Monster Integration

The hole of my abode closed automatically after I entered my abode, this abode is Peak Knight Grade and has one of the best defensive powers amongst the Knight Grade Abode.

The only downside it has is its size, it gives a very small space compared to the other Knight grade abodes.

It can be said to have a similar space as the studio apartment, it has a tiny room that had barely enough space for one bed and a small table, the adjacent kitchen and Bathroom also tiny.

There is one other room in it which has 1.5 square meter space, it can be used for anything but seeing how small that space is, one could only use it for meditation.

This Abode's defensive power is quite good that it can even resist the attacks of the Five Star Elite for more than an hour, so even the strongest being in this Ruin would take more than than one hour to break the defense of this abode.

There is no fear of being trapped in this abode, as long as I command it, it will dig the hole for me to exit within a hundred square meters of this abode.

After entering the abode, the first thing I've done is to take the bath. I have accumulated quite a bit of filth and dried blood on my body, it now time to clean it.

After I got out to shower wearing fresh clothes, I started to take out monster meat and cooking ingredient from my storage. I am very lucky that in the whole day, I have come across many monsters and which gave me quite a choice about today's dinner.

I chose one meat of monster and started to make the dinner, while I am making the dinner Ashlyn stood not far from me watching every movement of mine.

Usually, she didnt stay as in kitchen when I make the dinner but today she seemed very happy as she stood beside me watching me make the dinner.

The dinner is finished within an hour and we both ate till our stomach full, especially Ashlyn who had laid herself on the small table with her eyes closed.

"Ashlyn, you sleep first I will wake you up after six hours," I said to Ashlyn.

"Chew!"

Ashlyn replied and fell asleep withing. Three times the gravity of this Ruin did not seem much but when experience it for hours, it made one very tired.

I am also feeling very tired and wanting to sleep but did not as I have to keep the watch, in this realm one could not be more careful, no one can tell when something drastic will happen.

That is why keeping the watch is very important. As Ashlyn slept, I kept watching on the tens of screen while studying a skill on my holowatch, whenever the senses alerted me I would look up to see what is happening.

The night is when the monsters get active the most, in just hour I saw five monsters passed above my abode and one Grimm race monster if any one of them would have noticed my abode, they would have surely attacked it.

'Finally finished!' I said as I closed the window on my holowatch, this is the third skill I have fully studied after the physical skill and Skywalking skill.

With this Speed Skillfully studied my speed will increse even more, it will be very helpful in me running away if I come across any dangerous energy.

Looking at the security feed one more time, I get out of bed and walked toward the small meditation room.

Entering the meditation room, I have activated the security feed again, no matter where I am I have to have security feed in front of me, otherwise, I realize anything till danger came knocking on my door.

The fire started to appear on my hands and legs then the swirls forms and soon they started concentrating fire, making armor more compact.

Currently, the swirling armor is 1.5 inches thick but during the fight earlier, it had reached its previous thickness of 1.3 meters, now I wanted to reach that thickness and see if I could able to make it even thicker.

Before it would not have been possible to do that without gaining enough control but now with my progress in the soul energy, I will able to do that.

I started to spin all 12 swirls faster than the regular speed which they needed to maintain 1.5 inches compactness of the fire armor.

The swirls started to spin and with their spinning, the armor started to get more and more compact, having better control over one ability is important but it is equally important to have more soul power to make this Swirling armor stronger.

As the Swirling Armor reached 1.4 inches of compactness I found no irregularity which made me very happy but when the compactness of the armor had reached 1.35 inches, it had started to show little disability.

Though it is not much, it is still something as the armor became more compact the more destabilized it will become.

What I expected did happen further, the armor compacted the more unstable the swirls became, if not me advance in soul power and the few tricks I've learned through my experience with the swirling Armor, the swirling armor would have definitely collapsed in the puff.

With my skill and soul power, I was able to make my armor compact till 1.3 Inches and now confident that I could use the swirling Armor with compactness.

There will be a slight risk doing that but the power for the power it will provide will definitely worth that risk and that risk will not for forever, I am confident that in week or two, I will be proficient enough to use it with 100% confidence.

I continued to concentrate my armor further but the further I got more unstable the armor would become before finally, armor collapsed when its compactness just reached 1.25 inches.

I tried again and again but I could never able to make my armor more combat than the 1.25 inches, this 1.25 inch had become a chasm that is very hard to cross.

I must have tried more than fifty times but I have never able to take the compactness of my swirling armor below 1.25 inches, I get the feeling that if I am able to go below 1.25 inches then the power of my Swirling Armor would increse drastically.

After this thought came into my mind, I started to try harder and harder to cross that boundary to see just what kind of power is behind that uncrossable chasm.

Ting!

I was trying again with my fire armor when I heard the bell from my holowatch.

Six hours are over, I thought that means I have been working on my Swirling Armor for four hours and in this four hours, I must have formed the armor more than two hundred times but never once I had been successful going below 1.25 inches.

I did not go below 1.25 inches but with all these tried, my control over the swirls had increased a little which made me confident that as long as I gain enough control and soul power, I should be able to cross that chasm.
