Chapter 2528 Under The Lake

Chapter 2528 Under The Lake　　”Its really beautiful,” I said as I looked at the crystalline lake below me. The Grimms had said the turquoise lake is the most beautiful lake in the clear lakes region, but I did not believe it, considering that nearly all the lakes in this region are beautiful, but it is several levels above it. 

It is a completely turquoise color, and the water shimmer like a crystal which shouldn’t be surprising considering the energy density here.

The energy density here is at least fifty times higher than that of the central continent; regular people wouldn’t be able to stay here. Only the emperor’s stage and above them would be able to survive here in this place.

This energy is very gentle, just like water, whose element it possesses. If it had slightly harsher qualities, then even elite Tyrants would have found it hard to live in such energy for longer, much less the lower level powerhouses.

The lake is huge; even thousands of humans and a few Grimms on it looked like a speck of dust from above. 

The whole lake is a treasure trove; no, it would be wrong to say that. I should be saying, the whole ruin is a treasure trove, its grades above what we designated it, and, most amazingly, it is not just a look and discards ruin but a farm ruin.

As long one carefully manages it, like the Grimms are doing, then one would have a constant supply of elemental water resources.

The information says the Grimms have huge numbers of far type ruins; they have a huge population of the powerhouses, and they need a colossal amount of resources constantly, and those could be managed by having constant and stable supply chains of resources.

Thankfully, the message I had sent would be enough for the Pyramid to send the force here. I would really like it if we were able to get our hands on this ruin; it is really precious.

”All right, let’s find where that bastard is,” I said to Nero and Ashlyn, who had turned back to a smaller size.

”Don’t worry, father, I will find it in a jiffy,” said Nero excitedly and dived down fast as he became invisible while Ashlyn followed behind. There are no emotions in her eyes; like always, she is cool and composed, like nothing could affect her.

I also dived down behind them.

The lake is huge, and there are many structures on it and around it, and even under it. While Nero and Ashlyn searched above the lake, I went below it; the small structure I sensed below the lake had made me quite curious.

Dip!

I bore down on the lake without making any loud noise and soon.

I began to swim down, and as I did, I began to notice the energy purity of elemental water energy was rapidly increasing; before I knew it, it had reached sixty times of the central continent and continually increasing.

Hun!

A few more minutes passed, and I have finally seen the structure underground, and I couldn’t help but surprise. 

It seemed like an open temple; there was a huge circular disc on the ground, bigger than that of the arena, and on it one and a hundred eighty-one pillars with no roof above them.

The whole structure is carved with dark blue runes, from disk to pillars. These runes looked like streams of water that formed a lake at the center; that is where the Grimm I have been searching for is sitting in meditating position.

There are also other Grimm Monsters; some are patrolling around the structure while some others are meditating like Grimm Monsters.

Though I did not see the other Grimm that was supposed to be here, the initial Grandmaster. It did not matter; I had found what I was looking for, and now, I couldn’t wait to hunt down this bastard and harvest its bloodline.

I did not immediately go down toward it immediately, and instead, nine pink-white balls appeared in my hand, and I threw them down.

Some of these moved past and landed near the Grimms patrolling, but not a single one of them was able to notice them. Not even when they had activated and formed a layer of energy that surrounded the whole structure.

These balls wouldn’t do anything other than block communication; I did not want my fight to get disturbed by anything, especially a High Grandmaster. They are the only ones in this ruin that have the power to stop me.

Thud!

With that done, I did not waste any time and moved toward the temple and a minute later landed on its floor with noise, where the energy purity had reached a hundred times that of the central continent in an instant.

”Human!”

I did not hide as I landed, and thus eyes of every Grimm Monster landed on me except for the Blue Water Apeman, who still had its eyes closed.

I looked at the Grimm Monsters with a smile hanging on my face, half of them opened their mouth and moved their legs, but a moment later stopped and just looked at me angrily while bringing out their weapons and releasing their auras.

Which is, of course, is futile; I have a power of a Grandmaster while these are just Master and below. If I wished to, I could kill them in an instant with a single attack but instead focused on the Blue Water Apeman, who had yet to open its eyes.

It took him twenty-three seconds to open its eyes, and it did very slowly as if it was meeting a friend and not a mortal enemy.

”You have found yourself quite a nifty place, kagha,” I said to it. This Apeman is quite famous, we have a huge binder worth of information on it. It was very active in the precious war and had killed armies of humans and also many of our Grandmaster.

”So, you humans came,” It said and got up. “I had thought, given the situation in the war, you would not have the manpower to come here, but it seemed like I had been wrong.

”It is good you have come; you will be great to relieve the boredom I am feeling,” It added languidly without any hurry.

”You are not wrong; we are really short on manpower considering how you bastards are popping out Grandmasters like they are eggs,” I complained, which had brought a smile to its face, “And what’s up with Golden Fire Werewolves, those bastards are everywhere?” I asked.

The languid smile on its face stiffened up hearing that, and I could see the flash of anger appearing in its eyes for a moment before it had disappeared. 

”You have made the biggest mistake of your life coming here, human; this is my domain, and you are now a prisoner which I am going to enjoy very much,” It declared grandly and with hands; to drive the point, it had to manipulate the water around the structure to create a dome enveloping it.

”Nice elemental control,” I replied, unfazed, which seemed to irk it but quickly smoothen its expressions and summoned out its weapon, a grey trident made of stone.

”I do not like to fight the unnamed enemy; tell me your name, human?” It asked, to which a bright smile appeared on my face.

”You will know it soon enough,” I said with a toothy killing smile and moved toward it.
