The Wizarding Age

Grimm had a good sleep in the Iron City.

To be honest, with the physique and mental strength of a 5th-level wizard, he would not feel the slightest bit of fatigue even if he stayed up all night for decades. But this time he had to lie down and rest.

The reason was simple.

The huge mental strength that suddenly stretched out needed to be re-adapted to the current body, and this undoubtedly took a certain amount of time.

In Grimm's mind, the running-in time projected by the chip was: eleven years, three months and eight days... and this was the best running-in period obtained with chip-assisted optimization.

In a way, Grimm is now comparable to those greedy and sleepy dragons. A short nap may sleep through the short life of some races!

So, in a secret room on the negative sixtieth floor of the Iron City, Grimm fell asleep, leaving only the chip still loyally guarding him.

And this sleep lasted for eleven years...

Ding...

With the sound of the chip alarm, Grimm's spiritual consciousness was slightly shaken, and the dormant consciousness began to slowly and persistently recover.

Without considering the attribute bonus of the two artifacts, Grimm's current spiritual power has reached 50 points. Compared with the 49 spiritual attributes of those super-powerful people at the peak level of level 4, Grimm may only be 1 point higher.

And this 1 point difference is the key to turning stone into gold!

When the strength reaches a high level, almost every point of spiritual power increase will increase the combat power assistance in an exponential form. And this 1 point of spiritual power is equivalent to the sum of the strength of the previous 49 points of spiritual power.

This means that from now on, any slight improvement in Grimm's main attribute can greatly enhance his combat power. However, it also shows from one side the difficulty of improving the main attribute.

If it were an ordinary newcomer, it would be extremely rare to be able to extend the witchcraft accessories and witchcraft armor that were searched at level 4 to level 5. Take the two 5th-level artifacts that Grimm has now, for example. At 4th level, they can provide Grimm with a total of 5 points of main attribute bonus.

Now, when Grimm really advances to 5th level, their attribute bonus to mental power has become 2 points.

But even 2 points is a huge help to Grimm now!

It is even enough for this newcomer to immediately surpass those "old men" who have been promoted for less than a thousand years.

Of course, compared with the 52-point mental power attribute, Grimm's other attributes can be called horrible, and only the physical fitness can exceed 30 points. And this is the effect that Grimm has achieved after he has obtained some physical fitness bonus after possessing the blood of the star beast.

Otherwise, most of the newly promoted 5th-level rule wizards have data below 20 points in strength, physical fitness and agility.

Although as a rule wizard, Grimm's battles are mainly based on long-range fire magic bombardment, and he rarely considers close combat. However, considering that most enemies in the future will have excellent magic resistance, it is easy for a single elemental specialization to put oneself in a certain embarrassing situation.

Therefore, try to improve the overall quality of the body so that there are not so many shortcomings. At the same time, work hard to study the advanced application of the rules of fire to make his attack more sharp and more difficult to resist.

This is what he should do most in the hundreds of years since he came to the outer domain!

As for the work of exploring the outer domain, finding resources, and searching for knowledge, it must be done after the completion of the running-in of one's own combat power.

According to the information Grimm has learned, there are more than a dozen level 5 wizards in the Exodar camp where he and the Iron City are currently located. A considerable number of them are not good at fighting, so they rarely step out of the camp to travel and search in the outer star sea.

The resources and knowledge they need can only be completed by relying on the simple and primitive trading market inside the camp. This will undoubtedly greatly slow down their witchcraft research process, but it is more secure than those wizards who have been immersed in the depths of the star sea for many years.

Which one is better or worse depends on personal opinion!

Therefore, although Grimm had just arrived, he had actually surpassed those 5th-level ‘old men’ who lived in the camp with the 2 main attribute bonuses brought by the two artifacts.

Closing his eyes and slowly sensing the surging flame energy in his body, Grimm could sense that every strand of them had been stained with a layer of gold. Although he could not completely reach the level of regular flames, he also possessed some of the magical power of regular flames.

More importantly, the important internal organs and organs in his body had become different from before. The flesh and blood were darker and stronger, and the tangled blood vessels and tendons were thicker and stronger. Every time the flame energy surging in the body like a tide came in and out, it would make them more condensed and compact, and more heavy.

Many bones had already shown signs of crystallization, and the tiny red crystals with spots replaced the fragile bone grains, becoming the main material for constructing the skeleton frame of Grimm's body.

These crystals echoed and resonated with the flame energy flowing beside him, showing extremely strong melting and fire resistance characteristics. This means that the greater the intensity of the flame energy, the more active the crystals will be, and the stronger the physical defense and elemental resistance will be.

