Chapter 2970 Nine To Harvest I
The shock of what happened spread through the whole war to every Grand Lord who was fighting, be it Grimm or humans, and some powerhouses with high enough access.
In the central command, Lord Whitmore"s whole body shook, and he nearly fell down and would have, if not for Marina, stopped him.
She too is shocked, but not as much as he and Grand Lords; she knew her student and lover enough secrets not to get shocked as this, but still killing nine Grimms at once is quite a shocking thing to do, even for a Michael.
…
"Seventeen of yours have been killed, Rhaek. Do you want to say something?" taunted the old woman; till now, it was taunting her, and now, it is her turn.
Rhaek did not reply; it was truly shocked. It was not expected Zaar to appear; it thought the old snake had dealt with him, and even if it were not killed, it would be good as killed with parts of the old snake inside him.
They are poison itself, and it thought Zaar died, and humans were keeping the news hidden, but not only Zaar had not died, but he also came back and killed nine of its powerhouses in less than a minute.
Rhaek felt like pulling its fur out, but soon it calmed down, and even a smile appeared on its face.
"So, what if he came back?" Those he killed were mid-level Grand Lords. There is a vast difference in strength between a middle and peak Grand Lord; it had a lot of them.
"You two got after Zaar," it said; they were surprised but immediately obeyed; it was quite surprising that the old woman did not react to stop; seeing that, it ordered another Blood Vidette to move toward Zaar to be sure.
"I have sent three blood videttes at Zaar; they will kill him within a minute," he said with a b.l.o.o.d.y smile.
He could see her flinching for a moment, but she recovered her expression quickly. Though it saw it, and it made its smile even brighter.
"They will die too," said the old woman a moment later. "Even you could not kill them; what makes you think he will be able to do anything against them?" it asked.
"Because he is Zaar," she replied, but that made it only laugh harder.
He had quite a grudge against that little place after that b.i.t.c.h did it in the last epoch war. After it finishes killing all the humans, that place will be the first it will destroy.
…
"Maybe, I had chewed more than I could swallow," I thought, seeing my core begin shaking the moment I took them inside.
Now all of them are bound in a small spatial realm, which is burning through spatial and energy crystals along with other resources, and despite that, it is shaking.
Seeing it shaking, the Grimms begin to struggle even harder.
I should have killed the three and taken only those with the bloodlines inside, but that wouldn"t have been possible.
The moment I killed even a single Grimm, the big guns would have arrived, stopping me from taking any of Grimms, and I could not have that.
I have grown powerful that I am not even fear big guns, but not powerful enough to kill even a single one of them. To have even the slightest chance to kill them, I need the bloodline essence the six b.a.s.t.a.r.ds would provide me.
It is the reason why I chose this battlefield instead of any other. It had the highest numbers of Grimms with bloodline, and to my luck, even Nras the Violet Crockman had come running toward me after I came here.
The nine of them are shaking the spatial realm and my core; the only reason I am not in full-blown panic mode is because the runes have started climbing over them.
The moment they spread fully, the harvest would begin, and I will be safe.
"You guys leave as soon possible; it won"t be long before the powerful appear," I said, and they seemed to be understood that too; they disappeared without saying a word.
A moment after they left, the two presences appeared and seeing them, a smile couldn"t help but appear on my face.
"You guys did good," I said as Ashlyn and Nero appeared; both of them had killed five Grimm together, which was more than anyone besides me had done on this battlefield.
Chew Chew
"Thank you, father," they said and disappeared inside me.
They are powerful already, but they will be even more after absorbing the essence of the six Grimms. The essence always strengthened them more than me, as I had to share my essence with the mysterious tree, but they did not.
Hun!
As they appeared, Nero did something that couldn"t help but surprise me; he turned into a puff of energy and merged into the spatial domain.
The moment he merged with fully, the shaking began to lessen at incredible speed, till there was barely any, seeing that a relieved smile couldn"t help, but appear on my face.
"Thank you, Nero," I said; with him, I don"t have to worry about the shaking anymore.
In a few seconds, the big guns will come, and I should feel fear because there will look at one Blood Vidette, which is at the level of Lady Angela, but I am only feeling a little of it, as most I am feeling is sheer excitement.
I had been stuck in a room for more than a month and needed the excitement; earlier, when I said the Grimms had disappointed, it was not just mock but also the truth.
I looked at runes spreading into the Grimms before turning my focus on the battles; even after killing nine Grimms and sending the three to aid them, our condition was still very precarious.
There were over seventy Grimms, and even after killing so many of them, there were still more than fifty of them on the battlefield.
Some of them are doing well, while others are barely surviving.
The ones who are fighting against most Grimms are Lady Atkins and Joana; both of them are fighting against four Grimm Grand Lords.
Lady Atkins is fighting through her water manipulation, while Joana, my cousin, is fighting with her Grand Art, the empire of mist.
She had been in the place where my mother was, and she returned, but my mother did not for some reason.
I wanted to ask her for a reason for that, but I did not; she was fighting against four strong enemies. She needs all the strength she has without the slightest disturbance.
My two mentees have also been doing great; they are fighting together against; six Grand Lords, and they are doing good.
Leonard is on the offensive, while Danielle is using her bubbles and power of inheritance together to defend against any attacks that come at her and Leonard; she is also able to injure one Grimm grievously.
?
If not for others rescuing it, it would have been killed.
Still, they are not the most dangerous battles; the most dangerous of them all being fought by Supreme Commander Leonard, Lady Vivian, and five old Grand Lords.
Their enemies are the blood videttes and peak Grand Lords; if anyone other than them faces against such enemies, they will not survive.
Hun!
I was watching the battles when I sensed the two presences, and a moment later, two blood videttes appeared.
"They are taking me seriously," I thought, seeing the two blood videttes, but soon my expression changed when I sensed the presence of a third and couldn"t help but curse inside me.
