Monster Integration

I woke up exactly four hours later, after falling asleep.

Yesterday was tiring but fruitful. I have got a lot of things, some had forced me to chance, a few things, I am planning to do.

I don't mind. Those things are going to get better and that is what matters the most. Till late at night, I was sorting things, not only the ones I had got from Ven but also from the storages of the Grimms.

There are a massive number of things. They have filled floor after floor of the repository.

I got out of bed and freshened up, before walking into the kitchen and cooking myself breakfast.

After I washed the dishes, I walked into the practice room and removed all my clothes, before standing in the center of it.

It is time to practice the first level of the dance of ukasanavor. There are more steps and a lot more dangerous. The worldly energy will be a level above the last and it would be able to kill me more easily if things were to go wrong.

The method is more dangerous now, but the benefits coming from it would be just as great.

I took a deep break and waved my hand.

A formation came out; it was far more complex than the last time and it stuck with me, covering every part of me, including my hair.

"Begin!" I looked at the formation before I gave the order.

The next second, I felt like thousands of ants bit me on nearly every part of my body. The pain is lighter than last time; the needles are finer and a lot stronger. They could pierce through my body a lot more easily.

My clone had looked at the slime, all yesterday. Checked every little thing and did hundreds of tests, including many on the dummy body.

Many new appeared in my core. I have been able to find out things. If I had known them before, I would have been able to make the slime more stronger than it is.

It had turned out; that the slime was highly manipulative at the last stage. I really wish, I really wish, I had known of them before.

I shook my head at those thoughts and focused. The next step is going to be painful.

A second later, the solution kept pouring inside me through the thousands of microscopic needles. It felt like a hot lava. I wanted to grit my teeth to bear it, but I didn't let myself do that.

I will be receiving this solution while practicing the dance and I need to keep my force as breathing as it required and gritting my teeth wouldn't let me do that.

It stopped a few seconds later, and I took a deep breath before I started with the dance of ukasanavor.

On the first level, there are one hundred and twenty-four poses. It may seem like, only sixteen is more than level 0, but it is far more than it looked. Every pose at the first level is complex and far more demanding than before.

One needs a high level of physical control, that less than 5% of the Sky Sovereigns have.

Every pose is complex, but my body did it perfectly and the speed of doing it is also fast. It is not as fast as I did in the formation; I am not that suicidal, but it is faster than I had practiced.

I finished with the first pose and then the second and then third.

I practiced one pose after another and finally finished the twenty-fourth. When I started on the twenty-fifth, I felt things moving.

Things become clearer in the next few poses before energy begins to materialize around me. Seeing it, I couldn't help, but become surprised.

It is the same energy, that came in tiny amounts, but filled my till it had nearly ruptured in the last session. Now, it is gathering in a much larger amount, and it has scared me, but I didn't stop despite that.

The solution was last time, barely able to contain it, but this time; it won't be the case.

I was a little worried that the solution would be too strong for the energy, especially seeing yesterday's result. The royal jelly is too powerful and too good for what it does.

It is the thing, I haven't sold. I had sold them Sky Sovereign honey, but not Earth Sovereign royal jelly.

It's not like, I didn't want to, but the thing was dangerous, and I want to know about it all before I sell it to others.

Hun!

Soon, I finished the forty-eighth pose and started on the forty-

ninth, when finally, the gathered energy around me, before entering the runes covering me and seeping inside my body.

It is more painful than I remember, and I wanted to grit my teeth and scream, but I bore it.

The energy began to fill the solution and I was relieved that there was no rejection, not even the slightest. I knew, there wouldn't be, but I still had some fear in my heart. Now it disappeared, replaced by even greater fear.

I could see how the solution was turning after mixing with energy and I fear my life. All it would need is a small mistake and it will be my end.

I need to make sure, I won't make a mistake, not even the slightest one.

More and more energy kept coming and filled the solution. Soon, it nearly filled all the solutions, and my clone began to inject more into me.

The energy kept mixing inside it until I reached the hundredth pose.

At the hundredth and one, the merging begins, and it is painful. More than any stage of the method. I wanted to scream, grit my teeth at least, but I didn't let myself have even that and only practiced the method.

The only mercy I gave to myself was going faster with poses. Which made things even more painful.

It is better because it will end quickly.

I performed pose after pose, finally reaching the last one hundred and twenty-fourth, when the formation seemed inside and covered the energy, that merged with me, completely the first session of the first level of dance.

I am dead tired, that I wanted to fall down, but. I slowly sat down.

I wanted to enter my core, but I didn't dare to close my eyes. I know, I am tired enough, that I would fall asleep the moment, I closed my eyes.

So, instead, I started to take deep controlled breaths, till the tiredness receded enough that I could control the sleep it brought before closing my eyes.

I entered my core and the first thing I saw was my meta-scan.

"God! With it, I won't need much time to reach the limit," I said, happily. The increase is good, better than good. It made all the risks; I took worth it.

I studied the meta-scan for a few minutes before I walked out.

I have practiced the dance and now, I need to practice talaras, which is as painful as the dance but need to be done with more zeal than before. I am close to the physical limit, but I have just started with the forbidden.

I need to reach the limit as soon as possible. So, I could make a damn breakthrough; I even have a timeline in my mind.
