Monster Integration (Web Novel)

'Veil of Azure,'

I said, and a shimmering green veil of metal and wind appeared in front of me, dense blocking every way toward me while still giving me complete freedom to move.

Ting Ting Ting

The sharp melodious sound began to ring out, its sharp needle-like hair stuck against my defensive method. The defensive method had grown even stronger than now, that thousands of fine attacks struck against it, it did not even much shake.

'Will of Azure!'

I did not hold back and launched one of my most powerful attacks. There is no need to hold back when I know I could have this Grimm Monster; I might as well go all out killing it.

As I had activated the move, the phantom of a lady of Azure materialized behind me and in all its glory.

A regal woman in dark green metallic armor is sitting on a throne that seemed made of the air. It is hard to see her facial features, but anyone who dares to look at her face feels like their eyes are being pierced by the thousands of blades.

I don't know much about the lady of Azure whose bloodline I have, but the memories I have gained from the bloodline paint a glorious picture of her, and it could be said that fighting style had been greatly influenced by her.

The azure power flooded out of the bloodline and filled me. It was so great that I felt like suffocating under it.

I did not let it overwhelm me, and I spread it fully across me and into my sword, which is now extremely close to it.

"Don't think you could do anything to me, human!" The Steelfur Houndman shouted at me, and there was no fear in its eyes as if it would be able to deal with this powerful attack of mine without any problem.

"Fortress of Steel!"

It roared, and powerful metallic energy poured out of its body and spread across him, forming twenty inches thick steely armor across its body. It seemed defense enough it would even survive if someone had thrown a mountain at it.

Seeing the powerful defense made of powerful metallic energy appear on its body, I did not hold back either and poured all my power into my sword.

CLANG!

My sword struck across its chest, and I felt a powerful clash of metallic energies against my sword. They begin to pour down from all the sides, concentrating against my sword, forgetting the defense of any other part.

It surprised me greatly; I had never thought its defense would be able to concentrate on the singular point as such strategy is quite risky when then there are tens of attacks coming, but it is quite fit for the current scenario.

My sword moved deeper and deeper inside it, but as the metalic energies clashed against my bloodline energy, they started to whittle away the power of my sword.

The momentum of my sword begins to slow down fast; the steely energy is whittling away the momentum at an extraordinary degree. Despite that, my sword was able to pierce through its defensive method, but I did not celebrate as my sword had lost nearly all its power.

"Human, it is time for you to die!" said the Steelfur Hounman as its steel claw grabbed my sword at lightning speed, and others came at me.

It had just attacked when suddenly its expression changed. Neela, who had not participated in the battle till now, had finally moved with more than a meter-long needle connected to her right gauntlet.

The three stripes of claws had disappeared, replaced by need at an extremely sharp point, but the thing is that needle did not include any fear. The Steelfur Houndman did not even look at it, fully confident in his defensive method to deal with it while it focused on me.

KRRRR!

Its claw finally clashed against my defensive method and felt like it had clashed against a really fast-spinning metal wheel, seeing the sound and sheer amount of sparks it is releasing.

"Claws of Steelhelm!"

It shouted out loudly, and a powerful aura blasted of it before covering its claw so thickly that it had formed the second metallic layer.

KRRRRR…

The claw, which had been stopped by my defensive method, started to descend down slowly, destroying every defense that came in my way. Seeing the way it is going, it will take a second for it to destroy my defense.

While its claw is clawing through my defense, Neela's long needle had finally touched its defensive method and begin to pierce through it. It also faced a similar type of defense as I, but the level of defense is much lower than mine.

I have whittled away quite a lot of power of its defensive method, and it is helping Neela. The Steelfur Houndman did not seem to be concerned by it and doubled down on crushing my defensive method.

Rip!

"Die now, human!" It said with a wide grin on its face as its claw finally tore through my defense. "Not yet!" I replied to him with a similar grin. I am not an idiot and would not have fought such riskily if I did not have a sure plan in my mind to save my own skin.

"Cloak of Azure!"

I said, and faint wind could be felt across me, and at the same time, hundreds of metallic leaves appeared around me, surrounding me from all directions. This is the new defensive method Ive got; Ive gotten it just this morning amidst the torture I had faced.

This defensive method is more powerful than the last one and also extremely powerful and complicated; I have barely been able to activate it with my current power.

The Steelfur Houndman did not seem surprised by it, it had expected I would have something like it as its aura exploded further and a dangerous dark grey layer appeared on its claw, and the power of it had increased exponentially.
