Monster Integration Chapter 4266 Bandit

Step!

I stepped out of the abode and began my journey with the tools floating in front of me.

The storm was only broken. Finding the forbidden power crystal is still a purpose.

I moved in the direction I had planned to before entering my abode. I have planned the most efficient way to search through the small region.

That will take months. That is why I am choosing only the most optimal route based on the places; I found the forbidden power crystals.

Those places may seem random but with enough data. One could find a pattern.

Currently, I don't have enough to get a plete pattern, but I have enough to start. It might not lead to the result I want, but it is better than randomly moving as most others are doing.

Every bit of relevant information about the forbidden power is guarded.

People are even intentionally spreading lies. Sending the people to a dangerous path.

An hour passed and then another and another, but I didn't find any crystal, but that didn't stop me.

I kept searching, while I may not have found the forbidden crystals. I am finding other good things which are keeping me happy.

Hun!

Over four hours passed, and I didn't find anything when I sensed it from my leaves.

What I had sensed nearly froze me in my place and shook me.

It took great willpower to not produce any reaction or behave as I shouldn't.

I forcefully calmed myself and moved to retrieve the forbidden power crystal. Which had more forbidden power, than all the tiny rocks, I had found out.

'My god!' I gasped internally as I retrieved it.

It has fourteen hundred percent more forbidden power than the first rock, I had found. That is massive; it made me tremendously happy.

It took me a while to be fully calm when I did. I begin to search for it.

To my surprise, I found another one. Just a few minutes later.

It is much smaller than the last one. Still, it has three times more energy than the first one.

An hour passed, and I didn't find anything, but I didn't mind even one bit, given the haul, I got. I kept searching, dreaming about such a haul.

Several hours passed, and I found a few crystals. Nothing to the size of the biggest, but enough to keep me going.

I kept moving, and soon, my soul sense touched another soul sense. It is a familiar one, I have e across tens of such and so kept moving.

Hun!

Though, a few seconds later. My expression turned serious when I saw it being focused on me.

Not long after, I saw him ing in my direction.

It didn't take me long to understand that he was ing for me. I stopped and waited.

Thud!

The man landed in front of me.

Usually, the people stopped at least a hundred meters away, but this man stopped only ten meters ahead of me.

He is a big man, two and a half meters tall with a muscled physique. He had dark orange skin and red hair, with big dark blue eyes which looked almost black.

He is Mid-Prime, and I know he has a law. The law of metal.

I didn't speak to him and just looked at him as he was looking at me without any expression.

I may not have any expression on my face, but I have a lot of questions with one being most important. 'What does he want from me?'

"Prime Arys," he said, finally. "Prime Saxir," I replied.

"How do you survive the storm without shelter close by?" he asked. "The same way, you did Prime Saxir," I replied, with a smile.

"Mind telling me?" he asked. "No," I replied, to which he sighed.

"To tell you the truth. The artifact I had used to survive the storm had been spent in the last storm. I would be really grateful if you could give me the thing you have used to survive it," he said.

'So, he is a bandit,' I confirmed.

"No," I replied. I didn't even make an excuse or say it is spend like he did. Knowing it would be useless.

"Then don't mind me. Getting from you forcefully," he replied and came at me after hesitantly looking at the runes floating around my body.

Burst 100%.

I activated the full burst without hesitation, seeing him bringing out the law of metal.

It feels sharp and heavy. Hard, but tensile.

'A law of steel?' I asked. It may be metal, and he is only projecting the properties of the steel. It is hard to say.

Laws change, as one prehends them. The law of metal could turn into a law of steel. If one moves, the prehension in that direction.

My sword appeared in my hand, and I shot toward him as well.

I could feel the two soul senses focused on us immediately. Both of them are strong enough that I wouldn't want to fight them.

Soon, we appeared next to each other and attacked without any hesitation.

I could feel the power of law strengthening as his bluish metal saber came at me while powerful heat began to radiate from mine as it moved toward it.

CLANNNNG!

Our blades clashed, and I shook from up to down as the power of the law came through my energy and came at me through the sword.

Hitting my armor. Taking it into overdrive instantly while I took a step back with a drop of blood leaving from the corner of my lips.

My strength had just increased, but this man was still able to push me back and make me bleed.

It did not make me happy. Seeing the risks, I took for the increase.

"Now, what do you think about my ask?" he asked, with a big smile.

"You are powerful. I will give you that, but this is far from enough to force it out of me," I replied with a grin.

The smile on his face vanished upon hearing that, and irritation appeared on his face.

"Well, then it seemed like I will have to beat you till you hand me over that thing," he replied and came at me with the power of his flaring powerfully.
