Monster Integration

Chapter 1227 - Crown Tree II

"Going with such big teams would be like putting targets on our heads; going alone is too much of the risk seeing the numbers of monsters that are present." Rachel said.

"I think we should move by the teams of two; that is the best option for our current circ.u.mstances." She said, just as she said it, Mary and I looked at each other.

Jim and Rachel are engaged so that they will team up with each other, and so is Jacob and Nick, who is in a relationship. That left mary and me.

"As we have discussed, our top priority is to get the root juice of the Central Root, which is not going to happen within a day or might not even possible two days, we will need at least three days to extract the root juice of the central roots," I said, to that everyone nodded in affirmation.

"Micheal is right; we will need at least three days.," said Mary.

Half an hour later, we all got up from our seats; I don't know if we will see each other in this ruin again or not. As no one knows how much time it takes to extract the root juice of quality we need and other things, and nobody will wait for others.

So, we decided to make it goodbye. One by one, we got out of the abode and stood in a group of two.

"Best of luck to you all," Nick said before leaving with Jacob, and Jim also waved as he left with Sarah. "Its just two of us, hun," Mary said. I smiled before changing the color of my Armor to forest green.

Silver is too eyecatching; walking silver Armor is like becoming a live target for everyone to shoot; I don't want that.

'Here, wear this; it will help us make even more inconspicuous." Mary said as she handed me a camouflage suit. I looked at the suit and found a skilled artificer who crafted it.

Just looking at it gives me the feeling that one looking piece of shrubs, not a suit, the visual phenomenon of it produces is really amazing.

"A Tyrant Stage Artificer of my academy crafted it, it not only creates a very strong visual phenomenon, especially when you add mana into it but also produce the scent of the plants and hide sounds of steps."

"If we remained unmoved wearing this, even the most powerful monster here would not be able to tell the difference." She explained, her expression arse very proud when she informed me about the suit.

"Its very nice," I said, sounding impressed as I wore the suit over my Armor. It had completely packed my body; even the eyeholes were covered in the specially crafted glass.

I could open any part of this suit; it is not viable to keep it completely packed. I practiced opening some parts which would be needed to perform some of my attacks.

"Let's go," I said after I got familiar with the working of the Armor.

We both walked side-by-side toward the tree; they may look close, but it was twenty kilometers ahead of us, but it seemed closer due to its widespread branches.

We will have to walk about two kilometers before coming in its shadow and four more before seeing the roots. It is such a short distance, but it might take us an afternoon or more to reach it.

Many monsters are roaming around; attracting one will mean attracting several. If any monsters spotted us by mistake, we have to kill it before it let out a roar, or it will hell for us.

It is a good thing the whole area around the trees is filled with shrubs and other things that will help, but us hide better from the monster.

Time passed, and two hours later, we reached the in a show of the tree, we could see the long branches of the tree above us, though they are kilometers above and most of them are in th clouds, they are still there.

"Do you feel it?" I heard as Mary spoke through her Armor. There was no sound outside of she spoke but could be heard through the suit. Both of our suits are connected, and we could talk to each other as long we are in a certain range of each other.

"Yes," I replied to her; as we enter the shadow of the Crown Tree, there was a sudden spike in the density of the Cosmic Energy; its density increased by six times, which is f.u.c.k.i.n.g huge.

It is gentle wind becoming a tornado; feeling such change, I made the sealing of my Armor even more powerful, that no single particle of cosmic energy would seep inside.

It would not have been possible without the upgrade that I made; when I first entered this ruin, the cosmic energy was able to seep inside my Armor in some amount, no matter how much I tighten the seal.

In the upgrade, I had especially worked on the seal, knowing I would be coming here, and the time I had to spend worth seeing the density of Cosmic Energy far greater than I had expected.

I had expected to encounter this dense of Cosmic Energy when I reached the Crown tree center where Cosmic Energy was thickest, but that seemed too far from the truth.

This is just a beginning; I believe the Cosmic Energy we will face ahead will be something out of our Nightmare.

Though the cosmic energy is thicker, there is one silver lining in it, Vitality, which is just as thick. I could literally see the very faint green mist of Vitality here and there like golden brown Cosmic Energy.

After reaching the shadow, we continued, and as I had expected, the Cosmic Energy kept getting denser and denser, and so is Vitality with it.

'Micheal Look.' Said Mary suddenly and pointed toward a thing; when I saw what she is pointing at, a smile couldn't help but appear on the strained face.
