Monster Integration (Web Novel)

"The Aralas Grapes are extremly precious wine grapes, but they could not grow in our world due to the peculiar need of environment and nutrients they have," she said with a sigh as she put down the books.

"Do you say you have the seeds of aralas grapes?" I asked back. Aralas grapes are one of the best grapes for wine, extremly hard to grow even in the world who have the ability grow them and the thing is, they could be used for the other purpose than making wine.

"Yes, I had got them when I had raided a winery in one of the ruins I had visited, the bottles of wine I have found there had helped me get the lessons from Grandmasters and precious resources, which had awaken the bloodline I had hidden in me," She said.

Awakening of the bloodline is not simple as she said, but I have not interested in it currently. There is one thing I want from her that would be very helpful to me in my practice.

"Could you give me some of aralas grapes seeds?" I asked to offer her something good in return when she took out a small crystal bottle with black seeds in it.

"Take it, the seeds are as useless as the grapes are precious," She said and threw a crystal bottle at me. I grabbed the crystal bottle and saw there were twenty-one aralas grape seeds inside it; I am going to plant them in my core as soon as I level up.

"Since you got the seeds, hurry up and break the formation, we do not have all the time in the world," she said, seeing me staring at the seeds.

"Thank you for the seeds; I will give you something good when we return," I said before I went to pick up several books from the rubble of the other two bookshelves.

After I was done with the books, I started breaking the other stuff in the office, and there are lots of stuff in it, and it took time, more than we had expected to take, but we are still able to finish the time limit we have allowed ourselves.

"This manor had really good stuff; I wish we could take it all," Rhea said, and I couldn't help but nod to that.

There are still a few things that my runes are sensing, but unfortunately, I could not take them, we have a friend to save, and we have already wasted enough time here already and should be getting going as soon as possible.

"Let's go; Jim is waiting for us to rescue him," I said, and we climbed out of the second floor and reached the first floor before getting out of the manor.

We have become careful as we got out of the manor. Only three hours had passed since the battle was finished with the monster and Grimm grandmaster, and it might be still lingering in this area if it found us; it is game over for us.

We carefully walked through the overgrown garden, dealing with a few pests that attacked us as quickly as possible before opening its gates and getting out.

'The monster the Grimm fighting was really powerful,' Rhea said telepathically as she had activated her defenses and me my defensive shields.

We are walking through the field where one of the lightning attacks of the monster had landed. The whole area had become charged with powerful lightning that we could not pass through without defensive abilities.

We would not have dared to pass through such a dangerous place if not this way, saving us hours of time.

Before the battle, this was blocked by a very powerful broken formation which was destroyed. There are parts of it that are floating here and there, but as long we avoid it, we will be fine with our defensive method.

Hours passed, and soon, it had been a day since we had come to this ruin, and I have to say, it had been productive beyond my imagination.

I have found things that will help me extremly; aside from books it the gems I have found gave me greater hope. There are massive peculiar energies inside those gems, and I couldn't wait to investigate them.

It is clear that once upon a time, those gems were extremly powerful treasures, but over time, they have lost more than 99% of their energy. From the little investigation I did, I was able to see that these gems are not treasures that maintained their optimal condition.

Due to not being stored properly, they have lost a huge amount of energy, which is a very good thing for me. If they were in their peak condition, I don't think they would have been any use to me.

They would have been too powerful to be of any use to me. Even these gems, after losing so much energy, still contain a colossal amount of power, so I will have to be extremly careful when I use them.

'Stop!'

I suddenly stopped Rhea and hid behind the large collapse wall while asking her to activate her stealth ability. She looked at me in question, but I did not answer, and a few seconds later, her eyes widened up in surprise.

There are two Grimm Monsters coming in our direction, and like us like they are also traveling cautiously, avoiding any danger they have come across.

Both of them are also quite powerful and with commendable defensive abilities.. Their defensive abilities might not be compared to Rhea since she is a freak, but they are still pretty good, but it would not save them from me.
