Roan got out of the game pod. It was not even an hour, and he got logged out of the game. Before logging out, he saw the green sky merging with the purple sky and they were forming something. He was sure that was the last step before the main egg hatched.
So much had happened just because he used his bounded weapon. It was hard to believe.
He walked to his bead and lay on it. Yunyun's description kept going through his mind.
He was analyzing everything properly right now.
The most problematic thing was the behavior of spirit snakes. In the old book from his last life, he read that the world tree related to every spirit creature. Upon their birth, they created a huge altar to worship the world tree and the world tree gave them its blessing through the altar.
If he was not wrong, then these snakes build the altar under the influence of the world tree and now that the structure got broken, they were back in control.
He underestimated the reach of the world tree and he was sure the moment the main egg hatched he would meet the world tree.
There was no way the world tree would ignore a presence similar to it that could have the power to go on equal to it or even surpass it. The snake born from the experiment was a child of the world tree.
Well, at least he was sure that he got a jackpot this time. This snake would definitely be higher than epic grade rank.
He stopped caring much about the war and the main event now. This snake right now was far more important than all other things. If things go right, this snake could become the pillar of his space village.
But there was another problem, the two destroyed eggs. These eggs had the epic grade power, it was difficult to believe.
The birth of these eggs was also quite interesting. From Yunyun's description, he was sure 2 outer entities influence the birth of these eggs. One of them was his bounded sword, and the other must be the main egg.
He knew from his past life all the bounded weapons had power in them that was dangerous to their wielder. It was a struggle between the bounded weapon and its wielder to whom would control others.
There were a few bounded weapon users in his last life that got corrupted by their weapons. They lose their reasoning from time to time in the game and started killing everyone around them.
It was scary for the players to lose control of their characters, but the power of these weapons had been nothing they could ignore. Just one weapon made them on the top player's list.
From Yunyun's description, he was sure that whatever that mana layer was; it was trying to control him and the moment he called his sword, sensei the layer around his sword release its power that black fog.
This black fog was corruption. Its only purpose was to make him mindless. Both dangerous things fought one another over him. He was grateful that the snakes born from these powers retained their mental capacities and did all that to help him.
It was rare for him, but when he saw the helpless broken eggs, he felt pain for them. It was not only about their power, but their uniqueness.
Both of them came into a bizarre category. He wanted them to be born properly and create and chaotic region in the space village.
But he knew that revival of these eggs was close to impossible until and unless some miracle happen.
He had done all he could think to give them the best resources possible. The corrosive black poison and other snakey poison would help the green snake to survive in the poisonous environment.
As for the black snake, it was tricky. This one needed Chaos element fog, but that was not possible for him. He knew that the huge snake blood with the pure crimson blood poison would definitively create some changes to the eggs.
It might kill the egg or make it more powerful. All of that was a gamble, and he took a calculated risk here.
He did not believe in miracles but his meeting with the world tree had many things that depended on it. He closed his eyes and started going through different scenarios in his mind. Completely ignored the other things and focused on his space village.
…
Inside the game. Yunyun looked at the test island with a concerned look on her face. She remembered how black Snakey told her at its last breath about strengthening the sword.
She was unsure whether to do that as she forgot to tell the master about this, but black snakey told her that strengthening the sword was very important.
She saw how it all started because of the sword, and this sword was special that the master never took out much, she sighed. The strengthening of the sword was not the only problem, but the method used to strengthen the sword was also the problem. She shivered just thinking about the condition to strengthen the sword.
She had to kill 3 elite snakey to strengthen the sword. How could she, the manager of the snakey dungeon, kill the snakey of her village? She shook her head and turn around but paused. The fight was still fresh in her memory. Those snakey sacrificed themselves for the master not caring about their life and here she backing down because of her feeling.
She sat down and started crying, "waaa waaaa Yunyun is weak. It so hard waaa waaa."
She continued to cry tears for hours. After much time, she got up wobbly. Her eyes were now dried of tears and she slowly moved toward the Grave.
1 step at a time and finally reached beside Grave. With her shaking hand, she grabbed the sword and moved back.
She felt nothing much from the sword. It looked like a normal weapon with some decoration on it. Not caring much, she teleported to the last corner of the poison forest. There were small spaces, many large snakeys were resting. Master placed them in a completely detached part from others and they did not even train much.
As she appeared in the air, all the snakey looked up at her and hissed in the union, hiss hiss.
Tears formed in her eyes but she control herself and said to them in a whimpering tone, "You guys master needs your help…3 of you need to die for the master."
As she said, there was a second-long silence, and then, "hiss hiss hisss hisss hiss."
From big old sneaky to the new just born snakey, every one of them offered themselves for sacrifice.
She did not want to delay much and select 3 snakey.
Hisss hisss hisss hisss
All the other snakey cheered for them. She took 3 snakey to an empty place and started crying in front of them. "I am sorry, guys. It is all because I am stupid. If only I know more maybe, I can save you. Waaa waaa forgive me, waaa waaa."
Hiss hiss 3 snakey moved next to her and licked her tears and hugged her. She hugged them back. If only she study everything and was as intelligent as the master, then she could definitely save these snakeys.
After saying the final goodbye to them, she picked up the sword with shaking hands and slashed at the first snakey with her eyes wide open. Blood spattered on her face, not caring much she left the sword there and saw how the sword absorbed the blood of a dead snakey.
The body of the first snakey shivered up, then she picked the sword and killed the second snakey. She repeated the process until she finally killed the third snakey.
The sword started floating in the air as she killed the third snakey. Some kind of change happened to it, but she focused on still moving snakey heads. She did not cry more, no it was more like she did not feel like crying now.
Something changed in her. When the sword dropped to the ground, she picked up the sword and dragged it toward the main island. She traveled on her foot for a long time and then teleported to the island.
With care, she placed the sword back in the master's hand. Then she moved back and teleported to the gene lab. She did not care about the blood on her and opened the enormous book and start reading it.
Her eyes were cold, with no emotion in them. She made up her mind to only get up from there when she finished her book.
She continued to read the book for hours and then, without her knowing, she fell asleep with the book open in her hand.
In the sleep, she kept saying sorry many times. She even cried a little more there. Today, the incident left a greater impact on her. Till now every time anything happened, she was on the back foot, observing from the side, but this time she was the initiator. She decided the fate of 3 snakes in the space village and even she was the one that delivered the final slash ending the snake's life.
This made her realize how weak and stupid she was. She was sure that her master would easily have found a much easier way. This incident create a misconception in her that she only kill Snakey because she was dumb.
She realized how ugly the dumbness was. With all that in her small mind, she decided to focus more on her studies to never face this kind of situation again in the future.
