Chapter 83 - Reflections About The Future (2/2)

When Luke arrived in his room, he saw that the Black Egg was on his bed, exactly as he had left it.

'That thing has to hatch in less than 2 months.' He thought as he gently smoothed the thing's rigid shell. 'Should I with Alexis about it?'

Although the half-dragon had only been at the Strogueher mansion for 1 day, she had already gained the respect of many of the staff. However, Luke still didn't know what she was exactly, so he remained closed to conversations with her outside of Nathalia's presence.

The reason for this? He always felt that she was watching him. Even during meals, training, on the way back to the city, and even inside the post office. Whenever he looked at her, she would look back at him and continue to stare as if attentive to his presence.

'No... she didn't comment at all when I brought this from Dungeon with me, so she must not know much either.' He concluded.

Since the half-wolf didn't know much about her, other than that she is extremely strong, he decided not to give any room for confusion and chose not to tell the half-dragon about the egg.

However, Luke should have taken one factor into account when making this decision: the egg was found between the arms of the White Lizard, who was sleeping comfortably next to the white cube in the Dungeon.

Now, focused on assimilating the skill he bought, he put all other thoughts aside, put the egg under the bed and sat on the bed, cross-legged.

'Should I start with <Vind> or with the <Sirkelig>?'

Luke was concerned about the performance of the <Vind> skill because although he could use it with ease, the skill's power fluctuation was not unusual. Sometimes the wind was very powerful and effective, sometimes just a weak breeze.

And the mental image he now had of the ability was like an endless cliff down, which he plummeted as he felt the windthrow his hair back.

After a few tiresome minutes of assimilation, Luke finally felt he had arrived somewhere, but he decided not to test <Vind> right away since he was inside his room.

'Let's get to the hard part now.' He thought after resting for a few seconds and began to focus on the description he had of the <Sirkelig> skill. 'A circle, a circle...'

What could make a supernatural creature weaker? A symbol? A material? Luke understood too little of the subject to give an exact answer, and all he knew was that slime is toxic to demons.

However, this ability bought for only 100 silver seemed to be the right answer because it can weaken these supernatural beings and strengthen the user. It is perfect and convenient.

As soon as the assimilation began, a kind of chill spread down Luke's entire spine. It imparted a nefarious feeling, which was familiar to the half-wolf.

This feeling was the same feeling he felt when he touched the door of the Giant Spiders, the same feeling he felt when he was paralyzed by something in that chamber, and the same feeling he felt whenever he remembered the demons.

Deep down, the half-wolf knew that the situation with the demons was not close to being over in Vasconcelos. In fact, he could even predict that it would get much worse and, without knowing how to explain the exact reason, he just wished he was out of the city before this mix-up burst.

So he didn't continue with the assimilation and stood up determinedly and opened the bedroom door.

'I like you, Ayumi, but I can't stand still until this egg hatches.' Luke thought and started walking towards Ayumi's office, where he intended to look for clues about the Strogueher's purchase of the Genes.
