Chapter 2980 Harness
They started fighting, and within seconds the expressions of the Grimms changed; they understood this was not a one-sided battle but something that they would need to pour their everything to win.
The only ones who are still confident are the Rhaek and the blood videttes.
Three seconds later, the first Grimm died; it was one of the four who were fighting against Lady Atkins.
It was killed by my friend Jim, an alchemist who scored the first kill in the new human Grand Lords.
He had cut the Grimm into two, but a strange thing happened as he did; instead of its two pieces falling down, a formation covered both pieces, and they disappeared before he could launch the second attack and truly finish off.
A moment later, a Lizardman with two pieces appeared in front of me, to the shock of three-blood videttes and all the humans and Grimms.
"Disappear," I said, and the Lizardman disappeared; it did not have a bloodline, but it did not matter; I would harvest every Grimm on the battlefield to prepare for the biggest danger our world had ever faced.
"Continue? The distractions will continue to appear; you three don"t have to get distracted by it," I said and attacked the three, not giving any chance to relax.
While inside me, the boost is pouring out through the inheritance runes, and the runes and begin to cover it.
This Grimm is just the beginning; more will join it soon.
I had just thought that when Philips More, the new Grand Lord from WindG.o.ds Temple, stabbed the Snakeman through the chest. The moment it happened, the runes materialized over its body and disappeared.
A second later, the stabbed Snakeman had appeared in front of me before disappearing into my core; this one had the bloodline.
After sucking the six Grimms, I became powerful enough to create the teleporting seeds. With this seed, the moment Grimms have received a life-threatening injury, they will teleport to me.
It will frustrate the person who killed them, and to make up for it, I had designed the formation in such a way that it will leave behind its possession and teleport the bodies of the Grimms.
Still, I will need to apologize later.
The coming Grimms did not stop my battle against the blood videttes; I continued to push them without stopping, going faster and faster, till they all could do it defend and nothing else.
The only one who is holding on from the three is the Pigeonman; it is harnessing the power from above the above-the-limit, which is helping to not get all suppressed by me.
TING!
Finally, my saber slashed through the skin of Rhinoman but was barely able to scratch it; the defense of it seemed out of the world.
"You might be able to dominate us, but you could forget about killing us; our defense is greatest among all the Grimms; even Lord Rhaek couldn"t compare to us when it comes to the defense," said the Rhinoman.
"I have broken many of such defenses; breaking this one, too, will not be a problem for me," I said and attacked them with even greater power.
Though I may have said, I am also quite surprised by its defense; my probing had said they have a powerful defense, but I did not expect them to be this powerful. I will need to put quite a power if I want to kill them in a conventional way.
Buzz!
A few more seconds pa.s.sed when the two Grimm inside me turned into dust, and another stream of strengthening energy had joined.
It is quite weak compared to the strengthening energy from the Shael, which is not surprising considering the vast difference between them.
The Snakeman was an early-stage Grand Lord, while Shael was a peak stage, near the limit; there is no other Grimm than the Rhaek, who could have a thicker bloodline than the Shael.
It had been a few seconds since the new stream of strengthening essence began to come at me when another Grimm teleported in front of me, and a few seconds after another, both of them did not have a bloodline.
I am not disappointed, there are still around fifty Grimms who are fighting, and more than half of them have a bloodline.
All of them will be mine, not to mention these f.u.c.king videttes that I am fighting. My clone has begun planting in every inch of my core"s surface; they are even removing buildings, statues, and other things that are taking up the s.p.a.ce.
It is not just the planting they are doing but also harvesting and storing the resources.
Thousands of boxes are getting filled with resources of every kind; the growth energy is producing them, and I am harvesting them, especially the Grand Lord cla.s.s resources; they are the ones that will truly help us.
I just hope we will have enough time to use them.
A minute pa.s.sed when a Crockman appeared; it had a huge hole in its chest, but at the last moment, my seed inside it could save its bloodline core.
It is the thing that had its bloodline; if it had been destroyed, the Grimms would have been useless.
It had disappeared into my core, and second later, got acquainted with runes, which it had tried to resist, but like all the Grimms, it was unable to slow them down, even for a second.
"Zaar, what do you do with all the Grimms you made disappear?" asked Pigeonman suddenly, in a rare serious voice without any hint of rage and fury.
I was going to give it a conventional answer that I did to all the humans and Grimms, but stopped and thought for a moment before opening my mouth.
"I use them as fertilizers; I have some trees that use you Grimms as fertilizers; they like them alive especially,"
"There is one, the most powerful them all, which love you videttes; it swallows every bit of you without throwing out even a single bone," I said and could see all three Grimms shuddering.
Not only these videttes shuddered, but also the Grimms and some humans; I have spoken loud enough, without any protection, that sensors on both sides could pick it, without any problem.
I had just finished answering when another Grimms appeared in front of me; this one too with bloodline and disappeared inside me, making the videttes shudder even more.
TANG TANG CLANNNG
"Don"t worry, you guys, you will join the rest soon enough," I said and attacked, with two of my attacks striking against two videttes, giving them scratch, which began to heal, disappearing completely a moment later.
The only one who is still defending is the Pigeoman, who is under this extreme stress, harnessing even more power.
Seeing that, the killing intent in my heart blazed even brighter; earlier, I used to think this b.a.s.t.a.r.d was one weakling, who became videttes and gained this power, they would not have gained otherwise.
I was a little wrong, at least about this Pigeonma; it has a talent.
It seemed to have understood how to harness the power hidden in it, and if given enough time, the b.a.s.t.a.r.d would definitely become a threat, even bigger than Rhaek.
I can not let you leave the battlefield alive, or it will become a huge threat for us, so huge that n.o.body will be able to handle it.
So, even if I have to burn my essence or have to use my most secret move, I will not let the b.a.s.t.a.r.d leave.
Unlike its two friends, it also did not want to leave; a fire was burning its eyes. It had found a way, and now it wanted to use this strain to gain the maximum power it could.
I am familiar with Marina and often say that I have certain looks appear in my eyes when I am trying to do something that is very dangerous but also extremely beneficial.
"Having fun, harnessing the power?" I asked, and it couldn"t help but surprise it.
"Don"t be surprised; it is clear what you are doing," I added, and I could feel it calm down before a toothy smile appeared on its face.
"Yes, I am harnessing the power hidden in me, and I have to thank you for that," It said, "Well, I am feeling proud," I replied to the smile on its face, have become even bigger.
"I will make you even more proud by killing you and eating your flesh," it said hungrily.
"Easy there, it seemed like a little bit of power had gone over your head. I think it is time to tell you who the boss is," I said, and the speed and strength of the three arms attacking it became double, alarming it immediately.
Soon, the b.a.s.t.a.r.d got the alarm in control and began to view the vines as a challenge, and as I had expected, it began to harness the power even more ravenously.
Buzz!
As this was happening, the Grimms inside me turned to dust, and two more streams of strengthening essence had entered my runes and started absorbing into my body and soul.
My body had absorbed a lot of strengthening energy in a short time, but despite that, there was not the slightest reduction in its hunger; instead, the hunger had increased further.
The nirvana had cleansed my body but also increased its hunger. My body is now absorbing the strengthening energy without getting overwhelmed.
Once upon a time, the core used to need to slow down the flow to let my body and soul absorb the strengthening energy, but now everything that came out of runes gets immediately absorbed.
It made me quite curious about the amount of strengthening energy I will need in my body to let it feel overwhelmed.
It will be fun to find it out.
