Nine people appeared in front of me, one after another, belonging to different races.
All of them are at either High-Primary III or Peak Primary III.
They all belong to the same team. The badge of their mercenary company is visible on their clothes.
"Have you seen the corrupted?" asked the leader, with a small silverly stumped horn on his head.
"No, but it is what brought me out of my abode; I had sensed its aura not long ago," I replied, without a hint of guilt in my eyes.
The leader stared at me for a couple of seconds, saying nothing, before turning to people.
"Search around, with its injuries. It shouldn't have run far," he commanded; they acknowledged and disappeared, while the leader turned back to me.
"Are you sure you have not seen it? You know there is a huge bounty on it. If you tell us, we will share some with you," he said, and my eyes hardened.
"If I had seen it. It would have been my hands and that bounty would have been mine also," I replied, and looked directly into its eyes.
A frown appeared on his face, but he said nothing, instead moved away and begin to scan the area with his method.
I watched him without saying anything before suddenly a frown appeared on my face.
My core had started to shake.
'Fuck!' I cursed inside while smoothing my expression. My core had started to reject it and I could not bring it out in front of these people. They are not the only ones here, tense of others is spying through their soul sense.
A few seconds passed, and his men returned one after another.
"Anything?" he asked, but they all shook its head. "It disappeared again boss," replied a beastwomen.
"Don't worry, it will not be gone far. We have injured it pretty seriously, we will find it," said the leader and gave me one last look before disappearing.
I watched them leave, before turning and walking toward my abode.
I wanted to run toward it, but I did not instead, I walked slowly, and a minute later; I reached my abode and went inside.
One of the bastards had gone inside my abode to search for the corrupted. He had a good stealth method, but not good enough that I would not sense it coming inside my abode.
Thud!
The moment I entered inside, I brought it out. Heaving a sigh of relief.
My core was shaking like crazy. If I did not bring it, I would have broken my core apart. Something that would have destroyed my future.
I looked at the corrupted on the med bed; most of its injuries have stopped bleeding and its condition is a lot better than before. My clones had done some healing on it, nearly killed using the wrong medicine.
Its physiology is different from anything I had seen before; the things that work on natives or Grimms, won't work in the same way.
Still, with my knowledge, it was not hard for my clones to find what kind of things will heal it and administer it after the initial mistake.
"Aren't you a treasure," I said after a second.
At the same moment, its meta-scan appeared in front of me. It is very detailed, I could not get such a detailed meta-scan of any one of my levels, but I was able to get it due to it entering my core.
It was in my domain. There, I had control over everything.
My clones have been able to find some damn shocking things about it.
This corrupted is a host of Celestial Inheritance like me. I could not have been able to find it, even if I had a month with him outside, but inside my core, it was easy.
He had created his inheritance with the stainless mirror, as I had with a clear heart.
Which is kind of shocking, because of all celestial inheritance. The stainless mirror is the pickiest, extremely few are compatible with it, and those who do are one of the brightest of the celestial inheritance.
Celestial Inheritance is not the only thing it has; it also had the bloodline, and it is from the Grimms.
The bloodline is different working differently than it should, and I am also seeing a couple of things that made me extremely curious.
I begin to study the meta-scan while spreading my soul sense wide. They might return. Though the chances of that happening are quite low, I could not take a risk with it in my abode.
I begin to study it earnestly and the more I did, the more it fascinated me.
Soon, my eyes got focused on the moon around its core. I am not the only one who had it, it also has it, and it is an amazing thing. The more I study it; the more it shocked me.
"Let's test what it could do," I said with a smile and a moment later. A blue rose appeared in my hand, with the aura of Early Primary-III emanating from it.
I looked at the blue essence rose for a moment before it flew out of my hand and appeared above the chest of the corrupted.
It landed on the chest gently, and nothing happened.
Seconds passed, and there was no reaction. Seeing that, a frown appeared on my face. a string of energy came out from my hand.
The string flew toward the essence rose, and wrapped itself around its base, before piercing the skin of the corrupted. There was resistance, but not high enough to stop it.
Soon, it reached the other side and went to the core, but it did not go for a core. It went for the moon.
It reached the moon and wrapped itself around it.
The moment it did, it lit up like a sun and begin to suck the energies from the essence rose through the string.
Seeing that, a smile couldn't help but appear on my face.
