Monster Integration (Web Novel)
chapter-4114

The monster walked away and half a minute after that, I resumed my journey.

I am just a day away from my destination.

I could reach it there by night. If I really pushed, but I won't.

I am already a little distracted by what is happening in my core. Pushing myself will only

make things worse.

'Finally,'

Seventeen minutes passed, and I had moved past four people's range and took out my strings to harvest the resources.

It happens very rarely, I come in a range of so many people at once.

These people are intentionally moving closely. It's clear they are a team, seeing how they are moving. I have seen many people moving like that.

It is not that rare. The realm is dangerous, having a team helps a lot.

Though it has many disadvantages. If I had been in their place, I wouldn't have done that.

The disadvantages are not worth it.

Hun!

It is near the afternoon. I have crossed quite a distance and moved at a good speed while harvesting the resources on the way.

Hun!

As I was doing that, I felt the changes in me.

A few seconds later, I stopped and felt it started moving again. A minute later, it becomes clear, that everybody is able to sense it.

The tide had come.

Many people in my range had summoned their abodes and stepped inside, but many were still walking.

There are fewer tides during the day than the night.

A few minutes passed, and I felt the tides getting stronger. It seemed to be a slow tide.

Most of them get strong quickly and, just as fast, get weaker after reaching the peak, but slow tides move slowly. They get stronger slowly.

It is what makes more than half of them collapse before reaching the peak. Most of them are shaky and unstable. They collapse or start to weaker fast or vice versa, nothing can be said about

If I sense it clearly, I could feel the shaking of the tide as well.

I don't know whether it will collapse or get weaker. Though, if it got strong enough, slow or fast, I would enter my abode.

Tide brings complications, and I don't want complications.

Twenty minutes passed, and the tide got quite strong. Thought I had moved in the stronger tides and so have some people, as they are still moving.

A few more minutes passed when the tide got stronger and a few more entered the abode, leaving only three in my range.

Hun!

I was moving when suddenly I saw one of the people turning toward me.

A few seconds later, he increased his speed.

'He had sensed me,' I thought.

This is one of the complications of the suppression tide. It affects abilities. Due to its changing nature, it created gaps in my stealth and made him sense me.

It's hard to sense me because of my stealth changing with the power of the tide, but if other person's sensory method is good enough, they could.

This man did.

I acted like, I didn't sense him and kept moving. It is not something I had experienced the first time. Though, I hope, there won't be a fight.

I don't want to fight in such a condition.

Soon, I acted like, I had sensed it and stopped and turned. Letting it come closer.

Hun!

He was about a mile away when I sensed something from him. It made my heart shudder.

It took all my willpower to maintain my expressions while I cursed in my heart hard.

This is not an absolute limit Sky Sovereign, but the limit breaking Sky Sovereign.

I had heard about him in the places I visited.

The limit-breaking Sky Sovereign hides his power and fights against the Sky Sovereign.

He kills those people he fights.

It is easy to guess why he is doing that. He is doing it to find me. While others searching for me openly, this one trying the sneaky way, and he had found me.

My heart began to beat wildly. Panic tried to fill me, but I controlled my emotions as well as my expressions.

I cannot let him know, I had sensed his true power, or it will be over for me before it even

begins.

Not all had ended for me. Especially if it behaves like people had said it to be. I have a chance to survive, a slight chance, but a chance, nonetheless.

Everything was going well.

The nectar was forming, and I was collecting resources while moving toward my destination.

He had thrown it all with his appearance.

Now, my every step would need to be perfect. If he realized I was the person, he was searching for; it would be over for me.

I shouldn't let that happen until I am ready.

Time passed, and he came into view.

He looked to be a man in his early thirties, with grey skin and red horns over his head. He is tall and quite handsome with cheekbones and blue eyes of the shade; I had never seen.

They seemed cerulean at a glance, but not cerulean.

If I survived him. I am going to use that shade for my eyes one day. I hope I do.

He moved closer and closer to me. Until he stopped a hundred meters away from me.

"You are quite powerful to be able to move in such a powerful suppression tide," he said. "So, do you," I replied with a light smile on my face.

To that, he grinned.

"I am and I am very much interested in seeing how powerful you are," he said, taking a step

closer, while I shook my head.

"I rather not fight," I replied.

"The tides are getting stronger and if we fight, we might be discovered by the monster, not to mention. This place has a king," I added.

The grin on his face didn't lessen. Instead, it had widened even more.

"You don't have to worry about that," he said and came at me before I could open my mouth

to reply.
