Age of Adepts

Hierro was the God of Wisdom.

He might not be a particularly significant god, but he held the secrets of the gods in his hands.

There was no doubt that the Libram of Wisdom that he had personally created was a powerful artifact.

After being influenced and charmed by the Libram of Wisdom, Greem had to go into deep meditation to remove the divine power from his Spirit. It was a long and arduous process, but it was very much worth it.

At the very least, Greem’s Spirit had gone from 40 points to 41 points after reading the first page of the Libram! That was his greatest reward from doing so!

After advancing to Fourth Grade, increasing Spirit had become very difficult. This fact was well-known to adepts.

After the multiple bloody battles in Morrian Plane and the stimulation of the divine power in the Libram of Wisdom, Greem’s Spirit had finally increased by one point. It wasn’t hard to imagine that, in the near future, the Libram of Wisdom would bring about a decent improvement to his Spirit.

However, Greem’s soul origin was still recovering from his injury. An excessive burden on his Spirit was not conducive to this recovery process.

A small cluster of shadow was slowly moving through the crimson cave.

It was the only path into Fire Throne and the region where the fire creatures and magical machines were most concentrated. Anyone that wished to infiltrate Fire Throne had to make it past this path.

Karin was a young witch with brown skin, blue eyes, and a terrific figure. The tight-fitting black dragon leather armor she wore further emphasized her beauty. Black mist cloaked her body as she slowly moved through the shadows of the magical machines.

The magical machines in Fire Cave were stationed as guards and defended every corridor and cave. Meanwhile, the fire creatures were patrols and wandered in the winding cave.

Whenever they found an invader, all of the guards would be alerted, and they would eliminate the enemy with brutal firepower.

Karin was only a Third Grade Dark Witch, and the tower she was trying to infiltrate was a private tower belonging to the Fourth Grade legendary fire adept.

Such an action would not be wise in any other situation.

However, she could not refuse the stern instructions from the clan headquarters. She could only grit her teeth and commit to this terrifying, impossible mission!

She had already done her research on the legendary fire adept Greem before she came here.

The more she found out, and the more detailed the information she obtained, the more scared she became.

He was not an ordinary newly advanced Fourth Grade adept!

His reputation, his results in combat– all of it had been written down with the blood of his enemies.

The terrifying part was that the clan had sent her here to infiltrate the tower on an unimaginable task. She was to investigate the whereabouts of a certain thing and steal it– the Orb of Shadows. That was what horrified Karin the most and struck her with utter disbelief!

The Orb of Shadows. Wasn’t that the most important origin treasure of the Dark Witches? How did it fall into the hands of a seemingly unrelated legendary fire adept in the center of the continent?

Were the authorities at clan headquarters all useless fools? They lost the Orb of Shadows, and still, they did not launch a war against the aggressor?

Furiously cursing at the authorities that sent her here, Karin carefully avoided the fire creatures and specifically traveled through the shadows of the magical machines.

The previous moment, she was hiding beneath the feet of a magical machine, and the next, she was in the shadows of a corridor.

Perhaps the slight energy flux from Shadowstalking had attracted the fire creature’s attention. A particularly large and ferocious Blazing Guardian stopped in the corridor and glared with its smoldering eyes. It looked around in confusion.

Karin, who was hiding in the shadow of the ceiling, became nervous. Her pretty eyes narrowed and she restrained all killing intent, evaluating the guard with calm, composed eyes.

Blazing Guardians were not particularly powerful fire creatures. They only had the strength of advanced First Grades!

Karin only needed a flick of her finger to kill a Blazing Guard like this. However, in this environment, any action would alert all of the enemies. Should she touch this Blazing Guardian, her infiltration mission would fail.

Karin became frustrated upon thinking about the punishment she would receive in the clan for having failed her mission. Even her aura started to become unstable.

Fortunately, the difference in power between her and the Blazing Guardian was simply too significant. When dedicating all her strength to hiding, the chances of being discovered was impossibly slim.

Thus, after discovering nothing out of the ordinary, the Blazing Guardian casually walked out and continued to stroll in this area where the fire elementium was denser than usual.

Karin couldn’t help but let out a breath of relief. She continued on her journey!
