Monster Integration (Web Novel)

The energy reached its peak and Nero begin to move; he is being very careful and moving slowly, melding with thick energy perfectly.

His method is so good that even a Sovereign standing beside him won't be able to discover him. Though it will only happen in thick energy, like this; other times it is hard.

Only Nero could do something like this. The energy, is so dangerous, that even Peak Sovereign wouldn't want to be in it.

Some of them would be able to bear it; it would be uncomfortable or even painful to them.

So, it could be said, his only challenge is to escape from the soul sense of the Earth Sovereign. Who wouldn't be searching for the Initial Sovereign monster, but if it found Nero, then no matter how amazing his ability is, he will not escape.

A few minutes passed, and Nero had crossed quite a distance.

He is moving steadily, but not slowly; he is speed is quite good, that if he kept moving at such speed for two hours.

He would be mostly out of danger.

I have many things to study, but I had kept my eyes on Nero. While I couldn't do anything for him, even if I had been with him, I still keep my connection with him active, as a support.

Forty minutes passed, and everything was going well; Nero had crossed a huge distance and an hour more. He would be relatively safe.

Hun!

I was thinking that when suddenly an earth-shaking aura spread covered the whole space. It is dense and powerful, and it didn't belong to the Grimm.

Nero had not sensed the aura of Grimm Earth Sovereign, since it had kept it very well contained. Nor did he need to; the auras of Grimms and natives are vastly different.

This aura is the aura of the native sovereign, who had revealed himself, the moment I thought about it.

'So, it is him,' I thought.

It is a red-metal skin man, who was one of the Sovereign, that had entered the ruin.

As he appeared, he swung the black saber toward the ground and a red arc of energy released from it and moved toward the ground.

The attack seemed slow, but the power contained in it was horrifying. It could easily wipe out a hundred like me without any resistance.

BANNNG!

"Run!" I screamed at Nero. At the same time, the Grimm materialized on the ground, cutting the red arc with its long thin sword.

It is a Viperman with green and black scales and has a crown over its head. It is looking at natives in the sky with excited eyes.

It said something to red-metal skin Earth Sovereign, before flashing in front of him and attacking. The shockwave that was produced through the clash destroyed a large area below.

It was so powerful that even Nero felt the shock on the ground.

He went even deeper while moving faster to escape; he even stopped looking at the Earth Sovereign and focused solely on running, because when the battle get serious, even underground wouldn't be safe.

Nero understands that very well and sacrifices some of the power of a stealth method for speed.

I usually wouldn't approve of him doing that, but this condition requires it.

I could already feel the battle was getting intense by the second. That Nero begins to feel waves of the energies. If I had been in his place, those waves would have injured me gravely, but he is fine.

For now.

If things become intense too fast, then even he will suffer and the chances of the unthinkable happening would also increase.

I decided not to think about that and just watched Nero.

Minutes passed, and the battle got even more intense. Feeling the waves of energy, it didn't feel like he was moving at all, despite him going deeper into the ground and moving fast.

For nearly twenty minutes, there was no change; things become even worse when finally, the change begins to feel.

It was small, but as Nero cross more distance, it become bigger and bigger. With it, the waves of power begin to weaken more and more.

Half an hour later, there they become gentle as wind.

I heaved a sigh of relief, but didn't relax; I wouldn't be relaxed until Nero couldn't feel even a single wave.

That took forty-two minutes to happen. That now, Nero is not feeling even the slightest bit of energy from the fight. Even with all his senses, he couldn't pick up a single speck.

"Good job, Nero," I said to him. "Thank you, Father," he said and begin to move at an even faster speed, while I looked away from the projection and started the treatments.

Nero is now safe. There are many dangers on the way, but I know he will be fine. Even Peak Sovereign couldn't discover him in such thick energy.

A few minutes passed, and Nero did something, which put a smile on his face.

He killed a Grimm; it is his first Grimm in more than a day. He had sensed many Grimms while escaping, but he did not kill them.

He understood the priorities and escaping was the biggest priority, even more than killing the Grimms. Now, once again, priorities shifted and Grimms took the top spot again.

I am quite excited for him to return and seeing how he killed the Grimms. He will bring quite a bounty when he returns.

I have a lot of resources, but I don't mind having more.

I focused on the treatment, taking everything, it is providing me with while bearing the pain. I am quite used to pain, but some of these treatments make me grit my teeth in pain.

One and a half hours passed, and I finished with the first treatment and entered the tub, where hundreds of thousands of ants begin to bite me painfully.

Of all the methods, I hate this one the most, but it is also the one that can provide me with the biggest benefits. I shudder when I think about how further painful it is going to be a few days later.

My clone had been researching the method and found a way to strengthen it.

For the next few days, there will be a few experiments before I started to use it and I could already feel the pain. It will give me, but I will bear it for the benefits it gives me.

Like the method is done now.

Little more than two hours later, I finished with it and jumped into a new method. This one let me use my core.

So, I watched Nero hunt another Grimm before going to the library and helping my clones with the upgrade. They have stopped working on the Sovereign upgrade and focused on a minor one.

I need to finish it as soon as possible. I want to level up once again. It will increase the chances of my escape from this ruin.

Though for escape, I will have to find a way out of here. Which I didn't yet, but I have hope that my new destination will provide a clue about it.
