Chapter 1884 - 44th Floor

Days pa.s.sed by, and I continue to do what I am doing. There were not any major incidents, though I have fought with the two elites, one of them took quite an effort of kill, but when I looked at its storage, every effort had worthed it.

It was quite regretful that I did not find any Elite with the Bloodline, but I am still quite happy about the loot I have got from them.

I  have just finished going through the halls of the 43rd floor and now climbing the stairs of the 44th floor, middle floors of the top upper floors.

It took me few seconds to reach the 44th floor, and the first thing I felt was the dense astral energy. The astral energy in the 41st floor to 43rd floor was nearly the same, but as I climbed on the 44th floor, the energy has become even denser.

The denser energy is not the only thing I had felt; I had seen thirty-something Grimm Monsters and ten some humans walking around the hallways.

Some were going into the herb halls, others were coming out, some climbing down, some climbing up. Like the floors below, all the seven doors are broken and opened. There are clear signs of powerful artifacts that could be felt around some doors; it is evident that some people had used powerful artifacts to open them.

As I entered the hallway, many Grimm Monsters and humans looked at me, but the gazes of six people are most evident.

They are elites; of the six elites, two are humans while the four are Grimm Monsters. The strange is of the six elites, I am only familiar with one, the Bone Snakeman, while the other five are new to me, including two humans who were unranked when I saw them last time.

The training rooms and precious plants here had increased the strength of many people exponentially. Some of the plants could be eaten directly, and they will increase your strength.

If I had not at my absolute limit, I would have stuffed those herbs in my mouth long ago, but at my current stage, they are useless to me. Though, they would become quite useful as soon as I leveled up to the Tyrant stage.

I looked at each Tyrant who was hanging around the hall for some reason before I moved toward the first herb hall.

Hun!

According to them, a few days ago, the Tyrants of both sides have decreed that the upper three floors are off the limits.

Those two are complaining about the leader cla.s.s Tyrants hogging, all the best benefits. It is the best news for me, I could handle the Elite, but the leaders are way beyond me. They would need just a few seconds to turn me into the pulp.

I looked at the five-six Tyrant before I walked into the first herb hall; the things from now on would not be simple, but it did not matter. As long as the whole group of Grimm Tyrants did not attack me, I would be fine.

I would have been a little worried if there had not been human elite Tyrants here, but there are and with them as a deterrent, all four of them would not dare to attack me.

As I entered inside, I saw many unranked Grimm Monsters and humans loitering around. I did not focus on them. Instead, I looked at herb hall, which had picked clean. I walked through the overgrown plants, and soon, I found what I was looking for.

A protected plant formation. I did not waste any time and took out my calibrator and started solving the formation. 

In the past few days, with constant practice, I was able to reduce my time a lot, from three hours to slightly more than an hour but to solve this formation, but this time, it might take a little longer than that. The formation is much harder than what I had solved in the 41st to 43rd floors.

It is not a surprising fact seeing the energy in the herb hall is much denser, and that makes it plant inside even more precious.

I continued to solve the formation in complete focus while Ashlyn guards me while being invisible. If anyone dared to attack me, I would know about it.

It is worth it, though, because the plant inside is extremely precious. It would fetch me hundreds of times of what mana crystal is worth.

Time pa.s.sed by, I continued to break open one protective formation after another, and that started to attract the attention. At first, it was only the unranked humans and Grimm Monsters, but soon, I found even elites are looking at me.

The elites did not take any action, but I could feel their greed is growing, and now they are just waiting for me to break all the plant's protective formation before they attack me. These Grimm b.a.s.t.a.r.ds had even sealed the entrances of the floor, not letting anyone come in and go out of the floor.

I acted like it is nothing to do with me; I continued to break the protective formations and collected the precious plants inside.

Soon, I finished the last protective formation on the seventh herb hall and harvested the plant. As I did, I felt an aura of elites covering the whole herb hall; those unranked Tyrants who were still present here had tucked their tails and flew away till only elites have remained in the hall.
