Inventors system - Chapter 72: Warlord 4
While the trio was still pondering how to help her, Morana was assaulted by the flashes of pictures, memory, and information.
She saw a young maiden, then a pregnant woman and lastly she saw an old woman. As her head was filled with new information one sentence was louder than everything else.
‘Accept Hecate’s legacy.’
She heard these words over and over again as she felt her body transform. She suddenly felt a long-lost sharp pain in her eyes as they hurt like hell, but Morana wasn’t scared. Instead, she became more and more excited as she understood what she gained.
Her transformation took a total of 12 hours, scaring the shit out of the guys, but once they noticed that her vitals were fine and she wasn’t in any danger they relaxed a bit and kept watch for the night.
And suddenly a pair of beautiful eyes opened. The guys notice the change right away as one of her once beautiful golden eye was now green.
Her skin was whiter, and her hair became even redder, her features couldn’t be described as anything but perfect, and for some reason, she had this mysterious green halo around her that was barely noticeable but put a pressure on people. Like they were committing a crime by even looking at her.
After the transformation, the first thing that Morana did was not to explain her transformation but to check her status.

Right away after seeing her stats, Morana noticed a new affinity she gained, Necromancy as well as raise in her attributes
She knew this power came from Hecate whose bloodline she triggered, but for some reason, Morana felt like it wasn’t all she’s gained and as if to confirm her hunch she felt some kind of vibration coming from her space.
[Master quickly you need to take that egg out as it is about to hatch.]
Jolly’s words reminded her of the egg she took from Victor’s lab. Later she just left it in her space and completely forgot about it until now.
When Zoel, Samael, and Shio didn’t get any reaction From Morana they once again became worried, but Morana didn’t give them any chance to ask questions as she took out a pure white egg with a bright red dot and managed to leave them truly speechless once again.
The Moment egg was taken out it started cracking and shaking, the group felt an ominous presence from it and instantly became vigilant.
Finally, after the egg was hatched and out of it came a small white snake with a red ruby embedded in it.
From the start, its gaze never left Morana as it started quickly advancing towards her. Morana felt no hostility from the small snake, on the contrary, she felt as if she met her long-lost friend.
The snake curled ıts body on her hand and started actıng cute. Its brıght red eyes were lookıng at her wıth pıty and favor and Morana knew rıght away what ıt wanted.
It wanted to contract Morana and sınce she also had nothıng agaınst ıt, Morana dıd just that.
“I shall name you Ruby.”
And Just as the snake’s eyes sparkled Morana heard a clear, childish female voice.
“Thank you, master.”
After getting what she wanted Ruby turned back to where her egg’s shell was and started eating it.
While Ruby was eating her egg Morana decided to check her contract affinity she got after contracting Ruby.
[Contract affinity:
Ice: 93% (Red)
Hypnosis: 97% (Orange)]
It could be seen right away that Ruby’s bloodline was more special than Orion’s. So, Morana decided to also check Ruby’s status.
[NAME: Ruby
AGE: 10 minutes
GENDER: Female
RACE: Nameless Limbo snake (royalty)
LEVEL: 1
Affinity:
Hypnosis: 97% (Orange)
telekinesis: 85 % (orange)]
While on it Morana also checked Samael’s loyalty that has now risen to 85%, which was a major change from where they started.
But the surprises were not over just yet.
Finally, after calming down Zoel started questioning Morana.
“What just happened? What’s with your eye?”
At first, Morana didn’t make any sound, just looked at Zoel and just as he lost any hope of getting something out of her mouth, Morana spoke.
“I can see again.”
BOOOOM
Not only Zoel and Shio even Samael couldn’t react to this news, they felt excitement, happiness but they were also puzzled.
They tacitly didn’t ask any more questions after all, she was more than okay and that was the only thing that mattered.
After discussing their next moves the group once again started moving toward their destination.
Thankfully, with the help of Samael and Morana’s improved strength, they managed to travel without any more casualties and soon met up with Sophia and Zoel when they were surrounded by demons.
Surprisingly even in the face of the enemy, these two love birds still continued their little quarrel.
“Sh*t Zoel. Maybe, next time when someone tells you to go right you could… I don’t know, listen, and go right.” Screamed Sophia in anger as she took out all her rage on poor demons, cutting them one by one.
“I did go RIGHT. It’s not my fault that your right and mine were not the same.” Rebutted Zoel.
Seeing the situation, no one wanted to get in the middle of the two so everyone just tacitly retreated and left the stage for the couple.
Not too far away They also found Emir and Sara, who were also having their share of lovey-dovey moments.
As the injured Emir stood in front of Sara taunting the demons and advertising his heroic posture, while Sara stood behind him with teary eyes and greatly moved expression.
“I will protect you no matter what.” Said Emir as he looked at Sara.
“Big brother Emir you…” Tears fell from Sara’s eyes.
As the demons charged at them Emir also rushed forward with a roar only to have his heroic dead punched out the next second as he lay behind Sara half-conscious.
Seeing his state Sara’s eyes quickly turned red as she looked at her enemies and started slaughtering them one by one.
Meanwhile, the group that witnessed all of this could only have one thought:
‘Why are we even here?’
So, they were once again united and started their journey towards Gagra.
It took them a 3 days journey to get their first glimpse of the city. They weren’t the only ones arriving here.
The city was clearly getting ready for a big battle and was recruiting any human survivors.
Their momentum didn’t go unnoticed in the eyes of the higher-ups of the city, so, It wasn’t much trouble for them to join the army against the demons.
They even managed to get a seat at the meeting, but all of this wasn’t important to Morana who just now finished making a new lollipop with white chocolate and rainbow green tea flavor.
So, while the whole city was painstakingly making weapons to defeat the demons Morana was making her snacks.
The higher-ups were expecting the demon army in three days’ time so, the vigilance was at its peak.
On the first day, nothing happened and the city continued its preparations.
The second day, nothing happened again but this time Morana felt ominous premonition.
And sure enough her ‘Seer’ ability activated itself and she knew it was going to be a long battle.
She quickly stood up from her bed and went to find Zoel and Ezra who were discussing things with the citylord of Gagra.
When she barged into the room, the guards barely managed to react and pointed their weapons at her.
There were a few other men and women in the room except the citylord and her companions.
“Who let this kid in? We are discussing serious matters here.” Said a middle-aged man with an annoyed face.
Morana directly ignored the man and started moving forward. This only annoyed the man even more, of course, Morana couldn’t care less.
“Hey, kid. Did you hear me? This isn’t where you can just walk in as you wish.” Said the same man.
Morana wasn’t bothered by his hostility and looked at Zoel.
“They will attack tonight.”
Her words succeeded in attracting everyone’s attention.
