Chapter 2023 - Lord Of Gla.s.s

'I should finish it off as soon as possible,' I thought to myself and moved my giant fingers. As I did, the twelve Grimm Monsters I had bound earlier few toward me.

Their fight had stopped the moment I had sealed the Stone Lightning Tigerman; the two peak Master Cla.s.s Tyrants started to more to focus on running away than fighting the twelve Grimm Monsters under my control; unfortunately, they were unsuccessful.

I have bound them too, as I had found the rest of the Grimm Monsters; I have no intention to let any of these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds get away.

I looked at the twelve mid-Master cla.s.s Tyrants; they have on the brink of death, there are grave injuries on their bodies, and their vitals are low. They are struggling with each breath, but they are alive, and that is enough for me.

I lined up all the Grimm Monsters in front of me before I began. I could not waste any time; there are powerful monsters around me that would only need a moment to crush me into pieces; it is my luck that there are some of my sides; otherwise, I would have been finished already.

As I began, thousands of strings started to peel out from my giant body and move towards the Grimm Monsters. They have covered all the Grimm Monsters and started to form a sphere of strings around them.

It took less than five seconds to form a sphere; now, there is a giant thirty-five-meter radius sphere in front of me, and it is connected to me by the bridge of vines on which I am standing.

'I must look really good standing in the front of the giant sphere; I hope people are taking photos, I would like some,' I joked in my mind to elevate the fear I am feeling in my heart.

I shook those thoughts of fear from my mind; I had no control over the powerful people hiding around me. I just hope that when I begin the harvesting, they will protect me. I really wanted to not do that; it would be like spitting on the face of the b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, but I had no choice, I could not run back to the academy, nor I could just simply kill the Grimm Monsters.

That would be just pure wastage; the energy crystals I would get from their dead bodies if I survived would be pitiful compared to the real reward I would get from harvesting them.

There are two things that mainly stopped me running away, the essence rose I will get from the Stone Lightning Tigerman and also the two Bloodlines. I need both of them; they are very necessary for me, I just hope I survive doing it.

I had already spread the strings outside and inside of their body, and the moment I started harvesting, those powerful people were going to sense the fluctuations, and all the h.e.l.l would break loose; I just hope that I survive when that happens.

Buzz!

Taking a deep breath, I initiated the harvesting and the moment I did. My silent core began to spin, and the runes that were invisible in my body became visible and buzzed, and the formation of the essences roses began in the Grimm Monsters.

'It begins!' I said with a sigh as I felt the powerful presence around me; they were so freaking powerful that they began to harm me just with the will contained in them. These b.a.s.t.a.r.ds have not launched the actual attack, and they are still able to do this much; I wonder how many fractions of seconds I would last if they attacked me.

Hun!

I was thinking the grim thoughts of my death when suddenly, I sensed something coming at me with very fast speed.

At first, I thought it was an attack, but it was not as it was coming from the academy, especially from the office of a headmistress.

The whole building is covered in the bright golden formation; the golden formation looked extremely complex, and it had released a golden beam that was about to reach me. I don't know what that golden formation is, but I know it is not harmful.

Hun!

I am not the only one who seemed to understand that; those who wished me harm also seemed to understand that, and I felt powerful energies s.h.i.+fting at me; it is clearly an attack and one that I could defend against its slightest touch would finish me off.

"Humph!"

A faint hump rang out in the air, and I saw the mirrors appear around me, protecting me, protecting me against the wave of the invisible attacks.

A moment later, the invisible attacks clashed against the mirrors, and mirrors shone brightly, and other than that, there was no change in them.

"Gasp!"

I was blown away by the scale of the attack that I couldn't help but gasp. The people-watching may see nothing special about this attack, but it is enormous. In front of these attacks, what Stone Lightning Tigerman did was child's play.

The mirrors that had appeared in front of me are no ordinary defensive methods but a Grand Art known as the Fortress Of Mirrors, and there is the only person in the whole world who practices this art, and that is lord of gla.s.s, teacher of Grand Commander Hera and lady Vivian.

There is a rumor that both sisters have practiced the Grand Art, but there is no proof of it, and many people do not believe it as it was never officially recorded.

Not to mention, in the thousands of years of history of Crystal Domination, there has never been more than one person who had comprehended the Grand Art. This is not the restriction but the way the Grand Arts are; they are dammed hard to practice.

Sup!

A moment after an attack was blocked, the golden beam reached me, but instead of entering me as I had expected it would do, it began to expand rapidly, with its size changing into something different.
