Chapter 629 - The Secret Of The Eggs
Arthur wasn't dejected or hesitated as he rose again high in the air and landed over the same spot over and over until the crack turned into a crater wide and long enough to be proud of.
"This is what I was talking about," Arthur said in an arrogant tone before rising high in the air and descending once more.
This time the ground underneath the surface didn't show him the same resistance like before. He kept getting deeper at an accelerated pace while the voice kept his silence and never spoke for a while.
Until a day passed and Arthur was replenishing his energy using his pills and meat.
But with the absence of Gege he had to stop what he was doing every couple of hours and recuperate through meditation.
"This world… is simply amazing," as he moved from his place he couldn't help but remark, "I wish I could take it with me."
"Hahaha, nice dreams kid," the voice laughed and spoke after long hours of silence.
"I really mean it," Arthur wasn't dreaming, he really hoped to find a way to do that. This place was simply a heaven, filled with pure forms of energies his body contained and even other forms he never felt before.
Training here for a day was equal to training a couple of weeks outside, or even months.
"Stop talking about the impossible and go there and crack the last shell off that item," the voice said as if he was talking to a real kid, "after you see it you'll understand how impossible it is to get this place for yours."
"Do you want this place to perish with you old man?"
"Who is the old man?!" The voice seemed agitated, "I'm a young man!"
"Alright young old man," Arthur laughed, "I just wanna know if you hold this place dear to your heart and won't agree for me to take it away."
"Humph, if you can do it this it's all yours."
"Great," Arthur's grin was now from ear to ear while flying fast high in the air as he activated his technique.
Then he dived down to travel the depth he excavated and finally hit the ground with his sword.
"Rang!"
This time it wasn't a booming sound, but like his sword his something metallic. The hit cleared one hundred meters down below the level the pit was before, and now Arthur could see great chains made entirely out of silver white ore that sustained his hit without any damage.
"See?" the voice laughed, "you can't even leave a scratch!"
"This…" Arthur was speechless, but not from the chains. "I know this…" he paused as he hurried to the sky and then landed once more towards a different position to clear more dirt off this item.
"Y'know what?"
"That item of yours," Arthur rose up again and this time he seemed quite excited, "I've got a similar one inside my garden."
"You… what?!!" the voice seemed shocked, "I can't believe it, you can't even know what this is."
"I really dunno its identity or value," Arthur honestly said before diving once more in great momentum, "yet I now know it's such a rare treasure."
"Nonsense," the voice bellowed in disbelief, "I can't buy what you are saying."
"It's an egg, a very violent and repulsive one," Arthur cracked a smile over his face before adding, "I too used a technique to seal it. despite I only used low leveled pillars in comparison to these strong chains, but at least it's under control."
"Bullshit," the voice didn't accept any of Arthur's words.
"If you let my Gege come in, I can show you," Arthur couldn't help but calmly reply to the shocked voice.
"I can't do that, she will die the moment she appears here."
"Then I can't prove my words and you have to believe me," Arthur shrugged while diving once more to the depth of this pit and cleared another part of the dirt. "I don't gain anything by deceiving you."
"How could someone so weak and living in such a miserable realm gain such an item? I can't believe that… they became so careless about their belongings."
"Who?"
"I can't tell."
"Can't you write it for me?"
"…"
Arthur kept clearing the area down there around the egg until he created a great cave down below. The egg was identical to the one he had before, and this time it was restrained by these long and giant chains.
"Is it the same?" the voice asked.
"It is but…"
"What?"
"It's much more aggressive than the one I had," Arthur deeply muttered, "I've met two eggs before, and none had the same dreadful aura or gave me a threat like this one."
"You saw two before?" the voice was speechless before adding, "strange, did they really fall?"
"They might have," Arthur smiled, "after all the entire universe is ruled by humans and mages."
"They might just have retreated and went into hiding," the voice didn't think his enemies were dead, "anyway what you have seen or acquired is just a dormant version of these eggs."
"Dormant?"
"Indeed," the voice said before explaining, "these eggs need to be activated to show you their true terror."
"Are they this dangerous?" Arthur recalled the time bomb he held inside his garden.
"They aren't dangerous, they are coveted by many and that's where the risk lies," the voice said, "they act as a mighty source of endless energy, and the type they emit isn't that weak form of energy you know… it's the original energy, our energy."
The voice seemed quite proud of this, yet Arthur noticed something else. "These eggs came originally from you? Are they like… pillars?"
"They aren't formed by our bones kid if that is what you mean," the voice said before adding, "they are our babies, the ones who carry our siblings to the world."
"You… hatch eggs?!!" Arthur was shocked to hear that, even his mouth was wide opened.
