Chapter 1879 - Red Amulet

"Dead!"

I whispered as my runes have finished harvesting nearly all, leaving only 1% essence. I left it intentionally, for it maintains its nearly complete dried form.

I gently brought out a beautiful azure rose from its stomach and stored it without much admiring. The job is not done yet; this is the stage where things could turn serious and dangerous. So, I have to be very careful what I do next.

I had already stripped it of everything valuable it had on it, and now that I had also taken the essence rose, it is time for protection amulet to know that the Grimm Monster is dead. 

There are only two things that will happen, then things will go sideways, and the amulet might explode, or nothing much will happen. Even though there are 50% chances that nothing much will happen, I do not want to take risks.

So, I had set the timer I had designed in the formation and flew away from the Grimm Monster till I reached near the end of the hall. 

There I activated the plant protection formation, which I had broken earlier, and waited. I had set up a timer of one minute; only ten seconds have pa.s.sed. In fifty-second, the formation would collapse, and the amulet will know the Grimm Monster it is supposed to protect is dead.

Time pa.s.sed by, and soon fifty seconds pa.s.sed, and formation collapsed. Just as it did, a dark red aura shot out of it; it had covered its whole body and by second became darker and darker.

Due to me being in the protection formation, I could not sense what is happening but seeing the angry red color and how it is going deeper and deeper, it seemed like there is a high chance it might explode. 

It is a good thing, I had covered myself in the protection formation; I would be relatively safe here if it were to explode.

Hun!

I was bracing for the explosion when suddenly, all the angry red glow had vanished, and not only that, the huge body of Azure Horseman also begin to collapse from the top till only ashes remained of it. Though, there is so much remained of the protection amulet.

It is currently floating on the place where the Azure Horseman's ċhėst had been. Seeing that, a smile couldn't help but appear on my face, and I took out a calibrator to broke the formation I am in.

It took a few seconds for me to get out of the formation, and a second later, I appeared beside the ashes of the Azure Horseman, looking at the red-colored floating protection amulet. It looked like a thick gold coin which is painted red, and it had a thick runic design and symbol of wheat stalk on another side.

I had not considered the possibility that I would get a complete protection amulet. Protection Amulets of this level are very rare, and seeing the energy it is emitting, it is much more powerful than I had thought.

I looked at it for a while before gently taking it into my hands; it did not react; it just stayed there. Seeing that, I did not waste any time, started to bond with it.

Hun?

As I tried it, I had found I could not, my efforts are being repelled, and the one that is repelling is Protection Amulet which had been tinkered by lord Al; it is not letting me bond with this amulet. I am not doing it; I feel the protection amulet tinkered by Lord Al is much precious than the one I have in my hand.

There were three protection amulets that Lord Al had tinkered in; of the three, only one had remained on me, the two were given to others.

I gave one to Elina when she went to the devil's gate, she tried to give it back when she had returned, but I did not take it back. She is my good friend and the daughter of my teacher, and I know how much a teacher worries about her daughter, so I let her have it.

The other one I had given to my little sister, though mother had procured very high-level Protection Amulets for my sister. The one I have given her is still better; my mom had herself said that.

Even though I could not use this protection amulet, I am still happy getting it. I could give it to the academy, and I am sure the teacher would be very happy getting a protection amulet for this grade; they are always in very high demand.

"My G.o.d!"

I let out deep gasps after minutes of looking around. This b.a.s.t.a.r.d had too much precious stuff, not only herbs but other things too. The things it has are much more than the Werewolf, and the things that made me gasp are the books.

Usually, Grimm Monsters do not care about the books. If they find any, they would destroy it or not pick it up, but this one seemed to have picked a huge lot of them, and when I checked a few of them, my eyes couldn't help but go wide.

These books are about runic formation. If I had time on hand, I would have set up my abode and started to read them, but unfortunately, I did not afford to spend time reading them; I will only be able to do it after I get out of this tower.

A few seconds later, I finished going through the storage of the Azure Horseman and looked at the door, and projected the runes for the calibrator. I hope there is no elite waiting for me on the other side, I had spent too much time on this floor, and now I just want to leave it.
