Monster Integration (Web Novel)

I stayed hidden and didn't even breathe as I tracked the Grimm coming toward me.

It is moving fast, getting away from the natives. It had been fighting. It is quite injured, but still moving fast.

Well, I am not surprised. If it didn't have this much strength, it wouldn't have been able to finish the three challenges of the temple of Irudin.

Hun!

Twenty-seven seconds passed when I moved. I used every bit of the strength and within a moment, crossed over a hundred meters, appearing directly in front of the Bullman.

I was surprised. It had been expecting the enemy to come from behind, not from the front, especially when there was a powerful soul sense guiding it.

"You"

Puch!

It was only able to let out a single word before my spear pierced inside it and sent a large amount of energy inside, crushing all its defenses, before pulling the Bullman inside.

"Hehe!"

I grinned, not to the Bullman. It had already disappeared, but the one whose soul sense covered the large area.

It was Peak Earth-Sovereign, like the one, I had just killed, but with a bloodline that I couldn't match. It had been watching from a distance, which was a mistake. If it had come to rescue it or had come a little closer, I wouldn't have dared to do this.

Here, with a distance between it and me, I did.

I could tell it was angry, not because I had killed it, but because I had entered its soul range and even killed the Grimm inside it, while it was unable to discover me.

'I Will Kill You!'

It roared at me through the soul sense, while the grin on my face became even bigger hearing that.

'You will have to catch me first,' I replied to it and began to move.

This time, I didn't care about the stealth, only speed. I moved fast. I need to move fast. The bastard was really fast, and it was catching up to me and the only thing that made me relieved was the things ahead.

Three minutes and seventeen seconds later, it stopped at the invisible boundary.

"A regret," I said with a sigh, before reducing my speed and moving ahead with the normal speed. I didn't get too close to those hiding or even nod at them; there was no need to show off.

I had already revealed some of my talent attacking in the stealth.

I have crossed the blockade and now entered the area controlled by the natives. It had taken me two days to reach here; I would have come in the day, but the blockade and also because I hunted the Grimms.

I had found quite a lot of Grimms with the bloodline, and they made my strength rise and lot.

It is the reason why; I was able to kill the Bullman in a single attack. Though its injuries have also played a good part in it.

A few minutes passed, and I came across more and more natives hiding stealthily. The Grimms might have formed a blockage, but if they dared to come inside the area controlled by the natives, they would pay the heavy price.

A few minutes passed and natives became more visible; they were alert and patrolling the area.

Fuck!

From there, it didn't take me long to see the camp and it couldn't help but surprise me.

The camp is an artifact, or rather the wall covering it and forming the dome over it. If what I am sensing is right, then it is a Sky Sovereign level; Grimms will find it hard to break it if a sufficient number of the Sky Sovereigns are powering it.

'No wonder they didn't attack directly,' I thought.

Soon, I reached its massive red doors; they were metallic and gave me a scary feeling.

I didn't make any unnecessary movements and activated my badge. The projection of Tor's emblem appeared above it.

I felt many badges scanning it.

I may have shown the badge, but I didn't reveal my identity. I kept it anonymous. Though it is temporary, their badges have recorded the unique signature of my badge and will know about the organization.

However, they will need to make an application for it and not always, the organization accept the application.

If it had been normal time, I would have revealed my identity to other members, but it had become sensitive after a visit to the temple. Even now, many people are searching for those who have gone to the temple.

Speaking of which, I have got another coin.

It is a wooden one, and that made it four. I have five crystal and metal ones each.

There might not be many people who entered the seventh challenge, but many people have survived the first three challenges and thus have the coin. I have gotten a few of them from the Grimms I had killed.

It made me quite happy.

Those coins are very important to me. Especially wooden ones: I could forge many things with them and use them in alchemy. I could even use the essence of it in practice, but I wouldn't do that.

It would be wasteful.

Hun!

I was in my thoughts when the door opened, but I didn't directly enter the other side. No, I had gone to the room, where I had been asked questions for nearly an hour, including the information on the Grimms.

I have provided them; they were surprised seeing how detailed it is.

I wonder how they would have reacted if I had provided them with full details. Which they will receive in a few hours; I had hidden a crystal with information on the Grimms.

I wouldn't have done that, but our condition is quite precarious here. They need as much as information, possible to deal with the threats of the Grimms.

"Welcome to ring camp," said the Bear Beastwomen, and the door opened, revealing the camp inside, or rather a small city.

The sheer number of people here surprised me. I didn't think so many of here. I wouldn't have been, if the Grimms hadn't created the blockage, but so many people were able to gather here, despite the blockade.

It made me relieved and small appeared on my face; the things wouldn't be easy for the Grimms, as they might have expected.

I looked at the whole view of the city before I entered inside.

The camp is huge and has a powerful dome covering it. So, even if the Grimms, avoided every powerhouse for the sneak attack. They wouldn't succeed in it; this dome would stop them.

I walked inside the city and could see abodes everywhere.

There are not only private above but also public ones. They are part of the artifacts and people are living in them.

Usually, people wouldn't live in places like this, where someone could spy through them, but here some of them doing that, because if the attack came.

These buildings are part of the artifacts and will protect them. They are the strongest things here. Barely any abodes could compare them in the defense.

I have no interest in sacrificing my privacy.

I took out my abode, which transformed into a single-story house. It looked beautiful, but so are most of the abodes.

There is nothing special about it, even when one scans it with their soul sense.
