Chapter 2312 – Exploration
“Take a seat, Micheal,” Lord Whitmore said as I had walked into his office. “You must be wondering why I had called you in my office?”” He asked as I took the seat.
“You have a mission for me?” I asked in a hopeful voice. While in the past few days, I have improved a lot but now it is time for me to join the front; it is the fastest way I would be able to improve.
“Yes, I have a mission for you, and it is different from all the other missions you have done before,” He said, which instantly made me curious, and before I could ask about the mission, he tapped a few buttons and chart have appeared in front of me.
“What are you trying to show me, Lord Whitmore?” I asked. The chart is ‘Ruin Chart’ it shows all the runes are connected to our world. It is a complex thing, which I only have basic knowledge about.
The small and big points of different colors show the level of ruins, from Knights to Grandmaster class ruins are shown in the chart. Most of the ruins in the chart are Knight class; they are in thousands, while the Grandmaster class ruins are less than fifty.
“This,” He said and pointed at a specific blue spot. “This is Ruin UXK679; it connected to our world forty-seven hours ago. ” He said, tapping on the spot, showing the graphs our sensors are picking.
“It is without a doubt, a Grandmaster class ruin and one and the one that is from the powerful world,” he added before turning to me. “Your mission is to explore the ruin, map it out as much as you can within two weeks before returning safely,” He ordered. To that, I nodded.
“Has Grimm Monsters have sent the people to that ruin?” I asked. His expressions have become serious hearing that.
“They are the reason I sent you there. They have sent their people just a few hours after the ruin connected to the world before sending some more an hour ago, which have made me really worried,” He said.
The first time should be explored, but them sending people again just a day after means there is something to be worried about.
We are fighting a war for our survival, and this time there is already something weird going on with the Grimms that have made the higher-ups worried, and if they found something in the ruin that would aid them in war, it would greatly affect the war.
“The Grimms already have the advantage over us; if this ruin has something that is going to give them an edge, then snatch it. If you could not, then destroy it, we can not let the Grimms have another advantage,” He said.
“Don’t worry, my lord, I will try my hardest to foil the plan of the Grimms, if they have any,” I said, “I would expect nothing less, Micheal,” He said.
A minute later, I walked out of the office of Lord Whitmore and now going toward the ruin gate. I had already expected I might have to leave for the mission and had said good-buy to my family.
The mission is two weeks long and with many objectives. It would be very dangerous seeing the Grimms have likely sent a couple of Grandmasters in the ruin; there might be a peak level among them which I could not anything against.
“Grandmaster Zaar, the ruin gate is ready for you.” The head technician said as I had entered the hall.
I am quite surprised as it usually takes them a few minutes to make the preparations. It seemed like Lord Whitmore had already ordered them, and from what I could see, there seemed to be no problem.
“Thank You,” I said, and armor appeared on my body, and at the same time, I took out the ring. I do not want the Grimms to find out I am entering the ruin, though I doubt the Grimms inside would even have time to put the sensors across the whole ruin in just two days.
Step!
As the ring’s energy had covered me, I stepped into the ruin gate, and the next moment, I was in the space tunnel. I remained calm here without making the slightest movement, both physical and magical.
BAMM!
Twenty-two seconds passed when I breached the layer of the ruin and crashed hard on the solid surface.
The force was powerful enough to break the bones of the Master, but I did not care about that as the thing that caught my attention was the temperature around me; it is hot, very hot that only Grandmasters would be able to bear it.
‘THIS FIRE,’ Said the hidden being inside me, shocking me greatly. It had been quite a lot of time since I have heard the being spoke and since it spoke about means, whatever the fire, the being mentiontioning in an important thing.
“What fire are you talking about?” I asked, but as usual, I have got no answer from it even after waiting for a minute. Hearing no response, I shook my head and looked around.
I am in a desert which seemed to be vast as the sea; I could not see any end to this white sand. I did not see any fire that the being inside me had mentioned, but since it had mentioned it, it means there must be a fire somewhere, and it is important.
I will see where I will be able to find it, but my main task is finding the Grimms and foiling any plan they have in this ruin.
Chew Chew
“Do go too far,” I said to Nero, and Ashlyn came out of me and flew away from me while I crouched down and picked up a fistful of white sand, which is hot enough to have burned the Master within a few seconds.
Just a minute of inspection with my abilities let me understand that this sand is precious, and I had immediately stored some of it in my storage.
