Monster Integration

I moved through the way shown on the map, changing the route only when it was necessary or when there was a Grimm nearby, like what I was doing right now.

Hun!

A minute and a half passed, and I walked by the large formations when suddenly a massive black figure appeared in front of me.

A Snakeman with black scales and black pupils. It was assassin-type and good. If I had been Sovereign, I wouldn't have been able to sense it.

The formation already masks its signature, and, with its powerful stealth, it would have been even harder to detect. Earlier, with my extra-long soul waves, I haven't discovered it along with a few others.

The soul waves need to be powerful to be discovered by the enemies like this.

Pachack!

"Another kill!" said the Grimm and moved its hands to collect my body, when its expressions changed, and it looked down.

The illusion of me cut into two faded, revealing the realm behind me, whose sword is now piercing through its chest. I smiled at it, before pulling the body into my core and moving ahead.

I am at the near exit, in half an hour, I will get out. Then it will be a few hours of journey before I reach the gate.

There are some troubles happening there. From the conversations, I snooped. Some people had run out of there.

A minute passed, and the Snakeman turned to dust, with its essence rose being stored with the others. It didn't have a bloodline, but it was not without the benefits.

I have stored its storage, and I will open them with the rest when this is all over.

I am quite excited about it. The Sky Sovereigns are powerful, and their storages are filled with these things. Now that I have reached the Earth Sovereign, there are a lot more things to do, I will need a lot of things.

Grimms, as always, will play a big part in providing me with that.

Fifteen minutes passed when I reached close to Grimms. Grimms, to be exact; there are three of them and one had a bloodline.

I appeared behind them and waved my hand, pulling them into my core.

It is not just the Sky Sovereigns Grimms in here hunting for the natives. There are quite a lot of Earth Sovereigns too and I am killing them, or rather pulling them directly in my core, where they suffer the most painful death.

Rustle!

After a few seconds, the Grimms turned into dust, and the tree rustled, releasing the growth energy.

All of it went to the new seedlings that my clones are planting. They have already planted thousands of them and planting more.

I didn't even accept the strengthening essence and didn't plan to. My share will be divided and there will be more growth energy; it matters the most right now.

Soon, there were less than ten minutes remaining before the exit and my expressions turned serious as I looked at what was waiting out there. There are Grimms, over twenty of them, with seven being Sky Sovereign.

They are in the immediate rage. Right outside the exit.

The Grimms bastards sealing the exits, wanting to kill anyone get out of here. Just like they are doing with the gates.

It is why, a lot of Earth Sovereigns and a few Sky Sovereigns natives are hanging near the exit. Close to the dangerous formations, where even Grimms didn't dare to mess around.

Minutes passed, and I reached near the exit.

"Wait!" said the voice, I turned and saw an old four-armed man taking a step from the small wall. It didn't move too far away from it; it remained in its range so that it could still hide his signature.

"There are a lot of Sky Sovereigns outside," he informed. "I know," I replied, and a smile leaked from my face, even when I didn't want to.

Of the seven Grimms, most I have the confidence to deal with, but there is one that will prove to be a challenge. There are also the Grimms close to the other exits; I will need to finish the battle sooner before any others notice what happens.

There is another option. I could simply run away.

I am confident, that if I run. Even their fastest would have a hard time catching me, but I don't want to do that.

I had just leveled up, and I wanted to fight, no matter the risk. I know it is dangerous, but my heart is unwilling to listen to my mind.

Soon, I reached the exit. There is only one formation in front of me; the moment I crossed it. I will be out and the Grimms waiting outside will attack immediately.

I took a move slowly, aware of the sneaky soul senses of the Grimm watching my every step. They are ready for me.

I stopped before sprinting at a fast speed, and just as I passed the formation. My feet left the ground, and I sped away at an incredibly fast speed.

"Kill it!" Lizardman ordered from above.

Immediately, a Werewolf and Ratman become visible to my left and right. They are fast and rapidly begin to catch me; I move faster, but they are faster than me.

It took them just one and a half seconds to reach my left and right.

"Thank you for the snack!" said Ratman and attacked with its saber, same time the Werewolf attacked me with its claws.

I pushed myself faster while the sword appeared in my hand, but it was clear at the look that I wouldn't be able to defend against the single attack, much less the two of them.

Their weapons came closer and closer, till they were inches away from me.

"Watch out!" a warning came from the Lizardman, and a powerful bloodline aura blasted from it. It shot toward me at full speed, and I have to say, I am impressed. Unfortunately, it won't be able to reach me in time.

Puch Puch

The shout of warning made the two Grimm alarm immediately, and they moved to act but found out they couldn't.

When they looked down, they saw two spears piercing into their chest. They don't have an idea how they had appeared in there; they didn't even sense it.

These two were too confident; they should have been more careful. Not that it would have helped them. The difference in our strength is big enough that even with all the cautiousness, the result would have been the same.

I removed the spears from their chests and pulled them into my core, before turning to the Lizardman stopped in front of me.

I thought it would attack me, but it didn't. Instead, it is looking at me.

The lizardman is as big as the other Grimms. Over eight meters tall, with amethyst crystalline scales all over its body. Its bloodline armor is also amethyst and looks like it is carved out of the amethyst crystals.

It had a saw blade in its hand. It is a simple metallic, even looked rusted, but I have no doubts about its powers.

"You shouldn't have killed them," said the Lizardman after a second of silence. "And let them kill me?" I asked back, to which it nodded.

"It would have saved you, the painful fate you are going to suffer now," it replied and attacked.
