"Wild Instinct Level Two, initiate!"

Bzzt! An invisible gush of air started to spread from his body into all directions. Grimm turned into a three-meter tall boney creature as his frame began to expand slowly. He seemed to be able to resist the pressure from the Darkness Pool as well as not being completely frozen.

Huh?

No!

He could resist the crus.h.i.+ng pressure of the Darkness Pool not because he had become stronger! The pressure from the Darkness Pool began to dissipate, or more accurately, it became docile!

Grimm was still in shock after initiating his level two Wild Instinct spell. The power he held was beyond the control of his body. Therefore, he still could not figure out what had taken place.

The boney creature tried twisting his neck. A huge piece of ice began to shatter before becoming frozen again. He turned back and looked at his bone spikes that were over twenty centimeters long.

So that was what it was!

Underneath the Mask of Truth, Grimm's pair of eyes squinted as if he had understood something.

It was the aura of the Darkborne Infernal G.o.d that was caught up in the bone spikes that had caused a reaction with the Darkness Pool. The aura of Darkborne, it seemed, had an inner working of infernal energy to it.

To soldier on?

Or to give up now?

Grimm and Little Myna's s.p.a.cetime coordinated access powers could be used to escape from any sealing spell as long as they had not been sealed off at the same time and also if their difference in level was not that wide.

Although the scale of this ice seal was huge, it was not controlled by a sentient consciousness. Therefore, it would be easy for Grimm to escape from it.

The only condition is that Grimm must remain conscious to perform the spell.

But once Grimm had been completely sealed by the ice, with his consciousness included, he would black out and be unable to perform his spell.

Layers of azure-colored ice crystal began covering Grimm's body again. He let out a sigh as he was about to escape the ice seal with the s.p.a.cetime coordinated access talent that he shared together with Little Myna when suddenly, he felt something that was strangely familiar within the Darkness Pool.

This…

Grimm learned that the ma.s.sive Darkness Pool no longer tried to crush him like before. Instead, it became very friendly towards him. He felt that all he needed was a catalyst before he could experience the true power of this mysterious natural law.

In the cultivation journal, Vulkshy's Infernal Curse, that was penned by Vulkshy himself, it was mentioned that those who practiced in accordance with the manual to become a World Lord would have a chance of communicating with the mysterious energy.

The mysterious energy that the Infernal G.o.d Vulkshy had once communicated with was obviously the natural law of the Darkness Pool!

After Infernal G.o.d Vulkshy had fallen, his body was transported back to what was once the Capital of Vulkshy Kingdom, now located within the ancient sealing formation underneath the Dark Destroyer Kingdom. The mysterious Darkness Pool energy that he once wielded had now become a part of the natural law in the underground cavern of this Infernal Spirit World.

Now that Grimm had the key to unlocking this mysterious Vulkshy's Infernal Curse, all he needed was that catalyst!

The catalyst was obviously the infernal energy. It was the crystal core that remained in the Acraepoids after they had perished!

Grimm's pair of eyes were flickering underneath the Mask of Truth. He was a.n.a.lyzing his surroundings at blazing speed.

If he had put on an all-out resistance, it would take at most three minutes before he became completely frozen. To conjure up an infernal energy crystal core using Darkborne's aura from his Level-Two Wild Instinct in three minutes?

"The mission's impossi...ble...huh? Hang on!"

Beneath the Mask of Truth, Grimm's pair of eyes lit up with surprise. He had thought of another possibility, the Savage Flame Giant!

The Savage Flame Giant was once created using the Dark Destroyer Infernal G.o.d's blood as a catalyst. Its dark flames were similar to Darkborne's aura from Grimm's Level-Two Wild Instinct. It too used an inner working of the infernal energy. Grimm once named it the Greedy Flame.

At the same time, another one of the Savage Flame Giant's catalysts was the ancient Lava Giant's crystal core found in the Shadow World!

The infernal energy was a combination of flame and soul that occured as the concoction devoured more souls. It was also developed through some of the Acraepoids' own realizations.

If he could perfectly meld the Savage Flame Giant's black and gold flames together into the crystal core, would it not be the crystal core that had the sweet scent of death that represented the infernal energy, found within all Acraepoids?
