Monster Integration (Web Novel)-Chapter 3039: Elina

"Only through death rebirth will occur," I said as I looked at the bubbling lake of blood red.

I am planning on dying as only through it will I achieve rebirth.

If mother knew what I was going to do, she would stop me without question; even Michael, who is known to take a huge risk, wouldn't dare to do something like it.

I am planning on killing myself to achieve a breakthrough, a dangerous process that will kill me permanently from the face of the earth if I make even the faintest mistake.

Mother would have told me to use a simple way, but the simple way would not give me the strength I want; it would not make my bloodline reach the purity I need.

For the blessing of death phoenix, I will have to die and make a rebirth through it.

I did not think about it further; the bloodline armor disappeared from my body, and my clothes turned to ashes, and I moved my feet to step into this pool.

This ruin was dangerous for me, but it was also very beneficial; I had achieved something I did not have complete confidence in achieving.

I have now reached the stage where I could make a breakthrough into the Grandmaster class, and it would be successful, but as I had said, it will not provide me with the peak power I could achieve in the Tyrant stage.

This is the only way to achieve that.

If the circumstances were different, she would have chosen the safer route without a doubt, but there is no option for that right now.

The enemy we are facing is too powerful, and if I want to kill it, then I will have to harness all the power that my bloodline can provide me.

Only with this power would I be able to fight against the Primary-II and kill it.

Dip!

My feel dipped into the pool, and I felt its corrosive energies burning me; the pain was so great that it had instantly made me grit my teeth in pain, but despite that, I did not stop and dipped my other foot into the pool.

The pain increased further, but I did not stop and kept taking one step after another into the pool while reciting the hymn of the death phoenix in my mind.

It is the only thing I have to do while dying; no matter how much the pain increases, I do not have to stop reciting it.

One step after another, I entered the pool till the corrosive blood-red liquid reached my neck, and even then, I did not step and continued moving till my whole body drowned in it.

The pain was immense, something I had never felt in my life, but I did not scream or even open my mouth.

The only thing I did was continue reciting the hymn faster and faster; it was the only way I was dealing with this soul-tearing pain.

The pool contains very powerful corrosive energies; it is formed from the blood of some monster that bled here and, after thousands of years, has turned into this.

The energies are extremely powerful, and my healing power is no match for it; it is tearing through it, my skin, my bone, and even though my soul, leaving nothing behind.

Seeing that, I wanted to leave the pool immediately; I could right now, and while it would take me a long while, I would heal. Even if I did not work on my own, Michael would heal me; I have confidence in his abilities.

I crushed those thoughts and focused on reciting the hymn.

I had made my decision, and I would not back down; when I stepped into the pool, I was ready to die, and not staying thoughts will stop me.

A minute passed, and I was not just a second away from dying; my skin had mostly disappeared, my bones had corroded so much that holes had formed in them, and my soul had been damaged so much that even Michael wouldn't be to heal me from it.

The only part of me, which still holding on to its basic shape is my heart; it is still beating wildly, but the corrosive energies are building on it.

I could feel my bloodline being drained, and my heart had been hollowed by fighting this corrosive pool; it won't be long before my heart and core surrendered it.

A few seconds passed when the corrosive energies began to flood my heart and, through it, my core.

My heartbeat is slowing down every second, and all the resistance of my core disappears while my thoughts begin to slow down as death begins to take me in its embrace.

The reciting of the hymn became hard that I wanted to stop and embrace death for what it is.

The death is tantalizing, telling me to accept its embrace as there will be no more worry and pain, but I resisted and continued reciting the hymn, even when I could not.

Finally, the last word of the hymn came out, and I found myself being embraced by death; there is no resisting, no escaping it; it will come no matter how much one runs away from it.

Hun!

Death is void, there are no thoughts, no emotion, just endless silence, and I floated in it for a time that is unaccountable when suddenly, I saw the wings; it lighted, brightening the endless void in an instant.

Cryyyyyyy…

I heard the cry, it was not loud, but it had awoken me from death, and I found myself back in the pool; the scenes I saw shocked me to my core.

I saw an immense amount of corrosive energies rushing into me; this time, it was not corroding me but feeding my bloodline core, which was getting stronger at that impossible speed.

I found myself completely healed with skin so vibrant that I had never seen on anyone, even on Ellen, who seemed to incarnate of everything holy.

'I have succeeded,' I said to myself, seeing the rushing energy and source above.

The gamble was huge, but I succeeded, and now, I am gaining the power that will help me fight the big Grimm, and with little luck, this power will help me kill it.
