Monster Integration

"Cascading Mist!"

Bloodied Grimm Monster shouted, and next moment, in the steely black veins, mist-like energy started to flow, and with it, its strength increased immensely.

It had been more than an hour since we were fighting, and in this hour, I had made this Grimm Monster completely bloodied. Except for the part that is covered in the steely black veins, everything had turned bloody.

In the past ten minutes, I've come close to killing it and especially the attack I did on it a few seconds ago where I left the gaping wound, this had probably scared the Grimm Monster so much that it had used its Mystic Method immediately.

If I had wanted to, I would have been able to kill this Grimm Monster hour ago with my Mystic Skill; it is powerful enough that it can kill any Grimm Monster with just one hit, but I did not.

This Grimm Monster is quite powerful, and I wanted to kill it using my ability. The Mystic Method is powerful, but one could learn from it, it is like a wish that will instantly materialize, and one will not have to work hard for it.

But using the fighting style is different; the more one fights, the more one gets better at it, and I really need to fight as much as I can, so I could quickly get a grasp over my Greatsword and improve my comprehension of it.

As it activated its Mystic Method, the white mist started to flow through the steely veins of the Grimm monsters before they covered it's sword fully.

CLANG CLANG CLANG…

Puh Puh Puh…

It attacked me with the Mystic Skill, and I only have one word for it, fearsome. Aside from Rachel's Mystical Method, which is Grade above, this is the most powerful mystical method Ive ever experienced.

It had provided it with such physical power that every attack felt like the weight of the mountain crashing over me. It is so powerful that it had passed through my defense of Swirling Armor with only ¼ loss in power, and as it entered me, it wrecked my body apart.

That white had blade-like properties, as it entered me, I could literally feel it is cutting apart my organs, at every attack, I would be in the danger of flinging away and while puking mouthful of blood.

It was good that I am using Greatsword, which helps me mitigate the power of the attacks, if I had been using my red sword, I would have flung in the air multiple times.

"Hehe, how do you like my Mystic Ability? I did not want to use it on a puny human like you, but you forced it."

"Now, not only will you suffer the consequences of it but your breathing too, after I finished dealing with you, I will torture them till their minds break." Dark Vein Hyenman as it attacked me maniacally.

Step Step Step Puh Puh…

I continued taking steps back with every attack; it was attacking me so fast that I did not have the time to stabilize myself before the next attack of it came. With such a forceful attack, my body is in shambles internally, and I am puking blood every second.

I so wanted to use my Mystic Method and finished this Grimm Monster in a minute, but I did not; I continue to experience the torture of the Grimm Monsters. To learn something, I will have to bear some hardship, and the pain this monster is giving me is not much as I've experienced far worse.

"You are quite a turtle to hide behind the Big Sword, you are a man then face my attacks head-on!" said the Grimm Monster some time after. First, it was quite hopeful about killing me, but after some time, it had noticed that no matter how much power its attack is, I was always able to defend against them.

This has started to frustrate and worry the Grimm monsters as it can't continue using the mystic skill forever, there is a fixed time for that before it has to give it rest a little before it can use the Mystic Skill again.

Like the Occult Method, there is no infinite energy Mystic Method, which one can use as much as one likes. If one used the Mystic Method sparingly, if one wanted to use the long term, the speed of using it had to be equal to its speed of charging and top that one also needs to care for one's body as Mystic Skills drain on quite a lot.

This is why when people use the Mystic Skill, they take the break in between as if they did not; then they will have to pay the price they could not afford.

"Die Die Die…."

Time passed, and its unsuccessful attempts to kill me started to frustrate it as the more time passed, the closer it was to reach its limit and will have to wait for quite a while before it could use its Mystic Skill again.

To be honest, I am quite proud of myself to be kept standing under the attack of Grimm Monsters Mystic Method. This method is very powerful; if I had my old body now, then the first attack would be more than enough to turn into the fire paste of meat.

If I want to compare it's the power to them, it is equal to the Mystic Method I am practicing. It is power comparable to the 1st level of it; it is the 1st level that uses normal Grey Energy, not the Dark Grey Energy, which is concentrated by a refinement engine.

If I did not have the Concentrated Grey Energy, which gave my Level 1 power equal to Level 2, I would have lost Rachel in the first exchange of methods. The Methods that Rachel's inheritance had provided her are top of the Grade, which became more powerful with each method, normal methods could not compare to it.

Clang Clang Clang...

Each attack of the Grimm Monster is a struggle for me to keep standing under the force that wants to fling me away, under such barrage, all I could stay stable and defend as my time will come when it will come soon.

"You are quite resilient, no? Let's see how long you will last under the full power of my method?" it said and attacked. The mist on the blade had to thicken considerably so that I felt like air was vibrating around the fog.

I know the attack is very powerful, and I should use my Mystical Method to crush it, but I did not, I wanted to experience its power on my own, I dug out every bit of strength I had in my body and also started to spin the swirls on my Swirling Armor faster and faster for more power.

CLANG!

Finally, its sword crashed against the mind, and I felt like I had been crushed by the force of the mountain and knew there was no way I could contend against such immense force.

Puh Bang Bang Bang…

I flanged back by the mountainlike force, crushing the trees and puking shit load of blood on the way.
