Monster Integration

Gasp!

The natives and the Grimms gasped in unison as the dense bronze light fell on them.

It is comfortable and more than that; it begins to provide huge benefits. Like healing all the injuries, the body has and erases all curses, corruption, and other afflictions that people are suffering.

"Enter, by 1-6," said the Grimm and native Sky Sovereigns in unison.

Immediately, people started to move toward the gate. 

One native moved and on one other side, six Grimms. Right behind is another native and six Grimms and behind them another.

The Grimms and natives begin to enter the majestic grand temple.

It is big, but not begin enough, and has spirally designed, with a huge bronze cone on top. The cone is simple, without any design, but it radiates the golden bronze light that covers the whole temple.

Soon, it was my turn, and I moved immediately and within a second, six Grimms appeared beside me.

"It will be fun to eat you native; I am sure, you taste delicious," said the Tigerman beside me as we moved toward the gate.

"Thousands of said those words and turned to pretty crystal. I hope we will meet; I would love to add you to my collection," I said with a big smile. 

Immediately, the bloody grin disappeared from its face, and anger appeared. If we had not been here in the presence of all these Earth and Sky Sovereigns, it would have attacked me, and I would have loved that.

I only glanced at its glare for a moment before turning to the gate. We have appeared in front of it.

I didn't hesitate and stepped into the blindingly comfortable bronze light; the six Grimms beside me had done the same.

The bronze light disappeared, and I found myself in space, with a thin bronze mist. It is everywhere, and it is touching me, not only my physical body but also my soul and my core.

Though, unlike my body and soul, the mist repelled away from my core.

Seven seconds later, the mist began to recede, and I found myself in the center of the cave with twelve caves leading in different directions.

There was no name to the caves, just a number. I looked at all of them and walked toward the number eight. There is no specific reason for it; I just chose it.

I entered the cave and, to my surprise; it didn't take me to a different place, as I had expected it to. Instead, I saw the route, with came and it was wet, with drops of water falling from it.

For a moment, I thought the water was special, but a moment later, saw that it was normal water.

Perfectly fine to drink it and I drank a little.

I walked at a slow pace, in a cave, which was wet and even had some greenery. Like small plants like grass and algae.

I wanted to collect a sample of it and did, only to realize I couldn't take the thing in my core or my storage.

So, I put it back and continued walking.

The cave is old and unkept, which is unlike places like this which had been kept pristine by formations. 

It is not like there are no formations here, I think there are, but they are not focusing much on upkeep. Though, I am sure, they wouldn't let it fall into ruin either.

I must have walked for over ten minutes when I entered the large hall. In the hall, three coins are floating over a large circle drawn on the floor, which covers more than a third of the large hall.

I looked at three coins; they were normal coins; one was red metallic, is black crystal, and the third one seemed to have carved out of some kind of bluish transparent wood.

Around the coins, there is a snake is floating; is bronze snake made of energy, but feels like a real snake, with fluid movements.

Hun!

I looked at it for a few seconds before turning to the scroll, which was outside of the circle.

"Catch The Coin," I read the heading, before turning to read the runes below it.

The rules are simple enough. I have one minute to take the coins and there is no restriction on how many. If I wanted, I could take all three, but with every coin, the strength of the snake would double.

I have to do this with my physical body. 

All my energy and the soul power would be sealed the moment I entered the circle.

I looked at the runes once more and understood the things that were hidden in them. These challenges wouldn't be easy, but I have to do this.

Those coins looked good and it will also give me the idea of the kind of challenges I would face here.

I took a deep breath, deactivated my armor and sealed my magic. Though the circle would do it as I entered inside, I am doing it outside to be better prepared.

I didn't immediately enter the circle and started to walk around, getting used to the weakness and physical body, whose power wasn't being amplified by the inheritance.

For nearly ten minutes, I stood at the boundary of the circle and looked at the snake.

The moment it reached the position, I leaped into the circle.

My feet entered the circle, and the snake's bronze eyes flashed. It moved toward me with incredible speed. 

Which is as fast as mine, like the scroll had said.

Shar!

It came and made the noise, before striking me with its sharp blade. 

Rip!

I moved to avoid it, but the bastard had still cut me, and the cut was deep at the bone, and it hurt a lot, but I bore the pain and moved as fast as I could.

In a second, I reached for the blue wooden coin and swiped it from the air. The moment I did, the eyes of the snake blazed, and things got scary.
