Monster Integration (Web Novel)

The weapons stopped as I gave up the battle and disappeared from my view one after another, especially the lance that had to pierce my thigh bone.

I started to heal my thigh and hand as I waited to hear the voice; this time, I did not stress as I know the singsong voice likes to take its time.

"Congratulation, you have passed the second challenge, lasting thirty-one minutes and twelve seconds, a record for the person of your level," said the semi-corporal girl that had appeared in front of me, surprising me greatly.

She appeared to be a fifteen years old girl with light green color skin and pointed ears; she is extremely beautiful with otherworldly qualities in beauty.

I quickly got over my surprise, and questions appeared in my mind; those who had come before, all of them have done one or two challenges and the ai or the spirit, whatever this is in front of me, had never appeared in front of them, they have just heard the voices.

Now, this spirit/AI had appeared in front of me; this challenge is getting stranger by the second, and now some weird expressions have appeared on the spirit's face as she looked at me.

"You have won the two challenges and thus deserve a reward, but the thing is, there are no rewards left," The spirit said with an apologetic tone.

"What! There are no rewards? Then why did I attempt the challenge?" I asked back, feeling quite angry. I am sure she would have not stopped those weapons on time if I had not given up on the fight.

"While the rewards that master had left had been spent, I could still create something for you, according to the score you have got in the challenges," she said, and over thousands of storages of all shapes and sizes appeared around her.

"Since you are so weak, I think a solution would be a great reward for you; it will help you a little bit and increase your potential," She said while looked at floating storages around her.

"I do not need solutions. I would be grateful if you could give me divine crystal or resource that could be used in its place," I said as I looked at those storages.

More than half of the storage is very high grade with immense space in them, even old monsters would look at storages with envy, so there is a chance that divine crystal is present there or something of a similar level, I will take it anything at this level.

"It is I who decided what reward you should get, and I say, a strengthening solution would be the best choice for you," She said while giving me a look.

I opened my mouth to curse at her closed it, this bitch seemed quite temperamental, and if I cursed at her, she might throw me out without giving a reward or do something else. It is better if I do things with a calm mind.

"My lady, I am at the absolute limit; no strengthening solution would work one me unless I am willing to make a breakthrough, I will not benefit from the strengthening solution, and I have no intentions to make a breakthrough right now," I said in a respectful tone as I could muster.

"Humph, your knowledge seemed to be lacking, but that is to be expected seeing what grade of the world you are from," She said with a snort.

"While you have reached the limit, it is not absolute; it could be still be expanded but of course, not through the normal methods," She said before she started to take out the things from the storage around her.

I thought she would take very precious resources out of the storage, but to my great surprise, normal Tyrant grade resources. She took out eighty-two things from the storages before the thousands of storage had disappeared, and of the eighty-two things she had taken out, the rarest this plant-fire monster's elemental core.

There is one thing is strange, or I should say common between all the eighty-two resources is that all of them are desired by my vines at various degree, with plant-fire type monster core, bringing out the most intense reaction of them all.

She did not take out any artifact or device; instead, she summoned a formation that was vast and complicated. With a spot for each material, she started to remove the essence of plants while started to process the minerals and other things.

It only took few minutes for the essence of all plants to come across and minerals being processed before she started mixing them, the five places.

I watched what she was doing and got completely mesmerized by it; her skill is beyond what any alchemist is capable of. She is doing that all with the help of formation, without using even a single bit of the energy, and everything felt like a work of art.

She involves the runes into everything; it is not simply taking the essences and mixing them. No, she is merging the formation with every essence and processed minerals, and these formations would bond when they would mix with each other.

I have read about such an alchemy style but never expected I would be able to see one. Mastering such a method of alchemy is extremely difficult; even if one has hundreds of years, one needs proper guidance.

What she might be doing may seem simple, but it is not; it is extremely hard; she is controlling thousands of formations every second at precise control. The slightest mistake and whole process would be doomed, in what she is doing, everything has to be perfectly on time, even a difference of even fraction of seconds would spoil everything.

Two and hours passed by before she finally stopped and looked at me. "The solution is ready; remove your clothes and get in; it is only good for an hour before it will start losing its efficacy rapidly," she said, again surprising now.
