Monster Integration (Web Novel)
chapter-2525

After both Nero and Ashlyn left, I also didn't stay there for long and moved. I want to find a Grandmaster; the stronger it would be, the better.

Though I think even a mid-grandmaster might do the job, a two initial Grandmaster Grandmaster would be enough to take me to the absolute peak, but I would prefer a peak Grandmaster. There is no challenge in killing a useless being.

An hour passed, and Ashlyn and Nero had found many Grimms, but not a single one of them was a Grandmaster. Most of them were either elites or leaders; there was only a single Master present among them, and it was just at the initial stage.

I continued to search and but even after a few years, I did not find what I was looking for. It couldn't help but frustrate me a little, but I continued searching for a target with Ashlyn and Nero.

Soon, the dawn came, and till now, the highest Grimm Monster I was able to find was. It was in a protect which had around two hundred thousand humans and just a thousand Grimm Monsters, but they could control the city without any problem.

I had spent half a day searching for the high-level Grimms but did not find even a sign of them. Seeing that, I decided to take the approach which I was quite unwilling before.

I released my seeds into the Grandmasters and humans; searching around might not bear some fruit given how big the ruin is. It would be better if I listened to some conversation; I might be able to find some hint about where those powerful Grimms are.

So, after spreading the seeds, I sat in one of the empty rooms in the city while Ashlyn and Nero continued to search for the Grimms.

They wouldn't be able to help me in listening to the conversation, so they kept searching; who knows, they might be able to find something.

So, I sat down and began to listen to the conversation of the hundreds of Grimms and few humans.

Most of the chatter was general, but some of it is quite interesting; one of the interesting tidbits I was able to find is that Grimms here are forbidden to kill humans. The human meat they eat comes outside, from the world.

Here every human is considered an asset, seeing Grimm Monsters have spent centuries of efforts and even resources which gave them affinity to the water element, which is very important to grow and harvest the resources here.

It is not like they did not eat the humans; they did, but only the ones that committed the crime or rebelled.

It happens every month in the square of the city, where they cook and eat the humans while the humans watch. The day is called the feast day, and every human has to come out and watch Grimms eat their kin.

The humans here are in bad condition; they live in constant fear, and every decision about their life is made by the Grimms. From where they work to who should they marry, everything is handled by the Grimms.

My heart couldn't help but feel the pain seeing their condition, and I wanted to kill these Grimm bastards in the most painful way, but I knew it was not the time to do that.

I have sent the message back to the Pyramid about this ruin and will be receiving the answer in a few hours. Whether the Pyramid provides help or not, before I leave, I will leave behind an unforgettable lesson to these bastards.

And would return to free these people when I have gained enough strength.

A few more hours passed, and I heard many things, some of them were extremly important. I wanted to leave right then but waited as I began to manipulate some weaker Grimms with the limited soul abilities I had, but it was more than enough.

I finally knew where I wanted to go and where those Grandmaster bastards were hiding.

According to the information, there are five Grandmasters in the clear water region. Three of them are spread into different parts while two are together, and one of the two has a bloodline; it had the power of the peak Grandmaster.

If it did not have the bloodline, I would have gone for a second biggest target, an initial Grandmaster; this one also had a bloodline.

I tried to find out about the High Grandmaster as those are the ones that truly pose a threat to me, but nobody seemed to have any idea about their whereabouts. They know there is a High Grandmaster but do not know where it is.

Though, I have a pretty good idea where it might be.

Five days later, there is a pilgrimage gathering at the redwater fountain; this gathering happens every twelve years, and each city sends a group of humans with a constitution. Those groups of people never return to their city after the pilgrimage.

The group had already left ten days ago, and I planned to go there after I harvested the grandmaster.

I don't know what I will do there or want to find, but I want to go there. Thankfully, the turquoise lake is on the way; I won't have to circumvent it to reach the redwater fountain.

After getting all the information, I flew toward the turquoise lake. The distance to it is huge as it is near the edge of the clear lake region.

I would need one and a half to two days to reach here, and that is because I am taking Ashlyn's help. If I were on my own, I would have needed at least three to four days, and that is when I used my full speed without caring about the stealth.

I flew for about an hour before Ashlyn came, and when she did, she was quite big, three meters large. I landed above her.

A second later, the fire covered her and me, which made us completely invisible before Ashlyn streamed into the high skies.
