Monster Integration

It was Nero who had found the place; it was underground, dilapidated like the rest except for the gemmed door, which seemed to be in good condition.

Five Grimm Grandmasters are staring at the gemmed door. The door is metallic, but it had thousands of gemmed runes moving around. Every second, these gemmed runes would form a new formation, leaving one scratching their head on the way to solve it.

"Aleigari puzzle," I whispered as I saw the changing runes; this is a very complicated puzzle of a thousand changes category. This means there are a thousand formations, and one will have to solve all of them to clear the puzzle.

Which would take months and some years; most of the rune specialists are not even capable of solving it.

There is one short way to solve it; it is to find the core formation of all thousand formations and solve it. Which is called the central key, and it is not easy to get.

The puzzle box I have found in the realm has this kind of puzzle; it had taken me quite a lot of time, more than I had to spend before I devised a personal way to solve these formations; still, it takes time.

"That old fox shouldn't take long to solve this formation," I said as I looked at only Mid level Grimm Grandmaster standing among the five powerful Grandmaster. It is from the silver-fur Foxman tribe and quite famous among the rune grandmasters.

Many formations created by this bastard have given us quite a pain; it has even killed many of us and is known to be very slippery.

Many of our peak Grandmasters have failed to kill it; it always survives through some strange methods.

This bastard has the capability to solve the aleigari puzzle, and if that bastard had not been standing next to it, I would have asked Nero to kill it, but with it present, I would not take the risk.

The one I am worried about is Bullman called Dasfr; it is from the regular Bullman tribe but practiced the strange body art which gave it an impeccable defense that it had fought against the Grand Commander a few months ago and live to tell the tale.

It is a high Grandmaster possessing great defensive but also offensive power; it is not a normal High Grandmaster, but someone coven sends when there is important business. It is said, the leader of a coven trusts it as much as the elders of its tribe.

I looked through Nero's eyes, and within a minute, I had a thousand variations of copied and transferred 60% of consciousness power to my avatar, which began to solve it.

This is a complex puzzle, an aleigari puzzle of thousand variations and much harder than the hundred variations and five hundred variations. Still, I am confident I could solve it despite the old Foxman having a lead of day over me.

I do not think my abilities are worse than the old fox, and I have three more times than it. I will beat the old Foxman; the only thing I have to do is reach there in time.

Even at my current speed, I would need at least forty more hours, which is a little more than one and half days. I wish I could go faster, but I could not, this is my fastest speed, and I am taking a huge risk by flying at such speed.

Hun!

I had just thought that when I sensed the danger, I looked toward it when I saw a flesh golem, and it was coming toward me.

Normally, it is very hard to sense me when I am flying, but I am flying at my top speed. At this speed, I did not even care to activate my stealth ability, as it was just a waste of energy. With speed, I am flying; those with sufficiently high sensory abilities or good ears will hear me.

In just a few seconds, the flesh golem appeared close to me, and I was surprised to see it. It is from another race I have not read about before.

It is a small being, barely a meter tall, and is thin and has green skin; it also has only had a little wider mouth and sharp teeth that could tear through my bone. In its thin hand, it is a golden and needle-like sword.

To be honest, I really don't want to fight against the peak fleshmancer; I would have been happy to fight against one before, considering they possess precious treasures, but now, I just want to get away.

I would have been able to get away or even kill it within a minute if it had been an initial or Mid Grandmaster class flesh golem, but this one Peak Grandmaster class golem, and seeing the speed it had came at me, I could forget about running away from it.

"Die!"

It shouted in high pitched voice when it had reached a hundred-meter distance from me and suddenly disappeared, only to appear behind me with its needle sword going straight for my head.

'Fuck!'

I couldn't help but curse inside me, and the power of the 'First Boost+ Second Boost' boost had filled me, and I whipped my sword back toward the coming needle.

CLANG!

My sword was barely able to clash against it. If my speed had been a little bit slower or my fighting skill had been not at the current stage, the needle sword of this imp would have definitely nailed my head.

That was just a trailer of its power as it disappeared and appeared in front of me with its needle sword coming for my eyes.

'Shit!' I cursed again and brought my sword in front of me; as it did, the changes began to appear in my sword. It started to become slimmer, and those who are observing it clearly would also sense its weight is also lessening.

Fighting such a fast, programmed enemy who uses such a thin weapon and fights in textbook style; A heavy longsword is not a viable weapon. I need something lighter and faster to match against its quickness and agility, only this way I will be able to survive against it long enough to kill it.
