I appeared in the central command and saw the Supre Commander and others looking at the screen, which had footage of a lot of lakes.
"Landen Lakefield," I said, and Supre Commander nodded.
Her expressions were serious but not as serious as they wouldn't have been if I had told her what the old snake had said to last ti.
I had not told anyone, not even Marina or any Grand Lords, as there was not much they could do other than worry.
Telling them would have made them keep Pyramid, and I don't want that; only I could deal with the old snake effectively.
They could not deal with it, even with the asures I have put inside them, as the asures would fail if the old snake noticed what they were, and seeing how intelligent this bastard is, it wouldn't take long to notice them.
"I am going," I said.
Buzz!
"Be careful," said Supre Commander; I nodded, and a mont later, the formation buzzed under my feet, and I had disappeared.
A few seconds later, I appeared at the other end, and below were hundreds of beautiful blue lakes. There is a high chance this beautiful place will get utterly destroyed today.
"You ca," said the old snake as it materialized a few hundred ters away from . "What, you didn't think I would not?" I asked, to which it shook its head.
"No, I truly did not; after I had said to you last ti. I didn't think the humans would let their brightest co fight against ," it said. "We are not cowards like you, Grimms," I replied, and hearing that the smile on its face beca brighter.
"Rather, you had not told them what I had said," it said, with that despicable smile on its face.
"Did it matter since I had co," I said, putting a little more anger in my voice? "No, it did not." It said with a shake of its head.
"So, you have prepared what you were going to prepare to kill ?" I asked, hearing that the smile on its face beca bigger. "Yes, I did, and with the things I have traded with you, my chances of success improved trendously."
"Earlier, it was going to be a gamble; there was so chance I might fail, but now, with your help, there is no way I will fail," it said, forking its tongue out.
"Many people have said these words to , but they are all failed; so, like your pet, had even lost their lives," I said back and could see a flash of anger appearing in its eyes before it disappeared.
"You will know soon how right I am," it said, and a crystalline bottle appeared in its hands, containing blood red.
Seeing the glass bottle, all the hairs on my body stood up, and I wanted to run so badly, but I controlled my emotions and asked both of my clones to be ready.
This is going to be very dangerous; I might even lose my life if I am not being careful.
Gulp!
"Zaar, you will die today but will also live through ," said the old snake and gulped down the solution in the bottle in a single gulp.
A second after it drank the potions, its eyes bulged and beca blood-red from crimson; at the sa ti, its scales began to change color rapidly, turning blood-red as its eyes.
Looking at it felt like it had co bathing in the blood.
"It is bloody painful, but everything will be worth it after I consu you," said the old snake with gritted teeth and a smile before a formation appeared on its body.
The formation is in the Grimm script and is black as night, and soon, it covers every inch of its body, making it look quite ominous.
Buzz!
"I am taking a huge risk Zaar, but I am confident I will succeed," it roared as the formation covering its body activated, and the mont it did, my expression couldn't change as I sensed the energies from the old snake, that made take a step back unconsciously.
I sensed a divine energy, and it was not just it but also above the limit elent, and it seed to burn with a huge amount of divine energy.
It channeled the energy created through the burn into the formation for a very dangerous purpose, which made feel that I should run away as soon as possible as I might not get another chance to do it.
Still, I remained in my spot; the old snake had beco very dangerous, and if I ran away, it might target them, and I don't think, aside from Matron, who is fighting Rhaek, anyone could deal with this bastard.
Crack Crack Crack
For nearly a minute, nothing had happened; the formation kept shining before finally sothing happened, and it couldn't help but surprise .
The cracks begin to appear on its body, and these are not small cracks but big one that runs deep, and it is appeared everywhere, including its face.
There is a huge crack covering its face, showing even inside of it has solidified.
It looked horrified with cracks, and if I did not know it had done that to itself, I would have thought it had been hit by so dangerous attack or its own curse had backfired on it, but it is nothing of that sort; everything is intentional.
I had told that Supre Commander as well when she had asked .
DHUB!
A few seconds passed by, and the cracks spread into every part of its body when suddenly sothing happened that even shocked .
It imploded, turning to dusk; for a second, I thought sothing had gone wrong, but I soon realized it was not the case when I felt his strong soul.
It is still present, and it feels even powerful than before.
The dust soon morphed into a huge blood-red cloud; it was so huge that it would be easily able to swallow Grimm of a similar size.
"It is ti for you to die, human!" the blood-red dust called out a strange voice and ca toward .
My expression turned serious seeing that; I was not sensing anything from it like before, but I knew it was dangerous, and I have powered my shields to their strongest and even readied the fourth boost to use it at the mont I needed it.
I was watching the huge cloud of blood-red dust coming toward when the supre commander contacted again.
"Lord Zaar, Lady Josephine had returned, and she had brought the news," said a Supre Commander.
"Michael, there are a huge number of people from old snake's tribe who had gathered at their base," said Professor before I could even ask what the news was.
Hearing it, my eyes couldn't widen in alarm; I had asked the supre commander to keep eyes on the old snake's tribe after it revealed the divine energy, and now, it had gathered its tribe.
It is bad; the gathering could an only one thing, the bastard is ready to do the unthinkable, and seeing even the professor was able to see it ans the Grimms knew about it, and they will not be going to stop it, despite doing that is forbidden.
'I should leave!' I decided.
That step was extrely dangerous that even I would not be able to bear it; I could not stay here.
I imdiately warned all the Grand Lords and was about to activate my escaping thod when the dust cloud enveloped my shields, and what happened next was one shocking thing I had ever experienced.
BANNNNG!
The mont it enveloped my shields, they exploded into pieces; it lasted not even a second. It shocked and sent a huge backlash at , that stopped from activating my escape thod for a second, and that was enough for the old snake to wrap around in the dust cloud.
"Now there is no escape but salvation," said the dust cloud in its strange, hallowed voice, and the next mont, it began to drill inside .
Like my shields, my armor also offered no resistance to it; the dust cloud pieced through it before seeping inside .
As grains of dust seeped inside , I felt like I had been pieced by thousands of hot needles.
They have co at from every direction, and it is not just my body they have pieced, but also my soul and my energy, and moved toward my core too.
"Ahhhh….."
I scread loudly as the dust began to pierce inside , as I began to feel the pain I had not felt before.
The old snake is not joking, the bastard literally wants to consu , and it is thoroughly prepared to the level of risking its own life.
The thod it had used was extrely dangerous; I could tell it was designed to consu another being, to their very essence, and make them part of theirs.
It also poses a danger to the old snake because if it does not succeed, it will die.
It had aptly said last ti that the next ti we et, either it will die or I, and it is regretful to say it, but the chances of dying is higher.
Unlike the thod that Kraf had used, it did not favor .
This thod is like an apex predator, it does not give the prey any chance, but it also should know I am not any common prey.
I will not let it consu , I will use every move in my arsenal to stop, and if I had to sacrifice my life, I would do it and take this bastard with .
