The Birth of the Black Death God (Remake)
Ch. 31
[MIND'S EYE] is a skill with a rarity of “Steps/Rare”. This skill had the ability to see the status boards belonging to other people he did not know nor knew.
This skill does not require permission from someone. You just need to activate it, and you will be able to see the status boards of others, and steal all the information about their levels, jobs, and skills. There is nothing you can hide from this skill, everything will be revealed by it even if you take the trouble to hide it.
Status boards are information that everyone in the world has. And that status board can only be seen by themselves, and others even if it is directly blood-related will not be able to see it.
Unless the owner of the status board allows it, and shows his own status board. To be sure, the status board can only be seen by yourself.
However, [MIND'S EYE] was a big deal for them. It is very harmful if used in the wrong way. If one wants to make a profit by using
[MIND'S EYE], then he only needs to sell the personal data of others he has copied. It would definitely be very profitable, and make a lot of money.
To counteract the [MIND'S EYE] skill or minimize the information that is leaked due to someone's [MIND'S EYE] skill.
One must have a higher level at least ten levels higher than the owner of the [MIND'S EYE] skill. In addition to levels, Stat Intelligence can also affect [MIND'S EYE] skills. The higher a person's Stat Intelligence, the less information one can get. High Stat Intelligence serves to hide the skills possessed by someone from the owner of the skill [MIND'S EYE].
Besides those two. There was also a skill that could render the [MIND'S EYE] Skill useless. The skill was named [Mental Barrier], a skill that could strengthen one's mentality. And can protect the status board safely. However, this skill is very rare, only high-class adventurers usually have it, and the difficult part is because of the scarcity of skills that are not easy to get just like that. Besides being able to safely protect the status board [Mental Barrier] also provided magical, illusory, and psychological attack resistance.
The item is also one of the best choices. But, obviously the item is very step. One of the best types of items it is the Petata Ring is a good example.
Airis understood why her master did not want to reveal that. If others found out that his master had a [MIND'S EYE] skill that could see the status boards of others, the information would definitely quickly spread out, and it would cause trouble for his master. Because when it spread, maybe what he would face was no longer ordinary adventurers, but noble families, or other big names.
Xi sat down on the chair next to him. While taking out a stone he got from the black rose auction house he placed it on the table.
Mina and Airis approached to see it more clearly. However, want to see from any side, it clearly looks just ordinary stone and no special at all.
Xi smiled and made Mina, Airis confused.
‘What makes him smile like that?’
Their murmurs had no answer. It was impossible for the sky to suddenly shake and give them an answer. In fact, the sky may not even know it.
‘My hunch is right... There is a life in it. But unfortunately, he fell asleep inside due to the lack of Mana intake needed.’
Xi looked at Mina. He recalled that Mina had previously said she wanted a friend who could accompany her at this inn. So that he is no longer lonely when he lives alone.
“Mina, didn't you previously say you wanted a friend?” Xi asked for more details.
“?” Mina was confused by what Xi asked. However, as bright as he remembered that moment. “Iya, I remember that. What's wrong?”
“And now it looks like you'll get it even if it's not human.”
“Ha?” Mina was further confused by what Xi explained.
Xi brought the stone closer and asked Mina to do something. “Drip your blood on this stone.”
“Ha? What are you going to do with it?” Doubtful. It's getting weird and increasingly unclear.
“Tick it, and you'll know it as late as.” Xi convinced Mina.
Still hesitating. Seeing Xi who looks serious, Mina decided to trust Xi. All along, Xi had never done anything wrong, this time he asked for it, it was definitely for his good.
“Good..” Mina slashed the tip of her index finger with a knife. And let his blood drip on the stone.
Nothing happened even after Mina dripped her blood on the stone. Mina looked at Xi in confusion.
Xi pulled something out of his shirt. It was a medium-level Monster Core. The Monster Core he obtained from defeating the Elder Demon Snake in the Asgar forest.
Elder Demon Snake's Core contained a great deal of Mana within. And it's perfectly suited to this current situation. Given the life inside the stone requires a sufficient amount of Mana to hatch.
“Actually this stone is an egg from a Monster. Its appearance became like this because the moss that covered it hardened to look like stone. This original one is a Monster.” egg
“WHAT?!! EGG MONSTER?!” Mina and Airis shouted in shock in unison.
