Chapter 2361 First Kill
Puchi!
Its sword, which was about to cut me into two, froze away; its body, its eyes are fine, as one could see shock appearing in its eyes and it quickly reacting to move away but unfortunately, it is too late as my sword pierced through the chest of the Sharkman.
Instantly destroying its heart and killing it, or at least it looked that way as I stored its body up in my core and looked at the shocked Houndsman.
"It is now your turn!"
I said to the Houndman and moved to attack it; it reacted immediately and dodged the attack instead of countering it. What happened had just now scared it and also made it quite confused about how it had happened.
To be honest, I could have killed two of them instantly and would not even have to lift my finger to do that, seeing I have both of them bound in my strings, but I did not do that. I need it to be alive, at least till my core finished up harvesting the Sharkman and get me the boost from its bloodline.
As I had captured the Sharkman, its domain has begun unraveling; this change has already been noticed by every Grandmaster.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOne of the peak Grandmasters is even trying to come here but is held off by Grandmaster Atkins. I have already informed her the moment I finish with the seeds, I hope she will be able to keep those peak bastards at bay.
"Why are you running away? Where is the confidence you have shown earlier?" I asked as I continued to attack the Houndman, who was dodging my attacks and only defending when it wasn't able to dodge.
"Hump!"
My words seemed to have hit it hard as it harrumphed and stopped dodging the attack, and began to fight me in earnest, with attacks filled with more power than before.

Suddenly, it let loose and began to attack me with all its strength; within a few seconds, I began to feel the strain. If it had revealed this power when the Sharkman was still out, I would have had no choice but to reveal my original combat style and even burn a tiny bit of blood for extra power.
"I don't know how you stopped tystr sword, but you will not be able to do that with me," It said as it pressed me further.
While it is fighting me wildly, it is also being a lot more careful. If I stop its one hand, it will be ready to act with another; it would never itself fall into that trap again.
Its offense is straining, but I am lost less pressure than I was when I was dealing with the two of them together.
I would just have to bear it for a minute or two before I harvest and digest all the bloodline essence before I finish it as that is when the real danger would begin as these two are were not the only Grimms I would kill, there are a lot more of them.
Around forty seconds passed since I had made Grimm disappear when the harvest began; inside me, the Grimm was screaming, but I took no joy in it. It deserves to die, and I am killing it in the most painful way possible.
Seconds passed as more and more purified bloodline essence gets harvested and spread among many stakeholders.
Buzz!
It took forty-five seconds, around two and half minutes inside, to completely harvest the bloodline essence of the Grimm Monster before finally, the strengthening energy began to release; at the same time, the mysterious tree released the growth energy. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ɴo(v)elFɪre.net
I have used quite a lot of resources in my core, and I feared I might use them all before I could replenish them but now, I do not have that worry.
I could see the resources are maturing rapidly, and this is not the only growth energy they will receive. I have another two targets decided, and if I get them, then I will have more resources than have an idea of what to do with them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThough I am very much looking forward to the strength, I will gain from it. I will need it, seeing I will become one of the biggest targets for the Grimms from today.
It took about three minutes for all strengthening energy to absorb, though it did not help my injuries. I have stopped it from healing my injuries, as I do not want to waste even a drop of strengthening energy.
The injuries are in control, and with my strength increased, they have begun healing even faster; in that, I begin my real plan.
"Stop,"
I said suddenly, and to the utter shock of Houndman, it had stopped; even its half scoffing expressions have frozen away. Even in shock, a flash of recognization flashed in its eyes, seeing the way I froze it.
"It is time for the reveal," I said and instantly made it unconscious. The moment I did, its domain began to break away, and within a few seconds, we have returned for all to see, and they couldn't be a surprise, especially seeing the unconscious Grimm Monsters floating beside me.
"Come,"
I looked at all those watching before uttering the word, and just as I said it, the six Grimm Monsters stopped fighting. Three initial Grandmasters and three mid-Grandmaters stopped and came flying toward me with great alarm flashing in their eyes.
They tried to struggle to resist, but they could not.
The initial Grandmasters were already in my hand from day one; I had to work hard to get the Mid-Grandmasters. It was quite a work; I had tailer the seeds to them, from their aura and energy I had collected by fighting them.
This is why I had simply couldn't place the seed inside the Sharkman and Houndman; the fight would have been much easier if I had been able to do that.
