Chapter 2269 – Azure Archer I
Fourteen hours are have passed since we have left the Grimm Fortress, and the temperature has become even colder.
It is not just simple cold but magically cold that Emperors who don’t have a sufficiently strong body had to use a faint layer of energy to guard themselves against this cold.
We are now passing over the ruin of the city, which was not a city but a training facility of the blazing sphere. They had abandoned it the moment war had begun. It is not just a blazing sphere; many other supremes and organizations, even Pyramid, had their facilities in this area.
The cold might be dangerous, but it is an excellent training environment; the special cold energies here are very useful in training body and energy.
“I had spent nearly a year in this place in my youth; it was a lot more different than it was in my youthful days,” Edvin said with a tone of reminiscence, and many masters chipped in.
I had not expected nearly half masters under me to have trained here. Once upon a time, I had also wanted to come here, but due to constraints of time and more important things, I was not able to come here.
Hun!
I was in my thoughts when suddenly a figure of Grimm Monsters appeared in front of my eyes for a moment before it disappeared.
‘That Ratman is quite persistent,’ I said in myself, seeing it through the Ashlyns eyes.
I had thought that Ratman had left for good, but I was wrong. It had come back around ten hours ago had been following me from the far distance, that only through Ashlyn and Nero, I was able to get a clear glimpse of it.
I would have attacked it if the bastard had not been so skittish. Since it had begun following me, it was very careful, never staying in one place for more than a second and always disappearing through the spatial away and appeared a few minutes later in a completely different spot.
I have been tracking its movements but acting like I had not seen it. I want to see whether it dare to come closer to me; if it did, I would attack this bastard.
The council would be very happy. If I can take care of this bastard, it had killed too many humans to let it have the joy of being alive.
Another two hours passed by, and the bastard had been appeared and disappeared too many times for me to count, already maintaining the great distance, never daring to come too close to me that now, it had begun to irritate me.
Though I kept my emotions calm, it is not the only danger I will face here. If I let my emotions get better of me, then I would pay a heavy price.
“It had been seventeen hours since we have left the Grimm Fortress, and no attack came; it seemed like Grimm Monsters might not attack us as we had expected,” Edvin said as he looked around carefully with his abilities active.
“Don’t let your guard down, Edvin. It is Grimms we are talking about; they are very petty when they want to take their revenge, and they will take revenge for their Grandmaster,” Neha cautioned.
I did not participate in their conversation, but Neha is right. Even though the Grimms have not launched their attack yet but they will, I am very sure of it. It may be Ratman who is following me from the distance or something else.
I did not have to wait for much longer as about two hours later, Nero gave me the visual cloaking artifact far away, which hid a very powerful Grandmaster.
Seeing it, I did not react differently; with my abilities, I could not see it, and I behaved as if I could not see it and continued moving forward. I continued for another forty minutes before my own senses were able to discover it.
I would not have been able to discover it soon if I did not know where to look at and what to look at beforehand. So, I behaved as if I did not see anything and continued moving forward.
“Stop!”
I said half an hour later, as huge changes had appeared on my face, and looked at my left around twenty kilometers away and continued looking at it.
A minute later, I moved my hands forward, and a twelve petal black-pink rose formed in my hand. As it formed, I pushed it toward the direction of cloaked Grimm.
My slight push gave the rose immense speed that it took less than three seconds for it to cross the distance and appeared above cloaked Grimm, where the rose petals separated and fell down like lightning with their size growing at every second.
My men watched in awe and confusion as I attacked the empty space, but the confusion did not remain on their faces for long.
Just when those ever-growing black-pink petals have crossed more than a third of the distance, twelve yellow arrows have appeared out of nowhere and moved toward the petals at great speed.
Boom Boom Boom
The twelve huge yellow arrows struck against my huge petals, creating the resplendent explosion that was extremely deadly but also extremely beautiful, far more beautiful than the firework.
“I had not throught you would discover us this early with such powerful cloaking artifact hiding us,” The refined voice of Grimm Monster rang out. I did not even have to look which Grimm Monster it was; there was only one tribe there that put effort to completely master the human accent.
As expected, a Foxman appeared or Foxwomen; it is quite hard to tell by the distance. It is clear it belongs to the Azure Foxman tribe; with that luxurious azure fur and huge green bow in its hand, it is one of few tribes that use the bow among the Grimms.
It is alone; if the counter was any proof, I don’t think it would need anyone’s help.
