Monster Integration (Web Novel)
chapter-3470

'It is unexpected,' I thought in shock, looking at the stele, nearly a kilometer away from where they were fighting.

The stele immediately made me curious.

It is black in color and thrice my heart and seemed to be made of extremely tough material.

Seeing a rift behind its back, which isn't even able to make a single scratch on it.

However, it is not what made me curious. The thing that made me curious, are symbols on it.

I asked my clones to interpret what they could about it. It will be hard, but there is no harm in trying.

I focused back on the battle and watched it for a few seconds before walking away. Though, I didn't move my soul sense from them and won't be till the battle is over.

I am very curious about the stele and I don't think I could push away this curiosity.

With the tablet in my hand, I begin to check the surrounding rifts where the compass leads me. I got disappointment after disappointment, but I kept checking, one after another.

There is no other choice, but to do it and with so many rifts. I will eventually find what I need.

A little more than half an hour passed when seven of them were able to kill the first monster, before targeting the rest of the three.

It didn't take them long to kill another one in a few minutes, and the last two monsters only fought them for a few seconds before running away.

I lightened my soul sense around them and mixed more forbidden power as I watched them recover, before moving toward the stele.

They reacted to it, avoiding a couple of rifts, including a huge one, directly opposite the stele.

The six of them waited while the seventh one. The women appeared in front of the stele and covered him and the stele with powerful energy.

After seeing nobody, is looking, she begins to touch the runes rapidly.

The isolation cover she had summoned was quite good. It will ward off the soul's sense and any ocular method, but it couldn't ward off my soul's sense.

I could clearly see everything she was doing.

She stopped, and the stele lit up. All the runes and symbols disappeared, and the stele transformed into the door.

She removed the isolation cover and entered the room after speaking a few words. The others followed, with excitement burning in their eyes, and all the seven of them entered inside the stele.

I stared at the stele for a few seconds. Struggling, before finally walking toward it.

A few minutes later, I reached the stele, and once again struggled.

The struggle lasted only for a few seconds before walking toward the stele. Avoiding the giant rift, in which tens of sceneries flashing at every second.

I didn't even bring out the crystal to scan it.

This rift is connected to several places, and many of them flash every second. It is not the first rift of this kind I have come across, but the biggest one.

The stele might have been came out from one of the things; this rift is showing.

It is a dangerous rift. If they try to step in it; there is a high chance, they will find several pieces of them appearing in different places.

It might even collapse the moment one steps into it. Nothing could be said about the rifts like this.

I appeared in front of Stele; closer than I would have liked to be, but the rift is right behind me and I have to be careful.

I looked at it for a moment, before I started to tap on the runes.

I wouldn't have let my curiosity get the best of me. If I hadn't heard their conversation. One of which said that person could only stay inside for a day, before coming out.

So, I decided to try it.

It had been only a week since I had left the compound and I could give myself a day to satiate my curiosity since I had been suppressing it for the week.

Buzz!

I finished with runes and a moment later. They buzzed and soon; the gate formed in front of me.

I didn't waste any time before entering the gate.

It was all black in front of me for a moment, before everything lit up.

Immediately, I found seven eyes looking at me, and there was enmity in it. If not for the fighting is forbidden, seeing our power is sealed, they would have attacked me.

"Welcome to Archive Ranas. I hope, you will leave with memorable experience." Said the pleasant old voice.

I looked at the place I was. It is an around place with a huge blue crystal in the center.

There are also many stone chairs and benches along with tables, but there are no books in there. It seemed like all the knowledge was present in the center crystal and people could access it through a blue stone slate floating in front of me.

"Who are you, and how did you come here?" asked the woman with blue skin and blue eyes.

"You didn't need to know who I am or how I came here," I said directly, before walking away with a stone slate in my hand.

My answer would have been more polite. If she hadn't been glaring at me angrily.

"You are from Barvas, aren't you? You bastards have hinted you had found the key to this place," she said, glaring at me.

I didn't even look at her and instead stopped in front of the huge crystal and looked at the stone-skinned man inside.

Yes, there is a man inside. It is the old stone man; the oldest stone skin man I had seen. He must have been really old when he died.

He had his eyes closed with a serene expression on his face; as if there is nothing that worried him.

"As expected," I said, looking at him, frozen in the crystal.
