Monster Integration

”You little thief! You stole the words I was about to say to you,” I said accusingly while pointing the finger at it.

I could tell it had irked it very much, and it even opened its mouth to curse me before closing it and just glared.

I only gave it a glance before turning toward the battle, which is still raging; the Bullman and Fishman are dominating the Grandmaster Shi, giving him many injuries, but he is still fighting. To kill him, the Grimms would have to do much more than dominate him.

I had inserted one of my inspection seeds into the Grandmaster Shi earlier, and he is fine, injured but fine.

The injuries have not reached the stage where they could affect him in the battle. Still, I was ready to assist him if it needed to be, and Rhinoman was ready to block. Hell, whole Grimms and Human Grandmasters would join the battle instantly if the things escalated.

Half an hour passed, and the battle was still raging between the Grandmaster Shi and others. The Grimms seemed to be adamant about beating the Grandmasters as both of them were slowly tapping into their reserve.

The question is whether they will tap the complete reserve or just do it partially. I would really love it if they tapped into their reserves; it would provide me more data.

Forty more minutes have passed, and it is clear that they are not willing to tap very deeply into their reserved, despite having such an edge over the Grandmaster Shi; with their unwillingness, the battle would not last forever.

I was right; about fifteen minutes later, they have pushed back Grandmaster Shi but did not attack immediately.

”Be grateful we are not willing to kill you yet, human,” Bullman said grandly, “You are welcome to come at me anytime, Grimms,” replied Grandmaster Shi as he wiped the blood off his lips!

”Humph!”

The Bullman harrumphed and cast a glance at me before beginning to make the retreat with the Fishman while Rhinoman remained in its place, guarding against the attack I might launch on them.

”Do you want to go for another round?” I asked Rhinoman as my sword appeared in my hand. It just looked at me without changing its expressions before fading out of view.

”It is such a disappointment; I really wanted to go for another round,” I said a little loudly. The Rhinoman is still close to me; it had just turned invisible, which I have to say is quite a stealth method, and I want to study the ghost constitution further.

I looked at the place where Rhinoman is, indicating I could see it clearly before turning back and moving toward the tower.

I also faded out of view as I moved toward the tower while watching the beautiful scenery around me. If I survived the war and we still have this place under control, I will definitely come here for the vacation; I already added it to the list of places I want to vacation on.

Hun!

Suddenly, I sensed something from the ocean below me; it was very faint but, without a doubt, a fluctuation of rule-bending power, and this rule-bending power is mine; not that I had seen anyone having it, but it is definitely mine.

It had confused me greatly because I have never been here, and I have only used rule-bending power in my seeds which I could sense clearly in the Grimms, and this rule-bending power is not coming from those seeds.

Not to raise any alarm, instead of using my soul sense, I used extremely thin string and sent it below the ocean toward the very faint fluctuation of rule-bending power, and soon, I reached the source.

The moment I saw the source, my expressions couldn’t help but change drastically. So, drastically that I am grateful, I am invisible; otherwise, I would not have been able to control them before all the grandmasters saw them.

”I’ll be damned!” I exclaimed with a shock; I had not thought this thing would survive, and looking at things, it had done much more than survive.

I immediately sent the most powerful investigative seed I had through the strings while landing on the small island and took out a fishing rod to fish. 

The Grimms could see what I was doing and let them see it and scratch their brains apart while I investigated this shocking discovery I had made. 

I am looking at a Grimm Monster from the Blackstone Rhinoman tribe, which is at Leader class of Tyrant stage, but one and a half years ago, it was an Emperor just like I was in the Devil’s Gate, and now, it is a leader class Tyrant; such quick progress makes it a very talented Grimm.

Looking at metaphysical scan, it had worked quite hard to gain such strength, and its bloodline has helped a lot.

The one thing that confused me was the survival of the tracking seed, which should have self-destructed long ago. I have programmed them in such a way that they would self-destruct if the host reaches the Tyrant stage, but it did not happen.

For reasons unknown, the tracking seed I had placed in this Rhinoman did not exist self-destruct as I had programmed it to be; instead, it had somehow merged with the Grimm Monster.

I am currently looking at the extent to which it had merged, and the more I looked, the more shocked I became.

From what I could see, it had merged very deep inside me, and it had happened when it was leveling up to the Tyrant stage and most likely due to the interference of the bloodline.
