Monster Integration (Web Novel)

The monster in front of me is not only powerful but also beautiful. It is a wolf monster, white as snow, and has blue crystalline claws, which seem to shine under the sunny sun.

The wolf monster is not big; it is big as a lower knight-level monster. It is no giant that usually monsters of its level are, but it is, without doubt, stronger than them and would be much harder to deal with; I am sure of it.

Growl!

It growled at me and disappeared from its spot, and the next second it appeared in front of me with ferocious expressions and swiped those shining claws at me.

I could not let the claws touch me, not only because they were sharp and could tear my skin like butter but also show me heaven. I sensed extremly strong psychedelic energy, which would directly affect my soul and even body.

Now, that energy is going to hit me.

CLANG!

My sword moved and clashed against the monster's claw, and immediately, my eyes widened in surprise. As I shot back with the hammering force and a powerful burst of psychedelic energy came at me.

My totem artifact is a powerful weapon, and it immediately whittled away the 30% power of the attack before the energy hits me. I have never been thankful for the constitution seed as I am right now, as it begins to absorb the powerful psychedelic attack.

Still, this attack contains traces of law, and it was able to absorb some of it due to the influence of the rule-bending power it, but not all, and that hit my soul directly.

The 12% power of the attack hit me, and immediately, I felt like I am in heaven. I felt completely relaxed, and stars began to shine around me in colorful light. I even saw Marina walking toward me seductively, which is what gave me a moment of clarity under this powerful attack.

"Full power!"

I said to my clone, and the formation it was sitting on lit up like a blinding sun; my clone had already increased the power as the attack came and increased further, but I knew what I was feeling and instantly activated the formation at full power, not caring how much it will cost me.

At the same time, I began to circulate the soul-cleansing method as fast as I could and tried to try to go even faster. I begin to feel better immediately; though I am still under the influence, it will not affect my judgment.

Hun!

I had just come back in control when I felt a feeling of immense threat from behind; an attack was coming, and it targeting my neck.

"No, you won't!"

I shouted and spun while swinging my sword at the full power of the first burst.

This monster is strange and powerful; earlier, I had been caught off guard despite making all the preparation. The thing that caught me off guard was not its psychedelic attack, which I knew was going to be powerful; it was the physical attack that had sent me flying.

Its attack did not seem that powerful physically, but still, I used more than enough, wanting to dominate, but instead, it crushed my attack and sent me flying.

This time though, it won't happen.

CLANG!

My sword clashed against its claw, stopping it from going further, but still, the physical attack was so great that it shook me. Even the full power of the first boost is not enough to completely ward off its attack, not to mention the real danger is just behind.

The psychedelic attack came, and this time it was three times more powerful than before, but unlike last time, I was more prepared.

My clone used the data to make a few instant changes, and, most importantly, my armor had absorbed the energies of the last attack and grown stronger. The advancement in its hard defenses is minute; what more important is that once my armor absorbs the energy, it changes its defenses to resist that energy.

So, after absorbing the energy, it changes itself to resist this particular energy, and the more it absorbs the energy, the more powerful its specialized resistance will be.

Still, the attack was powerful without a doubt, and about 5% had still my soul, which was stronger than the last attack, but unlike the last attack, this time, I was prepared and used soul washing formation and soul cleansing method at full power.

Its effects made me relax and showed me stars, but this time, I did not get completely lost in it. I forcefully controlled myself through the hallucinations around me and swung my sword against the claw of the wolf.

CLANNG!

Once again, my sword clashed against its claws, creating the shockwave that spread far and wide, leveling the forest below us. The trees here are quite strong, but the power of High Grandmasters is not something they could resist; it had instantly razed the miles and miles below us.

I did not even glance at the destruction below me and instead focused on the attack that came at me.

My armor sword and armor had dealt with most of the attacks, but there were still some that we were able to stick me; about 4% power of this attack had stuck my soul and made the hallucination around me stronger for a moment before the soul washing formation and soul cleansing method begin to deal with.

As the threat of the psychedelic energy becomes greater, I am circulating the soul cleansing faster, which helps me get rid of the psychedelic energy faster.

To be honest, I have never thought much of soul cleansing methods, even the best ones; everyone practices them, and they are good, but they have great disadvantages. They take a lot of time; it took years before they show any effect, and one needs to constantly practice them.

Which makes it unsuitable for me with my speed of progress, and that view hasn't changed, but now looking at how it is helping me clean up the psychedelic energies.

I felt a newfound respect for it; it might not be much helpful to me in cleansing my soul, but it is very good in cleaning away harmful energy stuck to my soul, especially with the aid of soul washing formation, which is releasing dense waves of special cleansing every moment.

GROWL!

The wolf monster growled loudly in frustration as it had unable to land even a single attack on me. This frustration of it couldn't make me smile. The monster is strong with powerful abilities, but it is still a monster that does not have any experience in fighting humans.

I, on the other hand, have plenty of experience and made preparations to counter its abilities, which most High-Grandmasters will succumb to.

GROWL

"Little wolf, show me everything you have," I said in a challenge; it might not have understood my words but understood intention and growled loudly before leaping and disappearing and appearing directly above me silently without me sensing and swiping a sharp crystalline claw at me.

I swung my sword to meet its claw when suddenly alarm flashed into the eyes of the wolf monster, and it disappeared instantly and appeared a few hundred meters away and looked at me in burning anger.
