After entering the abode, I showered, Cooked and ate before I went to the practice room, where I first inspected the storages of Eight Star Elites, Seven Star Elite, and some Six-Star Elites, whatever I could within an hour.

I have decided to give myself a one hour time to inspect the Grimm Monsters storages. Though my speed is great, I could only inspect the maximum fifty in one hour, and I have thousands of Grimm monster storages are stored in my storage ring which I could only expect in my free time.

The storages, I found some good stuff, but I do not need any of them, this stuff could only add more stuff on shelves in my storage. Though this stuff may be useless to me right now, still one day, it will sure turn useful.

After finis.h.i.+ng with the storages, I started to practice Body Cleansing Exercise, Secrete method, and Supreme Combat Exercise. All of them are progressing steadily, with the secret method really close to reaching the 3rd transformation.

There is no circulation in the secrete method except for one, so it became very hard to tell how much progress is one making in the Secrete Method, I could only go by gut feeling which is telling me, and if I continue practicing with my current pace then, I might soon reach the 3rd transformation of Secrete Method.

I really hope that day comes soon as I really need strength right now, and 3rd Transformation might be able to take me to become a Nine Star Elite.

After I was done with the practice of three methods, I laid on the ground tiredly for a few minutes despite having the energy to get up. I got up after some time and started refining the Grey energy to charge up the Mystic Method and fill my mana storage.

This time when I was doing that, I tried to take my mana to the second floor of the tower but second later backed down when my mana crashed across the thick steel wall.

'I am far from ready to breach that s.h.i.+eld!' I said to myself. Before breaking into the Lord stage, I will have to refine my mana through the whole tower, if I able to do that then I will get perfect mana that will be perfectly suitable to my new const.i.tution and will help me perfectly fuse with Inheritance.

But it will be very hard, just now when I was trying to take my mana into the second floor, I felt immense resistance which was like a thick metal plate in front of an average human, without sufficient power the human will never be able to breach that metallic plate.

I will have to acc.u.mulate some more experience before I could think about breaching into the 2nd floor of the Tower.

After I filled my mana storage and Runic Lily, I got up and take out my sword and started to practice with it. In today's fight, I've learned a lot, I wanted to consolidate what I learned and merged that into my comprehension.

I practiced for a full three hours before I tiredly put away my sword and went to shower and sleep right after.

I woke up in the morning, after freshening up and eating, I practiced three methods again before I went shower and twenty minutes after that left the abode with Ashlyn.

I looked at the map and decided to fly until I reached the boundary to Marianna Hill, if I were to walk there even with my highest speed, it would take me two and a half hours, so flying is the only option I have.

I covered myself with the thick killing energy and flew up till I reached above the cold, where I experienced the biting winds and freezing cold. I could bear it at this height, but if I went up, then it would be quite difficult.

Above I flew at the perfect speed, a speed that is balanced enough that it does not make any sound. There are a lot of Nine Star Elites that fly around, and I don't want to attract their attention.

It took me forty-five minutes to reach my destination. I started to land; before landing, I had asked Ashlyn to scout below in her small size. I am very close to Mariana Hill, so I want to be safe when I go down. I don't want to catch the eyes of the Nine Star Elite or higher level powerhouse.

Crunch!

I landed on the ground smoothly but still made the sound after landing on the dried leaf.

Three Kilometers in front of me is the big hill range, and that is the start of Mariana Hill. I looked at that hill range for a while before I started to walk toward it cautiously.

From here and now, my every step has to be cautious, a simple mistake on my part, and I will be noticed by the Nine Star Elite, which I don't want to face till I am ready.

With each step, I got closer and closer to the mountain range till I finally reached it an hour later, on the way Ashlyn had killed many Grimm Monsters, including some Eight Star Elites whose numbers had suddenly risen.

I had not stopped Ashlyn from killing the Grimm Monsters as that is the whole purpose of it, I just put one condition in front of her, and that is; she had to quit, she had to be so quiet that the only sound coming from the fight is the sound of the monster falling on the ground.

She did as she promised, whichever monster she had fought got killed in single attacks including some Eight Star Elite, only against some powerful Eight Star Silver Elite she needed to attack twice or thrice.

In this hour, I've also sensed not one but two Nine Star Elites. One was with its team while others were leading the group of human's into the Marianna Hill's like always rage inside me had built seeing the condition of the humans, but I did not; just watch them as Grimm Monsters herd them into the Mariana Hill's.

Standing on top of the hill, I look at the Mariana Hills where I see stretches of a small and big hill, and within the silent and Raging rivers flowing, there are some of the big and small Waterfalls that could also be seen between the hills.

"The picture does not do justice to the Marian Hills beauty," I whispered as I looked at the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen. The pictures of Mariana Hill's I saw really did not do justice to the real thing.

I enjoyed the scenery for a full half an hour before I started to walk inside the Mariana Hill.

I am in no rush to start fighting; the first thing I have to do is look for the camp of the Grimm Monsters. Though I am far from having the capability to destroy the camps, I still want to take a look at it.

I want to look at it so I could have a clear target in my mind and as once I have a target in mind, I worked very hard to achieve it, so I planned to take a look at the camp of the Grimm Monster before I could start some real fighting in the Mariana Hills.
