Chapter 710 Hatched [Bonus]
A while ago, when Max announced his name, Overlord…
In the underground ce where the supreme mage who had hijacked Max''s system was recovering…
Crack!
A faint cracking noise echoed, the origin of which was a golden ck egg the size of a ser ball.
Crack!
The egg trembled, and a small crack appeared on its shell.
Crack! Crack!
A momentter, it trembled a little more violently, and more cracks appeared. This continued for several minutes, when all of a sudden…
Pop!
A small golden snake head popped out from the top. It was very small, the size of a newborn child''s palm, and the pristine covering of small golden scales and its deep ck eyes made it look very adorable. The snakehead flicked around, looking at the surroundings with curiosity flickering in its eyes.
It then started wiggling its body, and a few momentster, it managed to leave the egg''s confines.
Si~
As its small red tongue flicked, it made a faint noise and turned around to look at the egg, in which it had been until now, and its eyes shone with intense hunger.
Crunch!
Immediately, it started nibbling at the small pieces of shell around it that broke off when it forced its way out of the egg and soon swallowed all of them. However, they were far from enough to sate its hunger, so it slithered to the egg and started eating it too.
Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!
After a long time, it ate all of it and hissed in satisfaction.
Then it looked around and noticed pieces of flesh and blood lying on the center of the tform, not far from it.
Si~
Its tongue flicked the air, and immediately, its eye lit up with an intense desire.
Coiling its foot-long body, it leaped toward the center of the tform.
Coming in front of the biggest piece of flesh, it was about to start eating, but right when it came into contact with the flesh, it froze, its eyes shing with dread.
Pulling back a little, it tilted its head and looked at the flesh as if to ascertain it was dangerous or not. But all it could see was a delicious piece of meat, and it immediately bit down on it. Though the pressure fell on its tiny body again, it ignored it and quickly devoured the piece of flesh.
Burp~
Though it didn''t make the exact burping sound, its satisfied expression and slightly protruding belly conveyed the same.
A few momentster, its eyes became drowsy and it fell asleep.
Shua! n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
As the flesh, which it did not know belonged to a supreme mage, was digested, its body was covered in a golden ck light.
…
"What do you mean?" Wyomin asked, her brows knit together into a deep frown. "How could saving those kingdoms make us lose the entire continent?"
Verana shook her head. "I don''t know how, but when I protested their decision, my elders told me this."
After a pause, she added, "But know this: there are things that we aren''t aware of or maybe can''tprehend are at the y here. So, let''s just do our duty and hope this war finishes soon."
Wyomin nodded and left. After she entered her chambers, her eyes narrowed. She was suddenly feeling uneasy.
Then she took out hermunication crystal and sent Max a message.
…
Max had just arrived in front of Martha''s formation house, where Lily and others were cultivating, and was thinking if he should message them, which would interrupt their cultivation, or wait for Martha to return when hismunication crystal buzzed; Wyomin had sent him a message.
[Try to increase your strength as much as you can in the shortest time possible. Also, can youe sooner to inject your energy into my branch?]
His gaze flickered in thought when he heard this.
Just a short while ago she had told him not to worry, like everything was under control, and now she was showing such urgency as if something could go wrong at any moment.
''She also doesn''t know what''s going on?'' He realized,
Taking a breath, he closed his eyes. ''Strength. As long as I''m strong enough, no matter what happens, I won''t need to worry about anything.'' He muttered in his heart. He could see, unlike the time when he just got the system, his desire to be stronger was growing day by day… or maybe it would be more urate to say the world itself was forcing him to be stronger. [Come out.] He sent Lily, Emily, and Sera the message, and just a few momentster, the trio emerged from the formation house.
"What is it, Max?" Emily asked, seeing he was a little distracted.
"Nothing." Max shook his head before saying, "Let''s go. We are going to rent a training room in the temple."
"But young master, it costs too much. Why don''t we just cultivate in the formation house? There are special formations to aid our cultivation–" Lily said, wanting to save his merits, knowing he must have already spent quite a bit on buying those countermeasures.
"There is no need to worry about anything. Let''s go." Max interrupted her and led them to the war temple.
On the way, they ran into Martha, Pauline, and others.
"Where are you going? To buy those countermeasures? Don''t go if you don''t have at least 50,000 merits." Pauline said, looking a bit glum.
"No. I have already bought it. We are going to rent a training room in the temple." Max said before looking at Martha and Kriss, "If you have enough merits, you should do the same."
Saying this, he led them away, not wanting to waste more time.
Pauline became even more glum and stomped her feet. "Does he think we have unlimited merits? How infuriating!"
While she readied to return to her formation house, Martha and Kriss hesitated, and almost simultaneously, they said, "I''m going to rent a training room, too."
The duo nodded at each other before Martha looked at herpanions and Kriss at Pauline.
"If you want, I can pay for your room."
However, both Martha''spanions and Pauline declined their goodwill and returned to their formation houses to cultivate while Martha and Kriss went after Max''s group.
Soon, they caught up to Max, and Martha asked, "Do you know something?"
