Chapter 1223 - Strengthening II

Blop!

Finally, after one and a half-hour later, I got out of water. This time the refinement took less time, but its effect far surpassed the other Cosmic Water refining Ive gone through, the benefits kind of shocking.

I could feel the strength coursing through every fibre of my body; my soul has also become even firmer as I could perceive the world around me at even greater clarity. Though going through such refining nothing but throwing yourself at fine, its benefits are beyond compare.

If I continued with such refining, I would get a body strong as the monsters. Though for it, I will have to go through such painful refining for months. Still, nobody will stop me from having a strong body as the monsters if I preserve through it.

This one and half hour of refining had tired me out very much, but I can't sleep yet. From tomorrow, we will face exceptionally strong monsters, and for them, I have to prepare.

All of them are at a higher level than me, and in the Apex Inheritance, even a small level grants a huge boost of power. I don't want to be left behind or become a burden to them; if Jim can successfully concoct that potion, I will get a good boost in my power.

Knock Knock!

I was busy with my thoughts when I heard the knock, hearing that I got up happily and wore a robe since I was n.a.k.e.d before I walked toward my bedroom door.

Click!

I opened the door with a click and found Jim on the other side, holding a small bottle with dark red liquid in it. "Have you able to craft it successfully?" I asked expectantly, looking at the bottle with dark red liquid.

"With me crafting it, how can it not be successful. I was able to craft it with better quality than I had expected." He said as he handed me a bottle, "Thank you." I said.

To be honest, I was half expecting he would fail, seeing how difficult it crafts this potion, but Jim did it, and now It is time for me to use it; after talking to Jim for few minutes, I again went back to the practice room and materialized the tub.

I took a special diluting solution from my storage and filled the tube with it before emptying all the solution into the tub; a second later, my robe fell on the ground, and I submerged myself into the tub.

The solution is quite cold but is not at the level I would feel uncomfortable with it. As I unsealed my inheritance, I started to feel this coolness spreading through my whole body as the runes began to suck the energy ravenously.

The runes are acting like they hadn't eaten something for a long while, and now they got something delicious, which they are eating up ravenously. The cooling sensation feels very great and relaxing, completely different from the hell Ive experienced earlier.

I could feel my runes are getting stronger and stronger; with them becoming stronger, my runes will also become stronger. The strength this solution would grant me would help me very much to get the things I need from the Crown Tree.

My runes are not the only ones that needed the solution's energy; there are Ashlyn and Nero, who are also taking their share. The solution contains a huge amount of life; it is more than my runes could manage.

Those who used the solution use it by drop while I directly use the bottle, so one can imagine how much energy they contain.

A little more than an hour has passed, and finally, every bit of energy contained in the solution had been sucked apart by three parties. This strengthening had given a good boost to my runes; it will be very helpful in getting what I need from the crown tree.

I got out of the tub and directly walked toward the bed and sleep without even taking a shower; the only thing I did was to dry my body with my before sleeping on the bed n.a.k.e.d.

I woke up in the early morning and showered before going to the kitchen and cook in the presence of Jim. When everyone had the early dinner, we all left the abode.

"From today stopped holding back; we have to finish every monster that comes across us as soon as possible; we don't want them to gather in a single place," Mary repeated once again.

We have already discussed our strategy during lunch and nearly covered all the aspects of it.

We have to be careful from today; I have read their organization's intel, which is much more detailed than mine. I have read the account on how their seniors had to run away when they let too many monsters gather.

With everyone understanding today's plan, we advanced. Like yesterday, I opened the few holes in my Armor to the left, my body refine slowly.

We did not come across the monsters for fifteen minutes, but we finally got attacked by two Mid Duke Bear Monsters, which were even stronger than Peak Prince Stage Monsters Ive encountered in subterranean.

They are also different than the Rock Bears we have encountered outside this forest. They have the same size, but the rock defensive layer covering them is double-sized than usual rock bear has. The quality of the defense also seemed greater.

As we spotted the monsters, Jacob and Nick disappeared from their spot, and when they appeared, they had their saber and sword pierced through their heads. The attack there was fast and clean.

The power behind their attack was unquestionable; it was so amazing that I couldn't help but became impressed. These two had not used this move of theirs when they were fighting against Grimm Monsters.

Like I had expected, all of them were still holding back when they had fought against the Grimm Monsters.
