Monster Integration (Web Novel)

"This is the bastard that nearly ate me; it is because of it that I was able to find the vestige," said Rhea. I have seen the footage from her memories, and she was not exaggerating even a bit; this monster had nearly succeeded in eating her.

It was due to its attack that the ground had collapsed, and the vestige had been revealed. So, we should be thanking it for it, but I don't think it will bring our thanks.

"It seemed like we have to deal with this monster to enter the vestige," said Lady Yui and was about to step toward it when she stopped.

"Do you want to deal with it, Grandmaster?" she asked, to which I nodded. "It is a very powerful monster, Micheal; it is best if you let the Lady Yui handle it," said Rhea.

"I will be fine," I said with a smile and walked out of the ribbon globe; usually, I did not fight with monsters, just kill them, but this is worthy; it is very powerful, as powerful as some of the Grimms, I have fought in the ruin.

As I came out from the stealth ability, my armor became thick, and four arms came out of me. These string arms are thicker than the normal arms I use, and each arm holds a square shield that looks like a huge piece of the puzzle, and it is considering all four pieces are part of a single weapon.

They could be connected, which would immediately increase their power.

I have found this puzzle shield in the storage of the vidette, which means it is good stuff. The vidette did not keep many things in their storage, considering most of the things were useless to them, and few things they kept could be said to be amazing.

These shields are amazing, and they are perfect against an enemy like this one, which now had finally sensed me.

ROOOAR!

A defeaning roar rang out, and a huge, about forty-five meters long monster appeared in front of me as if it had just teleported.

The ape monster in front of me has luminescent white fur and a black crystal covering thickly around its palms. Through the visual, I know how powerful this ape monster is, and it couldn't help but make me excited.

ROOOAR!

It roared once again and punched toward me; the punch was fast, so much that I wouldn't be able to see it if I did not have a crown on my head, and this punch was filled with raw power.

First Burst + Second Burst + Third Burst

I did not move from place, which I should have done if I had been smart. Instead, I activated all three bursts, and my four arms moved and appeared in front of me while the squire puzzle shields connected to each forming a perfect rectangular shield.

BANNNG!

A punch filled with raw physical power struct against my shields, shaking from up to down and nearly sending me flying, and it was not all that was present in the attack.

My armor had lit up luminously as the tide of wild luminous energy came at me. It was powerful, but I had already prepared defenses for it; otherwise, it would have done a lot more than just lighting up my armor.

"A good punch, ape, but far from enough to do anything to me; you need to hit me harder if you want to injure me," I said as I stabilized my footing in the air.

ROOOOAR!

I don't know whether it understood me or not, but it had made it angry, and it pushed toward me again this time, its punch held a lot more power, and even black crystals covering its palms were shining faintly.

BANNNNG!

The punch once again crashed against my shields with raw physical power, but unlike before, it was not able to make me take a step back; I only shook on my spot; it is the same with my armor, which only light faintly absorbing a lot more wild luminescent energy.

I wanted to fight this monster, not because it is strong but also became I have made some big changes to the defensive formation.

I wanted to test it against it before I went against the Grimms, who had inspired me to create the move. I have been fighting against them daily, and it had quite irked me that I was not able to kill them, not a single one of them.

With this defensive upgrade, I was planning to get close to them, which would give me a better chance to kill those bastards.

"It did not even tickle me; you should try harder," I teased, but at the very next moment, my eyes became serious as the eyes of the monster turned red, and the black crystal blazed as the powerful aura burst out of the monster.

Feeling the might of the aura, I nearly took a step back unconsciously before I was able to stop myself.

ROOOOOAR!

It roared deafeningly with raging anger and punched as its black fist radiated brighter and brighter; it felt like it was a black hole sucking up all the light in its surrounding.

"Bring it on!" I shouted as my armor became thicker and my armor bigger, and I powered the shields with every ounce of energy I had.

BANNNNNG!

Its blazing first crashed against my shields, and I was sent back flying while vomiting the blood. It is a good thing that our earlier clashes had destroyed the trees around, or I would have been crashing through them right now.

I had been sent back for quite a while before, but I was able to stabilize myself, stopping short of crashing against the tree, but that relief had lasted for a moment before the ape appeared in front of me phantom, and its blazing punch teleported right in front of my shields.

BANNNNNG BANNNNNG BANNNNNG

Its punch landed on my shield once again, and I basted through the tree and tens of others behind it while vomiting the blood. The bastard followed me like a phantom and punched me repeatedly without giving me a moment of rest.

I did not even get time to stabilize before I got punched again and again, and the punches of this bastard were getting stronger and stronger by second; that sheer physical force contained in them was tearing my internals apart.

If I did not have the powerful healing abilities, my conditions would have been much worse.

This bastard is really good; even with all my battles with the Grimms of this ruin, I have never been injured as this one is injuring me, and my injuries are getting worse and worse with each punch.

While in my core, my clone is moving around the runes. It is getting all the data it needs to test out the defensive measure and now making the adjustment according to it. If it were not for that, I wouldn't be getting punched to the pulp.

Even if my speed was not great as it, I would have still been able to dodge the attack with the aid of my abilities, but no, I could not do that; I would have to bear its punches till my clone was finished with its adjustments.

I hope it will be quick; this is really getting in on my nerves.
