3033 One Year and Eleven Months
Click!
The door of the monastery closed behind me; it might be the last time I would see it. If I see it next time, then it will be only after I have defeated the big Grimm.
One year and eleven months have passed since I have come to this ruin, and I have forty-four to fifty-two days, with fluctuating time, and I have to make a breakthrough by that time.
I don’t think I will have a problem; these past ten months have been insanely productive; I have made tremendous progress, and I am now barely a step away from finishing my inheritance.
Which I will do in a week, ten days at most.
Till then, I have a couple of things to do; first is to harvest the resources I have invested huge resources in before going for the place where I will make a breakthrough.
I first thought about making a breakthrough into the monastery, but it is not a perfect place.
It is sealed from outside energy, and I planned to use it other than worldly energy.
The energy of this ruin will be extremely useful in my breakthrough. It is a higher grade than any energy back in the world, not to mention it is infused with spatial and temporal energy.
For others to use it in their breakthrough would be like poison, but to me, it is nectar.
The commonplace will not do, I would need a safe place that could protect me against the monster and, at the same, give me unaided access to energy, and thankfully, I have found such a place.
It was by total mistake, but it is very good; if it were not for that, I would have used the monastery.
Taking one last look at the monastery, which has given me so much that I would be forever grateful to its creators.
Keeping my emotions under control, I begin to move; my destination is quite far, that it would have taken me more than a month to reach there when I first arrived; now, two to three days would be more than enough.
I moved with my stealth method active while Ashlyn and Nero scouted for me, so I would avoid any monster coming toward me.
I have fought against so many monsters in the time I have here that I do not want anyone, nor do I need to.
I have got everything I have wanted, and now, I just want to collect the things before moving toward my breakthrough spot.
Before I knew it, six hours had passed, and I had not fought even a single monster while covering a large swath area, crossing the territories of hundreds of monsters.
Some of them were dangerous enough to kill me in a single swipe; thankfully, it didn’t happen.
I have constantly been working on every aspect of my power, especially the stealth method, which has improved tremendously.
There is nothing greater than fear of death that bred ingenuity.
I have worked really hard in every part of my inheritance, and what I have created has really made me proud. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without a library; it is the sole reason, I have reached so close to creating the inheritance.
If it not for it, I don’t think I would have been able to create the inheritance, even if I had five years in this ruin.
It would have needed me at least ten years to create, and it wouldn’t have been as good as what I am about to create.
Another six hours passed, and I have fought against the monster; there was no choice. As it came running toward me very fast, chasing a different prey, but when it sensed me up close, it forgot that prey and came at me.
It was a battle I had finished within a minute without attracting any monsters.
p-A- n-d-A-n-0-v-e-1、(c)om
I still remember a battle a few months ago; while the monster I fought was normal, once it had attracted is very dangerous at that moment, and I killed it. I took out my stealthy formation and hid inside it with Ashlyn and Nero.
It was powerful enough that even Ashlyn and Nero would have dealt with it, and it had been extremely close, but formation had saved us.
In the past few months, I have perfected that formation even further, and I will be counting on it to save me before it is absolute mayhem; when my work gets discovered.
I will try my hardest for monsters to discover what I did and sneakily slip away after what I had got, but if they discover it, then I want to be ready for the mayhem that will appear.
As this time, there will not be a single monster like when Ashlyn and Nero stole these peaches, but a huge group of them.
Yes, Ashlyn and Nero stole more than half of the peaches two weeks after I entered mayhem. They did it after I slept, so I would not discover what they had done.
When I woke up the next morning, they had a lot of peaches and every angry monster, which was very angry, had killed a lot of monsters, till another monster of equal power came and fought it.
Now, that salamander guards its peaches even more zealously; it even looks at new plants that appeared on the corrupted lake with the same eyes.
All the stainless lotus seeds I had thrown in the lake had budded and grown, and with such a concentrated curse, they had even reached Emperor grade and growing even faster.
In two to three years, they would break the limit and reach Primary-II class.
Even if I died, some human will might find them, and it will help them tremendously against the Grimms.
They are not the only plants I have plants; I have planted hundreds of them in a suitable environment. If I had time, I would have planted more, but unfortunately, I did not.
Soon, two and half days passed, and I reached my destination.
I have reached it, but I am still moving toward it; I would like to be as close as possible but not too close, which is why I had stopped when I reached the five-mile of radius.
I had reached the hidden spot that Nero and Ashlyn found long ago; it is a very hidden place; they don’t come, it barren and those monsters like barren.
For extra stealth, I activated the formation before sitting center of it with Ashlyn on my shoulder.
Nero will be out, while Ashlyn will be with me.
With preparations done, I closed my eyes, and a string came out of me and moved out of the formation toward the destination.
It didn’t take long for it to reach the destination, a giant freaking honeycomb with thousands of bees, which are big as my leg.
There are worker bees, the protected bees are even bigger than others, and I saw them kill the monsters with deadly accuracy.
As I am going to do here, it is obvious; I am going to steal honey, which I had spent an insane number of resources to make.
