Monster Integration

In just a couple of seconds, it had gone through a profound transformation. It had grown more than double and also turned semi-corporal with hundreds of silvery grey tendrils moving around its body.

”Die Human!” 

It roared in a ghostly voice, and to surprise, that very moment, I found its huge blade in front of me. Its attack was so fast that I had barely able to catch it. Thankfully, I had made the preparation to deal with such an attack when the aura exploded from its body.

CLANNNG!

The power of the third boost exploded from my veins, and my sword clashed against its huge saber. The sound was defeaning, and the shockwave was so powerful that it had immediately vaporized the water below us and created a huge sinkhole.

That was just the beginning, and it had attacked again with even greater power. This time, I had focused so intently on its blade, but despite that, I was barely able to catch a glimpse of it.

CLANNNG CLANNNG CLANNNG!

Feeling I should not take a risk with my life, I immediately activated ‘Crown of Roses’ as I barely defended against its attack.

Next second, I couldn’t be more thankful for my decision as the attacks of it got stronger and faster rapidly, and it had brought me on with the technique that was so smooth that despite its attack being so huge, I had to use my everything to predict the attack.

This is one of the great disadvantages we new powerhouses have against these old ones, who have decades and in its centuries to develop their own combat style that bright out every ounce of their power efficiently.

Due to it, despite similar or even greater power, the new powerhouses die under the blades of the old.

Only a few very talented ones could quickly learn and develop a style of their own to deal against these oldies or the ones with bloodlines.

I am very jealous of the impartment those bastards get from their bloodline; it makes them an expert combat fighters without much work. I have a huge amount of combat data, but I could not use it currently.

If I could find a way to impart it in me safely without creating a clash with my own understanding of combat, it would increase my strength tremendously, but it is not easy. It is psych and soul I would be dealing with, the slightest mistake, and I might turn myself into the vegetable.

So, I will not touch that part, no matter how enticing it is, with the huge amount of combat data I have.

Currently, I am using a combat style that is different than mine. There are special departments of Grandmasters and humans that specifically establish to study each and every move of the powerhouses, especially the Grandmasters.

If I use my signature fighting style, it won’t take long for them to ascertain my identity despite my perfect disguise. 

The ghost in front of me moved strangely, attacking with the fashion that very few would be able to deal with before getting a few blows landing on them or just cut apart by its ghostly. 

It is all because of the ‘Crown of Roses’ I am able to deal with its strange attacks without suffering any damage.

While I am fine, the Grandmaster is not so; with the two Grandmasters attacking, he has gone on completely defensive. The thing that makes it worse is the synergy the two Grimm have; their perfect teamwork barely lets Grandmaster do anything other than defending.

Though, there is one silver lining in this battle; seeing the way Grandmaster is defending against these two, it did not seem to be his first time fighting these Grimms together.

He seemed to have quite an experience fighting them, seeing the way he is avoiding their sophisticated traps.

The Grimms are hiding quite a power, and if they exploded with everything they have, they might create a lot of trouble. I am keeping a close eye on the battle, and if I see Grandmaster coming across a serious danger, I will take action.

CLANNNG CLANNNG CLANNNG

This ghost I am fighting is also quite tough; it is using its power very efficiently; even among the Grandmasters, such efficiency is rare. 

The only ones I have seen have ever-greater efficiency are the vidette, with no chance of future growth. They focus on making their attacks as efficient as possible; they spend every moment of their life in that pursuit.

Hun!

It was coming at me with more and more powerful moves when suddenly, I sensed something faint from it. It had instantly made me cautious, and following my instinct, I harnessed every bit of power I had in my body.

I was very wise to that as that very moment, its huge sword in front of me burned into ghostly silver flames that scared the shit out of me, and that huge sword blazing with burning ghostly flame is less than an inch away from clashing against my sword.

There is no way I could avoid it, nor do I want to avoid it.

CLANNNNG!

My sword against the huge sword of the Rhionoman, and they did, a huge wall of ghostly silvery flames clashed against the equally big wall of bright red flames, each trying to push each other back, but none succeeded.

I have created this fire on the basis of Rai’s hell dragon fire which is extremely powerful, and I have to say, I have done a pretty great job at it.

The two flames clashed, trying to burn the other with their power but ended up burning each other. Every second, they got smaller and smaller as they burned each other till a minute later, nothing of them have remained.

The only things that remained were our locked swords.
