2459: Tome and Scroll

Tome and Scroll

"This is the first volume of transcendence of soul; my friend who was practicing one of the celestial methods has said it is the best soul subject book on soul efficiency for those at primary," He said while looking at the tome before turning toward the scroll on its other hand.0

"This scroll contains a special soul method I had found in the ancient temple; the method is quite strange and very complex that I am not very sure it would be helpful to you or anyone,"

"Even if you were not able to practice it, the knowledge you will gain from it would be immense," It said and handed me both the tome and the scroll.

"Thank you," I said as I stored both things in my storage; "Don't mention it. I just hope you will grow powerful enough to reach my world and hand this scroll to my main body; it is quite important for my house." It said emotionally.

"I will try," I replied. To that, he nodded and began to disappear. "Leave this place as soon as possible; those necrotic stands begin to call back the golems," It warned as it disappeared. It had completely disappeared that I could see no trace of it, even with all my abilities.

"Are these safe?" I asked Ashlyn, who has behaved like a good little bird ever since the soul materialized from the crystal.

I would be an idiot if I believed everything that soul had said, and who knows, it might not truly disappear and is just standing invisible in front of me.

"Chew Chew," 

She nodded affirmatively a moment later, seeing that I stored them in my core before storming toward the exit. It had warned that the flesh golem was gathering, and I had to get the hell away before they reached a high number.

I just hope the truly powerful ones hadn't arrived yet; Ashlyn had found some above who were at the level of council members.

KRRRRR!

Soon, I read the huge door and pushed it, and at the same time, I activated all my boosts. I could not take any risk when dealing with these flesh golems; they are extremely powerful, especially when they explode.

Soon, the door opened enough, and my soul sense spread. Within a second, I got the number and power of the flesh golems down, and it couldn't make me serious.

Chew Chew!

Ashlyn chirped and flew out through the small gap that I had opened. I did not stop her, there are some I might not be able to handle, but it would not be a problem for Ashlyn. It is also comforting that the flesh golems at the level of High Grandmaster had not arrived.

If they had, I would have not let Ashlyn fly out of my shoulder.

BOOOOM BOOOOM BOOOOM

About half a minute had passed when suddenly the explosions began, and they rang out one after another. Eight flesh golems have self-destructed within thirty seconds, Ashlyn rate of killing had truly shocked me.

These flesh golems were not weak; seven of them were at the peak of Grandmaster class, and of them, three were near the absolute peak that I might not able to beat even after fighting for an hour.

I pressed the door further, and when the gap inside it became big enough, I walked out of it. 

This time, I was not surprised after seeing there were barely any signs of destruction. I have seen with my very own eyes how the shining runes on the bones absorb all the distractive energy. That even the self-destruction of flesh golem at the peak of the High Grandmaster class did not cause the much destruction as one expected.

I did not even stop as I walked through the garden; who knows when a powerful flesh golem would show up here and stop me from leaving or even kill me.

Though I did not stop, my strings came out of me and spread around the garden. There are some things I have planned to take, and now that I am leaving, I am taking them. It is a huge risk, but I am sure the benefits of it would be great too.

A minute later, I reached the stairs, and at the same time, my strings have also bound to the pieces of bones and broken stones pieces of the grey platform.

Rooo!

I did not waste any time and pulled the strings; just as I did, thirteen bones and thirty-four rocks of different sizes flew toward me. 

My eyes became sharp as I looked for any anomaly that might appear to be the result of my action, but nothing seemed to be happening, no powerful formation activated and seeing that I released the breath that I had been holding.

Soon, all the bones and the stones appeared a hundred meters from me and began disappearing. All of them have vanished into my storage, where each and every one of them went directly into the open boxes, which closed as the bones and stones appeared in them.

Krrrr!

Seeing that a smile couldn't help but appear on my face, I pushed the door open. Thankfully, I do not need to break the formation to exit through the door; otherwise, I would have to waste a few more hours in it.

The door opened, and I walked outside with the tens of rooms in front of me. Most of them were already empty, to begin with, and some were emptied by Grimm Monsters and me. Some rooms still have stuff, but I will not be taking those resources.

My first priority was to get the hell out of here; it had been more than a day since Nero finished off the Grimm Monsters inside.

Given the importance of the resources, especially the death and metal tree and the pure soul water, the Grimm would surely send another party, and I had to leave before they reached the door of the underground.

I do not want to open the door and find them on the other side; it would be really bad for me.
