Chapter 1266 The Gray-colored Egg''s Dependence
Austin turned around and stared at the gray-colored egg. He was taken aback by what he saw.
He was surprised to see that his blood was flowing and prating into the egg shell slowly.
Since he was severely hurt, he spat out arge amount of blood. The blood loss was getting heavier
and his wounds seemed to get severer.
While he was losing blood and was gravely injured, he was baffled that the gray-colored egg was
absorbing his blood. As it took in the blood, its surface began dazzling. It was extremely strange.
As more and more blood got absorbed by that gray-colored egg, an obscure message appeared in
Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
Austin''s Soul Sea.
It seemed like a living entity was trying tomunicate something to him through his Soul Sea.
''Is this gray-colored egg alive?''
''Is there any life inside the egg?''
Austin was filled with these thoughts. Quite soon, he found that the obscure message had indeede
from the gray-colored egg.
Though he was able to receive it, he couldn''t recognize the urate meaning of the message.
He was totally confused. There was no way he could decipher the message.
The only option he had was to make a guess about the message and its meaning.
Something weird was happening which was beyond Austin''s understanding.
"Watch out!"
Suddenly he heard the queen shout aloud. She was warning him about something because Austin''s
mind was engrossed in studying that gray-colored egg.
A growl was heard.
Hearing the growl, Austin turned around. He was shocked to see that the shadow of the demonic beast
hade very close to him and was staring at him intensely.
Boom!
The next moment, the demonic beast''s shadow raised one of its giant paws. It was about to hit Austin
who was lying on the ground, all injured and bleeding.
The terrifying strength which the paw carried filled Austin with horror. He knew that even a warrior of
the Holy Realm would find it both dangerous and difficult to resist such an attack. The impact it could
have on a lesser warrior like himself, who had been badly injured, was something that would send
shivers down the spine!
''Will I die here today?'' thought Austin to himself.
The moment that thought struck him, his energy rose to a new level. He had to fight back at all costs.
"Bastard! Back off!" the queen cursed.
She was far more powerful than Austin. Luckily, she was less injured too. Seeing Austin in great
danger, she clenched her teeth and stood up. She rushed forward to help Austin.
Yet, at the same time she also realized that it was an impossible task to save Austin from the demonic
beast''s shadow, because the enemy was just far too strong.
Since she had met Austin for the first time in the small alternate dimension, he had be one of the
most important person for her.
She knew that she would go crazy if she did nothing and watched Austin being killed. She wouldn''t be
a silent spectator.
Evil energy surged and erupted from her body. Then, a gray evil god materialized. It ripped through the
space and headed towards the demonic beast''s shadow.
However, at the same moment, something weird happened.
It was really unexpected.
A gray light shed across.
It happened so fast that no one could understand it.
The gray-colored egg jumped into the air and floated in front of Austin. Suddenly, it emitted a brilliant
and gray light.
It snarled at the beast which was approaching towards Austin.
The beast instantly stopped mid-way.
The demonic beast''s shadow was stunned. Surprisingly, it began to withdraw its w back.
To his great surprise, Austin found the eyes of the demonic beast''s shadow had turned soft and
obedient.
Then, it raised another paw and touched the gray-colored egg gently.
The demonic beast''s shadow was doing that in a motherly manner.
It looked like a kind mother who was patting her beloved child''s head lovingly.
It was unbelievable!
On seeing the turn of events, even Austin was stunned.
The queen saw this strange situation. She stopped and stared at the shadow and the gray-colored egg
in a daze.
Both Austin and the queen were confused at the scene before their eyes.
Suddenly, the gray-colored egg flew from its ce. Itnded on Austin''s body and touched Austin''s
shoulder gently as if to convey that it bore no malice towards Austin.
Meanwhile, the demonic beast''s shadow also kept staring at Austin closely and intensely. Austin had
no idea what it thought of him.
All throughout, something discouraged Austin from staring back or touching it lightly.
The formidable power of the demonic beast''s shadow was one of the mightiest things in the world.
Austin knew that it could act anytime and kill him easily.
