<h4>Chapter 2566: Collecting</h4>


    In A VERY SECRET PLACE


    "We have suffered disastrous losses in Navar ruin; I still think we should send out a stronger force and wipe those bastards out," said the Crockman with a shiny scales.


    "We have discussed it before; we will not take any action. We have a more important thing to focus on," said the old Werewolf softly, but it had made Crockman shudder in fear.


    A year ago, a simple gaze from the old Werewolf wouldn''t have elicited such reactions; they were equal, but now not so more, and with time, the difference among them will grow so big that he wouldn''t be even able to ask questions.


    It is not just it, but everyone and Grimms do not take such things lightly and would have taken down old Werewolf like they did with some of their past leaders, who have be too authoritative, but that is not an option this time.


    "Instead of focusing on small things, we should worry about bigger things; I hope no mistake should ur during the n, or they will pay the price," said the old Werewolf, directly threatening them.


    "Don''t worry, we will execute everything ording to n," Foxwomen replied. "I hope so; if we seed, the humans will empty ruin on their own, or we will just send a big party and wipe them all out," old Werewolf said, while the rest of Grimms nodded with cruel smiles on their faces.


    "This ce is worth a fortune, Lady Atkins, and only you have a key to it," Rai as he looked at the crystals in the cavern before looking at the crystal disk.


    "And this disk is the biggest treasure," I added and appeared beside the disk, surprising Lady Atkins while making a Rai curious.


    "What is it?" He asked, looking at the disk carefully. I did not answer the question but instead turned to Lady Atkins.


    "It is a disk that produces the everessence of the water element," Lady Atkins replied, shocking Rai greatly before he sighed with reminiscence.


    "I had found the everessence of the fire element in my youth; it is a thing that gave me the mostprehensive breakthrough into the Tyrant ss," he said with a sigh.


    I wanted to point out that he is still young mentally. The one hundred and twenty years he had spent in the hall of sleep did not age him mentally. He also not much aged physically; the mutation had not only made him stronger but is also aging him slower.


    Hearing that, I couldn''t help but be jealous; both he and Lady Atkins had used the wonderful resource, and the only one who did not is only me.


    "Have you collected some, Lady Atkins? I am sure the Pyramid would want a sample of it?" I asked, even though I knew the answer already.


    "No, the disk only activates when a person sits on it, and the everessence directly enters the body," she replied with a sad sigh.


    "It did not matter, since we have found the source of everessence, we could always bring the people here; it would not be much trouble given the importance of the resource," said Rai.


    "You are right, but there is another option too," I said, and a pink-ck seed appeared in my hand, and I threw it toward the disk.


    It flew over the disk before runes began toe out of it and, within a minute, transformed into a runic humanoid phantom that looked like me.


    Buzz!


    As it sat down on the disk, the disc activated on its own, and the next second, the everessence began toe out. The everessence is like a pure white smoke, and it entered inside the fountain, and it is not the only thing that entered.


    The formation had also sent a type of artificial soul sense; its purpose is to direct the ever-essence properly through the body, but also to investigate, and I have no doubt, once it had found it, it is not a body. It will stop the ever essence froming.


    I am not worried, it is a perfect copy of mine, and unless that artificial soul sense bes at leave seven times stronger and its patterns be even moreplicated, it will not be able to find anything wrong with the phantom.


    While Rai and Lady Atkins watched in shock, I tapped my fingers, and runes lit up; as it did, more and more everessence begin toe out till it reached the limit.


    It could increse further if I increse the level of the phantom, which is in the High Grandmaster ss, but that will create its own sets of problems, and I am not ready to deal with that yet.


    I looked at the phantom for a moment before thew a ss bottle; the ss bottle flew and went inside the phantom before stopping at the middle of its chest. The runes of phantom quickly covered the bottle, and soon, the smoky drops of the ever essence began to appear in it.


    "Grandmaster Atkins, have you explored this ce full?" I asked to her shocked face, which was still staring at the phantom.


    "No, I did not get much of a chance after I stepped into the disc," she replied after a moment of silence. "We should take a look then; who knows what else there might be here in this ce," I said, and I am feeling quite excited about it.


    The disk is clearly made by someone since an amazing thing like that is present here, something else might too, and we really need the things like that.


    All three of us begin to walk deeper toward the huge cavern, stepping on the precious water elemental crystals that are everywhere.


    I am very d the Grimms did not find this ce; with these crystals and the everessence, they would have created lines of water elemental powerhouses like the ck Sharkman Fasra. One of which is already difficult to deal with, and having ten to deal with would have been simply disastrous.


    "A nt," saiddy Atkins, as we saw the first nt in this ce.


    It is a nt of simple grass, but when we appear beside it, it is clear that it is not a simple ss. I broke a single de of it and chewed it; just as I did, the pure elemental water essence with a hint of herbal energy spread inside my body, making me feel cool and refreshed.


    "With how thick the energy here, even themon nt would be treasure here," Rai said after chewing the de of grass. "I will ask Pyramid to send a garden here. If we are able to grow some specialized nts here, it will benefit us tremendously," he added, and I couldn''t help but nod.


    We walked slowly,ing across nts now and then. Most of them are grass, but there are some flowers and roots which have an even better effect than the grass.


    Hun!


    Half an hour passed by when we suddenly stopped as we appeared across the huge open space; it is hugely different than the rest of the cavern, quite colorful actually.


    "This," said Lady Atkins, being stumped for her words, and she is not the only one; I am also quite stumped seeing the things in front of me. I shouldn''t be surprised, considering it is not just water elemental energy that fountain is spewing.


    There are other elemental energies as well, though in much minor percentage.
