Monster Integration - #3627 - 3627 Relief

A Sky Sovereign is not only here, but she is also the strongest one. Seeing that, a relief couldn’t help but flood in my heart.

The Sky Sovereigns are absolutely necessary if we want to get out of here.

“Where did you appear?” I asked. “North-west of here,” he replied. Moving toward the south as I had been.

“Going toward the colored place, right?” I asked.

 “Yes,” he replied.

“I am going there too and as you had noticed, the closer you get, the more critters you would come across,” I said, and he nodded slowly.

“You shouldn’t go there. You were barely able to deal with those two critters. If the large numbers arrive, you will have no chance again then, even I might not be able to help you,” I said, and he once again nodded.

“There might be an exit there,” he said with hope. It was my turn to nod. “It might. We alone aren’t going to be enough to go through that exit.”

“The information I read said the strongest hive guard, was the exit and both of us are far from strong enough to deal with the hive to reach the exit,” I replied.

“What do you want me to do?” He asked, and I threw a crystal and storage ring at him. “Wait on the spot, till we gather in enough to attack the hive wherever it is,” I replied.

“What if you leave with that Sky Sovereign?” he asked and this time I smiled. “We will need far more people than that. Besides, do you want to come with me? You can, but I am not going to protect you,”

“If it comes to my safety; I will run and you might need to fend off critters yourself,” I said and turned, before walking away.

He watched me and even took a step forward, before stopping himself.

He didn’t take, another step forward and instead turned and walked away. I hope he will go to the place, I am telling him; it will make finding him much easier.

That place was also easier to hide. I hope, he had a good stealth method and abode.

Hun!

A few minutes later, I removed the thought of him and focused on the four critters; seeing the way, they are moving. They are clearly coming toward the place; I had fought not long ago.

All four of them are Earth-Sovereigns and their power seemed to be in the Mid-High Earth-Sovereign stage.

Two and a half minutes later, I stopped and took out rubies, and waited for the enemies. 

It didn’t take more than a second for them to sense me and the moment they did; they ran toward me.

Trrrrr Trrrr Trrrrr

They let out a strange noise that made me feel a headache, before attacking me from all three sides.

CLANG CLANG CLANG 

I started to clash against the three, and within a second, I was surprised by their coordination. It is better than I had expected.

It had the feel of people who had fought together for years.

It is instinctual for them; they are born from the same hive mother and are connected to each other.

This is going to make things even more difficult. It seemed like everything in this realm was stacked against me.

I don’t know why; I am asking this question. Of course, everything was stacked against me and everyone who had entered here. This is the home of critters; they have all the advantages here.

Even the suppression of the world is much less here on them, compared to when they attack.

While we are suppressed more; nearly 20% of the power of Earth Sovereign is getting suppressed here. Though mine is getting only around 10% due to the forbidden power and it is lessening slightly every second, as my body gets used to it.

The attacks come from all sides, but I have enough skill and power, that I am handling them fine.

Though, I didn’t let that get over my head. A single slash was all it would take to finish me off, and I didn’t know if the potions I had prepared would work or not.

I should have drunk it before as a precaution. It is more effective if it is drunk before. I will do it next time.

Hun!

Forty seconds passed when the critters began to send the signal.

Unlike the Grimms, who would rather run, than ask for help. These critters first asked for help and then tried to run.

Currently, they are asking for help, but soon if I killed them, they might retreat.

Puch!

I pierced my rapier into the head of the left critter, sending a massive load of energy inside it.

Trrrr Trrrrr Trrrrr

It begins to scream loudly in pain, while the purple blotches begin to appear on its leathery, hairless skin.

‘Another failure,’ I thought in disappointment.

The other two critters were startled seeing it and one can begin to retreat, while the other came at me in fury.

I pulled the one who was screaming into me and attacked the one who attacked me.

Puch!

I pierced its head again and sent energies. A moment later, it stopped; it did, only for a second and a half, before black marks appeared on its body.

It made me very happy.

However, I still pulled it in my core the moment it opened its mouth to scream and moved toward the critter, who was running away.

I appeared in front of it and attacked.

Puch!

Like the two, the third one wasn’t my match either, and my sword pierced through its head. 

Trrrrr Trrrrr Trrrrr

It begins to scream as its skin begins to split apart. I shook my head and pulled it into my core. 

My clone had already started working on the second energy. They need to find out what made it freeze and prolong it.

It would be great if they could prolong it for ten seconds, but I could start to use it if they were able to do it for the three.

Hun!

I was about to call the rubies when I stopped as I sensed another two Earth-Sovereign critters coming toward me.

I moved the rubies as they came at me and soon; the critters saw me as they entered the range of rubies.

Trrrr Trrrr Trrrr

They screamed and came at me, and I played with them for a half minute, before finishing them and sending them inside.

As they entered inside, the roots once again came out and started to tear them apart and eat them. A couple of seconds after they finished; the tree began to glow.

I didn’t focus on it and sent the soul waves and saw there were no Earth-Sovereign critters.

Still five, one after another, are a big number. It made me worried about others.

I shook those thoughts away, picked the rubied and started to make my way toward the colored place. 

On the way, I had killed the three critters; they were Sovereign ones, but I didn’t mind seeing, they too provide the growth energy.

As long as they provide that; I won’t mind killing even thousands of them.
