I pushed the door and walked out of the last hall, which was the first hall we had inside among the seven halls. There are some parts of it that have remained to be explored to accidental teleportation, which I did and got some good things, aside from the obvious law bones.

It had been two and half days since Lady Yui and Rhea had left, and I had explored this whole place, which I have to say was much smaller than the many vestiges I had explored but had a good thing high density.

I had a great harvest in two and half days, especially in two halls which surprised me with the things they had. Though, I had only found the resource of origin in the only in the fourth hall.

I have explored the whole vestige, but I am leaving yet; not in my current state, which is very tired after two and half days of constant exploring.

So, as I got out, I directly summoned my abode, and a minute later, I was in a deep sleep.

It was sleep without dreams that when I woke up five hours late, I was feeling completely refreshed in mind and body with all the energies inside me being recovered. I did not stay on the bed and went to freshen up and shower, where I stayed for nearly half an hour.

Wearing my clothes and my favorite jacket on top, I walked out of my room and went directly into the kitchen, where I took out some things and began to cook.

I cooked a simple meal with a few dishes, which Nero and I ate while talking; after we finished eating, Nero went inside the core and slept while I walked into the practice room; there was one very important thing I had to do.

Thud!

A loud thud rang out in the center of the practice room as I took out the rectangular crystalline bone block whose runes were giving me quite a strange feeling.

My clone was not able to find out the source of these strange feelings, but it did find out something after studying for nearly six days.

It especially made practice artifact of consumable category, and if my clone isn't wrong, then it is used to strengthen the bones.

I did not forget the bones owner of this place, they had a metallic sheen to them, and even after so many years, there was not a single mark of decay.

The strong bones have huge benefits, from more raw strength to greater defense, among other things, and I want that. Since I had come to this ruin, I did not make much progress; all the progress I had made was from my own methods.

Usually, when I come to ruins, I make huge progress; all thanks to Grimms, whom this time, I wasn't able to kill due to my lacking strength. Which had really frustrated me; it had been a long while since I had failed to kill the Grimms after trying for a long time.

I looked at the bone block before flying over it; from what my clone could tell, this block is in fine condition, which means I could use it.

As for whether it is safe or not, I don't have the faintest idea; I will know when I test this thing.

Tap!

I landed on the runic circle on the top bone block before sitting on it; as I did, I waited, as there were no activation runes through which I could activate the formation.

Buzz!

For a minute, nothing happened when suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my mind, only to realize it was a memory containing the method.

Bone Derivation Method is the name of the method that came at me, as there was no other info in it aside from how to practice it.

Reading the method, I know it is not complicated, but I will have to study it before I begin to practice. So, I entered my core and began to study it inside it with my clone.

It took me about one and half hours of outside time to completely study the method, and when I did, I began to circulate it.

The method is different from all the methods I had practiced before; first, it does not take the energies of the body; it takes one of the universal energies which have already begun to trickle into my body, and it also completely affects the bones, which is no surprise considering it is the method relating to the bones.

No change appeared on the block as I began to circulate the method, and I did not focus on it; the only thing focused on the circulating method, which is attracting more and more universal energy and fusing it to my bones.

About two hours passed, and now a torrent of energy was coming inside me as I circulated the method faster and faster; I could tell my bones were reaching their limit, and in a minute, they wouldn't be able to accept any more of this energy.

Buzzz!

Still, I kept circulating when suddenly, the runes on the whole block lit up resplendently, the strange feeling my core getting from runes became intense within a moment, but I did not have time to think about that as the bone devil rose from the block and begin to cover me.

I felt the bones of the bone devil wrapping around my arms, my neck, my feet, my whole damn body, and I was not able to resist it, which I tried.

This restriction had scared me, and I even stopped circulating, but it did not seem to matter as the bone devil continued to wrap around me.

The bone devil is binding me to my place, leaving me no chance to escape if things were to go wrong. It had taken me a few seconds to calm myself down.

I stopped resisting, but I did stop my struggle; inside my core, multiple formations appeared; some of them were very dangerous to myself, but I would not hesitate to use them if I felt a danger to my life.

The bone devil continued to wrap the bones around me till every part of me got completely covered in the bones. They are now covering me so tightly that I could not move even a slightest; forget moving, these bone binding had made even twitching impossible.

These bindings of bones seemed to be even tighter than the biding of my strings, and that compelled me to break them as soon as possible and run away, as I very well understood how little powerless one became when falling into such bindings.

Hun!

I was trying to calm myself when I felt sharp pain all over my body; thousands of thin needles had come out of the bone binding and pieced into my body from every angle.

The pain was nothing much, so I watched everything from my core; I could see my own meta-scan in extreme detail and could see how those one thousand and thirty-six bone needles were gently piecing inside me and only stopping when they touched my bones.
