Monster Integration

Chapter 2370 Injured

I landed injured on the Pyramid; nearly every part of me was broken and bleeding; despite such advantage in the past month, I was still nearly dead by the hands of the Grimm Monster.

’The power of the council level Grimm Monster is too great,’ I said inside me as the people came and lifted me before taking me to the hospital. A few familiar faces have appeared and begun to operate on me.

It had been little more than a month since I had killed the eight Grimm Monsters, seven technically since the one died as a meat shield, which is such a regret since I wasn’t able to harvest a wonderful essence rose out of it.

Since then, I have been regularly on the mission to kill the Grimms, though these missions are very sneaky, and I would usually target one or two Grimms, not a huge bunch like I had done a month ago.

The Grimms have become extremly careful, and I have begun to spot a very sophisticated detection seal in the Grimm Monsters since the first week. 

The seal is very impressive, but unfortunately, it is looking for an invisible thing, and my seeds are not invisible. They just meld with one’s body so well that they became part of them, and detecting them is near impossible.

Still, I studied the seal very carefully despite it being in Grimm runes and got a quite lot of inspiration for it. I was also able to crack it; it took quite a work, and I would have been able to do it sooner if it had been in the regular runes, but what matters is that I did.

It is one of the reasons I got daring or over-confident, as some might say, and nearly ended up losing my life.

It is a good thing I escaped, as of right before the spatial rift closed, I had sensed the aura of Royal, and this aura felt stronger than that of the Frost Chimpman. If I had been second later in escaping, then now I would be getting tortured in the hands of Grimm Monsters or dead.

With the trusty people operating me, I let go of myself before waking up in what felt minutes and days at the same time.

”How are you feeling?” asked Teacher as I opened my eyes, “Bad,” I replied in a faint dry voice; it is not just I am feeling bad, my condition is bad. There are still quite a lot of injuries in my body, which I will have to heal myself.

Still, looking at my condition, I don’t think I will be able to join the battlefield for ten to fifteen days.

The no hold back attack of the council-member level powerhouse is no joke; even with my shields, I had ended up in this condition. I would have fared a little better if I had burned my blood, but there was no time.

Like I had said, it is a miracle that I had even survived.

”You should rest; the council wanted to talk to you in the evening,” She said; I nodded with a strained grateful smile before closing my eyes.

Soon, I was inside my core, and immediately I brought out the healing formation and began to make changes in it. I need to make changes according to my injuries for maximum efficiency.

Buzz!

It took me a few minutes to make the required changes, place the resources and activate the formation.

After I activated the formation, I took a sigh and lay on the grass thinking what I had suffered a day and a half ago and how I will have to be even more careful now that the Grimms have painted a huge red mark on me.

There is a freaking Royal Order on me; the moment I was spotted, they would send a Royal at me, one of the twenty-one most powerful Grimms in the world. I am the second person to have that after Jill in the younger generation.

I lay on the grass for an hour before I had finally got up and walked toward the small lake and fire within it.

The fire fountain is making changes in the lake; since it had appeared, it had shrunk the size of the lake by 10%. It is not a bad thing, considering the water has become even more concentrated and could be used for more things than before.

There are bigger changes that had appeared in my core than my lake, especially when it compares to what it was two months ago when I had harvested quite a lot of resources in my core.

Now, every plant is filled with resources, and every plant has Grandmaster class resources on it, including the new ones I had planted not long ago.

These resources are my foundation; they are not only helpful to me but also to my research which has become even more focused since I have gotten the data from the Rhinoman; it is really a treasure that continues to help me.

I looked at my treasure before I went back to my study station and focused on the ambitious project; I have made great progress in it in the past two months, far greater than I had imagined it to be.

I have already finished 80% of it, and a month would be more than enough to finish off the rest of 20%. 

Initially, I had thought it would take me at least six months, but now I will be finishing it within three months. Even Leonard will not be ready in three months, which is a good thing as I will be able to make even greater changes, and there are some ideas I want to try.

They will give him a huge strength boost if they are successful.

I worked on it for a couple of hours before choosing to work on my armor, and a few hours after that, I seeped my consciousness into the tome to practice a very complicated cooking technique.

Before I know it, the evening has arrived, and it is time for another meeting with the council.
