Four days have passed since I walked out of the monastery, and I am close to reaching my destination.
It took longer, but not surprising considering the number of monsters I had to fight.
On the first day, I fought monsters in my violation, but from the second, I focused on getting to my destination, but monsters would attack, and even with an upgraded stealth thod, it was not easy to evade them.
Now, I am quite close to my destination, and I am quite excited about it as it had looked quite great through Ashlyn's eyes.
I took a short left turn and avoided the monster that was not far away from .
I have co to know the limit of my stealth thod and thus would move according to it. It also helps Ashlyn and Nero tell where the monsters are, which makes avoiding them even easier.
With their help, I have avoided truly powerful monsters; ones even they could not defeat.
I had sensed its aura, and it was powerful that it would have slaughtered the eight Grimms within a matter of seconds. If I am right, then that one was very close to the Primary-II state.
Earlier, I was not willing to believe that there might be true Primary-II class monsters here, but now I am.
Ashlyn had Nero had shown so things that had forced to believe it, especially seeing those zones, which are filled with energy, matching those in the sky.
Even with all their guts, they did not dare to venture into that area; it was too dangerous, even for them.
A little more than an hour passed, and I had killed another monster; it had sensed and attacked.
It took four minutes to finish the battle, which is quite long in the area, where I usually finished it within three minutes.
One minute to bind and two to kill.
It was powerful and injured so much that so of those injuries are still healing.
A few more minutes passed, and I stopped as I reached my destination, which was a lake.
It looked like a normal lake, but if one looked at it carefully, one would see faint runes floating in it.
This is a doorway to soplace; I don't know where it leads, but it will be, without a doubt, a very dangerous place.
Ashlyn had dropped a monster here, and the lake had annihilated it in less than a second.
One is only safe when they touch the entrance or any other place, and this lake will destroy without leaving even a single proof. If it had, then a mountain-worth of bones had been here.
I looked at the lake for a few seconds before jumping into it.
I had worked on the formation for more than weeks, using a few hours each day to solve this formation till I had finally solved it.
Thump!
A thumping sound rang out, and horror appeared on my face; thinking I had failed, I tried to leave, but the water gripped like a rope.
I struggled for a fraction of a second before the formation on which I had jumped flashed, and imdiately I stopped all my struggles and took a sigh of relief.
For a mont, I had thought I had failed; that would have been very bad. My ending bad.
Buzz!
The formation buzzed, and I disappeared, and a mont later, I appeared in a bright place.
Hun!
It took my formation a fraction of a second to adjust before everything before clear, and what I saw couldn't help but shock .
"The fuck!" I cursed; I looked at things around ,
Everything is ruined, the walls collapse, the floor cracks, and the pillars into pieces, while stray formations fly around.
The first thing I did was turn back and check the exit, and I was relieved to see it being present and in perfect condition, unlike the things around .
It was truly unexpected; the entrance was fine without any problem, even better than a monastery before inside; it had turned out of complete ruin, that I wanted to return imdiately, but I decided to stay.
I will look around for an hour, and if I find sothing interesting, then I will stay, or I will get out of this place.
Once again, checking the flow of ti, I moved forward cautiously.
It is important that I always check the flow of ti; there are so spots here where the flow of ti is nearly the sa as the world. I don't want to be stuck in those places, even for a minute.
I will waste ti there at more than twenty tis a speed, which I could not afford.
I had walked a couple of steps when I suddenly stopped, and my strings have picked up a piece of blue-colored marble.
I don't know what it is, but my soul sense behaved strangely when it passed through it. So, I picked it.
Suu!
I looked at it for a couple of seconds before suddenly my eyes went wide, and I sucked a sharp breath.
"Spatial soil," I muttered in shock; it is definitely a spatial soul. I do not know what of it, and it is mixed with other things, but it did not matter.
This thing is extrely useful to from the things I could see in it.
It could be used in planting spatial types of plants, but more importantly, it could be used in strengthening my core, especially the world aspect of it.
I had been searching for a spatial soul for years, and I found so treasuries of organization, but their level was low. At most, they have grand lord-class spatial soil, and it is in a very tiny amount.
I needed the one above the limit for the eventual breath-through I might be able to make if I survived the big Grimm.
A breakthrough that will take above the limit.
Now, I am most focused on making my next breakthrough, which will help save my world, but I am still happy finding I.
If I survive, then I will have one of the most important resources I need to make an above-the-limit breakthrough.
There were tens of pieces of it lying around, if not hundreds, and my strings moved cautiously through the floor to pick them up, careful not to touch any straying formation.
Soon over, hundreds of such tiles went into my storage, and collecting them with every step and checked other things.
It will be a challenge for to extract pure spatial soil from the tile, but if I survive, then I will have years to do that in a world without any Grimm; I think the ti will be more than enough for to find ten extraction thods than simply one.
A few minutes passed, and I had collected all the pieces of marble and now looked at the broken pillar, which had so interesting texts carved on it.
Thankfully, they are in the universal language and seem to be a ballad.
I would love to read one and take it for marina; she like these things, and it is her guilty pleasure; unfortunately, I couldn't. The rest of the pillar is in a broken formation, whose light obscures the texts.
I did not dare to use my abilities on it, lest it triggers them; you can never know with the broken formations.
I moved around the pillars, picking things that caught my interest, and so did, which I put in my storage, but their importance to was much less than the spatial soil.
Half an hour passed by, and I walked through the way made through the broken wall, and the first thing that I ca across against couldn't help but surprise .
It is a head, a beast head of so kind, belonging to one of the broken statues.
'Not statues, golems,' I corrected myself a few seconds later and imdiately beca even more careful.
Thankfully, aside from the two that are cracked, every golem here is torn into pieces. So even turned to dust.
It couldn't make feel relieved; these bastards are the trickiest. They activate and chase like a hound, and unless you destroy them, they will keep chasing you.
While there did not seem to be any danger here, I did not want to be in a tricky place like this and begin to take a step back.
Hun!
Suddenly, I stopped when I noticed sothing; a bright red thing near the fee cracked golem.
It is a piece of energy crystal, and when my soul sense touched it, I sensed trendous energies from it.
More than any energy crystal that Rhaek and other Grimm Grand Lords have in their storage.
I thought for a mont before made my mind.
My string went toward the crystal and carefully wrapped around it with a sealing formation appearing and pulled it.
Hun
A second later, the thing was my hand, and I was looking at it grinningly when suddenly, I sensed sothing.
My expression froze, and I slowly looked ahead, and what I froze for a second.
"Fuck!" I cursed loudly as the cracked golden with burning yellow yes took a step toward .
'I am such a greedy bastard!' I cursed myself as I prepared, slowly taking a step back behind a broken formation while activating all my boosts.
Sa ti, Ashlyn and Nero appeared to my left and right and looked at the Goldem with excitent, which I was not feeling.
As things are going to get very ugly for soon.
