Monster Integration

Step!

I stepped out of the third section and eleven more have remained.

It had been two and a half days since I came here, and I have been constantly searching for them without sleeping and eating.

I need to find the source of the poison and I need to do it quickly, because creating the antidote would create time and I don't know whether this poison would give me time, with the speed it is growing inside me.

My clones are trying everything to find the cure for the poison and they have made progress, but it is slow.

I do not doubt that they will find the cure, but it will be after I die.

I walked for a few minutes before I stopped and quickly took out the pearl. I activated and entered the room.

I didn't waste any time in my abode and quickly walked into the shower. I stayed there for over fifteen minutes before coming out, feeling good.

The shower made me feel a lot calmer.

I enjoyed the feeling of a moment before walking out of my room into the kitchen. I took out the dinner my clone had made and ate it while thinking about things.

This time, my thoughts were not filled with regrets about choosing this particular route. I had chosen it because I had considered it the fastest and safest. If I knew someone was capturing the people to venture into the poisonous garden, I wouldn't have stepped into it.

However, I have to say, I am big unlucky.

They had chosen me, among the thousands who were using the teleportation gate. It made me feel a little bad.

I pushed those thoughts and focused on the dinner.

I finished dinner and washed the dishes, before walking into my room and laying on the bed. I didn't sleep, despite feeling sleepy, and went to my core.

"The poison is really something," I said as I looked at its huge structure. Which is more complex than any formation I had solved.

It is why, it is so difficult to create an antidote. It would make the job, much easier if I had the source. It will be like a key; it will solve most of the problems.

I stayed and worked with my clone for an hour, before going back to the real world.

Four hours later, I woke up, feeling good. I didn't immediately get up and stayed on the bed thinking before deciding to take a risk.

I quickly freshened up and ate before walking into the practice room.

According to tests, my clones had done. The dance might help me against the poison.

It will suppress the poison, slow it down. However my clone isn't fully sure, and some problems could occur and if they appeared to dance, there would be only one result.

The death.

I don't want to take the risk, but I want to slow the poison down.

I have three weeks at most according to my clones, and I would need more time to deal with it, if I didn't find the source and somehow survived the Sky Sovereign, waiting outside.

I took a deep breath and took out the things; a minute later, I started.

"I didn't die," I said breathlessly as I finished, before immediately closing my eyes to enter my clone. I didn't even sit down.

"It really worked," I said as I looked at the result. They are in front of me. The dance seemed to have slowed down the poison by 54% and it will slow it even further if I continue practicing.

Seeing that, the hope of survival couldn't help but lit up in my heart.

This gave me some breathing space, and it is good, but I rather destroy the problem, than delay it. Finding the source of it is still the best solution to deal with this problem.

With that, though, I entered the shower and washed all the filth away, before changing into the new set of clothes.

I want to practice the second method too, but it would kill me. I cannot practice it until I have the poison out of my body.

With no more time to waste, I walked out of the abode.

Eleven minutes later, I was at the entrance of the fourth section. It is so small that even humans can barely walk inside it.

It is not something for those with big bodies. It is why, only seven or six people had entered this place.

As I entered inside, I found there was a big place in front of me. It is quite large, but not safe; there are many broken formations, including a few that are floating around like leaves.

I walked around them, not getting too close to them despite them being very slow.

These may be slow, but reacted, they could turn very fast. Worse, they could explode, and they have enough power in them to take even Sky Sovereign at death's door; there is no way, I would be able to survive that.

I passed through them within seconds, before choosing the path.

There was not much to choose from; there were only two paths in front of me and I chose the left one, seeing there on each path three people had entered.

My speed was fast but cautious, and in just a short time, I was able to cross a large distance. I would have been slow if this place hadn't been picked clean and there were fewer than usual plants in complicated places.

If not for me wanting to scour every section to find the solution; I would have gone out of this place by now.

Hun!

A few hours passed, and I was moving when suddenly, I stopped with a surprise appearing on my face.

"Are they idiot?" I asked myself, but found my feet moving again. I am walking toward the idiots who are fighting in such a dangerous place.

Even the greatest idiots wouldn't do such a thing unless there is something that forced them to do it.
