Chapter 2548 14%

TANG Tang tang!

The last of the hammer fell on the phantom before the work golems began to put back their weapons into the rack and became statue-like before.

The phantom, which was dark coppery not long ago, had turned translucently silver. It had been a while since I had practiced the art, and now that I had leveled up to the Master cla.s.s, I was once again able to practice it.

The third level is really something much better than the other two levels; I had only practiced the 14% of the third level, but the advancement I have got is really shocking. It now has given me huge confidence in my survival against the Black Sharkman Fasra and other threats.

About half a day ago, I had not thought I would be able to practice my art as I had injured my soul. To practice the art, I need to be in perfect condition.

It turned out that the clone of the method could help in healing soul injuries. My soul injuries that were supposed to take four to five days to heal fully had taken only around ten hours, and I am ready to deal with anything that will come at me.

I looked at the light silver phantom before walking out of the forge mountain into my core.

I could see close was my study station, reading the tome I had got from the tiny being. It is one complex book I have, and one could be stuck for hours and days at a concept. Unlike me, the clone is having a much smoother time.

Every second, a new comprehension enters my mind, enriching my knowledge of the soul further.

This is just a single clone; I wonder what two clones or three might be able to do. I did not dare to think about more; for more, I would definitely have to break the limit of the world, and I don't have much confidence in doing that, even with all my abilities.

Not to mention, I could die.

We are fighting the greatest war we have fought against the Grimms in millennia; in this war, not even Grand Lords could guarantee their life, much less me, who barely got the power of the Grand Lord.

I shook my head of those thoughts and opened my eyes.

The black spherical breakthrough formation is still floating around me even after the hours of breakthrough. I did not remove it; instead, first, I burned all the impurities off my body and wore a new set of clothes, including my favorite jacket.

With my level up, I could now use more power and thus will be able to take greater advantage of the jacket.

I waved my hand and looked around; the humans were still busy taking the const.i.tutional essence while Grimms were screaming, so much their throats became dry, and it was very hard to make the throats of Emperors dry.

I did not feel even an ounce of pity for these b.a.s.t.a.r.ds. If it had been up to them, they would have taken the const.i.tution from the humans and eaten them afterward, as they have been doing for centuries.

I have heard quite a detailed account of what they do as many masters are very much looking forward to that.

After the Grimms finished extracting the humans of their const.i.tution, they would fit the humans into special artifacts called stuffing pods and send those pods into the fountain, where their bodies would stuff with the pure energy till they died.

It is an extremly painful process, and all humans die during it, but what Grimms get is a delicacy, something only these humans could have.

After all the const.i.tution essence is extracted, an empty s.p.a.ce is created inside the human body, which it wants to fill, and Grimm fills it with elemental energy. It is said Grimms benefits a lot from eating these stuffed humans, especially these Grimm Emperors.

After looking at humans and Grimms, I turned to Black Sharkman Fasra. It is still in the same position as it has been since the beginning, and when I looked at it, it instantly caught my eyes, and I could see the deep hatred in its eyes.

It is waiting for me to come outside; I am sure it will try it all to kill me.

I looked at it for a couple of seconds before turning to the humans, which are absorbing the const.i.tution energy from the Grimms, but not all of them are succeeding in that.

The const.i.tutions are not something you could easily advance, even when it comes to two similar const.i.tutions. There is a need for high compatibility with them before it would let the essence of other const.i.tutions merge with it.

It is a huge problem among humans, not so much in Grimm Monster. From what I heard, only around 5% of Grimm's const.i.tutional essences, but here that number is over 50%.

Both are different races with different strengths and weaknesses; the const.i.tution they have might be the same, but it is molded to their needs, and humans, which belong to completely different and are the ant.i.thesis of Grimms, might be fully suitable with their const.i.tution.

While it did not matter to any other human, I was a little vexed seeing young women's const.i.tution is not accepting the const.i.tutional essence of Grimm.

It had accepted it for the first hour before abruptly rejecting it, which is quite a regret. I was hoping the const.i.tution essence from the Grimm would help in healing the ma.s.sive damage she had caused to her const.i.tution.

It would have been great if I could change her position and use the const.i.tutional essence of the other Grimms, but I could not.

The spots are fixed by the Grimm Grand Lord, and I have already taken a huge risk in copying the seals, and I don't want to do anything further.

This artifact is very powerful, and if it is detected something wrong and targets guns at me. I don't think I would survive it even with the colossal advancements I had got.

Though, she is not out of the option, especially when I am present. My seeds inside the Grimms and humans are absorbing the wasted const.i.tutional energy, which is a lot more than half.

Even this artifact, it could not make humans absorb all the extracted essence; the thing happens when it comes to Grimms. Less than half of the const.i.tution essence is merged with the receiver, while more than half goes to waste.

This time it would not happen; my seeds are collecting it all, and I am more than capable of finding good use of this const.i.tutional energy. h.e.l.l, it is a pure treasure, value above even divine crystals; if I use it wisely, it will be able to help the project tremendously.

I looked at the progress of extraction and estimated that it would take ten to fifteen hours for the extraction process to finish, which is more than enough time for me to prepare against the Black Sharkman.

Hun!

A few hours pa.s.sed when suddenly Nero contacted me to give the information, and for a moment, I feared it was another grave news, but it was not.

It is joyous news.
