Monster Integration (Web Novel)

"You have become even wilder," I said tiredly as I slumped back on the bed and immediately got the glare in return. "I love you too," I said and kissed her temple, tasting that wonderful sweat, which tasted like honey, but was deadly as nightshade.

The poison dragon bloodline is not weak, especially when it is working together with the mysterious lady of the forest bloodline.

We have been making love for nearly seven hours, trying to make us for months of time we have separated. Marina, as I had said, became more wild, taking the lead in the past ten hours, making me tired enough that now, I barely have the energy to walk.

I may be tired, but I am feeling wonderful, especially now seeing marina letting go of many of her inhabitation about her condition and starting to accept who she has become.

"Do you have any ways to deal with the curse permanently?" Marina asked suddenly. I did not answer the question immediately; if it had been someone else, I would have said something like, 'first, let me suppress it before thinking of eradicating it,' but it is marina, and I prefer not to lie with her when I have a choice.

"I have a few leads, such as the Masterson method, but nothing concrete," I replied, and she nodded. "Masterson method is good, but it will charge up poison and make the world notice it; there is also the question of stability and its tendency to burn the lifeforce," she replied, to that, I couldn't help but nod.

As I had said, she is one of the best healers out there; her knowledge of healing is no less than that of Gradmistress Charline, and if she had not been constrained by her level, she would have been capable of healing even Grand Lords.

"It had a problem, and also several other methods I have thought; I am working on them," I said. "Let me know if I can help you with something," she said, and I nodded before kissing her.

"There are a few things on which I need your help, but before we can start on them, let's shower first," I said; "I think we should shower separately," she said, and I couldn't smile at that.

"There is no need," I said and picked her up, and the next second, we were in the shower.

The shower was supposed to take about fifteen minutes, but it took more than an hour; but now we were fully clean and wearing some comfortable clothes, we walked out room into the kitchen.

All this intense activity has made me famished; I am sure she is feeling hungry too.

"What do you want to eat?" I asked as I appeared behind the counter, "Anything is fine," she replied, "I will cook your favorite dishes then," I said with a smile, and a large number of ingredients materialized, and with them came my twelve hands; will take a whole day, if I tried to cook with two days, with twelve, it would be much quicker.

"Nice hands; they looked quite strong," she praised, "They are; even Grand Lord wouldn't be able to escape once it had got caught in them," I replied proudly.

"Have you killed it?" she asked, with her soft voice. "Yes, I killed them; two, in fact," I replied, and her eyes went wide as saucers.

The Pyramid had released news about it, but that time she was sleeping.

"I am proud of you, not only as a lover but also as a teacher," she said as she kissed me over the counter; she broke the kiss when it was beginning to get passionate. Its good she did because I don't think I would have been able to control myself, especially when we were near the counter, which is one my favorite places.

"You are a tease," I said before focusing myself on cooking while talking with her about mundane things.

It took me about an hour to cook, and when I was done, the whole feast was laid out on the table, and only two of us were alone to eat it; there was no one but us. As Ashlyn went out earlier after she finished digesting all the energy, Nero is sleeping with rose, as she wasn't willing to let him go.

"You did not have to cook the whole feast, love," she said as she sat across me; "I wanted to," I said. She might be saying it, but she is loving; like any other person, she likes to be spoiled.

I filled the glasses with wine and toasted to the war before I began eating.

"Humm. Your skills have improved; I don't think anyone could match you in culinary skills anymore," she said as she took the bite. "I didn't really practice since when I was inside; maybe it is because I had leveled up," I replied; I had noticed ever since I had leveled up, I have been improving fast in culinary arts.

Levels do not affect culinary skills directly, but they bring immense indirect benefits, such as powerful senses, which help tremendously.

"I wish Ellie and Josie had returned with you; I worry about them a lot," she said suddenly, "Don't worry; they are fine and will return soon," I said, and these are not empty words.

I had the latest information till a week ago; Elina is fine and making rapid progress, while the news on the professor was barely a day old. The information I have from my seed in Lady Atkins, the professor is fine, more than fine; with the little conversation they had, she had told her she is ready to breakthrough into Grand Lord, and she is.

The new seeds of the Grand Lord class copy the information from other seeds when they are close, so I have got all the info of the professor, every challenge she had gone through, and every boost she had received.

From what I was able to find is pretty surprising; the professor was ready to level up to the Grand Lord class in the first month she had in there, but she held. I did not have time to study the data much, but it may be likely related to the unorthodox method she is practicing; it is very strange and different that my seed was not able to get complete data about it.

I hope that when she comes out, she will be a Grand Lord; we need Grand Lords; the more we have, the better.

I also need to focus on increasing my strength too; I have seen the power of Rhaek. The bastard is extremely powerful, against which I could not do anything else, and it is not the only one; there are several Grimms who have the power to kill me. I at least need to be strong enough to stay alive in front of them when they attack.

There is only one way I could do it quickly, and that is to kill and harvest the Grimms; the more I harvest, the greater my strength and the better I will be able to protect my race and loved ones.
