Monster Integration

"I wish I could take more," I said as the clone tested its quality and it was amazing.

I have some blood-soul crystals, but their quality is far lower and so is their grade. It is an important resource for my practice, and I only had a few months' worth of it.

This will solve the problem; I will dilute it and calibrate the whole formula to match it, but it won't be a problem.

I am just tremendously happy getting it and sad that I couldn't take more of it.

I shook my head and walked toward the door. I stopped as I reached the door and readied all the formations to burst into full power at a moment's notice.

Though the chances of Grimms appearing are low considering barely a minute passed since I had gone there, I couldn't take the risk.

Click!

I opened the door and my soul sense spread in all directions.

The further it spread; the bigger a smile could appear on my face. In a few seconds, I became sure there was no Grimm or native waiting for me and thus moved, with stealth, covering me.

I am not going back to the red door yet. I am going to another place, which has the resource I want.

I really wanted to go back and take another blood-soul crystal and I could. I still have three points, but I need other thing just as important as it. I couldn't spend two points here.

I could have gone back to the broken building, but even going there, I would need to wait.

My clones are solving the formation, and they would need time to do it. It will be a waste if I spend it waiting there, it is better if I use it to get the resources I want and even kill a Grimm or two.

Who knows, I might get lucky and come across the Grimm with a bloodline and the one who also had the key.

I pushed those thoughts with a smile and focused on the road ahead of me. In a few minutes, I would reach the field of broken formations, which I plan to cross.

I reached there in twenty minutes, and I needed another thirty-five minutes to cross the field of broken formations.

Once again, I increased my speed and continued toward my destination.

A little more than an hour passed, when I had sensed the fighting between a native and two Grimms.

Hun!

All three of Peak Earth-Sovereigns. So, I decided to not interfere and moved, when I suddenly stopped and moved toward the battlefield, and within a few minutes, I could see the battle.

A Red Stone Skin man is fighting against two Blue-Horned Snakemen. He is quite strong, seeing the way he is defending and attacking.

'Though it didn't look like he would be able to defeat them or get away soon enough,' I thought, confirming my earlier suspicion.

The reason I had come.

A minute later, I began moving again, at a much slower speed than before, and got as close as I could, before stopping at a hidden spot and started working on the Grimms.

Two and a half minutes later, I walked out of my hidden spot and revealed my aura.

"Need any help?" I asked the Red Stone Skin man. "I would very much appreciate it," he replied, smiling, I moved toward them.

The Grimms didn't come at me, but I felt their focus on their soul sense on me and blasting powerful auras from their bodies. 

As I reached the hundred meters from them, the Snakeman on the left turned and come at me, but was stopped by the Stone Skin man.

I was relieved seeing that. I had asked him to do that.

I had targeted the right one and if the left one had attacked me, I would have been a great trouble. I am not a match for them, even with my increased strength.

It is why, I first used my strings and then revealed myself, and even then, it was a risk.

If the stone skin, man hadn't been powerful enough, I would have been a serious trouble.

I moved to the Grimm on the right, and it turned toward me, with a grin on its face. Not sensing it, is its own doom coming toward it.

"You have made a grave mistake coming, native," it said, swinging its black saber at me. I moved my spear toward it, and it was much slower than the Snakeman's, which has increased its confidence even more.

I could see the suspicion in its eyes, but it got buried in the confidence.

My saber and sword moved closer and closer, till there was an inch distance between the two, when it suddenly slowed down.

My spear and I moved ahead while it watched in horror. It activated its full power to move faster, but it seemed like it was useless as its speed couldn't increase despite increasing the power.

It really tried and the power it was trying to project was highest in any enemy I had bound with my strings, but even that wasn't enough.

My strings aren't something that could be broken. They are immensely powerful and have the capability to absorb and seal, along with restricting the movements.

There is no way, an Earth Sovereign would be able to get out of it once caught by it.

At least someone of a similar power as it.

Puch!

My spear reached it and pierced through its chest; a look of unwillingness appeared in its eyes, and it remained till I pulled it into my core.

Not everything went inside my core; there was something that remained. A white key, with a numeric one written on it.

A smile couldn't help but appear on my face as I took the key before putting it into a pocket.

After pocketing the key, I turned to the stone-skinned man and saw it dominate the Grimm, who was trying to run away.

"Best of luck," I said and began to walk away from the battlefield. He is capable of handling the Grimm alone. If he needs my help, he would ask about it, like he did earlier.

He didn't.

In a few minutes, I walked out of the range of the battlefield toward my destination.

Hun!

I was walking toward it when suddenly, I stopped. My clone had opened the storage and there were things, a lot of things.

Things including two, not one blood-soul crystal, but it is not what I am looking at. I am looking Morij-Sal water, the thing I wanted from my next destination.

I found it in the storage of Grimms, along with a few other things which are found in many buildings.

There is no way I would go to a destination now unless I want more morij-sal water or other eleven things there, which I don't.

At least not enough to spend the key points, which could be used for getting other things.

There are hundreds of such buildings here and things in them I want.

So, I opened the information and asked my clone to find the next spot for me and soon it found it and I had enough points to get the thing inside.
