Monster Integration (Web Novel)

"Father, let me help you!"

I was desperately searching for a way to deal with energy as it could breach inside me any second when a familiar voice rang inside me.

The next second, Nero got out of my core and entered my body before spreading inside me. It was just like when he was in his egg form; he covered my body and soul within a second and did not also begin to cover my armor and through it my shields.

As he did, he immediately started to suck the energy, seeing that I couldn't help but become surprised. These energies are extremely powerful, able to tear apart anyone who is not a Grandmaster, but Nero is sucking them all, and he is doing that at great speed.

Nero had informed me about his ability to eat the energy before, but it was no surprise to me as he was able to do that in his egg form and would naturally retain the ability when he broke out of it but still eating this energy is shocking, seeing it is from Grandmaster, and like me, Nero could be categorized being an Elite, the difference is too big.

A few seconds later, the blinding light covering my shield and myself began to dim rapidly till there wasn't any energy remaining in them.

"Thank you for snack, father," Nero said before he turned to his original shape and returned back inside my core.

"You Survived! How? It was an attack from Grandmaster," The Lionman asked with absolute shock in its eyes; it is shocked that its eyes have become big as saucers, and its mouth opened wide enough that I could easily stuff my sword inside it.

The thing it had attacked me with was called medallion of strength impartation. A very rare treasure that extremely few Grandmasters of the Grimm race could produce. In it, Grandmaster could store its power, and these things are usually given to the best prodigies of Grimm Race.

The only reason I had even survived the blow became it had already before. If it had attacked me with a fully charged medallion, there is no way in hell I would have survived the blow, much less remained alive to deal with an energy attack that came a moment later.

It seemed to have noticed something which made it instantly recover from its shock, and its eyes shone in cruelty.

"Hehe, whatever you used to survive had drained you; now you are just fish on the chopping board," The Lionman said with a laugh as it came at me, and it seemed to hold nothing back, seeing the power it is coming me with it.

My teammates also seemed to have noticed it was coming to kill me and moved to save me, but they were stopped by the Grimm Monsters except thirty-three, who easily evaded the Grimm Monsters trying to stop him.

Still, his speed is not fast enough; by the time he would reach me, the Grey Mane Lionaman would have already finished with me, and even if it could reach me before the Lionman, I don't think it is powerful enough to stop the attack of Lionaman.

The Lionman evaded my damaged shields and appeared in front of me with a huge smile on its face, "Die Human!" It said simply and attacked.

I could hear a familiar voice screaming my name in powerlessness as the Lionman attacked me, but his attack reached halfway, a strange thing happened which shocked all those who were watching, the Lionman which was attacking me with great momentum had frozen on the spot.

"You have used your chances to kill me, and now it is my turn!" I said with a voice that was full of strain and slowly moved my hand and touched the Lionman, which was frozen in its place and struggling intensely but not able to even an inch.

"It is time for you to die," I said softly and touched it; just as I did, it disappeared from my view and appeared in my core bound.

It is very hard to hold such a powerful Grimm Monster inside my core, and so, I did not waste even a second and summoned the runes, which came immediately. A few seconds later, the harvest began, and this time, the usual convection was being followed.

The energy is divided into four parts, Ashlyn, Nero, Mysterious being, and me. Half of which that had come to me went to the mysterious seed like always, which had turned dark green after absorbing a humongous amount of purified blessing earlier.

The result is a little disappointing to me as I had thought it might sprout after taking so much energy, but nothing of that sort happened.

"Don't worry about me; you guys focused on finishing these bastards," I said weakly to my teammates, who were looking at me in shock as the Grimm Monsters behind them.

I am completely drained, and if not for me still burning my essence, I would have fallen down already.

I hope these guys would protect me from the Grimm Monsters, at least for a few seconds. I am burning my essence at a very dangerous level and would not be liked to burn more in case of attacks. They just had to protect me for a few seconds; once I got the strengthening energy released, I would be able to deal with any danger that came me.

Seeing I was fine, my teammates went back to the Grimm Monsters; there were only four of them that had remained, and even if they were the strongest four, my teammates were more than enough to deal with them.

Seconds passed as my teammates began their intense attacks of Grimm Monsters that forgot to attack me; the Grimm Monsters huddled together, focused completely on their defense.

Buzz!

It took the runes thirty-six seconds to harvest the Lionman, which seconds on the outside and a second after that, the flood of strengthening energy released in my body. It is powerful with great quantity; even after seed taking half of it, it should be enough to help me recover up my burned essence and give me a small advancement.
