3345 Four Days
Puch!
I killed the monster; I usually don’t kill a monster, but this hare looked delicious.
I stored the hare in my core, where my clone appeared, and begin skinning it carefully.
It took less than ten minutes to finish with the deer and store its parts in the different places, before going back to the library and working on the inheritance.
I have resumed my journey toward my destination with Nero guiding me.
It had been four days since I have come out of the tunnel, and I am making good time with the help of Nero. Faster than I had thought I would; in three days, I would be out of the mist valley.
I am not only moving fast but also killing a lot of Grimms, and I am not discriminating.
I am killing every level of Grimms. It didn’t matter if Initial Sovereign or High, I will kill it. My target is to reach the limit and I am willing to kill any Grimm to reach there.
Since I have come out of the tunnel, I had killed quite a lot of Grimms, and my strength is increased a lot.
Though I would need to kill even more. The limit is large and to fill it, I will need to kill a large number of Grimms.
Hun!
A few minutes passed, and an image of a pair of Grimms materialized in front of me. For a minute, I got excited. When I saw the color around them and sighed.
They are Nero’s prey, and he went at them directly, and a minute later; they were dead.
I circumvented around another wonder. Staying, as far away from it as possible.
It is a lightning one; just yesterday, I saw a group of sovereigns turning to dust. They were native and had quite a powerful artifact, but even that wasn’t able to save them from turning to dust.
On my journey, I have seen people using these artifacts to harness resources from the wonders.
Many succeeded, but quite a few died.
I have a few such artifacts in my storage. Courtesy of the Grimms, but I had not used them even once.
The resources inside them are extremely precious, but I love my life more than it does.
So, I only store these artifacts, I didn’t use them.
Why should I take such risks? When I could get these resources killing the Grimms. Though, I don’t get a choice on the kind of resources I get; it is a trade of I am willing to have for my safety.
Two hours passed, and I have come across three Grimms and only one of which had a bloodline, which I had killed it.
Hun!
I was moving when the scenery changed in front of me and I Lizardman appeared. Seeing the colors, a smile couldn’t help, but appear on my face.
Immediately, I changed my direction, and seven minutes later; I entered the range of the Grimms.
“I was feeling like having an afternoon snack and you have appeared human,” it said as it looked at me with a hungry smile.
“You should have had it. As of now, you are not going to get that chance,” I said to it.
“Well. I am not merciful enough to let you have your last meal,” I said and threw the stealth artifact and moved toward it.
Burst 100%
It is a High-Sovereign, but powerful kind. Though I am going to kill it and harness its bloodline.
It seemed to have felt the danger, I am representing as the smile on its face disappeared and a powerful aura blasted off its body, forming a bloodline phantom, before it merged into me.
“Die!”
It said, and dark red fire spewed over its horns and covered its whole body with it in an instant, with it being most dense at its stone ax.
Seeing its attack, I swung my sword in counter, with dense energy covering it.
Unlike it, my attacks are too simple, but it is clear through the Grimms’ eyes that it is not willing to underestimate it.
Our weapons clashed and its eyes went wide as saucers. It shook from head to toe, before taking a step back.
“Bas”
It opened its mouth to curse, but it saw me in front of it with the attack. It stopped mid-curse and moved its ax to defend against my tiny sword.
CLANNG CLANNG CLANNG
My sword struck against, the stone blade of its ax and shook it once again, before forcing it to take a step back.
This time, I didn’t give it a chance and pressed forward with another attack and then another as it defended.
“I have to save Grimm. You are very good at defending,” I mocked and all it could do is glare at me as it defended. There is nothing else it could do; it is using nearly all its power is defending.
It won’t take me long before I forced it to use what little it is hiding.
I kept launching a flurry of attacks, without giving it even a moment of rest and within a few seconds, forced it to use what it is hiding.
It didn’t have a choice. If it didn’t use it, I will kill it. It knows it, I know it.
A few more seconds passed, and I have become sure that it is not hiding anything.
“Say goodbye to the world, Grimm,” I said to him and moved toward him.
It seemed to have sensed its death and was able to harness the power from its bloodline, but it is not enough.
Puch!
“You wretch,” it was cursed when I had appeared behind it and pierced my sword into its chest.
It froze as I released the burst of energy, and a second later it had disappeared. It appeared in my core, where it will receive the punishment for the sins it had committed.
I appeared by the stealth artifact and took it back to my core, before resuming my journey.
