Chapter 1178 - Radiant Grove (1/2)

Ashlyn waked me up at 3:30 AM sharp as her shift is over. The forest is too dangerous to sleep without any guard.

After freshening up, I made some space and took out my experiment table and started my research. With the Teacher providing me enough research data and analysis, I am very close to upgrading my Inheritance.

If everything went well, then I will even have one more move, Rose Domination Set. Though I am close to upgrading, it is still far away before I could actualize it in the Inheritance.

I have come to this Ruin to find something that could kick me in my research and let me level up to Duke.

Hun!

Time passed as I continued when one and a half-hour later when sensors warned me of the monsters. I looked up and saw a snake monster coming toward the abode.

'Sigh' With a sigh, I got up from the experimental Table and activated my Inheritance before getting out of the abode.

The night hadn't been very peaceful; there have been two monsters that had attacked the abode during the night, which Ashlyn had killed.

'I will have to finish it as soon as possible; less the fight attracts more monsters.' I thought as I got out and sapped toward the monster in a sneak attack.

The monster was tough, and it took me more than five minutes to kill the Snake Monster. My luck was good that no monster ad got attracted by our fight.

After killing the monster, I erased all the fight signs, returned to the abode, and continued my research. The next one and a half hour passed peacefully without a disturbance of any monster.

At six, I stored the experiment table back into my storage and went to shower before I heated the leftovers of yesterday. Ashlyn woke up by the smell, and we ate until nothing is remaining of leftovers before walking out of the abode.

I inspected the abode for damage before putting it back in my storage. The Cosmic Energy affects everything; even a duke level abode will become unusable if I kept using it for the year.

The things inside the Ruin would have been fine if it had been fifty thousand years.

Powerful things last long, but this cosmic energy does great damage to anything. With the constant assault of cosmic energy for more than fifty thousand years, even powerful things would wither away.

With abode in my pocket, I continued with my journey. Today, I am faster; all the monsters we have come across were quickly dealt with by the Ashlyn.

I wanted to fight monsters too; these monsters are powerful and worthy opponents to sharpen my skills, but I want to reach the Radiant Grove first; I am sure I will fight many powerful monsters there.

Time passed, and I continued my journey toward the Radiant Grove. I started noticing that the concentration of Cosmic Energy is increasing as I head deeper, but the monsters also get stronger.
