Chapter 296
"Sir Grimm, I have arrived at the Sorcerer World according to my master's command . You have the privilege of summoning me three times . This is the first . Should I slay that fleeing sorcerer?"
"No . "
Grimm quickly responded .
It was bad enough that he wanted to aid a Black Sorcerer to resist arrest . If he were to murder another Demon Hunter, Grimm would be facing thousands of years of imprisonment .
This kind of punishment was unthinkably harsh for any sorcerer .
Standing on top of Thousand-eyed Carcinus' shell, Grimm led the gigantic crab to pursue Kuryak and Roqhiroo .
"But may I interrupt for a moment, Sir Grimm? Although you are bestowed the privilege to summon and command me, I want to remind you that according to the rule of the Marked Friendship Key, I can only stay in Sorcerer World for an hourglass of time . "
Thousand-eyed Carcinus' eight powerful legs repeatedly kicked off the air below it, plunging its massive body forward as it reminded Grimm of the limitation of the keys .
Although the giant crab's flight speed was tremendously fast, Grimm wasn't used to how it moved forward . Being a crab, it lunged itself to the side to move forward . Not only that, it was difficult for it to make sharp turns due to its body structure .
"Understood . One hourglass of time it is . "
They were very close to the edge of the Sorcerer Continent's reign . If they kept on flying onward, they would reach the Black Domain .
That was why Third Ghostpepper bound Hattori the Hidden with his sorcery . If he allowed Kuryak and Roqhiroo to continue on with their slow method of pursuit, the wanted Black Sorcerer would be able to flee into Black Domain .
Grimm wondered… just what kind of history these Demon Hunters had when they did their Foreign Land Conquest together…
A few moments later .
"You… Where's Third Ghostpepper?"
Sitting on her flying pyramid, Kuryak couldn't believe her eyes as she saw Grimm and his titanic crab . Hattori the Hidden and Roqhiroo, who were exchanging blows of spells, too looked towards the massive silhouette that was approaching them .
"How could it be? Third Ghostpepper lost?"
Roqhiroo's eyes turned lifeless as he mumbled to himself .
Whoosh!
Thousand-eyed Carcinus' massive body quickly darted towards them and stood in between them . On top of the giant crab, Grimm was barely able to stand while channeling healing energy to recover his body .
Grimm commanded firmly, "Give up . "
Sitting on her flying pyramid, Kuryak's face turned grim .
She had used enormous effort to trick the other two sorcerers from reaching here . She had even bribed one of them to hold Gabriel off, thinking that she could defeat Third Ghostpepper with her husband and claim Hattori the Hidden's life .
Yet, she miscalculated a few things .
Firstly, Hattori the Hidden was quite skilled in avoiding his enemies and evading arrest . Other than that, his skill in collecting human despair was also top-notch—enabling him to develop his powers tremendously .
Secondly . Third Ghostpepper was too powerful—so powerful that they couldn't defeat him even after she joined forces with her husband .
And lastly… she didn't think there would be Grimm!
Hatred brimming in her eyes, Kuryak extended her palm and summoned her Blue Marked Friendship Key .
"You're Grimm, right? Stay out of this! I've also got a Marked Friendship Key from a Stigmata Sorcerer . If I summon the Aranealycan Mother…"
Grimm burst in laughter before replying, "You wanted to complete your mission and yet didn't want to utilize your Marked Friendship Key earlier . And now you want to threaten me? What a joke you are!"
After finishing his words, he turned toward Hattori . "Hattori the Hidden, you better know your place . Crossing me now will not do you any good . And saving Lefay is an easy task for you . "
"Hehe, Grimm . We Black Sorcerers differ from you people by methodologies . We are all scholars who yearned to unlock the mysteries of life and death . Like you, we too take pride in fulfilling our promise . There is no need for accusation and doubt . "
Indeed, from the perspective of humans, the Black Sorcerers were extremely evil . They were like tumors that grew on Sorcerer World—they entrenched venomous roots so deep into the world that it was exceptionally difficult to rid of them .
Yet, if one were to look from the academician perspective, Black Sorcerers were indeed pursuers of knowledge and truth—not unlike the sorcerers who study machines in the ancient days .
Nodding unwillingly, Grimm replied, "Go . Black Domain is just ahead . Even if she activates her key, I can buy you an hourglass time . "
"Hahaha! An hourglass time is more than enough . Grimm, I'll be waiting for you in the Black Domain . "
Finishing his words, Hattori the Hidden darted onward without looking back .
Gatcha gatcha!
Thousand-eyed Carcinus clipped the air with its pincers .
Grimm looked at Kuryak . "Put away your key . You have no chance . You know that . "
Leading his Cerberus to Kuryak's pyramid, Roqhiroo let out a sigh . "I suppose we'll just have to wait for the next time the Demon Hunter Consociation opens up another vacancy . "
Hmph!
Kuryak grudgingly put away her Marked Friendship Key while staring at Grimm—this pale-mask wearing Demon Hunter who did all he could to aid a Black Sorcerer to flee .
