Chapter 2277 - Two Days

A day had passed since I had taken command over the Argan Fortress, but there were barely any movements from the Grimms.

I had just spoken to the two commanders of the adjacent fortresses and exchanged intel with them, which is quite surprised them seeing how to detail it is. It does not only include the position of Grimm scouts but also traps and other things around their forts. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ɴovel(F)ɪre

Silence from the Grimms is not uncommon. One of the forts had just fought one and half days ago, and the other plans to fight tomorrow if no Grimms attack comes. So, even if I wanted to launch the attack, I would have to wait for two days.

According to understanding between two fortresses, only one fort would attack the Grimms, while two would be ready to provide reinforcement or deal with other mischiefs of the Grimms.

So, I really hope one of Grimm Fortress launch attacks on me; I really want to test the advancement I had just got.

Another day passed by, and I sat by the window looking outside. While I may be looking outside but most of my focus is inside my core, where I am researching several topics.

Now and then, I would turn back at Masters to discuss a few things and look at the area where Nero is scouting before bringing my focus back to my core.

Ever since I became Grandmaster, it had become quite easy for me to do the research. Except for when I am battling and practicing, I am always doing one thing or another in my core through my avatar.

In the whole say, I had come to this fortress; my avatar was working non-stop.

There is another thing I am constantly doing, charging the spatial artifact. I had weaved a special formation in my Inheritance, which is nothing but a glorified charging station but just as important as seven plated quern.

On the pick circular charging station, there is a silvery feather floating, which is constantly sucking up spatial energies provided by the charging station.

I have reserved 25% of energy in charging this artifact always; every speck of rule-bending power above 75% went directly to this feather which is solely responsible for the ease with which I could capture and harvest the Grandmaster in my core.

My core is quite powerful, and I could keep a Grimm Grandmaster for a second to a minute depending on its power, but nevertheless, it is very straining for my core, and there is always a chance that it could breathe through the restrictions and wreak havoc in my core.

This feather dispelled nearly all the problems by creating a separate semi-spatial zone around a small space in my core and helped me bind the enemy with spatial forces, which instantly elevated all the strain on my core and helped me focus on other things.

It could be said without it, I wouldn't be so maverick about capturing the Grandmaster in my core.

While it makes it easy to capture a Grimms in my core, it also came with its problem, and the greatest is the insatiable appetite that I was never able to charge it fully.

Even during my stay in the pyramid, where I charged it with 50% of my rule-bending power conver spatial energy, I was only able to change it to the second level, barely and there are nine levels in this artifact, with each level requiring more energy to charge than previous.

It has nine levels from what I have been able to find out recently, and it is hard to imagine whether I would be even able to charge it fully in my lifetime.

Though one thing is clear, if I charge it with enough power, it would even be able to cage even Grand Lords, and I don't think I would charge it to a high level for that.

I shook my head at those thoughts and looked at the feather, which looked like a feather and likely a feather of some bird that had been forged into this artifact and enchantment made of ancient runes.

These runes became visible when this artifact activates, and for some time, I have been trying to study them to increase my understanding of regular spatial runes, and I have to say, my comprehension is increasing.

I do not understand the ancient runes, but like regular runes, each rune had an aura, and feeling and comprehending, I can faintly peek into its mystery.

Currently, my target is to charge it to the third level as soon as possible, and for that, I will need massive spatial energy, and with the constant conflict, it seemed like it might take some time, but it did not matter.

Charging it to level three will give me freedom; I would not have to worry about a powerhouse that I could not contain inside. As long as I can capture it with my strings, I will be able to contain it.

I worked on my ruin for a couple of hours before changing back to research on the different things I have.

There are a couple of amazing and interesting things I have found in the Grandmasters storage. One of which had again made me research a topic which I had dreamed about quite long ago but left due to a couple of reasons.

Now, I am giving some of my time to that thing. As if I am successful, I will have a very precious thing that will help me immensely in my practice, and other powerhouses would beg for it if they know I have it.

That is things of the future. I should focus on the things that could help me in immediate terms.

I researched for a few hours before I focused on the crystal roses.. I had used nearly all my stock of Tyrant stage essence roses of all classes and now focused on crafting Emperor class essence roses, hundreds at once.
