Chapter 1936 - Curseland 65
A little more than a week had pa.s.sed since the war began, and already more than twenty million people had died in them.
This was is brutal would be an understatement; if this continued on then, it would cross the number of fatalities last war has before it even reached the central continent, and we are powerless to stop it; we have to match their aggression with aggression, a force with force.
I just wish that old monsters would just attack their high council and destroy their pillars; doing that, everything would be easy, but it is not easy as one thinks.
Their high council stayed in secrete locations, most people say it is inside their hidey-hole, but many people disagree. Only the powerful have an idea about their real locations while us regular people could only guess about it.
Even we are able to find the high council and fight then, there is no guarantee our old monsters will be able to beat them.
"Are you ready?" The lead technician asked, "Yes," I replied without a hint of hesitation; there is no need for hesitation; I had already made my decision and done deep research above it. As long as I have a little luck, I will get what I want from this ruin.
With my affirmation, the technical activated the teleportation gates, and the connection had formed with the ruin..
"Best of luck, successor," The lead technician said, "Thank You," I said and took a step toward the teleportation gate. Usually, it is a teacher or council member who comes to see me off whenever I go to ruin, but this time I am alone.
Everyone is extremely busy; even Elina had gone to ruin two days ago; this time, I am alone from the beginning; well, at least I have Ashlyn and Nero with me; I won"t feel that lonely.
I had stepped inside the water screen of the teleportation gate, and the next moment, I was in a spatial tunnel. I stopped making any movements and sealed any energy that was leaking out of me; I did not want to do anything that would hamper my travel to ruin.
Thud!
Few seconds pa.s.sed by when the spatial tunnel ended, and I was thrown into the ruin hard. The gravity, which is seven points three times greater than our world, makes the hit even stronger; the gravity of this ruin is nothing in front of an environment which could kill a Tyrant in few seconds; even elites would not survive this place without proper protection.
This ruin is called AX8865 or Curseland 65; This ruin is cursed, not literally cursed but filled with dense curse energy. The energy is so dense that it will kill an unprotected elite within an hour; a leader would die within half a day if they remained unprotected too.
This curse energy is scary because it eats away the protection. If someone is protecting themselves with energy later, it will eat that up. An elite could only survive for half a day before they are completely drained, and a leader would survive for four to five days at most here.
The council had objected to me coming here fearing my safety, till I had shown them a little bit of my abilities which are perfect against this environment.
There are two reasons I chose this ruin, it will give me supplement materials of curse element and divine crystals, each and every ruin I had selected had the last element common. They had to have divine crystals or resources similar to them in the runes.
Currently, I have finished collecting all the general materials and eight of nine const.i.tutional materials. The const.i.tutional materials I am referring to are body, soul, and seven elements of my const.i.tution.
Of the nine const.i.tutional materials, I had finished collecting the supplementary material of the body, Sunfire, and fire. Collecting the main material and supplementary materials of the latter two are quite easy; fire is the most common element, and there are a lot of materials related to it are available.
I had also collected other types of supplementary materials as well, but I need more. So, aside from divine crystal and curse-type materials, I will also focus on collecting as much as treasures I want; those things will help me get the things I need.
With the war starting, many organizations were operating their treasuries, and even Pyramid had opened many exchanging platforms for smother trading. Some of them could only be accessed by the leaders of the organizations.
I planned to stay in this ruin for ten days at most; I hope I will be able to reach that place in time, I thought and took out the map.
I have a specific place in my mind; it is called Glow Palace, that the place where I have a chance to find the Divine Crystals.
One person had obtained it, and three people saw it while tens of other people who went there did not find it and even lost their life, it worth a try as it a very credible lead, not to mention Glow Palace have a lot of curse related material and as curse energy, there is one of densest in ruins.
Chew Chew
I did not waste any time and called the Ashlyn out, who came out of chirping and flew up in the air. With Ashlyn"s help, I would not have any problem finding where I am; I hope I am not too far away from Glow Palace; it would waste time, and I do not have much of it already.
If I am furthest from the glow palace, with my speed, it will not take me more than five days to reach it as long as I do not encounter any danger. The environment here is not the only danger in this place; there are other dangers as well, the monsters of this place and, of course, the Grimm Monsters, Curse Masters to be exact.
While one would expect curse masters to be in heavy numbers, their numbers are not great here. The monsters of this ruin seemed to hate them to their bones and actively hunt them. So, their numbers are lesser than one would expect.
Still, I have to be careful, seeing most of the Grimm Monsters here are leader cla.s.s, and there might be Master cla.s.s hiding here, though the chances of that happening is quite low seeing the war had begun, I have to have to be careful, a Master cla.s.s Tyrant could kill me in a single attack.
