Chapter 1991 - The Seed
"Micheal, how was the ruin for you? You seemed to have made some progress too," Teacher asked while my aura seemed like peak elite, but there is faint heaviness in it.
"Some mother? he is the real monster here; he has gained the power of the peak Leader cla.s.s Tyrants and even killed some of them in a straight fight," Elina said, making her mother"s eyes go wide; I glared at Elina, Teacher had just shocked by her daughter"s progress and now given another shock, I would have liked to wait for a little before telling her that.
"Teacher, I have found the last material I needed." Ive informed, taking her out of her shocked thoughts.
"You did! That"s great news; you have been searching for months for it," she said as a smile dawned on her face. "Though, I did need your help," I said and placed a meteor in front of her. "There is Stardust of Remdon in this meteorite; I need refiners to extract it from it," I informed.
She again got shocked, but this time, she recovered instantly. After receiving a shock after the shock in such a short time, she had somehow become impervious to them.
"I will contact some people," Teacher said after a few minutes of observing. She placed the box in the storage and turned to me. "With it, you should be able to focus completely focus on your Inheritance," the Teacher said; while she said it like a statement, there seemed to be a faint note of hastiness in it.
I am not the only one who had sensed that; Elina seemed to sense that too as she looked at me. Teacher never tells me to hurry in my Inheritance; she knows how important it is. If there is a faint hint of it in her voice, it means something serious must have happened there.
"What is happening in the war, mom?" Elina asked, "Many things, my dear, many horrific things," Teacher said with a sigh. Hearing that, my heart couldn"t help but shudder.
"The Grimm Monsters had started pouring enormous numbers on the battlefield, and people from all the organizations have received the war summons; in ten days, millions of children will be sent to fight the war," the Teacher said.
While in the minor continent, reaching the peak stage is a big thing, and usually, 80% of people reach there in their twenties, but here in the central continent, 95% reach it before they even turn eighteen and now these teenagers would be sent to fight in a merciless war, from where only less than half would be returned.
That is only if things do not deteriorate too much. If the condition became worse, it would be hard for even 20% of them to survive, much less return to the central continent.
"How many are we sending?" I asked the Teacher, "Fifteen thousand in the first batch," Teacher replied, if I am right, then within a few months, we will be sending around a hundred thousand or even more if things have become worse than they already are.
Unfortunately, things have already become worse, and teachers" following words have confirmed that. "The Domhall continent has nearly fallen; in a few days, the Grimm Monsters would capture it fully," She informed, shocking us completely.
While we know something like this is out to happen sooner or later, but it is still very shocking, especially since the Grimm Monsters have done that. I had hoped it would be us who would take control of the full continent first.
The moment they have captured the Domhall continent fully, things will accelerate further; both sides will try their hardest to capture the rest of the continents, and when both sides get the minor continents fully, the war will begin on the central continent for its control.
"You both have made great strides, far more than I had expected, but I would still ask you to keep working hard and get much as powerful you can; the survival of our academy would depend upon it," the Teacher said, and both of us nodded solemnly.
We understood what kind of responsibilities are on our shoulders, and it is due to that, we have been taking huge risks venturing into the ruins to search for opportunities. We have made some shocking progress, but as the Teacher said, it is not enough on the grand scale; we need to gain more power to protect the academy and our loved ones in this war.
"Micheal, Josie had sent something for you; she hopes it will be useful to you," the Teacher said and placed a heavily runed palm-size box in front of me.
Click!
"What is it?" I asked, "You should look it yourself," the Teacher said mysteriously. Hearing that, my curiosity couldn"t help but pique, and I opened the box without any hesitation.
Inside the box is a purple-green colored see, which seemed to be slightly damaged; there is nothing special that could be seen in the seed. There are no smells or an aura coming from it; I was about to ask the Teacher about it when I suddenly noticed something.
Hun!
There are microscopic faint golden marks on the seed, and when I precisely put my source sense into those micro marks, I felt the aura I had never felt before but read about it many times; sensing it, my eyes couldn"t help but go wide.
I had desired this thing but seeing how it is thousands of times rare than the divine crystal and how this resource was never found in a single place, I did not go find it or even expect to find it, seeing its rarity.
It is not the main material for my core formation, nor it is material I could not do about, but it is still an extremely important one that will give me immense benefits, and those benefits will multiply if I use that it with another resource of a different element, they make a very powerful pair.
This seed has traces of law and not any law but one of the most paramount laws of the universe, the time law, and when it with s.p.a.ce law resources in my core formation, its benefits will be beyond imaginable.
"Please thank the Professor for me, Teacher, she had helped me extremely this time," I said and handed the box to Elina, who is dying to take a look at it.
"You can tell her yourself when you meet her," Teacher said with slightly worried expressions.
Ever since the professors left for the Pyramid, she had not come back. Due to her bloodline advancements and core, she had received some very useful abilities which are in great need, and due to that, she had been one secret mission after another.
Everyone is worried about her, especially the Teacher. The missions she is doing are not simple ones; they are very dangerous ones taking her deep into Grimm territory; these areas are spatially protected by powerful artifacts.
I hope the ring I had given her will help her in dangerous times; it is a damaged artifact but still very powerful, extremely useful to escape from the spatially locked s.p.a.ces.
