"You useless three, by the time I finish with this bastard, I want you to finish Zaar up, or don't think about showing your face to me," Ordered Frost Chimpman before turning to old man Safar with an even bigger attack than before.

  Even before hearing that, I knew I would be in grave danger and had already put the two Grimms with Bloodline inside me while four of them were around me, guarding me.

  If there is a need, I will burn their essence and make them fight against the Peak Grandmasters.

  To be honest, I would have liked to finish them off as soon as possible, harvest them into the essence roses, and be done with them, but I do not have enough strings to finish harvesting these bastards, and I also don't want to antagonize the Grimms by harvesting their kin in front of them.

  I will harvest them; this is a reason why I have taken so much pain to make specified changes in my seeds but not now.

  I will wait till I fully harvest and consume the bloodline of the two Grimms inside me. Once that is done, I will have the defensive abilities powerful enough to deal with attacks of the peak Grandmaster.

  I have conveyed that to Grandmaster Atkins, she only needed to keep all three contained for the two minutes; after that, I will survive, even if a Peak Grandmaster had attacked me.

  "Fuck! This battle has reached beyond we could handle, and that bastard Royal had sealed the space, so we could not even escape." Cursed Grandmaster Shi as he attempted to spread the space with the spatial artifacts.

  All four Grandmasters have come beside me, and they looked very uncomfortable standing beside the huge Grimm Monsters.

  Even though I am the target of the battles, I am also one of the safest places they could hide with Grimms as shields and my own shields surrounding us.

  BOOOOM BOOOOM BOOOOM

  The battles raged around us; the biggest is of the Frost Chimpman and Lord Saraf, of course, but the most intense is the Grandmaster Atkins where she is stopping three Grandmasters coming toward me.

  Thousands of spears, vines and water monsters came out of the ocean, stopping the three of them in their tracks, not letting them take even a single step toward me.

  Even though she is holding back the Grandmasters fine, she won't be able to hold them back forever. These bastards are extremely strong; one of them would be able to break her blockade sooner or later.

  I just hope she will be able to hold her back for two minutes; by that time, the harvest would be finished, and strengthening energies would be strengthening me.

  A few more seconds passed by, and the harvest of the two had finally begun; the purified bloodline energy was moving at the various sources, including my core.

  The purified bloodline energy is a huge amount, nearly double what I had consumed earlier, and its quality is also good. With it, I would be able to move even closer to the Peak Grandmaster class.

  BAANNNNG!

  Lord Saraf again destroyed the attack of the Frost Chimpman and attacked it back. The bastard is really shameful; even now, it is targeting me. Lord Saraf not only has to deal with the attacks that come at him but also the ones that are coming at me.

  "Lord Saraf had to miss one attack, and all of us would be finished," said Grandmaster Jenkins, and everybody sighed.

  Just a single attack of it would be enough to kill us all, for it, it is willing to sacrifice the Grimm Monsters, which I have put in front of me as the meat shields.

  Seconds passed like an hour as we watched the battles with trepidation. Our fates hang in the result of how these battles go.

  I really wish the Pyramid had sent at least one Peak Grandmaster with Lord Saraf; it would have made things a lot less stressful, but our forces are stretched thin, and sending someone like Lord Saraf is already a big thing.

  Finally, all the purified bloodline essence had been absorbed, and the next moment, the flood of strengthening energy was released from my core and spread out by my veins, and within a moment, an unbelievable amount of strengthening energy filled my body.

  The strengthening energy is from the two powerful Grandmasters, one initial and the other Middle. Both of them had the powerful bloodlines and the strengthening energy they were providing me thick, filled with power.

  BANNNG!

  My joy of getting strengthening energy was short-lived, as the Apeman's hammer had finally broken through the waterwall of the Grandmaster Atkins and came at me.

  "Shit!"

  I couldn't help but curse loudly; why couldn't it be a Snakeman. The Apeman is very powerful, and I don't know whether my shields would be able to hold on against its huge hammer; would it have killed the bastard if it attacked a few minutes later when I have fully absorbed the strengthening energies.

  I could feel the panic around me, but I did not focus on it; instead, I poured every bit of energy I had into my shields.

  "Die, Humans!"

  The Apeman did not waste any time talking; as it broke through the waterwall of the Grandmaster Atkins. It came at us directly with its hammer blazing.

  Its hammer reached my shields in an instant before striking it with great power.

  BAANNNG!

  A defeaning sound rang out as its huge hammer crashed against my shield. My shield looked like it would crack, but the next second, it shined up like a blazing sun, and that shine spread into the red of the shield till it looked like I was inside a huge shining bulb.

  'Gulp!'

  I gulp down the blood that came into my mouth as I looked at the shock-filled eyes of the Apeman, who thought it would be able to break my shields within a second but guess what, it was not easy as it looked.

  Each second, it would get harder and harder for it as more and more strengthening energy merged with me.
