Monster Integration

As I entered the circle, I didn't wait for the monster; I began to make preparations for the worse.

The monster is coming to a worse place; we are very close to the territory of the two powerful monsters. So, even if we dealt with it, it would attract the attention of other monsters, which would spell our doom.

The thing that could happen is not discovering us, because it did, then it will turn very risky and thus the preparations.

A second had passed, and the monster had come very come; it would appear close to me before I even finished taking place.

Finally, it had appeared, and it was just a few meters away from me, and I didn't know what kind of monster it was; all I could see was a blur, and it made me happy as it was moving away.

Hun!

A smile had just appeared when the monster stopped, and the smile froze on my face as I saw it sniffing the ground while a powerful soul sense spread around it.

I did not dare to make any movement as I watched the black wolf but prepared for the worst as, given its power, I would barely get a fraction of a second. If I made a mistake, then I would pay for it with my life.

Buzz!

I was watching with bated breath when I saw the monster stopping and turning toward me, and it disappeared from its spot and immediately activated and powered poured inside.

BANNNNG!

The next instant, a loud bang rang out, and it shook me from head to toe; the shock was so powerful that it had not only made me vomit blood, but also several bones of my body and made my skin split.

Still, my shields held on.

"You will have to try harder than that little monster," I said to the black world is no larger than a common wolf monster but have the power to tear apart the world.

"Growl!

It growled at me and disappeared, and I readied myself, as the next blow was going to be harder than the previous.

BANNNNG!

As I thought that, I felt the wolf crash to the left, and it made me nearly fall on my knee, but there was a smile on my face, seeing the confusion on the dumb monster's face.

It had likely wanted to attack me from behind, but it moved left to come behind me, and it found itself crashing against the shields.

The second attack made the shields fully visible, and to its shock, the black wolf had found itself trapped.

As I have not covered myself in the shield but trapped it inside, it is a risky strategy, but I have no other choice.

Before, if I defended myself with shields, it would attract the attention of the powerful monsters of the surroundings, and that will be bad.

So, it is better that I trap the monster in my shields; this way, not the slightest sound and bit of aura will come to seep out, but it will create another problem.

Which is killing the monster.

It is no common monster, but one that is very close to the primary II. Extremely powerful that even if I attacked it with my sword in full power, it would not do anything to it.

There is only one option, and I truly hope it will work, or I will die.

Growl!

BANNNNG BANNNNG BANNNNG

The black wolf growled and began to crash against the shield to get out, and every second, I poured more power to stop it.

In the past twenty-three months, I have worked hard to improve every aspect of myself, that include my strings.

I could not improve them directly due to the limit, so I created the formation and used the resources to do it. I am strengthening my strings through it, and it is the reason why my shields were able to hold on against it.

Without it, the power generated from my burning essence wouldn't have been enough.

Still, in front of this massive power, my strings are just a step away from snapping because this bastard may look like a shadow-element monster, but it is a purely physical one.

If it had been an energy-type monster, any energy type, I would have been able to use it to strengthen my shields, but I do not have that luck.

So, I am off to use the conventional way to deal with it; I just wish that this bastard would give me the time before each crash of it takes a huge chunk of my energy, and I want to finish it before it finishes me off.

Soon a minute had passed, and it had drained away half of the essence; it is insane considering it was not a regular essence, but one that is strengthened with the formation in my core.

Till now, no monster had been able to burn it this fast, including the Grimms, but this one, and now, if it continued crashing against my shield at this pace, then I have less than a minute to deal with it.

Seconds passed, and twenty-one seconds passed by when a small smile cracked across my face.

"Now, I want to see how fast you could hit my shields," I said to the monster as strings revealed themselves around its body.

It's not just that.

These strings are connected by finger-thick ropes, which are connected to each shield. So, it could be said it is bound by all shields, with its movements restricted from all angles.

Growl!

It growls in anger as it tries to break the ropes but is unsuccessful. So, it tried to bite them, and I got worried for a moment, seeing the force of its teeth, but it soon calmed down.

The rope is made of thousands of strings and a very powerful formation attached to it; it is not easy to break.

BANG!

Seeing it couldn't break through my shields, it once again crashed against my shields, but the force it could use much less, not to mention my strings were using its massive physical power against it, making its blows even weaker.

In a matter of seconds, the pressure on me had reduced a lot, but the job was far from over.

"Try hard, little wolf," I teased, and it glared at me with death, but trying to break through my shields again.

Each of its attempts would give me greater data against it, which I would use to tighten it further, making it crash slower and slower till I am barely feeling any kick whenever it crashed against my shields.

Another minute passed, and it had grown very angry, harnessing more power than before, but more than 70% of it getting absorbed and used against it, making its blows useless against me and my shields.

Still, it did not solve the problem that I could not kill it; I did not have enough power to do it.

Thankfully, there is someone else who could do this job for me.

"Ashlyn, will you," I said to her, and she flew immediately into the sphere of shield, and it did impede her.

She just passed through the strings to the shock of the monster.
