Chapter 2236 - By Right
"My Lords, lord Whitmore has ordered you back into a pyramid as soon you appeared," Said the Master class powerhouse the moment we have stepped out of the gate before beginning to lead us toward the formation.
We did not even get a few seconds to relax before we reached the other end of the underwater fortress where the teleportation formation is.
The appearance of the exit gate was so sudden that after confirming it leads to entrances we have in control, we jumped inside it, fearing it might disappear the next second.
Less than a minute later, we have disappeared from it and appeared in the Pyramid. There is someone who was already waiting for us to take to the office of Lord Whitmore.

The door of the office opened, and we walked inside; there, we saw lord Whitmore's realistic protection working around tens of screens in front of him, and looking at the expressions on his face, he did not look to be in a good mood.
Not only him but the whole Pyramid seemed to be in a somber mood. Something bad has definitely had happened, I am sure of it.
"You have taken far more time in what was supposed to be a rescue mission," He said as he looked at us from the screens in front of him.
"If you had not returned in a week, I would have had to send a search party for you, which I could not afford to do, seeing the losses we have had suffered in the past few weeks." He said, swiping a screen in front of us.
The screen is showing simple numbers, but seeing it, a shock and alarm couldn't helo but appear on my face, especially one number.
In the month we were in the ruin, we have lost fourteen Grandmasters. The number is shocking; aside from them, we have lost more than a hundred masters and over a thousand leaders.
The number of elites we have lost went even higher, and the number of regular Tyrants went in tens of thousands. As those below the Tyrants, their numbers went nearly a hundred million.
It is not just a number I am seeing, but a slaughter that Grimms have brought on us; it is earthshaking.
"What had just happened?" I asked as I had got control over my shock.
"The Grimms have brought out their real strength, even taking out five Grandmaster videttes," He said, shocking us further.
The Grandmaster videttes are extremly rare in that they are only brought out in the last phase of war or in the final battle.
The most shocking thing is their numbers; in the last five hundred years, they have never brought out more than four Grandmaster videttes in any war, but now they have brought the five of them, one more than usual.
"There are more than a hundred Grandmasters have taken the field while we have deployed more than half our Grandmaster; it would be an understatement to say our condition is grim," he said with a sigh.
"Rhea, it seemed like you have improved. Take a good rest today; I have an important mission for you tomorrow," He said to Rhea before he turned to Jim.
"Jim, since you have gotten that alchemy artifact, I hope you will be able to help us even more with its help; you will get the list of resources you will have to craft." He said and dismissed them.
They left, and now only I alone remained in the office with the projection of the lord Whitmore.
"I should have not sent you to rescue mission," he sighed again. "In the past weeks, we were forced to use your crystal roses to the gain the edge we could that we had to use them all," he informed, which couldn't help but surprise me.
From what they have told me, they have been storing more than 80% of crystal roses I have been supplying them to them for the final phase of the battle. The things must have really gone worse for them force using them earlier than they have planned.
"From now on, you will be staying at the Pyramid, focusing solely on crafting crystal roses and working on your advancement to the Grandmaster to heal the Grandmaster in the hall of sleep," He ordered.
"I don't think there is a need to that," I said while shaking my head, and before he could ask the question, a crystal box in front of him.
He looked at my question, and when I did not provide an answer, he took the box in his hand and began to open it. Even though he is a projection, he can touch things; it is one of the things special to Pyramid.
It took him a moment to open the box, and when he did, he sort of froze. He is unable to properly process what he is seeing.
In front of him is a big rose and not an essence rose but a crystal rose, a Grandmaster level crystal rose.
After I got with a puzzle, I focused my gaze on the essence rose of Grandmaster. I have all the data needed to create a Grandmaster class crystal rose and more than enough resources; I only had to give 80% of my consciousness and lots of rule-bending power to create this.
"My eyes are not deceiving me; it is truly a Grandmaster class crystal rose," He said softly as he looked at the alabaster color crystalline rose, which I have made from the essence rose of Alabaster Bullman.
"It means,"
I did not keep him in suspense for too long and released the Grandmaster Class aura, which couldn't help but shock him despite expecting it after seeing the crystal rose.
"It seemed like the gamble we have placed on you have really paid off, much sooner than I had imagined," he said with a smile on his face.
I know what he is referring to, my rescue when I had leveled up to the Tyrant stage. It had cost Pyramid a lot, and with this Grandmaster class crystal rose and other things are Ive done, I think I have paid the heavy debt that Pyramid had incurred in saving me.
Means, now I could truly demand something by right.
