Chapter 38: Dowry
Chapter 38: Dowry
{Let’s just get rid of this problem first, I’m sure you also want to go back to where you came from, but now is your test time, I want to see all your abilities} Saying that the Qilin statue disappeared instantly.
I set up chains forming a wall behind me, the Qilin attacked me from behind using its flames. This time my chains didn’t melt, I tied the Qilin tightly. I made the chains gathered in my hands into thick, spiked whips.
As my chain almost hit it, the Qilin smiled, a golden transparent barrier surrounding it. The chain I used to attack, bounced very hard. The chain I used to bind it also broke.
{Your raw strength is not strong, but your clan’s ability is even stronger than that person, it seems you are half-blood, but… it looks like you can control that ability, I’m curious} The Qilin looks at me with a deep gaze.
I find it strange, hearing him say that if I don’t have [Berserk Charge]. I’ve become a killing machine, since the first time I used this skill.
From various directions, spiked chains attacked the golden barrier that protected the Qilin. The barrier started to crack, I saw these cracks, creating a spiked chain drill in my hand. A crimson red aura gathered, forming a drill tornado in my right hand. I thrust the drill into a crack in the barrier.
Instantly, the Barrier broke, just as I was about to strike straight, a golden-colored flame that I didn’t even know where it came from attacking me. This made me have to defend myself against the attack, looking at the Qilin Statue again. Around it was golden-colored flames surrounding him.
“What the hell? I remember it wasn’t there,” I was stunned to see the fire around the Qilin.
{You think I’ll just keep quiet when you attack my Barrier, you have to prepare for the worst situation if your enemy attacks suddenly. This is the basis of battle you know} The Qilin laughed.
Now that I feel like I’m being taught, I don’t know what else to say. The Qilin moved into the air and shot its flames at my collar. I, who couldn’t fly, just dodged and blocked Qilin’s attack with my chains.
Feeling this isn’t getting any better, this time I’m going to compress my chain into a ball. This is my first time trying, so I don’t know what will happen after that. Gathering everything I had into the ball in my hand. A chain ball with a crimson aura formed.
{Your chain looks weird, is it an item with a high rank?}
The more Qilin paid attention to my abilities, the more amazing he found.
Starting with me having a Partner, Clan Skill, and now a chain, which he also didn’t know, what chain it was.
“You’ll know when you see this,”
I’m feeling very confident, with a spiked chain ball in my hand right now. All of my mana gathered into a ball made of Thorny chains. My head is currently a little dizzy, from using up too much mana.
The qilin saw chain ball in my hand, he opened his eyes wide. He was very worried that the impact of the chain attack would hit the egg.
{Wait, don’t use it, it will hit the egg!!}
“Don’t worry, I can control it not to hit the egg,” I said and shot it at the Qilin.
“Explosion Chain”
I just named this Skill carelessly, because I didn’t know the name of this skill at all. The chain moved so fast, even the Qilin couldn’t dodge and hit him.
Upon hitting him, a terrifying chain explosion occurred, the chains shot out in various directions from the ball, shattering the pillars into rubble.
But none of the chains hit Egg, the chains seemed to protect it from the impact of an attack. I immediately fell to my knees, from running out of mana. Berserk’s skills also started to disappear, and my appearance returned to its original state.
The Qilin statue was now shattered, into rubble. But after that, debris gathered and formed a Qilin statue again. This time the Qilin didn’t attack, he just looked at me in amazement.
{Hahaha.. that’s great, your ability is great. I’ll let you take care of my daughter}
“Woli, give me a Normal Grade Mana Potion,”
[OK, Master]
So far I’ve only used Low Grade Potions, and they cost only 1,000 Battle Points. For a Normal Grade Mana Potion, it costs 5,000 Battle Points. What is certain is that effect far exceeds Low Mana Potion.
After seeing potion in my hand, I opened lid and drank all of its contents. I felt all mana in my body return, and tiredness in my body lessened. Heaving a sigh of relief, I looked at the Qilin.
{Since you have finished this exam, I will give you something, take this}
A light hits my hand, it’s a compass. The compass is golden in color and looks beautiful. I don’t know what this compass is used for.
“This compass, what is it used for?” I asked curiously.
{Our clan, is the Qilin race, you must know right, Qilin is a creature that brings good luck. And what you have in your hand is one of our family’s precious treasures, you can use that compass, to find valuable treasures that are around where you are. The pointer on the compass will vibrate, when the compass feels treasure, but if there is nothing around you, the Pointer will not vibrate at all}
I feel like I’ve just been given a dowry, does he really believe in letting me take care of his daughter? He didn’t look worried at all.
{Now last step you need to do is, give your mana to my daughter}
“Hah? Oh, that’s right.”
{I’m back to being the consciousness that guards this place, my daughter will wake up after you give her a lot of mana, but maybe she’ll sleep again after that. Since her body was still in a state of adjustment, after a long time, I stopped it from hatching. She will also mature very fast, as a result of me doing this, you don’t have to worry about her growth later}
It’s in the story, so this doesn’t matter at all to me. The Qilin turned into a golden light and disappeared after that, but its voice was still heard in the room.
{After this, I will take you to meet the girl, maybe this will be your last meeting with her, before you part with her, for some time}
‘Hah? What does he mean?’
I feel confused now, because I don’t understand what he’s saying. Putting all these thoughts aside, I’ll know what he’s saying later.
Come near the egg, I will now awaken the Qilin that is inside. My hand touched the egg, filling it with mana, my mana was slowly sucked into the egg. But as time went on, suction grew stronger, and all mana I currently had was gone in an instant.
