"As you can see, Mr. Wilkins, I am very interested in the artifact, so what do you want in exchange?" I asked while I placed the artifact in front of me.

  "I do not want much; I just hope you will be able to heal all the underlying injuries of mine and help me level up to Leader within a few months," He said softly and looked at me nervously for my answer.

  Usually is not hard for Grandmaster class powerhouse to advance an Elite into a Leader with the resources they have, but this old man is a different case.

  From his file, I had read a few minutes ago, and the data I am reading when I inserted my seed inside it clearly tells me it is beyond most Grandmaster.

  This man is nearly a hundred years old, way past his prime, and has numerous hidden injuries. The only reason he was able to reach this far was due to his bloodline, which is barely able to support him.

  "Sure, let's begin," I said, greatly shocking him. For most Grandmasters, it would be quite a hard thing, but for me, it is not; with the research I have done, healing all his injuries and advancing him into the Leader class would not be a problem for me.

  Strings came out of me, and soon they have formed a coffin while the old man watched in stunned expressions.

  "Please remove most of your artifacts and clothes and get inside," I said. It took a moment for the old man to register my words, but when he did, he swiftly took off his artifacts and closed without hesitation, and got inside.

  As he got in, I closed the lid and pierced my strings inside him while placing a few resources on the lid, which made his eyes go wide in shock.

  A minute later, resources melted, and their essence began to flow through the strings into his body. I could heal his injuries with my own healing energy, which is quite powerful, but it would take little time, and I have no interest in wasting that.

  Instead, I merged my healing energy into the essence and began to heal every tiny injury its body contained. I have to say there are too many of them.

  They are not battle injuries he had accumulated over the century but also injuries he had got injuries from various resources. To reach the Tyrant stage, this man had consumed a very powerful resource that harmed his body; he also consumed a similar type of resource to become an elite.

  It had heavily affected his bloodline; from what I am seeing, he is barely able to use a quarter of the power of his bloodline.

  This old man is very smart; the first condition he put up in exchange for the artifact was to heal the injuries. These tiny injuries are very hard to hard for a command Grandmaster healer; only someone at league of Grandmistress Charline to me could heal them.

  Twenty minutes passed by, and I have healed all his injuries; there is not a single injury that had remained on him; he is healthy as he could be in his state while his bloodline is completely different thing.

  "The next part is going to be a little painful," I said to him, and another formation appeared on the lid of the coffin while at the same time, I began to take out the resources that made the old man go blank for a couple of seconds.

  The second condition of the old man was to make him advance to leader class in a couple of months, but why should I wait when I could that in a single session.

  It is a little difficult with those with Inheritance, but for those with bloodline, it is quite easy. As long as one has specific resources and knowledge to use them, things could go extremly wrong in the process, but I have experience, so it would not happen.

  Buzz!

  A minute later, formation buzzed, and strings injected a drop of blue-magenta-colored drop into the body of the old man.

  "Ahhhhhhh……"

  A moment later, the old man screamed out loud that I simply muted them. What I had sent inside him was an extremly diluted mutation of Grimm Bloodline. Injecting it directly into the old man's body would give him inhuman pain.

  The old man could bear; those dangerous resources he consumed before had given him a similar level of pain before.

  As I injected the mutation into his body, his bloodline reacted instantly. His bloodline, which was like a sleeping half-crushed mountain, exploded with power like a volcano; his bloodline phantom also appeared before him.

  'A Magma Snake,' I said, looking at a huge snake phantom; it had volcanic red scales covering its body and tain from which magma could be said dripping.

  This bloodline had appeared many times in our world, his great-great Grandmaster also had inherited, and so is his great great great great Grandfather.

  Its bloodline roused up to fight the mutation, but as it did, it began to lose rapidly. While the mutation may be heavily diluted, it is still from a Master class Grimm Bloodline which is an Elite bloodline that is quite spent.

  RAOOOOOR!

  It is begin looked, every second the mutation to take a chunk of it; it continued for more than three minutes when the Magma snake let out a desperate roar and begin to suck energies around it desperately.

  Buzz!

  Seeing the desired reaction from the bloodline, a smile couldn't help but appear on my face, and I activated the formation. As I did, a huge amount of essence of resources began to enter the body of the old man through my strings.

  As these resources entered the old man's body, his bloodline immediately began to guzzle it without even looking. It needs the power to fight the mutation, and it is not caring where it is getting from.

  For nearly a minute, there was no change in the condition of the bloodline; it continued to get beaten by the Grimm mutation, but after that, its condition began to improve; while it is still getting its chuck eaten, the bloodline is now resisting heavily.

  Twelve minutes passed by when the bloodline finally got the edge over the mutation and tore away its big chunk for the first.

  With the first victory, the bloodline has become even more aggressive and went for mutation as it wants to tear it apart, which is its intention. In the next three minutes, it tore the mutation piece by piece till there was nothing that had remained.

  While doing that, it had consumed a huge amount of energy from around and eaten away nearly all the resources fed it, and now, the snake looked even more vivid than before, and its aura was much stronger.

  A few seconds passed by when suddenly, the snake shone up, and the aura of the old man began to change; he had begun to make a breakthrough into the leader class.

  I had thought I would need it to give another push, but it seemed like I did not need to, seeing he had begun breaking through into the Leader class already.
