Monster Integration



I opened my eyes and walked out of the abode before taking it inside.

The dawn is approaching, and the energy is thinning. It is time for me to get out of here, from this place into the dangerous wild.

I did not delay even a second and started moving fast. I have been here for two days in the ruin time.

The impartation may look like it had taken a lot of time, but it had taken less than what it took me to solve the puzzle to gain an impartation.

A few minutes passed, and I appeared out in the open, where dangerous energy hitting my armor. The hall underground was very well protected, that I had walked there without my armor.

If I did it here, I would die painfully in less than ten seconds.

A few crystalline rays of dawn had started coming out, and it looked beautiful. Regretfully, I couldn't enjoy it for long as I have a place to reach. If I became as late as last time, it would slip away, as the Snow Werewolf did.

I will not let it happen. It will die by my sword and I will have its bloodline.

I moved fast, but like always, I had to hide from the damn monsters, wasting a few seconds to minutes, before moving again.

Last night, Nero had created quite a terror here; killed a lot of Grimms, including two Sovereigns. Where he led the monsters; they tried to run away, but the monsters got them.

It was a torturous battle for the Grimms; monsters injured them, while the energy killed them, painfully.

Though, if they had been in my core, they would have died even more painfully.

A little more than half an hour passed, and I took some risks, but I reached the place where my prey is hiding. Nero's soul sense tracked it, and I could see it had already woken up and eaten.

It is not an eating monster, but a native. I controlled my rage and waited. 

Twelve minutes later, the Grimm took its abode back into its storage and begin to walk out. 

I stood behind the door harnessing my full power and stealth ability. Two minutes and seventeen seconds later, it came out to looking cautiously with his soul sense but did not sense me.

My clones have made some changes to inheritance according to the environment of this ruin.

Now, the stealth method works 30% to 35% better.

As it came out, moved to attack him. The Yellow Fur Dogman sensed me immediately and reacted, summoning its sword and a couple of defensive methods, but it is already too late.

I have been waiting with full power active, with only a few meters away.

It might be strong as Snow Werewolf and would have fought against me for a few minutes at least. If it had been aware, but it is not and that is what I am counting on.

It is the reason I had not activated the stealth field. It would have detected it the moment I did.

Still, I activated my methods, who did the same job in a smaller area. I can't be too careful in a place like this.

I avoided its saber easily and appeared in front of it before burrowing my sword into its chest. It looked at it in horror before it disappeared into my storage.

"Nice kill, father," said Nero as he appeared in front of me. "Thank you, Nero," I said. 

He smiled and appeared inside me; to get the boost. 

He had not only killed a Grimms last night but also got his ass kicked. He had reached for something, which he shouldn't given his power, but he still tried and nearly got it before that monster kicked his ass hard.

I am glad that happened; he had been getting too confident in his abilities. It will keep him grounded for some time.

I didn't wait for the boost and resumed my travel. It will be dangerous without Nero, but I will do it. I have abilities, and while they are not as good as Nero, they will keep me alive.

Hun!

I was just thinking that when I sensed a monster and moved to hide.

I am hiding in the same place the Dogman had spent the night. It is the safest one in the close range.

I enter inside and waited, instead; the monster slowed down and begin to sniff. For a moment, I got alarmed, before realizing it was not sniffing in my direction.

It sniffed for a few seconds before moving fast toward the west. In just a couple of seconds, it completely disappeared from the range of my soul sense.

I waited for a half minute before I walked out and resumed my journey and now, with being even more cautious. The monster was dangerous. If it had detected me, I would have died.

I will not survive like this. I need to make a breakthrough into Primary-III, or even with Nero, someone quick will reach me and it will be a game over for me.

It is not easy, but not hard either with Grimms in this ruin. I will need to continue killing them till I reach the limit. 

Buzz!

Time passed when finally, the Dogman turned to dust, and strengthening energy was released. It was powerful and began to fill every cell of mine, making my strength rise every second.

At the same time, Nero got out, brimming with the boost he got.

The strengthening energy is for me, he does not need it. He could digest the purified bloodline energies. 

The energy started getting absorbed by my parched body and growth energy into the selected trees, but I am looking with wide eyes at something else in my core.

Nero had come, and he left something. Storages of the Grimms he had killed, including of the two Sovereigns, who were killed because of his interference, and my clones had opened them.

Bringing out so many resources that I wasn't able to react for a moment.

They would cover the coming breakthrough and all the breakthroughs in Primary-III and of Sovereign. 

It is really too much, and more will come.

If I had survived this ruin, then the resources would be the last thing, I would be worried about it.

I can then truly focus on the things that will help me progress faster. I couldn't help but feel excited about the scenario. 

Thinking that I want to make a breakthrough even faster.

An hour passed, and I avoided a couple of monsters. One Grimm Sovereign and native Sovereign. He was tracking the Grimm.

I am glad they did not sense me.

There were also two Primary-III. Nero quickly dealt with them. Fighting them did not worth it and I decided not to do that, unless, of course, they have a bloodline.

Those with bloodlines are fewer than those without it, but seeing the Grimms' numbers, I won't have any problem.

'Father, I had found one,' said Nero, just when I am thinking about it. Without hesitation, I changed my direction and moved toward the Lizardman.
