Austin turned around and stared at the gray-colored egg. He was taken aback by what he saw.
He was surprised to see that his blood was flowing and penetrating into the egg shell slowly.
Since he was severely hurt, he spat out a large amount of blood. The blood loss was getting heavier and his wounds seemed to get severer.
While he was losing blood and was gravely injured, he was baffled that the gray-colored egg was absorbing his blood. As it took in the blood, its surface began dazzling. It was extremely strange.
As more and more blood got absorbed by that gray-colored egg, an obscure message appeared in Austin's Soul Sea.
It seemed like a living entity was trying to communicate something to him through his Soul Sea.
'Is this gray-colored egg alive?'
'Is there any life inside the egg?'
Austin was filled with these thoughts. Quite soon, he found that the obscure message had indeed come from the gray-colored egg.
Though he was able to receive it, he couldn't recognize the accurate meaning of the message.
He was totally confused. There was no way he could decipher the message.
The only option he had was to make a guess about the message and its meaning.
Something weird was happening which was beyond Austin's understanding.
"Watch out!"
Suddenly he heard the queen shout aloud. She was warning him about something because Austin's mind was engrossed in studying that gray-colored egg.
A growl was heard.
Hearing the growl, Austin turned around. He was shocked to see that the shadow of the demonic beast had come very close to him and was staring at him intensely.
Boom!
The next moment, the demonic beast's shadow raised one of its giant paws. It was about to hit Austin who was lying on the ground, all injured and bleeding.
The terrifying strength which the paw carried filled Austin with horror. He knew that even a warrior of the Holy Realm would find it both dangerous and difficult to resist such an attack. The impact it could have on a lesser warrior like himself, who had been badly injured, was something that would send shivers down the spine!
'Will I die here today?' thought Austin to himself.
The moment that thought struck him, his energy rose to a new level. He had to fight back at all costs.
"Bastard! Back off!" the queen cursed.
She was far more powerful than Austin. Luckily, she was less injured too. Seeing Austin in great danger, she clenched her teeth and stood up. She rushed forward to help Austin.
Yet, at the same time she also realized that it was an impossible task to save Austin from the demonic beast's shadow, because the enemy was just far too strong.
Since she had met Austin for the first time in the small alternate dimension, he had become one of the most important person for her.
She knew that she would go crazy if she did nothing and watched Austin being killed. She wouldn't be a silent spectator.
Evil energy surged and erupted from her body. Then, a gray evil god materialized. It ripped through the space and headed towards the demonic beast's shadow.
However, at the same moment, something weird happened.
It was really unexpected.
A gray light flashed across.
It happened so fast that no one could understand it.
The gray-colored egg jumped into the air and floated in front of Austin. Suddenly, it emitted a brilliant and gray light.
It snarled at the beast which was approaching towards Austin.
The beast instantly stopped mid-way.
The demonic beast's shadow was stunned. Surprisingly, it began to withdraw its claw back.
To his great surprise, Austin found the eyes of the demonic beast's shadow had turned soft and obedient.
Then, it raised another paw and touched the gray-colored egg gently.
The demonic beast's shadow was doing that in a motherly manner.
It looked like a kind mother who was patting her beloved child's head lovingly.
It was unbelievable!
On seeing the turn of events, even Austin was stunned.
The queen saw this strange situation. She stopped and stared at the shadow and the gray-colored egg in a daze.
Both Austin and the queen were confused at the scene before their eyes.
Suddenly, the gray-colored egg flew from its place. It landed on Austin's body and touched Austin's shoulder gently as if to convey that it bore no malice towards Austin.
