Chapter 779 - The Seed Awakens
[You have supplied mana to the Seed.]
Broken froze, his eyes locked onto the notification in front of him.
Like hell! The seed finally responded?!
But why now? He had tried this countless times before, even right here in the Moonlight Dimension, and nothing had happened.
Now, suddenly—it was working?
The progress bar ticked up to 1%, confirming that the Seed was developing. And if he kept at it, it would eventually hatch, bringing a new creature into existence.
Whatever it was.
But based on his experience with Pawpaw, one thing was certain—this was going to be a powerful addition to his forces. Whether it was Elaine, a reincarnation of her, or something entirely new, Broken knew one thing—
Elaine had been incredibly powerful in life. If this Seed carried even a fraction of her strength, then whatever hatched from it would be nothing short of extraordinary.
All he had to do was keep supplying mana. That should be simple enough. So, without hesitation, he channeled his mana into the Seed again.
But this time—
The notification that appeared was not what he expected.
[The Seed has begun to awaken, but it is not yours alone to nurture. It must be nourished by the one who walks beside you, bound by nature's embrace.]
Broken furrowed his brow as he read the new notification, trying to decipher its meaning. It was vague, yet strangely specific at the same time.
Why had the Seed only started responding now? He had tried countless times before, and nothing had happened. But then—A thought crossed his mind.
He had never attempted to supply mana again after his marriage to Alora. And now, the system message hinted at needing someone who walks beside him?!
Did that mean…? Did he need to nurture the Seed with his partner? With his wife?
Broken paused, thinking back to Pawpaw's egg—how it had required mana from specific individuals to hatch. At the time, the only person who met the requirements had been Alora.
And now—
It was happening again.
But there was a problem. Alora wasn't here. Which meant he had no choice but to wait until he returned to the capital. Who knew when that would be?

Sure, he could teleport back to the capital city of Dissidia Kingdom anytime. But doing so would mean traveling all the way back here afterward.
And without knowing whether the Seed would demand something else next, it wasn't worth the gamble. For now—he had to put this on hold.
Broken returned the Seed to his inventory, deciding to revisit the matter later.
For now, his focus shifted to the Tower Trial. Without wasting more time, he made his way to the trial grounds and soon found himself stepping into the next challenge—the 11th floor.
Time passed. Several attempts later…
He still hadn't achieved the results he wanted.
And now, he was once again outside the tower, standing in the open space where Cecilia awaited him with her usual gentle smile.
"You're doing great, Master." Her voice was calm, reassuring. "That was a lot better than before."
"Thanks, Cecil…" Broken exhaled, rolling his shoulders. "I know that, but it looks like I need to increase my training if I want to keep progressing through the tower. This is taking way too much time."
At his words, Cecilia's expression softened with concern.
"You have all the time in the world to complete your challenges. I will always be here to accompany you."
Broken chuckled, shaking his head.
With nothing else left to do in the Moonlight Dimension, he decided to log out of the area. And yeah—outside, it was already night, just like it had been inside the Moonlight Dimension moments ago.
He was back in the forest, standing in the same place where he had been before entering the Moonlight Dimension. Now, all he had to do was wait—SexyGrill would be logging in soon.
But then—
The same sensation hit him again.
A massive gust of wind tore through the forest, rattling the branches and even the massive trees around him.
Broken instantly recognized this. He knew what was coming. And just as expected—
The same monster.
A Wyvern.
Its wings beat furiously as it dove over the forest canopy, its sheer presence stirring the forest awake from its slumber.
Broken should hide and wait for it to leave. That's what he and SexyGrill had done last time. And it was exactly what she had recommended.
But this time—
He hesitated.
Because last time, he had regretted letting it go. A high-level, Epic-grade monster like this? Who wouldn't be tempted to take it down?
Still, SexyGrill's warning lingered in his mind—
The possibility that killing it could draw in more Wyverns. And the challenge of fighting it in midair? That wouldn't be easy either.
But then again—
If this Wyvern was going to keep circling this area, wouldn't it be better if he at least tested its strength first?
Just in case a situation arose where he had no choice but to fight it. Right? Yes. That was a perfectly reasonable excuse.
[Eternal Flame - Grim Reaper (Conditional Active Skill) activated]
Broken knew exactly what he needed to do. It had been a while since he last used this skill, but now was the perfect moment. The timing was ideal—night had already fallen, and this ability could only be activated under the moonlight.
An overpowered ability, indeed, though it came with certain limitations.
As shadows swallowed his body, he transformed into his Grim Reaper form, seamlessly merging into the surrounding darkness.
This form granted him a significant advantage—Along with it came a Legendary-grade weapon: The Soul Drainer.
Without hesitation, Broken wielded both the Golden Bow of Artemis and the scythe. He placed the scythe onto the bow, using it as an arrow, before beginning to charge his attack.
The greatest benefit of this combination? He didn't need to retrieve the weapon manually after firing. Once launched, it would return on its own, allowing him to fire, assess the damage, and retreat back into the shadows.
[Explosive Arrow (Active Skill) Lv. 6 activated]
At that moment, from behind him—A portal ripped open, revealing a towering figure. A massive Grim Reaper, several times larger than Broken, emerged, gripping an identical scythe in its skeletal hands.
Let's see…
Would this attack instantly kill the Wyvern?
