I heaved a sigh of relief. I was really scared there for a while.
If it had used that power, it might have been able to end me. Seeing there was energy armor on my body. A fraction of its power would have been more than enough to deal with it.
I wanted to do a collapse. I am so tired that I would fall asleep if I kept my eyes closed for longer than a moment.
It might not seem like it, but the battle had exhausted me deeply.
The battle was one of the most difficult I had ever fought in this world, but it wouldn't have exhausted me as such. If I hadn't been suffering the after-effects of the Salatin formation, The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the novel•fire.net
They are quite bad. I need to rest soon, or my body take things into my own hands.
I wanted to sleep immediately, but I couldn't. Both Grimms had run away on different sides.
Kanxin went to chase the Crockman. So, I shot toward the Boarman.
Despite its edge, it didn't take me long to reach it. Nearly a minute later, I appeared in front of the Boarman.
"Human, spare me, and I will give you everything you have," it said as it turned to me. "Thank you," I replied, and for a moment, hope lit up in its eyes, but a moment later, it had turned to despair.
It opened its mouth to curse but couldn't speak fully before I pulled it into my core.
Soon, I moved and stopped a couple of seconds later. Watching the intense battle between Kanxin and Crockman; it is fighting for survival against her.
I kept myself invisible, ready to act at any moment.
I watched for a few seconds before I entered my core. There, I saw two Grimms; one was covered in the roots as usual, while the other was runes.
The bloodline is above what the tree could handle.
Now, both are getting harvested, experiencing the greatest pain in their life.
It is not smooth. Especially in the case of Foxman, its bloodline is resisting madly, but the bloodline is still getting harvested, and every second, the speed of harvest is getting greater and greater.
Time passed, and the roots unraveled from the body of the Crockman.
It is nothing but a husk, which I threw on the disk to harvest its crystals.
I heard the familiar sound, and a moment later, the growth energy rushed in. Yes, there is only growth energy, no strengthening energy.
My body is in no condition to accept it. It will only do it after the effects of Salatin's formation are dealt with.
I felt a little bad, but it's not like I am not getting anything. I am getting a huge amount of growth energy, which I am sending to different plants.
The more plants I grow, the higher the number of bees I will be able to support.
Though, I do not plan to increase the number by much. The current bees are more than capable of handling the numbers of plants I have.
More plants will give them a chance to creator better quality of the money.
It is the thing I care about the most. For it, I am even willing to reduce the number of bees by the fifth. Though, I do not need to do that.
The number of bees I have is enough to craft the best quality of honey; reducing the number won't affect things. If it had, I wouldn't have let their numbers increase to begin with.
I turned to the Foxman; the resistance of the bloodline had vanished.
Now, the runes are simply consuming it.
Finally, they finished, leaving only the statue of the husk. Unlike the Crockman's, this one will collapse into the ashes with a mere touch.
I felt the power dividing. Half of it went to the tree, which began to grow rapidly.
Growing faster with its growth energy than growth energy coming from the world tree. I am not surprised; it is a bloodline, after all.
Though, a moment later, I was surprised, when I saw changes appearing on the flower of the world tree. It is turning into fruit.
There is only a single fruit. If it does the same thing as honey made from the nectar of the first fruit, Prime will kill for it.
I am not talking about the regular Primes, but the Silver Primes. It is powerful enough to benefit them. Books say that much.
I was looking at things when I heard the buzz and prepared for another stream of growth energy.
It didn't. It didn't come alone; it came with strengthening energy, shocking me.
As it had been with Crockman, I thought I would only get growth energy, but it seemed like I had underestimated the bloodline and runes that synthesized it from the Grimm.
If growth energy from it is strong enough to rapidly grow the fruit of the world tree.
Then strengthening energy from it is strong enough to ignore the effects of the salatir's formation. It entered inside me, and my body began to absorb it hungrily.
This strengthening energy is different from what the world tree has sent.
It is much thicker and more powerful on a fundamental level. There is a massive difference in quality between the two; it is why, despite absorbing hungrily.
My body couldn't absorb it at speed. It is way more powerful than the strengthening energy from the world tree.
Seeing it, a smile couldn't help but appear on my face. Especially when I see how fast my strength is rising; it is very fast.
A minute passed, and then another, and then another. My body is still absorbing the energy.
However, two minutes and twenty seconds later, it stopped. The strengthening energy is still there, about 7% of it, but it is my body that has reached the limit.
When I broke through, I thought it would take years, but it took much less.
Now, there is only a forbidden limit and inheritance. Once I am done with them, I will be able to make a breakthrough into the High-Prime.
That will make things a lot safer.
