Monster Integration



'I should have gone slow.' I thought as I felt the very life is getting sucked out of me.

That is what is happening.

I am harvesting my true essence; I have spent all the true essence I had collected in three and a half months. Now, I have nothing for treatments and to give it to my captors.

I can manufacture it and cloak it with forbidden power; it is a huge risk. Something I couldn't take. Once found out, all hopes of escaping will disappear forever.

So, I am harvesting it and doing it rather fast; the process that is supposed to take around nine days, I am trying to achieve in one and a half days.

No matter how painful it is, I have to bear it.

I can't spend nine days letting it harvest my true essence. I have other treatments to do, which are going amazingly fast.

There result is something I have not expected, but ecstatic getting it.

If I am lucky, I won't be captive here for more than a year. This is great news, as I had thought. I would need to be here for years before I could even try to escape.

It had been nearly six months since I had been here, and I wanted to escape in the next six.

It will be challenging, but I am confident it could happen.

Seconds passed painfully; each one felt like an hour, and I had hours more before I could stop. 

Only a day had passed; half a day more had remained.

I wanted to go to my core and even went there, but the pain didn't stop even there and since there dilution, it is even hard to bear it.

If it had been a normal pain, I would have blocked it, but it is not. It is coming from deep in my soul and body; it couldn't be blocked through any formation or sedative.

Finally, one and a half days passed, and I had harvested the true essence I had needed.

I wanted to rest, but there was no time. 

Since I had harvested the true essence, my body is exceptionally ravenous. Taking a treatment at this time would be exceptionally useful.

So, I mixed some of the true essence; I had harvested into the alchemical concoction I had created and waited a few minutes for it before one with it while rearranging the tentacles and formation on it.

By the time the concoction was ready, other changes had already been finished. 

Buzz!

I activated the formation without wasting any time.

A few minutes later, I started to feel intense pain, but it was not as strong as the one I had been feeling for one and a half days.

I was able to bear it without gritting my teeth.

For one hour and twenty-two minutes, the treatment lasted before it had finally ended.

A single session wouldn't be enough to recover my true essence, but I should be able to recover it in three to four sessions. Which is three days.

I looked at the meta-scan for a few seconds before coming out and sleeping.

I wanted to sleep the moment I finished extracting my true essence, but recovery treatment was necessary, but now that is done. I could finally let myself into an embrace of sleep.

Today seemed to be one of lucky days. I fell asleep immediately and didn't have any dreams or nightmare.

I woke up five hours later, and I felt good.

Though, I didn't enjoy the feeling of more than a few seconds and went to my core.

The first thing I did was to look at the meta-scan, and it showed what I had predicted.

There is a steady recovery of my true-essence. It shouldn't take me more than three days to recover true-essence. I had lost in the extractions.

After seeing there were no uncertain factors, I walked into the library, with Nero jumping on my shoulder.

With nothing to do, Nero spent time with me whenever I entered the core. He even joined me in studies and lessons and, to my surprise, seemed to know quite a lot of things.

Things I didn't expect him to know.

He had been alone in the core for more than a year, with me his only companion.

There is no other option. He couldn't go out; the place those bastards have kept me captive is ancient with strong, even Nero couldn't, seeped through it with his current strength.

There is only one way to leave this place, and it is guarded by powerful sensory artifacts and soul sense; they would discover him the moment he got out.

I don't think they will be able to do anything to him, but even the discovery would be more than enough.

Those bastards might alert their higher ups and things could become complicated.

These cultists are cautious, the slightest problem and they might shift us somewhere else, where it won't be a ruin and Sky Sovereign guards.

I could forget escaping from a place like this.

I shook my head and focused on a task ahead of me. It is a very difficult one that has frustrated me.

I have been failing constantly; everything I use is not enough. I have prepared two more options, which I am going to try today, and I really hope they would work.

"Let's begin," I said to my clones and waved my hand immediately; a vast formation appeared in front of me.

Technically, they are formations, twenty-four of them; each one is massive.

This is the formation I have created for the moon. I had taken a hint from the prime of the sermon palace and divided the formation into twenty-four parts. 

So, the moon would be able to bear its power, more efficiently.

There is one problem; they can't reach their full power, or rather, I must say, the links connecting them to each other, couldn't bear the massive power.

All twenty-four formations would be produced together.

I have designed fifteen links, all of them failed and I am going to use two more today. I hope they will work.

I waved my hand, and twenty-four links appeared. Each link is made of powerful formations containing over a million runes.

The links went toward the formations and connected themselves to the twenty-four formations.

Buzz!

I activated all the twenty-four formations, and they lit up with links, working without a problem. 

From the first link, it was never a problem to have suitability with formation; the real problem is the ability to bear the load.

I increased the power of formations from 1% to 10% and there was no change. So, I increased by 20%, taking it, to 30%, then 40%, and finally 50%.

Hun!

There was no problem with the runic links. So, I increased it to 60%, and immediately; the links shook heavily and started to turn red.

Seeing that, my expression couldn't help, but turn bad. Still wanted to test the limit, I increased the power to 65%

Crack Crack…BANG!

Immediately, the cracks began to appear before all the chains exploded at the same time.

"Fuck!" I cursed, seeing another failure.
