"Hahaha… How many have thought they could capture you; even the High Grandmaster has taken action against you but still failed to kill you, but I, Hrata, succeeded." The Frost Lizardman laughed as the frost hand clutching me brought me to it.

  With me being captured, it did not seem to have any fear for me; it could kill me with just a squeeze of its hand.

  Dense silver fire burst out of me, and it moved to melt the icy hand capturing me, but to my surprise, it was barely able to do anything against it. The frost seemed too strong to be melted by my fire.

  "Your struggle is futile, Zaar; the hand of Haa is the most powerful attack that I used my very essence to create. It is not something that could be melted by your fire," It said softly while shaking its head.

  Seeing it shaking its head, I couldn't help but be stuck with memories; I behaved nearly the same when I captured my enemies and knew there was no way they would be able to get away once they got caught in my strings.

  "It is quite a powerful attack and the sneakiest, Ive ever experienced!" I said through the small hole it had left for me to speak.

  At the same time, the silver fire around me transformed it into the silvery fire armor, which began to burn even brighter as I poured out the full power of my fire.

  "I had burned my essence for it, human, and I have only done that three times before, but it is worth it all those times."

  "With the resources I will get from your death, it won't take me more than a month to recover from this strain, and there is a chance that I might even level up to high Grandmaster with that wonderful treasure that is part of the reward," It said with a dreamy look in its eyes.

  "Since I am going to die anyway, will you tell me what you have found in this ruin to come here in such numbers?" I asked, and the smile on its face froze for a moment.

  "Hahahahaha…" Its expressions recovered, and it began to laugh madly till the frozen tears began to stream out of its eyes.

  "Are you planning to use this chance to get some intel out of me before you use your big move to escape my hand of Haa?" It asked; as it finally stopped laughing after a few minutes.

  "Yes, I have been very curious about what you guys have found to be sent here in such numbers." I did not deny my intentions.

  "You can forget about escaping humans; I have captured powerhouses far more powerful than you, so the only escape you will have is death," It said, and its eyes became hard.

  "Since I am dying anyway, will you tell me what you guys have found?" I asked. As I had said, I have been very curious about it, and knowing what they have found will be half mission complete.

  "You are quite persistent, Micheal Zaar." It said, and this time, I did not reply. I had already forced enough.

  "Dead men tell, no tells. Since it is your last wish, I will grant it considering the bountiful reward I will get from your head," It said after the seconds of silence.

  "Most of the secrete of the mission has been kept secret; the only thing I know is that I have found the repository of something in the bronze graveyard," It said, and its eyes became vicious with a hint of anticipation.

  "Now that I have answered your question, its time for you to die!" It said and forced to the frost hand clutching me tighter, wanting to squeeze me to death.

  Hun!

  The frost hand tightened around me for a moment before it stopped, and it had instantly alarmed the Frost Lizaradman, and I have to say its instincts are quite good as instead of trying to force the frost hand to squeeze me, it instead tried to run.

  Unfortunately, it could not.

  "How?" It asked in horror when it failed to move its arms and legs; the only it could move was its mouth. I reciprocated the courtesy it had given to me.

  "Your hidden attack was very good, but unfortunately for you, I had sensed it and infiltrated it," I answered, and to show it, I revealed my hand.

  Gasp!

  It gasped as it saw thousands of strings in hand the frost hand; while its attack was quite sneaky that most of the peak Grandmasters would not able to sense it before it was too late; my soul sense, laced with rule-bending power did and what I did after that was quite easy.

  "Thank you for the intel, by the way; it would help me a lot," I said, and it disappeared.

  I would have tried to gain more intelligence but seeing how decisive it is, I feared it might activate its primal switch and kill itself. That would be a great loss of peak Grandmatser clas bloodline essence; I could not afford it after what I was able to find out from it.

  As for what it had told me is the truth? It is the truth. A special string of mine was able to infiltrate its brain, and from the data I had read, everything it had told me was true.

  Crack Crack Crack ….Bang!

  The ice began to crack as thousands of my strings vibrated at once, and a couple of seconds later, the whole hand burst apart.

  This attack is quite powerful, and if not for the prior preparations, I would have struggled hard to get out of it and even had tried a few untested things which I rather not in such condition.

  Buzz!

  About ten seconds passed when finally the harvest began, and I couldn't help but be shocked to see the level of bloodline energy; I had expected it to be powerful, but it had surpassed my expectations.
