Monster Integration (Web Novel)

'They are good; I have been looking around, but found nothing. I think we should start digging deeper,' said Magli telepathically.

'I agree. We won't find anything until we dig deeper,' Taev agreed.

'Who said we didn't find anything?' I asked and their expressions changed faintly, but the surprise wasn't enough to stop their conversation.

These people are experienced and good at controlling their thoughts and expressions.

'What did you find out?" asked Magli, a moment later. 'Till now, nothing, but I am confident that I will soon,' I replied.

I could see the sparks of frustration appearing in their eyes.

'I think, we should try digging deeper,' said Magli. 'No,' I replied firmly.

I am the leader of the mission, and they have to follow my orders. They could only disobeywhen they felt something really wrong with it.

'Fine, but if you didn't find out anything in a few days, I hope, you will let us dig deeper," he said.

I would have let them do that, but these people are extremely careful, and there are spying formations everywhere.

It had been five days since we had chere and since then, I haven't found anything, that will implicate healers or any staff to be cultists.

I am sending my soul waves across the town, and they haven't found anything either.

These people behave exemplarily. Except for their high charges, I haven't found a single problem with them.

Even slow healings aren't their fault. Seeing the sheer number of patients they have to see every day.

Magli stayed in the room for a couple of minutes more before walking out, while Taev laid comfortably on the couch.

They are acting like concerned friends.

There is always one person beside me. They would talk to me, even if I didn't respond, and alert the healer immediately. If any artifacts attached toreacted.

It had been only two hours since I had gone to the healing session

So, it will be another ten hours before another session. I went to my core and handed things to the clone.

It will keep sending soul waves and monitor the seeds. It is quite good at those things, while I focus on the inheritance.

I didn't immediately, went to the library. I looked at the barrel I had stored underground.

I had expected the changes, but what I was seeing still surprised me.

It had been ten days since I crafted it. Fifty days, since I stored it inside the underground. For the first few weeks, everything was normal before things began to change.

It begins to absorb more energy, than it should have.

In this tframe, it should have been absorbing a certain amount of energy, but it is absorbing four times more than that.

I had expected change, but I didn't think. It would be more than, at least not quadruple.

The thing is, it is still increasing every day.

It is not just absorbing the energies in the crystals around the battle, but also from the environment, which it shouldn't.

Though the amount is much smaller.

I feared the wine might get spoiled due to it, but it is not. It is getting richer, in flavor and energy.

If it continues to happen. It will beca really good wine.

Still, I have to keep a close eye on it. Things might be good now, but it might not be forever. If I felt something going wrong, that might harm the wine, I would stop it.

The ingredients I used to craft the wine cost a fortune. I wouldn't let it all go to waste.

I took a look at the beehives before entering the library, where I had focused on my inheritance.

It had been seven months since I had started working on it. Five and a half since I got a suppressive zone and began participating myself, more actively.

I am making good progress, but I still wish I could go faster.

These ancient rune formations are so damn hard. If it had been the inheritance of the common runes, I would have finished it already.

At every breakthrough, the formations becmore complex and harder.

It is frustrating sometimes to work on them.

Still, I do. I liked them and also because it is due to them. I could use my strength to my full potential.

If it had been an inheritance of common runes, I would have been able to project less than half of the power I could right now.

I worked till I sensed Korud coming into my room and bringing my focus out of the core.

"Healer Korud," greeted Taev.

The man acted unaffected, but I had seen him casting glances at Taev.

He nodded at her politely before turning to me. "How are you, Mr. Noah?" he asked, as he always does, and always, I remained quiet.

However, I twitched a little to show my progress, which lit a smile across Taev's face.

"Let's go for your healing session,"

His energy raisedfrom the bed and opened the door, before takingout.

Taev stood by the line as she always does, while Korud tookinto the pool.

He dippedinside and began cleansing the curse. I also started to absorb a massive amount of energy intoand circulate through my body and soul.

It had givengreat benefits, but I could see, the effects of it were lessening.

If I keep using energy as such for a week more. I would stop seeing the benefits.

Hun!

It is why I have to find something or dig deeper.

Which will be a little risky, but I will have to take the risk, seeing we don't have all the tin the world.

Hun!

I was thinking that when a gentle whisper of energy turned into a heavy hammer and struck hard.

'Finally!' I shouted in my mind.

He acted.

The bastard had been too perfect. Forget his healer's conduct, even his personal life was perfect. Nobody is that perfect.
