Monster Integration

"Hello clones," I said as I opened my eyes. There are now ten clones in front of me. Seeing that, I couldn't help but smile.

"Hello, Michael," they replied.

It is going to help me tremendously. There are many things I have to do, inheritance, professions, experiments, and others, with a tenth clone, I will be able to do them more efficiently.

"Of you go," I said to the clones.

Immediately, six clones disappeared into the vibrancy. Three will work in the profession of alchemy, artifice, healing, and culinary, while the fourth one will do experiments and other things.

Currently, it is going to do the most important things. The last time, I failed in it, I hope, this time, I will succeed.

Buzz!

"Let's hope, this time we succeed," I said, and my clone had started the breakthrough of the slime. The slime is important for my practice. Without it, the speed of progress in the dance would slow down immensely.

There are only thirty-two spheres inside the slime instead of seventy-three before and the tentacles moved toward them.

A smile appeared on my face when I saw the tentacles reaching all the spheres and absorbing resources from them. There is not a single sphere, from which they hadn't started to take the resources.

Last, it was only 63% of the seventy-three spheres.

I still remember the massive resources it had used last time, and this time; I am even better prepared.

Soon, an hour passed, and the absorption was going on without a problem. The graphs are much smoother than the last time, which once again made me relieved.

I only have two slimes left, and I don't want to kill them. It would make things much harder for me.

I watched for a few more minutes before walking out of my core. I got up from the sofa, I had been sitting in and walked into the practice room.

Last time, it took nearly twelve hours for it to absorb the resources and this time, it is going to take the same time. There won't be any problems and if they come, my clones are more than capable of dealing with them.

I couldn't practice dance without the slime, but there are no restrictions for the talaras constitution; I am going to practice it.

I walked into the center of the room and removed all my clothes before sitting down. I waved my hand, and a massive formation came out and covered the whole practice room.

I waved it again, and seven ring formations appeared, surrounding me from top to bottom, each ring of formation represents one element of my constitution.

From sun to forbidden.

They all are ancient runes and filled with powerful resources. Though, the most notable of all is the royal jelly.

It is the first time I will be using it, and I am really scared. I wanted to use the honey, at the first session for the second level, but went with it despite the risk.

I am near the physical/soul limit. I don't know, how long it will take me to reach it, but it won't be much long. That leaves the forbidden limit, which I reach through the Talaras constitution.

If I use the honey, it will take longer. Compared to it, the royal jelly will take me there sooner, it will also increase the risks, but I am willing to take them for the speed.

Buzz!

I thought for a couple of seconds before starting the method.

"Ehhhhh…"

Within a few seconds, I started to grin my teeth in pain, which I would rarely use to do during the method, but now the pain is too much.

The seven elements of the constitution ravage me, while all I can do is keep my breathing, heartbeat, and soul in a complex rhythm. If I didn't follow, these ravaging energies would tear me apart before I could do anything.

The rhythm is much more complex than before and a lot harder to maintain.

If I could, I would have stopped the method, but now that I started, I couldn't stop. If I did, I would die.

So, I gritted my teeth in pain but didn't let affect my breathing, I kept in synch with my heartbeat and soul.

Seconds felt like minutes, and I decided to focus completely on following the rhythm. I pulled back every bit of focus from the other things. There is no use in focusing on other things. If something were to go wrong, there was no way to fix it.

So, it is better that I focus on the rhythm and nothing else.

I did just that and slowly, the pain and other things began shifting in the background, with me only focusing on the rhythm.

Time passed, and I continued to focus on it, and before I knew it, I completed the session.

Hun!

I wanted to fall down immediately and sleep, but I took a deep breath and opened my eyes and the things I saw around me couldn't help but shock me.

There are impurities around. I have a clean body, but impurities still come, but it is not normal impurities, that have shocked me, but the constitution impurities.

These are the impurities of my constitutions. It wasn't supposed to happen, till level 3 and at the end, but here, I am seeing them at the start of the first session of the second level.

It was quite shocking.

Aside from that, there is also a lot more soul impurity. They are easy to recognize, because of their translucent ness.

Usually, I burned the impurities, but this time, I collected them. There are a few things I want to test and also looked at my meta scan.

So, I closed my eyes, but not before looking at the clock, which told me only fifty-two minutes had passed. It is about the same time; I needed to practice the method before.

I appeared in my core with the plan of looking at my meta-scan, but as I looked at the slime, I appeared beside it and opened the connection with the clones.

"Fuck!" I cursed.

Not in anger and disappointment, but surprise.

The slime had finished absorbing the resources and now it's shining brightly as it digests those resources. last time, it had taken nearly twelve hours for that, but this time, it took less than half.

I looked at the graph and saw the process going smoothly. There was no sign of crystallization, that happened during the process last time.

I watched it for a few minutes, before bringing out my meta-

scan. The digesting process is happening fast, but it would still take a few hours; I could study the meta-scan at that time.

It won't take me more than half an hour. If there is a problem, my clone will alert me immediately.

"So, it is why," I said a couple of minutes later. I understood why, and I was able to bring the constitutions out at the second level.

The first reason is obviously the forbidden power and the stretching of the constitution. The second reason is because of tinkering, I had done to my constitution years ago.

I barely knew anything and tinkered with it.

Thankfully, I had made those changes on the surface, or the consequences would have been bad instead of good.
