Monster Integration - #3626 - 3626 A Person

There is an aura of Earth Sovereign native with it, and it is a familiar one. It immediately made me excited.

I didn’t waste any time and moved toward it. My speed isn’t slow either; I couldn’t afford to be slow. If I am too slow, then it might be too late.

Quickly, four and a half minutes passed when I could see the battle.

Immediately twelve rubies came out of my hand and moved at my command, while I harnessed more power and moved even faster, without leaking even the slightest aura.

Still, three of them sensed me within a second.

For a moment, joy appeared in the raven-haired man’s eyes, before they hardened. The middle-aged-looking man was native, but not the native of our side; he was the part of the cultists, that we were fighting.

This is not a time to think about it. To get out of here, we will need every hand. It wouldn’t matter if this hand belonged to the cultist.

He is fighting against the two critters. One had an aura of Initial to Mid Earth-Sovereign, while the other one had the aura of Mid to High Earth-Sovereign.

I only glanced at the critter, before turning to the man and scanned him with my soul sense and was relieved to see, there were no injuries on his body. He seemed to have sensed the danger and fighting only defensively against it.

Soon, there was less than five hundred meters of distance between me and the fight, when one critter broke off the fight and came at me.

It is the strongest one.

Trrrr Trrr Trrrr

It appeared in front of me within a second and attacked me with full power. My rapier responded in kind.

CLANG CLANG CLANG

This one is the strongest critter, I have faced. Stronger than the last one; I had needed to harness, little more power than the last time to face it.

This time, I am more confident in facing it; its movements are unable to beguile me. 

I defended against every move of it and launched a few of mine. Making it angry, but it is already using all its strength and, like the other one; it is sending out signals for help, but my rubies are blocking it.

Seconds passed and its attack became more furious and unpredictable.

It is another thing about these critters; it is very hard to predict their movements. Their combat style was chaotic, like those emotions in their eyes.

We cannot fight them, the way we fight against our fellow natives or even the Grimms. Making them even more dangerous.

Still, fighting against one or two isn’t a problem for most people. They may be intelligent, but they are not as intelligent as Grimms. These chaotic emotions that make them dangerous are also their weakness.

They are dangerous due to their numbers and their abilities to grow at amazing speed.

They never fight with such individual numbers, but fight in thousands and that is terrifying. 

Puch!

At the forty-seventh second, my rapier avoided its long limbs and pierced into its head. Stopping right at its core, before sending a big burst of energy.

Trrrrrr Trrrrrr Trrrrrr

It screamed out loudly and its skin began to split. Seeing that, my expressions turned bad, and I pulled it to my core.

‘It didn’t work. Let’s hope, another sample work,’ I thought and moved toward the second critter fighting against the cultist.

I am trying to create the energy, that I use on Grimms to freeze them. The freezing energy is the best choice to capture them alive, without raising too much suspicion.

Hun!

I had reached halfway toward the critter when it suddenly stopped fighting and began to run.

“Not so quicky,” I said and moved. 

Puch!

I appeared in front of the critter, and it raged before attacking me, but before its sharp limbs touched me; my sword pierced through it and sent the second sample inside it.

Trrrrrr Trrrrrr Trrrrr

It froze, and joy lit up in my mind, but the next moment, cold water drowned in it, when it screamed with pain.

I quickly pulled it inside me.

‘Looks like it won’t be easy,’ I thought. 

It won’t be easy, but won’t be too hard either if I keep trying and getting data. Eventually, I will get the result I want.

The second sample seemed to have succeeded, slightly, as it was freezing. Looking at the data, it is pain froze it for a moment, but the energy, the pain, came a fraction of a second later.

So, I will build on that while testing the other samples.

I handed those thoughts to my clones and turned to the middle-aged-looking man, looking at me from the distance. 

He is cautious, ready to defend, if I attacked, but his mind already knows that it couldn’t do anything against me. The fear it is desperately trying to hide is clear as day in his eyes.

“Hi, there,” I said as I walked toward him with a smile.

“Killing me will not help you here, member of Tor,” he said. I could feel the faint tremor in his voice.

“Did I say I want to kill you?” I asked back and immediately, his whole body seemed to sag in relief.

 “Besides, when we surrounded your organization, we had no intention of killing you. We did because you were trying to run. If you had just surrendered and let us investigate, there would have been a much less loss of life,” I added.

It seemed like, he wanted to snort at that, but he controlled himself.

“Do you know what this place is? What those things?” he asked after a few seconds of silence.

“Yes,” 

“The things we are facing are called critters; they are entities of foreign universe, like Grimms and the place is called critter pod.”

“A spatial realm, which acts as their base of attack,” I replied with a smile.

“Fuck!” he cursed in fear.

“It seemed like you have no injuries. Well, you wouldn’t have been alive, then; there would have been thousands of eggs inside you and critter babies that came out, would have eaten your body and soul alive,” he said, and man shuddered.

Nearly collapsed, before controlling himself.

“My instincts were right; I felt getting a single cut would be the end of me,” he muttered while shuddering again.

“Did you appear here, when the black spatial wave hit you?” I asked. To which he nodded.

“It hit me and I could myself here, in a couple of seconds,” he replied and there was a spark of joy in his eyes for a moment, before once again he shudders.

He felt happy for a moment because if the wave hadn’t taken him, Rynter would have. He had been fighting against three cultists. Last I sensed him, and this man was one of them.

“Did you see anyone?” I asked and waited to be disappointed when he nodded.

“A Sky Sovereign, one of yours,” he replied and raised his palm in front of his palm in front of him and a green projection of a woman appeared above his palm.

Seeing the woman, my eyes couldn’t help but light up. She is one of two Peak Sky-Sovereigns, sent for the mission.
