Zip!

As I came out of the herb hall, there was no Grimm Monster waiting for me this time. Though I saw some Grimm Monsters and humans fighting, the Grimm Monsters have three times more numbers than the humans, seeing that I had helped them a little before climbing the floor up.

It did not take me long to reach the thirty-second floor, which was devoid of anyone. I looked around and went to the open hall, only to find everything had been harvested.

All the plants had been harvested, and those who did it were not merciful as they took everything they could; they did not leave behind King and Emperor grade herbs which are almost useless. Still, it did have something for me, and they even made my runes ting.

They did not take the protected plants, which is good for me; they are always good. I did not waste any time and took out the calibrator before started breaking the formation. Twenty minutes later, I am done, and ten minutes later, I have the plant safely stored in my storage.

I did the same with the other six protected plants of its hall before I get out and went to another open hall; there, also, I had found protected plants which I had harvested like the other hall before coming out.

I scoured through all opened halls and broken halls that could be broken within half an hour. I harvested all the precious plants before I went up to the thirty-third floor, where I found the humans and Grimm Monsters have again started fighting.

This time I did not interfere, and instead, I went to the other open halls and started harvesting protected plants. Some humans and Grimm Monsters saw me doing that, but nobody disturbed me seeing the aura of elite emitting out of me.

In few hours, I finished with the thirty-third floor and went to the thirty-fourth floor. I continued to climb floors after floors, harvesting and sometimes killing Grimm Monsters and taking their storages and turning them into essence roses.

On the way, I had passed through few training rooms and one office of Vice Tower master, which was broken. When I entered inside it, I found it completely empty, barely anything left inside while the teleportation formation was being destroyed.

Time passed by, and my storage getting filled will all types of rare and precious plants and other things I had got from the herb halls and Grimm Monsters.

I am very happy with the resources I have got already, but I am getting more and more. 

The halls above have a high density of energy which means the plants there are also high grade. Getting them making me smile brighter and brighter, the leap into this tower is going to give me much better results than I had imagined.

Soon, I reached the 40th floor; this floor is quite special; it had two training rooms and the office of Vice Tower master aside from the five herb halls.

As I reached there, I found myself the center of attention of many Grimm Monsters but focused on the three gazes. All the tree gazes belong to the elites; of them, three, one is human while the other two are Grimm Monsters.

I was quite surprised seeing the human elite; when I saw her last, she was just a step away from becoming an elite, but now she is one.

Like me, she also looked quite surprised seeing me, importantly my aura. Unlike her, I was not a step away from becoming the elite when I had entered this tower, so the progress I made in this past few days is phenomenal, could even be said shockingly.

Becoming an Elite is exceedingly hard, as it is a qualitative change. In it, one's power increase immensely that one became capable of tearing the space and travel through it. Though they need the help of an artifact to do it, still, the ability to do it is all that matters.

Her name is Maria Charles, and she is from the Hawthorn Sea and is currently attacking the training room nineteen.

As for two Elite Grimm Monsters, one is attacking training room 18, and the other is trying to break into the office of the vice tower master. Both of the Grimm Elites did not have the Bloodline, which is quite regretful as I am hoping to kill one with Bloodline.

The boost I will get from the Elite Bloodline would be immense; it would immediately increase my power that I won't have to fear anyone from the Elite stage.

I have no interest in training rooms, while they may be useful to these elites. They are not much to me; if I had been a Tyrant, I would have entered them without thinking. Now, I am going to target the office of the Vice Tower master, which is being targeted by Blood Rhinoman.

The Blood Rhinomen is one powerful Grimm tribe, and they have a patriarch on the high council of Grimm Monster.

The Blood Rhinoman in front of me is very powerful that I would not be able to defeat it with raw strength. Not only it is powerful, but it is also quite wealthy; the calibrator it is holding in its hand is level above mine, and I would try to get my hands on it, but that is a thing for the future, I should first focus on the door it is targeting.

The runes on the door of the vice-tower master's office are invisible, but they would become visible now and then when the Blood Rhinoman would flash certain formations from its calibrator. 

I quickly copied the runes in my calibrator when they flashed and begin to solve the formation. The Blood Rhinoman noticed me doing it but did not say anything; it just took one look at my calibrator and turned back toward the door, and continued flashing the formations at the door, but not a single one is helping to break it.
