In the underground palace in the ocean between the demon and human continents, the golden snake, that was no longer tiny, having grown to a ter long in size, suddenly shook and slowly opened its deep black eyes that shone with intelligence as it moved its scaly head and looked around.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
A mont later, its scales started cracking and falling to the side, and new and sturdier scales started growing. If soone could see it now, they would notice that two small legs that ended with five claws were also growing along with scaly wings on the upper part of its body.
After all the old scales had fallen off its body and new ones grew, they also started cracking and falling. Then again, new scales, more lustrous and robust than the previous ones, started growing. This cycle kept repeating itself, and only after nine days did it stop.
Now, on the platform covered with countless broken and intact golden scales, a five-ter-long, and over one ter thick, golden-scaled python was lying, looking majestic and exuding an oppressive aura.
Swoosh!
After it swept its gaze across the underground hall, it opened its mouth and sucked, causing all scales to fly into its mouth. It unfurled its wings that were as large as its body and flapped them with force.
Imdiately, its body was lifted off the platform, but then…
Thud!
It fell down with a thud.
The snake seed to frown and fell into thought for a few monts before it once again flapped its wings, and when it floated in the air, it didn't stop flapping the wings unlike before.
Shua! Shua! Swoosh!
Seeing it wasn't falling back, a glint of satisfaction flashed in its obsidian black eyes. A few monts later, it started flying around the chamber, its balance becoming increasingly stable and refined while its flying speed continued increasing.
Sa~ Sa~
It let out happy sounds before its gaze flickered to the ceiling above, and it flew up, ramming its scaly head with two small bumps on either side of it against the stone ceiling.
Bang!
Saaa~
The collision seed to disorient it, making it stagger in the air, but it also made it more ferocious. It flew down until its body was almost touching the platform. Then a golden glint flashed in its black eyes, and its scale started shining with a golden light.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
In the next mont, it flapped its wings strongly and shot upwards and ramd its head against the ceiling.
BOOM!
Crackle!
A sound bang echoed in the underground palace, and the ceiling gained a few cracks, which seed to have activated so formation that crackled, covering the ceiling in an incandescent light, seemingly trying to reinforce it, but because there was no longer a power source to fuel it, it dimd down a mont later.
Saaa~
The python revealed a victorious expression before it flew down. A mont later, it flew up again, a bit faster this ti, and ramd against the ceiling.
Bang!
More cracks appeared, which satisfied and motivated it.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
…
It continuously collided against the ceiling, each ti causing it to crack more.
A few hours later….
Bang!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
As it ramd into it again, the cracking sounds echoed before several stones started falling down.
The python stopped, watching it in satisfaction, but then it seed to realize the ceiling was going to fall on it, and a panicked glint flashed in its eyes before it flew down and coiled itself against the platform.
Boom!
Boom!!
BOOM!!!
A few monts later, the ceiling fell and water flooded the underground palace.
…
Fwoosh!
Swoosh!
A while later, the golden python, its scales slightly injured, flew out of the ocean and floated in the air. Then it looked at the vast sky above and ocean below before letting out a high-pitched, excited sound.
SAAAAA!!
It was finally free from that small space. It flew around happily for over half an hour, celebrating its freedom before it stopped and looked around, its gaze flickering in thought.
Then, a mont later, it looked in the direction of the human continent, looking excited and happy as though it had noticed sothing very important and flapped its wings, flying toward the human continent.
Swoosh!
…
25 days after he entered the training room, Max appeared in the transference hall and imdiately noticed there were more people in the hall compared to when he entered, and unlike then, most of them seed to be from the central plains.
Seeing this, he sighed in relief. If there were people coming in the war temple, it ant there was no big battle ongoing, and he wouldn't be forced to fight.
'Now, let's see…' He swept his gaze across the hall before looking at the entrance, and sure enough, he noticed so people from the Seidel family standing there with communication crystals in their hands, looking at him with dark looks on their faces.
Noticing this, his lips curled into a mocking smile. Just by their expression, he could tell their new backer—Oliver—wasn't treating them like they must have expected.
Calmly, he stepped out of the teleportation formation and walked toward the exit. He knew that woman and Oliver must be rushing over, trying to fra him, but he wasn't worried. Instead, he was waiting for them.
'You want to play, huh? Let's play then.' He thought, his eyes gleaming.
Right when he reached the exit of the hall, the Seidel female king mage arrived and imdiately rushed toward him.
Swoosh!
Max ignored her and instead looked behind her, noticing Oliver and so other people from the Ice Sovereign Mountain. He then released his bloodline sense, wanting to see if Julius was also nearby but didn't notice any emperor's presence. 'Hmm? So, I can't sense emperors with my bloodline sense.' He thought, knowing Julius or so other emperor from the Ice Sovereign Mountain must be here to carry out justice after the fight broke out. And even if they weren't here, Wyomin definitely was, but he wasn't able to sense her presence either.
The Seidel king mage's—Zenovia'a—eyes narrowed when she saw his complete disregard.
'You'll regret it, you little bastard!' She thought. And appearing in front of him, without hesitation, she covered his fist with her mana and bloodline energy and punched him in the chest.
She thought Max would dodge or defend, but to her surprise, he didn't, his hands still behind his back.
