Monster Integration

As I had activated the 'First Boost,' and strength like never before had spread in my body with the speed that shocked me.

Earlier it used to take few microseconds for the power of 'First Boost' to spread through me, but this time it is instant, and the strength that had spread through my body many times greater than before.

The changes that Diamond Seal had brought seemed to have made my runes even more efficient.

"World Striker!"

While I was shocked with the power of the first boost, the Black Bearman attacked, and its attack was very powerful.

Black Runes have spread across its whole hammer, and it looked like it did have the strength to strike the world. Though I know there is a mental attack mixed in it to make me feel that way, I still couldn't help but be impressed by the power behind the attack.

Seeing its attack coming, I swung my sword toward it. My sword looked plain compared to its cool blue runic Warhammer, but no one could deny the power behind it; even the Grimm Monsters' eyes got serious seeing it.

CLANNG!

Our weapons clashed again, creating an even bigger forcefield and noise, most of which had been absorbed by the tile we were standing in while rest spread, catching the gaze of quite a lot of people.

Our Inheritance Energy and Bloodline Energy also clashed while its bloodline armor destroyed my Inheritance Energy; its Bloodline Energy immediately sucked my armor as it touched it and covered it.

"Little bear, you will have to try harder if you want to defeat me," I taunted. My taunt worked, and as rage-filled its eyes.

"You wretched human, I will destroy you with power, great Goreas bestowed upon me!" It roared, and its aura flared wildly as it swung its rune blaze Warhammer at me.

I would have liked to take the battle slow if I had not been on such a tight leash of time. I not only want to consume as many bloodlines as I could, but I also want to get a great rank in this challenge, first if possible.

CLANNG CLANNG CLANNG

Our weapons begin to clash frenziedly, creating an earthshaking forcefield that would be immediately absorbed by the tile we are standing on.

In its range, it is bringing out more and more power with each attack and respond to it; I have to harness more power from the first boost, which seemed to enormous power stored inside it.

I am very excited to see how much strength the First Boost could give me as I am sure this Bearman will have me harness it all to defeat it. Hell, there is even a high chance that I might have to use everwings power to defend it.

Our attacks have become faster, with each attack having more power than the previous.

"Goreas Might!" It roared suddenly, and a phantom of huge Bearman appeared behind it.

The phantom of Bearman is huge; it is over twenty meters tall, and when I looked at it, I felt like the gravity of the whole world bearing down on me; getting this feeling, I immediately looked away from the phantom.

The phantom has some power that I do not even understand, and it able affect me to such a degree means that Bearman's Bloodline is powerful, and it is able to harness a huge amount of power and benefits from it.

It is both good and bad news for me, good because I will harness a powerful Bloodline and bad because it is more powerful than I had thought, and I will have to use nearly all my power to defeat it.

The phantom had stayed behind it for a moment before it merged with it, and when its aura had skyrocketed to the unbelievable that air around it started to shake, and I begin to feel intense gravitation pressure from its body that wants to me to kneel.

Feeling such power, I did not hesitate and harnessed all the power I could from the 'First Boost' I do not want to take a chance when I sense such frightening power from my enemy.

"Wretched Human, Die!" It said and brough down its hammer at me.

Seeing the Warhammer coming down on me, I wanted to avoid it, but unfortunately, it is not an option; the tile its small for me to move anywhere, and if I jump to the next tile dodge, I will give it the perfect opportunity to hit me like a homerun.

I do not have the option to dodge, nor I want to; I am powerful enough to face such attacks head-on, and I will face it head-on.

With that thought, I swung my sword, and it moved toward the hammer with great power. Even if my sword is seven times smaller than a hammer and looked like a toothpick in front of it, it bears the power to face it head-on.

CLANNNG!

My sword clashed against its hammer and stopping it on its track. I could see the eyes of the Bearman popping out in shock seeing that, and it begins to pour more energy in its attack to push my sword back, but my sword held on, not moving an even inch under such pressure.

It continued to pressure me for few seconds, but when it found it is futile, it took back its hammer at the blurring speed before bringing it down with even more power than before.

CLANNNG CLANNNG CLANNNG

The hammer blazing with the runes clashed against my plain sword, wanting to crush it with every attack but not doing much against it.

While it may look like I am fine, but with its ever-increasing power of its attacks, I am harnessing everything I could from the first boost to match against it.

I had many times tried to circumvent its hammer to strike its body, but the bastard is quite skilled as its thwarted each of my attempts flawlessly.

Dammed these powerful bloodlines and transmission of knowledge they provide!
