chapter-3199

I had guessed it right.

That moon is something of a beacon and gatherer. It will absorb the Grimm energies that its body creates and the beacon to absorb the bloodline energies from the source.

It does and purifies these energies before sending them to the core, which is a pure inheritance core.

It is doing just that right with an essence rose.

It absorbs the energies from it and purifies them before sending the stream into the core. The core is absorbing it without any problem.

If I am right, this corrupted, eats the Grimms whole. Though not flesh, but their essences.

If not, there is no way it would have absorbed the energies from the essence rose. Which is made from the essence of the Grimms.

That moon is artificial, like the core and now I have seen what it could do. I want it; I want its schematics.

I wish I could just snatch it, but I could not. Like the inheritance core, it is also made from the power of celestial inheritance, and I could not take it forcefully. It will be destroyed if I tried that.

A few minutes passed, and the clone finished looking at what I had asked it.

'Are you sure?' I asked, despite knowing it is sure. 'Yes,' it replied, and I have heaved a sigh of relief.

This corrupted is not cannibal, it did not eat any native, not a single one of them. It is the first thing I had asked my clone to find, and my clone looked deep and found no markers related to that.

If you eat another being, it leaves markers inside. The markers are very visible if it is an intelligent being.

Grimms' bodies are filled with such markers and so are the bodies of human cannibals. Thousands of books library says the same thing. If you eat the being of the world, there will be markers.

This corrupted did not have any.

As for it sucking the essence of the natives through the moon like it is doing it with the Grimms. The moon is only Grimms energies, and I am very sure of it; it is not that powerful to fool me.

Still, I study it carefully. It never hurts to be more cautious.

Hun!

A few more minutes passed, and it had consumed more than half of the essence rose, when something surprising happened.

Energy begins to release from the core and spread its body into its wounds and started to heal them. I thought, only its moon was special, but its inheritance is no less special as well.

Soon, the whole essence rose is consumed, and I immediately replaced it with another essence rose.

This one is from Mid-Primary III Grimms, more powerful than the last essence rose, but its moon has no problem taking its energy and then sending it to the core.

Which again converted into healing energies. The healing energies coming now are more powerful than the healing energies before, because of the power of essence energies.

Time passed as I watched everything in minute detail.

Hun!

When its injuries healed about 80%, I felt it move. A few seconds later, its eyes fluttered. Its movement was relaxed for a second before it suddenly turned taut, and it slowly turned toward me.

"Hiii"

I said and waved at him with a smile. It, in turn, looked at me with extreme caution. I could see its energy moving inside it, ready to strike me at moments notice.

"Who are you?" it asked in a surprisingly melodic voice. I shouldn't be surprised. Half of it is a Foxmen tribe.

"Is this the first thing, you should say to your savior?" I asked back. it looked around, surprised, before looking around, including the essence rose, which was still attached to its chest.

Which it is looking at like it is a treasure of the world.

It peeled its eyes away from the essence with some difficulty and turned to me. "Thank you for saving me," it said cautiously, still alert as ever.

"Relax, I am not going to kill you. If I wanted to, I would have handed you to those who are hunting you," I said and get up from my spot and walked toward the kitchen.

It looked at me intently before getting up from the med bed and following me to the kitchen.

"While the energies from essence rose are healing your injuries. You still need to eat." I said and took out the stuff.

It could eat nearly the same thing as I. Though, to be careful, I will make meat dishes only.

He did not say anything and just watched me cook. I am also comfortable with silence.

"Who are you? And why do you save me?" it asked finally. "I will save the first question for later, and as for saving you, I don't have a definite reason for it,"

"When I first saw you, I wanted to kill you since you are corrupted, but I felt curious, thus decided to save you and it was the right decision, at least academically."

"Not every day, you can meet the host of Stainless Mirror and someone who is stealing the Grimm's source energies and refining those energies, for their use," I said with an innocent smile.

My words alarmed it, especially the last sentence. That hat it got up from its spot and a rapier appeared in its hand. I did not so much bat an eye at its alarm and continued cooking.

It kept looking at me in alarm with a weapon in its hand for more than a minute before it put it away.

"Calm enough?" I asked as I looked at him and it nodded.

For the next few minutes, we did not speak. At least till the essence rose disappeared from its chest, I wordlessly put the box with the essence rose in front of it, while cooking.

He took out the essence rose, very gently, as if it have the most precious thing in the world.

"You can use it. I have more of them in my storage," I said, to its shock.
