Monster Integration

"Congratulation Participants PY09 For Finishing The Forth Challenge At Ninth Rank," "The Final Challenge Will Begin After Six Days, Fourteen Hours And Twenty Three Minutes." The Mechanical voice as I entered the white hall.

The hall is still stark white as previous without ant exit, and the center of it has a white marble stool on which there is a brown chest made of light.

Seeing the chest, my breath couldn't help but quicker, and hope begins to rise in my heart despite me wanting to keep it minimal. The past two rewards were not that great; I don't want to get disappointed again.

I appeared beside the marble stool and touched the brown chest, and as I did, the chest disappeared, and I found myself staring at the dark red volcanic rock.

Hun!

I was about to curse my luck when I stopped as I felt the resonance from the Bloodline, which had shocked me so much I wasn't able to react for a moment.

It had been quite a while since I felt something resonate with my Inheritance Runes; the Bloodlines used to resonate, but with the restriction of Treasure Palace, it stopped doing that.

Feeling the reaction from Bloodline, I picked up the rock and found it quite hot. Hot enough that it will burn the hand of the knight of right off if they dared to touched this rock.

I do not know the name of the rock as there are too many materials that exist in the world to memorize them all.

Though I may not know the name of the material, through the simple observation, I could tell that it is a deep volcanic rock that had absorbed a huge amount of magical energy from the volcano.

That's not the only thing; there is something special in this rock, whether it is material or energy; otherwise, my runes would not have been able to react to it.

I observed the rock for few minutes before I stored it in my storage and took out my space abode before walking inside it.

With me reaching the absolute limit of the King Stage, from all aspects and upgrade ready. I could level up to Emperor Stage now if I wanted, but I will not. I will spend some time working on my mental state and even give the upgrade one last look before I leveled up.

Four days should be enough for that.

As I entered my abode, I directly went to the shower before walking into the kitchen. The last battle had lasted for a second, but it had very intense; even after getting a high energy dose, I am feeling very hungry.

In the kitchen, I took out some stuff from my storage and began to cook with my two and vines.

Usually, I only use my hands when I cook, but when I cook little elaborate as this, I used my vines. They make things easier and faster, also good to practice the fine control, I need for the cooking.

An hour later, I finished with the dinner and ate alone; I wish Ashlyn could come out and she could come breaking the restrictions, but it will turn on quite a few alarms of the treasured palace.

So, I kept her inside me.

Though I could not bring her out, I could talk to her, and that makes things a little less lonely here.

After eating dinner, I went to the bedroom and slept for nearly ten hours; when I woke up, I feel refreshed, ready to face the day, which is going to be exciting seeing how many things I have to do.

Time passed by, and soon before I know it, three days had passed. Now, I am sitting in the small arena of my space abode, wearing nothing but underpants and my real face.

Around me is a huge runic formation; the formation is big enough that it had covered the whole arena. On the formation, a huge amount of stuff had been placed, from essences of rare and precious herbs to the rare core of monsters.

The center stage is occupied two things, one small piece of wood and the other is first size volcanic rock; these two things are things that my Bloodline had reacted to, and I sure they would give me a quite surprise.

These two things are quite mysterious; I was not able to find much about them, especially that piece of wood, other than it is a very good alchemical agent.

Buzz!

After checking everything one more, I went inside my Inheritance and touched on the huge Runic Humonoid to initiate the level up; as I did, I got thrown out immediately; as I came back, I activated the formation.

As I initiated the level up, huge piles of elemental mana crystals started to become smoke.

The herbal essences too moved into the air and came toward me that within a second, I was densely enveloped in the smoke that those from outside could not see me in smoke at all.

The smoke begins to enter inside me rapidly from all sides, giving me the feeling that I am some kind of powerful suction machine which is sucking everything around it, including the air.

All the energy that is coming inside me is getting sucked by my represented runes which are getting crushed into shining diamond dust at a rapid rate, and new runes are forming in their place.

The process looked very beautiful, and it is going to take time.

The upgrade of this time has made of four hundred thousand runes which are four times greater than the hundred thousand runes I had needed for the King Stage upgrade.

In this upgrade of Emperor Stage, I had made big changes; it could be said that I had made the greatest changes since I created the Inheritance in this upgrade.

It is a complete overhaul; I even changed the structure of my armor and removed and shifted some moves from their original sets. Ive even expanded some moves with the ideas I had long visioned before, and now some of these ideas have actualized; they could do shocking things.
