Chapter 3587 Blockade
"I should be able to reach there in one and a half days," I said, looking at the destination in the crystal.
I didn"t waste any time and moved toward it and, like always; I didn"t take the direct route. There is no harm in being cautious; at most, it will waste a few hours, but if there is something fishy, I will be much safer, on that route.
An hour pa.s.sed, and I had only come across one native, who was also moving in the same direction as me.
He hinted that we would travel together, but I politely declined.
I am safer alone; a team increases the chances of discovery in places like this and restricts me from using all my abilities.
The team also has its advantages.
Not all dangers could be dealt with alone, and many times, I found myself wis.h.i.+ng that I had been with the team. It would have made a lot of things easier; I would be able to take the risks that I usually wouldn"t.
Though, when I weigh the advantages and disadvantages of both. The benefits of being alone are far outpaced by others.
Hours pa.s.sed, and I started to sense more and more Grimms.
"It seemed like, they have formed a blockade," I thought, seeing the number of Grimms. The things were serious than I had imagined.
I immediately reduce the speed, to not get discovered by them.
The Grimms are taking complete advantage of their numbers. They are not even letting us get to our gathering spot; this huge net they have formed will kill quite a lot of people.
The thing, that made me turned somber is that there is nothing our Sky Sovereigns could do against it.
Their numbers are not dense enough that they could wipe out a large number of them in a single attack. There is also the problem of Grimm Sky Sovereigns, who are waiting for natives to do that.
So, they could gang up and kill them.
Though they seemed to be helping in their own way. I could feel auras of native Sky Sovereigns all over, unlike the Grimms ones, who were hiding.
I had sensed two Grimm Sky Sovereigns till now; both of them hiding very well and I am sure there would be more. Thankfully, both of those Sky Sovereigns are hiding far away, or I wouldn"t be walking right now.
Hun!
Over half an hour pa.s.sed, and I kept moving slowly when I sensed a juicy Grimm.
It is not only Grimm with the bloodline I had sensed or the one, I could kill, but it is one I could kill with the single attack.
To be honest, I shouldn"t take such risks, when there are two Sky Sovereigns to my left and right, but it is the same condition that is forcing me to take the risk.
I know, that things are dangerous, but killing the b.a.s.t.a.r.d like that, will help me survive in what place I am and the things I will face in the future.
So, I took a deep breath and moved.
Nine minutes later, I reached the Werewolf. I could attack it and kill it and it won"t be able to discover me, but it is too risky to do that, in a place like this.
Understanding that, I used my most trusted weapon.
Strings.
They came out of me and moved toward the Werewolf. It took them a few seconds to reach the Werewolf before they moved to wrap themselves around its body, while the Werewolf remained oblivious to the biggest danger of its life.
It is patrolling like it had been asked to do, search for the natives and kill them. If it couldn"t kill them, then call the others who could.
The Grimms didn"t look bored. There was even a smile on its face, as if it had remembered something.
I followed it silently, while my strings wrapped around it.
A minute had pa.s.sed, and I moved, while at the same time, the Werewolf froze. It was shocked at first when it felt it bound before a horror appeared on its face when it saw it couldn"t even twitch.
Not only twitch, but it also couldn"t even bring out its soul sense or bloodline energy. Everything that came out was going into the spongy field that covered it.
It was then, that it noticed it and could see the rage flas.h.i.+ng in its eyes, but that emotion had lasted for a second before it had morphed into pitying.
Unfortunately for it, there is no pity in my heart for a monster like this.
"Hope you will not be a Grimm in the next life," I said gently to it and pulled it into my core.
A moment later, I moved.
They will notice its absence soon, and I want to be as far away from this place as possible.
They discovered its absence four and half minutes later and searched around, but by that time. I had crossed quite a lot of distance, that even their soul senses hadn"t reached me.
Still, I remained careful, especially of the two Sky Sovereigns, but it seemed like. They didn"t care much about the death of the Earth Sovereigns or those Earth Sovereigns didn"t inform them.
There was no change in their sneaky soul sense.
Of course, these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds aren"t just hiding. They are also scanning the areas with their soul sense, but since they are in stealth, their soul sense is weak and its range is short.
If they came out and spread their soul sense to full range, their soul sense would even reach me. It is why I had kept my abode ready; the moment I sensed their soul sense close to me, I would hide my abode.
It is the best place to hide. It is even difficult for Sky Sovereigns to find me once I am there.
Till now, the soul sense of nineteen Sky Sovereigns have scanned over it, and not a single one of them had discovered my abode.
I couldn"t help, but feel proud of that.
