Chapter 616 Newborn?
After using his experimental Scepter of Darkness and Chaos, the Space Piranhas had been annihilated. That was much easier than expected. Finding the materials to recreate the Scepter was not exactly easy because the deposits of the ores and high-quality onyx were pretty small, but that was only the smallest problem.
Only the best blacksmiths could handle the ores and work with the high-quality Onyx without damaging or destroying it. That was also why Nial had only a few experimental newly created runic armaments. They were his best masterpieces and also the runic armaments that required most of his time and care. Filling their mana storage runic constellations took also quite a while because the transfer had to be slow and constant to make sure that nothing bad could happen.
Putting the loss of one broken runic armament aside, Nial found himself levitating in front of the armored serpentine beast. He was not exactly sure what it was, or what to do with it.
He instinctively helped it, thinking that it was related to his Grasp of Eclipse movement technique in some ways. However, that was not something he could test, or find out if the beast were to die. That was exactly what was about to happen. The armored serpentine beast was dying and Nial only knew one way to rescue it.
'It has been quite a while since I summoned, let alone created a Devil. Looks like it's time to devilize a beast in need, again,' Nial just thought. He landed in front of the beast and touched its head. The beast stared at him, issuing various noises as if it was trying to tell him something.
"I can turn you into a Devil if you want to survive. However, you would be bound to me until you die, and you would die if I die. You will never be able to disregard my orders. Is that fine with you?" Nial asked in several languages to make sure that the armored serpentine beast could understand him.
? The beast turned quiet and it didn't move for nearly a minute. Nial almost suspected that the beast died, if not for the energy tha circulated through its body. Despite being a Keltia-ranked beast, Nial was pretty sure that it possessed close to five times more mana than any other beast at the beast's rank. That was quite impressive, and it was certainly something Nial took into consideration when offering the beast to devilize it.
It would also be quite problematic if the armored serpentine beast died because that would decrease the beast's value when it comes to researching it. This was even more true because Nial had to find some kind of beast researcher to find out more about this kind of species. After all, there were no logs about this kind of beast in the encyclopedia of beasts provided by the Demihumans.
If he recalled correctly, all beasts in the Meteorfield were recorded in the encyclopedia no matter how few and useless the information were. As long as they were facts from people whose words one could believe, their record would have been written down in the encyclopedia. There was also a trust-factor rating of the trustworthiness of each report in the encyclopedia, which made it easier to determine whether someone exaggerated something or not.
There were even reports about the Origin Leviathan, though most of them were not to be trusted. Those who survived after encountering the Origin Leviathan either took their own lives or lost their sanity after a while, thinking that the Origin Leviathan was hunting them.
Interestingly enough, the Origin Leviathan had never left the Meteorfield before. It was a ginormous existence according to all reports, tens if not hundreds of kilometers in length, yet it could easily move everywhere. Apparently, entire planets simply passed through it as if the Origin Leviathan was not a corporeal existence.
Nial was skeptical about all of those things and he would rather let a professional take a look at the armored serpentine beast. Of course, it would have to survive first, otherwise, he would never get to know about the weird feeling he had. The beast seemed to have been used as a reference when Damian created the Grasp of Eclipse movement technique. At least that was what Nial guessed right now.
He visualized the armored serpentine beast that nodded its head weakly, agreeing to be saved through the Devilization. That made things a lot easier as it was a hassle to forcefully devilize a being. That was something Nial knew from Damian's memories. It was truly a hassle to force an existence into being devilized, though it worked somewhat decently, which one could clearly tell from Dexter's behavior.
He was one of the beings forced to become Damian's Devils.
Unleashing the entire dark energy that had been accumulated inside his Heart of Darkness, and the vast majority of his Darkness Essence at the same time, Nial injected it into the armored serpentine monster. He activated the Vortex of Abyss technique to absorb the surrounding Mana, and turn it into purified dark energy which would then be either used to create his darkness domain to accelerate the speed with which he absorbed the surrounding mana, or he injected it into the humongous body of the armored serpentine beast.
It was actually close to four kilometers in length and its height and width were comparable for a few-story tall building in each factor. It was a humongous existence, yet Nial could tell quite early on that various organs of the beast were deformed and that some things didn't really make sense.
His dark energy shrouded the entire armored serpentine beast like a cocoon which gave Nial the opportunity to scan the body of the beast from inside out.
However, what he found out was quite confusing.
'Is that just a…fetus?' Nial wondered at one point, 'Or are you just a deformed youngling with a bunch of genetic defects?'
