Master Of None

Chapter 1161 – 1161. Big Change

Since Su was still tired, she opted to take a seat near where Alice and the high priest were. She thought it better to recover so that she would sleep training her control of light elemental mana which she still lacked. It would go a long way for her to be better at controlling mana In general. She didn't plan to bring magical skills in to every aspect of her fighting but she knew that even being able to sense it better would radically improve her battling styles. 

"Alice asked for the high priest to set up a room for the egg. It is perfect because it only allows the light elemental mana to gather inside. I think that we have done a lot to help it hatch faster and grow stronger." This was something that Onyx was more sure of than anything. It mostly spawned from the fact that he was able to sense the purity of the light elemental mana align with the mana gathering within the heavenly serpent egg. 

"I can't say that the appraisal will be much different than it was when I was given the egg. If it is then I will just tell you about what is different. I just don't want to get you too excited. The appraisal first said that it would need a hundred days to hatch. You spent all of the gold that was yours to spend on this. You can't believe that you won't need more. Also, what about researching your own race? Have you forgotten your goal? I know you have quests for it." There was a heavy and serious tone in Walker's voice that made Onyx shrink back a little. 

He knew that he was being reprimanded because Walker had some worries about him. He also knew that it was because Walker cared for him. But that didn't mean that Onyx was going to back down. "I believe that this heavenly serpent will be just like me and want to do the same as I am. I will help it at any cost. I also can take my own quests when needed to afford more light elemental crystals…" He trailed off and thought about what else he should say. But he had not been idle while Walker was away. 

"I reached out to the tamer's guild. Elise said she would have a friend of hers help me out. There is a giant anaconda tamer that searches for everything serpent related. He should have records and potential locations for me. I might be able to go out on a journey to find more of my race." There was a hope that Walker had not felt from Onyx before when this was said. Onyx did not feel lonely at all by any means. He felt blessed by the world to have such a family and so many relationships with others. But he knew that he was still just thrown in the category of monster. He wanted to be a race like the goblins had done. He wanted to be able to say he found his people and brought them together. He wanted to follow Walker's example and push higher than before. 

"Then I will support you. But if you get in to trouble and need help you should ask me. Never feel that you can't. We are family and everything I have is yours too. Just don't forget your goals. I can't have you working yourself to death. What kind of older brother would I be if that was the case?" Onyx raised his head in pride hearing this. "Speaking of working to death, we should check on Lisa when we head to dinner later. I want to make sure everyone has a good meal together so I will try and cook a little tonight." Walker had made that decision then and there. He knew that everyone would appreciate the bonding time. 

Onyx let Walker take the lead to open the door to the room set aside for the heavenly serpent egg. In just a glance, Walker could see the changes. The crystal clear layer that the shell was turning in to was spectacular. It shined with a brilliance that only pure light elemental mana could produce. There was also the fact that a lot of the striation along the egg had smoothed. If anyone looked at it now next to how it used to be they would think this was a completely different egg. It was starting to live up to the name; heavenly serpent egg. 

Since Walker had said that he would just say the difference in the appraisal, Onyx was looking at him with eager eyes. Walker knew this and carefully walked around the egg before using his all around appraisal skill. His surprise was clear and he couldn't find the words for the changes that he had found. 

"Not only has the hatching time changed from a hundred days to sixty but, it says that it will have accelerated growth because of the pure light elemental mana that it has received. You and Alice have done an amazing job!" Although it was still a long time away, the heavenly serpent eggs were many days ahead of schedule. Knowing that it would be able to grow faster when it hatched also put him and Onyx at ease. This was even better news than Onyx had imagined. He immediately rushed back out to tell Alice. He didn't care that she was hyper focused because he knew that she would feel the same joy that he did over this. 

Through the last few days, Alice and Onyx had gotten much closer than they had been. Their shared ability to use the light elemental mana was just the start. They had been bonding over their cares for others and how they could ensure that the heavenly serpent was closer to the best life it could live.
