Monster Integration

''Puchi!" The Body of the iron stilled and it lost it moments, this iron rat is one of the most annoying monsters I ever fought.

Despite its half meter size, it's damn sneaky and attacks with its sharp metallic nails whenever it got the slightest chance.

There are wound all over my body, its good thing I brought a lot of potions otherwise It would have been hell to pay.

I quickly drank the potion and sat by the tree, looking at the fight, it should be over at five minutes.

This is the only fight that jill finished before me, despite those iron rats having a higher speed than the rest, it is still paled compared to jill.

That and its low defense made easier for jill to quickly finish the fight.

Five minutes later, the fight finished and we started to move if one would look, he will find that our speed double than yesterday.

The intensity of the monster attacks kept increasing, we had to move fast to maintain our initial goal of reaching the core region forest in nine days but it will very hard to follow that timeline.

We kept moving fast, without stopping, every now few minutes some monsters attacks but were they dealt by Corporal grade evolvers.

''Change the course!" Rachel shout comes out from the front, the scouts must detect some kind of danger.

We, now and then change the direction as scouts warned us of the danger.

This forest is a little weird, here monster of species live in a big group, even feline monster who prefer extremely small group or hunt solo are found in hundreds around some area, that is why we get attacked by a large group of monsters but it is not everywhere.

William had said, that in the core region horde of many monsters will attack us at the same time.

I shuddered whenever I thought about that, today is the fifth day and we will reach the core region on the 7th day sometimes, fighting a horde of powerful monster will be very dangerous, some people may turn up dead.

Some people here had experience of fighting the horde, as westblood city yearly attacked by a monster horde.

I also had some experience and I know how dangerous would be fighting them, hour and hours of fighting without any rest, it will be extremely dangerous.

As we were walking on the change route, we heard the heavy footsteps as if every step causing the small earthquake.

Our group suddenly stopped and became battle ready, I scouts had quickly come running from that direction and their faces look little pale.

They softly talked with Rachel and her expression turned serious, she stayed silent for while contemplating but then expression become resolute for some reason.

''Dangerous monsters are coming and there is no reason in running." Rachel said loudly.

"We will fight the monsters here, consider these monsters to a tiny glimpse of core region!" she said and waited for loud footsteps to come closer.

"Gasp!" I gasp seeing monsters coming out of, I've never seen such monster before.

I've been warned by William though that there is there will be this kind of monsters though.

That foreign energy is not only made monsters stronger and madder, it also mutated them.

The more concentrate this foreign in their body, the more chances of mutation will occur in their bodies.

The monsters are bears, humanoid bear, they looked giants with their hight of being between 6 meters to eight meters.

Not only that, their whole bodies are black with layer on black earth covering their whole body.

''Roar!" They come to us with a loud roar, there seem to more than two hundred of them and more are kept coming.

"Be careful this fight will be really dangerous?" I said jill as I saw bears coming toward us with loud footsteps.

They looked really scary and with ferocious faces and sharp claws, if that claw were to hit anyone head, his head will directly be squashed like a watermelon.

''Fuck!" I cursed loudly, in Humanoid black earth bears, I barely sense any initial level Specialist grade monsters.

There is very few initial level monster amongst them, I just hope I will get a chance to fight the initial level monster.

''Roar!" A group of black earth bears came towards us, my face paled seeing all them mid-level and peak level monster.

''Shit!" I cursed when I mid-level black earth bears coming over us roaringly.

''Looks like we will have to handle it, till help arrives!" I said to jill and she nodded in affirmation.

The black earth bear let out loud roar and attack toward us with its big claw.

"Whoosh!" The claw speed is swifter than expected, I dodge while jill countered it.

"Clank!" As she countered, the sparks let out in the point of contact, except for small scratch, her sword wasn't able to do anything.

I am quite surprised to see that, her strength near equal to mine with me using the twenty-fourth move of supreme combat exercise but with that, her sword only able to create a scratch over its skin.

''Roaar" it let out a roar and attack jill which gave me chance to attack, using full strength while circulating supreme combat exercise, I attacked back of Black earth bear.

"Clank clank!" I attacked it two times but before I attacked it with my third, it attacks me with its claw, with so swift speed that it would hit me before I could dodge.

Gritting my teeth, I move my shield before me to receive the attack, this is going to hurt bad.

''Bang!" "Puh!" as I receive them its attack on my shield, I directed vomited blood due to shock and had to take a few steps back.

If not for jill distracting it, it would have followed and attacked me again.

Quickly stabilizing my self, I check my injuries.

My face turned quite serious seeing sensing my injuries, my injuries neither heavy nor light but it wouldn't take them long to turn serious.

Stabilizing myself, I look to see jill fighting against the monster, her condition quite good, having speed and nimbleness she can easily fight against a monster who isn't major in extreme speed.

''Jill, keep it occupied, I am going use my skill!" I said loudly, she nodded while fighting and intensified her attack making a monster roar in frustration.

''First Tide!" I shouted and attacked its shoulder.

"Clank!" big clank heard and a spark flew but that all, except for minute crack, there is damage on it.

"Second tide!" without wasting time and attack towards its back, with jill occupying it, I can easily attack

"Clank clank clank!" I attack it back three times in fury but I got extremely shocked by seeing the result, except for few cracks there is no damage it skin.

"Bang!" "Puh puh!" I hit by bears claw when I still shocked over bears defenses, its good thing that I instinctively move my shield front of me otherwise my injuries would have been more serious.
