3343 The Wall II
The Red Horn Antman is shocked by what happened, but self-preservation had kept it moving, which is great.
A couple of seconds later, it turned, and we have come across each other. There is more than a mile of distance between us, but it is shrinking with every step I take.
The scared face had now vanished and in its place, a bloody grin appeared on its face, along with the red sword.
Soon there was a less than hundred meters of distance between us, and a powerful aura exploded out of its body.
“Die human!” it roared and swung down its sword.
A sword appeared in my hand and aura blasted out of my body, but it didn’t seem to make it feel threatened.
A grin on its face becomes even bigger and there is even mocking in its eyes.
These expressions remained on its face till its sword reached me and was about to crash through me when suddenly I disappeared and appeared in front of its chest.
Puch!
My sword pierced through its heart, while all it could do was watch.
It is a Peak Sovereign and a good one at that. If I had met it outside, I would have struggled for a long time, to get a chance like that, but here, I had simply appeared in front of me and killed it.
The suppression of its place already affects me less than the others and on top of that, after brown water, I had even got bigger immunity.
So, here I am a lot stronger than I would be outside and I made use of that.
A moment later, I had Grimm in my storage, and I once again resumed my journey through the tunnels, fast as I could.
It might not seem wise to waste time killing the Grimm, where there is a bloody storm chasing me. That could kill me with trouble, but it is not the case.
Killing the Grimm will help me against the storm. In a few minutes, the strengthening energies will come out of my core. They will increase my strength, which will automatically increase my speed.
Thus, increasing my chances of escaping the storm.
Buzz!
A minute passed, and the strengthening energy is released from my core. These energies are thick and powerful.
It is the first Peak Sovereign bloodline Grimm I had killed. The one I might have not been able to kill if I had met it outside, but here I did, and now enjoying the powerful, strengthening energy.
It is increasing my speed every second.
Inside my core, a powerful bloodline energy came out, and it is focused on only one plant.
The spatial tree.
I used one of the spatial seeds; I had in the creation of a clay block. With the time I had, I couldn’t use the seed to all its potential, but it will do the job.
The resources I am sending to my family, I couldn’t trust simple storage.
It is something that will only be opened by my sister or mother. Though, with the power of the people of that place, I don’t think they would have any problem opening it.
I do not think that will happen; I feel that Magnus gives it to those who are for it. If I had a doubt in my heart, I wouldn’t have done that.
I already have a couple of spatial seeds, but this will be at the Peak Sovereign grade. The highest I will have before I make the next breakthrough.
It will be tremendously useful for me.
Hun!
I was busy in my thoughts when Nero saw something, which forced him to hide in the wall. It had placed a huge choice in front of me and I decided to take the risk and go with my heart.
A couple of seconds later, a group of three natives appeared in front of me, with Earth Sovereign leading them.
My heart started to beat faster and faster, looking at them as they looked at me. Soon, they appeared by me and kept looking at them, before disappearing a couple of seconds later.
I couldn’t help but take a sigh of relief. I knew the natives wouldn’t do anything to me.
Still, I wouldn’t have taken the risk. If we hadn’t been running from the storm.
‘Twenty minutes, Father,’ informed Nero. He had been doing that every ten minutes. I don’t like it, but I didn’t ask him to stop.
I have been running for forty-five minutes and we have not got out of the storm’s range. I could feel its energies and knew how powerful it will be; it won’t take even a second to kill me.
If I didn’t want to die, then I will have to run away from it, which I have been doing for the past forty-five minutes and hadn’t succeeded.
‘Ten minutes,’
He informed and there was barely any change on my face.
I have been counting the time myself and knew I have ten minutes or a few seconds less if my clones were right in their calculations.
Which they usually are.
Hun!
Another monster passed by me; it is the fourth one, and I moved hesitantly, as the monster had only glanced at me, and moved ahead.
Only five minutes remained, and I felt the dread setting in my heart. I wanted to stop and move back to the pools of brown water I saw; with my current abilities, I might be able to survive.
There will be injuries, but as long as I survive, I will search for a way to heal them.
‘Father, we have reached the end!’ said Nero suddenly, destroying the thoughts I am having.
Ecstasy filled my heart and used every speck of the strength I have and moved faster than I have ever before and soon, I reached the spot.
Immediately, I could feel the absence of the storm. There is a clear boundary at one side, there is a mighty storm brewing and on the other side, there is an absolute calm.
I wanted to stop and watch it storm arrive; it is less than five minutes away, but I pushed that thought away from my mind as it had appeared.
It is too risky. Who knows if the storm changes its direction and came at me?
There is no information about it happening, but I didn’t want to take the risk. I want to be away from it as possible.
I reduced my speed, but not too much; constantly using the full power is tiring and I don’t want to tire myself. There is still a large distance needed to be crossed and I might even need to fight battles.
I want to be at my best as possible and that will require me to conserve my strength, which is fine by me.
My target is getting out of here safely, not getting out quickly as possible.
