Monster Integration



I finished with the last treatment and walked to the bathroom and showered before coming out and started to cook the early breakfast.

I will leave in one hour, till then Nero will arrive, with all his hunting of Grimms. He had killed quite a number and was still doing.

I don't mind, as long as he returned in time.

I have to reach the mist valley as soon as possible, and Nero's help is tremendous. I travel over four times faster when Nero is scouting the way for me.

Today's breakfast is quite simple and even could say bland. I used only three ingredients to make it.

Not every day, I would like to eat extravagantly. Sometimes, I like to eat a simple meal; it calms my mind. It feels like good food to start the journey toward the new destination, which is going to be extremely dangerous.

Thirty-five minutes later, I finished with it and placed it on the tray, and took it to the table before eating.

I ate silently and didn't think of anything else, other than the simple taste of the breakfast. Which I only ate in one serving; it feels sacrilegious to eat this till one feels full.

Though, despite not eating as much to eat every day and I felt satisfied and content.

I washed the dishes and sat down, crossed-legged, on the floor before closing my eyes. I did not enter my core like I do, instead just kept my eyes closed and thought nothing.

Sometime later, I closed my eyes and felt the calm, I had not felt in quite a while.

It seemed like I need to add meditation to my schedule.

I used to meditate daily, but somehow, I stopped doing that. There were other things I had to do in time, but it had been a mistake. Meditation is important, more important than using the I had spent on it, working in my core.

I would have meditated longer, but Nero had arrived, and he had informed me. The energy had reached a level where I could walk in it.

The armor appeared on the body, and I stepped out of the abode before taking it to my core and walking out of the hidden spot.

When I got out a few minutes later, I felt the energy. It is still thick and powerful, and my armor is barely dealt with it. Still, I checked the seals one more time, to be careful.

I don't want even a speck of this energy to enter inside me.

"Legs go," I said to Nero and moved to do the thing I do daily at this time, or a little later. I have little early today, like yesterday. 

Every day, I walked out a little early. As every day, my strength grows, and I become capable of handling even more energy.

The Grimm I am planning to assassinate is a little further, but Nero said, we will be able to reach there in time. 

An hour and five minutes later, I reached the place where the Grimm was staying and waited. The bastard took thirty-four minutes to come out before I was able to assassinate it.

The time was worth it, seeing it was one of the powerful bloodlines Grimms I had killed.

Half an hour after that, Nero found me another Grimm with the bloodline. This one is Primary-III; I don't mind as long as it had a bloodline, I will kill it.

Its bloodline energy helped me take many plants to the Peak of Primary-III, where I will provide them with Sovereign level growth energy.

Hours passed, and we finally got out of the city. We moved quite fast, only stopping to hide from the monsters or kill the Grimms.

As we crossed the ruined city; we had reduced our pace. Now, there will be more monsters and less hiding space, I will need to be more careful, despite Nero guiding me.

A few minutes passed, and a crystal appeared in my hand and flew toward the native I had sensed.

I don't know what results from the battle between the native and Grimm Earth Sovereign. So, I am being more cautious and still sending the crystals to the natives I see.

It would be great if the Earth Sovereign from the organization was able to beat the Grimm Earth Sovereign, but Nero thinks the chances of that happening are slim and he is rarely wrong.

So, either it is a tie or the native running away. There is even an option of it being killed. So, spreading crystal is a wise move.

The crystal, have all the battles Nero saw, but not the one between Earth Sovereign. I don't want any Earth Sovereign to know, Nero had seen them. It will make them more careful of those hiding and I don't want that.

Who knows, Nero might need to hide from Earth Sovereign again and it might increase the chances of him getting discovered.

An hour and a half later, Nero found me a Grimm with a juicy bloodline. It was the Initial Sovereign, and I had killed it quite easily. Though, the one I found twenty minutes after that was quite challenging.

So much so that I had thought of burning my blood to deal with it.

With Nero, finding the Grimms is easy. I could find the Grimms. I need to fight and avoid those I don't.

I could barely remember how many times I needed to hide from the powerful Grimms and monster yesterday. I was lucky that my method was good enough to hide from them or I wouldn't be standing here now.

A few more hours passed, and I crossed even more distance while killing a few more Grimms.

As I had expected, this route to the mist valley is the busiest one I had come across in this ruin and it is when I am walking quite a distance away from it. If I had followed the exact route on the map, I had come across even more Grimms and natives.

All of them want to go to the mist valley, not caring about the immense danger it represents.

That place had swallowed even Earth Sovereigns and Sovereign like me die in doves, but people are still flocking to go there due to the sheer number of opportunities the places like that have.

It is surprising considering what made it.

It is one of the reasons I am going there. I want to see if I could find any clue in it, which will give me a clue about the place where I will travel for a long time in the future when I have gained enough strength.

Currently, it feels impossible to reach that level, but didn't think about too much.

I need to take one step at a time, and I will eventually reach my destination. I had done this in my world and I will do it here and thankfully; I have a celestial inheritance, which will make things be a little easier.

Celestial inheritance is hard and not many could walk in the path, but those who do, did not face as many problems as people with other inheritances.

Even those with Legacy Inheritance.

It is not some special power that celestial inheritance provides. It is just using every advantage one has and building on that.