However, after this special transformation, Grimm's weight has exceeded one ton, and the strength and density of his flesh and blood have reached a shocking level!

Grimm slowly stretched his body and limbs, and his bones and joints made crackling sounds all over his body. A powerful force surged rapidly in his body, giving him the illusion that he could tear mountains apart.

Grimm raised his right hand and admired it upside down in front of his eyes.

In his mind, the dense waterfall of data projected by the chip filled his eyes.

This sense of power is not an illusion, but real!

Under the perspective and scanning of the chip, the flesh and blood on Grimm's right hand gradually became transparent, and the muscles, tendons, blood vessels, and the blood and flame energy flowing in the blood vessels were clearly visible.

Golden hand bones, golden blood, golden flame energy...

And when Grimm's mind moved, a large amount of flame energy poured into his right hand, and everything here changed subtly and magically.

The powerful flame energy and the golden hand bones and blood of the right hand interacted and vibrated with each other, deriving layers of golden ripples that could not be seen by the naked eye. The golden ripples were so frequent that the power penetrated the flesh and blood, forming a special flame force field protection within half a meter around the right hand.

Grimm stretched out his index finger and lightly drew it in the air, and the once indestructible void cracked into black cracks. The fine space fragments passed through Grimm's right hand like a blade, but did not damage his skin at all, and were directly bounced off by the flame force field protection.

Space fragments... its penetration and cutting power are second to none in the plane!

Now even it can't hurt Grimm's flesh and blood, which shows that the strength of this flame force field protection has exceeded the limit of the plane's power.

Grimm took out a strange dagger made of black wrought iron, plated with fine gold, and enchanted with sharpness and magic penetration effects.

He used the dagger to lightly scratch his right hand a few times, leaving only a few dark red marks, but did not hurt his flesh and blood. It seems that this flame protection force field can also block physical attacks.

Grimm added a little more strength, and the tip of the dagger pressed down the skin of his right hand a little, but still did not cut it. At this time, the epidermis of Grimm's right hand was as tough as dragon leather armor, and it was impossible to hurt his skin without a +3 level enchanted weapon.

Grimm hesitated for a moment and dispersed the flame energy in his right hand. Then, the invisible flame protection field disappeared immediately.

Grimm exerted force, and the +2 level enchanted dagger finally broke through the skin of his right hand, leaving a 30-centimeter-long bloody wound on the back of his hand, revealing the dark red flesh and blood tissue underneath.

Golden blood oozes out of the wound and stains the tip of the enchanted dagger, and immediately there is a hissing sound of metal corrosion and burning.

Grimm picked up the dagger and was surprised to find that the dagger blade was already pitted and became like a sawtooth. The blade was even red, showing signs of softening and melting.

It was just the instinctive counterattack of Grimm's flesh and blood that almost scrapped this +2 enchanted dagger.

And in just a moment, the huge bloody wound on Grimm's right hand began to close. Fifteen seconds later, only a dark red scar remained on the back of his right hand, and the wound had disappeared.

And after 27 seconds, even this scar had disappeared.

The entire back of the right hand became smooth and pink again, with no sign of any damage.

Grimm nodded with satisfaction, and took out strong acid, strong corrosive, and various strange solutions to test his body strength one by one.

Finally, the chip produced a more detailed and comprehensive physical examination report!

Because he had not undergone special body refining and tempering, Grimm's physique was very ordinary. It was only by relying on the accumulation of high-level resources in the past and the nourishment of the blood of star beasts that he reached the current 35 points.

In the plane, this physique is enough to rival those 3rd-level dragons.

But outside the domain, among all the 5th-level wizards, this physique can only be regarded as lower-middle. It is stronger than those rule wizards, but is far behind the body refining wizards, blood wizards and 5th-level monsters.

According to the chip, without the flame energy bonus, Grimm's body can only resist magic weapons below level 2. With the protection of flame bonus, it can resist magic weapons below level 3.

If the rule protection of the double artifacts is added, magic weapons of level 4 and below will no longer have any effect on his body. Only super-level weapons of level 5 and above can cause him real damage visible to the naked eye.

As for physical recovery, Grimm is only in the middle.

If the enemy's attack does not have any witchcraft effects and rule characteristics, even if it is a limb or body injury, he can completely recover within half a day. It just needs to consume a certain amount of energy reserves.

And Grimm now has the Fire God Pearl stored in his body, and the flame energy will never be scarce. Even if he is now sealed in a different dimension without any energy, relying on the flame energy provided by the Fire God Pearl, Grimm can continue to maintain the high-intensity combat of this body.
