Chapter 2253 – Side Effects Of Rule Bending
“Micheal, you will go the Charmel city on the 7th of this month and take command of the forces there,” Said the projection of Lord Whitmore.
I am once again back in the back in the huge white hall, and in front of me is a long table with twelve seats, of which only four are occupied, and all of them are being occupied by the projection of the council members.
It had become harder and harder to see the real bodies; it is clear that some of them have already joined the war and are fighting the front already.
“There will be few people to aid you, and we hope you will listen to their suggestion,” Lady May said, especially emphasizing the ‘suggestion’ word. “I will listen to their suggestions,” I said, understanding the meaning behind her words.
“In the northern side, we are getting pushed back a lot. The Grimms have destroyed our forts, and they have reached our cities; we hope you will be able to stop their advancement there,” Lord Whitmore said.
“I will try my hardest to not let Grimms take even an inch of our territory,” I replied, keeping my promises to a minimum; I don’t want to boast and then not deliver.
The war is unpredictable, and many things could happen; there is a quite high chance that I might die with all the power I have.
Grandmasters are not invincible as they were before the war when Grandmasters were rarely fought outside but not now.
I stayed in the hall ten more minutes, listening few more orders and veiled pieces of advice and words of caution before I got back in my home.
I have to leave on the 7th of this month, which means I have three more days. As I had yesterday, there is nothing for me to prepare, and I could leave at a moment’s notice, but on the other hand, I have barely any free time even when I am not doing anything.
The call from the council had been a great surprise; I had thought it would take till the end of this week till they call me, but they mailed me in the morning.
I told my father immediately about leaving, and even though he was not happy with it, he supported my decision. I am more worried about my sister; she is going to be in little trouble when she knows I am leaving.
It had been more than half a year since mother had left, and since then, there was no call or message on her part. My sister is missing her a lot and ask about her every few days, a question which I could not answer.
I don’t know when the mother will return or where she is; the council had been very tight-lipped about her mission. Only saying she is alive and will take some time before she comes back.
I walked inside my room before entering the practice room before I took out the tub, which was already filled with blue-yellow solution.
Ever since I had made a breakthrough into the Tyrant class, I have rarely used solutions. I have only used them five times, which is much much less than before my breakthrough into the Tyrant class.
The reason is that after I made a breakthrough, a peculiarity has occurred in me. A very few things could affect me; even if I use very precious resources, they will not help me in advance.
It could be said to be one of the side effects of bending a rule too much. Every action had a consequence, and if I bend the rules too much, I will have to suffer the consequence for it too.
Though these side effects are manageable to me, thanks to precious Grimm Monsters whose bloodlines essence I could suck away and my art which gives me massive strength advancement, not to mention, I have already begun to figure out what resources could help me and create the solution of them.
This one is one of my finest attempts; in it, I have used the aralas grapes and also couple more resources that I have grown in my core and a few resources from outside.
The smell coming out of it has already affected my body; it is hungering from it along with my runes.
A second after coming out, I did not waste any time and took out all my clothes before stepping into the tub. The temperature of the solution is quite hot, but it is something I could bear without any problem.
A minute after lying in the pool, I felt the scalding hot energies begin to flow inside me in hundreds of streams. It is slightly hot but comforting at the same time that I lay comfortably and close my eyes, enjoying the feeling it is giving me.
The solution is affecting me, from my core to soul and body. Which is good, as I am hoping the benefits I would get from it would increse my limit a little, which would help me a lot in the practice of my art.
Before I leave for the front, I want to gain as much as strength possible, so I would be deal with all the enemies that I would have to fight against.
This mission is different from all the other missions Ive been going to. I am going to fight in front and command a whole army and not a regular army either but one of the special armies of the pyramid.
The pyramid is putting a lot of trust in me taking this huge risk, and I don’t want to disappoint them. If I failed this mission, there would be a lot of repercussions, so in these three days, I have to prepare with my all, so something like that does not happen.
Time passed by, and soon one and a half hours passed, and I finished consuming all the energies. I could feel it had given me great benefits.
If I continue to dip in this solution every week while making it better for greater effect, it will benefit me a lot, especially in the long run.
