Monster Integration (Web Novel)

Pushing away the disappointment; I stepped away from the rift and walked toward another one, where the compass leading me.

There are thousands of such rifts in this place and I will find the one I need eventually.

The only thing I need to do is to remain careful. This place is dangerous and huge, and I am only in the outer skirts of it.

Now that I looked at this place. I think I should have taken the information and map from the Earth Sovereigns and not just the Sovereign.

The Earth Sovereign would have much detailed information about this place.

I thought the basic info would be enough for me, seeing my goal, but now, I think, it might be a little wrong to think that.

Though it is not a huge deal. I was not completely wrong in my thinking, either.

I had thought that because I had sensed several Earth Sovereigns in here. Many of them are staying on the outskirts, but some are going deeper.

I am a little curious to know whether. They have only come here for the resources or something more.

Well, it doesn't matter to me, even if it made me curious.

I have enough things in my storage and didn't need anything else, other than a way to get out of this realm.

Though I am collecting the resources; I am coming across, and my speed is quite good.

My strings are amazing, and with my clones, controlling them, I am harvesting every single resource I am coming across, without any problem.

There are not only the plants my strings are taking but also the ores and crystals.

This place is littered with it. The dense energies made all kinds of resources appear here; sometimes, even things came out of rifts and created a special environment.

Like the one I am passing through.

It is an area of a few hundred meters, covered with purple energy, which has made even the soil purple. There is grass growing in it, with shining blue stalks.

The grass is extremely poisonous, that not even Peak Earth-Sovereign dare to walk on it.

I don't mind. I have guarded myself well against the poison here and taken some of the grass. Though, I am being careful not to awaken the monster sleeping beneath the earth.

It is quite powerful, and I am not its match; it would be better if it didn't wake up.

A few minutes passed, and I reached the rift, and I only shook my head before passing by it. The rift was bigger than the last, and I might not even be able to expand it, but it is highly unstable.

It was shaking.

Hun!

I was walking toward another rift when I stopped and turned back. A few seconds later, a Bear Beastman appeared in front of me.

"Found anything good?" he asked, to which I shook my head. "No, just general stuff," I replied.

"There is one place, slightly deep, that has a large number of resources," he said.

"Not interested," I replied, immediately.

It surprised him and I could see a spark of anger in his eyes, but he controlled his emotions and sweetened the smile.

"There are resources like kashasr flowers and vloass fruits," he said, to that, I shook my head. "I am sorry, but I am not interested," I replied and walked away.

Those two resources are really enticing, but I have a job to do.

I could feel him glaring at me in anger, but I didn't ever glance at him. He wouldn't attack me; even an idiot won't be idiot enough to attack in a place like this.

There are monsters and while good stealth methods and dense energies cloud one's presence here.

Once attacked, it will be sensed by all the monsters in the vicinity and a person could forget about escaping.

Even information provided by the organizations to Sovereigns. There is a warning there to not fight in this place; it will not be a danger to them, but also to others.

It turned out that if the monsters got agitated too much, to go out of this place into the region.

Killing anything and everything that came into their way.

He walked away after muttering something under his breath while I went to where the compass took me.

A few hours passed, and I checked tens of rifts that the compass had taken me to, and till now, I have yet to find a single rift that could take me out of this realm.

I knew it would be difficult, but I didn't think, it would be this difficult.

I am heading deeper into the region, where there are more rifts, but it is also dangerous.

It wasn't long ago that a rift came at incredible speed. I was barely able to dodge it. If I hadn't, it would have cut me in two.

I wish things would have been simple, but they are not and are becoming more dangerous with every step I take inside.

There is nothing that could be done about that.

A few more hours passed and, once again, I continued to meet with disappointments. That made me wish that I had an artifact similar to Magnus.

It would have made things very easy for me.

That artifacts of his had revealed hi hundreds of exits in the realm within a few minutes. If I had something like that, I wouldn't have been searching for the exit.

I would have already been on the other side.

I once again appeared in front of another exit and took out the red crystal.

Buzz!

It activated and began to scan it before returning to my hand.

I seeped my soul sense inside and scanned the data. For a moment, a hope lit up in my face. Before it burned down, it had happened many times in the past few hours.

The initial data looks good, but later parameters were bad.

It is connected to the other side, and I could even safely expand it, but when I try to enter it to reach the other side, problems would occur.

It is a risk to enter such a rift.

Still, I marked it down. If I didn't find anything better, I might choose this rift.

Hun!

A few minutes passed, and I scanned another dug rift when I had sensed something. I thought for a moment before walking toward it cautiously.

A little more than ten minutes later; I saw a battle.

There are seven people fighting against the three monsters.

Those monsters are powerful. I am not a match for a single one of them, but these seven people are fighting them on equal ground.

All of them are Peak Earth-Sovereign, with above-average strength, and belong to the same organization, and that made things quite interesting.

These are the seeds of the organization; they wouldn't let such a large number of them come here without a valid reason.

They must be here for something.

I wanted to push away the curiosity, but it wouldn't go away. So, I added the forbidden power to my soul sense and spread it further and further, covering more ground.

I was about to give up and pull my soul sense back when I suddenly stopped.
