“Zaar,” said the Gemmed Eyed Antman in shock and horror, “Oh, you have noticed,” I said with a smile. Of course, it would; I am the only one who could do it.

I knew it was hiding since, in the beginning, Ashlyn had shown me, and as well as Foxman, it is all been a trap, the human on fire and it is eating them to attract the humans.

Even if I hadn’t come, some others would have, some had come hearing the sounds of battle, but I had sent them away. I had everything in control; my strings had everything in control, which I have used not only on the Gemmed-Eyed Antman but also Foxman.

I just did not use them till the Antman showed up; I would have really liked it if it had shown a few minutes earlier, but it showed too late, and I had shown my cards, which would have made it fight guarded, which is not as fun as fighting a confident Grimm.

“Now, it is time for you to go to the place where you will suffer the greatest pain of your life,” I said as I turned to Foxman, who remained frozen on the ground.

It tried to open its mouth, but before a single word could come out, it disappeared, and with it, the Gemmed Eyed Antman. It would have been great if the Gemmed-Eyed Antman also had a bloodline. It would have helped produce a lot of growth energy, but unfortunately, it could not.

There is also a minute chance it will awaken its bloodline, especially with the stage it has reached; the chances of that are less than one percent, but I always wish it to happen whenever I take Grimm as powerful as it inside my core.

I am very excited right now; for the first time, I have taken a Grimm Grandmaster with a core inside to harvest, which is a big thing.

I know how powerful these bloodline cores are; they are immensely powerful, containing so much bloodline energy that there is a faint doubt in my heart whether my core would be able to refine it all or not; it is not the only fear; there is another one, the most dangerous.

I fear that its bloodline might end up summoning the source; the Grimm’s bloodlines do that when they are in extreme danger.

Those without core are not powerful enough to do that, but those with core are, and I hope the hidden being take care of it, as it did with most things, because if not, then it will be difficult for me to come out with my life in my hand.

Seconds passed, and the runes spread around the two Grimms; they tried to resist, but it was all futile; they were not able to stop the runes even for a second as they covered their every inch.

Buzz!

It only took twenty-seven seconds for to runes to cover every inch of it, and the moment it finished, the runes buzzed as they lit up and harvested begin.

The essence energies of Gemmed Eyed Antman begin to gather at the center where the essence rose will form while a similar thing is also happening to the Foxman, but there is also another thing happening to it, the most important thing.

“My god,”

I said with eyes wide; the bloodline essence that came at me was something I had never seen before; I have harnessed thousands of Grimms but never have gotten to see bloodline essence such as this.

It is completely truly crystalline; there are no crystals floating in a stream of bloodline essence because it is completely crystalline, and it is melted.

Even a person who did not know anything about the bloodlines would now be able to tell it being its most high-level if I placed it among all the bloodlines I had ever consumed.

Seeing it, I couldn’t help but curse myself because I am at a limit; I could not consume a bloodline; my share would go to the mysterious tree, which would transform into growth energy. I am feeling very jealous, right, jealous of tree, even Ashlyn and Nero, who will be able to enjoy this energy as they enter back into the core.

I am glad that runes are handling everything well; they have suppressed the bloodline so well that I don’t think they will be able to summon the source.

Seeing that, I felt like a huge load lifted off my shoulders; as I had said, it would have been my end if that had happened.

I kept watching for nearly a minute before I opened my eyes; there was a huge amount of bloodline essence, and it would take time for it all to be harnessed.

I am going to be doing some chores while that happens.

I looked around, and soon, I saw what I was looking for; I appeared beside it and lifted the birdcage up. The Foxman had two birds in its birdcage, I thought for a second before opening its door, and just as I did, the two mechanical birds flapped their wings and moved to flew away.

They moved with such speed that even those who were aware of their abilities would catch off guard and might end up losing them.

Thankfully, I had been prepared; the birds flew out fast but immediately caught into the invisible prison of my strings. I brought my own birdcage forward and opened its door; unlike the birds in Foxman’s birdcage, mine did not try to fly away.

I don’t know the exact reason, but maybe it is because I am alike, and Foxman is dead. It is alive, but I don’t think this place, despite all its power, could sense it inside my core.

With the two birds, I now have seven birds which are two more than the required five.

It took me a few seconds to find to find the birdcage of the Gemmed Eyed Antman because it could not be sensed with the soul sense. It also had the two birds inside, which I had quickly transferred to my own birdcage, bringing the number of birds to nine.

Half a day had not passed, and I had already collected nearly double the number of birds required to pass the challenge, and there were still a few more days before the end of this challenge.

I am sure I will be able to collect a few more birds, and the cage already seems full, but I did not stress about it; I am sure there will be a way to take more birds.

I am more excited about the Grimms, especially those with bloodline; I am seeing the level of bloodline essence they are giving me, and now, I want to hunt all that who had come here.

Seeing there was still little time for the bloodline to be completely harnessed, I hopped on the stump where Grimm was sitting and laid down with my eyes closed. I do not need to be worried about the enemies; Ashlyn Nero will deal with them like they did when I was fighting earlier.
