Monster Integration (Web Novel)
chapter-3324

"Come to me and rest," I said to Nero as he came out of the tunnel; taking only a third of the time than we did.

This time, he had listened, and a few minutes later; I opened the door and let him in.

"You have worked hard," I said as I took him in my arms.

He snuggled for a moment, before going back inside the core and a few seconds later, he was asleep.

A minute after that, his body begin to shine gently as he started to make a breakthrough.

Ashlyn and his breakthroughs are far simpler than mine. They only need to sleep, and they would make a breakthrough.

There is no danger of dying or anything.

I look at Nero for a couple of seconds more, before turning to loads and loads of stuff he had brought. On the way, he killed many things and found a few things; all of which he unloaded before sleeping.

There is a lot of stuff, which my clone is sorting with the help of formation.

I am just glad there are many Earth Sovereign grade resources and among them, there are quite a lot of healing types. My clone had already begun sorting them with the help of the formation.

I lay on the couch and enter my core and begin to help it.

There are many things in there, including the one miracle fruit. It will be the second miracle fruit I had found here. Unfortunately, it is not a healing type and couldn't be used for healing in any way.

Soon, I was all sorted and placed in the repository, which has become even bigger.

I walked off the repository and stepped into the library. Helping my clone by researching healing. I have focused on that much less since I had come to this world.

I plan to give more time to it. If Marina come to know I had neglected the healing studies, she will not forgive me.

I worked for a few hours before I meditated and then work again some more before finally getting out of the abode. The night had been especially wrong, but the day will come soon.

The density of the energy had been lowered enough that I could, walked in it.

Click!

A few minutes later, the door appeared from the wall and Ragas walked outside.

"Ready?" he asked, and I nodded and both of us walked out of our hiding place.

"Our destination is this. If everything goes smoothly, we should be able to reach it before the afternoon," he said, showing me the destination.

It is on the unmarked hills. I am quite curious about it, as in hundreds of maps I had gathered from the Grimms, there was no mention of this place.

Likely, Grimms doesn't know it, which is good. If possible, I don't want to come across any more trouble; I had faced them more than enough time since I had come to this place.

"It shouldn't be a problem. It is away from most of the marked spots," I said, and we begin moving.

We are on our own, Nero is still sleeping, and I have no intention of waking him up. He had barely taken any rest to reach me and deserve the rest.

As for the danger here, we will have to manage on our own.

Hun!

A few minutes passed, and we stopped with mist covering us; a group of full monsters. There are five of them and they are munching on a blue-colored grass by a small pond.

The leader is a Peak Sovereign, while the rest is below it. It is a dangerous group, and we don't want to mess with it.

We had to wait for a little over ten minutes as the monsters took their sweet time eating the grass before moving away.

As they left our range, we resumed our journey.

My strings were moving around me, picking up resources that seemed to be everywhere. We are behind the wall, an area which had been visited by extremely few people.

So, there are more resources for me to harvest, and we are moving slowly enough that I could harvest most of them without compromising our speed.

We have to move slowly. This area had higher than normal monster density. In just a few minutes, we had sensed the aura of two Earth Sovereign monsters, and we didn't want to come across them in our haste.

It might be able to stay alive against them, but I will have no chance.

Two hours passed, and we were steadily gaining ground toward our destination.

We have stopped many times, but we had added that. When we calculated the time, we will need to reach our destination.

Suddenly, we had stopped, not because of any danger, but the wonder in front of me. There tremulous lake floating in the sky, covered in a misty layer. It couldn't be seen from a distance; I was only able to see it was reaching close.

For a moment, I saw it is a sea, but it is not; it is a giant lake; clashing in such power that it would turn me into the paste in an instant.

"The water belongs to a powerful Grimm, which was slayed by the host of the empire of mist," said Ragas, seeing me looking at the crashing waves.

"Do you know him personally?" I asked, and he just gave me a look.

A minute later, we left the wonder. If I had time, I would have looked at it more, but I didn't have it; we have to reach our destination as soon as possible and help him get what he wants.

So, I can get the maps of exits.

Though, now, the priorities have changed. Before the map, I want to heal. Currently, I couldn't even use a quarter of my power and it is making me feel weak.

I don't like this, especially in this dangerous place, where I need to hide from most of the danger.

If I hadn't been in this condition, I wouldn't be this fearful of everything, as I am now.

Another two hours passed, and we reached quite close to our destination. We have avoided most of the danger, except for one, where we needed to fight.

Thankfully, the danger was not that powerful.

Ragas had bound it with his power, while I had killed it, before resuming our journey.

Ragas's mood is changing as with every step we took to our destination. He was becoming excited, and that light smile hadn't left his face. The place must be something to make him feel this excited.

I am also curious about it, but I had refrained from asking; I will know when we reach it.

Time passed, and we continued moving, avoiding most of the dangers, even those which we could deal with.

Ragas does not want any trouble; he didn't want to do something that could potentially delay him from reaching the destination.

I don't mind. It is not just his destination, but also mine. He had said, there is powerful healing there and I want to go through it, to heal my injuries.
