Monster Integration

The breakthrough formation expanded, and I went inside before waving my hand and taking out resources.

95% of resources were in essence form, processed by me, while others' resources do not need to turn into the essence.

As I sat down, I initiated the breakthrough, not before cloaking the bracelet with the simulation. Everything will turn off during the breakthrough. I need to have the surrounding simulation before I start.

Buzz!

The formation started, and immediately; the bottles dissolved, sending the resources into the runes.

It saves a few minutes and looks very cool.

….

"What did you find, any hidden surprises?" asked Sor. "No hidden surprises, but he is stronger than he looks," replied Reta.

"We had already guessed that. Seeing how he lasted more than any of our Primary practitioners," said Sor as he looked at the four Primary-III practitioners, two of who of which will make a breakthrough now.

The two will not. They had a special plan for them. It is the whole main reason for them coming here. If they are able to achieve it, then in a few centuries. It will be their family who will control Klahan.

"What do you all think that is?" asked Harlan. "I don't know, some kind of breakthrough formation," replied Reta, to which Ura laughed.

"What kind of idiot he is. That is Sorana plate, one of the best breakthrough tools of this place and he is using some kind of dumb formation on top of that," said Ura.

Nobody said anything to that and just looked. A few minutes passed and a surprise couldn't help, in the eyes of Reta and others, seeing how fast everything is happening.

"Everything is blocked, right?" asked Sor. The Sorana plate blocked everything, they could not even sense the faint energy from it. Especially when the plate is taking the energy from notes, rather than from the environment.

….

My core had stopped, spinning as the resources were absorbed. Taking nearly 92% of the resources I had prepared.

I am getting good at estimating the resources I need. The accuracy this time was better than the last.

Buzz!

For a minute, everything was silent. Before my core had started to spin again and as it did, it begin to take the energy from the node.

It is pure and dense that even after a minute, only a small stream is coming inside. Energy does not need to be of huge quality. If it is pure and mellowed, one could absorb it and it is usually better.

….

"The breakthrough is happening quite fast," said Sor. "He will fail." Said Ura. Reta did not say anything, she just watched.

Those who are intelligent are watching, without saying a word. If one looked at their eyes, one would find them glowing in thoughts. Even to them, what is happening is exciting.

Time passed and another two hours passed by when the formation stopped taking the energy.

….

My core consolidated, becoming even more world-like. Some even consider it a world, if they did not know what is.

A moment later, the runes came out like tides and begin to spread across my body. In less than a minute, they have spread into every part of my body, before they buzzed, and the core released the energy.

The energy came from the runes, and it was powerful despite being thinner than water.

Every moment, my strength is increasing, and by the time I absorbed every drop of it. I felt power like never before, and like the last time, this strength did not come with the feeling of invincibility.

With this, I reached the High Level of Primary-II stage.

I looked at my advancement before an activated couple of formations with my energy control and contained my aura, before changing its flavor and power.

I turn to the pearl artifact in my hand and checked the simulation, which was still working. I matched my attribute with it, making it completely flawless, before smoothly removing the simulation without alerting the artifact.

Only then I opened my eyes and walked out of the sphere, before taking it inside me.

"You have succeeded?" asked Ura, despite sensing my aura of Peak Primary-III. "Yes," I replied and cast a glance at Reta, who had a shock in her eyes.

If I had been in her place, I would have too had felt those same emotions. The data the bracelet sent is quite shocking for her.

"What is the runic sphere that you had used?" she asked when Ura was about to say something. "It is my breakthrough formation," I replied, a little defensively.

"A soul artifact, right?" she asked, and I smiled in my heart while showing fear and hesitation on my face.

"Yes," I answered unwillingly, after a moment of silence.

"Now that he is done. It's time I made a breakthrough into the Sovereign stage," Ura said and walked toward the plate with a big ecstatic smile on his face.

"Wait," said Reta suddenly and Ura turned, with anger on his face, that he was not even trying to hide.

"What?" he asked snipingly. "Use the breakthrough formation he had used," she said, shocking him.

"I am not going to use that. If he does something, my breakthrough will fail. I might even die," he said. "He will not do something," she said and looked at me, with a threat apparent in her eyes.

"As for you, you can do without it, but the breakthrough formation he has will increase your chances by at least 15%," informed Reta and he stopped his open mouth, whatever he was about to say.

"You are kidding, right?" he asked. "No. It is the only reason he even succeeded in making a breakthrough," she said, looking at me.

She is not even trying to hide, that the artifact is an invasive type.

"Fine," he said and turned to me. "If you dared to mess with my breakthrough. I will give you the most painful death," he warned.

"Michael, give him your soul artifact," said Reta and I put an unwilling expression on my face, as I took it out, before throwing it toward the plate.

Where it became big.

Ura reached the black plate before stepping inside the formation. He looked around me with apprehension before taking out the resources, which moved toward their places on their own.

The formation is smart. It had learned from many breakthroughs of legacy inheritances. So, it wouldn't have any problem with the breakthrough of a host of Sovereign-class inheritances.

I turned to resources, and they are in huge numbers, more than ten times than I had used.

It is not surprising; he is breaking into a Sovereign stage. Where he will gain power at a completely different level. It is a breakthrough, different from any kind. As with a breakthrough, his soul and body will start merging.

This is why Sovereign stages are known as One stage or Consolidation stages.

Buzz!

The runes buzzed, and the breakthrough started, and I started to have a really hard time controlling myself.

While I may have to reveal the breakthrough formation, to change from killing to controlling, I also wanted to see how the breakthrough is done with my own eyes, despite reading about it in hundreds of books.

Now, I am seeing it.
