Monster Integration (Web Novel)

"You are not trying to kill me, are you? I have heard how dangerous those luminescent pools are, and now you want me to enter a High-Grandmaster class luminescent pool," she asked, bearing an expression of outrage on her face.

"You will be fine; use those two things before entering; within an hour, you will gain the amazing benefits," I said, waving her concerns away.

"You know, I have seen the videos of the luminescent pool, and I don't think even my diamond skin would be able to protect me if I entered the High-Grandmaster class luminescent pool," she said uncertainly.

"Why don't I try the Grandmaster one first? Since you know, I am a Grandmaster," she asked, to which I shook my head. "Those will be useless to you; just enter the pool with those things, and you will be safe," I said.

"Fine, since it is you saying it, I will accept, but if I sense the slightest danger to my life, I am going to jump out of that pool," she said and flew toward the castle gates. "Good luck," I called out, and to that, she waved before flying out the gates.

She is going on a dangerous mission; from what I have read, region six is a dangerous place; even Lord Yazdi, with all his strength, nearly died there, and Rhea, as she had said, is still a Grandmaster.

'She will be fine,' I tell myself. Rhea is powerful, and with defenses, even a High-Grandmaster would find it hard to kill her, not to mention she has dee-dee her monster. From the reports I have read, the monster also seemed to gain the benefits from her bloodline and is no weaker than her.

I watched her till her silhouette disappeared before going back to the castle; there were things I had to do and much less time.

While I slept last night, my clone had read every little information I had on that thing, and it is a lot. It is useful, also useless. There is something that remained the same, but many things changed, especially the dangers.

A lot of people died inside it, even Grand Lords.

It is morning, and I have three hours before I have to leave for region 3. Now that it had become clear that things would appear, the resources have become even more important, as the project is going to burn through them.

I have already sent the updated missive earlier to the team. Before, we have been a little careful with the resources, but now I have asked them to burn through them; there is no need to worry about anything else other than advancing the subject.

This also means I will have to cut my trip short, but I still have two weeks, which I think would be enough, before I go to another battlefield in search of the data.

Click!

A few minutes later, I walked into the hall where Lord Yazdi and Lord Remus were already waiting for me.

"Let's start!" I said with a smile that made Lord Yazdi visibly shudder. I only have three hours, which means I am not going to hold back. I am usually a little considerate of the High Grandmaster, but now, I don't really have time.

"It is enough for today; we will continue tomorrow with another treatment," I looked at two High-Grandmasters who had collapsed in different places. Both of them have gone through different treatments which are suitable for them, but the pain they have felt is nearly the same.

"We have to leave for Region three, be ready in twenty minutes Grandmaster Remus," I said and walked out of the hall.

I quickly went to my room and brought out the delicious lunch my clone had cooked and began to eat with Nero.

Ashlyn had gone out in the morning.

"Father, you have to let me out today; you have promised," Nero said as he finished with his plate. "I will even help in finding those luminescent pools; I don't think they are much of the challenge for me," he added before I could say anything.

Nero is becoming too smart for his age; he knows my weaknesses and says the right thing at the right time.

"Since I had promised you, I will follow it," I said and lifted my plate to wash; a minute later, I am ready to ready to go out.

"You don't have to go inside; you can stay on my shoulder," I said to Nero when he was about to go into the core. Hearing that, Nero's eyes exploded with happiness, and he jumped on my shoulder.

I have been revealing Nero now and then, increased his appearances more in the two months. I have been keeping him inside too long; he needs to see the outside world more.

"There is no need," I said and petted his head before walking out of my quarter, only to find Lord Remus waiting outside my door; a look of surprise appeared in his eyes as he looked Nero on my shoulder.

"Lord Remus, it seemed like you are taking you are bodyguard duties quite seriously," I said, to which he smiled. "It is my duty and honor that I have got the job of protecting you, Lord Zaar," he said after a second of silence.

I did not say anything to that, and instead, I took out the white disc from my storage and placed it on the center of his chest.

Buzz!

The dick buzzed, and formation began to come out of it, and a minute later, the formation covered him completely before transforming into the grey armor of stone and metal.

"This?" he asked. "Grimms do not need to know there is a High Grandmaster beside me; I would like to fight them myself, and you would help me when I had asked you to," I said, "As you wish, Lord Zaar," he said.

It is not a protective armor but something that would actually hide his true aura; through this armor, he would be able to pose as the Grandmaster, and even a High-Grandmaster wouldn't be able to sense his true power unless he revealed it.

With this finished, we walked out of the castle, and the team was already waiting for us.

"Our destination today is also Region three; we are going a little deeper than yesterday, toward the red-dust hills," I said, and the golden lines began to come out of me, and soon the shuttle was formed, and they got in.

BOOM!

With the loud boom, the shuttle entered the air, and its speed increased even further, in the air. Nero, who was on my shoulder, jumped on the dashboard and looked around with his shining eyes.

"He is so cute!" said the young Master named Jennifer from behind; she tried to control her voice, but with our senses, everyone heard her loud and clear, including Nero.

Nero slowly turned toward the Master, and before she could process what was happening, she found Nero in her lap. It shocked her and scared her, but soon she calmed down.

"Do you want me to pet you?" she asked, seeing Nero nudging at her hands, to which he nodded, and she hesitantly began to pet him while casting a sneaky glance toward me.

I did not say anything, even happy seeing he was interacting with others.
