"Good, keep at it, force it to fight it for its survival," I said to Leonard, who is in the tub of dark black solution with hundreds of my vines attached to him. He is in extreme pain and struggling greatly with pores all over his body like he is going through mutation, which is partially true.

  Currently, I am performing a very risky procedure on Leonard; I am attacking his constitution with mutation. I have targeted it with mutations and contamination since the beginning, but my ways were never this direct or dangerous to this level.

  I have only dared to do it because his constitution has finally become strong enough to bear such direct attack. It will help dig out the potential even further, closer to making it stronger to the level I need.

  There is one other way I could make him progress faster, if I give my all, I would be able to take him a step closer to Grandmaster and eventually Grandmaster, in a much shorter time, but to do that, I will have to burn his constitution and potential, making a Grandmaster his final stage.

  If I tell Leonard that most other people in his position, they would accept that proposal with closed eyes, like most people, Grandmaster is a dream that they would never be able to achieve in their whole life.

  I will not do something like that, though I doing some pretty unethical shit on my mentees; even I have a limit, and burning the potential of my mentees is my limit, I would not cross it for any cost.

  I am making huge efforts to increase their potential, so even without me, they will continue to progress without any problem. Though, with me behind them, they would progress much faster, with fewer obstacles coming in their way.

  'Good,' I said inside me as I looked at data on his constitution and attacked it with even more mutation. This Grimm Mutation is not the only danger to him but an even bigger danger to me since I am storing it in my strings which are connected to my body.

  The process continued for little more than an hour before I had finally stopped, and when it did, Leonard finally let go and fell unconscious.

  The process was too taxing, regular people would not be able to bear it for a minute, and he bore it for one and half hours, even I got quite amazed by it. To be honest, I had not expected him to last more than an hour, but he again proved me wrong with his resilience.

  "Don't worry, you will not have to go through this process," I said to Danielle, who was watching the process with great horror.? "I don't think I had the will to bear it even if I wanted to go through it," She said so softly that I was barely able to hear it.

  I shook my head to that before again focusing on the rapidly changing vitals of Leonard; the constitution is bringing the change into his body.

  The change had lasted for nearly ten minutes before it had stopped, but I waited for nearly half an hour before I finally stopped looking.

  "Practice with him when he wakes up," I said to Danielle and walked into the formation. A second later, I appeared back into my quarters and lay on the couch. A few minutes later, I began instructing Neela through the link created by the seed.

  The lessons have lasted for nearly four hours, and by that time, the evening has come.

  I freshened up and cooked another of my recipe for dinner that the being in the tome has rejected. After eating it with Ashlyn and Nero, I again began training and trained for several hours before I showered entered inside my core.

  There are still a few things I have to do before I go sleep; I looked around my island, noting down any changes that happened during the day before I walked into the west side of the island where a three-story building made of gems stood.

  This building may look delicate, but it is a very powerful abode; I had found it in the storage of Grey Mane Lionaman.

  I had named it the essence palace, and I used to research on the essence roses and create weapons out of them.

  As I walked inside, I saw thumb-side essence roses, which are glittering like stars. These are not normal essence roses but what was created by vines and have complete data on Grimm Monster that vine had harvested, the method of harvesting, the time it took, and the resistance it felt during it.

  Each vine only produces one, and they are extremely precious; due to them, I am improving the crystal roses considerably.

  There are more than sixty of them, with the last two comings yesterday. I would have studied them as I usually do, but I have a huge workload; I had to provide ten crystal roses of Master rank to Pyramid; they are quite bitch to create.

  I had already created seven of them and only need three more; I should be able to do it with the new formation I had created a few days ago.

  I went to the second floor, collected all the resources that were placed there, including thousands of essence roses from all kinds of Grimm Monsters in all grades.

  The Pyramid is happy by the result of essence roses would be an understatement; they are beyond happy. Not only are they have got a very destructive weapon, but they also got resources that are extremely helpful against the Grimm Monster.

  85% of the essence roses harvested from the battlefield are toward the Totem Artifacts. The essence roses make the Totem Artifacts extremely powerful and give them a distinct ability.

  The most dangerous thing about them is that they are very lethal to Grimm Monster; even a touch of them would give a wound to Grimm Monster, and a big slash would create a festering injury…… It is a big advantage any human would like to have in this bloody war.
