"waaaa Master stopped the fight!" Yunyun pulled his clothes. Grave ignored her and stared at the snakes. He got so focused that he started sensing the emotions going on in both snakes.
He sensed the emotion of the old snake. This guy spent months training for this fight and did so much hard work to make its coiling strong, all for this moment. He did not doubt if this snake would in other pits the old snake would easily win, but here in this pit, he faced a different monster.
A monster that counters all the old snake attempts, a young snake much younger than the old snake defeating it with such ease. Grave sensed the desperation of doing at least one good attack from old snakes.
He focused on the young snake. It had the attitude of it was not over till 19 body lay flat in the pit. Its split pupils' eyes were devoid of any respect or sympathy. The young snakes bit the old one with the same intensity as the fight started.
This fight got so brutal that Grave had goosebumps all over his body. He felt an emotional connection with them. He got frozen, waiting to see the end of this fight.
"WAAAAAAA Master, stop this fight." A loud shout made him come out of the emotional zone. 'fck' cursing in his mind, he turned to Yunyun only to see her crying out loud.
"What happen??"
Yunyun looked into his eyes and said, "Master you know the old guy works so hard but waaaa waaaa" Yunyun started crying while pointing at the pit.
Sigh, he just looked at them, doing nothing. Now that he was out of the emotional state, he started recalling past life.
This fight made him recall many terrible memories. In all those memories, he felt a sense of similarity to the old snake.
'Damn, I feel my situation was more desperate.'
'Thump!
The old snake failed in its attempt and then stopped moving. It stopped breathing, marking the end of the fight.
Hisssssssss the young snake looked up and hissed with all its power. Grave started into snake eyes and, unknown to him, a wide smile formed on his face. He nodded his head at the young snake and focused on the other fights.
"Snakey died?" Yunyun had a shocked look on her face.
"Master, why, why waa waaaa?" Yunyun pulled on his clothes. Grave turned to her and saw her red eyes face full of tears, and running nose.
He closed his eyes for a moment and then, when he opened them, he returned to the cold poker face. He pointed to the pits and asked her, "What you see down there?"
"But master, you know how much-"
He cut her, "Did others not train here? Did they not spend time to make themselves powerful?" he pointed to that pit with the young snake. "Did that guy not train?"
She looked down. "The snakey trained, but not as much as old snakey." She said in a firm voice and looked up at his face, "Master you can save it? Why did you let old Snakey die?"
He nodded his head. "You are right Yunyun, I can save it but tell me one thing: what you will do with the old snakey after I saved him? Look down Yunyun, do you think any of the snakeys would fare against a powerful player? No, all of them would have died from a powerful spell. If you want to care about them, then who will you send to fight to protect the dungeon?"
She stared at him, not saying anything.
Grave stared into her eyes and said loudly, "You want to care about someone? Then do care about winners. Losers have no place here. The more they win, the more they deserve my attention. I do not care if they had an advantage or disadvantage in this fight, I only respect those that give their all in the fight.
Many died in the dream fight, but all of them earned my respect. I do not care about how much they train, or how much time they live. If you died, then everything is over. Yunyun, the rule is simple you win. I will give you resources to become more. powerful you lose, then died. They're nothing else."
She looked at him in tears, "Master, that is too much cruel. You did not even know how much work Snakey did? You are cruel master waa waaa." She started wailing loudly.
He sighed and asked her, "You wanted me to go easy on them?"
Yunyun nodded her head while sobbing.
"Okay, I will do as you want."
Yunyun stopped crying and looked at him with a shocked face. She could not believe the master doing changes for her.
Grave made an announcement. "From now on, the snake can submit to save their life, but remember you will never get another chance to ever participate in the dream fight."
He looked at her. "Happy now?"
"mmm," she nodded her head and started wiping her tears."
All the snakes heard their interaction through the space village, as Grave was in god mode.
"Hisss hisss hisss hisss hisss hisss ."
After the announcement ended, all the snakes stopped fighting and hissed at her full of anger.
Yunyun got shocked, "why? This is for you?" she shouted to them.
"Hiss hiss," They hissed in low tones. All of them were complaining to Yunyun.
"You guys dummy. If you live, you might contribute in some other ways."
"Hiss hiss."
"You want to die."
"Hiss hiss."
"But but… waaa waaaa" Yunyun started crying loudly "Waaaa waa I want to help waa waaa."
Grave sighed at their denial of surrender. He moved next to Yunyun and patted her head.
She looked up, "Masteww Why snakeys angry waaa?"
"Stop crying. Take some time. I know Yunyun is smart. Yunyun will understand why?" Grave consoled her.
Yunyun tried hard not to cry and asked, "Master, is Yunyun wrong?"
