Monster Integration

"There is no other option than leave and come back after solving the formation," The woman said as she looked at all of us.

"We already have the key of section master, and unless the Grimm Monsters have the palace master's key, they will have to come here old fashioned way and not to mention we will be keeping tight on this ruin till we get ritual conductors in our hands," She added.

Everyone thought for a while before nodding, "Let's leave then," Thirty-three said, and four of us walked toward the door without wasting a second.

This time instead of breaking the formation, I used the key and which immediately opened the door for us and we have walked out of the ritual hall.

"Shall we deal with Grimm Monsters outside or leave directly?" Marla said the question that had been on everyone's mind.

It had stopped us for a second, and we all looked at each other, "While fighting them would be tempting, we should leave; there are at twelve Grimm Monsters outside and might be someone at the level of that Grey Mane Lionman."

"There might be even more people hiding that we are anticipating, not to mention we will be fighting outside, which will give them an easy road to escape, and our identities and abilities would be revealed," The women said.

"I agree with leaving; it will be fun to leave those bastards guessing how we finished off such large numbers without them noticing," Marla said and looked at us. "It is fine by me," I answered, and thirty-three also nodded a few seconds later.

A few minutes later, we walked out of the section and stopped; without isolation, we could activate our beacons and leave.

"Let's get out of here," Marla said and activated her beacon, and three seconds later, she disappeared. A second after that, thirty-three also disappeared.

"See you on the other side, Micheal," said the woman as the mist around her dispersed, showing me her real face. "Yes, I will see on the other side, professor," I said with a smile without any surprise.

The woman is Professor Josphine; I identified her the moment she had called out my name with the real voice. She had made amazing progress in such a short time, which is not surprising seeing she had a Bloodline core.

She disappeared a second later, and now it is my time to leave, but I will not. I looked at the cuff attached to my sleeve, and next second, a pink layer covered it; it would help me resist the teleportation call on the other side.

"You guys have only ten minutes, and remember, there should be no proof and also leave those who have bloodlines to me," I said to Ashlyn and Nero.

I would have left with my teammates, but Ashlyn had started bugging me fighting; she was so insistent that I had to relent. Nero, on the other hand, did not say anything about the fight, but since he is extremely competitive with Ashlyn, he came out to fight as well.

"Understood, father," Nero said before he chased after Ashlyn.

With the key, it took us a minute to get out, and the moment we did, we attacked the Grimm Monsters, or rather they did while I remained on the sidelines and expanded my strings toward the two or three if I consider the Grimm Monster that is hiding.

All three of them have bloodlines, and I want to harvest them all; earlier, there were four Grimm Monsters with bloodlines, I was only able to kill one, the Lionman, while the rest three were killed by my teammates, which was quite regretful, I hate it when I did not get to harvest the Grimm Monsters with bloodline.

It took Ashlyn a second to kill her first Grimm Monster, but I am more shocked by the way Nero had killed his.

His small body rapidly expanded, and it became bigger, bigger than even Grimm Monsters. Easily noticed by every Grimm Monster in an immediate area, all of them attacked him, which he discarded before swallowing the Grimm Monster that is close to it before moving toward another.

It had shocked the Grimm Monsters as it had shocked me, and Ashlyn quickly took advantage of the shock and sliced up the neck of another huge Grimm Monster and disappeared before anyone could catch her, and at the same moment, Nero appeared in front of another Grimm Monster and swallowed it up with its powerful attack.

I watched with shock what was happening; these Grimm Monsters are not the normal ones, but the ones that just step away from Grandmaster class but these two are killing them like they are chickens.

In just a few seconds, horror had spread across the battlefield, one Grimm Monster even activated its beacon to leave, but before it could, it was cut into two by Ashlyn's metallic wing, which had become tens of time longer for a second.

One by one, Grimm Monsters got killed, till only two had remained, though there are five that had remained, three are mine, who are trying to activate their beacons but failing for some reason.

Nero and Ashlyn moved toward the last two Grimm Monsters, who are closer to each other; their speed is even faster than mine; it only took them a second to reach their target.

As Nero reached his target, he immediately opened his mouth to swallow two of them and nearly captured them in his mouth when he stopped and returned to his original size, as Ashlyn had turned two Grimm Monsters into four.

It seemed to make him very angry, but he only showed for a second before a cute fawning smile appeared on his face, and he hopped toward Ashlyn before started praising her great power so such flowery words that I got quite dumbstruck hearing them.

I couldn't help but be shook seeing Nero's behavior. If he keeps acting like that, he is going to get beaten hard by Ashlyn, but I am not going to tell him that; he is young and should learn that himself.
