chapter 3503 danger
i washed the dishes and put them back into my core before walking to the couch and lying down.
a moment later, i am at my core, beside my clone on a second continent.
my clone is looking at three meta-scans of the three people. it is not just the strings, i had released in the battle, but also the seals. i had sent them into the three, the moment i entered the battle.
it is the first time i have released them since joining tor.
i had not done that even during the mission, fearing someone might be looking. here, i do not have to fear; it is sky-grade ruin and while the prime could enter, sealing their power, they couldn't hide the presence well.
at least from me.
i am confident that, if prime is snooping here, i will feel them.
i pushed that thought away and looked at the trove of data in front of me. the meta-scans are filled with the data i need.
it is why, i loved to collect data on those fighting. there, they reveal all their secrets to me.
i have less than a hundred of these samples and i wish to collect them in thousands. it is a challenge, but one i am excited to complete.
the troves of data will help me a lot in the creation of inheritance and make my breakthroughs safer. which will be dangerous in the long future, but i will use every means to make it as safe as possible.
i studied the data for a couple of minutes before looking at the other two clones on the first continent, both of them are busy doing their jobs.
i would love to join them, but there are more pressing things i have to do.
i appeared at the door of the library and entered inside, before walking to the inheritance. where i directed my clones for an hour, before coming back to my desk.
i have a lot of work, i have to finish and even with time dilation, it will be a challenge.
i didn't waste any time and opened the books and started studying them to find a way to solve the problem in front of me.
every day, the lessons are getting harder. i have to really focus and give hours to solve the problem. three days ago, i had remained for over twenty-four hours and only slept for two and a half hours.
fourteen and a half hours passed when i finally got up from the desk and there was a smile on my face.
i had finished the work, and i did it in less time than i had thought.
since i had time; i went out and worked with my clone on alchemy, till it was time for me to sleep.
"let's got going," i said to myself as i looked at the faint rays of dawn.
i plan to reach my destination by tomorrow. it didn't matter to me if i didn't get there on time, as long as i get enough grimms on the way; i will be happy.
it is why, i had reduced my speed by nearly half for better stealth.
the grimms begin to travel out of their area. i saw the earth sovereign grimms yesterday, which means there will be sovereigns and sky sovereign grimm will be travelling out.
i don't want to be caught by the sky sovereign grimms. it was the worst outcome i could hope to have.
hun!
i had just thought that when the expressions on my face changed, i stopped in my tracks and many of the stealth formation activated.
i didn't hide in trees or lie on the ground. i remained where i was and i sealed everything and even activated formation for a short moment, which sucked even the tiniest bit of aura, that might have leaked from me.
one and a half seconds later, i felt the powerful soul sense touch me.
it is faint but powerful. it is from the grimm sky sovereign, flying a few miles away from me.
i am freaking scared right now. if it discovered me, it would be game over. i don't want to die so early, i haven't even seen my family and till i do, i will use every means, i have to survive. novε.lb(in
the soul sense stayed around my area for a fraction of a second before it moved away.
seeing that, i wanted to take a sigh of relief, but i didn't let myself do even that.
i stayed frozen in my spots for over two minutes, till all the soul waves confirmed that the grimms had left. only then did i unlock my movements and power and took a sigh with relief.
'fuck, i nearly died,' i thought as i placed my hand on the tree for the support.
for a moment, i thought i would get discovered and die. unfortunately, my stealth method worked, and i survived.
i calmed myself down for another minute before i resumed my journey.
it will be extremely dangerous going forward and part of my mind wants me to return, but i didn't. yes, it is extremely risky, but it will also be beneficial for me, and i am willing to accept any risks that come with it.
however, i had reduced my speed even further and activated a few more formations.
it will delay me by a lot, but i do not care. my safety is paramount and a delay of a few hours or even a day, wouldn't affect things much.
a few hours passed, and i didn't come across any grimms, not even sovereigns, which is quite disappointing.
i wanted to fight grimms, probably the ones with bloodline, but i will even take even those with bloodline.
they offer the essence roses and also storages.
i have opened the storages of two grimms and they have quite good things there and i want to collect at least a few hundred of them, while i am in this ruin.
