TING Ting ting

  The last of hammers fell on my phantom before everything had stopped. The humanoids placed the hammers back in their place before turning off.

  I looked at my phantom, which had turned completely colorless that not even a speck of greyness could be seen. On the other hand, every vessel and vein became clear; I am seeing the veins so clearly that I could barely sense them with my soul power.

  It looked so pure that I had a hard time believing that it was really me.

  I could already feel that it was going to help me a lot. The data I will get from phantom not only improve my inheritance but will also help in improving my healing arts.

  I would have stared at the phantom for hours, copying every vessel and vein, but I did not have time. I had spent five hours in my breakthrough and practicing the first stage of my art, and I could see my friends getting worried.

  They would attack the formation if I did not come out soon.

  I opened my eyes and burned all the vomit like impurities covering my body. The impurities and the horrible smell coming out of it had instantly disappeared as my silver fire touched them.

  Seeing that, I waved my hand, dissolving the protecting screen covering the whole breakthrough formation, though not before adjusting my aura. I do not want to kill them with shock revealing my level to them.

  "Micheal!"

  Both of them said in unison as I had revealed myself before appearing in front of me instantly and looking at me from top to bottom.

  "You are fine," Rhea said, and I could see her taking a sigh of relief. "When I saw the formation entering the energy whirlpool, I have thought the worse," Jim said before directly looking into my eyes.

  "So, have you succeded?" He asked, and I could tell Rhea also had the same question in her eyes.

  "What do you think?" I asked back and released a faint amount of aura. It is, of course, of the Grandmaster class, not of the leader class which I am.

  "Damn! It seemed like you have really become the first Grandmaster of our generation," Jim said before his smile took a mirthless shade. "You have gotten me into little trouble with your breakthrough, you know? Sarah going to be quite irked about it," He said while messaging his head.

  "That is your problem to deal with," I replied. I have no sympathy for Sarah, even happy knowing the frustration she would feel knowing I had beaten her again.

  Sarah never liked me from the beginning; I had to improve our relationship when I began dating her sister but gave up after some time when I had realized it was a lost cause. She is never going to like me, so I just stopped trying.

  "With you becoming a Grandmaster, we now stand a real chance to survive," She said, looking the both Grimm Grandmasters on our left and right.

  "You guy should not waste any time; I am here if Grimms came," I said and placed my hand on the shoulder of both of my friends. As I did, silvery runes began to come out of my hands, and a few seconds later, it formed a secondary armor over them.

  This cover would repel all the chaotic energy coming at them; with it, they do not need mist cover or eat the tablet; it would not let any chaotic energy inside unless they willed it.

  "It seemed like you have gained some cool abilities, reaching the Grandmaster class," Jim said, to I just smiled. Yes, now I could do things which I could not before and what I just did was a small teaser of real abilities I have gotten.

  With the new protection, they walked out of the energy dome to harvest the resources. Seeing the purity here, the resources here are quite powerful than tens of them had pinged my armor, and I would have gone to harvest them if I did not have more important things to do.

  I had gained great power after leveling up and practicing my art, and now, I have to get control over than before the Grimm Monsters came. Uncontrolled power is very dangerous and would spell my doom, so I have to get it under my control as soon as possible.

  So, I summoned my armor which had also changed, there are 20% more strings now, and the silver and green color became even more pronounced.

  More strings covering it gave it a heavier feel than before and made it look more dangerous than its slimmer predecessor.

  With my armor summoned, I took out my sword and powered its weight enchantment till my hands started shaking under its weight before I began to move it slowly.

  As I moved the sword, heaviness spread around; a small domain of force had formed without me even trying. It is due to the sheer weight of my sword and the power I had given it, it had inevitably formed the domain.

  Time passed by, and before I knew it, a day had passed, but the goatman still was not able to break the formation, but from what I could see through the formation, it had reached very close.

  Let it come, a day of practice had given me a needed control over my abilities, and I have to say they have improved shockingly.

  It took half a day more before the formation of Goatman Grandmaster was ready, and it had sent toward the layer. My friends have stopped what they were doing and appeared beside me as Goatman Grandmaster, and Snakeman beside it stepped into the layer.

  Hun!

  I don’t know whether it is intentional or just spatial energy covering the layers, but instead of appearing in our layer, the two Grimm Monsters appeared where the rest of Grimm monsters and Bullman Grandmaster are.

  "Fuck, they have regrouped!" Rhea said with horror in her eyes while I had remained unfazed…… Whether it is one or two, it does not matter; I will be able to deal with them.
