Chapter 1939 - Glow Palace II

I moved toward the glow palace, and within few minutes, I could see the orange dot myself, which was getting bigger and bigger till I saw the building the size of the small town appear in front of me.

No one knows the origin of the glow palace; there are contradictory opinions; some said it was a small organization while others said it is a magi-science facility to research curses. Some even said someone had a powerful unstable curse treasure born here and exploded.

I don't know which opinion to believe; there is too little data about it to say anything. I could only say when I see things with my own eyes.

The glow palace is forty stories tall town-size building, and it is glowing in faint orange color, from which it had got its name. It is thousands of years old building, and many parts of it have collapsed already; even then, it is a huge building and would take months if I want to check every corner of it.

I do not have months of time, I barely have a week, and in the week, I have to check several spots for the divine crystal and collect the treasures I had found on the way.

There are very few monsters in the Glow Palace; the reason behind it is simple. When humans and Grimm Monsters have discovered Divine Crystals in this place, they thonged this place in doves and killed the huge numbers of monsters living there..

While the monsters are powerful, they could not compete with greedy humans and Grimm Monsters who are willing to pay any price for the treasures like divine crystals. It continued happening for centuries, with master class Tyrants coming here and slaughtering the monsters.

Still, the monsters are not the greatest danger here; the greatest danger here is the environment; the curse energies inside are five to eight times stronger than outside, they would need few seconds to eat away the defenses of the elites, and even leader class won't be able to stay inside for more than an hour without a special means.

I don't know whether even the means I had developed will be able to protect me from such dense curse power, and there is only one way to find out.

Buzz!

I reached near the boundary of the glow palace and removed the artros pearl and activated it, and at the same moment, I activated a formation inside me. As I did, red formation came out of Arstros pearl, and pink formation came from me to entwine themselves.

Soon, the entwined formation began to cover me, and the artros pearl floated above my head. A minute later, a red and pink formation had covered every part of me while artros pearl floated above me.

The pearl and the formation stopped giving out any shine; they would even merge into light around them to help me hide better. I do not want glowing pearl and formation which would attract the eye of any monster or Grimm Monsters from a mile; doing that will defeat the whole purpose of coming here.

With all my preparation ready, I took a step into the boundary of the Glow palace, and as I did, I immediately felt the change.

The curse energy immediately doubled; the curse energy came at me, not targeting me specifically, acting like air does, but just as it touched my armor, its nature would change. It would try to eat away my protection and try to seep inside me.

The method I used earlier and using now did not stop the curse energy at all. Using the rule-bending power, I am making this curse energy believe; I am also curse energy, and there is nothing to harm while taking the energy inside my armor.

Earlier, I used to filter this energy through my armor before releasing it outside, but this time, I am doing something like that.

This time, there is no filter and release of energy; this time, I just take the energy into my armor before store it into the artros pearl floating above my head. I had created a sophisticated storing formation with dense rule-bending power; it does not have a problem storing this powerful curse energy which could burn through anything.

It is a very complex method that I needed days to craft; one of the biggest challenges was powering the Artros pearl with my power, but I was able to find the solution, which enables me to power it half, which is enough for my purpose.

This method could only be used by me due to the special curse elemental constitution I have. If I did not have that, I would not be able to work something like that; even with rule-bending power, I would not reach this far in the ruin.

I stayed on my spot for a couple of seconds and checking everything, and when I found everything was working fine, I moved toward the Glow Palace while I changed my aura to that of peak leader class Tyrant.

There is no way I will fight against the Grimm Monster I find here; if I come across it; I would just have to talk it out, and here there is a chance I will be able to do that, unlike other places, the curse energy here is so dense that even curse masters have to use the special means to protect themselves against it and not to forget attracting the monsters which would target them first, instead of targeting me.

These factors would force any leader class Grimm Monster to avoid a fight, but not all of them are unavoidable. If I come across a master class Grimm Monster, it would attack me without doubt, and I would not be able to defend against it to survive it.

I would have liked to disguise myself as a master class Tyrant, but it would not work; my disguise is not perfect due to the power gap. Even councilwomen marla was able to tell something was wrong when I put Master class disguise in front of her, and she is only a leader class Tyrant.

So, I have to take a risk with this disguise and hope that I do not come across any Grimm Monster, be it leader class or Master class.
