Chapter 146 - A Family of Strange Creatures, Each Stronger Than the Last (2/2)

Flanders leaned back so that his conversation with Sword Apophis would not be heard by the other side.

Although the two of them were communicating with their minds, there was no guarantee that these people would be able to hear their conversation because they were too close to each other.

After all, this was their Domain, so there was no saying what would happen.

Of course, these people might be able to hear from the beginning and would not be affected by the distance at all.

However, it would be meaningless whether they retreated or not.

However, retreating could prevent the situation in front of them, and not retreating was a type of situation that could not be prevented.

After keeping a distance from the changing family, Flanders continued to listen to Sword Apophis’s narration.

“Strange creatures are not all born from eggs. Basically, it will be born immediately after the right circumstances are met, not to mention hatching through the strange creature egg.”

Under sword Apophis’explanation, Flanders also had his own understanding of this strange creature egg. He nodded silently.

Then, he asked his new question:

“If that’s the case, then why is there a strange egg? What is the reason for this thing being born?”

Sword Apophis was also stumped by this question. It thought for a moment and finally chose to answer honestly.

“I don’t know the exact reason either. There are many theories about this thing, and there are many situations as well.”

If it knew, then it knew. If it did not know, then it did not know. Flanders would not do anything to Sword Apophis just because it did not know.

Although he treated Sword Apophis like an encyclopedia, he knew that the waters of this world were deeper than he had imagined.

Sword King was only a C rank small character. By his side, Sword Apophis’knowledge was limited.

Therefore, Flanders did not dwell on this point. Instead, he continued with the next question.

He was really curious about this strange creature egg.

“Then what is the use of this thing?”

Sword Apophis knew about this question. At the same time, it heaved a sigh of relief and told the truth.

As Flanders’s servant, its thoughts were not important, but its position in Flanders’s heart was very important.

Sword Apophis had already felt a sense of crisis because of the appearance of the pitch-black scythe and as Flanders’s weapon.

Even if Flanders did not say anything, Sword Apophis could not feel at ease.

As a strange creature master-servant contract, Sword Apophis could not let its master forget him. Otherwise, it would be locked in the sea of consciousness like in the past.

It was because of this that Sword Apophis would show himself whenever he had the chance.

In order to show his value to his heart’s content and avoid being abandoned by Flanders.

If it was abandoned by Flanders, then it would have almost no chance of rising.

If it could not absorb flesh and blood, it would not be able to increase its strength. If it could not increase its strength, Sword Apophis immediately felt that it was not far from extinction.

In the many years since it became a strange creature, it had dealt with other strange creatures.

However, most of them could not understand Sword Apophis because they did not have intelligence. Many things were done based on instinct.

In the end, they were either subdued and used as cannon fodder or killed by other powerful mages.

Some with special abilities were fine, but those with ordinary abilities were not even qualified to be subdued.

Cruelty, this was reality.
