The Goatman stopped with my command with deep shock in its eyes. It had recovered from it immediately and attacked me again with the corrupting soul flames.

  I could contain them as my strings have covered it completely, but I did not. This Grimm Monster does not have a bloodline, so the only thing it would be able to give me is essence rose.

  So, when I saw it so willingly give me these corrupting soul flames, who I am to reject such precious gift.

  I have a feeling that these corrupting flames are going to be very useful to me once my quern purifies them.

  The soul corrupting flames came at me before going directly going into the quern inside my core. These flames are weaker than the soul corrupting flames it had used before and taking considerable efforts to produce.

  I could feel each second; its aura was getting weaker and weaker before it stopped on its own, seeing the futility of its efforts.

  "It seemed like my soul corrupting flames are useless against you," It said as I freed its lips before a vicious look appeared in its eyes.

  "Let's die together then," It said, and aura so powerful that it had momentarily frozen me in my spot came out of its body.

  It is self-destructing, and unlike the Masters and other powerhouses, the self-destruction of the Grandmaster is no joke. It is so powerful that even with all my defensive abilities, I would get instantly vaporized if I got caught in it.

  Thankfully, I had already prepared for such a scenario; there is fine invisible string brimming power rule-bending power is wrapped around its life core. I could stop self-destruction if I wanted, but I would not do that.

  With it burning, its core would expedite its refinement, so why the hell would I do a silly thing like stopping its self-destruction.

  As it begins its self-destruction, the string wrapped around its core lit up and began to suck away that tremendous power, not letting it create the fission inside the core.

  The Goatman got alarmed seeing it and tried to stop, but the things had already have gone beyond its control.

  Dhub!

  Four minutes passed, and the husk of Goaatman collasped collapsed, revealing essence rose of great power.

  The essence rose is grey in color with silvery soul lines across it, and it is filled with so much power that the first time, I hesitated to put it inside my core. As no matter how many protections I put on it, if it explodes, there is no way I would survive the explosion.

  "Its beautiful, but I am also feeling terror seeing it," James said as he looked at the rose with awe and wonder, and also lust.

  Their fight was over quite a while ago; I had stopped the fight the moment I began harvesting the Goatman.

  I had put my seed inside them the moment I walked inside these layers and saw the tough fight they have given to my friends; it is, without doubt, I have gotten the precious data from them.

  I moved my fingers, and seven Grimm Monsters appeared in front of m, and several seconds later, their harvest began.

  It is a good thing there is one Grimm Monster with bloodline as harvest is very fast. As always, the mysterious tree took the whole vidette while purified bloodline energy was shared among all stakeholders.

  It took less than thirty seconds to harvest before strengthening energy released and growth energy released by the mysterious tree, both of which seemed paled in compared to what Bullman had given me.

  I still appreciate the energy; it is helping me, and most importantly, the resources inside me grow faster.

  The Bloodline energy from the Bullman had changed everything in my core, more than my breakthrough. That tremendous bloodline energy not only strengthened me but also helps me grow my resources to an unbelievable degree.

  I did not carefully look at the change in my core, except for glancing at it. I want to take the time to observe every change, and that will take the time which I don't have.

  Thankfully, the battles of Grandmasters are fast, it might not look like it, but my fight with both of Grandmasters lasted only about fifteen minutes, which is about the average time how the battles of Grandmasters went.

  After the harvest finished, I wordlessly gave the four storages of Masters to my friends, which they accepted before turning to a wall of broken formation which thankfully did not collapse during our battle.

  Still, the battle had brought quite a destruction in this already destroyed place. My heart couldn't help bled seeing the number of precious resources that had been distroyed during the battle.

  The power of Grandmaster is terrifying, and I had no choice but to go all out. If I had dared to hold back even a little, then it would be me instead of Grimm Monsters that would be dead right now.

  Still, the field is huge, and there are still resources to harvest; my friends have already begun, and the moment I scanned the broken formation wall, I had also released my strings to harvest the resources.

  It took me fifty-two minutes outside time to create the formation, and I called my friends who appeared beside me within a few seconds.

  "I hope this formation took us to the fifth layer," Rhea said, "It would be better if it takes us directly outside," Jim added.

  Buzz!

  I took out the formation, and a couple of seconds later, it buzzed; as it did, we stepped into it and again felt the same spatial energy we had felt past two times.

  "We are out!" Jim shouted excitedly; a smile couldn't help but form on my lips either. It is truly a surprise, as I had not expected we would directly out; I thought the spatial energy would make us travel around the layers before we could get out.

  "Since we have gotten out, let's not waste any time," I said, moving toward the station, which is not far…… We should be able to reach it within a couple of hours.
