The rock didn't stop buzzing after cancelling the technique. And that told him it was something that was related to his blood, not technique.
"Does it want my blood?" Hye knew that binding anything in this universe was related to blood. Yet he didn't know why the previous owner of this rock didn't try such an obvious way out.
He didn't know that everyone who owned this rock tried, including the ones running this auction. Yet they never gained anything back from doing this, not like Hye.
The secret behind this was related to his darkness energy. His blood was filled with darkness energy, not like any other being in the universe.
Hye's power was unique, not present in this universe, not that common in the other universe.
Hye dropped his blood over this rock, waiting for something different to happen. But as his blood fell, nothing happened.
"Don't tell me it's broken…" he didn't know why this rock buzzed when he released his blood and didn't do anything else after dropping his blood over it. As he got disappointed, he slapped it using his palm in a casual way, intending to take it back into his inventory and forget about it.
"Damn you! Let me go!" the moment he placed his palm on the surface of the rock, he couldn't retract it back. Some sort of unstoppable force appeared, pulling his hand towards the rock, fixedly pinning him there.
And then something new happened. The rock started to vibrate, while he felt like his wound was getting bigger, and his blood was getting sucked away at an alarming rate.
"Damn vampire rock! Let my hand go!" he tried to pull his hand with all the might he had, yet he couldn't. He hurriedly took out healing potions, ones he bought during the past twenty years using his bones, to make sure he wouldn't end up dying.
"Agh!" Yet for some reason, it seemed like what he did irritated the rock, ending up feeling like a needle was inserted inside his flesh or something. He shouted, tried to call for help, but no one was there.
"Screw it! I'll break free myself!" he started to release all his suppressed power, releasing his wings, and even taking out his glaive. Yet nothing worked. His glaive couldn't leave a scratch over the rock, while his wings kept pulling him hard away, failing in even letting his hand depart the rock.
As his attempt to drink the potion failed, he didn't do it again. The relief he felt back then was nothing compared to the pain that followed. And so he resigned to his fate, letting his hand on the rock, while examining it closely.
"It's shrinking…" This was the first thing he noticed after ten minutes. The size of this rock was huge at first, but now it looked a bit smaller. And that wasn't all.
For a reason, all the protrusions and indentations over its surface changed and started to fade slowly away. After an hour, the rough surface of this rock changed, to be soft.
The size of the rock decreased by a huge margin. Right now, the rock was less than five metres in length, two in width. It was a bit lower than half of its initial size. But at the same time, Hye felt weak as his blood kept sucking dry.
"I hope something good will come out from you in the end…" as he ended up in such a miserable situation, he hoped this rock would give something great in the end.
His wait lasted for three more hours. By that time, the huge black rock with irregular surface changed into a big egg, oval in shape, with smooth surface, and dark blue colour.
Hye couldn't believe this rock changed and transformed into an egg in mere hours. The size of this egg was just equal to half his body when he showed his gigantic figure. And yet it wasn't even close from its original size or shape.
"An egg? Don't tell me something is going to hatch from it…" he was in the middle of his words when many things happened.
First he felt like the suction force that stuck his hand suddenly vanished. In addition to that, the egg started to shine again, not in black light but dark blue.
Before he'd celebrated the freedom of his hand, the egg suddenly rose over the ground, got surrounded with blinding dark blue light, before he saw nothing in front of him but bright blue and white light, and then he found himself on the ground on his back.
He felt pain on his forehead and touched it to find something slightly bulging there. The moment he felt this, he hurriedly woke up, found a mirror at this place, and started to examine his face.
"F*ck! It got itself into my brain!!!" The face that appeared in front of him was his, but with the egg outer shell, a small part of it, appearing from the middle of his forehead.
He could see thick veins twisting from that opening, surrounding the egg, looking like serpents or something.
Hye tried to touch it again, but he didn't feel any pain. He didn't feel he was hurt or anything. And still, he didn't feel that good either. He got a mysterious egg into his forehead, one that was initially a huge rock.
"I won't buy anything random from that damn auction again," all his attempts to try and get this egg out from his forehead failed. He tried to use his power, darkness energy, even taking out a sword and trying to dig it out. He didn't even bleed when he did so, as all the blood was absorbed by this egg.
He felt more weakness, and that made him recall how this rock reacted when he took a potion. Yet this time nothing happened, as if the egg turned blind eye towards what he was doing.
"Screw you!"
