Monster Integration

"They have cleaned this place whole," I said as I looked at the area that had been occupied by the bees.

It is completely cleaned. That not even that dangerous sting remained.

The monsters are messy most of the time, but sometimes, they become the world's best cleaners. I am a little disappointed, but happier, seeing the density of the monsters returned to normal.

As the waves returned, I started moving toward my destination.

An hour passed and then another, I continued with my journey. Stopping every few minutes and one time, I had even jumped into my abode, thinking the monsters had discovered me.

It didn't, it had come near me to eat herbs.

Still, it remained close, and I needed to stay in my abode for nearly ten minutes before I was able to leave.

Every minute is a struggle here with the powerful monsters everywhere. I also spotted people, a pair of them; they seemed to be searching for something with a map in their hands.

If they had been Earth Sovereign, I might have followed them, but they were Sky Sovereigns, and I didn't want to mess those.

I could barely escape. I rather not be captive again.

"I had made a good time," I said as I stopped beside the massive rune, filled with the broke formation.

Hesyv field.

It is huge, with broken formations everywhere, but one could pass through them.

It wasn't on my plan; my original plan was to move around it, which would take a lot of time. So, I decided to send some special extra-long soul waves. They returned, providing me enough information to know, I could walk through it.

It wouldn't be without risk, but it isn't surprising to see this place filled with risk. These broken formations would add something a little extra to it.

The projection of the broken field appeared in front of me, with multiple silvery lines, that branch and connect each other. These lines are the ways, through which I could walk out of this field.

I looked at it for a few seconds before moving ahead, walking in the most optimal way, my clone had found out.

This place is huge, and I had used special waves, that strained my soul. I usually wouldn't do it, but this way will save me a day, considering if go around it, I would other side tomorrow.

I do not want to waste so much time, when I could pass it, by the evening.

It is not a risk many would take, considering these formations could kill even Sky Sovereigns rather easily, but those people didn't have my abilities despite their immense power.

My abilities are suited to pass through this place.

Minutes passed and turned into an hour. I have avoided hundreds of broken formations, most of them are unmoving, while some are moving.

I would continuously send the waves and, depending on the data, my clones would decide whether I should continue with the route or change it.

A few minutes passed, and I stooped. A hundred-some meters away from me is a massive wall, as tall as the tower. It is not the first time; I have come across such a tall wall and won't be last.

However, it did make me curious about this place.

There are many ruins in the forest, and there is information about them. Some are detailed, while this place didn't have more than a few lines most of which are vague.

Some say it is a palace of important figures, while others hinted that it used to be an important training facility. The information provided to me by the alkaz member didn't have any information about it.

There is only one mention of it on the map. A name, Ekan Palace.

I don't care much, I only thought about it with mild curiosity. I would be more than satisfied as long as I reach the other side safely.

Hun!

Suddenly, I stopped and moved a hundred and twenty meters back; a moment later, I saw tens of broken formations floating away from the place I had been.

Most of the dangers could be avoided before they hit, but some like these are spontaneous. It was the third one in the past ten minutes; this one was the safest of all three.

The last one nearly touched me.

A few seconds later, I resumed my journey, and I didn't change my route. The danger had passed, there was no need to worry about a.

Hun!

Another hour passed, and after a few minutes, when I stopped, and slowly moved toward the left. I didn't have to walk for long, just two hundred and thirty meters, when I stopped and crouched down.

I picked up a tiny piece of rusted-looking metal, with the runes carved on it.

It is not even the side of my thumb, but seeing it, my eyes couldn't help but light up in joy.

"I wanted you for a long time," I said with a smile.

It is a drirun metal, an extremely rare metal. There is a standing request in the organization from me for this metal. Only one person responded, and they wanted an equally rare thing, which I didn't have.

It might look like a small piece, but it is more than enough for my needs. It could be said that this single find had made this dangerous journey worthwhile.

I looked at it for a few seconds, before putting in it my core.

From what I could see it is pure drirun metal. It has some rust and faded runes, but it won't take long for my clone to clean it all.

I went back to the place, sensed the metal, and resumed my journey.

Half an hour passed as I crossed hundreds of broken formations. Picked up things that interested me and avoided the danger.

Hun!

I was walking, with little excitement, as with a few hundred meters more and I would reach halfway to this place, when I stopped mid-step, before gently putting my foot down.
