Monster Integration

I am quite shocked seeing that, and the next moment, I took a great risk and fully opened the seal I had placed on my Armor against this Cosmic Energy.

I could have taken it slowly, but I did not want to; I want to see my Inheritance Runes bearing the full brunt of this Cosmic energy. 

As I unsealed the Armor, the brown energy came at me from every corner of my Armor and merge into runes directly without going through any filtration process; the runes had directly taken it.

Something like this had happened only two times when my inheritance went through the strengthening. 

Now it is taking the energy fully, and I could feel my Inheritance Ruin are feeling more hungry for this energy, wanting me to attract it actively, but I did not.

There is still time, and since Armor is unsealed now, it could take the energy every moment of one month I am in. So, after looking at Inheritance Ruins for a few minutes, checking there is no problem, I continued with my journey.

I had just walked for a few minutes when I heard the monster's roar from a distance, and a few minutes after that, I heard another roar before seeing the monster itself.

I had first throught there won't be many monsters seeing how thick the energy is present, but an hour after that, I have completely changed my mind. There are monsters, more than I had imagined, and these monsters are a little different than what I have seen till now.

I did not engage with these monsters despite wanting to fight them; I just steered cleared of them and continued with my journey. 

Suddenly I woke up!

Ashlyn had woken up; when the Ruin was opened, she was sleeping inside me. I wanted to wake her up after entering rune but seeing how deep sleep she was in, I let her be.

'Ashlyn, help me with the scouting.' I said to Ashlyn just as she woke up. 

"Chew Chew" She came out of me with a happy chirp and flew away; I am not worried about Cosmic Energy effecting her. She is strong; I don't how strong she is but one thing is clear that she is stronger than me.

She flew up without any problem; she wasn't even feeling discomfort above where the cosmic energy became thick. Hell, she is enjoying the cosmic energy as she is actively taking it inside her.

I connected my vision with her, and as I saw the Forest through her eyes, I immediately know where I am.

The Crown Forest, this is where I am. This is the biggest Forest of the Castello Ruin, covering 15% of it, and the most notable thing in this Forest is Crown Tree from which it got its name.

The 'Crown Tree' or the Sky tree is the biggest in the Forest. Normal in this Forest, most trees are not longer than fifty meters, but the Crown Tree is above a thousand meters tall, and it is not frizzled and dry as the rest of the trees of the Forest.

This tree is vibrant; it is filled with greenery and has long branches spreading hundreds of meters; even it is a little unclear due to the thick cloud of cosmic energy clouding it; it is still a sight to behold.

The Crown Tree also is the biggest resource of this Ruin as well; a single leaf of it would sell for millions of crystals. Every part of it is a precious resource that very few could get their hands on it.

The Crown Tree had its roots in the biggest Forbidden Zone or space crack of this Ruin. 

It is a place where Cosmic Energy is thickest. Even now, when Ashlyn looked at it, she saw it covered with a layer of Golden Brown Cosmic Energy.

The cosmic energy there is so dense that it could turn a Prince stage powerhouse to dust. In the past four hundred years since this Ruin has been discovered, only nine people have reached the tree and got something from it.

Though the Crown Tree had many resources and including the one Ive comes to Ruin for, I am going there. The Crown Tree is too dangerous for me; I don't think my current Armor can resist such thick energy.

I have to be at Duke stage before thinking of going there, and I am just a lord right now. So, it will be better for me to forget about Crown Tree and focus on other things.

I broke my connection with Ashlyn and opened the map of Castello Ruin. I selected the map of Crown Forest, and a bunch of flags popped out with the biggest flag on the crown tree.

I now have a general idea about my position; it is time to search for things Ive come to this realm. Looking at the flags, I clicked on the closet flag from my position.

"Radiant Grove," I muttered as I read the name on the flag. 

Radiant Grow is the name of the organization; it is now laid in runes. Many people have found good things in it, and it is not entirely explored.

I read the information on other closes flags but chose the 'Radiant Grove' not only it is closer, but it is also very big. 

From what we have discovered so far is that this was the place of an Organisation. As for what level of Organisation this was, it is a little confusing.

Some evidence pointed it toward the Supreme Level, like most organizations in this Ruin. Still, some evidence had also pointed out that this Organisation may be above that of the Supreme Grade.

What evidence we were able to collect so far tells us that this Ruin was part of a mighty world with no scarcity of Tyrants. 

In that world, Tyrants were like Kings Stage powerhouses of our world, where a person with above-average talent could reach a Tyrant stage as long as one put considerable effort.

But no matter how powerful that world was, it likely had been destroyed, and a chunk of it came to our world.
