I begin with the veins that connected to his heart, strengthening them with as much contamination I could. I even used the help of runes and rule-bending power to help his veins merge with more contamination than possible.

  These veins are the most important part in distributing the power of the core; the stronger they are, the more power they will be able to display.

  It is delicate work, and I needed more than an hour to work with his veins before beginning on the other parts.

  I have done great research on contamination and mutation as I regularly use them in solutions to rouse the potential of my mentees. I now have enough data that I could apply it far more effectively with much greater finesse than before.

  Time passed by as I targeted one area after another, layering with contamination which would merge with his body, strengthening him further and would not show any sign of aberrance internally and externally.

  Soon, five and half hours passed by, and I had applied as much contamination I could without making him aberration before I began to suck up the mutation inside my core into the nine plated quern.

  There is quite a lot of contamination produced by Rai's powerful hell dragon bloodline, and now it is all mine.

  Rai had used 60% contamination, leaving 40% to me, and this bloodline contamination was much more potent than the previous one that my quern would need, at least a week or even more to completely purify it.

  It took me about thirty-five minutes to extract all the contamination from Rai's body, and after I finished with it, I began to build the restriction.

  This time I am not only using my Inheritance energy and the rule-bending power but also internal energy and outside resources. These new restrictions I am creating are very powerful and would be able to contain far more sudden contamination without sealing his power.

  The things would become even more dangerous from now on, and if Rai did make a major breakthrough in the battlefield and accumulate the huge contamination, he would not have to come running toward me to deal with it immediately.

  One and half hours later, I tiredly take off my hands from the coffin and begin to take my back my strings.

  Rai is still unconscious but will wake up soon. I have made him unconscious earlier, so I could work on the distribution of contamination without his interference.

  It took more than a minute for him to twitch before he opened his eyes. "Move slowly; your strength has increased a lot," I warned him the moment he opened his eyes. I do not want to suffer because he could not control his strength.

  He nodded and closed his eyes, and he kept them close for a couple of seconds, and when he did, there was a great surprise in his eyes.

  "You have done a far better job than I had imagined, especially on my veins and scales," he said slowly, and a moment later, thick dark blue scales have appeared on his body; they have covered every inch of him.

  The scales now could not be compared to scales of before, which were faint and thin; these are darker and thicker. These scales were no armor but the scale itself that is hidden inside a layer of skin, which now he could bring out at will.

  The defense it could give it would be massive; even among equal power, his enemies would have to use near all their power just to breach the scales of his armor.

  "Just how powerful you have made me?" Rai asked suddenly as he looked at me, "I did not do anything other than distribute the contamination. As for your strength, I think most of the council members will have to use nearly all their power to defeat you," I said conservatively.

  He did not seem to surprise my words; instead, he kept staring at his scales for a few seconds before they silently disappeared under his skin.

  "Thank you again, Micheal, for this great favor. Currently, I do not have anything worthy to give to you, but as soon as I find it, I will give it to you to express my thanks," He said as he slowly got up.

  "There is no need, and as for your information, I have already got a thing in exchange for my services," I said, to which he smiled.

  "Madam," He said politely to the Teacher, a little too politely before he stepped inside the formation and disappeared a second later.

  The Teacher seemed surprised by his actions as me, but it did not affect her except for giving her a mild surprise.

  "With this advancement, he got a strength to affect the war greatly," the Teacher said slowly, and I couldn't help but nod at that. He is now one of the most powerful Grandmasters we have, and his strength would create huge waves in the war soon.

  "I should be leaving, Micheal, and you should sleep; you looked like a zombie," Teacher said as she walked toward the teleportation formation.

  Healing Grandmaster Meera and then working on the Rai had drained me entirely. There is barely any rule-bending power, and other energies have remained in me. If I closed my eyes right now, then it wouldn't take me more than a second for me to fall asleep.

  "Prepare as usual for tomorrow's session, teacher; it is quite important," I said as she stepped into the formation. She nodded and disappeared.

  I have been working on Teacher for more than a week; it is an experiment which I don't know whether it will be successful or not. Even after daily sessions, I did not see any signs of improvement; tomorrow will be different.

  I hope I will see some changes, even if they are tiny ones…… So, I could keep working on it, as it will bring immense benefits to the Teacher if it worked, even so slightly.
