He was so busy that he almost didn't have time to think of a Tier 2 bug witch who was waiting so hard...

Just returned from the depths of the black forest, and expanded his bug army on a small scale. At this time, the worm witch Billis possesses the strength of a second-level advanced level, and the worm army under him is even more terrifying.

There are now as many as 20 mid-level Void Reavers at level 2, over a hundred high-level invisible praying mantises at level 1, and thousands of insect armies that can be driven by him... If it is not "weak" The spirit limited the number of the bug army, and he was able to transform even a small human kingdom into a docile bug swarm.

After returning to the family residence, Billis hid directly in his residence.

He didn't have a wizard apprentice, and he didn't have the task of enlightenment. Apart from the task and residence, he never participated in the communication activities within the family, and it was even more impossible for him to appear in those luxurious banquets that were crowded with people.

It can be said bluntly that in Billis's inner world, becoming stronger and evolving is the whole meaning of his life!

But this time before he fell into dull silence, a bright flame rune appeared in front of his eyes with a piercing sound, and floated there quietly.

Seeing the strange flame rune representing Greem, Billis turned upside down inwardly. Although he didn't know Greem's purpose in summoning him, a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in his heart.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally stretched out his weird insect hand and pressed it on the quietly burning flame rune.

The strange rune civilization was burning with a golden flame, but the moment Billis' insect hand touched it, he didn't feel the slightest burning sensation. The golden flame exploded with a whine, quickly extending from the rune to his arm, and then spreading to his whole body.

Just when Billis was a little puzzled, the light and shadow in front of his eyes flickered as he was wrapped in golden flames, and the space shook. When he woke up again and regained his senses, he realized that the golden flames had all subsided, and he was in an empty and huge hall of flames.

Above the hall, Greem was standing there silently, his black pupils staring at him for a moment.

Here is the Throne of Fire!

Billis understood instantly.

At that moment just now, the legendary patriarch used some kind of magical sorcery to forcibly absorb himself here from the Crimson family residence thousands of miles away.

Billis's weird Zerg compound eyes only glanced at Greem before hurriedly moving away.

Just for a moment, even if the other party didn't force out the power of the flames, it still made Billis feel stinging from the insects' eyes, and had a strange feeling of being burned by the flames.

And as soon as this feeling appeared, Billis couldn't help but feel a little desolate in his heart.

Once upon a time, he was also a powerful 'thug' who followed Greem. But now, even looking directly at the other party's brilliance may cause him to suffer a lot of backlash.

The strength gap revealed in this made him feel depressed!

"Billis, do you know why I called you here today?" Greem's voice was clear and flying, and the words lingered in the hall, faintly resonating with the environment here.

"I don't know! My lord, please tell me..." Billis hurriedly bowed with a look of fear and sincerity.

"Let's see what this is first!" Greem paused with the witch staff in his hand, and a gap was opened in the void in the center of the hall, and half a corpse of a powerful creature slowly floated out from it.

Look at the light blue fine scales, the white holy wings, the terrifying majesty that remains after a long death... Billis swallowed with difficulty, and the miserable green compound eyes of the Zerg stared at this body for a moment. The corpse of a strange monster, an uncontrollable voice roared in the depths of his heart: swallow it... swallow it... swallow it...

This is the corpse of a high-level monster. Although the body was cut open, only half of it remained, but the strange feeling of looking down on all living beings and bullying the world has not diminished in the slightest.

Looking at the wreckage, Billis also frantically guessed in his heart: Is it the 4th or 5th order...

The overpowering and obscure power still remains in the corpse, deterring those who have bad intentions about it. But no matter how powerful this force is, dead things are dead things after all, and everyone can feel the drowsy sadness of death.

"My lord, this is..." Billis's heart was beating wildly, desperately suppressing the restlessness in his heart, he became more and more submissive.

"This is the trophy that the family brought back from the Haisen plane. It is the only indigenous god in the Haisen plane. It was originally level 5, but fell to level 4 due to some special reasons. We strangled it! Greem looked at the trophy indifferently: "I asked you to come to ask you. If... I let you devour half of the corpses of the gods, what level can you reach?"

As if a bolt from the blue had been struck on his forehead, Billis' mental consciousness instantly became disorganized. It took a full quarter of an hour before he tried his best to gather his mind and regain his consciousness.

"My lord, since the corpse of this god has reached level 5, it already has an immortal body. If I can devour it, the talent potential will increase from the current peak of level 2 to level 4. By then , my chance of advancing to Tier 3 will increase to 100%, and my chance of advancing to Tier 4 will also be 60%..."

Greem listened silently, and combined with the perception of the chip, he basically agreed with the judgment of Billis, the worm witch.

The biggest problem for the worm witch Billis is not with himself, but with the worm mother who has merged with him. The worm mother's potential limit used to be an intermediate level 3, but because she was forced to reverse the fusion with the evil insect Entik, her potential was damaged and dropped to the peak of level 2.

Now with this half-devil corpse between the 4th and 5th ranks, it can raise its potential again, which is also within the chip's estimate.

Originally, Greem planned to seek help from those death witches to turn this fetish corpse into a fourth-level high-level undead creature. But under the estimation of the chip, how can a 4th-level advanced undead creature be as good as two future 4th-level subordinates!

That's why Greem opened the warehouse door, intending to use these resources to create a group of loyal and reliable high-level thugs for the Crimson family. Although the worm witch Bliss is not as powerful as the brontosaurus Amus in terms of individual combat power, his unique way of repelling insects and strange fighting methods can produce unexpected effects in many cases.

Switching to another level 4 wizard, he would definitely not dare to waste resources on his subordinates before he was determined to advance. Only Greem, who has absolute confidence in himself, dares to use the strength of a 4th-level junior to spread resources and invest in so many subordinates with 4th-level potential for the Crimson Family in one go.

Although it was a bit wasteful to hand over half of the remains of the gods to the second-level advanced insect witch Billis, but considering the future of the Crimson family, losing a little bit of current benefits is actually nothing.

To control Amus, Greem used the Dragon Soul Contract.

But for the Worm Witch, before Greem could come up with a safe solution, Billis himself couldn't wait to contribute a plan.

Blood Soul + Witch Curse...

At a high level, the effective control methods are often related to the soul.

However, the proposal of blood soul + witch curse proposed by Billis is the product of the combination of two soul control methods. From this point of view, it seems that Billis himself does not reject having his soul controlled by 'outsiders'.

Greem's journey has been smooth and smooth, but how can he feel the despair and pain of the worm witch Billis who has nowhere to go, and his life is better than death. Without Greem's help, and relying solely on Billis' personal strength, he would never find a way out.

Because the items or resources that can solve his problems are not within his current level!

Instead of going nowhere, trapped in the second-level high-level slowly waiting for death, it is better to show yourself to be more valuable and become a loyal thug under the powerful wizard like Greem. And if you want to win the trust of the other party, surrender your soul and give your loyalty is an inevitable thing!

So, it's not that Greem is planning how to control Billis, but that Billis is frantically 'dedicating' himself in order to get Greem to treat him differently.

Even to put it bluntly, as long as Greem let out the wind, there are many guys who are willing to donate their souls in exchange for the possibility of advancing to the fourth level. By then, Billis might not have the opportunity to obtain top-level resources so easily!
