Chapter 2099: Testing II
The strangest fucking thing had happened when the diamond seal had formed. As it released the energy, all of it began to get sucked by his constitution, leaving nothing, not even a trickle for his body.
I couldn’t help but get shocked by the strange fucking thing; no constitution behaves like this. I have read about many constitutions, some of them in much detail, but never read them doing something like it.
I quickly got over my shock and started to read the data; this strangeness is good, as only in a strangeness one could collect a trove of data, and the tens of reading I am getting are really salivating.
The swallowing mammoth constitution had sucked every last bit of energy, and when it finished that, it turned energies into the tub and started to suck them with even greater gusto. The diamond energy of the diamond seal had strengthened the bloodline, which increased its swallowing powers.
I continued to read the data of all three of my mentees simultaneously, sometimes wondering the great differences they have in between them.
They have more differences in them than they have similarities; that is why I choose them. The differences would provide me with a large pool of data that will help me build my Inheritance.
“Good, now let’s try something more difficult,” I said after two hours, and a curse appeared again on the body of the subject till it covered the whole body, but this time, it seeped deeper into the bones and internal organs.
This is a dangerous injury, one that would take a life if not treated quickly; the curse would spread inside the patient before it eats up the patient.
“Lord Dexter, I can’t heal the injuries that are not flesh part; I had never been able to remove the curse from the bones,” Neela said the same thing I had read in her file.
She is not a healer but a fleshmancer; the reason she was able to deal with a curse or any other injury is that it is on the flesh and flash her domain, and as long as it is within it, she will be able to extract and destroy whatever is on it, but if it spread further, it is out of her control.
“I know, but I still want you to try,” I said.
She nodded after a second, and her powers seeped into the skin of patients, and she began to extract the curse. A few minutes later, she finished that and moved her powers to affect the bone, but it did nothing; she tried and tried, but nothing had happened.
“Didn’t I tell you, my powers are useless against anything that is not the skin,” She said with a hint of helplessness and frustration.
I could tell by how Neela worked that she really wanted to become a healer, but her powers made her an incomplete one which could make one feel helpless and frustrated at the time. If I had been at her place, I would have felt the same.
“Enough about healing, for now, show me some of your other abilities; I am very curious about some of them,” I said, hearing that Neela’s face reddened for a moment before she started to show me her fleshmances abilities.
Not only did she use the subject to show them, but she also used herself to show off her abilities, and I have to say, I am kind of impressed by them and would be working hard to copy them.
“It is good for today; from the next session, we will start working on your abilities,” I said to Neela, “And take this, there is a solution in it and instruction on using it,” I added and gave her the storage.
“Thank you, Lord Dexter,” She said as she took the solution and walked into teleportation formation.
A few seconds later, I am alone in the arena; Danielle and Leonard had already left after their second tub of solution.
I did not leave immediately, instead started training, trying different moves using different tactics with the rapier. I am using it as a weapon, though I am proficient in it; I like to be better to take full advantage of the weapon, just as I did with my greatsword.
I had trained for one and half hours before going back to my quarters, showered, cooked lunch, and ate it before walking to the command center.
Though I could teleport there, I like to take a walk, I only need about two minutes, so it is not a waste of time.
I remained in the command center till late, going over the strategy of the coming battle and discussing the details of the war. The war is not limited to just fort ardon but everywhere, and at some places, it is quite intense.
Yesterday had been good for us humans; we have not only killed a Grimm Grandmaster but also able to two huge forts at the level of fort ardon with Grandmaster presence and take control over those strategic places.
Such good news is hard to come these days, but when they do, we celebrate. The General had thrown a small party, and I had to stay a little late.
When I came back to my quarters it was late, but there was a smile on my face, my package had arrived from the Pyramid, bringing lots of things.
I wanted to check them then and there, but I resisted the urge; instead, I stored the package in my core and slept. I will look at it tomorrow; I am sure it is going to be a busy day. It will be the last day before the battle, and I plan to increse my strength, so I would be better prepared to deal with the enemy.
I am sure Grimm Grandmaster is very angry at me for killing its Master class powerhouse that was a step away from reaching a Grandmaster class and would not dare to underestimate me this time. I will have to be careful, and an increse in strength would help a lot in keeping myself alive.
