"Its finished," I said as I opened my eyes fourteen minutes later and took out the air pen. I did not get a chance for Rhea to say anything and concentrated on the air-pen in my hand.

  The next moment, very tiny runes, smaller than even ants, begin to come out of the air pen. The air is a very high-level artifact; it could make the runes small and big with a similar amount of ink as their big counterparts.

  These runes will become bigger when they are attached to the formation on the gate. I had made them smaller due to the constraint of space where I am hiding, and also, I did not want to attract any attention with big runic formation floating in front of me.

  It took about a minute for me to materialize the formation through the ink, and it was about the size of my hand in its length and width.

  With it done, I walked out of the hiding spot, careful in avoiding any broken and activated formations.

  The battle is raging, and the attacks have become even more powerful; from what I had gathered, the Grandmaster level Boar monster is seemed to be more than a match for the Bullman, but Bullman also seemed to be hell-bent on killing it, seeing the attacks it is using.

  Soon we reached the gate, and I sent the formation floating toward it; as it went, it began to increase its size, and soon its size became similar to the runes on the formation.

  Buzz!

  The formations buzzed as they attached themselves to the gate, "Let’s go," I said a second later. I could break the formation, but I do not have an ink powerful enough to do it.

  Clin!

  From the beginning, I had designed the formation not intending to break but stun its working for a few seconds. Which would be enough for us to open the gates and go inside, and we just did the gate might be, but it worked on the mechanism.

  Rhea entered the gate first and before I did and closed the gates behind me. If I let it open, the formation will surely activate, and I do not want to find out what it could do.

  As I had entered inside, I have received a couple of surprises. First is the change in concentration of energy; it had increased three times instantly, and my runes picked up a couple of resource signals, some of which are a little intense.

  Earlier I had sensed a few of them, but they were a little weak, and their number was not what I am sensing right now.

  It seemed like the material of the gate was more powerful than I had imagined blocking my runes in such a way, as it is very hard, especially since I have formed the core with Rule Bending as my main element.

  In front of me is a Manor which could not be said too big by what I have seen in the city so far but also not small and it has a thing which most manors I had seen here did not have, a big garden. I am sure it is a luxury that very few could afford in the city when it was at its prime.

  The garden in its must have been very beautiful in its day, but now it is just an overgrown mess that had even spread to the Manor.

  Though there are a few very precious things there which I have spotted and sent my strings to retrieve as I walked toward the Manor.

  Sup Sup Sup

  We had just taken a step when tens of green things came at me us, their speed is so great even those who are step away from Grandmaster would not be able to match, and the sharp aura they are releasing makes one feel as if their soul getting pierced.

  It would delay their response inevitably, which is more than enough time for these things to finish their job.

  Though both of us are not surprised at all by their sudden attack. Rhea activated her defensive ability while I had

  "Stop!"

  I said, and all twelve things stopped in front of me and revealed themselves. They are mantis monsters and look like they are made of green metals.

  "Their blades are quite sharp," Rhea said, and I couldn’t help but nod. The blades of monsters are wickedly sharp.

  I dealt with them quickly and stored them in my storage. If they had not attacked us, they would be fine, but they did, and I am not merciful enough to release them back after they attacked me as they would not have shown mercy if we were weak.

  After we did not even stop as we dealt with monsters, our priority was to get into the Manor as soon as possible we would not get discovered by the two Grandmasters.

  Soon, we reached the Manor and walked toward its left; on the way, I had collected a few more plants that had caught my eye.

  "Shit, formations," Rhea said. The formations cover every part of this Manor, even the one that is slightly collapsed. If it not for that, we would have directly jumped into the Manor instead of wasting time in breaking the formation on its gate.

  I looked at formations; I had completely disregarded the broken formation and the ones that are activated; solving them would waste too much time.

  There are a couple of formations but only one which is complete and not activated and through which we could enter inside the Manor. I scanned it with the ability before hitting behind the bushes with Rhea to solve the formation.

  I am quite excited to solve the formation as one of the things I am sensing is not far…… It would not take me a minute to reach that thing as long as it is not protected by formation or there is formation on the way.
