Age of Adepts

Time Freeze, also known as Time Stop, was definitely at the level of high-grade spells.

However, how could Mary have mastered such top-tier spacetime magic as a vampire? Greem quickly realized his mistake after a moment of surprise.

It wasn’t actually Time Freeze; it was a strange spell whose effect was similar to Time Freeze. When Mary started to burn her Spirit to boost her pace, reflexes, and mental speed forcefully, her personal speed crossed a certain threshold that allowed her to obtain this strange power.

That said, this magical effect appeared to exhaust her Spirit tremendously. Mary had lost half of her Spirit from just escaping Greem’s Coldflame trap. If it weren’t for her Spirit increasing immensely from her Third Grade advancement, the exhaustion from the move would have been enough to empty her Spirit and cause her to fall unconscious.

“Can you freely control this state of yours?” Greem couldn’t help but ask softly.

“It’s difficult!” Mary’s Spirit had shriveled after half of it was exhausted. She appeared to be lethargic even while answering Greem’s question, “When I enter that state, I can clearly feel everything around me suddenly slow down, moving at a snail’s pace. Meanwhile, my…my Spirit starts to burn rapidly.”

“What about your control over your body?” Greem immediately cut to the critical issue.

It was only the difficulty of raising adepts and having them advance that caused them to lag in terms of developmental speed. It made them incapable of competing with the other three factions.

However, the Crimson Clan’s roots were in the World of Adepts. As such, the status of adepts was immovable, regardless of the circumstance.

This organization of native adepts might be weak, but they still possessed the mainstream ruling position within the clan.

It didn’t matter whether it was Crimson Majordomo Gargamel, Meryl of the White Tower, or even Deserra in the Goblin Plane; they all held authority in the Crimson Clan despite their low grades and insignificant power.

Naturally, the one that stood behind them all was Greem, the legendary Third Grade fire adept!

Though Greem had rarely left Fire Throne for the past few years for the sake of protecting Mary, his power was apparent for all to see. Even though it hadn’t been long since he advanced to Third Grade, he was considered one of the most powerful Third Grade adepts of the Central Region due to that powerful elementium magical machine of his.

The Crimson Clan had also run into some crises over the years.

However, ever since the Crimson Clan brought the Fourth Grade metallic golem dragon back from their lesser plane, all of these dangers and hidden currents vanished quickly.

What was real power in the World of Adepts?

Fourth Grade!

As long as a clan was protected by a Fourth Grade adept, it meant that they would never collapse for all eternity. No one would dare to challenge their dignity.

It was the same even when it was a Fourth Grade magical machine golem dragon!

For a moment, even those famous Fourth Grade adepts couldn’t help but cast their attention toward this rising Crimson Clan.
