'I am close.' I thought as I crossed the hill. In two hours, I will reach my destination, the blue spot.

It had been a dangerous journey, but also one filled with benefits. Nero and I had killed a lot of Grimms. If my strength continues to increase at such a speed, then four days would be enough to reach the limit.

'Father, hide,' said Nero, and I moved toward the closest hiding spot.

I am moving toward my destination, but not through the route on the map. I am using the route decided by Nero.

The one was hiding spots were always nearby. It had made me circumvent an enormous distance, but it had also kept me safe.

As Nero's warning rang out, I moved to the nearing hiding spot.

A hole in a tree; it is a lot more open than I liked, but what choice do I have? I am not in the city anywhere, where collapsed buildings are everywhere, with optimal hiding spots for a person of my size.

Six seconds later, I was hiding the under the tree. The tree is quite large, and some monsters seemed to have made it, given all signs and horrible smell.

I wanted to burn it always, but I couldn't. So, I just blocked my sense of smell and stayed there for a more minute, before getting out. The first thing I did was burn away all the horrible smells.

With that done, I resumed my journey again and for the next twenty minutes. It had calm, without the slightest disturbance.

I had not stopped anything, even to collect the resources. The job, which is being done by my strings. 

'Father, Grimm,' said Nero. and my vision changed, and a Grimm appeared in front of me. It is moving sneakily, in the same direction as I am moving.

A second later, the vision disappeared, and I smoothly moved toward the Grimm, with my stealth method active at full power. 

Soon, I was just a hundred and fifty meters away from the Crockman and it couldn't sense me.

Stealth methods are good, but they are also having big restrictions. Soul sense became restricted to a short range and became much weaker. It makes it hard to sense someone with abilities of mine.

I hid myself and twenty-two seconds later, moved at it with my full power.

It sensed me immediately, and I could see its power booming as it turned toward me. It was able to summon 90% of its power when I appeared in front of it, dodging its sword.

Puch!

My sword pierced through its chest and a moment later, it disappeared into my core.

I wiped away all the signs of its aura and moved ahead with a smile on my face.

It was a fast kill, something I wouldn't have been able to do on my first day in the ruin. It would have had me for lunch if I tried to do it, but now I could with rising strength and changes I had made in my inheritance.

An hour passed and to my surprise, I had killed another bloodline Grimm, and Nero killed three.

Such a crowd is rare here, despite the number of Grimms, but not so much, when I think about their destination being the same as mine.

There is another strange thing I observed. There is only a Primary-III in this place; in the past two and half hours, I have not seen a Sovereign, which did not make me feel good.

Because no Sovereign means this place is unlikely an exit. This place is likely something that is only useful for Primary III.

I wanted to leave immediately, understanding that, but I decided to check it out. I have reached very close to it. In half an hour, I will reach the destination, and Nero much sooner.

Since I have come so far, I might as well look at what it is.

'Father,' said Nero seven minutes later and my vision changed, and a surprising thing appeared in front of me.

A castle.

It is white and in good condition; it used to be buried in the ground, but someone removed the surrounding earth. I could see the whole castle and it is beautiful, with spires and all.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

It is empty and not a single Grimms could be seen around it.

I did not move at it and instead found a well-hidden spot while asking Nero to look around it.

He did not see anything. Not a single Grimm was present here. I wanted to check out the castle seeing that, but decided to wait.

ƥαṇdα-ηθνε|·ƈθm I did not have to wait for long. thirty-six minutes later, a Bullman came out of the forest and walked toward the castle, before appearing in front of the huge gates of the castle.

It touched it and a moment later; a complex formation appeared in front of it.

It begins to move those runes before finally taking its hand back a couple of seconds later and opening the door, and getting inside.

I was right. 

There is something here, and it is for Primary-III. The question is, should I go inside? It will be dangerous, with Grimms inside, but they are Primary-III Grimms, albeit troublesome numbers.

I don't know exactly how many Grimms are there, but there are definitely numbers that will be a threat to me.

Which is also an opportunity. I will have access to a large number of Grimm monsters in a single place, with minimal danger or inescapable danger, that I could face in the open.

There is also escape, which is my target, but, if I could reach the limit there. It will open all new avenues for me.

Finding an exit will always be a priority, but I could also do other things.

It is a really hard decision to make.

Hun!

I was struggling for the answer, when the door opened, and the Grimm walked outside. A Grimm, which is not at Primary III.

A Sovereign.

It is an initial Sovereign and when Nero looks carefully with more focus. I found out; it is old Sovereign, but someone knew who had broken in through within a day.

Realizing that it took me an instant to make the decision. I am going inside. There is definitely something there that is making the Grimms level up, and I want that.

I watched the Grimm leave and when it was leaving. 

Another Grimm came out of the forest and walked toward the gate while giving a small bow to the Sovereign.

A minute later, it opened the door and entered inside.

I waited for a few minutes before moving toward the castle and soon; I appeared in front of the gate and, like the Grimms, I placed my hand and a runic lock appeared in front of me.

I begin to move the ruins.

I had not cracked the runic lock. I am just copying the Grimms. I have seen both of the Grimms using the same pattern. 

So, clearly, the key did not change.

Buzz!

A few seconds later, I am finished, and a moment later. A buzzing sound rang out; I did not waste any time and pushed open the gates.

The white screen appeared in front of me, and I stepped inside it, unhesitantly.
