There is someone outside. An Earth Sovereign, she seemed to be looking around, with disappointment on her face.
I sent another stream of the forbidden power into it, but this time, I didn't break the flow and continued supplying the energy for the constant footage.
If it had been a Sky Sovereign, I would have been cautious, but I do not need to be with the Sky Sovereigns. They will not discover, the tool or how it is scanning them with the forbidden power.
It is even hard for the Sky Sovereign to discover, but I am being cautious against them.
A few minutes passed, and she kept looking. I was debating whether or not I should sit down when she walked inside one of the rooms broken by the Sky Sovereigns.
Click!
I waited for a couple of seconds before quickly opening the door and coming out. It is a risk, but I am not willing to waste a lot of time waiting for her to leave the floor. That might take a lot of time.
As I came out, I heaved a sigh of relief when I saw her soul sense wasn't covering the area.
Most do not spread out their soul sense too much. It is risky.
While soul sense might help you discover others, it will also help others to discover you and in places like these where there are people who could kill you within a since the attack, they do not spread soul sense-wise as they usually do.
Not all people have forbidden power like me, which helped their soul sense to hide better.
There are more doors, but I didn't open any of them. I had only opened three doors on each floor; I had done it to mitigate the risks.
Staying long on each floor would be risky, but most importantly, I wanted to have variety. The information clearly stated, that each floor keeps a certain type of things; like this floor had kept the tools.
I have few uses for it, but I would have preferred if I had got something else, more useful than the tools.
So, if I had asked my clones to break all the doors of this floor, it would have been quite wasteful. It is much more efficient to have three doors on each floor. If I find something useful on any floor, I could always ask my clone to break them.

The Sky Sovereign is still there, looking at the door in full concentration. I didn't disturb him and walked as far as away from him, before stopping in front of the broken door and walking inside, after looking at it for more than a minute.
I need to play the part.
The Sky Sovereign might seem like in complete focus, but every few seconds, he would send a wave of soul sense across the floor.
I am relieved that he didn't send it down the floor below; he might since, I had been here less than two minutes. So, I kept my soul sense active as I passed the time in the empty room, which had been picked clean by the Sky Sovereigns.
I came out, taking the same to explore, which took me to clean, three rooms above, before looking around and entering another room and then I did it with another.
I then explored the floor for a few minutes, before entering the floor below.
There is no one in here. There was an Earth Sovereign, till a few minutes ago, but he had left, and I had wasted no time in appearing beside the door before placing my palm above it.
Buzz!
The runes came out, and a couple of seconds later. It buzzed immediately, I opened the door and walked inside.
I looked at the hall, and my eyes began to shine; everywhere I looked, I ores. Every size and shape, from small as fingernails to big as the boulders, all of them are here and it couldn't help, but make me excited.
Hun!
It took a few seconds for me to realize. They are aniate ores and they are unprocessed. Aniate is a group of metals. They are rare and useful.
It will be a task to refine them, but I am not worried about it. I am happy that, I have got them in a huge amount.
I began to pick them up from the shelves, till only six of them had remained. they are protected in the formation. While I could solve formations, I am not going to.
My clones are already busy in breaking other formations and the value of these six is far less than a whole room and that takes priority.
Once I was done, I sent the stream of forbidden energy into the tool. There was nothing out, not a person or the soul sense. Seeing that, I didn't waste any time and got out of the room.
Click!
Immediately, I appeared in front of the second door and opened it, before entering inside.
As I had expected, this door is also filled with ores of different categories of metals, and I swipe it all away. In just minutes, I took everything in my storage, except for the sixteen things that are protected.
I looked at the one longingly. I really needed that one; it would have helped me tremendously.
I recorded the formation. If my clones are finished with their tasks, then I am going to try for it, is valuable enough to try but not enough to forgo the rooms.
I looked at it, one last time before walking toward the door.
Click!
Once again, I used the forbidden power, and seeing there was no-one on the floor; I opened the door and walked out.
Hun!
I took a step out, when suddenly; I saw the woman coming down the stairs, watching me, coming out of the door with wide eyes.
'Fuck!' I cursed at my heart, but behaved like, nothing happened.
"You can open the doors," said the stone-skinned woman as she stopped in front of me. "I had something one use; I used it, to open the door," I replied smoothly.
"Good. Then give me half of it," she said, with a nasty grin appearing on her face.
"Are you joking?" I asked the greedy little bitch. "I am not asking all of it. I am asking only half of what you had gotten in front of the room. I am sure you had got more from the other rooms." She said with a greedy light shining from her eyes.
"No," I said and walked away, but she appeared in front of me, with her aura of Peak Earth Sovereign pressing down on me.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"You don't want to fight me," she threatened, while I grinned. "You are not that powerful," I said and her face stiffened for a moment before even a nasty grin appeared on her face.
"I may not, but I will tell that Sky Sovereign above, and I am sure he will be very interested in what you have," she said, and it was clear by her expressions, that she would really do it.
Burst 100%.
"You shouldn't have threatened me," I said, and the full power of the burst entered my veins, at the same time, the rubies, which had been hiding also activated, creating an isolation domain.
My sword appeared in my hand and swung it at her.
She reacted fast, with her full power bursting out in an instant. Seeing how quickly she reacted, she had been preparing for this.
CLANNNG!
My sword clashed against her flaming bone spear and immediately her eyes widened, with blood coming out of her lips, eyes, and ears, while she started to take a step back rapidly.
It was the first time; I had used my full power since coming to this place and the woman was able to take it.
She might be a greedy bitch, but she had the power to do it and I am sure, by her response, that she might have looted many people.
"You will pay for this," she threatened as I appeared in front of her. "No, you will," I replied and swung my sword again.
CLANNNG CLANNNG CLANNNG!
She was able to move her spear in front of her on time and defended against my attack before I launched another one immediately.
Not giving her a chance to get stabilized.
I kept launching attack after attack, without giving her the slightest chance to relax.I need to deal with it as soon as possible before the Sky Sovereign or anyone senses the conflict.
Thankfully, my rubies are doing a good enough job containing the energies of the battle and would be able to fool even the soul sense of the Earth Sovereign, but wouldn't be able to fool Sky Sovereign.
I need to finish her off before that because she is right. Once Sky Sovereign knows I have entered the room, they will not let me leave in peace.
