Monster Integration (Web Novel)
chapter-3800

She started from the palm and went up, covering every inch of skin with the runes. It is a beautiful formation with a nasty effect.

There are two formations in there. I could already guess one and anger couldn't help, but blaze in my heart. I didn't do anything and just watched as runes covered the chest, before moving to the other hand.

After that, it was her head, stomach, and legs, before she turned her and tattooed her back.

Finally, she finished, but didn't move the woman. Instead, seven gems flew up from the wooden box. The blue one landed on the temple, while the six red ones landed on the feet and palms of both hands.

Her heart and the stomach.

Buzz!

As they did, the formation buzzed, and gems began to melt. They completely liquified within seconds begin to spread through the runes.

Within a minute, the whole runes turned crystalline. Giving the person quite a charm.

Though it is not a charm, but shackles, that are stronger than any collar they would wear.

The meta-scan once again appeared in front of the elf, and she looked at it. A minute later, she was satisfied by what she saw and lifted the woman and placed her left side of the hall before taking the second person from our pile.

This time, it was a handsome, small-horned man with scaly skin.

She repeated the same process she had on the woman and finished with him within twenty minutes before taking another person.

Six people went one after another before it was my turn.

She floated me and removed all my clothes, before settling me on the bed. She then looked at my meta-scan, before tattooing the runes on my body.

It is not a painful process, just uncomfortable. I don't like strange tools touching my skin, especially when they are in the hands of my enemies.

I bore it till she had tattooed the runes across my whole body.

It was when the gems flew up in the wooden box did, I became careful and looked at my preparations. These bindings are extremely strong, and they latched to the soul; there is no way in hell, I would let them touch my soul.

Buzz!

The seven gems touched me, and the formation activated before they melted and began to spread onto the runes.

At the same time, they begin to form a connection with my soul, or rather, the things it is considering the soul. It is working as I had expected, which isn't a surprise.

I had studied all types of collars that kept me captive to someone's will. It is not just physical collars; I have studied these rune ones too and they are the most dangerous.

Once she checked me. She placed me among the others, finished and brought another person into the bed.

Click!

Time passed, and it was an eleventh person on the bed, when the door opened, and an old man walked in.

He didn't say anything and sat in the corner, watching the woman.

They didn't seem to like each other. It is clear from the mood they are radiating. I could feel it clearly through my seeds.

Finally, the thirteenth one was finished, and the old man got up. He wordlessly picked us up and walked us out of the hall.

Once again, we return to the hallway.

This time, we didn't have to walk for more than a few seconds before he took us into the elevator, and it descended. It moved pretty past and continued for over a minute, before the stopping.

The door of the elevator opened and what I saw couldn't make my eyes widen. I also felt the soul sense of the Sky Sovereign, which I expected to be present.

Though, currently I am focused more on what my soul waves have found and understood, why they had brought us here. The purpose of the second formation had also become clear.

I am in a large underground round hall. So deep, that even the soul sense of Sky Sovereigns reaches this deep, unless they focus.

In the center of the round hall is a tree. It is a tree about four meters tall, with faint red leaves and fiery red fruits; there are nine fruits on it, to be exact, which have yet to ripen.

I recognize the tree with a glance.

It is a rakaeh tree; it comes in different elemental variations. This one is fire. Those fruits that look like they are made of fire are quite expensive; consuming one will give those born without a constitution a Grade 4 to Grade 7 constitution.

It is a tree of far lower level than the metal essence tree, but I had it on my list.

It also answered the mystery of why the method of the woman reacted to me. Her method was a constitution detection method and in this skin, I am showing my fire constitution, which it caught.

These are no doubt the cultists and they are using a shortcut to grow these fruits.

I can tell that these fruits wouldn't grant those who consume it constitution greater than Grade 5. If they used the proper method to grow these it would have been much slower, but they would have got the highest quality fruit.

There are crystal vines connected to the roots of the tree, with the other end connected to the one hundred and forty-seven disks. They are occupied by powerhouses of all three states of Sovereigns.

One hundred and thirty-four of those fiery red disks are occupied and with us thirteen, all one hundred forty-seven disks will be occupied.

I don't know why I am saying occupied.

The people are chained to the discs. Their constitution's power being harvested by the formations carved on them, and fed to the tree to grow those fiery fruits.

Looking at the state of people and the way they are harnessing the power. They are not even doing that in a sustainable way.

They could last only a few years, before the power is expanded and the constitution disappears.

One could only imagine what happened to these people after that.
