Chapter 100 - 85 Awakening, The Second Pet1 1
[Extra 5/10 for the Silver Alliance Rippling Spring Sounds]
“Xi Lu~”
In the deep darkness, Star takes one step at a time towards an unknown direction.
Confusion fills its deep purple-black eyes, looking around, but it sees nothing. Where is this…?
In the unknown darkness, it feels an inexplicable fear, but within the fear, it feels as if something is calling out to it.
“Xi Lu~”
A long whinny comes from the depths of the darkness.
Hearing that familiar sound, a spark returns to Star’s eyes.
That’s Father’s voice.
From a young age, it had always chased its father’s shadow. It has faith that it’s not mistaken about this voice.
Subconsciously, Star moves faster towards that direction.
Its steps get faster and faster, then it breaks into a run, putting all its strength into it.????????????????????????????? &
“Whoosh —”
A shrill wind gusts without warning in the darkness, and the wind, as if with consciousness, deliberately surrounds Star layer by layer, forcing its steps to slow down.
In the wild wind, Star’s mane is blown into a frenzy, its slender body shivers. It braces its four hooves on the ground and manages to stand firm.
The wind is intense.
Star stubbornly lifts its head, it seems to hear its father’s voice more clearly in the wind.
It wants to… hear it more clearly!
Star exerts all its strength and cautiously takes the first step forward.
Seemingly infuriated by Star’s provocation, the wind becomes even more violent.
“Clomp clomp-”
Unable to maintain its footing in the wind, Star is forced to go back a few steps.
At that moment, the wind dissolves into nothingness.
What also disappears is the sound of its father.
Standing in the same place, having lost hope, Star shows a look of despair.
Once again, it walks aimlessly into the distance.
“Xi Lu~”
Another familiar whinny came faintly from the other side.
Star’s eyes light up again.
This is the voice of a Flame horse, a young friend that grew up with Star in the base.
Recognizing the other’s voice, Star moves step by step towards it.
In the deep darkness, a ray of bright light suddenly appears.
That is the blaze reaching the sky, the terrifying heat forms violent heatwaves that rush at Star.
“Xi Lu!”
The voice of its comrade is clearer, located right in the center of the blaze.
Star takes step by step trying to get closer, but eventually resigns and retreats, leaving traces of charred blackness from the blaze on it.
As the flame disappears, the comrade’s voice also disappears along with it.
Star moves forward.
Thunder, Ocean, Rocky Mountain, Ice…
It has been called over and over again by familiar whinnies, experiencing various powerful forces, but in the end, it was shut out by them all.
In the end, Star stopped.
It heard no more whinnies, but ahead of it, a familiar figure was walking out of the darkness.
That was a black horse. Its strong physique imbued with an elegant temperament, and its black horn at the forehead was refined as if made of obsidian, shiny and translucent.
That’s its mother, Black Sky.
“Xi Lu~”
Exposed to the darkness for a long while and rejected over and over again, seeing its mother ignites Star’s emotions. It rushes forward, hoping to feel its mother’s warmth like before.
However, in the next moment, the figure of its mother is swallowed by the darkness.
In the world without light, Star is lost again.
“Xi Lu!!!”
Star frantically trots in place, spinning around.
Exhaustion strikes from the deepest part of its body. Having held itself together until now, Star suddenly feels so, so tired.
At that moment, a faint starlight tears through the darkness.
Then comes the second, and the third starlight.
Star, lifting its head, sees a night sky adorned with countless stars.
That’s the scenery it couldn’t be more familiar with.
It doesn’t remember when it first watched the night sky.
But from the first time it saw the night sky, it was attracted to a small, unnoticed star.
This star does not move with the other stars, its light is more dim than the other stars, making it stand out from the crowd.
But Star could relate itself to it.
They were so alike, both unique beings within their groups.
And now, Star sees it again.
Star keeps gazing at that single dim star in the sky until its sight starts to blur, and its consciousness starts to fade.
In a trance, it seems to see that dim star gradually brighten and fly towards it lying on its forehead.
“Is it over…”
Watching the colorful glow enveloping Star leave only one type of color, a sigh of regret emerges on Xu Ran’s face.
For some reason, despite each being an Awakening, Star took much more time than Ziyun to awaken. More than two hours passed, if it wasn’t for the System being reliable, he’ll almost think the Awakening had a problem.
“Looks like Star has awakened to the Dark Attribute.” Looking at Star shrouded in darkness, Xu Ran nods, “I wonder what kind of skills it will have.”
Opening his personal panel, he quickly found two Dark Attribute skills among the previously useless skills.
Two-star Dark Attribute skill, Nightfall.
This skill allows some Dark Attribute skills which require a dark environment to be used without restriction, it is a quite useful support skill.
One-star Dark Attribute skill, Dark Elemental Pearl.
This skill comes from the Dark Scale Dragon, it is a ranged attack skill, with low cost, weak power, and can be repeatedly used..
