Monster Integration

Burst 100%.

"I hope you four don't disappoint me," I said, and a great sword appeared in my and I moved with the full power of burst coursing through my veins.

The four are at the Peak of the Earth Sovereign Stage.

This means they wouldn't be able to use the power of the bond for more than fifteen minutes and use their full power at the beginning, and since I didn't want to waste time, seeing it would be dark in a few minutes.

"Kill the bastard!" roared the Tiger Beastman as he appeared in front of me, with four surrounding me from the four directions.

The tiger beast-man had swung its sword at me while others attacked me with their weapons.

The four of them didn't swing their weapons at the same time. There was a difference of a fraction of a second, but I could see the synergy in their attack.

'I really couldn't underestimate them,' I thought as I swung my sword toward the ax.

CLANNNG!

Our weapons clashed, producing such power that it was torn, the trees in the vicinity apart, and created the huge crater beneath our feet, but I didn't have time to care about that.

The attack of others is inches away from me, and I am still shaking.

Rip!

The runes lit inside me, and I moved to dodge the attack and I did, but it wasn't without a cost. I had received an injury on my shoulder, with powerful energy wanting to tear that wound apart.

Since all four have the same inheritance, the bond also mixes their energies, making them far stronger.

They are very hard to get rid of.

Thankfully, the bubble had wrapped around them, the moment energy entered inside me.

It is a first attack, and I am already injured. I rarely get injured, even when fighting enemies stronger than them, but these are no normal enemies.

These bastards are connected in the mind and the energy. If that wasn't the case, they wouldn't have been graded crimson. The enemies that should be fought with those in exceptional their stage or a large group.

"See this bastard? This is just the beginning. In the next minute, we will litter your bodies with injuries such as this, that you wouldn't even be able to walk," said the man with the green-scaly skin.

"It is a minor injury, and you are already so happy," I replied and anger flashed in their eyes.

"We will enjoy eating you," said the elf with sharp teeth and four of them came at me.

CLANNNG!

My sword clashed against the green-skinned man's spear, before moving against it to dodge the attack.

Rip!

Once again, I received the attack. This time, on my back, and it was the ax that had attacked me. The bound is deeper than last time, slightly cutting the bone of my shoulder.

"You were saying?" asked the Tiger Beastman with a grin, but I didn't say anything and attacked the human with the rapier.

CLANNNG!

The human defended me, and I have once again received an injury. This time, on the lower back. If I hadn't been fast enough, the beastman world cut me in two.

"You should give up. There is no use in resisting. It will only make your fate more painful than it already is," said the Tiger Beastman, and came at me with the attack.

CLANNNG!

"Fuck off!" I replied and defended against the attack.

Rip Rip!

This time, I have received two injuries. One from the rapier of the human and the other from the saber of the elf.

"Boys, give this bastard such pain that he will regret throwing away our mercy," said Beastman, and they came at me with more ferociousness.

CLANNNG CLANNNG CLANNNG

They began to attack me relentlessly, while all I could do was dodge and defend while taking more and more injuries across my body.

The bond had made them powerful, and one mind was helping them injure me.

Seeing my injuries, it might seem like they are skillful fighters. They are not; they are above average, but one mind is providing them with such advantages that make them injure me despite their skills.

These injuries are painful, but each and every injury I receive makes my heartbeat faster in excitement.

Since I had come here, I had found the enemies as strong as this. These are ones that are making my heart beat with excitement, that I hadn't felt in a while.

Even the battle against the army of the critter hadn't been as exciting as the one.

Unlike that battle, here I am alone. There is no Sky Sovereign that could help me in desperate times. Here, if I am in danger, then I will have to save myself or die.

A minute passed, and my body was littered with the injuries. Every attack of theirs has hit me; sometimes there would be two of them.

There is not a single one that I have been able to dodge.

"You seemed to have a really good method to control the injuries," said Tiger Beastman, looking at me angrily.

They may have given me the injuries and after initial blood, there had not a single drop had come out of them. Not only that, every speck of energy is being sealed and whittled away.

If looked clearly, they will see, some of my injuries have already started healing.

"These minor injuries aren't going to help you. If you want to deal with me, then you will have to give me something stronger," I said, and defended against another attack.

Once again, the other three attacks came at me; each one was confident hitting me, but this time, something unexpected happened.

I was able to dodge all three of their attacks, two in with less than a centime distance, but I had done it and it surprised them greatly.

I am also quite proud of myself, seeing I had done it with my power. I had sealed my consciousness from my clones, which is a kind of idiotic, seeing as they are me, but I want to fight this battle with my own and win it.

It will be hard, but I have confidence in myself.
