Chapter 2657: Upgrade
Buzz!
The runes buzzed and released the thick, strengthening energy, far thickest than I had ever received. This Grimm Monster had far above my degree, and I wouldn't be able to defeat it if I had fought it on my own.
As they say, supreme strength might be unbeatable, but guile could make even supreme powerhouse eat the shit.
The thick energy spread inside me, increasing my strength every second. I had to slow my pace to adjust to the constant increase in strength, lest I end up making mistakes.
As the strengthening energy was released, the growth energy had also released inside me, and just like the strengthening energy, the growth energy had also been extremly powerful. The resources begin to grow and mature at an extremly fast speed.
From normal resources to the metal essence tree, which had covered itself with the bronze energy, it is sucking from the half-bronze tree floating above it.
The growth of the stainless blood soul lotuses is slow but still faster than usual, especially of the lower level ones, which are rapidly climbing the Emperor stage, while the energies inside them become purer and more powerful.
It is certain without a doubt that the growth energy definitely helps the seven lotuses reach the Grandmaster class, considering they are already in the leader class.
I only glanced at my core for a moment before focusing on my moving away. Even without looking at the core personally, I know what is happening inside it through my clone, who is now busy harvesting the resources rapidly.
They are rapidly reaching the Grandmaster and High Grandmaster classes. Even two types of seeds I have planted have grown into trees in just a couple of seconds; with this powerful growth energy, I am sure they will be able to reach a high level in a Tyrant class.
These two seeds are from the thousands we have got through donations. There are hundreds of amazing seeds, but only these two I could plant in my core.
These are extremly rare and, more importantly, they are needed for the project; one of them is extremly important for the High-Grandmaster project; it would be great if I could take it to the High-Grandmaster class; it would tremendously benefit me and others.
A minute has passed since the strengthening energy begin to come out of my runes, and it is still coming.
My strength has taken a huge leap already, and it is not stopping; there is still a huge amount of energy that is coming toward me. I really needed that boost because there is a very high chance that I will come across Grimms of its level or even stronger.
Not to mention the monsters, which are an even bigger threat than the Grimms; because once they have discovered me, I will not be facing a single monster, and defeating a single monster here challenge it to itself.
With every second, I could hear the sounds of monsters getting louder and louder despite covering more distance. Some of the monsters seemed to have joined the fights, which erupted not long ago, and I began to hear the loud sounds and the shockwaves.
Which had forced me to hasten my face further despite ever-increasing power, which is harder than one could imagine as it is not just the speed I have to maintain, but also stealth ability which power is also growing.
It is a good thing; I have Ashlyn from above who is helping me; if not for her, I would have been running away from the Grimms.
Four and a half minutes passed, and finally, the last speck of strengthening energy had been absorbed by me, giving me a huge boost in strength. It made me ecstatic, as this boost had increased my chances tremendously.
The growth energy that the mysterious tree produced has also done magic in my core; it became verdant again and now has an even higher level of resources than before.
The one thing that made me most happy was the seven stainless blood soul lotuses; all the first seven roses have reached the Grandmaster class. I will have been surprised if they have not, considering how powerful the energy had been.
Aside from them, the second batch of essence roses had not only reached the Tyrant class but also reached the peak of the Elite class.
I have reached even closer to my goal; I am planning to take them to the High-Grandmaster class before I begin to use them. Though, I will keep one back to make it reach as high as possible to be used in the making of a clone.
I would be really happy if I could take one to the absolute peak of High-Grandmaster class, just like I had found them in the first place and used them for my first clone.
Four hours passed, and I reached very close to the destination, about an hour distance away, which I am quickly reducing as I am moving through the forest under the direction of Ashlyn.
In these three hours, I have not come across any Grimm Monsters, nor Ashlyn and Nero. Though they have caught the signs of them, these signs are quite visible around the destinations.
The Grimms have about a day of leade over me, and it is not surprising with their luck. I just hope it is not too late; I want to get my hands on whatever produced that powerful signal or at least stop the Grimms from getting it.
'I have finished with the formation,' informed my clone, and hearing that, a big bright smile couldn't help on my face.
I asked my clone to make the changes in the soul-washing formation when I had entered this high-psychedelic region. The monsters are more powerful here, and my soul cleansing method also has advanced, and for it, I need a more powerful soul washing formation to protect myself.
It had finished a while ago, but when I obtained that purple brick and investigated it, I asked my clone to make further changes to incorporate it into the formation.
Now, it had successfully done it, increasing my defenses against the psychedelic by a huge margin. While the new powerful soul-washing formation would cost me, it is nothing compared to my life, not to mention, it produces quite great benefits.
'Change it,' I said and stopped circulating the soul cleansing method, which I have constantly been practicing with the heavy dose of psychedelics coming at me from my armor. I have stored quite a lot of it for my practice.
The soul-washing formation covering the ground of my core disappeared, and the next moment, a slightly bigger and even more elaborate formation took its place, and it had the purple brick at its center.
Buzz!
The formation is activated, and the soul-washing energies begin to come out of it; the soul-washing energies are a little different. They are more attuned to my soul and are reaching more deeper level than before.
My clone had collected a huge data on the working of the formation and used it to create an even better and more efficient version of it, which is capable of releasing very powerful soul-washing energies when I needed to.
Not to mention there is an additional defense of purple brick; it could be said that with all the preparations, I am ready to deal with all the challenges that will come to me when I reach the destination.
