Mystery Moon Real, Level 7 Celestial Tower
“What is happening to realm core?” asked the beautiful woman, with hair that looked like they were born out of moonlight.
She is looking at the egg-shaped silvery crystal in front of her, which is slowing gently. Evert day, it would glow a couple of seconds, before stopping.
It had been happening for a month, with no reason or a pattern behind it.

To which she shook her head. She had been here for one and half months; not taking a step away, even for a second, and even after that, she was not able to find the reason.
“Do we ask for help?” asked the young-looking man at her help. “No!” said the woman immediately, and her voice was resolute.
The two men knew better than the mention of the topic further. They stayed with her for some time, before disappearing, while the woman stayed and continue staring realm core, which begin to glow again.
…
“Finally, on the other side,” I said as I looked at the huge alv river; one of the most dangerous things I had seen in the ruin.
I had spent one and a half days traveling by it, before crossing the natural bridge; the journey, that would have taken me less than a minute to do. If. I flew over it.
Though doing that would have been a grave mistake.
There is a clear warning on all the maps that one shouldn’t attempt to cross it unless they are a peak Sovereign and even then, they should be careful.
I had truly not believed the warning until I saw a Peak Sovereign bird getting swallowed in a single bite by a giant monster that came out of the river.
The monster was also a Peak Sovereign, but despite that, it swallowed the bird and took it inside the river.
The bird did not come out; it had simply disappeared.
Crossing the river means I am only one and a half days away from the first exit. The second one is further and belongs to Grimm; this one did not. At least this is what all the Grimms are staying.
There is a prime chance that I have to check it. It is the only lead I have.
I will personally not go there. It will be Nero’s job. It is extremely dangerous, but is the only one who could achieve, without being detected, if it is a trap.
I will travel till mid-day, before stopping at an intersection near the route, which leads to the mist valley, while Nero will go check the exit.
If it turned out to be a trap, then mist valley will be a new destination.
It is not like the mist valley has an exit, but it is where a huge number of Sovereign are moving, despite it being an extremely dangerous place. Only in a place like that, I will be able to find a person who knows the exit.
Our numbers might not be as much as Grimms, but we still have good numbers.
There is a chance some of them would have found it. Even if they didn’t, there would be a lot of Grimms there, who might have an idea about it.
It may seem farfetched, but it is the only idea I have. If the exit turned out to be the burst.
Hun!
Half an hour passed, and I entered another ruined city when Nero sensed the Grimm. It is an Initial Sovereign, that Nero had killed in a second; it didn’t take even a second.
He just appeared behind it and swallowed the Grimm.
I am not surprised. He is growing stronger and now, killing such Grimms has become a child’s play for him.
Another hour passed when he informed me of the monster, but I did not hide. Just moved a little away from the monster and kept moving.
As my strength increased, so has the power of my abilities. Not to mention, I am improving them daily with the data, I am collecting every day.
The stealth method is essential for my survival here, and it had become a kind of great.
As long as I am more than half a mile away from the Mid-Sovereign. I didn’t hide. Though I will hide from any monster that was above the Mid-Sovereign stage.
Time passed as I traveled to the ruined city; I like them a lot. Here, there are many places where one could hide.
Though, there are also the disadvantages, like resources. In the forest, there are more resources, that in the ruined city. Despite it being swallowed by plants.
Even hundreds of thousands of years couldn’t change all things.
I am not much worried about resources. I have so many that I don’t know what I will do with them. Most importantly, thousands of times more resources in killing Grimms than collecting them.
Though I still collect them and even now, the strings are moving around me, collecting every resource that is within a hundred meters of me.
All resources are important. I may have more resources than I know what to do with them, but there might come a time, when I will need to use every resource, I have to survive.
Besides, it never hurts to have more resources.
Hun!
A few more minutes passed when I sensed the Grimm. It is behind me, and it has a bloodline.
Immediately, I stopped in my tracks and moved toward the Grimm. The bloodline Grimms are important to me, especially now that I have come so close to the exit.
If it is not a trap, then I will walk through it and, as I had said before, I like to be at the limit when I do that.
I am not at the limit; I am still a little distance away from achieving the limit.
Five and a half minutes later, I reached the Grimm. It is a Mid-Sovereign and looking at its aura; it seemed to have leveled up, not long ago.
I am a little disappointed by that. I would have preferred a strong one, which is challenging to kill, but also the one who will provide a lot of bloodlines energy.
I looked at it for a couple of seconds, before finally moving toward it, at full speed.
The burst is roaring at 100% and I am harnessing my whole power, but not using it all, keeping it on hold.
It sensed me immediately and turned before a powerful aura burst out of its body and a grin appeared on its face.
“Tasty human,” said the Ratman and moved toward me and a moment later, we were against each other.
“Die, human!” It said and swung its thin long sword at me, and I swung mine toward it, which had about the same power as its.
Our swords were closer and closer to each other, and soon, there was only an inch of distance remained between them. When a grin appeared on my face.
Hun!
It sensed something and a powerful aura roared out of its body, but it was already too late.
Puch!
A second later, I was in front of it, and my sword was in its chest, while it looked at me in frozen shock.
