Under the frozen gazes of the four monsters, I took out the air pen and started to release the runes. The runes, which are heavily covered in rule-bending power.

  It is the rule-bending power that is giving me the confidence I have; without it, I would not have dared to do something like that and straightforwardly informed the higher-ups about it, let them fight to the death about it.

  Hundreds of runes came out of the air pen every second, and finally, seven minutes later, a huge formation appeared on the tree and around it.

  Buzz!

  I looked at formation for any mistakes there are, but I did not find any. Seeing that, I had immediately activated the first part of the formation.

  As I did, the blue runes covering the tree lit up and transformed into dense blue light, which covered the whole tree before it started to flow down. As energy flowed down, it began to repel the solid iron ore as liquid, and its roots began to appear.

  There are hundreds of small and big roots to the tree, and they are spread far and wide, much deeper than I had expected. Still, I had made the preparations for that. The blue light begins to repel the ore, revealing the biggest to smallest root.

  I am not planning on leaving behind even the tiniest root; I am taking all precautions that will increase the chances of replanting the tree.

  It took a total of eleven minutes for all the roots of the tree to become visible. The longest root which the trees have is above twenty meters deep; now, every part of it is visible without the slightest damage of it.

  Buzz!

  As the roots became visible, I activated the second and last formation. The repelling of ore have affected the tree as the yellowish layer began to appear on it rapidly; from what I could see, I barely had a minute before I lost this metal essence tree forever.

  As the second formation activated, a pink sphere appeared, and it surrounded the tree whole before it floated up with a metal essence tree in it.

  Just as I happened, I touched the huge pink sphere; as I did, the pink sphere disappeared. I closed my eyes appeared inside my core with a tree floating in a pink sphere.

  Without wasting any time, I brought the tree down, and as the sphere touched the through, it disappeared, and roots of metal essence tree began to seep inside the ground through a huge pink formation that shone on the ground.

  It is not just on the outside I have created the formation but also on the inside. Within thirty seconds, all its roots seeped into the ground, with the tree standing on the ground.

  I looked at the metal essence tree worriedly as it still withering, turning more and more yellow by second. If it continued for twenty more seconds, then the tree would die, and I would get nothing from it.

  So, each second the tree would yellowed, I would feel like someone had hit me hard physically. It is too painful to watch this precious thing wither and know that there are high chances that this tree will die within a few seconds.

  Ten seconds passed by, and no change had occurred in a tree; it is still withering at a rapid pace. I felt like crying, and there were even tears forming in my eyes.

  Hun!

  Six more seconds passed when suddenly withering speed lessened by half, and in the next second, it had completely disappeared, leaving a yellowish tree behind. Though it looked quite withered, there is still huge lifeforce stored in it, not to mention it had also started taking a large amount of nutrients through the soil.

  "YES!"

  I scremed loudly in joy after examing the tree is in no danger; in one or two days, it will gain back its previous vibrancy, and I would have to feed it metals to produce the essence fruits from them.

  I have a large number of metals and even metal essences, but I am not going to use them. This is a great treasure, and I am going to give it very precious things to eat, so it can provide me with great treasures.

  The Grimm Monster may not have wanted to damage it by changing the metals around it, but I have no problem; I even have a grand plan for it. There is a book in a broken library that had ways to take the maximum benefits from the essence tree most efficiently; I am going to use the ways described in it.

  The metal essence tree going to be extremely helpful to me and also a great money-making machine for me.

  It would have been amazing if this essence tree was about elemental essences, which is considered the best essence tree, but I am more than satisfied with this metal essence tree. It is going to bring me a huge number of benefits and fortune with it.

  I observed the tree for a couple of minutes before I pulled my consciousness out of the core and looked around.

  This cavern had nothing important in it; if there had been, then the Grimm Monster had taken it, and now that I had taken the tree, it is time to leave this place.

  As for these Grimm friends, I have to deal with them together before leaving immediately. My seeds found a powerful mark on them. The moment I killed them, the Grandmaster tyrant who put a mark on them will know it and seeing preciousness of the metal essence tree, it might come here in person.

  While it is dangerous to kill them, not killing them is even more dangerous, but I am not worried about the consequences. I already have a plan to kill them and escape without putting myself in danger.

  "Let's go; your friend is waiting for you above," I said to four Grimm Monsters as I stepped into the formation while four of them entered inside stiffly with great resistance burning in their eyes, which unfortunately is useless.

  Once my seeds seeped inside you, you are good as gone.
