Chapter 144

I look at the black pool where the Grimm spawns and see Medea pour one drop of red liquid into the black pool. After pouring the liquid inside the black pool, the black mud starts to bubble up, and I can see a silhouette of a human face inside the black pool.

While I can not physically hear it, I can hear the screaming coming from the face inside the pool.

It lasts for a minute before the black mud evaporates and leaves nothing inside.

"That is interesting… Can I ask what that was?"

Rin looked at me before saying.

"Whoever does this is not really smart. They are powerful and divine in nature, but they are stupid."

The way she said that it was like whoever made this thing was the stupidest person she had ever encountered.

"He put a little bit of his essence into this black mud, and that is his essence you see earlier."

"I see."

"Anyway, we created a poison made of a rare ingredient from my world. The poison will attack the essence inside the black pool and then kill it. With the divine essence killed, the pool will also disappear."

I see. That makes sense, I guess.

"Master," I look at Medea, who walks toward me with a jar in her hand, "Can I take this divine essence with me?"

I look at the jar in his hand and see a golden mist floating around inside the jar.

"Can it cause a problem? I did not want to have a problem with this world god."

"Don't worry, master. This is the pure essence. It did not have any soul in it. Whoever leaves this behind cannot track it to us."

"I see. Just make sure they cannot track us. I did not want to have a fight with another god."

"Of course, master."

I get up from the ground and look around for a few seconds.

"Alright, let us clean this continent."

~Two days later~

It took us two days to finally clean all the Grimm's pools in Menagerie. Not because there are a lot of them, but rather, creating the poison takes time. There are only two dozen Grimm's pools on this continent.

Each of the Grimm's pools has a small divine essence inside of them.

"Master. Can I ask for a favour?"

"What kind of favour?"

I look at Medea walking toward me.

"Can we gather more divine essence? I want to experiment with it, and I think Rin also wants it as well."

"I don't really mind. We have time in this world, after all. However, make sure that you finish collecting in a week. We will receive some newbies from the company."

"Oh, yeah. I almost forgot about that. We will have to fight another horde of Grimm next month, right?"

"Yup."

"Then what kind of preparation do we need to do?"

"Hmmm, we will think about it later. The newbie will arrive a week before the breach. We can think about a plan when that time comes."

"Very well."

|3rd POV|

Ghira and his people go to the middle of the desert, where Riser and his companion make their base. However, when Ghira arrives at their base, they are greeted with a sight they never thought they would see.

It was a spar between Riser and Kara.

Ghira has seen many sparring matches but what they witness is very different. Their punches generate a massive shockwave that can blow an average human away if they get close to the spar.

Not only that, Ghira is barely able to keep up with their movement. He is a veteran huntsman, and it is really surprising that he can barely keep up with their movement.

After a minute of punching each other, Riser and Kara float in the air.

"Shall we get serious, my dear?" Riser smiles at her and coats his fist with white fire.

"You don't need to ask twice, Riser!"

Kara appears in front of Riser in the blink of an eye and punches him. However, before her fist could hit his face, Riser blocked the incoming attack.

Sadly for him, Kara's punch is strong enough to throw him away a dozen metres away. With a grin on his face, Riser flew toward Kara with his fist blazing with fire. When his fist hit Kara's arm, it generated a massive explosion.

However, it did not do enough damage to Kara's Kryptonian body. With a deep breath, Kara absorbs a large amount of solar radiation and generates an energy blast. The blast was strong enough to make the sand underneath them melt and burn Riser.

Riser looks at his hands that get burned from Kara's attack and say,

"That is powerful. Most heat-related attacks are not really working against the Phenex clan, but your attacks manage to burn my skin and even some of my muscle."

Riser ignored the pain and saw his wound get healed in a matter of a second. After healing his wound, Riser looks at Kara with a grin on his face. He suddenly appeared in front of Kara and thrust his hand forward.

Seeing the incoming attack, Kara dodges it and makes her own attack.

Both fights locked into a close combat fight. They use their legs, arms and even their head to attack the opponent.

After a few minutes of fighting, both of them stop to take a quick breath. The area around them is destroyed beyond recognition. There is a massive crater scattering around the desert, a vast pool of lava and even a gigantic deep hole.

When they are stopped, Riser looks at Ghira and his companion. He gave them a smile before saying.

"Welcome, Ghira. I'm sorry for the mess. We just have some friendly spar."

"Friendly… Spar? I see."

Ghira did not believe what he had been hearing. Friendly spar is not a fight that can break someone's bones. What he just witnessed is something that happens when they fight for their life, not for a friendly spar.

"Anyway, please follow Rin. I will be with you momentarily. I need to take a quick shower."
