Amon, The Legendary Overlord
-
chapter-262
The next day, Amon showed significant improvement. Unlike the previous day, his face displayed the vigor of a young man full of energy.
Although he was not completely recovered yet, Amon was already able to get out of bed and perform basic activities.
And, around midday, Bianca reappeared after having been absent for a while, bringing with her two eggs the size of large ripe watermelons.
Amon and the girls' curiosity was immediately sparked by this sight.
"Mom, this is..."Before Barbara could finish her question, Bianca tossed an egg into the air, cut Barbara's finger, and made her catch the falling egg with her hands, causing Barbara's blood to come into contact with the eggshell.
The egg began to glow as soon as it came into contact with Barbara's blood. Then, Bianca repeated the same action with Amon.
Amon didn't even have time to resist, and his reaction was even slower than Barbara's. However, when his blood came into contact with the eggshell, the egg also started to glow, but even more intensely.
A look of surprise crossed Bianca's eyes, but she quickly disguised it and displayed a smile. 'As expected...'
At this moment, the person most familiar with this process was Mabel. She didn't seem as surprised as the others.
Before anyone could question what was happening, Bianca revealed: "These are twin eggs. The mother of the eggs was an eagle mutation with the power of an almost Grandmaster."
This revelation brought surprise and shock to everyone.Mabel was particularly taken aback by the revelation. She also nurtured the desire to obtain an egg of a flying beast. It would be convenient if it was a large creature that could serve as transportation and even assist in combat. And what Bianca brought was not just one, but two eggs of a creature with almost Grandmaster power. The revelation deeply shocked her.
Moreover, establishing a contract with a beast was something very difficult. Only those who had not yet been born and remained as eggs had a higher probability of allowing such a feat. But, even with the highest success rate, the value of these eggs was extremely high.
If she was not mistaken, these eggs should be worth more than 50 million CPs.
'She must really love Amon and Barbara,' Mabel thought to herself.
However, a question lingered in her mind. Why would Bianca choose to do this just now? I mean, Amon was still recovering, wouldn't it be risky to perform this action at this moment?
Bianca seemed to perceive her concerns, and with a reassuring smile, she said while looking at everyone, until her gaze landed on Amon and Barbara: "Forming a contract with a pet will bring some benefits upon success. And don't be mistaken, being powerful does not increase the chances of contract success. In some cases, this may be true, but most of the time, especially with avian beastly animals, the chance is greater for those who are still weak. Amon's current situation favors a higher probability of success."
Mabel furrowed her brow. She had never heard of this before. However, watching how the egg in Amon's hands glowed even more intensely than Barbara's and was already showing signs of cracking, she started to be convinced.
Everyone waited in silence. Despite the situation happening so suddenly, it was a unique and peculiar moment. From Mabel and Bianca's expressions, the importance of this contract was evident.
Simultaneously, a runic mark appeared on the back of Amon and Barbara's left hands, shining brightly. Barbara's was green, while Amon's displayed a vibrant red with a golden outline.
Minutes passed slowly, and the cracks in the eggs became increasingly visible until a small uncovered head emerged from each one.
The moment they began to emerge, a sharp and powerful cry, similar to that of a newborn eagle chick, echoed through the air.
A look of surprise appeared on the girls' faces, the twins even felt the need to retreat.
'How can it be so powerful at birth?'
That was the doubt that hovered over everyone.
The instant the eggs cracked completely, the shell transformed into energy particles, which immediately fused with the newborn chicks and the runic marks.
"It's a little hot..." Barbara murmured, feeling the mark on her hand heat up as if a hot iron was being pressed against her skin.
For Amon, the experience was different. Crackling lightning circled the runic mark as if wanting to electrocute him, but even injured, Amon didn't show discomfort. Instead, he raised an eyebrow in curiosity, observing the runic mark.
Quickly, the characteristics of the two eagles became evident. While Barbara's eagle displayed white and green hues, Amon's exhibited a golden coloring with intense red undertones.
In addition, strangely enough, they felt a sort of apprehension when looking at the small newborn eagle in Amon's hands.
'This feeling... It's the same I sometimes feel with Amon...' Ariel thought, reflecting on what she was feeling.
However, whether it was instinctual or not, the instant all the eggshells fused with the runic mark on Amon and Barbara's hands, the two small newborn eagles plunged directly toward the runic mark, promptly disappearing from everyone's view.
"What is this..." For many of them, it was unknown.
The contract with genetic beasts was not common and, even though it wasn't necessarily a secret, normally people didn't seek out this knowledge, as the chances of successfully establishing a contract with a genetic beast were very rare and complex.
The fact that Amon and Barbara had achieved success was a unique experience.
Even Bianca showed a hint of surprise but soon smiled with a loving look.
'It worked!' She thought.
Now, all the effort and investment she had made were worth it. Since Amon and Barbara had succeeded, this would open up countless possibilities so that, in the future, if something similar happened, they could avoid it by using the contracted beast to escape through the sky.
While it was possible to fly after reaching a certain level of genetic power, nothing compared to the mastery and speed of flight of an avian beast. Hardly anyone would be able to compete on the same level in terms of speed with an avian beast.
