Chapter 232 - The Wyvern's Treasury

"Please follow me!" The horse galloped towards one of the walls.

"Oh wait! Let me take this egg first" I flickered next to the egg and stretched my hand out to touch it. It was then that it happened hundreds upon hundreds of golden runes began expanding from the location that I was about to touch, covering a portion of the egg in gold with gaps of white.

"What the-" I couldn't even finish my sentence before angular cyber-like tendrils expanded out of the egg in a 3-dimensional format rather than a 2-dimensional one. All the tendrils immediately stabbed into my hand before making golden runes expand along my arm all the way down to my shoulder and finally clustering around the base of the right side of my neck.

A surge of a sizzling scorching pain shot through my entire body, and due to the surprise of not expecting to feel such sudden pain, it caused me to fall onto one knee while gasping out in pain. 

I was quickly able to control myself, however, but as if I had no control over my body, I could not move my hand away from the egg. 

Without even realizing it, my hand had already touched the surface of the crystal white egg, making even more runes appear before finally covering the entire egg in intricate complex runes. 

It was only then that I had finally realized what was happening. I could feel an enormous portion of both my mana and soul energy being sucked out of my body like chocolate milk through a straw.

The runes began to expand even further down, finally reaching my mana heart and not even taking another second to reach my soul flame.

In dark void space, countless golden cyber tendrils cracked through the endless void and began to go towards the center, where a lonely purple candle-sized flame sat on a throne at the end of a throne room.

The throne room had no door, nor did it have any walls other than the portion of a wall behind the throne made out of purple-black crystals. The floor of the throne room expanded outwards with a red and black carpet which went to the other end of the room, which didn't really end.

Instead of there being a large double-doored entrance at the end of the throne room, instead, there was nothing but a floor that began to distort and break by the end of it. Countless purple particles and lights can be seen coming off the end while a few chunks of the throne room's ground floated in the abyss, yet not too far from the floor it hand come from. 

This was the case all around the room where not even the pillars that looked like they once held a roof up were spared from having small specks of purple lights coming from them while countless chunks of them floated above them.

The entire throne room, or what was left of it, looked like it had been ripped out of space and placed into this abyss.

The small candle-sized flame placed on the throne gradually expanded and vortexed into a humanoid figure that glowed with a vibrant violet.

"What are you doing?" The figure spoke as the vortex grew smaller and became an ethereal figure of a little girl with unimaginable detail that would put non-ethereal living creatures or things to shame with how detailed it had become.

The moment the girl's voice rang out, the golden tendrils that had now become a transparent white halted their movements towards the tiny and 'harmless' candle-sized flame.

Trying to slowly escape from the abyss, it quickly retracted almost left the abyss, yet it was a little too late. Actually, the moment it had entered the abyss, its fate had been sealed.

"You think you can enter my domain without consequences?" The little girl chucked before a cruel smile curled up the edged of her lips

"Well think again" The gild calmly thrust her palm forwards and watched as a purple-black dome expanded out of her palm. The next second, everything in the abyss had been dyed with mysterious violet color, even the transparent white tendrils that had invaded it.

The girl then walked back to her throne. She calmly sat down on her throne and shut her eyes while leaning back on it.

'I hope that I won't have to interfere again any time soon' She sighed

I gritted my teeth and tried to stand up, but it was of no use. It was not that I could not handle the pain, I actually think that the pain was mediocre at best. Instead, the real problem came with my ability to be able to stand up. My vitality had been almost completely robbed from me while my mana and soul energy had both almost been emptied.

However, in a shocking turn of events, my eyes flashed purple while my soul flame exploded from its meager and fragile state after being robbed of its energy, back it's prime or even bigger and stronger than it was before all my energy had been sucked. 

Yet, the biggest difference now was that my soul flame was no longer a glistening gold like before, but instead, it had become a magnificent violet laced with the darkness of a deep abyss that made it much more ominous than it would have been with the violet color alone.

[Contract creation had been terminated]

I watched at the once golden tendrils that had turned a transparent white slowly whither and shatter into dust while simultaneously becoming a vibrant violet color. This continued until the violet energy corrupted all the tendrils up to the base of them which was in reality, the egg.

The egg instantly had its golden runes flash and immediately become violet in color. In the same instance, I felt my vitality, mana, and soul energy all return to my body.

[New contract has been created!]

[Primordial Contract has been created between the host and the -Heavenly Feline-]

[Possessor of C("£$os title's effect "The host cannot become a slave" and "The host will not have their soul contaminated" have both activated simultaneously.]

[Primordial Contract has been determined to be a Master>Pet contract]

[Would you like to store the -Heavenly White Egg- within your soul space?]

'Yes' I answered without hesitation

[...]

Immediately, a purple light that was gradually turning golden again enveloped the white egg before distorting the space around it and making it stretch out, spin and disappear, as if a blackhole had formed in the middle of it.
