Chapter 2003 - Nero
Chapter 2003 – Nero
Crack Crack Crack…
This cracking sound is coming not from the core but from Nero; he is finally breaking out of his egg at the worse possible timing. The sentient Curse is very powerful right now, capable of crushing anything in a single attack; it will not leave Nero alone.
Just as I had thought that a river of tendrils released from the core, and they came at Nero with great fury.
The Curse also seemed to understand that Nero could pose a serious threat to it and want to crush him before he could become a trouble.
I wish I could help him in some way, but I could not. The only thing I could do was warn him, and I am doing just that, screaming my mind off at him through our link, asking him is get out of my body as soon as possible, but it looks like he is not listening to me, I have sensed no reaction from him.
Soon, the hundreds of tendrils of Curse had reached the cracking egg of Nero, which looked like a work of art itself with numerous beautiful designs on it; this work will soon be destroyed by those descending tendrils; I just hope that Nero somehow survives.
Hun!
Hundreds of tendrils came down on the cracking egg, and just when they were about to crash on the egg, a faint white light released from the egg and vaporized every tendril that came to attack it.
"Snort!"
Seeing that, a relieved smile couldn't help but appear on my face before it disappeared as I heard the snort from the Curse inside the core.
The next second, thousands of tendrils released from the core, thicker and more powerful than the cursed tendrils earlier, and all of them went for the egg.
As it came down on the egg, it had again released the faint white light, and like before, all the curse tendrils vaporized the moment they touched the white light.
In front of this white light, it did not matter how many tendrils were there or how strong they were; as long as they touched the white light, they would be completely vaporized, leaving not even a single speck.
Khutch!
The cracks had spread throughout the whole egg by the time all the tendrils vaporized when suddenly something came out of the egg. At first, I did not believe what I was seeing had to look carefully to ensure I was not hallucinating.
Tiny antlers are the first thing that came out; these centers are pink with beautiful scarlet and blue designs. These antlers looked like they had been carved by the great creator themselves; they were enchantingly beautiful, but the surprise of antlers is nothing in front of what Ive seen next.
Khutch!
The antlers moved up, and a cute white face came out of the egg before his whole body wobbled out of it like a newborn, newborn fawn, but this is no fawn; it is a cub, a very cute wolf cub with antlers on his head.
What came out of eggs is a white snow cub with antlers; I am in shock would be an understatement. To be honest, I had expected Nero to be a snake; it is the form he had held before, but he turned into a wolf and a wolf with antlers, and he looked damn cute.
I did not want to admit it, but he looked cuter than Ashlyn, the cutest thing I had ever seen in my life. Anyone who would see him finds the same. With its snow-white fluffy fur and gemmed eyes, and enchanting antlers, he is the cutest thing in the world.
Crunch Crunch Crunch
As Nero came out, he immediately started to munch on the eggshells, and within seconds, he finished eating them all.
Just as he finished eating, a huge hand made of the Curse came at Nero; the Curse did not want to take any chances and attacked Nero with its strongest attack.
"Die, you, little bastard!" The Curse shouted from the core and brought down its hand at Nero; seeing that, my heart couldn't help but shudder.
I should not have felt fear at all; the moment hand came close to it, a white light began to radiate from snow-white fur of Nero as it did; it had wiped out the powerful attack instantly; it did not even take a second to completely wiped out.
"Father, don't worry, I will get rid of this parasite for you," Nero said in a cute toddler voice before turning into the streak while I remained utterly dumbstruck.
'He talked.' I said to myself in shock.
First, it was the Curse and now Nero; from what I had read, it is very difficult for artificial life to learn to talk from gaining sentient. It requires a huge amount of time and many life-changing chances, but these two seemed to be in no need of those things.
Looking at the size of Nero, he looked like a wolf cub which is barely a month old and talks like a toddle who had just learned to speak without stumbling, but I have no doubt that he is intelligent, as intelligent as me or even above.
"Ahhhhhh!"
Nero streaked inside the core without a problem, and second later, pure which light shot out of the core and with it mournful screams of the Curse that hearing it even I started to feel the pity for it despite knowing what sort of abomination it is.
Soon, all the dark tendril covering the core had disappeared, but the white light of Nero had intensified again that even seeing my core in the blazing light had become difficult.
"You will not be able to hide this time, vermin!" Nero shouted, and white light again intensified and began to spread inside my body and soul from the core, reaching into the deepest corner of me.. It seems like Nero is not willing to spare even a speck of Curse, wanting to eradicate all by his purifying light.
