Buzz!
A faint trickle of power entered my body and in less than twenty seconds; it had disappeared.
Now, the strengthening energy of the Primary-III, couldn’t even last for twenty seconds. It couldn’t be compared to Sovereigns, but Sovereigns aren’t flying everywhere around me.
It is late afternoon, and I have only found two Grimms Sovereigns with the bloodline.
The number is not good considering the distance I had traveled and the number of Grimm Sovereigns I have come across.
I have also come across two native sovereigns. As I thought about them, my blood started to boil, but I controlled my anger and continued moving.
Till now, I have fought against five sovereigns and three talked inside the core, and I could say the information the Crockman had provided was mostly true, with some omissions.
Though, I have to corroborate it with a few more sources to be sure about it.
I am moving toward the first exit, which is also on the way to the Mist Valley. Though I am not going to the Mist Valley. that place is extremely dangerous, from what I had heard about the Grimms Sovereign.
Another hour passed when finally, Nero sensed another native Sovereign. They are far rarer than the Grimms.
We have entered this place in much fewer numbers than the Grimms, not to mention.
When he showed me his face, especially the clothes he was wearing, I relaxed a little. The last two native Sovereigns I had found were from the organization and if those bastards hadn’t been natives, I would kill them.
They had only asked for all information I have, but also asked me to give me my resources and top of that refused to tell me what they know.
It is a good thing; they have only threatened with words. If they had lifted even a hand, I would have broken every single piece of bone on their bodies.
I moved toward the Sovereign, and he is part of the batch of Sovereigns that came after us. I had a recording and could see him through it.
Little over ten minutes passed and when I reached near him and slowed down, before revealing some of my aura to let him sense my presence.
“Your stealth method is quite good. I didn’t sense you till you reached so close to me,” said the Black Wolf Beastman.
“Thank you,” I said and silence spread.
“So, what do you want?” he asked directly.
His tone is friendly, but I could tell he is cautious, and his faint soul sense spread around me, trying to detect my aura to discern my level.
Which is completely sealed.
“Information,” I said, and a smile appeared on his face. “I have some, I hope, you also have something,” he said.
I smiled as a white crystal appeared in my hand and threw it at him. He caught it and a surprise appeared on his face.
“You have quite a lot. I am afraid compared to it, I have very little,” he said with obvious embarrassment. “It is fine, give me whatever you have,” I replied. He nodded and a second later, threw a blue stone at me.
I sent it to my core, and a clone viewed it. It is less than what I had provided him, but it finished. Some of the incomplete information I have.
“If there is nothing else, I am leaving,” he said. I nodded and watched him leave; he is moving in a different direction than mine.
It is not like everyone would be searching for an exit. No, many I had come across, including Primary-III, did not have the exit as their focus; their primary target is collecting as much as resources as possible.
Which is not surprising.
Ruins such as this, where resources at every step are rare. Especially for those who do not belong to any organizations.
Most of the ruins are in their hands and they only let the public into 30% of ruins. The rest of the runes were for their personal use, despite the law stating every organization needed to keep half of their ruins public.
I didn’t stay on my spot for long; after following him with my soul sense for a couple of seconds, I resumed my journey.
A few minutes passed as I moved through the thick trees, collecting the resources from the surrounding plants. It is planted I am collecting, but also crystal metals and other things.

Though 95% of this job is done by Nero. He is simply good at it; a hundred times better than me. Compared to him, I only picked up a shiny rock that I see lying around.
I have collected a large amount of metals, crystals, and other things since I entered this ruin.
The storage has provided a lot, but I think we will also collect a lot on our own. Especially now that we had made a breakthrough.
Nero had become even good. Since morning, he had collected a lot of things.
‘Father, Grimm,’ I was busy with my thoughts when Nero informed me of the Grimm. An inheritance Grimms, but a powerful one. More than Crockman, I had fought in the morning.
‘Finish it,’ I said, and Nero moved toward it.
On the way, his size begins to increase, and his aura begins to change, while his antlers begin to shrink.
In that minute, he becomes a large wolf, who is like any wolf monster of this ruin. He is so good that even Earth Sovereign won’t find any fault in him, even if they scanned him thoroughly.
With the breakthrough, Nero’s abilities had also advanced. Now, he could do even more amazing things than before.
Soon, he reached the place where Grimm was and roared. The Grimms threw out the stealth field artifact and moved to defend against Nero.
The Chimpman is quite powerful; its blade of it is fast as lightning and silent as the wind.
Now, I feel regret for not fighting against it. It is a great enemy, I would have learned a lot from it, but there is no use in regretting it.
Nero is fighting it, and I will not interfere.
The battle had lasted for four minutes and eight seconds before the Grimm died and it died very painfully. Some of his abilities could make death a very painful experience.
Even I shuddered thinking about them.
Soon, Nero collected the body and everything with it. In a few minutes, he will turn it into pure crystals. He could do that now and the purity he gets, even the best formation I have gotten from the books, does.
I am happy he killed another Grimm who would have killed many more natives and was quite excited about its storage.
The storages of established Sovereigns like it have amazing things. I even found a miracle fruit, which is extremely rare, and I have found a single one on the tree since I had come to this world.
A few seconds later, Nero changed back into his original shape, and we resumed our journey toward our destination.
