Monster Integration

I passed through the gate and appeared on the other side. Immediately, I felt the powerful aura of Earth Sovereign scanning over me.

This time, much more intensely than the last time.

I shook and nearly collapsed under the soul sense before it disappeared. I took a couple of deep breaths before walking toward the peak sovereigns, who had collected my storage.

“Have you seen this person?” they asked and showed me the projection of the purple skin man.

“No, but several people were asking about him,” I replied. They nodded and took my storage ring and scanned through it, before returning it with my other storage devices.

“Thank you,” I said as I took my storage before walking out.

When I walked out, it was early morning. I looked around before moving toward my destination. 

I spent two days in the garden. Thankfully, I have more than enough time to reach my destination, but I would like to reach it as soon as possible.

The day passed, and the night came, I continued traveling, till; it is the night, before finding a hiding spot, when my energy reached a near-dangerous level for me.

The next day, I resumed my journey, killing the Grimms that I had come across and hiding from those I couldn’t defeat. 

Though, I have only come across only one such Grimm; it was not Earth Sovereign, but the Peak Sovereign. It was extremely powerful, at a level of those I have come across in the grey mist.

Not me or Nero engaged against it.

Soon, the night came again, and I wish I had a few more hours.

I am very close to my destination, two or three hours close, but I couldn’t continue to travel. As the energies reached concentration, that is dangerous to me.

Forget a few hours. If I dared to stay out an hour; I would die a very horrible death.

So, I enter the hiding spot Nero had found for me and went inside, while Nero remained out. Enjoying the last night in the wild; for the next few months, he is going to spend most of his time in the core.

I entered my abode; it is not the same one as before. It is a little bigger.

It had five bedrooms, two practice rooms, and one big living room, with high-quality spartan furniture.

Its previous owner had to take a lot of pains to collect things. Including a large white bear monster hide, which I am pretty sure is from the Peak Sovereign monster.

It is so comfortable that I had planned to sleep on it.

I got this abode today, from a mid-Sovereign Grimms, I had killed in the morning. I didn’t know how it had come across an abode that was suitable for the Earth Sovereign.

The native he killed must be from a good family or someone lucky or rather unlucky seeing, they have been killed by the Grimm.

I changed very few things before entering the bathroom. It is the only thing I want to change, it’s a good size, but I planned to make it bigger by joining it, with the bathroom on the other side.

Fifteen minutes later, I got out of the bathroom, changed into comfortable clothes, and walked out of my bedroom into the practice room.

I started with the treatment. 

Usually, I bathed after the treatments, but I had decided to take it before it. As earlier, I had fought against the Grimms, who had energy with an extremely foul smell.

Three and a half hours later, I finished the treatments and showered again before cooking myself dinner and eating it alone.

After it, I slept on the hide and slept deeply. 

It is so great that I didn’t want to get up at all, but I did and freshened up before walking into the living room and sitting on a stone sofa covered in hide.

I closed my eyes and appeared in my core, directly in front of the milky corrupted lake; on which three black centurion lotuses are floating.

I was lucky enough to come across bloodline Grimms, on both days, which helped me grew this lotus. It is such a regret that only one seed had sprouted; the other did not.

I looked at it for a moment, before waving my hand, and immediately a flower plucked from the tree and floating in front of me.

I looked at the giant lotus flower and took it, where two of my clones are working on the workbench. 

I planned to use it in the reforging of my breakthrough formation. Earlier, I planned to use different resources, but a black centurion lotus would be a hundred times more suitable for it.

It is great; I found. If I had found it tomorrow, I wouldn’t have been able to use it.

As the reforging would have moved ahead with other materials to use it.

I appeared beside my core, and it had disappeared. I picked its tools and began working on the things. 

Today, the second stage of reforging would be finished and from tomorrow, the last one will begin. It will take fifteen to twenty days in the core, about a week out of outside time.

It will be a few days later, but that is fine; I would need at least another month before my inheritance is finished and I make a breakthrough.

The black centurion lotus will act as the main ingredient for it.

I wonder how many petals the process would take. I hope, at one would remain. I have a use for it, and I don’t want to, the one from the Earth Sovereign level lotus.

Hours passed, and I kept working, before finally stopping.

I got out of my core and meditated before eating the breakfast that my clone cooked.

I only had a few more minutes before it is time to leave.

I put the abode back into my storage and started the journey toward the exit. My heart couldn’t help but beat wildly.

The ruin was fun, and I have got many things, but now it is time to return to the real world.

Three hours and seven minutes later, I stopped inside a collapsed building, and in front of me is a rift. It is a small one but is big enough that someone like me could pass through easily.

I checked the rift and, seeing the result; I know it is legit.

If the information provided by Magnus is right; then this rift leads to the northern part of the Kaliv region, and the Senan mountain range. 

It is not a small area; several Earth Sovereign organizations are there and one Sky Sovereign level.

I hope I am not unlucky as last time and enter the private land on any organization or I would once again become a prisoner or worse, a slave.

I would hate if something like this happens, but it is a risk I need to take.

I took a deep breath and floated toward the rift, before standing next to it; I remained there for a couple of seconds before jumping inside.

A moment later, I got out of the ruin and the first thing I felt was cold.
