Chapter 1276 1276. Proud High Priest

Cracks covered the clear crystal egg that everyone was around. The high priest had backed himself away while Alice was right next to it. Onyx was constantly lowering his head and seemingly speaking to the hatchlings who could tell what was going on. The worry immediately melted away from Walker's mind. He wanted to kick himself for letting the stress get to him. He hadn't realized how worried he had been since he turned around to get everyone away from the giant earth ant colony that could have walked all over them.

"Alice! Use this. It will take all of your mana but it looks like we are just in time." Walker wasn't sure what had been happening lately to the egg but could see the broken light elemental crystals on the floor. He knew that Onyx and Alice had prepared a great many of them for while they were away but that still seemed to be too few.

'Heavenly serpent egg- (hatching)

The heavenly… the egg has reached an unprecedented absorption period due to the high purity of light elemental mana. The mix of personal elemental mana from a system user with high light elemental affinity has also mixed in spurring faster absorption. It is extremely possible for that specific system user to form an unbreakable bond with this heavenly serpent before they hatch.'

Scanning through the things he had already read before, Walker found the newer information and was not surprised at all. Alice had been singing to the heavenly serpent egg constantly before they had left for their journey to the ravine. That had more than distributed pure light elemental mana with her own mana mixed in. Having this miraculous effect on the egg was not what they were trying to do but was very welcome.

Since the high priest was there, Alice looked at him. She wanted to make sure that everything would be safe and sound while she used all of her mana and fell unconscious. She trusted Walker and Onyx but knew that they would care for the serpents and eggs for her. She needed her father right now and would lean on him fully. "Well go ahead. You will need to recover for the right moment when it hatches. It could be any time now. I've been here all morning." His warm smile said it all.

"Just open the scroll and channel your mana in to it. You should be perfectly safe. That's the original magical scroll made from my skill. I'll have a mana potion read for you too." With Walker and Onyx encouraging her too, Alice did exactly that. She slowly unrolled the magical scroll and took a deep breath. The reddish glow that came out next enveloped her body then condensed in to her hand. She moved as if guided by an unseen force and held it above the crack covered egg. A single drop of blood fell from her hand filled with her condensed mana. The drop melted in to the egg which pulsed with a single burst of light before more cracks formed.

The heavenly serpent egg seemed to feel that it had found the one that continuously provided it with light elemental mana. As Alice fell back and Walker caught her, the egg began to greedily pull more light elemental mana toward it. Walker only needed a glance to tell that it was preparing to break through the shell for its birth in to the world.

"Let's move it. Give me that mana potion. I fed this trouble maker as a baby and I can help her now." The high priest moved with a speed that Walker had yet to see from him. He was understandably beside himself seeing Alice pass out even though he knew it would happen. However, he knew just how much it would mean to Alice to see this little life in the world for the first time. He could tell that it was a moment he would treasure with her for the remainder of his life. If he could not make it happen then what kind of father would he be? Useless, he may be an adoptive father but that meant nothing. He and Alice were father and daughter and if the world itself fought them on it, he would have some words to say about it.

"I'll use tome healing magic too. That should get her body working a little better." The theory that using a healing skill on a person without mana would speed their mana replenishment speed was controversial. But if it helped then Walker would do it. He could also see the look in the high priests' eyes and knew if he sat there doing nothing then he would lose immense amounts of respect.

"Come on there, I know you're tired but you are pretty damn tough for a healer. Wake yourself up and see your hard work come to fruition. I know you can manage this." The whispers of encouragement made Walker and Onyx realize that they weren't looking at the high priest of the cathedral. A man known for healing many in his lifetime. For traveling to remote villages to help others. They were looking at someone with a full heart. Someone willing to put everything aside to give it all to another. The man that found a baby on the cathedral doorstep and the man before them were the same person just with a few more wrinkles.

' The world has recognized a user as deserving of the title; Altruistic Father. The user has shown the world a lifetime of kindness and willingness to put aside their own happiness for another regardless of the direct blood relation. The user in reference had built orphanages, saved thousands of children's lives, and raised a lost child as their very own. The world has only ever bestowed this title upon beings seventy three times due to strict worldly guidelines for qualifications beyond the chosen's blood. The user has been rewarded for a feat not seen in one hundred and fourteen years. The true hero stands as witness.'
