章 70: Meeting A Venerable Mysterious Being

The exhaustion he had took almost four to five hours until he managed to restore his activity again. He ate a lot of meat, and a lot more was now stored inside his ring hour after hour. The cooking efficiency of the team elevated under Ouly's guidance, and Arthur just sat there, enjoying the good treat he deserved.

On one side of his ring, there were many wooden containers, containing a variety of oils, extracted from the meat of many monsters. Some were explosive in nature, while others had some healing and supporting abilities that were able to accelerate the wounds healing his group had.

He separated the containers of fire away from the containers of life, as he loved to call them. He planned to use this oil in elixirs he intended to make once he gained full control over this garden.

This garden was like the crown of his achievements in this world so far, as he planned to use elixirs to boost his strength, and his group as well. Making elixirs, crafting weapons, and cooking were one of the essential talents of any cultivator.

Arthur knew his group was strong, so freakishly strong in this part of the world, but he also knew they were still mediocre in the eyes of the academy and other mages.

He intended to use every possible means to strengthen his group, making advanced items and weapons for them to use, elixirs to support and enhance their growth speed, and meat to help and grow their affinities to a higher level.

He knew this might take quite some time, but at least he needed to provide them with some basic supplies before leaving for the academy.

As he regained his full vitality and stamina back, he started moving from his place to check others. The cooking festival was going smoothly, with happy laughters of everyone, stimulated by the awesome aroma of food, and the high potential of growth they eyed in each meat piece.

Arthur wanted to store as many meat as he could, and that wasn't only for his group, as he planned to go on and seize all the territories around his clan, joining all the lands together, and then call for those who had some strength to be tested under, and then received his care if they had potential.

As he checked the status of his group, he decided to proceed with his plans. It was already approaching night, so it was time for him to start working. He planned to make everyone of his team be a mage, officially stepping into this realm, him included.

So, he went to prepare, using the precious blood of that scorpion lying inside his ring, he drew many circles on the ground. He also made many runes to be used in the process, using the newly acquired ore from the mountain with the blood of that scorpion, and after one hour, and with the formal descent of the night, he finished his preparations.

As for monsters, he had already decided to use one horned monster inside his ring. He still had some of them alive, the ones he thought they might benefit his team, and the moment to use them had come.

"Omar, Randy, and Amelia, you will lead the others to keep the cooking continued, and guard us while we finish our preparations," Arthur spoke to the three, as they were the strongest mages he had, and he planned to depend on them more in the coming days.

"Don't worry, we will be ready," Randy said, in an enthusiastic way, as for Omar, he was still not recovered from the betrayal he had experienced, and he still looked quite dejected.

"Omar, don't be like this. That man's betrayal had nothing to do with you," Arthur decided to give him a word of encouragement, in an attempt to not make him feel this bad.

"Thanks, leader," Omar said, in a better tone.

"Good, I will go and start the coupling, you will take charge now," Arthur said, as he looked to Ouly, Madly, and the others who still hadn't got their inner demon and said:

"Come with me, it's time for you to be officially mages."

They whispered between themselves, with much enthusiasm and excited faces they followed him. Arthur then introduced them to the process, simply telling them what to do.

It was simple, and they had already witnessed the three, Ron, Tarry and Edwar do it from before. Arthur then took out their monsters, who stood calmly, and very docile, in their places, motionless, waiting for their fate to be absorbed as inner demons.

Arthur chose monsters wisely, based on each person's special ability. He piqued a fox like monster for him, Ouly, and Drago, the three in his team with mind abilities. He knew what it meant to be a mind freak, and despite he wasn't one, his mind control ability over weapons was considered a high mind ability as them.

Once he finished everything, he sat on the ground, closed his eyes and started to meditate. He knew the process would take much time, and might drain most of their strength, so he made sure to give them a suitable amount of meat to consume, just before starting the coupling process.

He closed his eyes, and cleared his mind from any thoughts, and waited for the process to start. Suddenly, he felt attraction force, strange, yet quite familiar, with some burning pain inside his heart, quite tolerable for him to endure, and thus he kept motionless in his position, not making even a sound.

The traction force started to get stronger, and the pain escalated, strangely, to start and cloud his mind. He felt himself being drifted in tempests of opaque white fog, something he never experienced before.

"State the name!"

Suddenly, a majestic venerable sound echoed in his ears, like it was coming from every single aspect around him. He didn't know what was going on, as this was totally different from the coupling others had gone through.

They just went to sleep, and nothing happened to them, but he had a different experience than them, and he didn't know why. He thought it might be related to the fact he was a transmigrated person, someone who came here from another world.

"Arthur," he said, as this was the only answer he had in mind.

"Wrong," the deep and venerable voice replied in a majestic way, and he started to feel the fog around him to stir, forming small whirlpools in many places. "State the name, this is your last chance. State the name or vanish from this realm!"