Afraid of disturbing the demonic beast''s shadow, Austin kept his body still. He thought it safe to stay
unmoved.
Luckily, the demonic beast''s shadow did nothing that was dangerous for Austin. Rather it sighed with
relief. Strangely, its nces towards Austin became softer and kinder.
Austin felt that the gray-colored egg must have done something to convince the demonic beast that he
was a friend rather than an enemy. It could be the only reason why the demonic beast''s shadow was
not desperate to kill Austin anymore.
It made Austin more curious. He wondered why the gray-colored egg became so kind to him. Was it
because it absorbed his blood? Probably that was the reason why it tried tomunicate with him
through the Soul Sea!
Though all things happening around seemed weird to Austin, he sighed with relief and felt happy that
he wouldn''t have to die that day. For some unknown reason, he felt safe.
"What''s happening here?"
The queen sent a spiritual message to Austin by using the spiritual sense.
"No idea. But let''s not do anything stupid. I don''t think it will hurt us, for now,"
Austin replied trying to keep himself calm andposed.
"Violet and the gnome, do you have any idea of what''s happening here?"
Austin sent a spiritual message to Violet and the gnome who were living inside the Illusion Bead.
Under normal circumstances, both Violet and the gnome would keep practicing their martial arts in the
Illusion Bead.
Only in case of an emergency, Austin would wake them up. He always felt like they had his back
whenever he needed them.
This time, Austin knew nothing about the demonic beast''s shadow or the gray-colored egg. Therefore,
he had to reach out to Violet and the gnome.
Austin believed that demonic beasts like Violet and the gnome would have mastered more knowledge
with the passing of time. But he was wrong.
"I''m sorry, master. We have no idea where this demonic beast came from.
However, we do know that the demonic beast''s shadow is an imperfect beast soul, and some of its
memories have gone forever.
The gray-colored egg wasid before the demonic beast perished.
It is highly possible that a wisp of the demonic beast''s soul was left there to protect the gray-colored
egg,"
Violet whispered into Austin''s ears by using her spiritual sense.
A wisp of soul! That was it.
Austin was impressed by the fact that a wisp of the demonic beast''s broken soul could beat a warrior of
the Holy Realm.
''If the demonic beast was still alive, how terrifying its strength would be?'' Austin wondered in
amazement.
The cultivators of the Holy Realm were the most powerful beings to exist in the Prime Martial World.
They were second only to the great master of the Emperor Realm.
Austin was astonished when this fact became clear to him.
"Master, I am guessing that the gray-colored egg identally absorbed your blood and is now
somehow connected to you. So, it kind of relies upon you and trusts you,"
Violet said to Austin softly, trying to clear his doubts.
She had exined the situation clearly and easily.
Austin thought over and felt Violet was probably right about it.
"All right. Let''s go!"
Austin sent a spiritual message to the queen by using his spiritual sense. He felt now they could make
a move and escape.
Both of them felt that it would be too dangerous to stay there any longer.
Austin got up and walked out of the tform with the queen.
Both of them moved cautiously. They were concerned that in case that they made any noise, it would
disturb the demonic beast''s shadow.
They were not in a position to resist or defend themselves from another attack.
Seeing an opportunity, Austin tried to quietly walk away. However, before Austin could cross a small
distance, the gray-colored egg flew high and floated in front of Austin.
Austin was more than surprised to see the egg stopping him from leaving.
It seemed as if the egg didn''t want him to go.
Austin found it both funny and annoying. It was humorous to be followed and stopped by an egg. It was
like a baby pursuing someone it liked.
Although he knew that the egg had some good feelings towards him, it was a bad thing if it didn''t let
him go.
Eyeing the egg for a while, Austin felt that he was helpless. He turned around and walked in another
direction to get out of the tform.
At that moment, his safety was his top priority.
The same thing happened again. The gray-colored egg began to fly. It rushed and floated before Austin
again, blocking his way out. The egg was in no mood to let Austin move away from it. But why it was
doing so, nobody seemed to know!