“Shhhh! Lower your voices. Or there will be others who will hear it..” Xi asked them to keep their voices down. This situation was extremely dangerous if there were others who were envious to hear it. It could lead to a troublesome fight and scramble. Xi was very upset because of their carelessness.
“Ma-forgive us..” Whispering and regret.
Breathe out. “Haaa, stop. Forgetit. Now let me focus on hatching it.”
Mina and Airis nodded. They will be quiet and just watching. If they make a sound, or make unnecessary movements, it may be able to disturb Xi's concentration. These are critical moments.
Xi started to move the Mana from the Monster core and started channeling it into the monster egg.
‘Because the species are both snakes, so which of the Core Elder Demon Snake is the most suitable one to help hatching.’
The monster was so lucky to meet Xi who was as bright as he realized it. Otherwise, in the next few days these eggs will die from the exhaustion of life-sustaining Mana within them. If the mana in this egg was depleted, then the monster encased in it would die from the lack of mana intake he received.
Mana is the nutrient most needed by monsters to produce offspring, or hatch eggs.
Without mana, it would be very difficult to produce offspring.
The mana stored within the monster cores was absorbed. And the core disappears into dust grains.
Shortly after the core disappeared, the egg suffered a shock and the origin of the power source came from within.
The surface of the egg shell cracked, and the hardened moss was as bright as a fade.
Mina and Airis were very excited.
“Come on little friend, you can definitely!”
“Fight even harder. A little more you'll make it.”
The words seemed to be a spirit for the creature inside the egg. And he rebelled, destroying the eggshell that had long locked him in a dark room. He crushed it from the inside, and made a large hole in the top surface of the egg.
From that hole, a small snake child as big as two fingers came out from there. The scales were shiny green, and it was clearly a new skin. Still very clean, shiny and beautiful.
Mina, Airis, and Xi were delighted with the birth of the little snake.
“Good little guy, you made it!” Mina excitedly grabbed him and hugged him in the face happily.
Satisfied hugging and caressing it. Mina again put the snake child on the table. And asked Xi what kind of monster the snake boy was.
“Xi, do you know about this monster?”
In that case, Xi's knowledge of this world was not much. Obviously he doesn't know. However, thanks to a system that always helps him, Xi became a little aware of the information about the snake child. Xi explained to Mina about the snake child as he knew from the system.
“I don't know for sure, but I think this snake is the Giant Snake Steel Fang. A monster that when grown up could grow up to thirty meters in length. And also monsters whose predicate is the same or even higher than Demon Snake in the forest.”
“It's great?”
“hmmm~ I don't know for sure, because this is the first time I've seen it. I only know that because I read. But at least, if you take good care of him, this snake will be useful for you in the future.”
Mina nodded. After digesting Xi's words properly, she was shocked. “Ha? Me?”
Xi and Airis nodded.
Later, Airis slightly explained what she knew.
“This snake boy has contracted with you, so you must take care of him. I know you said that you were not an adventurer, and only the owner of this inn. However, the blood contract you have forged with him will not be lost even if you refuse it.”
“Ta-but... When..”
“Of course when you drip blood on it. Just then by utilizing your blood, my master activated his contract magic. So that the contract between you and the snake child is intertwined with each other.”
“It turns out you're sensitive too huh? Yeah, whatever. That's good for you Mina.”
“Ha? B-but, how do I hide it later? Wouldn't it be a problem if someone else... And and again I'm also not good at fighting.”
“Pacify yourself Mina, and try to see your palm.”
Heard that. Mina immediately looked at both of her palms. At first there was nothing strange, and it looked as mediocre as ever. But, for a moment he was able to notice something like a small magic circle in the palm of his right hand.
“I this..”
“it is contract magic. That way, want any size of this snake later, you can save it in there.”
Your contractor's creatures can deposit them into the [Room of Seal] of the contract you've been on. Whether it is a monster, or even the spirit of all the same will be stored in another place, called [Room of Seal]
To use the [Room of Seal] Xi taught Mina how to use it. Although Mina was not an adventurer, and her level was very low, Mina still had mana even though it was very little. With the amount of mana Mina had, it was enough to activate the magic of [Room of Seal].
After getting some advice from Xi, Mina started to give it a try. And it worked. Mina could store the Giant Snake Steel Fang into her [Room of Seal] space.
That way, Mina did not need to think about how to hide the Giant Snake Steel Fang so that it would not be known by other adventurers.
