Monster Integration

"Well, that was a little unexpected," I said, looking at Beastman.

A mirthless smile appeared on the Beastman and others as they shook their heads and sighed.

"Thank you for saving us. If not for you, we would have killed without mercy," he thanked, and it was Grimms he was referring to, but the traitor, who was strong enough to kill all of them within a second.

"All of you would have done the same if you were in my place," I replied, and he just smiled.

"I am new to this place, can you provide me some information and a map, if you, have it?" I asked, to which he nodded, and a couple of crystals came toward me.

"Most of the information, we have is from spawns. They had come here before," he said.

"It didn't matter where the information is coming from, as long as it is legit, I am fine with it," I said and turned to others, injured.

They had drunk the potions and their healing power working in overdrive, but it would still take them a while to heal. 

"Here, take these potions. They are useful against the kind of injuries you have suffered," I said and threw potions at them.

Some thanked, me while looking at me in suspicion and I couldn't blame them after the whole episode of the traitor. 

Still, some drank it and a few seconds after that, their eyes widened in surprise. Seeing that others drank it too, they too seemed surprised by its effect.

Nothing is surprising about it. 

When they were fighting against the Grimms. I had collected a sample of their energies and filtered it and put it into these already crafted potions and looking at the data flashing in front of me, they seemed to be working well.

It cost me a fortune to craft these potions, but I am happy they are working.

"Take care, everyone," I said as I flew away after I got answers to my questions.

A few minutes later, I landed and continued my journey with the new match and higher strength than I had before joining the battle. All the Grimms had been harvested and their strengthening energy had been absorbed.

They had transformed my entire core.

For a few minutes, I had used all the growth energy I had on specific plants. I didn't let it spread free and wide, but I did with the growth energy of the Sovereign Grimm.

I let it spread everywhere into the thousands of plants, while growth is small since it spread into nearly all plants on two islands, its transformative.

Early on, before I had even come to this place, I decided to focus the growth energy from Earth-Sovereign on select plants that I needed and used the one from Sovereign for all plants.

At least till, I have got enough resources from selected plants, before focusing energy on all plants.

It is a little risky considering all the plants I had planted are important, but the ones I am targeting are more important. Let's just hope I get enough Grimm to require resources from targeted plants.

So, I could share the growth energy with the rest of the plants.

While moving, I took out a key from my pocket and looked at it. It looked the same, but there was a numeric six written on it; it would let me open six places with it.

Though some place requires more than one point; Kauan, the Beastman said, there are some doors that require ten points to open the door.

The things found in doors have made little excited, but what made me more excited was the number of Grimms. Kauan said there are a large number of Grimms here and came from many entrances.

I had expected there would be more than one entrance and exit, and I am right.

Now, I have to find the doors; there are many of them, but they are far and most open. Many doors could be opened again, but things in that aren't unlimited and they get expanded.

An hour passed, and I came across two Grimms.

Thankfully, they were far away from me. If they had attacked me, it would have been quite hard for me to get away from them.

Still, it is quite regretful to not fight them, since one of them had the bloodline.

I pushed the thoughts away and kept following the arrow. 

My clone had got enough information that it could produce an arrow. I need to follow it to reach the destination. Though avoiding the broken formation is completely on me and there are a lot of them here.

Soon, I came across a vast field of the broken formations and stopped for a moment.

I could avoid it, by taking a long way, but it would waste too much time and not it is safe. There are two fields of broken formations, albeit a smaller one than this one.

So, after a second of thinking, I started to make my way to the dangerous area. People have crossed it before and there is a way to safely cross it, but it is an area littered with broken formations and thus unpredictable.

So, I have to be on my toes and keep alert always.

A few minutes passed, and I crossed through a couple of dangerous formations. They are really dangerous, powerful enough to wipe away in a single strike.

Everything was good for a few minutes before a problem appeared.

The path that was supposed to be in front of me was covered by tens of energy beams. They look dangerous and I don't want to fly over them; I won't be able to defend if they were to attack me.

I looked around and thought for a few seconds before beginning to retrace my steps back.

It is not the only route I have; it was safest, but not anymore.

A mile and a half later, I stopped and turned left, before started moving ahead, avoiding any danger that came in the way.

For nearly an hour, everything was well, before I saw something truly dangerous. A Grimm, and not a normal Grimm either, but a Sky Sovereign Grimm.

For a second, I was shit scared seeing it, before noticing it and I are following a completely different path. It could come at me, but I don't think it dumb enough to do it.

Here, both are moving with our power contained. A spillage could activate all sorts of formations around us.

I resumed moving and there was more confidence. When I saw it was following its own path instead of moving toward mine.

"You are a very lucky native. If we weren't in this place, you would be dead right now," It said.

"You could try," I challenged the Horned Crockman, and it glared at me fiercely before walking away. 

I continued with my journey, keeping an eye on it, till it disappeared from my view and only then I heaved a sigh of relief.

I might have looked confident facing the Grimm, but I was shit scared. It was freaking Sky Sovereigns, a being who could kill me in a single attack.
