It took me a while to understand the meaning of what she said, and when I looked at her, I found that it is what she said and what she said isn't just an expression.

The miasma is really not touching her body; it is just coming close to her before repealing back. It feels like her body had something that miasma did not want to come into contact with.

Something like this happened with my own energy. I had noticed this factor when I am healing the patients. 

When I am researching Miasma in my quarters, I had touched with energy that was devoid of rule-bending power. That time, I saw the miasma and my energy are repealing against each other.

Which I found very strange; the repealing force was weak but visible. I first thought it is because of my inheritance energy, a c.o.c.ktail of many energies, but when I started to experiments, I noticed it is because of Beast's energy present in runes.

I don't know what relation the Beast energy and this miasma have; I am still researching it. Understanding that relation will help me very much in my own research for Inheritance.

The forest contains large numbers of monsters, and they could be considered part of the miasma since they are born here; not only a monster but nearly everything in this forest is considered part of the miasma.

Since everything is part of miasma means nearly everything here is dangerous, one could die in minutes, and another thing is that the sensory powers have been completely suppressed here; I have to move with the help of my visual sense.

It is a huge problem for people of my level as we are very much got used to our soul sense, especially in a dangerous environment like this where we use it far more than our visual sense.

Still, I am much better than others compared to me; Ashlyn is completely fine in the Miasma. It does not affect her body, but it also does not affect her soul sense; it is working as usual.

In these four days, I am researching this miasma as there is a quite big chance that a few days later, I might be able to walk into Miasma without fear, and my soul sense would also work just fine.

My rule-bending power is amazing; I am working on something that would make me impervious to miasma even when it entered. It would just enter and go out; not only that, but I am also working my soul sense too so that it would work in the miasma; I am very close to finding the way.

This forest is extremely dangerous not only because of flora and fauna but also Grimm Monsters. They are in huge numbers here and everywhere; thousands of them are found in ten kilometers of our outpost.

The miasma changes the nature of warfare. Since we can't send too many people to the cleaning of our immediate area, Grimm Monsters can close in, not only them we also gather close to their outposts, sometimes it became quite bloody.

Hun!

Suddenly, I stopped as Ashlyn had sensed Grimm Monsters not far from us. Hearing that, I flew toward them sneakily without making the slightest sound; soon, I reached close enough that I could see the Grimm Monsters.

There are five Iron Chimpmen, holding huge iron rods, and all of them are at Peak Level of Prince Stage. They all sneakily sitting beside the boulder, similar to their skin color, and looking at our outpost, likely looking for any humans to come toward them.

I looked at them for a while before attacking with the vines. In the last two weeks, I have made huge advancement; not only I had created the 5th Ruby seal, which gave me a huge boost in body and soul but also made a breakthrough into High Level of Duke Stage which increased my power further.

I had been itching to test my power, and these Five Iron Chimpmen are good practice before the real challenge.

"Ahh… what are these f.u.c.k.i.n.g vines!" suddenly, all the Iron Chipman scremed in unison as they got bound in vines and are now struggling with their all to try to break free.

"My Grimm Race Friends, how to do like my vines," I said as I flew out of my hidden spot and appeared in front of them.

"Ehhh Ehhh…"

A look of rage appeared in their eyes as if they wanted to tear me apart, but no words came out of them when they tried to talk about it. Not to cause too much commotion from these Grimm Monsters and attract unnecessary attention, I bound their neck tightly, so no sound would come out of their throats.

Insufficiency of air would kill them; they could live without it for days, but it is a very harrowing experience for them; not that I care for it. If not wanting to do some tests, I would have killed these bastards directly; who knows how many humans have they killed before.

I closed my eyes and touched the vines to feel them more carefully as the Grimm monster struggles. I even tightened the vines on certain places, so the Grimm Monsters would struggle with every bit of strength they have.

I wanted to see its tenseness and flexibility, my vines already strong enough to Princes before they became crystalline, but after inheritance runes went to transformation, they have changed.

They have changed so much that even I don't have a complete idea, and these experiments are to get the idea of that change. So, I could utilize these properties and cultivate them further during the upgrade.

A few minutes later, I removed my hands before recording everything I observed in my holowatch.

Puch Puch Puch…

"Thank You for participating in my experiments," I said to Grimm Monsters, and the next moment sounds of piercing rang out as the sharp end of vines have pierced through their forehead.

This sharp end of vines is a new addition, I did not want to summon rose blades every time I summon vines if I want to pierce someone, so I added a small sharp end.
