Monster Integration (Web Novel)

I stopped and looked at the sky above; it seemed like I need to find shelter.

The sky will start to darken in a few minutes, and I have to be at the shelter before it is completely night.

I could deal with energy for a few hours, but I couldn't deal with the powerful monsters, who started to come out when the sky starts to darken.

I am not going to search for a new shelter; I had found many of them in the past few hours and I am already moving toward the one which is closest and most secure.

The day went well; there had been a few hiccups like Lionman, but I survived and got quite a good haul, with a few amazing things.

I had killed eleven Grimms in total, with three of them having a bloodline. They were not as strong as the Lionman, but they had a bloodline and I had killed them.

There was one troublesome among the ones with inheritance, but none of them forced me to burn my blood.

Thankfully, I have recovered fully; there is not the slightest weakness remaining.

Hun!

I avoided the monster and sensed a native; without stopping. I had taken out a crystal and sent it toward the native. I had sent it to all the natives I have come across.

Including a Peak Sovereign; it took a lot of ingenuity, but I did it without getting discovered.

Till now, nothing had changed where Nero is, besides another Peak Sovereign being thrown into the gate. The countless others of the lower level might have died by the scattered Grimms, hiding through the road.

I don't know whether something will happen or not, but I will keep trying. It is the only thing I could do.

Soon, I reached the hiding spot, I decided to stay and went there. It is quite tricky, as I needed to avoid a few broken formations before I reach the hidden space.

I set up an abode and went inside, and the first thing was taking out the tub and going inside it.

I have been holding my breath for more than two and a half hours and I started treatment immediately. As I would need to go through the treatment in the morning too and for the best effect, there should be a gap of time between them.

The treatment gave me the pain of hundreds of thousands of ants, but I bore it and came out.

Buzz!

Immediately, the second treatment started, but in this one, I could enter inside my clone.

A second later, I am in my core with the projection in front of me. Nero is there, and in a few hours, when the density of the energy reaches the peak; he will make a move to escape.

He had appeared here without detection, but after seeing the Earth Sovereign hiding, I had forbidden him to take the risks.

In front of the Earth Sovereign, all his tricks are useless.

I talked to Nero for a few minutes before walking away from the projection. I looked at my clone, who was practicing the artificing constantly and making progress.

If this continued, it won't take it long for it to become a Level 4 artificer.

There, he will become eligible to make good things and there are many things I want my clone to make.

I appeared beside my clone and started helping him; my skills are no less than it. As it is me, what he gained is imprinted on me in the truest sense.

I worked with my clone for nearly an hour before I stopped and walked into the repository, which has become big. Just today, its size had increased by 20%, becoming even more massive.

The Lionman had a really huge number of resources and all of them become mine, including his bloodline energy and strengthening energy.

I have gained, many times more than I had lost to the corrupted and it couldn't help but make me happy. As I had many times before; it didn't hurt to have more resources.

Once I got out of this place, I have a big job ahead of me.

I have to sell a lot of these resources and buy other ones in exchange. This ruin offers a variety of resources and people also many from outside, but there are many things I need.

I would bar, sell, and trade to make this collection more diverse.

I want every type of resource, and I need every type of resource, with my practice and trades, I am learning.

After I got satisfied with my wealth; I went to the library and begin studying the books of ancient runes. They are the reason I am alive today and from now on, going to study them with even greater zeal.

A few hours passed, and I opened my eyes; the first stage of the treatment are finished.

Now, it is time to shower and eat; I am famished. After what I had experienced today.

I showered for fifteen minutes before walking out and changing into comfortable clothes. When I went to the kitchen, I waved my hand and a sumptuous meal appeared in front of me.

Usually, I liked to cook, but seeing how hungry I was feeling; I had asked my clone to do it while I went to the shower.

Ashlyn is still sleeping, but she is waking up more often now; in the afternoon, she had woken up and stayed awake for an hour. I took a break a little from hunting Grimms and stayed with my core till she went to sleep again.

I wish I knew what was happening to her, but the overseer had said I shouldn't worry about it.

What is happening to Ashlyn is what should be happening.

I ate in silence and when I finished; I washed the dishes, before laying on the couch and immediately fell asleep.

I woke up five hours later, and it was nearly midnight and Nero would leave in around one and a half hours. I didn't disturb him, as he was sleeping; it is not full sleep, as he is still alert.

I look at him before walking into the library and started working on my inheritance with five of my clones.

The progress is fast; I think I will be finished with it soon. Now, the challenge will fall on the treatments; I need to finish the treatments as soon as possible.

So, I could level up.

As things are going, I don't think, I will have any problem in reaching the limit soon. The place I am going to next has high traffic of natives and Grimms.

I will need to be careful while hunting them. There are many sovereigns who could kill without any problem; the corrupt had taught me that lesson too well to forget quickly.

Time passed, and I continued to work on my inheritance. When I found out, four hours have already passed inside the core.

Nero had woken up a few minutes ago and now looked beautiful silent night around the rift. Aside from a few trees, there is nothing there, not even the monsters.

Even they could feel the danger and stayed away intentionally.
