Sovereign of the Firmaments

Chapter 45 - Little Snake

Lucas was surprised by the system's words for a moment before asking, 'Oh really? But why is there nothing like that in my memories?'

Because he had never seen such a thing in his memories.

'Ding,

Because no one will wait until the spirit beast hatch on its own; instead, they will drop their blood and fasten the speed ofo hatching which decreases the potential of the hatchling inside the egg.

'Oh.'

After seeing the system notification, Lucas understood and could not help but shake his, 'No wonder, humans are the same everyone. Greedy and anxious to become powerful.'

'Since it is coming out on its own, it should have a good potential, right?'

Lucas asked while waiting for the spirit beast to come out of the egg.

'Ding,

The potential of the spirit beast depends on so many factors and it was one of them.

'Kacha'

Just as the system sent the notification, the spirit beast eggs that looked like a stone completely hatched as a thin and small red-coloured snake came out of the egg.

'Hiss'

It hissed and looked at its surroundings before its small elliptical eyes landed on Lucas.

'Swoosh'

As though it saw its parent, the small red-coloured snake rushed towards Lucas before climbing onto him as it looked into Lucas' eyes.

"In the past, most people feared to look into my eyes and look like you are quite daring."

Lucas joked as he pointed at his eggshells on the ground, "Don't you want to eat them?"

According to his memories, hatching will eat the eggs shells; however, from the looks of it, the small red snake didn't bother to look at the eggshells.

'Just go and give it a try.'

While saying that, he threw the small snake towards the cracked eggshell.

'Hiss'

It hissed at Lucas as though it was asking why he threw it away; however, in the next second, it felt a strong sense of hunger and its mind was telling it to eat the eggshells.

'Slurp'

The small snake which didn't show any interest in the eggshells swallowed its first eggshell with some hesitation; however, once it got the taste of the eggshell, it started devouring them.

'See, you are very hungry.'

After devouring all the eggshells, the small red snake fell asleep, making Lucas shake his head.

"Now, it's time to leave the cave before they come."

With that thought in his mind, Lucas picked up the sleeping snake and threw it into a small cloth before putting it in his robes.

'I remember Evan asking for a spirit beast pet in the past. I think this will do for now.'

The only reason he picked the small fire snake was for the sake of his little brother who was very fond of spirit beast pets.

Even though he wanted to form a contract with it before, it was also for the sake of his little brother.

In his previous life, if he had seen a snakelet, he would have not looked at it the second time; however, now, things have changed for him and he wanted to change.

'I wonder what they are doing without entering the cave? Have they already started fighting?'

Soon, he came out of the cave wondering why it was taking so long for others to enter the cave.

'As I expected.'

Lucas was not surprised because that's how this world is.

'Huh? That young man is dead?'

What surprised him was the death of the young man who was wielding a rank 3 sword.

'As long as I kill them all, I can have a rank 3 weapon along with the rank 2 weapons and who knows what they were hiding in their pockets.'

Even though he didn't want to get involved in others' fights when there were so many good things, how could he resist it?

With that thought in his head, Lucas moved a little closer to the fight and started chanting a spell.

"Whoever you are, help the weapons pavilion to kill these perpetrators. I will make sure you will get a good reward for your service."

Seeing that Lucas was just standing and not joining any side, one of them asked for Lucas to help them.

However, Lucas didn't say anything because he was chanting for a spell in his heart.

"If you help our Honorwolf family, as one of the young masters of the family, I can give you more than what the weapons pavilion will offer you."

And why would Logan keep quiet while the other party was giving such offers to Lucas? So, he also asked for Lucas's help.

"You know about the weapons pavilion, right? How powerful are we? So, I hope you can think wisely before choosing your side."

Just as Logan finished his offer, the weapons pavilion members directly used the influence of the weapons pavilion.

In front of the Weapons pavilion, the Honorwolf family is weak and poor. So, they were hoping that Lucas would join their side.

"So, you are threatening me?"

Exactly, after nine seconds, Lucas finished his chanting and scoffed at the weapons pavilion's members.

'Thunder bullet'

He aimed at the one who looked to be more powerful among the three members of the weapons pavilion.

Among the three basic spells he had, only his 'Thunder bullet' had the ability to kill a squire; however, if the squire was alert, he could easily dodge it or defend it.

Nevertheless, currently, that young man was in a stalemate with Logan. So, Lucas knew he already got the kill.

'Ding,

The host killed an injured high-level squire. Gained one sovereign point.

'Ding,

+1 units of magic power recovered from the earlier spell with the help of the Eternal recovery technique.

'Ding,

Magic sea:- 93/ 100 units magic power.

'This eternal recovery technique is good.'

Lucas praised his new recovery technique as he rushed towards the youngsters who were shocked by Lucas's 'Thunder bullet'.

"Puchi"

"Puchi"

Within no time, he caught up to the two other members of the weapons pavilion as he slit their throats before saying, "I stopped working for other organizations in my last life."

'Three down and two left.'

Lucas looked at the lying corpses on the ground before looking at Logan and Luna and muttered to himself.

To avoid future trouble, Lucas decided to kill everyone including Logan and Luna.
