Chapter 1978 - Captured I
"What are you?" I asked softly to the tiny blue stones in my hand, which have black and white lines. These stones are laceratingly hot one moment and freezingly cold, and this feeling is not limited to my fingers but spread to my whole body.
It is quite surprising seeing I have my armor activated and my defenses are running at 70%. On the surface, these stones are not any special, seeing there are many resources that give the feeling of hot and cold, but the way they pass through my defense is bizarre.
I had to activate the defenses of the rule-bending power before I was able to stop the infiltration of hot and cold energies into my body.
While I am not sure what is the name of these stones or what type of resources they are but I am pretty sure these stones are resources at the same level as divine crystal or even more special than that, not anything could breach through my armor, especially when energies were so weak.
Regretfully, these stones are not something I need; if I had the slightest need of them, my runes would have reacted the moment I had took them out of the compartment like so many resources.
"What are these stones?" Elina asked suddenly as she appeared beside me, "I have no idea," I replied and handed the stones to her.
Suck!
She sucked a sharp breath the moment these blue stones fell into her hand; the black and white lines on the stone also lit up as wide-eyed Elina looked at them.
Elina kept them in her hand for few minutes with her closed eye without saying anything before she opened her eyes and put the stones in the box before looking at me. "These stones seemed very important to my bloodline. Can I have them?" Elina asked.
"Sure, take them. I have no need for them," I said back, "Thank you," she said before she went back to her side in collecting the resources in the compartment.
We are at Lab 22nd, the third big Lab in the Edna Charm laboratory, and our luck could be said to be exceptionally good as we have found a colossal amount of resources, including five at the level of the divine crystals, without getting the slightest trouble.
The only regret is that we did not find the resources I need; all the five resources we have got are not something I could use during my core formation.
Now, I am not as disappointed as I was before; with these five resources, there is a considerable chance the teacher will be able to trade divine crystals with these resources. These resources we have found are in the same category, and three of them are quite important; every Master and old monster would want them.
Still, I would try to get my hands on the resource I need, so they would remain in the academy, and our powerhouses would use them, not others.
Twenty more minutes passed by, and we took out all the resources from the compartments and started on the equipment. With the practice of many labs, we are pretty fast taking out the artifacts and equipment that, it did take us more than two and half hour to do that.
"Lab 22, finished," Elina said with a smile; seeing her infectious smile, a smile appeared on my face too. We are ahead of our schedule and have gotten far more resources than we had initially expected we have in such a time frame.
Click!
We rested for half an hour before we got up; our cautious mood returned after I got out of the small Lab, and we walked toward the exit of lab 22. There is a total of nine small labs in the Lad 22, of which two were already scoured while the five scoured by us from inventory to equipment, everything had been taken by us.
Click!
With Ashlyn's help, we were able to reach the exit of Lab 22 in a few minutes, and I cautiously opened the door and stepped out when I had got all clear from Ashlyn.
There are few humans and Grimm Monsters in the hallway, more than I had seen in half a day ago. The number of people are increasing.
Both humans and Grimm Monsters looked at us, not only Elites but also Leaders. They did not say anything, but I could see the gears in their mind turning; it was not only Grimm Monsters that were having bad thoughts toward us but also some humans.
I looked at it without flinching before casting a glance at what to second floor, which is filled with spatial tears.
Even Master class Tyrant would not dare step into those tears, much less the Elites and leaders. After casting a glance at the door, we walked toward the exit of the Laboratory; we had gotten what we had wanted from the Laboratory, its time to go to the other places.
"September Palace, right?" Elina asked, and I nodded.
The September Palace or September Laboratory as it is called. It is a huge laboratory, far larger than Edna Charm but also just as dangerous. We had planned to go to that place only in two conditions, when we did not find anything or when we found enough, and take one last risk before we departed from this place.
This place may contain a large number of resources but going after them isn't worth it. If one becomes greedy, one will lose its life before knows about it.
With Ashlyn's guidance, we began to move toward the September palace sneakily, and such one and a half hour had passed; we are now just a few minutes away from reaching the September palace, our last destination in this ruin before we go home.
Chew Chew!
We were just moving when suddenly Ashlyn chirped loudly in mind with warning and came inside me. I had just processed the warning and opened my mouth to warn elina of danger when I felt powerful presence downing on me.
"With you two, I have got enough humans to activate the formation," Said the Grimm Monster who appeared behind me, and before I could say anything, I found myself in its huge hands, and everything had turned blur.
