Monster Integration

"I am impressed. Not many Alkaz's hunters have abilities like you. You had not only discovered me, but also followed me without me noticing," she said, and sparks of dark blue lightning materialized on her white rapier.

I didn't correct her mistake, instead smiled.

"There is nothing impressive about it. You are weak until you summon those tattoos, and as for recognizing you, it took some effort, but information made a little easier," I replied and shrugged.

I could see sparks of anger appearing in her eyes.

No one likes to be called weak, but cultists hated it. It is for strength, that most of these people join the cults.

"It is good that you have followed me. I now won't have to go and hunt another person, to fill the quota," she said and grinned.

She is alert, but there is no fear in her eyes. To her, I am just a person with good investigative abilities and stealth skills. Even if she wasn't able to kill me, she would easily be able to escape.

Burst 100%.

"I wouldn't be so confident," I said as the rapier appeared in my hand, while I activated the full burst.

My strength may have increased, but I would rather not take a risk enemy like her. She has an above-average strength, which is now being amplified by those marks.

If what I am feeling is right; she is considerably stronger than the last cultists, I had fought. I have to be extremely careful against her.

She didn't attack immediately, nor did I. We just kept watching each other, when suddenly, at seven and half seconds later, we moved.

The dark blue lightning moved around her, making her incredibly fast.

I was right. If I had fought against her before the increment, I would have been thinking of how to survive against her. Even now, it won't be easy, and has to be really careful, lest that sharp epee, pierced through me.

We both might be using the rapiers, but there is a huge difference between them.Thɪs chapter is updated by novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ.nᴇt

Hers is a dueling rapier, while mine is an army rapier, which is much thicker. However, at our current stage, the shape of the weapon and its intended purpose hardly matter.

Our rapiers got closed when a few more bolts of lightning materialized on her rapier, instantly making it faster.

I had prepared for this and increased the speed of my rapier, bringing it in front of it. She tried to maneuver around, but I didn't let her.

She has skills to match her power, unlike those I had fought earlier, but I am better, with far more experience. She will have to be much better than this if she wants to evade my sword.

CLANNNG!

Our weapons clashed and created shockwaves powerful enough, that had turned everything in a hundred meters radius, into the dust.

Nothing survived, not even the rocks or those powerful trees, that an average Sovereigns would have a hard time cutting. Everything disappeared, and we found ourselves in a huge crater, without moving a single inch.

Our swords are locked with our eyes, staring at each other, looking for anything that gives us the edge.

"You are better than the group I had fought a week ago," I said, and her eyes turned sober for a brief moment.

"So, you were the one that killed the group near, vasis lake," she said and I could see anger appearing in her eyes once again and this time, she didn't try to drink it down.

"Yes, with the good help from others," I replied with a grin, making her even angrier.

I am not proud of killing them and didn't like to show it off, but I need to make her angry. It is clear, that someone she knows, and cares about has been in that group.

"I was going to let you be a sacrifice, but now, I have changed my mind. I will torture you till you regret what you have done with every breath you take," she promised with gritted teeth.

"Unfortunately, you will not be able to keep that promise," I replied.

"Watch me!" she said and attacked.

I responded immediately, while cursing in my heart, seeing my seed was getting destroyed. Her defenses are extremely powerful; I couldn't insert my seeds into her.

It was not the first seed I tried to insert inside her, but the second one. Both of them were used with different methods, but not a single one worked.

So, now I am sending a third one against it.

I have got an immense amount of data, watching them, but if I am able to insert the seed inside it. The data, I got will look like a common rubble compared to the goldmine inside.

It won't be easy, and I will have to try for a long time, but I am prepared for it. Till then, I will study the data I have got from the outer layer and use it, to make such a seed, that will breach inside these cultists.

Our swords clashed again and then again and again. She began to use every kind of method, she had in her arsenal while I defended, while using my method, to every bit of her.

In the past week, my clone had improved my abilities. That will help me gather more data from the cultist and I could say, they are working spectacularly.

A minute passed and our battle began even more intensely.

She had begun to attack me without a care in the world. The animalistic emotions begin to affect her, without getting into the beast mode.

It seemed like, she might be more powerful and skillful than the members of the beast god cult, I had fought, but she had poor control over her emotions.

They were able to keep it contained, till they entered the beast mode.

It is one of the biggest problems members of the beast god cult face. The power isn't without its challenges. They were trained to control their emotions, but not everyone is in control in all circumstances.
