Chapter 2202: Greed
Chapter 2202: Greed
"We are now just two hours away from that place," Rhea said, and her voice was very serious when she said it.
"We have to be very careful from now Micheal, the last time we were here. We have discovered several powerful Master class Grimms, including a vidette, and there was even a Grandmaster," she said, and it couldn't help but surprise me.
This was not a part of the information she had provided me or told Lord Whitman about it. I had already suspected something there was more to it than what she had told me, and now it is time she told me the truth.
'What had truly happened?' I asked; she seemed to have been expecting that question as a small smile appeared on her face.
'Greed happened,' She replied before opening the map. 'Jim is trapped in a place called melody garden.
It is a vast herbal farm with thousands of herbs that would be useful to Masters, Grandmaster and even those above,' she while showing the spot and highlighting the area it is covering, which is quite big.
'We did not plant to go inside it seeing it is filled with thousands of formations, and a high number of them are broken ones,'
'We have accidentally entered that place through the broken formation and found a huge harvest, anything like we have ever found before, and we let our greed drive our thoughts.
'Before we understood what was happening, Jim had found himself in any very dangerous broken formation which he could not break out with his own power.' She said with a regretful sigh.
'It is not your fault,' I said as I patted her shoulders gently. I know Jim well, and he is a clear-minded fellow. Though he had glaring weaknesses, through which he could not think straight. First is his girlfriend Sarah, and the other is alchemy.
I have seen how he behaves when he finds resources that could help him with research and let him create new things.
He became a hyperactive kid who had no thoughts for the consequence. I have sure, after seeing those resources, he wanted to acquire them, believing he could take them without triggering any formations, but it seemed like he was wrong.
Now he is trapped, and we have no idea whether he is alive or not as it had been nearly a week since he got trapped in the formation, and many things could happen in a week.
'Let's move and get that bastard out of there,' I said, and we began to move again, but we had to stop not long after.
ROAR ROAR ROAR
"Fuck!" I cursed, not able to stop myself as I had heard the familiar roars. These roars are definitely from the boar Grandmaster, and faint electrical discharge in the air is proof that it is definitely it.
The roars are faint, but one could sense blazing rage from it, and from what I could gather, it seemed to be attacking something furiously.
We looked at each other before we moved forward; even if there was a dangerous monster that could crush us in a single attack, we had to move forward, and thankfully, while we were moving in a general direction as the Monster, we were moving toward it.
Another half an hour passed by, and we could see the Monster from a distance and hear it even clearer.
It seemed to be attacking a formation wall crazily, not only with physical attacks but also with the fearsome lightning attacks. Its attacks are easily seemed to be repelled by the formation wall, and it even attacked the Monster back, which seemed to anger it even more.
The reason for its crazy attacks became apparent when I was able to see a few Grimm Monsters behind the huge formation wall, and one of Grimms is Bullman that I had seen fighting against the Monster, a Grandmaster.
There is also a vidette, but it is nothing in front of the threat that Grandmasters represents. I will be able to deal with it if it dares to attack us.
'What the hell is this,' I couldn't help but say that to myself, there are two Grandmasters not far away from us. They both are scarily powerful and could kill us within a second, with us having no chance of defending against them.
'We have entered that place through the left,' Rhea said gently, and we began to move left with our stealth abilities working at the full power.
I had expected my string and cover Rhea with my stealth aura when I saw her ability was not as powerful as mine.
I could not take any chances against these powerful enemies that would not blink even twice before attacking us, and that would be death to us.
'Gasp!'
Around twenty minutes passed by when I suddenly stopped and was bȧrėly able to stop myself gasping in a shock, though I had gasped in shock in mind. The thing I am seeing right now is too shocking for me not to gasp.
In front of me, the huge formation wall had turned translucent, and through it, I could see what was inside it.
'No wonder, Jim had not been able to control himself,' I thought inside myself when I looked ahead, where I saw field after field of herbs.
Nearly half of them still seemed to be maintained even after all these years, while the other half looked like overgrown forests; these overgrown forests are in the parts where the formation have broken.
'What you could see is a small part of melody far, only when you entered inside it will you see the true scale of it,' she said, and I couldn't help but become slightly confused as the scene in front of me is already quite grand.
'We should move quickly; the hidden entrance of it is not much far,' Rhea said while looking at the Monster on the other side, which is still crazily attacking the wall; its fury did not seem to diminish at all.
