Chapter 2049 - Nine Plated Quern II When I had reached home, everyone was sleeping, it was quite late when I came back, and I was feeling hungry. Thankfully, there is dinner for me. I quickly heated it up and ate with Nero and Ashlyn before I went to sleep. It was quite late when I woke up, but I felt good. Last night, I was quite tired; healing that guy had taken a lot from me, I have got massive benefits, so my efforts were worth it. Speaking of benefits, I have quickly gone inside my core, and changes inside it were apparent. The energy feels thicker and grasses more vibrant, and the most surprising of all is a shield; its recovery seemed to have exploded. I closed my eyes and soon understood the reason, the dragon bloodline contamination energy. It is consuming a lot of it, all the energy that is being purified, it is taking 15% of it which is huge seeing the level of energy. The shield is not only healing but also upgrading itself; it has taken a share of the prime mold that my totem artifact was constructed with and has been taking a massive amount of energy from my core, including from the moon, which is orbiting around my core. Now, it has begun taking the purified dragon contamination energies; it will heal and progress even faster. It is not just the shield taking that purified bloodline contamination, but Nero and Ashlyn are also taking it; they are doing it now. As the last disk released it in the form of dribble, both of them drank it some before it seeped into my ground and merged with the core. I also stored some of it in a few bottles; this purified bloodline contamination is extremely useful. Having a few bottles of the worth of it will come in handy. I could already see some usage of it, especially to my mother, who is still an elite, and like me, she possesses far more power than people of the class are supposed to have. After filling the bottles, I turned to a huge quern in front of me, which is still spinning ever so slowly but slightly faster than yesterday, others won't be able to tell it, but I could as it is part of my core, and core is part of me. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂 There is quite a change from yesterday; now, all the nine disks have bloodline contamination energies in them. There are different shades and amounts of contamination in each disc; the top disk had the most dragon bloodline contamination, its bright blue color like hellfire, while the most bottom disc had the lowest amount of dragon bloodline contamination, and it is colorless. After being processed by the last disc, it would merge with my core, strengthening it further. I need to strengthen my core at its limit; I would not make my next breakthrough without it; the next breakthrough would be important; it will give me the power of Grandmaster. I want to be the best, and seeing that monster yesterday, I am now more committed to it than ever. With the power of its bloodline core and the way I had distributed its bloodline contamination, he will be a monster like never before. I have to surpass that monster. It will be harder, and I need something extra to do it, especially match him with the massive physical and defensive power he will be able to produce. I controlled my emotions and calmed my mind before closing my eyes for a moment, and when I opened them, in front of is a huge runic sphere. The Runic humanoid from before had turned into this, but it is much more than what my upgrades used to be. The formation of the core changes the dynamics; with core, I now have more freedom, but there are also quite restrictions. Thankfully, I have made core from rule-bending power, so bending those restrictions would not be much problem, but still, I could only bend them but not break them; I will have to follow those restrictions in essence and not in words, and that is a lot of freedom, far more than others have at my place. I stared at the core for a few minutes before I made it disappear; I will start working on my core from today, but now is not the time; there are a few things like showering and eating I have to do before I could start with my core. Ting! I got out my core and went to freshen up and showered after that; I had just gotten out when my phone buzzed. It is from Pyramid, specifically from Grandmistress Charline; she is telling me she had accumulated all the resources needed to heal the Grandmaster and asked me when I was free. I wanted to reply with 'now,' but I did not; instead, I had replied with the evening as I had remembered the advice teacher had given me long ago, just when I had begun to walk on the path to becoming a healer. She had said that I have to set the limit and assert myself; otherwise, people would treat us like a workhorse and never treat us with the respect we deserve. I have to set the limits, even when I know quickly healing the Grandmaster would have greater benefits. There is a huge war happening, and the more Grandmaster we have, the better it would be for us. I have other things to do, too; I have to start working on my Inheritance, create the crystal roses and also go to the library and central farm in the Pyramid for my research to create my Garden. There is a huge space in my core, and I could not let it go unutilized. I want to create the Garden of my dream, which will not only provide me with precious resources but also be pleasant to look at, seeing I am going to spend a lot of time here, I need something beautiful and calming around me and what's better than a garden.
