Monster Integration

Burst 60%.

I harnessed the 60% power from the burst and swung my sword toward the flaming red halberd coming at me.

It came close before tens of copies began to come out of it. These copies are extremely real; they feel the same and even have an aura. It is enough to fool one for a fraction of a second, and that is more than enough to deal with the enemy.

I do not need a fraction of a second. I know from the beginning, which is real, and which is not.

CLANG!

My sword clashed against its halberd, and a fiery shockwave released from it. Incinerating, every plant in hundreds of meters of radius and even injuring the people fighting close to us.

Immediately, the natives and Grimms begin to disperse away from us, but not one of us glances at them. 

We already launching our second attack.

CLANG CLANG CLANG

The second attack clashed and the third one and four after that, but we didn't stop. We kept clashing one after another, not stopping even for a moment.

Hun!

We were attacking fast and hard, with each attack being stronger than the other, when suddenly, I sensed something and moved.

The Hogman grinned, seeing that, and moved to stop me; it knew I would do something like it and had been prepared, but I was not unprepared either.

As it swung its sword to stop me; the runes in my armor lit up, and I moved up vertically, before moving vertically, avoiding its attack, but I hadn't moved to dodge its attack.

BANG!

I had just moved when suddenly a fiery volcano burst from the ground. It is not a volcano, but a powerful attack; that would have injured me heavily if I had dodged it on time.

The attack dispersed a second later, revealing another Hogman. This new Hogman had darker skin and had one of its tusks dark brown, while the other was fiery red.

Unlike the first Hogman, it is a fire and earth dual-element powerhouse, and the like first; it had a bloodline. 

It was underground from the beginning. Waiting to kill a powerful native is the reason why I had chosen to fight the Hogman. I mean, why fight one Grimm, when you can get two of them?

"Nice dodge, native," said the second Hogman. 

"Thanks," I said with a smile, while it grinned. "Well, it is not going to help you," it said and came at me with the first Hogman, aura blazing.

Burst 75%.

I harnessed more power and moved with a grin on my face, which seemed to unnerve them, or it might be because of how my compact style changed.

Both of them are coming at me from both sides. The first Hogman had dense fire covering its sword, far denser than earlier, while the second one, had magma that would turn me into the ashes if the slightest one had touched me.

There was one art that had the power to make the body extremely strong.

It fused the body with special, worldly energy, that will make it impervious to the attacks like this. It was the top method and if I had found this one, which was more suitable for me, I would have chosen that.

I wanted to choose that, but I knew the Dance of Ukasanovor was more suitable for me and I chose it.

CLANNG!

My sword clashed with the Magma Halberd and it came at me, covering every inch of me. As it did, my armor opened its defenses, while I moved and dodged the halberd of the first Hogman gracefully.

I had just done that when the second Hogman attacked me again and this time, it was angry, seeing how I had effortlessly dealt with its first attack.

The lava is now denser with more power, but I do not fear it, as I moved my sword forward.

CLANNG!

Once again, my sword clashed and its magma came at me and armor absorbed it, and this time with better ease than the last. My armor got adjusted to the bloodline energy and sucked it all in an instant.

Knowing I would retreat after the clash, it tried to keep me on the spot. So, the attack from the other Hogman would hit me.

Unfortunately, it had been too hopeful.

I moved my sword back and took steps back. It pressed forward, but I took a sharp turn, avoiding both of the attacks.

The distance was close, but it was my calculated range.

CLANNG CLANNG CLANNG

I dodged and defended against their attacks. Not a single one of them hit me or done any damage to me.

It is not like, like they are not powerful. They are and a month ago, I wouldn't have had such an easier time against these two, but in the month so much had changed, that even I am surprised with the grace, I am fighting these two Grimms with.

It is making them frustrated and angry. It is a battle where thousands are fighting, not a duel where they could take their sweet time in dealing with the enemy.

It is not like they are not trying. They are using everything they can, but I am like a slippery eel. When they thought they got me, I would simply slip out of their fingers.

I am not just slipping out; I am also preparing something that will shock them to death.

"Let's use our full power; we won't be able to kill the slippery bastard without it," said the first Hogman.

The second one seemed unwilling but nodded and the next moment, a powerful aura blasted out of their bodies and formed the bloodline phantom above them, before it merged with them, reinforcing their power.

"Now, it is time for you to die, little bastard!" roared the first Hogman and attacked. Its attack is impressive.

A massive halberd of fire formed behind it, and it was coming at me. If that wasn't enough, the second attack was just as huge halberd formed on the other side.

Both came at me and despite their massive size; they were extremely fast and powerful, that they were turning everything asunder in their path.

Even the air burned, and the ground started to melt. 

The attack was really powerful, that my heart started to beat wildly. There is a fear in my heart, but also a raging excitement; I wanted the battle like this and now I have got it.

Burst 100%.

The power of the full burst filled me and I moved. 

Buzz!

I had just taken a step when my core buzzed and released the strengthening essence. Seeing that, a smile appeared on my face.

While the Grimms aren't giving me what these two would give. I will still appreciate the increase in strength and growth of the resources, this will give me.

It will be the training of bumper essence, these two will give me, but before that happens, I will have to dodge this attack.

"Hehe!"

I moved to dodge, as I did that, the two Hogmen grinned and the colossal fiery halberd shone brightly and their speed quadrupled.

At the same time, the powerful suppressive force released from them; with me being their sole target.
