Monster Integration (Web Novel)

The strengthening energy is completely absorbed by my body, and at a speed, that is much faster, than I had thought.

All these treatments had made my body hungry. The moment strengthening energy appeared; it had absorbed it all like a parched river.

My power is sealed, but I could feel the increase and for a moment, I felt like I should get out of hiding and fight Sovereign. The thought only lasted for a fraction of seconds, before I got control over it.

These thoughts are bad, especially in a place like this, where Sovereign is fighting only a few miles away.

I took a couple of deep breaths and carefully looked at the advancement I had got. It made me smile, but soon my expression turned serious. When I calculated the number of Grimms, I would need to kill to reach the limit.

It is that or taking a slow road.

I will kill any Primary-III, Grimm I had come across till I find the exit.

The growth energy is still continuing in my core, and it will take a little more than a minute for it to finish. I have used only seven plants and they are growing nicely producing the resources, that the formation surrounding immediate harvesting.

It is quite a good formation, and after the breakthrough; it is going to get even better.

I have worked quite hard on it with all the data I have got from seeing it work.

Soon, the growth energy disappeared, and I turned to other important things, before that, I focused on battle. Which still had not ended, both of them fighting intensely with the red-haired woman suffering a couple of injuries.

It had become quite hard to tell who will win. So, I didn't even try.

I looked at the battle for a couple of seconds before focusing on the two things in front of me. The storage bands of Grimms, I am sure, would have a lot of resources, but aside from that, I will be looking for one other thing.

It is more important than even the resources.

I looked at them before tapping my finger on the ground. As I did it, the stuff from both of the storage rings came out.

As I looked at it, my eyes couldn't help but widen in shock.

I had expected a lot of resources, seeing what I had collected in less than a day, but what I am seeing still shocked me. There are a lot of a colossal number of resources, many times more than what I had found in the Sovereign's storage.

It couldn't even compare to what I am seeing in front of me.

It took me a couple of seconds to calm myself down and when I did, two of my clones appeared in front of me and we begin to sort out the resources.

We will identify them before boxing them in appropriate storage.

We are very fast; my clones had even taken out the formation. It is the new one; I am going to add to my inheritance. Currently, we are going to use the disk.

Buzz!

The formation activated, and instantly it spread over all the resources. Four seconds later, 32% of resources were lifted and sorted, before fitting into appropriate boxes.

The Grimms had done that, but I am double-checking their work. Which is a wise thing, because there had been a few mistakes. The formation had fixed them before sending the boxes to their appropriate places.

"Found it," I said as I looked at the red crystal.

I have looked at hundreds of memory crystals; some of them had great information, but were useless to my immediate purpose, until this one.

It is a map and quite a big one; it is of this ruin as marking area clear. I am also sure it is not the one who had drawn it; looking at proof it is a collective map, made with the aid of many people.

The map is big, and it is incomplete in seeing many parts, which is what makes me believe it is a collective map.

Still, the map of the surrounding area is complete; it might take me days or weeks to explore it all, given how dangerous this ruin is.

I handed the crystal over to my clones to decipher the words in the Grimm language. I am getting good at it with the help of my clones, but it will take some more time before I will be able to perfect it.

The universal Grimm language is a lot more complex than in my world.

Thankfully, my clones have found a set of restricted knowledge from sovereign storage. It is only available for members of the organization at the Sovereign level and now it is mine.

A couple of seconds later, I found another crystal with identical information.

This one belongs to the second Black-Scaled Lizardman. My clones compared the data from both crystals for any discrepancies, but did not find anything.

In the next minute, I found a few more crystals, but those have even less data than the first two. Soon, I have finished with all the resources, crystal, and other things, the Grimms have.

"Wow," I said as I appeared in the vault.

A day ago, I was one poor bastard and now, a couple of floors of the vault had been completely filled. When I entered the ruin a few hours ago, I planned to gather this many resources in my time here.

I gathered them on the first day.

If I had survived here, even a week, I would have even more resources and the only thing I have had to do was safely get out of here.

With these resources, I cannot make a breakthrough but also finance treatment, till Mid-Level of Primary III, which is a lot.

As all these resources are Sovereign grade and some of very expensive.

Hun!

I was looking at the battle when a change occurred. The Black Scale Lizardman had started to run away. It happened after the red-haired woman landed a near killing blow on it.

The red-haired woman chased it immediately.

Running away is quite a risky thing to do. As they wouldn't be in the stealth field; it will make monsters discover you, especially when you try to run away without using the stealth method.

Or running away at such speed that it makes a stealth method obsolete.

I had thought that when a monster saw them. A bird monster immediately went toward them. Unfortunately, I didn't see what happened next, as they increased their speed.

Nero is not Sovereign; his speed had a limit.

'Don't follow them,' I asked Nero. It is useless at his speed.

Seeing them disappear, I wanted to escape from my hole, but I stayed. A Grimm might return and if it saw me, it will be game over for me.

The hiding spot had its own dangers. If it had a very search method, it might discover me, but it is a risk I am willing to take. Especially when the chances of it returning are quite low.

The red-haired girl clearly had the edge.
