Monster Integration (Web Novel)

"Rhea!"

I said in surprise; I was so busy dealing with dark ice assaulting me that I forgot her for a second but seeing her in her predicament, I did not waste even a moment to act.

Crackle Crackle Crackle

I immediately placed my hand on her shoulder, and thick dark ice which was covering her thickly, began melting at a visible speed that one and half a second later, there was no dark ice on her, and the one current is that is assaulting her was disappearing without touching her.

"Fuck! I had not thought the things would get such a serious turn within a second," Rhea said as she moved her hands and feet.

"Thank god, I have a freak such as you with me; otherwise, the dark would have turned into a corrosive popsicle," she said, still little shaken by the assault. "You are welcome, Rhea," I said to which she had just snorted.

"Do we have to walk like this?" She asked, looking at my hand on her shoulder. "No, we do not," I replied with a smile and removed my hands from her shoulder, but despite that, the silver radiance still covered her.

She looked a little surprised, but she did not say anything. I had my invisible strings connecting her, few of them more than enough to transfer this anti-corrosive radiance to her.

"It feels like old times, right, two of us walking in the realm that is full of danger," Rhea said after some time. "Yes, it really feels like that time," I said, remembering my first realm, which I had traveled with Rhea.

"We were so new and weak that even an ant-like monster had the power to crush us," I said, reminiscing the struggle we have faced there.

"Even though the realm was just a simple space bracket born out our world, nothing like this foreign world piece that got attached to our world."

"I have got one of my most cherished memories from there with people whom I could proudly call my friends," She said while looking at me.

"Yes, it had changed us for the better and gave us friends that we could rely on," I said with a smile. In that ruin, I have not only made Rhea my friend but also met Jill and her brother William.

Two more hours passed, in these two hours, we increased our speed; with the protection of the radiance, we dealt with the increased resistance of the dark ice.

Rhea had said that we were less than an hour away from getting out of the dark ice field, and I couldn't help but feel happy about it. I have grown quite tired of seeing barren landscapes with nothing that would excite me and nothing I could take.

"What is that?" I suddenly asked when I spotted something and lessened my speed before moving toward it.

"The bastard got quick death," Rhea said when we reached the thing we spotted. It is what remains of the Grimm Monster that is too slowly disappearing. If we had come an hour later, we would have not been able to find what we did.

I moved the rubble around with my strings and soon found the thing I was looking for, its storage.

The Grimm Monster that died is a Master class Tyrant without a Master always has good things in their storage. My strings picked up the storage band, and I placed it in my storage before we continued with our journey.

Forty more minutes have passed by, and I could finally see something that was not barren.

I see a forest, and I see buildings in it; some seem to be in great condition while others are completely collapsed state. I could also hear the noise; they definitely belong to Monsters, which are very powerful.

"Activate your stealth method; we will soon reach the boundary dark ice field," Rhea said, and a few minutes later, Rhea stopped and turned at me.

"Dark Ice Field was dangerous, but the places ahead are even more, from dangerous formations to the energies of thousands of years old attacks, there are also the monsters and Grimms, both have Grandmaster level powerhouses here,"

"It could be said that the whole place is littered with dangers, but they could be avoided as long as we are cautious and does fall to greed," Rhea said with a serious voice.

"Aye, aye, captain," I said, and she glared at me. "Just be cautious and don't be too greedy," She said and walked forward, and I followed behind her.

While I may sound like I am joking, I am not. I know how dangerous this ruin is; there is even proof of it killing Grimm Grandmaster, and those are very hard to kill and one of the dangers this ruin had.

While we did not have any Grandmaster to spare for this precious realm, the Grimms have, and they have at least sent three Grandmasters here according to our intelligence. They are extremely dangerous but so are the other dangers of the realm; it could be said to be one the most dangerous spatial realm, Ive come to.

Hun!

Finally, we got out of the dark ice field, and I immediately felt the change. The first is the constant assault of dark ice that would come at every moment constantly, and the second is very pure energy, far purer than the central continent.

Even purer than what I have experienced in any ruin or real. As my body came in contact with, every pore of it opened; it took it all.

"This purity is nothing; Jim and I had found a place where the purity of energy was so high that it was actually harming us," Rhea said to my shock before my eyes became excited.

It is a common truth that a place with high energy purity contains precious resources, and seeing the numerous experiments and my own appetite, I need a huge amount of resources. After saving Jim, I will ask Rhea to take me to a dense energy place.

"It is also the place where Jim got trapped.." She dropped the bomb.
