Chapter 2436 Rustle I am flying as fast as I can; the Grimms have already entered the repository and begun breaking into the rooms and taking fortunes inside them. I could not let them have anything, especially the five things they were searching for; they needed them for something extremly important, and that is reason enough. While I am flying at my best, it would still take me a day to reach the bronze graveyard unless I am willing to tear through the space. That would instantly kill me; all the people who had tried till now had died, and I do not wish to due fruitlessly. I feel so powerless right now, and the only thing I can do is prepare. The enemies I will be facing are very strong, and I have to be prepared to face them. So, I begin to make the preparations, from mapping everything Nero and Ashlyn see to cracking the formations. Twenty-two hours passed before I finally saw the silhouette of the bronze graveyard. The dilapidated city is shining like a bright lamp of bronze light in the midnight sky. My speed slowed down considerably; in these twenty-two hours, I have faced nine flesh golems, of which three of them were at peak Grandmaster class. One was especially powerful; its explosion nearly broke my shields. I still shudder whenever I think about the explosion; it was too powerful. Thud! About half an hour later, I landed a few miles near the bronze graveyard before sneakily beginning to walk toward it. If I fly, I will get detected even if I am careful; nearly a hundred flesh golems are roaming the bronze graveyard, and they are very dangerous. Especially when they came against the enemy together, one could barely survive in such circumstances. There were two Grimm Grandmasters have been caught by these flesh golems, and they were only able to survive because they had left the runes. Still, the injuries they have gotten in just a couple of seconds are fighting enough that even for peak Grandmaster, they will take quite a time to heal. I followed the way Ashlyn had mapped for me; it was safest and would take me to the bronze graveyard at quickest without being discovered. Still, it took me an hour before I finally took a step inside the bronze graveyard, and as I did, I instantly felt the thick metallic and death energy. It is so thick that it had blanked my mind for a moment; no wonder the initial level Grandmaster could not bear it. How can they? Both of the energies are freaking dense, and it is fortunate these energies are just existing and not targeting like the flesh golem, and if they had, even the Bullman would not have been able to survive their assault for more than a minute. Rustle! I was about to take my second step inside when suddenly, I heard a rustle in my mind. I instantly knew which tree it was from and what it wanted, and I couldn't help but be surprised to see it could even communicate, as I had never heard about them being able to do that. It is a metal essence tree that had just talked to me; saying talked would be too much as what it did was more primal than talking, but I understood its intentions clearly. It said it had sensed something, and it needed it; it did not mention where it was or what this thing that it had sensed. Seeing there is no other info, I did not waste any time; there are more important things than looking for the things that the metal essence tree is needed. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚 The Grimms have already found one of the five things they needed, not to mention they are already stuffing their storages with the other kinds of fortune they are coming across. The only good thing about all this is that the key Grimms could not be used in opening the treasure rooms inside. The old Foxman needed to crack these formations to step into the treasure rooms. I begin to walk inside the bronze graveyard, avoiding the flesh golems with the help of Ashlyn. Still, my speed was dirt slow, and just like before, I was powerless to do anything. If I tried to be faster and got discovered, then all the flesh golems would down on me, and I would have no choice but to escape th ruin to save my life. There are some flesh golems here that even Bullman wouldn't want to fight; those golems wouldn't take long, more than a few seconds, to finish me off. It took two and half hours before I was finally reached the circle that four Grimm Monsters had formed. There used to be six Grimm Monsters, but now there are only two, as four had to run away due to being discovered by the flesh golem. I continued moving for about fifteen minutes when I suddenly stopped, and strings began to come out from me. If I want to enter the underground chamber where the gemmed door is, I will have to deal with these four Grimms before. Each of them is standing at the strategic location from which they could see the entrance; they have even placed the detection artifacts. The detection artifacts will not be a problem as long as I can deal with these Grimms. To be honest, I would have gone straight but seeing how their eyes and senses locked on the entrance, I would not be able to, no matter how good my stealth method is. It would have been amazing if I had the rule-bending body like Nero or shrunk myself to the thumb size like Ashlyn. Once discovered, they might inform the Bullman inside with the communication artifacts they have. I could not let that happen; the surprise is the only element here that I have in my favor. Well, it is not a bad thing, considering the two Grimms I am targeting have the bloodlines. The other two will be handled by Ashlyn, and considering the strength, she has shown, she would not have any problem dealing with the two Grimms.
