Monster Integration

Buzz!

The buzzing sound rang out, and the formation broke away. Immediately, my power covered the Khel's Chime, and it appeared in my core.

"I got it," I said, with a big joyful smile on my face.

My clone had already begun working on it, while others began to solve the two formations. Which are much easier, but would still take a few hours to solve.

If they were normal things, I wouldn't have been willing to spend the time on them, but they were not. They are important, especially that metal plate, which already seemed to be refined.

I can tell what they are, but I would need to feel them with my soul sense, which I couldn't with the formation protecting them.

I looked at them for a moment before returning to my abode and went to my core. I didn't immediately start solving the formation and instead looked at Khel's Chime, which my clone was inspecting.

It had only inspected it for a minute before joining me with others, solving the formations. Once the formations are solved, it will have enough time to check out the artifact.

Three hours passed and then fourth and fifth. It was at the sixth hour; I finished with the formations and got out of the abode.

Buzz!

I released the formation from my hand and a few seconds later, it buzzed. The protection disappeared and a thick plate of metal appeared in my hand.

"It really is," I said with a big smile.

This is a ghasin metal, a very rare type of metal. It could be used in various things as supplementary material, and I already know where I am going to use it.

Buzz!

I admired it for a second before putting it into my core and turning to the block of ore. The runes removed its protection, and I picked it up from its stand.

"It seemed like, I was wrong," I said, but there was a smile on my face.

I am glad I was wrong because it turned out to be something different. Even more precious than I had expected.

I put it away and walked toward the door, before stopping and sending out a stream of forbidden power. Of course, even the stone door is no exception; I need to be cautious, especially in a place.

It is not just for the powerhouses, but also for broken formation, which might come by the door and me opening it might disturb them.

That would be bad.

Hun!

A moment later, a surprise appeared on my face as I saw the stream of forbidden power wasn't enough. The stone door had blocked it.

The forbidden power isn't omniscient. It needs to be strong to deal with the strong things. So, I increased the amount and kept increasing, when I saw even that wasn't enough to pass the defenses of the stone door.

I needed to use twelve times more forbidden energy than I had initially used before it was able to pass through the stone door and I saw what was on the other side.

Click!

A few seconds later, I opened the door and walked into the death zone, where there were thousands of broken formations within a hundred-meter radius of mine.

As I took a step out, soul waves started to release from me, while I looked around, thinking about what to do.

I have gotten far more than I had come here expecting and I should get out, but I felt my legs moving down.

I want to go down and till I can, before getting out, and that's what I did.

An hour passed, and I had reached the limit. Seeing that string begin to come out of me and start to wrap around my body. It is not a simple wrap; every string has a formation. That will help me bear this immense heat more efficiently.

Though, now, with strings wrapping around me. I won't be able to use my strings to bind the enemies.

I have not come across any enemy here since I came here. There were a few monsters, but I had avoided them expertly.

With the protection of strings, I moved forward. collecting anything I have come across, but it is mostly the fire crystals. Their quality is getting better and better with every step I take.

It is of the Sky Sovereign.

Normal Sky Sovereign grade elemental crystals don't interest me much, seeing I could easily get them, but these are not normal. These crystals had many different energies and an extremely faint amount of law power.

It is so faint that only Prime could sense it and I wouldn't have believed it, if not information saying it.

Hun!

Suddenly, I stopped as I sensed something and sent a few more soul waves. For a few seconds, I thought of returning, but seeing the distance, I decided to move forward.

Time passed as I moved deeper and deeper into the areas that could only be walked by the Sky Sovereigns.

Anything below would turn to ashes.

Half an hour passed, and I was reaching the limit, when suddenly my soul waves discovered something.

I decided to check it out and soon, I reached the place which was blocked by the stones. I thought for a few minutes before gently removing those stones.

I didn't do it extremely carefully, and soon the way opened, and I walked inside.

'This area isn't explored much,' I thought as I stopped in front of a block of elemental crystal bigger than me. Till now, I was able to get one that is slightly bigger than my hand, but this one is huge.

It is clear, that I am the only one who came here, since this ruin opened this time, or I wouldn't have gotten it.

It took me a few seconds, but I had a big crystal in my hand and moved ahead.

In the next fifteen minutes, I had gotten two more, along with a few things, before I reached the place, that my soul waves had sensed and I have to say, seeing the things, I am a little surprised.

'It seemed like a storage ring had ruptured here and materials inside caused explosions throughout the years,' I thought as I looked at the things.

There are many valuable things; they have changed beyond recognition, and some become useless. Still, there are many useful things I could see, and some have changed in this place.

However, my eyes are on one thing; a wooden carton, which is broken in many places and burned.

Even the things inside had broken, but not all.

It is a carton of wines, and if my soul sense is right, then seven of the twelve bottles that had been in the carton are still sealed.

That doesn't mean they would be fine. This isn't the environment suitable for wines, not to mention they had been here for thousands of years.

It is also surprising; they had survived for a long while, almost everything was destroyed. That wooden box is anything normal and the wine that is stored inside it also wouldn't be.

I walked toward it and gently pushed things around it away, before taking the carton and putting it in my core to let my clone see, whether the wine was any good.

Hun!

As I did that and moved to the other stuff when I suddenly stopped and turned.
