Chapter 2301 - [Bonus Chapter] Traitors

The great change is not only happening to me but also inside my core, where the plants are growing at a pace that has shocked the hell out of me.

They are growing very fast, so fast that for a moment, I thought the time I am fast-forwarding a movie at ten-time speed than watching the real things growing.

Everything is growing fast, the planted resources, the essence tree, and even mysterious trees. There is not a single plant in my core that is not growing at astonishing speed.

I was watching the growth of the plant when one thing caught my attention; the essence tree, big changes begin to occur inside it. The tree is becoming bigger, but most importantly, the aura of some fruits has begun changing.

They are transitioning into the Grandmaster class from the Master class, and doing that, they take an immense amount of growth energy. The essence tree has begun taking around 50% of all the growth energy that is being released from the mysterious tree.

It had never done that before; it would always take whatever the Mysterious tree is providing it, but this time, it is taking half of the energies on its own, and the mysterious tree did not seem to have a problem with it.

From what I had noticed, the mysterious tree provides a fixed amount of growth energy to every tree, and when a tree tried to take it more, it stopped it firmly, but it is not doing that right now.

I don't understand why this is happening, but I am happy it is happening; some of the fruits are reaching a Grandmaster class. The level I required before I pluck them, these fruits would help me and others extremly.

The fruits of the essence tree are called the blessing of the world for nothing; their value is immense.

About two minutes have passed, and all the growth energy has disappeared; with such huge growth energy, all the plants have produced Grandmaster class resources in huge amounts, but most precious are six Grandmaster class essence fruits.

These six fruits looked different from each other and had different types of aura. Their smell is so desirable that I just wanted to pluck them and eat them, but I controlled myself. These fruits could be eaten in any way, but if I eat them directly, I would not be able to get their maximum benefits.

I need to use them in a certain way and not a single one either before I could benefit from them. As the constitution I have is not a metallic one, and I do not need that element either, I have to process it out, which would not be an easy thing to do.

"Of the six fruits, only two are mine while the other four belong to others. I couldn't help but imagine how shocked those people are going to be when I revealed these fruits, as it had not been a year since I had found the essence tree.

They had been expecting a decade of wait for these fruits in a best-case scenario, but they will get them in a year.

After looking at metal essence fruits carefully, I looked at the mysterious tree, which now had become big enough to be called a shade tree, and I do not think it would stop growing; this tree is going to grow beyond my imagination.

There are also a couple of resources that have made me happy; aralas grapes are one of them; very soon, they are going to be more used than they already are, and I am happy that Ive got a great harvest of Grandmaster class grapes already.

I was looking at these wonderful resources when I felt a presence coming toward me; sensing that smile couldn't help but appear on my face.

My eyes turned normal, and I saw Jameson coming toward me; looking at his expression, he seemed quite hurried.

"My lords," He said and bowed slightly as he appeared in front of us. "Jameson," I said; he is the new Master class powerhouse I have got. He advanced to Master class about two weeks ago; his addition had been very helpful in the battle.

"My Lords, I have extremly important news to inform you," He said hurriedly, and expressions of both Grandmasters beside me have changed. Anything new on the battlefield is dangerous, and hearing, both of the Grandmasters, have become extremly alert.

"What is it?" I asked with a tone of urgency.

As I had asked it, his face hurriedly face had morphed into a vicious smile, and a horrifying aura erupted from its body; the aura was so powerful that it froze two Grandmasters beside me for a moment.

"I wanted to tell you that all three of you, along with your armies, are going to die.'

"I am going to purify the sins you have committed to killing the members of a holy race," He proclaimed loudly that the whole army could hear it, and the aura coming from it became even more dangerous than even I felt scared of it.

'Micheal, run!' Shouted Grandmaster Oak and Grandmaster Tantra as they appeared in front of me and instantly activated their defensive abilities at full power.

Seeing them appearing in front of me, I couldn't help but get emotional. They took only instant to sacrifice their lives to save me.

"Since when do the Grandmasters need to fear a puny Master," I said, and suddenly thousands of pink runes came out of the body of Jameson and spread around, forming a runic rope that covered his whole body and sealed all of the horrifying aura coming out of it.

"This!" said Grandmaster Oak in shock, seeing the horrifying aura getting sealed within a second.

"The Grimms are underestimating too much; to think they will send puny Master to kill us," I said, shaking my head in disappointment as I had appeared in front of Jameson.

I had discovered the alchemical bomb inside him weeks ago, and I have to say, it is hidden with great method. Even my seeds were not able to discover it; I was only able to discover it when it had made a breakthrough into the Master.

I had kept the seed inside him, so I could help him if something went wrong with his breakthrough but ended up discovering a traitor with an extremly powerful alchemical bomb deeply hidden inside him.

The bomb is powerful to kill us all if we have caught off guard.

I looked at the binding runes at Jameson before I turned toward a group of elites belonging to Grandmistress Tantra. 

"You should come too, Miss. Mara, there is no need for you to hide," I said and becked her; with my motion, pink runes began to cover her as she flew toward us.

"Gra…Grandmaster Zaar, what is the meaning of it?" She asked stutteringly with eyes filled with fear, which is genuine. She does not know she is a traitor; these cases are most hard to deal with; it is my first time coming across it.

After I found Grimm alchemical bomb in Jameson, I used that data and scanned all the Tyrants thoroughly; not only of my fort but also of the other two forts, and to my surprise, I found a lower level Alchemical bomb in Mara.
