3156 Better Deal
“I will kill you!” the Bullman screamed in fury while bubbling blood came out of its mouth.
“Unfortunately, you have lost the chance,” I said to the Grimm as I touched it on the back.
Its eyes shot in alarm, and it tried to resist, but it had found itself nearly frozen.
It could move, but slowly and seeing that, horror couldn’t help, but appear in its eyes.
It was resisting that when it felt a strange powerful pulling force, that it could not resist.
The Grimm disappeared and appeared in my core, while I just wanted to collapse on the ground.
Buzz!
I am thoroughly tired, but I could not resist. Instead, I activated another healing formation to heal my injuries and wipe away as many of my signs as possible before leaving the battlefield.
My injuries are healing fast. In a few minutes, they will heal completely with the aid of the healing formations.
Though it would be better if I rest a little before going against another powerful Grimm. The Bullman I had fought was powerful, with a vast difference, but I defeated it.
Still, it was hard, and a lot of luck was involved and an experimental thing.
I had just taken a few steps when a smile appeared on my face. The runes have come out as usual and they have spread around the Bullman.
Soon, the harvest will begin, and I cannot wait for it.
My clone had already made a list of plants, I want to provide the growth energy. Some plants are more important than others, some are extremely rare, and some I need immediately, that I could not buy it from the store.
The list is made of all these factors.
The first three are the staple, blood-soul essence lotus, metal essence tree, and necrotic tree.
These three resources are extremely important to me. Especially necrotic trees and blood-soul stainless lotus they will help me a lot in surviving the Grimms. I will fight.
The healing solution made from them will help in healing my injuries at a much faster rate than the things I am using in my formation.
Buzz!
It took twenty-seven seconds for the runes to spread before the harvest begin. It started with the mournful screams of the Grimms.
A second later, the bloodline essence came, and I couldn’t help but became surprised. Like the breakthrough energy, there was no crystal or denseness in it; it is thin as water.
Though, it may be thin. It feels powerful and I wish I could have it all, but I could not.
Even my share of it is getting split with the sapling of the world tree and me. Which had started growing a second after it took the bloodline essence, and its growth was the fastest, faster I had ever seen.
Seeing it, I couldn’t help but wonder about the sapling we had planted at home.
It is growing on the faith, and I had checked on it, a day before I left. It was growing great, absorbing the massive amount of faith that all the people in the world are sending toward it.
I watched for a few seconds before focusing on the things in front of me.
I increased my speed and began moving fast. I have to get away from it as possible in case the Grimm decided to check back on the battle.
My little covering up of the signs wouldn’t be able to fool the Sovereign if it looked at it for more than a second. So, it is better for me to be away from the fight scene as possible, in case it searched for me.
I walked away fast as I could while trying to leave behind as fewer signs as I can.
I think I am doing quite a good job, even a Sovereign would have a hard time tracking me.
Buzz!
A few minutes passed, and I was moving when the Bullman turned to dust a moment later. I heard the buzz from my core as it released the energies.
I stopped immediately and closed my eyes, focusing on water-like energy seeping into my body and soul, strengthening them rapidly.
‘Ahhhh,’
I couldn’t help but moan, getting this feeling after decades. I had nearly forgotten how strengthening energy from the bloodline feels before getting reminded again.
I enjoyed the feeling for a few seconds, before focusing on the growth energy. Sending it to the plants I selected.
Hun!
As I watched the plant grow, I couldn’t help but get surprised. It is not their growing speed that surprised me, but how the clay reacted with this fast growth and it blew my mind.
‘Add the better soil,’ I said to my clone.
I had only used the base soul, which is the lowest quality. There is still a large amount of soil that I had yet to use.
As I said it, a huge control board appeared in front of my clone, and it tapped a few buttons on it. Immediately, the soul begins to appear around the plants before gently mixing in.
Seeing the strain, I feel when there is too much growth energy. I have automated nearly everything in my core.
So, when I come across a huge amount of powerful growth energy, even two clones would be more than enough to manage it all.
“Enough,” I said when the soul reached the balance amount. Currently, it is enough, I will add more when I level up.
The soul begins its work immediately, making the smile on my face even brighter.
I am really lucky to have Nero who helped me gain this amazing resource.
Many people would think using extremely precious resources as the soil is wasteful, but I do not think that. As not only it is saving me a lot of growth energy, but it will also slowly enhance the quality of my core.
A few minutes passed and all the strengthening energy got absorbed by me and sometime after, the growth energy also disappeared.
I looked at my core and saw how the plants have changed, but it was not enough. I will need more growth energy if I want to take all the plants to Primary III.
I looked at it for a minute before looking at myself. I have also healed fully. What little injuries had remained were healed by the strengthening energy.
I am also feeling a lot better and after covering enough distance with the fighting scene, I will find another Grimm to fight.

I should rest after this battle, but there is no time. The Grimms are wreaking havoc and need to kill them. To save the people, but also to increase my strength.
It would be wonderful if I could reach the limit through them. Though it would be hard, given the number of Grimms, I would need to kill.
They might kill me before I reached my limit, but I will try.
Without it, it would take me months or even years to reach the limit.
Grimms not only offer the fastest way to that, but they also offer the resources to make the breakthrough after. There is no better deal than it.
