The World Serpent

Chapter 129 - 129-Aegis Awakening

In the Vast Grassland between the Occidental Region and the Korr Region of the Great Forest. All Forces of the Great Forest gathered together in a meeting. Most of the Great Rulers of such Forces stayed near the Gigantic Serpentine Head of Persia. They were talking to each other about the Problems of their Nations. Though, their talk got halted when the Giant Serpent started to form a Bone-chilling smirk. The Supremes, Spirit Lords, and Statera instantly felt the chilling smirk of the Giant Serpent known as Persia. 

"Is there something wrong with her?" Kitsune questioned while gazing at the Smirking Persia. Persia's smirk was a bit horrifying as the Soldiers of all nations started avoiding looking at the Serpentine Head of Persia. Statera slightly chuckled and looked at the Serpentine Head with an expression of curiosity. Statera wondered why Persia was smirking, but unfortunately, she couldn't interrupt Persia. 

"Maybe Persia heard a piece of Good news, which made her smirk?" Drya guessed as the Great Rulers around her nodded in agreement. Drya's guess might be correct. After all, a Bone-chilling Smirk could only mean a piece of Good news for the Serpent. While the Supremes were talking about Persia, Ego looked at the Serpentine Face of Persia. Ego released a slight smile as she could feel a familiar energy signature. 

'An Origin Skill? Two times in a row? As expected of Sister.' Ego couldn't help but release a nod of pride while thinking about the fact that Persia was about to gain a new Origin Skill. What kind of Origin Skill it was, was something Ego wanted to know. Though, the only thing she needed to do was to wait in patience. 

Persia's Gargantuan Body then started to illuminate with a Nostalgic Bright Light. It was the same light that recently enveloped Persia, Statera, and Ego. Statera instantly noticed the Bright Light and immediately understood the reason why Persia was smirking like a maniac. 'I see... I'd also do the same if I gain a new skill in a row.' Statera thought to herself while nodding in satisfaction. 

The Supremes and the Spirit Lords turned their gazed towards the Serpentine Body of Persia as they noticed a Bright Light slowly enveloping her body. They started backing away from the Gargantuan Body as they continued looking at it with slanted eyes. They were curious about what was happening with the Monstrous Body of Persia. 

"She's bringing a surprise once again." Koldreg couldn't help but shake his head. The New Supreme kept bringing new surprises one after another. He didn't know what to feel as he felt that the New Supreme growth rate was nothing before. 'It seems that I'm getting old.' Koldreg smirked as he nodded and understood his situation. Though, it was too late for him to say such words as he was already beyond a dozen thousand years in terms of age. 

The Glowing Body of Persia then started to release Silver Light Energy. The People around her body gazed upon it with their curiosity-ridden eyes. The Silver Light Energy started morphing as it took the shape of a Cocoon and surrounded the Gargantuan Serpentine Body. 

As the people around Peria's body hazed upon the Everglowing light, Persia started reading the Notifications that kept popping up after acquiring the Origin Skill. She was annoyed by them bombarding her mind, but most of them were good news, so she didn't mind them. After all, The Aegis Skill was activating itself after its acquisition.

[Origin Skill, Aegis Activating.]

[Creating a protective layer around the User's Body, Mind, and Soul.]

It seems that it wasn't only her body getting affected by the Origin Skill. Her Soul and Mind were also was illuminating as a Layer of Silver Light began to encompass them. Persia felt a warm feeling within herself. It was relaxing and peaceful though calm wouldn't be enough for Persia to drop her guard. She continued reading through the Notifications with curiosity on her face. 

[Protective layer created.]

[Foreign Object Detected.]

[Scanning...]

The new wave of Notifications made Persia furrow her eyebrows as it was familiar. She then instantly realized what the Notifications meant. Persia couldn't help but smile. After all, she had thought that she needed to find some ways to take it out. The Origin Skill taking it out was unexpected, but it was a welcome one. 

[Eternal Sword.]

[Status: Harmful.]

[Detection completed, Preparing for Foreign Object ejection.]

Persia's guess was correct. The Eternal Sword got detected by Aegis, which meant that Persia wouldn't have to find a way. The uncomfortable numb feeling was slowly getting taken out of Persia. She calmly waited for the ejection to be complete, which only lasted for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds, Persia was finally free from the Eternal's Sword influence. 

'That was fast.' Persia thought to herself. She never thought that achieving freedom after recently being shackled by the Sword would be extremely fast. But, it was a welcome surprise for Persia. She shook her head and closed the Notification Windows. She then opened her Skill Window as she was curious about what happened to her Skills.

'It took a lot.' Persia wryly smiled after seeing the current Skill Window in front of her. Her Resistance got taken out by half. All of them got eaten by one single Origin Skill. The Cost would probably make her cough out blood if she could. It might take a while to accept it, but the fact that the Defensive Origin Skill was Useful would make Persia forget about her loss. 

'Now that I think about it. I never really used my Special Skills that much. I need to start using them, especially when their applications could help me.' Persia nodded to herself as she would need to use them. Their applications were high, so not using the skills would be foolish. 

'What about the Attributes?' Persia was curious about her Attributes, so she willed the System to open the Attribute Window. It took time, but the Attribute Window appeared in front of her. It seemed that something within it changed after the awakening of the Origin Skill.

'What the...' Persia couldn't believe what she was seeing. How the hell did her Defense Attribute increase by 5x. Seeing such a result made Persia forget about her loss. Her Defense was extremely high as she might even get named as the Indestructible Serpent. A bad name it was but a good description for herself. 

  Outside, Persia's mind. The Silver Light that encompassed her body slowly faded. Everyone looked at the Gargantuan Body, which got replaced by an Illuminating Dark Light. It seemed that something was about to happen. They waited patiently as the Dark Light engulfed Persia's Body and illuminated everything. 

Its light rivaled a thousand suns despite being dark. Everyone couldn't help but cover their eyes with their hands as the Dark Light illuminated everything. After seconds passed by, The Dark Light faded as the people finally regained their sight. They looked towards where the Gargantuan Body of Persia got seen but after turning their gaze towards it. They couldn't find anything other than a Silver Smoke.

The Silver Smoke expanded and faded within the Heavens and on the Earth. The people looked at the Field below it with curiosity. Looking upon the Field, they finally saw a Humanoid Figure within it. It was a Beauty with an Ancient Demonic Horn on her Forehead. Her Silver White Hair fluttered through the Air as her Golden Amber Eyes shone with dominance. She was carrying a sword commonly known as the Eternal Sword. The Sword that recently struck her body.   

"My, I'm finally back. That took time." Persia released a devilish smile while holding the Eternal Sword under her Pale Arms. As her Silver White Hair fluttered through the breeze of wind, created by her Distransformation. She calmly stood as everyone gazed at the Master of the Inquisition and the Demon Lord of the New Demon Race.

The Soldiers around her looked at her with a shocked expression. After all, They couldn't believe that the Gargantuan Serpent was a Beauty.. The Supremes, on the other hand, finally had a good look at Persia.
