Monster Integration

I got up from the table in the library and walked toward the huge shelf filled with books. I browse through a couple of them before taking out two and sitting back in my chair.

I am studying, while three of my clones work on the inheritance. It had been seven years since I had to begin, and my work was far from being over. I don't like to admit it, but I have not even finished 50% of it.

Others are making tremendous progress. It won't be long before they make the breakthrough and leave soon after.

I am not in a hurry to leave, but I would like to finish my inheritance, but even with the three clones, it is going to take time, a lot of time.

I studied for more than three hours before joining my clones in working on the inheritance. It is exciting, but sometimes, it could turn quite frustrating, especially with those sky-high standards. I had set up for my inheritance.

Four more hours passed when I opened my eyes; I got off the couch and went to the kitchen and cook dinner.

I was making it when Marina walked inside, appearing beside me and giving me a kiss. It was a long kiss. She was out for two days, and I missed her a lot.

"How's Elina?" I asked. "She is great, happy," Marina replied. She had gone to her daughter, who spent half the time with her boyfriend at Blazing Sphere.

Marina went back to our room and returned fifteen minutes later, looking fresh. That I wanted to take her immediately, but I had controlled myself and focused on the dinner. I am making.

Soon, I finished and made the table, before we started to eat.

"I can't control it anymore," I said the moment we finished cleaning the dishes and pushed her against the kitchen cabinet before taking her lips.

A minute later, the moans begin to ring out from the kitchen counter. After that, we did it on the couch and patio, under the night sky. It was a well past mind-night before we finished and went back to our rooms.

The next morning we woke up early as we had to leave for the ruin.

"Ready?" I asked as I took her hand and a moment later, we stepped into a huge teleportation gate.

Thud!

We entered the tunnel, and a few seconds later, we were in the ruin, which had dense spatial and temporal energies that only a very few Grand Lords could bear; Marina is one of them.

This is a Greystone ruin. one of the most dangerous ruins in the world; half of it is barren, while the other half of it is green, with powerful monsters, but we are not here for them.

"Let's go," she said, and we begin to move toward our destination, dodging the spatial rifts and mini-temporal storms which form instantly and could kill even me, if I get caught in them for long.

We moved and a little more than one hour later, we reached the greener area, where she covered us with her stealth method.

Her stealth method is one of the best in the world; the best when it comes s traveling through the greenery, she could mast presence so well that even a monster a hundred meters away couldn't sense us.

Another hour passed, and we finally reached our destination, where the spatial and temporal energies were stable.

She placed her hand on the common rock and a moment later, a formation revealed itself and we walked inside. The moment we did, the entrance disappeared with the formation.

We walked through the tunnel, which was covered under the formation, and soon we reached the cavern. Which is even more heavily protected under the formation, that any place here.

The formation was created by me and used to store precious goods.

The wine I have been crafting for years; I have been storing it in this specially created place. I had spent a fortune to create it, but it is worth it, considering I have stored over a hundred thousand bottles here, of more than a hundred kinds of wines, I have brewed.

"I have only one bottle of Venar left; Ellie said she wanted a few more bottles of…" she stated the requirement of her daughter and sister, to which I couldn't help but rolled my eyes.

To that, she glared at me.

"You know the professor came here four days ago and raided over three hundred bottles," I said.

"No, she did not," Marina refuted, and I tapped on the control formation and soon footage of the professor appeared.

She came smiling and giddily took one bottle after another, without a hint of remorse on her face.

It is not the first time she raided this place; I many times wanted to ban her from this place, but that wouldn't be wise, seeing how protective Marina is of her little sister.

"Well, she provided a lot of resources to you to craft these wines," said Marina with bright cheeks and went to the room where the Venar wine is stored.

I activated all my defenses, entered behind, and instantly dense energy hit.

I had chosen this place, not only because of the stable time acceleration of thirty-one times but also because there is a source of very pure energy underneath this cavern.

For magical wines to become more powerful, times aren't enough; they also need tremendous energy, and this place is to provide that to them.

The energy in this room is dense and extremely poisonous, that this wine releases, which is nectar to the marina.

"Yes," she moaned as she deactivated her armor and this poisonous energy rushed into her, making her scales glitter like gems.

Within a minute, she absorbed all the poisonous energy, leaving only pure behind, before she started picking up the bottles of wine, which I had made for her and only she could drink it.

Grandmaster Salvador nearly died crafting this wine. It was a good thing. I had my strings inside him in the process and I dealt with poison, which was not easy considering it was Primary-II wine.

That incident ended up helping the old man. As he finally made his mind, and a week later, he leveled up into the Grand Lord class.

Marina took fifty bottles before we walked out; they will last her for a few months. She drinks this wine, not for hobby or pleasure, but for practice. The poison is necessary for her to advance. It benefits both of her bloodlines.

After taking the bottles, I stock the twenty-five thousand bottles of wine I have crafted in the past two weeks, making the number over two hundred thousand.

My target is a million, and I will brew them, as my level in alchemy increases.

"Ready to leave?" I asked after taking a bottle for myself and my family and a few friends. She is not the only one who has the people.

"Yes," she said, and we got out of the place. I will return in the month, to stock more bottles and take a few.

Soon, we returned to the academy, where less than an hour had passed.
