"It is a fortune," I said, and I looked at the fruits.
Though, it's a fortune that I couldn't sell. If I could, I would have. People will pay a massive price for them, but doing that will make suspicion and greed rise in their hearts.
Most importantly, they might suspect who I am. So, I couldn't, but it's not set in stone.
If I get the right opportunity, I will sell it.
Taking one last look at those beautiful, powerful fruits, I focused on my body. The strengthening energy is still pouring into me, and my body is swallowing it hungrily.
Even after a few minutes, its hunger didn't dissipate. It is the same.
I looked at the meta-scan and saw my strength rising rapidly. It is helping me whittle away the Grimm's energy into me faster.
It's still in my body. I could have used the strengthening energy to deal with it, but I didn't.
I didn't want to waste a single drop of it on things other than increasing my strength. Especially on the things that I could deal with on my own.
Finally, the last drop of strengthening energy was absorbed by me. I looked at the meta-scan, having a hard time believing the increase it had given.
I have come to the realm with strengthening energy in my mind, but I didn't expect I would be able to increase my strength this much.
It will save me a year of practice, but this isn't the end. There are still many Grimms.
I calmed my emotions. I cannot be greedy; I am sure there are more powerful Grimms than this. If I become greedy, I will die before I know how.
A minute later, I got up and walked toward the meta-scan of Kanxin.
I sat down and worked with my clones using the healing method I was going to use. The increase in my strength had made things much easier.
I am not more focused on wiping the marks of the method than the healing itself.
Over an hour passed when I opened my eyes and looked at Prime Kanxin.
She is unconscious. The thing that made her unconscious was very strong. It clouded many of the methods running into her that would record what was happening inside.
The rest that remained had been deactivated by my seed.
I must take precautions; she cannot know how I healed her.
I took a deep breath and raised my hands forward. Immediately, the strings came out of my hands.
Seeing that, a smile couldn't help but appear on my face, and my heart started to beat wildly. I love healing; it is also the thing that made me feel closer to my love.
Unfortunately, due to the greedy people of this world, I cannot practice the art I love so much; I must keep it hidden for the sake of my survival.
Now, I am practicing it, and it is giving me peace that I haven't felt in a long time.
Excited as I was, I controlled it. The increase in strength provided me with tools to deal with the problem, but it is still a very complicated problem. For more chapters visit novel⦿fire.net
A single mistake and it will be over. I can't let that happen. I need her alive; she is the only person who could take me to the formation.
With the last deep breath, I pierced my strings into her, and they moved toward the points of ancestral power.
These points are made purely of the ancestral power and designed in such a way that the slightest disturbance could make them explode.
So, I will have to do it without triggering it because even if a single point is triggered, it will be over for her.
Soon, my strings had reached the points of ancestral power and formation on them activated.
A moment after they did, the strings moved again. They begin to shape in runes, and these runes begin to form the shape around the point without it triggering.
It looked simple enough but far from it.
I am sweating but not stopping. Every moment, more and more runes formed, and a few minutes later, the shapes formed around the ancestral power points.
The shapes are tiny cubes made of runes. They are tiny, but each has over six hundred runes, all of which are ancient runes.
I looked at them and exhaled before activating the cubes.
I activated them, and immediately, they pushed their power on the ancestral power, and it struggled, but it was not as forceful as it would have been.
It is slow, and its power immediately gets absorbed by the cubes. In a few seconds, all the points neutralized.
I smiled, but a few seconds later, my expression became serious. I am doing something I don't want, but it is necessary.
At my command, the power leaked out of the few cubes. Spreading into her, degrading her condition. Within seconds, she reached close to death.
As it happened, I took out vials and fed them to her. A second later, I activated the cubes again, and they began to absorb the ancestral, but they did not absorb all.
They left some, and the energies of the vials began to fight them. It will take a few hours to deal with all the ancestral power.
While it was happening, I dealt with ancestral power and then moved my strings to deal with other problems of her body.
The Grimms had pushed many things inside her when she was on skyward. Even without the ancestral power, dealing with them will take her a while.
With the strings, it took me nearly an hour before I finished them off.
I removed my strings and looked at the clash happening inside her. It is going as I expected. The ancestral power, even in a fraction of the amount, is resisting hard, but they are against the flood.
In a few hours, that flood is going to wipe them out.
I put a few seeds in her to wake me up if something happens. It likely won't, but I like to be cautious.
It was done and I walked out to the room. I am tired and want to sleep. I need to get myself ready for the powerful challenges this realm will throw at me.
