Chapter 2116 - The Raven Palace

"You all came quicker than I had expected," The woman said as she appeared in front of us, "We have been quite lucky," Marla replied.

"Now that we have met, let's go; we have to ritual to destroy before it succeeded," She said and moved toward the direction of Raven Palace. We followed behind her silently, matching her speed without any difficulty.

As I followed behind, I couldn't help but shake off the feeling of familiarity with that person; I feel like I know her and know her well, but her aura and presence is not the one I am familiar with, and I am very good at auras if I had sensed it before I would have remembered it.

There are not many Masters of her level I am very familiar with, though I had come to know many of them, I do not have any close relations.h.i.+p with them other than that of the colleagues.

I shook my head of those thoughts, if I am as familiar, she must also be familiar with me, but I saw no indication from her, not that I could see mist covering her entire figure, which makes it hard to determine her even her height and physique.

A few minutes later, we slowed down a little an early Master flew over us before picking up the speed. This ruin seemed to have contained only Masters; till now, we have come across seven Grimm Monsters, and all of them were Master.

Which made me question should I consume the thing that Lord Whitman has provided me. It is a good thing and would be able to replenish more than 50% of my lifeforce, which is a little wasteful, seeing I have nearly recovered all my strength.

I could use that resources for a better time which will come very soon in the future, I will be fighting Violet Vidette and might have to burn my blood again, and this resource would help me a lot with that but seeing the number of Masters here, I might have fight high number of powerful masters here and with my current state, I would not be able to fight at my 100%.

It is quite a dilemma that made me think a lot before I had decided not to consume it. I had already recovered nearly 90% and would be able to recover the last ten in less than ten hours. We might even not fight in these ten hours, seeing we have to break into the palace before we make a move to destroy our target.

Three hours pa.s.sed by, and we have finally reached Raven Palace, we would have reached here sooner, but we had to stop a couple of times. The closer we get to the Raven Palace, the greater more Grimm Monsters we would encounter, and they would be powerful.

The Raven Palace is a very grand name, and the palace had also would have been grand in its days, but now, it is stretched for miles and have signs of a huge garden around it, but now the palace is half-collapsed, and only signs of the garden have remained, not the real garden.

"It is not decapitated as it looked, at least the section in which the Black Teeth Hyenmen had conducting their ritual," The woman said before she focused on the Grimm Monsters which is guarding the palace.

There is no need to explain things to us; we could see nine Grimm Monsters flying around it. Unlike the Grimm Monsters we have seen on the way, these ones are truly powerful. They are as powerful as us, only a step away from reaching Grandmaster cla.s.s.

I am sure there are some more that are deeply hidden; they will come out the moment they discover us.

"These are not the only ones; there are more inside protecting Black Teeth Hyenamen who are performing the ritual; they will be the real danger we will face," The women said, which has surprised me a little. "It seemed like I had underestimated the help coven would give to support such wretched experiment." "It seemed like they have really wanted to destroy us to go this far," Marla said.

The sheer number of Masters is huge, such numbers would have easily filled a couple of forts and helped them widen the edge they have on us, but they have placed them here for the protection of b.a.s.t.a.r.ds Hyenamen.

"Follow me, I have already found a safe way inside," The woman said and slowly moved toward the Raven Palace as she increased the power of her stealth method, making her invisible to a sense of people who are watching her directly.

The power has surprised me, as my normal soul sense could not catch her. My art had improved my soul sense tremendously, but I still could not sense her with my rule soul sense; only using some of the abilities of rule-bending power could I sense her.

To my shock, the woman is not the only one to have such caliber stealth method, thirty-three also activated powered his stealth method, and it came really close to women in stealth while Marla's ability is quite behind the two, but it is still much better than people of her level considering what type of Inheritance she has.

I, too, activated stealth formation in my armor, and even though I have achieved stealth better than Marla, it is still quite pale compared to the two.

It seemed like I would have to focus on that stealth drop I got; it held the answer to take my stealth method to a completely different level.

We followed the women who had skillfully led us around the Grimm Monsters without getting discovered, and soon we entered inside a dilapidated palace which is filled with broken formation, but the women seemed to have scouted the area well expertly led around it.

After nearly two hours, we have finally stopped in front of a huge door that had a complex formation s.h.i.+ning on it.. "This is as far as I could come with my abilities; behind these walls is section 3 where the Black Teeth Hyenamen are performing their ritual," The Women said.
