Chapter 1644 Going To Look For Brunhild
"And there you go…"
I had put Bubu's egg inside my Item Box, which ended delaying his hatching a lot, but I really couldn't get him anywhere else here. This entire place had enormous things threatening to fall over his eggshell, but I decided to bring him out now that I was going for a stroll, just a few more minutes and he would finally hatch. I really hope he doesn't get into an egg in his next evolution though.
"Ah, that egg, I thought it had disappeared." Said Luminous.
"No I was too afraid it would break if something fell over it, so I saved it inside the item box. That bad thing about it is that the counter it has until it hatches freezes completely so even though hours passed, nothing has happened… Well, he'll hatch in a few minutes." I said.
"Your little caterpillar is really taking its time… Maxima Summon or something was it called?" Wondered Sol.
"Yeah, Maxima Summons come from the Dao of Summons, it is a special Dao created by someone in the Maxima Universe… Pretty much a universe where everyone fights with summoned creatures or something." I said. "I don't know much about it aside from that, but I know their hegemony dislikes people using their Dao without permission for some stupid reason."
"Hm, I didn't understand a thing…" Said Fiere. "What are Daos anyways?"
"A combination of Laws or something like that." I said.
"Laws?" Fiere wondered.
"I think it's useless to explain it to people that hasn't completely experienced it, but most of you already have probably comprehended Laws without realizing. The meaning of fire, darkness, wind, all of that. The better you become at using it and more, it becomes Laws you slowly master." I said. "But for now, let's go to the mines."
"It would be useless to explain to them, master." Said Colora.
"Indeed, they live in a world where such things as Laws are easily comprehended at their daily life, the specific terms mean not much to them." Said White.
"I think that Dragon has some Daos, he really feels like he got something strong." Said Black.
"I can also feel like he got something mighty…" Said Aquamarine.
"Fitting for someone deemed as a god I suppose though I can't see a thing by peeking at his Status, must be a hidden Dao or Daos. If he's really turning into a Supreme God, or anything above S Rank probably has a lot of Daos dormant within their souls." I said while rubbing my chin.
"Hm, perhaps…" Said White.
"What are you talking about?" Luminous wondered, raising an eyebrow.
"Ah, nothing, nothing~" I said, as we made our way into the mines.
Sol quickly noticed how everything was so arid and there was little food now. It seems that, according to the locals, due to the constant sandstorms the people that came to buy and exchange stuff for blood crystals has stopped coming for a while now. All due to the fault of the damn Genie. Oh man I am really going to beat the shit out of him when I find him. His screams will be delightful.
"After we are done with this, do you really plan on bringing Brunhild with us?" Wondered Sol.
"She seemed willing for an adventure so why not?" I wondered. "Don't worry, I'll protect her."
"Ugh, that is not so reassuring." Said Luminous.
"Eh? I am an amazing guardian of children!" I said. "I have over twenty kids."
"I somehow can't believe that even if its real." Said Sol.
"I can't imagine Kireina being a mother, she literally can't…" Said Fiere.
"You bastards…" I muttered. "I guess there's no point in this- Ah, look, the mines. Let's mine a bit of ore while we are at it, yes? And also pick some mushrooms."
"Monsters!"
Suddenly, someone surprised us.
Is this bastard calling me a monster or something?!
I was about to slap the giant in the face, but he quickly spoke some more.
"Monsters, there's a HUGE swarm of monsters in the mine!"
"What? How?!"
Another giant asked.
"I don't know but call the warriors! They were not normal, they were all imbued with miasma and were all black colored, they probably came all the way from below the mountains following the caves…"
"Shit! Call the warriors!"
"We'll have to also fight ourselves… they're too many, if they come from the mine we'll get our entire village flooded in seconds!"
"What type of monster were they anyways?!"
"Bones, bone monsters like the bone dragon!"
As we heard the giants scream, we hurriedly made our way into the mines without waiting another second, rushing inside, and seeking Brunhild. I could clearly feel the presence of miasma expanding across the mine. The bastard of the Genie had yet to give up on exterminating the giants, it seems…
-----
Brunhild ran into the mine as usual. She had been doing this almost every night for over fifteen years now. Since the day her mother died that she couldn't bear to see her father, who lacked an eye and an arm risking his life constantly to defend the tribe. Seeing so many people die constantly against the monsters… barely surviving however they could.
Since she was a little child that her mother taught her that it was important to use her power to protect her people, her village, and those she cared for. It was only brief as she was too young and her mother only managed to only teach her a few things about magic, but since that time that Brunhild discovered her "spark", the power of wondrous magic flowing across her body.
She trained day and night since her mother's death, in between tears, in between sweat and blood. Sometimes she almost collapsed in the dangerous mines, only to carry herself back home stealthily… night and night…
"I only wanted to help father…" She sighed.
However, another dream also emerged in her mind in that day when a wandering desert elf told her about the outside world.
She was different than her mother after all.
Aside from wanting to protect her family, she wanted to explore the world.
