Monster Integration (Web Novel)

In this place, there are broken formations everywhere, thousands in numbers. What one could see was nothing compared to a few meters below the feet.

The formations outside would look like a child's play in front of what is below the feet. When I thought of walking through this place; it was the underground, I was most scared of.

Still, I am.

It is a complete shambled, but I had just sensed the place, which is not in shambles. It seemed to be disconnected from the rest of the formations.

It still has the working formation.

As for why, I had not sensed the place before, well because there was a giant freaking formation covering it, and seeing it, I wasn't interested in digging deep into what I couldn't get.

Now, things are different.

I could see a completely different section, which isn't broken at all. It is smaller than one would expect, when compared to massive runes, but enough to excite me.

I remained on my spot, thinking.

Seconds passed and turned into the minutes before my feet began to move. They were not moving toward my destination, but the new spot, I had discovered.

It will be dangerous, and I shouldn't do it, but these thoughts make me do it more. I had noticed a few peculiar things about the place, and I might be able to get a thing, I never thought, I would get.

I always plan to forge it my own, but I would need to be Grade 7 artificer for that. Even with impartment, I am ages away from reaching that grade.

Soon, I reached the spot, and hundreds of strings came out of my hand and the earth in front of me disappeared rapidly.

Forty-seven seconds later, there was a hole big enough that I could pass through it. After sending a couple of soul waves inside, I stepped inside and floated down.

Thud!

I landed on the ground, eleven meters deep.

There is a broken wall in front of me and I squeeze through it, careful not to touch any broken formation floating around.

I stepped into the other side, which is made of thick green stones and there is not a single broken formation. The wall is also made of the same green stone, but something had hit hard enough for a crack to appear.

If I am right, then this place had been sealed in a small spatial object. The boundaries break with time, and it came out in the real world instead of crashing into the spatial sea.

It was what made its strong wall crack. There are still signs of spatial energies in it.

It is not the only thing, that helped me come to that conclusion, but also the spatial gate, which is nearly undamaged.

It is not a normal spatial gate, but the one that used to enter these spatially configured spaces. It is slightly damaged, but still in great condition.

Organizations have posted for such things, and they are offering quite good things for it.

I will remove it, but not now. Though, I did send a wave in it and copied the formation, before turning to the door and walking toward it.

The door is metallic and forged by at least a grade 6 artificer, but the thing is closed. Its defenses have also been turned off; it is the reason why; my soul sense had easily been able to pass through it and see what is inside.

After some hesitation, I placed my hand on the handle. It felt cold and old, with a layer of dust, but aside from that, it was in good shape.

Looking at it, one wouldn't even think about it being thousands of years old.

Click!

I twisted the handle and heard the clean clicking noise before pushing the door open.

I walked inside, and it was completely dark. Which didn't affect me, and I was about to resume walking when suddenly, all the crystals in the hall, lit up one another, making it bright as the day.

I looked around and saw it was perfectly cleaned.

It is clean, not only because it was sealed, but also because it was, the cleaning formation is working properly.

I looked at the hall, which was empty. There is not a single thing in here. Someone had come before and taken it all.

I already knew it, but still, a small disappointment couldn't help, but appear in my heart. I took one last look and walked toward the rooms; there are eight rooms in here and like the door, they are unprotected.

Click!

I appeared in front of the first room and opened its door. It is empty; it has stuff in there, but everything is trash.

I still checked it with my soul sense before walking out and opening the door of the second room.

Which is also empty, with trash lying around.

The cleaning formation cleans the dust, but trash is part of this place, it didn't touch it.

The fourth room was empty, and I went to the fifth one. I know it is empty, too. I knew it from the moment I sensed it, but I just want to double-check in case, they had something.

It didn't.

So, one might ask, why do I come here, when there is nothing in here. For others, there is nothing, but for me, there is something, and my scans showed that I might be able to get it.

It is a very rare, thing. That prime would fight for it.

Click!

I opened the seventh room, and it was too looted. There is not a single valuable thing in here, aside from the trash.

Hun!

I was about to close it when I suddenly stopped and disappeared from my place and appeared near the left-end of the room, before crouching down and picking, a small bronze head of a clay figure.

There are pieces of broken figure everywhere.

It was a small piece and beautifully crafted from what I could see in front of me, but those considered it useless and left it lying.

I made the same mistake. That I have a clone, that noticed what I missed.

"Let's see what you have," I said, and my strings moved toward the head of the figure.

They entered inside it and a few seconds later; they took out the thing.

The thing is so small, that normal people wouldn't be able to see it. It is a speck; a brown-colored speck like a million that made the figure's head, but this speck is special.

I closed my eyes and concentrated my soul sense, before pushing it inside it.

There was resistance, but I pushed it, pouring more forbidden power into it. I didn't care about quality and kept pushing.

A couple of seconds later, I felt a little loosing. Seeing that, I pushed even harder and finally, my soul sense was able to enter inside.

Gasp!

Immediately, the world changed in front of me, and I found myself in a massive sphere made of tiny runes. There are millions of runes in it, creating one single formation.

I had never seen something like it, and it enamored me, that I wanted to study, but I controlled my urge and focused on the second sphere.

I am inside the first sphere, but it is not the only sphere here; there is another. It is the one that enamored me.
