Monster Integration

Chapter 4026: Hard To Control

'I think this is enough,' I said to myself and stopped.

A second later, the changes began to happen to me, and a few minutes later. I am a thin tall man, with blue skin and grey hair with falchion as the weapon.

With that, I flew into the afternoon sky.

It had been over three days since, I left the castle area and I think, I had far enough that nobody would suspect me.

I have been far too cautious. I would have been fine, if I did it yesterday, but decided to be cautious.

I do not regret it. A day is nothing compared to the trouble of being found out.

As I reached the sky, I flew toward my destination straight. My speed is the fastest I had used in the real; I don't care now if somebody found me.

I am far enough, that people can't come in groups.

They could have a near castle where their numbers were dense.

They are not here, giving me quiet freedom.

It is the first time, since I began my journey three days ago, that I am not sensing any Sky Sovereign around me. My soul waves have spread far and wide but didn't pick a single Sky Sovereign.

I don't like it when people aren't around me, but now, after three days, people are at me in every nook and cranny, I am liking this silence.

I even slowed down my speed a little to enjoy it.

Around an hour and a half passed, when I finally sensed a person. They are far away, but familiar.

They were inside the castle with me. If I am right, their rank was sixty-six. She had chosen a method; a defensive method of soul.

It was on my list. If I had more points, I would have brought it.

Soon, she disappeared from my soul wave and for the next twenty-eight minutes, there was no one, till the two appeared in my soul sense.

They seemed to be fighting. I didn't much care; I didn't even look in their direction.

Hours passed, and soon it was evening, but I kept flying, not stopping till ten and a half. Now that got out of the castle area, I could stop at my usual time.

I flew on the nights because I didn't see the crowd, but here there is no crowd.

Soon the morning came, and I resumed my journey.

Four days had passed, and I had crossed an enormous distance, but I was far from the exit and my destination.

This realm is massive.

Even if I flew at my full speed. I would months to cross one end of it to the other. Thud!

I landed, in front of me is a forest. It's not a big forest; quite small actually, but it had dense energies. In its boundaries, energies are denser than it is at night.

In the night, they become even denser and stronger, and even the strongest Sky Sovereign will have a hard time bearing it.

Due to it; very few people come here. This means there are a lot of rare resources in this place.

I entered inside and immediately felt the energy and it got dense with every step, I took. The further, I got, the denser the energy would become.

While I took a step after step hundreds of strings around me harvested resources.

There are a lot of them, in greater density than I had expected.

I gathered those as I moved slowly, using the stealth method at full power. The energy isn't the only dangerous thing here; there are also the monsters.

I could sense many of them and all of them were more powerful than any monster, I had sensed in here.

I do not have the intention of fighting the monsters. I want to collect the resources and leave.

I didn't plan to give this place more than a day.

It is not the only place. I have to visit. There are many more, each with different kinds of resources.

I have enough resources with me, but it would be a waste.

If I didn't collect more while I was in the realm. I may not need most of those things, but I could sell them to the organization for the things I need.

A few minutes passed when I stopped, as I sensed the monster in my direction.

A few seconds later, the monster was just a few meters away. Tried to smell it, but it didn't

find anything after over a minute of trying, walked away.

I heaved a sigh of relief and continued collecting the resources.

Hours passed, and I came across many such monsters, but I was able to hide from each of them.

Currently, it is night, and energy is dangerously dense. Most of the monsters have disappeared, leaving only the dangerous ones.

I stayed away from them. Even when I sensed they had the resources I needed near them.

I do not have any intention of provoking any monster.

There are too many of them in this small area. Even sealing the battlefield might not work; it is the main reason; I am hesitant to fight, despite wanting to.

If it had been a big forest with each monster lording over a large area.

I would love nothing more than to fight against them, but here, I rather not. If any monster discovers me; I will hide in my abode than fight it.

Soon it was midnight, and the energy became so dense. That is the only reason I am even alive

in armor.

I have created a three-layer of string armor. This is wise because the energy was able to breach through the first layer of defense. It had happened after a long time.

It is extremely dangerous, but the resources I am getting are very rare.

These resources could only be harvested at night after the purity of energy reached a certain

dense.

Many of those resources are used to me and I didn't hesitate to harvest them. Even going a little closer to monster territories, which I said earlier, that I will not do.

Greed sometimes is really hard to control.
