Chapter 3536 Corruption Lake 'A few seconds more,' I thought as I followed the two Grimms cautiously. It is a risk, but I want to kill the Grimms. There are two Grimms that I am following really closely, one High Earth Sovereign, and the other Mid-Earth Sovereign. The Mid-Earth Sovereign has a bloodline, but the High-Earth Sovereign is more powerful and I am targeting it. Nearly half a minute passed and Grimms stopped and turned directly toward me. "This is a good spot, isn't it native? Here, we will be able to kill you with no disturbance?" asked the Snakeman. "It is, here there will be no one to help you. When I bury my swords in your chest," I said back as I stepped out of the stealth. Of course, I know, they know I am following them. I had even taken advantage of their discovery when I had realized they had sensed me and moved even closer to them. The Grimms liked to play games, and I had given them what they wanted. "You have a sharp tongue; I love to eat tongues of natives who have sharp tongues," he said and a blue crystal saber appeared in his hand. "I like the crystals too; you will give me quite a lot of them," I said and could see a flash of anger appear on its face before it disappeared. "Good," it said and came at me with aura flaring. It wants to finish the battle soon, as it has nearly summoned quite a power. The Snow Werewolf beside it did the same. Bloodline phantom materialized behind it, before merging into it. Reinforcing its power. Burst 100%. I didn't stay in my spot either and moved toward them. Hun! Soon, there were barely a few meters of distance between us and Grimms swung their weapons and I was about to do the same toward the Snow Werewolf while pulling the strings when I sensed something. 'Fuck!' I cursed Rip! A moment later, the huge saber of the Snakeman cut through me. Giving me a large cut across my back, while I moved my sword to defend against the attack from the claws of the Snow Werewolf. CLANNNG! I defended, before moving to dodge another attack from it. As for why, I didn't pull the strings and doing it right now. Because there is fucking Sky Sovereign here. It is moving, but its soul sense is covering the whole battle. These two bastards might not be able to sense, due to it being extremely faint, but I could. The Sky Sovereigns isn't a common one either, but it is powerful. I could feel its power from its soul's sense. Rip CLANNNG! Another attack hit me, this time on my shoulder, while I had defended against the Snow Werewolf. Both of the attacks seemed to have given the bastard more confidence, as it poured out even more power and attacked me. I could sense everything about its attack and its powerful. At the moment, I am able to take it to a precise degree, because my strings provide me with accurate data. Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken such a risk against the Grimm, who has the ability to kill me. Rip! It hit my lower back, and there was a smile on my face. The soul sense had disappeared. I moved my sword toward the Snow Werewolf. It looked like the past defenses, but as our sword reached close, my sword became faster, avoiding its claws to the surprise of the Grimms. "Bastard!" cursed Snakeman and burst out of its full power, which was quite scary. It moved or tried to move, but found it couldn't. It had been frozen on its spot, which seemed to surprise the Snow Werewolf too, but it didn't delay its response. Despite that, it was slow. Puch! I appeared in front of its chest and pierced my spear into its chest before sending a burst of energy. Freezing it before its sword was about to hit me. If I had fought against these Grimms against this Snow Werewolf, before Rhinoman, it would have been challenging to kill it, but now it was not. After getting its essence, I would become even stronger. "Goodbye," I said and pulled into my core before they appeared in front of the Snakeman, who was looking at me in terror. I didn't say anything to it and just touched it, pulling it into my core. As I took the two Grimms into my core, I moved. I didn't want to be here, in case the Sky Sovereign or its soul sense came back and found the Grimms gone. As I am moving, I am dealing with injuries, which are tricky. The bastard wasn't weak; its energies weren't something I could remove within seconds. I had activated a couple of formations, which are sending tides of energies at it, whittling away the power of Grimm. Buzz! Soon, the strengthening energy came, and the process became even faster. Though I am more focused on the Growth energy; this time, I didn't restrict it and let it flow over the plants. Though not all got it; I had excluded the guzzling plants. They tend to pull more growth energy, if there is a free flow and I don't want that. They had their turn to enjoy the growth of energy and now it is the little ones' turn. A few minutes passed and a huge number of trees made a massive growth, but they were far from reaching the stage, I wanted them to be. I want them on Earth-Sovereign and it will need a lot of Grimms for that. It would be easier if there had been one continent worth of plants, but now, there are continents, both of which are filled with plants. I pulled my focus out of the core and resumed my journey. I am really close to my first destination; it won't take over three hours for me to reach it. Two and a half hours passed, and I have reached the destination. "It is bigger than I thought," I said as I looked at the massive thing in front of me. It is massive, but also dangerous. Now, I am going to take a huge risk to get the thing I want from it. I found a safe spot, which was near this huge lake. In a conventional sense, the lake is big enough to make even Primary-I impress, but the impressive thing about it isn't the size of the lake, but the thing it contains. Corruption. It is filed with it and so are the resources. There are a lot of resources, including the stainless lotus; the kind I don't have. Though resources may seem to be floating there, not even Sky Sovereigns would dare to directly go at it; there are monsters in the lake, powerful enough to pose danger to even Peak Sky-Sovereign. It is not like I am not interested in those resources, I am, but I am not idiot enough to go after them. I am more interested in the corruption that the lake is filled with. I do not want the corrupted water; I have enough of it. I want the real thing, the crystals at the bottom. Taking them out of the lake is going to be a real challenge.
