Monster Integration (Web Novel)-Chapter 3197 The Corrupted I

Twenty-two minutes after my arrival, I felt flew up and could see the people a few miles around me.

More people are running on the ground; it is much safer despite more monsters on the ground. Though there are no monsters this clone to the city, they will come a few hours later.

Hun!

In just a few minutes, one of the city-guard flew up from the ground. He is easy to recognize due to his uniform.

He said nothing, just looked at us. Still, I kept an eye on him warily and only took a sigh of relief after he disappeared from my view.

We have paid all the bribes needed to be paid. The guards will not touch us, which is great. I do not want to deal with guards as it always ends badly.

This might be a weak guard, that we can finish in seconds, but if we do something or he called backup. The powerful ones will appear, and I don't think anyone here is a match against the Sovereign.

An hour passed and then another and soon, it was five hours since I begin the journey.

The monsters have begun to appear, and I have flown down to the ground. While no monster had attacked me yet and I could deal with any Primary-III monsters, I did not want to reveal my power.

Not to mention, being in the air makes you the biggest target of the Sovereign monster.

Thud!

As I landed on the ground, I increased my speed a little, but not too much. I have to stay within a range of groups.

The monsters stayed away from our path; there was a monster, just two hundred meters away from me, but it did not attack. They have got used to people and are aware, they shouldn't mess with us.

Every day, there are thousands of people come and go between Celub and Haln on this unofficial route.

The information I have brought is detailed. There is information about everything, from safe routes to resource grounds to mining spots, among many other things.

I have read it carefully and noted down all information I might need.

The travel between the two cities may be long, but it is generally safe. Most people reach the other end without no incident. Those who suffer an incident did not get harmed by it; rarely does any person killed during the travel.

It happens while most of the time, its people kill people. There are some instances where it happens because of the monster's attack.

I need to be prepared for both instances.

Soon it was evening, and we continued; it is already decided where we will stop and till we reach it, we will continue.

We stopped at a little past ten at clearing; I thought for a while and decided to place my abode at the edge. We had placed our above in a huge circle, each abode is at least a mile away from the other.

Mine is two and a half miles away from the others.

While most people wanted in the center; I do not. The edge is much better for me. It gives me freedom and keeps me out of the range of all people.

Compared to most of them, the range of my soul sense is much higher. So, I could always see what is happening around them, but they did not.

With the abode set up, I went inside.

Days passed, and besides I know it, five days had passed. It is night, and I am moving through the dark forest. There is no slightest light, with no moon and stars being visible.

It did not much matter to the people like us, as we could see through the dark without any problem.

One and a half an hour later, we stopped as reached our destination and begin to set up an abode. I like always, picked up a spot at the edge, away from the others.

After freshening up and eating, I sat in the center of my formation.

Unlike what I used to do in the city, I did not enter my core and work there. Instead, I spread my soul sense and watched everything happening around me.

I cannot let go of my guard, at least when I am in treatment.

One and a half hours passed, and the treatment was coming to an end. I am still looking outside where everything is normal, like it had been in the past four nights.

Hun!

A minute passed, and I was about to focus my soul sense on a different direction when suddenly, I sensed a presence entering my range. They were very fast, but in just a couple of seconds, their speed slowed down, and they crashed.

I focused my soul sense on them, and immediately, my eyes widened in shock. I had expected anything, but not this.

I turned off the formation immediately, but I still needed to wait for three seconds before I could get up.

A moment three seconds over, I got up, and a moment later, I appeared outside my abode, moving fast as I could.

It is less than ten seconds later; I appeared in front of the beastman. The right word would be the corrupted, a hybrid of native and Grimm, which should be killed at sight.

It is the same as posters projected in the sky of Celub City. The city had placed a huge bounty on it.

Unconsciously, a sword appeared in my hand, and I wanted to kill it, but I resisted the urge and looked at it carefully.

It looked like Fox Beastman, a young Fox Beastman, who is rather taller. Taller than me, with silvery white fur.

It is not Fox Beastman, but a hybrid of native and Grimm; I don't know what species its native mother belongs to, but its father is Foxman. If one looked at his face, one would see it more beastly than a Fox Beastman has.

Any beastman or those familiar with beastmen would easily recognize it being corrupted.

It is bloodied from head to toe, and very injured. I could even say it was at death's door and if he did not receive the treatment soon, it will die.

I wanted to kill it, but my sword wouldn't move from its place.

Hun!

I should just leave it here, but my body wouldn't move either. I was struggling with the indecision, when I felt multiple presences moving toward me at a very fast speed, with their soul sense approaching fast.

I have to do something if I did not want to kill it. The moment they sensed it; it will die.

In my panic, I tried to move it inside my core, and, to my surprise; it had gone inside.

"Fuck!"

I cursed seeing that and wanted to bring it out immediately, instead, I wiped the signs of it. Its blood on the disappeared and so is its aura.

I am quite good at wiping the signs away, developed several methods to do it.

A second passed, and I felt the first soul sense touching me.

Immediately, my entire persona changed. From confident, I became alert, while my soul sense moved around as If I am searching for something.
