  With a chirp, Ashlyn flew away, and Nero also melded into the night before, streaking away with a speed that was no lower than that of Ashlyn.

  He will be fine; even if the vidette comes, it would not be able to do anything to Nero, would even have run away if Nero got serious. He might look cute and cuddly, but he is extremely dangerous with those strange abilities.

  After they left in the opposite direction, I also picked up the direction and began to fly away.

  As Lord Whitman said, everything this ruin possesses had been harvested before even it came to our world, and since I don't know where the Grimm Monster is, my best bet would be picking up direction and flying toward it.

  The Grimm Monsters would come soon; I wonder what power they will have. Lord Whitman had said there are forty to fifty Grimm Monsters who have come to this ruin, with a combination of leaders and Masters.

  The intelligence may not be reliable since there are ways to quietly send people in ruin without being detected by enemies' sensors; they just cost a lot more resources, but Grimm Monsters are rich, and they use sneaky teleportation gates a lot more than we do.

  I had appeared in ruin for barely two minutes when I sensed the Grimm Monster appear as it tore through space.

  It is a Master, without doubt, the space of this ruin little stronger than our world and would need at least a Master class Tyrants strength to tear the space.

  I had not hidden, and it immediately sensed me before appearing in front of me a second later. It is a Twin Horned Ratman with a peak-Master class aura.

  "Humans have sent another group; I bet you would be delicious. I did not get a chance to eat a Master since I had come to this ruin," The Ratman said, and its aura exploded with power as it came at me.

  "You do not have a bloodline," I said with disappointment as I appeared in front of me. It opened its mouth to say something but found not to be able do it; it had been frozen on its spot, unable to even blink.

  "Do you know if any of humans are alive?" I asked as I freed up its mouth. "You can forget about getting any answer from a human," It said, and the next second, I saw consciousness in its disappearing and its lifeforce rapidly.

  I sighed seeing that, and the Grimm Monser disappeared, and the next second, the harvest process began in my core.

  It had killed itself through the secret seal, though it is not dead completely, it will be in few minutes, I would be easily able to harvest it, and inside my core, I slow down weakening of lifeforce and get a better essence rose than outside.

  With it being harvested into my core, I continued with my journey, but I had to stop a few seconds later as three more masters appeared, and as they saw me, their eyes couldn't help but brighten up, and they came at me.

  My eyes also brightened up seeing them, as one of them possesses bloodline. "Let's kill this bastard and feast on it before Lord Hrur finds it and take it from us," said the Grimm Monster in the middle as they came at me.

  'Where are the leaders?' I asked myself.

  There were supposed to be leaders here, but not I had found them; I have also seen come across four peak Master class Tyrant in a matter of minutes. Even with a large number of powerhouses, Masters did not grow on trees in the Grimm race.

  There seemed to be going something here, and I asked Ashlyn and Nero to focus a little more on investigating.

  "Human die!"

  Three of them shouted in unison and came at me with three sides, but as they appeared close to me, they all froze up in the air, incapable of doing anything.

  I covered myself with an energy dome before spreading the things inside them. It took me only a couple of seconds to do that, they might be peak elites, but they are too weak in front of me. They were weak when I had broken into the Tyrant class, and they are still weak now when I had reached the limit of my level.

  Speaking of limit, I am quite happy that I have finally found the Grimm Monster with bloodline. With its peak Master class, power, I would definitely take me to the limit, which would clear one of the biggest hurdles of me breaking into the next level.

  Buzz!

  Eleven seconds after the strings spread inside the Grimm Monsters, runes came out and began the harvesting.

  The essence rose to begin to form in all three Grimm Monsters while the purified blood essence of one Grimm Monster started to come inside my core, dividing itself into the five parts. Even after sprouting, the mysterious tree is taking its usual share of the purified bloodline essence.

  Around thirty-two seconds into harvesting, I had finally reached the limit while my share got divided among the four, which continued sucking the energy, which had lasted for another twenty seconds.

  Buzz!

  As the harvest is finished, the strengthening energy released from my core, and it filled my body and soul before it began to absorb it, reaching closer and closer to its limit.

  Hun!

  I was tracking the progress carefully when I noticed the change inside my core and was shocked out of my mind seeing what I was seeing. It had shocked me so much that my thoughts stopped for a second.

  The mysterious tree is growing at visible speed, but it is not the thing that had shocked me. The thing which had shocked me was it releasing the energy from it to all the other plants present in my core and also making them grow visibly.

  This is earthshaking and would affect my life in a great way.
