Monster Integration

"I hope you will save Sarah if she is in danger," He requested, and my face looked like I was about to vomit. "I know Sarah is not an easy person, and you two don't get along, but I hope you help her get what she wants and save her if she is in any danger." He added and gave me a look.

"As long as it does not compromise my own safety, I will help her with everything I have," I said finally; "I will not forget this favor, Micheal," he said as he gave me a quick hug.

"By the way, what happened yesterday? Sarah was fuming when she returned yesterday, cursing your name left and right," he asked. To that, I smiled and walked toward the teleportation formation, which was ready for us.

"Be safe, love," Jim said to Sarah, and they kissed while I stepped into the teleportation gate; I did not have any interest in watching their pda.

A second later, I stepped near a huge valley whose air itself wanted to corrupt my blood. It is a place for Tyrants; those below the Tyrants will quickly find their blood getting corrupted and madness clouding their minds.

The valley in front of me is quite scary; there is blood-red mist with a hint of black clouding it from all directions, and once one enters inside it, it will try to drill inside them. These are dangerous effects that only Tyrants could defend against.

Inside my core, I took out the map; the Pyramid had sent me in a specific direction. So, I know my exact direction and know where to go.

Step!

About a minute later, I sensed the spatial fluctuations, and Sarah appeared; sensing her, I flew toward the forest.

Thankfully, Sarah did not say anything and just followed behind as I moved into the forest.

As I flew into the valley, I could feel the corrupted energies getting denser and denser, trying to corrupt my blood. They could forget about that, even forgetting my power; my art is strong enough to provide me protection against these corrupted energies that might affect my blood.

We moved pretty fast as we headed deeper, and the corrupted energies began to become denser.

We are moving toward the eastern central part of the valley, where the entrance of the blood bane section. The valley had been part of our world forever, though it was part of ruin that merged with our world hundreds of thousands of years ago.

The blood bane section is a recent phenomenon; it appeared about three hundred years ago and has a powerful restriction that restricts anybody above the Grandmaster class.

Many powerhouses have explored that place and have gotten many rewards, but some have even lost their life. Even Sarah had come here a few days ago and was barely able to return with her life in hand; that place is very dangerous.

It will be the only danger we will face; the corrupted blood valley is our territory, and Grimms are rarely seen here, which is such a bummer.

I am extremly close to reaching the absolute peak of the Grandmaster class, and harvesting a few Grimms would have definitely helped a lot.

Roar!

Around ten minutes later, one of the corrupted monsters of the valley finally had the courage. It was a huge leopard with a mouth big enough to swallow two of us whole together, and it was pretty fast too.

It had been following us sneakily for the past few minutes and now finally made a mind to attack us; it should not have.

Bang!

"Stupid monster," Sarah said as she released the stream of metallic energy, and a moment later, the monster exploded into the fine dust.

After that, no monsters tried to attack us, and most of them even stopped following us. Even those who are still following us widened the gap in fear.

About forty minutes later, we stopped by a stream. The water of the stream is surprisingly clear and corruption-free, considering the level of corruption here that would make even a Master feel pressure.

The entrance of the blood bane section is right in front of us on the soothing flower bed. For a normal person, there is nothing on the flowerbed, but powerful Tyrants like us could sense the dense spatial energies; there is a clear spatial gateway there.

We both moved toward the spatial gateway at the same time, and as we did, our armors appeared on our bodies.

I have to say, its angelic armor of Sarah has become even more beautiful; the purple and steel grey combination design looked really amazing. Even though I hate to admit it, given her physical appearance, everything would look good on her, even rags.

Step Step!

Soon we appeared beside the spatial layer and looked at each other before stepping inside it.

The next second, I felt my blood getting cold and freezing, and if I wasn't a Grandmaster, that would have happened.

We are in the land which is covered in a dark, bloody mist; this mist is fractioning against us, trying to freeze our blood and then ignite it the next second, leaving no proof. Most of the people who died here did not leave any proof.

We die here; the blood mist will make our signs disappear within seconds.

"Follow me," Sarah said coldly and moved forward; I followed her. The mission did not say anything about the thing she wanted or where it was; even lady Angela did not say where the thing I want is here.

The answer to that is Sarah; she knows the thing where she wants it, and that is likely where I might find what I am looking at.

"Our destination is a new tomb that had appeared here; it has many layers and extremly powerful runic restrictions," She informed me a few moments later; I just nodded and did not comment on it.

Time passed as we moved deeper into the blood bane section; the aura got denser with each minute, till it reached the point we had to slow down our steps and activate our stealth methods at full power.

We are not the biggest bastards here, and we should remember that; many people have lost their lives forgetting that.
