Monster Integration

I walked backed into Abode, only to see no one had woken up yet. Seeing there is still time for three hours to be over, I sat in the kitchen chair, going over the fights I had fought in this past hour.

Currently, my battle power is still at the Initial One Star Elite (very close to the Mid Level), but with an extra aid of the Killing Rule, I can defeat the Mid Level one and fight High-Level ones on a standstill.

As for Peak one, I will be badly beaten, and running away would be my only choice unless I use my Swirling Armor.

Swirling Armor gives me a huge boost; with me summoning it out, I will be able to defeat the Peak One Star Silver Elite Barely, which means with my current power. I do not need to fear One Star Elite.

If it were any other time, I would have been very happy with my progress, but currently, I am very worried. That team of Three One Star Silver Elite team of Scarlet Apeman had scared the hell out of me.

Their power was nothing much but what they represented is fearful, with their very appearance we will come across many teams wholly made of One Star Elite and could also come across the one that led by Two Star Silver, if that happens then it will be very dangerous.

"Hun!"

I was just busy with my thoughts when I sensed some power fluctuation, I looked at the direction of that fluctuation and a smile couldn't help but appear on my face. I focused on it for a while before; I went back again to analyze my battles.

This time I did not waste any time worrying about coming across powerful enemies if we come across it, then we will deal with it on time.

Time passed by while I continued analyzing my battle, the battle with Scarlet Apes, especially as they are the only ones who were able to make my blood boil while fighting.

That was the first time I had fought across the Three Silver Elites; all three monsters were quite strong, if I did not have the strong point of speed against the strength type monsters, it would have taken me a lot more time to finish them off.

Click!

A click heard behind me, and when I looked back, I found Kyla coming toward me wearing full battle gear and a bright smile that is hanging on her face which is very infectious.

"Congratulations on leveling up to Brigadier Stage," I said to Kayla as she sat opposite to me. The fluctuations I had sensed earlier were originated from her; she was making a breakthrough at that time.

The Brigadier Stage is the 1st stage among the last three last sub-stages of the Knight Stage. In the last stages, one received quite a good boost compared to stages below them, and at the Brigadier stage, she could do one thing that I and the other three could not.

She had the ability to fly now; she could literally fly and not walk the air as we do. In the Brigadier Stage, she got enough mana power to power up the Void Boots. With the help of them, she will be able to fly like those who are above Knight Stage.

Though the Void Boost has many limitations compared to free-flying but who cares about that as they let one fly and as for limitation, one could circumvent around them when they got enough proficiency in the void boots.

"Thanks!" she said with a smile, with her reaching Brigadier Stage, she will have a small boost in her power that will give her more edge over the monsters.

Time passed as Kayla, and I made plans for today and such fifteen minutes passed, and in the fifteen minutes, all of my teammates came out their rooms looking refreshed; there is not a tint of tiredness that could be seen on their faces, which were all over them three hours ago.

Now three of them look Vibrant and Refreshed, and there is also a tiny change in their battle power.

"Be careful; from today, this forest has become even more dangerous; a slight mistake on her part could kill you." She said and started explaining the strategy for today

Earlier when we made a plan, I told her about me encountering the team of Three Silver Elite Grimm monsters. Without me explaining, she understood the implication of it, and we made a strategy according to it.

Soon she finished explaining everything; the faces of three of them have become solemn and severe, the joyous mood they had due to a successful night of hunting and the improvement they had made, all but disappeared from their faces.

"Let's move!" said Kyla, and we started our hunt again, but compared to yesterday, today, our steps were a bit silent, and we did not talk much. Last night when we were hunting, we were loud as we could be in the forest and did not care about the sound we made.

It can be said that we were intentionally loud, so we can attract more monsters to fight us, but now we are quite as possible, that we even started to control our breathing while moving.

"One Silver Elite team with Six Grimm monsters," I said motioned toward a direction, they nodded and silently started to walk toward the Grimm monsters team. Though we are careful, we are still following our motto, and that is to kill as many as Silver Elites as possible.

They will not only give us a crystal and help us reduce the burden on the fellow humans that are present and come to the forest, and if we are lucky, we might even be able to find Origin water from the storage.

It is very difficult to find the Origin Water on our own, so we should kill as many Grimm monsters we could and get the Origin Water from them, this way is a lot more efficient than digging hundreds of holes across the forest.

Twenty minutes later, we had finished killing and harvesting the monsters and moved toward the rest. We have collected their storage but have not opened it since yesterday. We have decided not to open the storages of the Grimm monsters we have killed due to constant disappointment of finding no Origin Water in them.

We have decided to open them at once when we leave the forest that way, we will not be continuously disappointed and might even be able to find some Origin water in at least one of the thousands of storages.

Though we will get the same result from opening them one by one and opening them together, we will be spared from a lot of content disappointments and bad moods, which adversely affect our performance.

With us opening them together, there is a lot of hope inside us about finding it, and we mostly stay positive with our hearts filled with hope, which also affects our combat strength. Even though through this method, we might face giant disappointment instead of a small one if we did not find any Origin water, but that time, we will be the safety of the Midzone, so it will not affect our performance.

We were searching for Grimm monsters to fight while also looking for the signs of origin water when I saw something which made my expression utter incredulous.
