Chapter 2167 - Lancet Ruin (1/2)
”A weeks ago, we have sensed some the activity of Grimm Monsters and sent a Master to investigate, and within a day we have lost contact with him, after that, we have sent a team of four, with them too we have lost the contact,”
”Three days ago, we sent the last two, they both had very good surviving skills, but twelve minutes ago, we lost contact with them too, with this as their last message,” He said, hearing that my expressions couldn't help but become serious.
”Did anyone of them were able to find out what the Grimm Monsters are doing in the Lancet Ruin?” I asked, to which he shook his head.
”No, our assessment is the same; it is Master limit ruin which had been already harvested completely before it had reached our world,” He answered.
”Are Grimm's fishing?” I asked. The finishing, as we called it, is a trap. We create fake disturbances in ruin and attract the other side; after that, it is a simple hunt for a powerful powerhouse that is waiting on the other side.
”They might be,” He replied, unsure as one is in such a scenario.
”When do I leave?” I asked; he would not have asked me if he did not want me to go to the ruin. I am one of few humans who could fight against the Vidette without dying.
”You will leave immediately.” ”You have three objectives, first is to kill the vidette, the second rescue our people if they are alive, and third find out if they are simply fishing or there is something else going on in the ruin,” he said.
Lord Whitman is more focused on killing the Vidette than rescuing our people, and I could not blame him.
The videttes are a nightmare for the same-level powerhouse. In places like restricted ruins where they are most powerful, the most violet vidette is placed in such a location, making it impossible for Grandmasters to hunt them.
”Ok,” I said and walked toward the formation, and a few seconds later, I was in front of the teleportation gate.
The technician is finishing with the last details, so I had just waited while reading the data that Lord Whitman has provided about the Lancet ruin in my core.
”Lord Zaar, the passage is ready,” The head technician said about fifteen minutes later. I nodded and stepped into the teleportation without wasting a second.
Since there is Vidette involved, there is a chance that humans that had gone to the ruin are still alive. Unlike most Grimm Monsters and us humans, we like to kill our enemy soon as possible and be done with it, but videttes are not like that.
Since they could not practice other than their combat and could not derive other pleasures such as eating, making. They find different ways to cope in their long lives, and most of them like to play with their prey, which is a bad thing.
It is the reason why, for a second, I hope that Vidette is a sane one and had killed the humans it had found.
The humans became the plaything of Vidette wish they had died; every second is torture, and those lucky or unlucky, as you might say, that have rescued beg from dying and even commit suicide.
