Monster Integration (Web Novel)

About fifteen minutes after dee dee came out, Rhea's eyes fluttered open before she slowly sat up.

"I survived, and I feel fine, more than fine," she said softly before she turned toward me. "I ȧssume it is your doing," She asked.

"I helped a little bit, and this is the bill of resources that needed to heal you," I said and wasted no time sending her a list of resources to her.

She opened the list with a small grateful smile before her eyes widened up in shock. It took her a while to go through the list, but she did; she was not happy.

"I have heard about excessive prices you healers charge, but this is something else, Micheal," She said angrily, reciting the stereotype we healers detest.

"I did not charge you excessively, I even have video proof attached at the end of the list, but I don't think you will need it when you check your condition," I replied with a smile.

She once again glared at me before looking at her state, and for the next couple of minutes, several expressions appeared on her face. From outright shock to pure numbness, all could be seen on her face.

"The progress had been extremly expensive, but I will pay ten times to get the progress Ive just made, and its all thanks to you, Micheal," She said as she had got her emotions under control.

"Ive just provided resources while everything is done by your bloodline," I replied, to which she shook her head.

"Ive seen the list of resources, and while I may not know much, I know they precious resources of recovery and bloodline evolution," She said before she took out a wooden box from her storage.

"It will take me a while to collect these resources, but I will do it with the strength this advancement had given me, and till I do that, take this thing as down payment," she said and threw the box at me.

I watched the box and opened it; as I did, my runes reacted instantly in hunger. It took me a second to know what this thing is; it is one of the things I was looking for and would be extremly useful in a breakthrough.

"It seemed like you have got some great things," I said as I kept the box in my storage. "Getting that was just luck," She replied with a smile.

"So, do you have any idea where we are?" I asked her; finally, we have wasted enough time with her injuries, it is time for us to continue with our missions.

"It is the same place I have entered last time and would be able to reach where Jim is; if we followed the same path," she said and began walking down the hill, and I followed her behind.

Soon we reached the formation, which is broken into several parts. "Your friend Jim had an amazing artifact which gauges the stability of formation,"

"We had passed through these two broken parts last time and felt a powerful ȧssault that only masters could bear," she said and finally summoned her armor.

Her armor had changed completely; she is now wearing knight-style armor, which is made of delicate diamond scales, and it hugged every part of her body, and only her eyes are visible through it.

The armor did not feel thick as before, and one might consider it too delicate if one looked at it; one would not think so.

Every scale of her armor had been carved with the very tiny translucent patterns which felt primal in nature and seemed to do the job similar to the formation.

"You will be able to handle the pressure, right?" Rhea asked, "As long as it is not something of vidette level, I will be fine," I replied and activated my defensive measures.

She nodded, seeing my defense, but soon a look of hesitation appeared on her face, and she placed a hand on my should. As she did, diamond energy flowed out of her hand and covered my body.

As it did, she removed her hand and took a step inside the gap between the formation before disappearing.

Seeing that, I also did the same. As I did, I felt crushing pressure that only masters could bear. No pressure felt on my defenses as everything was dealt with by the diamond energy covering me.

A second later, I entered into a different field which was muddy with extremly cold lunar energy present in the mud.

The field is also harvested, and the resources that are present are level too low for me to take. Though I had collected a few samples like I did earlier, some people back home would very much like to cultivate these plants.

"I suppose this is your doing?" I asked, motioning toward the harvested plants. "Yes," Rhea affirmed with a single word.

This field only has one side covered with the broken formation, while the other three sides are covered in the complete formation.

Rhea turned left before we had stopped in front of the complete formation wall. "Jim was able to break this formation with a set of some nifty artifacts, but it took him more than a day," she said.

I understood my clue and scanned the formation before giving all my conscious power to my avatar in my core.

I am operating at 70%, so the conscious power I could provide to my avatar is 30% less than before. While it will affect formation breaking skills but not as much as one would think it would.

The formation in front of me is hard, much harder than any formation in the manor that it took me fifty-two minutes before I could break it. After that, I took out the air-pen and began drawing the formation.

Buzz!

Four minutes later, I stunned the formation, and we walked through it and entered the land of fire that had an extreme heat that I finally felt some strain even with diamond energy covering me.
