Monster Integration

I nearly stopped in my tracks.

I had not expected to find the cultist in a group of non-cultist or at least non-beast god colitis.

I quickly cleared my emotions and focused on whether she discovered me. I looked at the petal in front of a new addition to see the changes on the face, while the petals entered the body.

Some people are very good at hiding the reaction. It could end very badly for me.

I looked at the expression that petal recorded and there was not a slightest change on her face. I didn't see it, nor my clones or the formation, that is specific to read the facial expression.

So, I could fairly say, that she didn't discover me.

So inserted the petal inside her again in case there was a mistake, but got the same reaction.

There are eighteen petals in total, connected to each other by formation. While inserting all provide the best result, a single one is more than capable of providing the accurate result.

I quickly moved to the other two, and they liked the rest of the three, aren't cultists of beast god cult.

It made me even more curious about this group, that instead of attacking them. I begin to follow them; there is another reason for following them and that is that I don't want to fight six of them.

They all feel above average, and I might have gone for them, but I am well aware of how this above-average strength can transform into Grade 2 or even Grade 3.

The others might be cultist and have their own trump cards and I rather not take the risk before I am fully sure.

It is why, five seeds came out of me.

I am going to target them all except for the members of the beast god cult.

A few minutes passed, and the first seed entered the horned woman and immediately, her meta-scan appeared in front of me, getting clearer every second.

In half a minute, I had her complete meta-scan in front of me.

I am pretty sure, that she is not a cultist or doesn't belong to a hundred-some cults, whose markers my seed could recognize.

I left the seed inside her body and inserted the second seed into the beastman, who is also not a cultist. The same for the human and the half-elf that came after him.

Hun!

I thought the fifth person would be the same, but to my surprise, the half-elf is a cultist. It is quite a surprise, I thought that except for the divine beast members, all of them were regular powerhouses.

It made the whole thing, even more curious to me.

An hour and a half passed, and I was getting a little impatient. I had already decided that if the cultists didn't act, I would take action.

Now, I didn't have to fear the numbers either. I could incapacitate all with a single thought.

Hun!

A few more minutes passed. When suddenly they changed the direction. A map appeared in front of them, with the cultist showing the destination.

I looked at that destination on my map; it was barely an hour away.

This place used to have one of the biggest treasured grounds a few thousand years ago, but some formations inside have gone haywire and turned everything into dust in a massive explosion.

So, it could be said, that there is nothing there now, but the cultist is saying she had found something.

It is likely she had gathered these people saying that and offered a share of the treasures for their help. It was what most people do when they found things that they couldn't get with their efforts.

These people aren't idiots; they have become careful of each other, but I don't think, anyone would have guessed that the person with the second weakest aura is a sheep in wolf's clothing.

They moved, and I followed them, feeling a little excited about what was to come.

I didn't have to wait for long, twenty-two minutes after they had changed direction. The cultist acted and I have to say, I am impressed.

They were just moving, with many cautious, when suddenly those tattoos materialized. She attacked, and in quick succession, she pierced her blade into the enemy; the blade was covered in a substance, that made them weak in their knees within a second.

They were in shock when it moved to the other two who were running together and dealt with them, before turning to half the elf, who shouted the name of his cult, whose phantom appeared behind him.

"I hate cultists," she said with a grin and appeared in front of him, the next instant.

The half-elf tried to defend, but there was a huge difference in their strength. He was not able to stop her from decapitating him.

I thought she would incapacitate him, but she killed him. It turned out, that Irmatis didn't want a member of other cults for whatever they were planning to do.

The tattoos disappeared, and she quickly stored the dead bodies and turned to four, incapacitated.

She brutally and efficiently made them unconscious before picking them up with her energy and moving ahead.

The way she did it, made it clear, that it was not her first time doing this.

A few minutes later, she stopped at the hidden place and took out the abode before taking the bodies inside. She stayed there for a few minutes and when she came out, she was a completely different person.

She is shorter than before, with stone horns and purple scales covering her body.

"I have to say, I am mighty impressed by your work," I said as I stepped out of the trees. She reacted immediately, with her rapier appearing in her hand and tattoos materializing over her skin.

"How long you have been following me?" she asked, fully alerted. "Long enough to see what you did," I replied with a smile.
