Monster Integration

Hun!

I stopped and resisted the urge to look at the lamp and a step forward while maintaining the expressions on my face as normal as possible.

The first thing I checked was the soul senses of the Governor and vice-governor. There was no change in it, but I didn't make any odd moves and continued moving as I was doing.

An hour passed and then another, before I reached the manor. I went to my administrative office and talked to people, as I usually do, before walking to the top floor.

It is a private space, that even the governor is forbidden to scan unless they notice something wrong.

Though I would see them scanning me sneakily several times a day. Which is natural. If I had been in their place, I would have done more than that.

I didn't behave abnormally and after freshening up; I closed my eyes and entered my core.

I was three and a half hours later, when a string of soul sense, containing a wisp of forbidden energy, broke off from the rest of soul sense covering the borough and moved toward the lamp.

It began to scan it and there was nothing strange, in enchantment or the light crystal, until one took a soul sense to the center of the light crystal.

In there is the tiny dot, smaller than the needlepoint and invisible to the soul's senses. Even the soul sense of Prime wouldn't be able to find it. The only reason I did was because I had come across this and watched it too closely.

I looked at the thing with my soul sense but didn't dare to touch it. I don't want to trigger it. Instead, I removed the soul string and moved it to another pole, and to my surprise, it also had a tiny invisible crystal inside it.

I checked one pole after another and found the crystal in each one.

The more I look, the more I shudder. I know, the aura of well to understand, the kind of things that were going on here and it couldn't help, but make me shudder.

Last time, I had been able to survive thanks to the help of a hidden being. This time, I might not be able to.

I calmed myself and continued checking pole after pole while writing the report to the Prime Volsnorth. This is a huge thing that even he might not expect.

I really wished that things were only fishy and not dangerous, as this was where not even souls would be spared.

I had read a lot about those things after suffering at the hands of those terrifying beings and knew the kind of horror the soul would go through once they got it.

I wouldn't expect that, even on my worst enemies.

I crossed the hundred polls and there were thousands more in the city and seeing each light crystal on the lamp pole have it. Their designs aren't small, they want the whole city.

I am sure I would find those things on the lamps in the other boroughs, too.

The last time I came across the faithful of those monsters; they had selected the most talented people for the blood sacrifice in that bloody temple. This time, they want the whole city, which is not surprising.

Every one of those monsters is different and has different preferences.

Some prefer the most talented ones; some prefer people with a special constitution. Though most prefer, a large number of people and they are using, those invisible crystals for the ritual.

Here we are not getting branded, but I have no doubt the light released from it, had branded us in some way.

The reason I had not discovered the branding was because the difference in the level was too huge. Still, I activated the formations inside me and asked all my clones to look for the brand.

'Do you know about the brand?' I asked, and there was silence.

I smiled mirthlessly at that and continued checking the lamps, while every part of me wanted to run away, but that would be dangerous.

I need to find out as much about it as possible. Collect enough data that when Prime Volsnorth reads it, he will take action immediately.

Minutes passed, while my clones scanned through me, using every method and the formation they had. I have never, permitted them to use the forbidden energy, inside my body.

I didn't care right; I wanted to find the brand and then remove it.

I had read what they could do with the brand and while I have a hidden being; I didn't want to be dependent on them.

Who knows, they decided to not save me; nothing could be said.

While it will be hard for me to remove the brand with my power; I will care about that later. First, I need to find it; only after doing that, I can find a way to remove it.

It is not like, I can't take help; I am sure, even if normal prime couldn't remove it. Silver and Golden Prime might and we have in the organization.

Soon, I scanned through half of the poles and moved toward others.

I wanted to use more soul strings, but I didn't. I need to be careful if I get discovered, bad things will happen.

Hun!

I had just thought that when suddenly, a crystal I was scanning lit up brightly.

'Fuck!'

I cursed, and my face turned pale. The very next second, I sensed the presence and opened my eyes. Only to see the governor, standing beside me.

"I truly hadn't expected the thing that couldn't be found out by the Prime would be found by you," he said, looking at me without any expressions.

"It is not my first time coming across such a thing," I replied.

Surprised, how smooth my voice came out in, what could be the last minute of my life.
