Monster Integration (Web Novel)-Chapter 3015: Shame

I was planning to study for a week before exploring the ruin further, but it has already been twelve days, and I am still studying.

I am making huge progress, and I have decided that until I have hit a roadblock or found something truly interesting, I will not move away from the library.

In these past twelve days, I have explored the library, which is huge, so much that even if all the books in the world pile up, they would still not equal the fraction of the collection held on the first floor alone.

I am having a great time studying, as every kind of knowledge is at my fingertips. For the first time, I could find every type of knowledge I needed.

It is challenging as it is amazing.

As knowledge may be available to me, understanding it is a great task in itself. Even with all the knowledge, I would sometimes be stuck on the problem for hours.

It is frustrating but a part of the process.

I want to finish my study soon as possible, so I can focus on building my inheritance, which I hadn't started.

I do not have adequate knowledge to do that.

Just yesterday, I looked at one of the blueprints of primary-II inheritance, and 90% of it of it went over my head, which is great progress, as when I got those blueprints the first time, I was barely able to understand 1% of it.

I want to finish gaining knowledge and studying these blueprints in six months, one and a half years inside the library.

It might seem like a huge time, but it is not; still, I will need to accomplish it, even if I have to study every waking minute.

Chew Chew

A few more hours passed when suddenly a chirp rang out in my mind, and scenery appeared in front of me.

It was not the first time Ashlyn had sent me something interesting, and I was about to look and go back to studying when suddenly I stopped when I truly looked at the thing she was showing.

It froze me for a second before I gently put the book down on the table and got up.

'It seemed like it was time to take a break from studying,' I said to myself as I walked out of the library before opening my eyes in my bedroom.

Till now, Ashlyn and Nero have shown me many interesting things they have found, but those things were not interesting enough to force me to stop studying; this thing is.

Soon, I got out of the abode and put it back to my core; there was no need to keep it here. If I found another great spot, I would stay there instead of spending the precious time I have on a return trip.

I reached up and activated the formation, and it moved the boulder enough that I could walk out of it.

The boulder is quite heavy that even with all my strength, I could not move it. So, I placed the formation, which smartly moved the boulder for me without making any noise.

With the boulder placed back, I moved toward Ashlyn with Nero guiding me.

One of them is always nearby when others are away to deal with any danger that comes at me.

I couldn't help but feel lucky to have such powerful monsters as my partners; without them, I wouldn't have been this powerful.

Hell, I wouldn't even have been alive.

Ashlyn is quite far away, and it will take me at least two hours, even three, to reach her. If Nero weren't guiding me, it would have taken even more, as he was not just guiding me but also killing any monsters that came in the way.

Juts now, he had killed the monsters, and it took around thirty seconds for him to do that, while I wouldn't have accomplished that in such time, even after burning my blood.

An hour passed by, and Nero had killed the four monsters in that time, two of which were quite powerful.

We are moving quite fast, already crossing more than half of the distance; if everything went well, then we would be able to reach our destination within an hour.

Hun!

I had just thought that when another monster sensed my presence and came toward me, but Nero moved to fight it.

'Fuck!'

I cursed in my mind; this monster was powerful, one of the most powerful that Ashlyn and Nero had faced in the past twelve and half days.

It might take some time to defeat it and might even attract some trouble.

Hun!

I was right, it did, and it was about the same level Nero was fighting, against which I am no match.

Even to fight it, I would need to burn my blood, and I was about to press that trigger when Ashlyn swooped in and cut a huge bloody line across the Rhino monster's body.

Seeing that, I couldn't help but feel relieved, and at the same time, shame filled my heart.

In the world, I am one of the strongest people, but here, I am one of the weakest; where my life is in danger every second, I am out of my hidey-hole, and wouldn't survive without help from my monsters.

Nero killed the monster he was fighting before moving to kill another, which was about to attack me.

This one was weaker, I could have handled it, but I am grateful that Nero did; it had saved a lot of time.

Forty seconds later, Ashlyn too finished with her monster, and we resumed our journey as I stored the monsters in my storage.

The next twenty minutes went without problem; the monsters attacked, but Nero and Ashlyn killed them within a second, till another powerful monsters sensed me, and Ashly and Nero attacked it.

I am getting extremely frustrated by how easily monsters sense my presence; it is the sole reason why we are getting attacked by so many times.

It is not like I did not work on it the past twelve days, I did, but it seemed like there was the effect at all.

It had shocked me, as for the first time since I created the inheritance, my changes did not make any change.

It is a disappointment, but I am collecting data, like seeping my seeds into the monsters who are sensing me.

It is quite hard, as monsters might be dumb, but their defenses are quite high; more than half of my seeds were destroyed the moment they entered inside the monsters; thankfully, those inside a little weaker survived.

They are providing the data, but it is raw; I will need to study it all to understand it, and it might take time.

So, till then, I would need to collect even more data, as a large collection of it already helps.

I had already made it my priority, and clone is already begun studying it.

If I want to survive in this ruin, then I will need to be invisible, as Ashlyn and Nero will be with me to defend me every time; we might get overwhelmed, and they might not help me before it is time.

So, upgrading my stealth method is paramount.
