Chapter 327: An Emergency!?
....
BZZZTT!
Azmond's black and gold katana started to shake.
"Mhmu! Mhmu!" 'Ghost lady gives good food!'
It seemed like Emu agreed with him on getting back to them.
And it looked like neither of them would have to wait long, as the clean-up had already commenced!
WIGGLE!
Emu grew to disproportionate sizes before it split up into hundreds of black tendrils and devoured the rest of the corpses of the fallen High-Rank Monster Kings.
CHOMP! CHOMP!
Emu made quick work of all their dead bodies before it turned its glittery eyes in Azmond's direction.
Emu seemed to understand that it wasn't the only one that got stronger after it devoured the existence of the organisms it consumed.
"Hmm?" Azmond looked toward Emu's expectant gaze before he said, "Thank you, little buddy."
And that was all it took for Emu to have a positively splendiferous reaction!
"Mhmu! Mhmu!"
Emu's squeaks were followed by an immense golden aura being released from it as it nearly covered everything within a ten thousand mile radius!
WAAAA!!
It blazed and fluctuated in the sky!
However, before it could get too out of hand, a soft palm came crashing down on Emu's head!
*Pat Pat*
Following such a devastating attack, Azmond said, "You really like to go overboard with your enjoyment, huh, Emu?"
His voice echoed out in an exasperated tone as he looked at the terrified looks on all the Monster Queen's faces sitting in the black dome with him.
Even Spiritflame and the gazellekin were trembling in the corner upon feeling an aura even more powerful than some of the Nine Monster Emperor's.
However, all it took was a hand movement by Azmond, and...
SWISH!
A warm green aura was released from his palm as it spread throughout everybody in the black dome, subsequently causing their fearful looks to turn into soothed and calm expressions.
Following such a group calming ceremony, Azmond's voice echoed out in a soft tone as he said, "No need to worry; that was just my sword."
"..." "..." "..."
Even the Monster Queen's became speechless after hearing what the source for such an extreme aurawell into the Tribulation Transcendence Realmwas.
But it looked like everybody wasn't stunned speechless as Ember climbed further up Azmond's lap before she said, "What kind of sword do you have that it can release an aura of its own?"
Her gaze traveled around the chiseled muscles of Azmond before she saw the miniaturized version of Emu's 'Quantum Katana Flux Form' on his back.
The katana was only around 3 feet long, but Ember could feel something indescribable being emitted from it!
"It's gorgeous" She mumbled with a slightly entranced expression.
BZZZTT!!
Emu seemed to appreciate such praise as it started to vibrate once again.
"Emu is special to me," Azmond said with his kind eyes locked onto his katana.
He may not show it much, but if there was one being that always had his back, then it was Emu.
And that wasn't to mention that a lot of his power came from the assistance of Emu, so if anyone deserved his kindness, then it was definitely going to be Emu!
"Mhmu Mhmu?"
Emu had never received so much attention in its life, but it wouldn't deny that it felt good to have so many eyes on it!
"So its name is Emu?" Ember asked with a curious gaze.
She had heard of people naming their swords before; however, she had never met a sword fanatic who named their sword such an exotic name.
"How did you come up with the name?" She asked, her curiosity having been piqued.
"Well I named Emu Emu, because that's the sound that Emu makes," Azmond replied with an awkward expression.
He wasn't one to get embarrassed over things, but his naming sense when it came to Emu was quite simple-minded now that he looked back on it.
But would he change Emu's name because of that?
Nah.
Emu liked its name, and everyone else liked it as well, so he felt no need to 'fix' something that wasn't broken to begin with.
-
"A sound it makes?"
Ember wasn't following. She had heard no such sound the entire time she had known the Reaper.
Azmond looked at the intense curiosity in everyone's eyes as he figured it wouldn't hurt him to tell them of Emu, so he said, "Yeah, watch this."
Following his words, Emu started to wiggle and squirm in its katana form before it jumped up into the air and landed on the hard black surface!
"This is Emu," Azmond announced.
Emu bobbed around the interior of the black dome, looking at all the new 'not-meals'.
Meanwhile, the Monster Queen's and the two Kings were going through a maelstrom of emotions upon seeing the true form of Azmond's sword.
"A slime!?" They all exclaimed with shocked expressions.
Not a single one of them had ever heard of a slime that was capable of morphing into a weapon, much less releasing an aura in the Tribulation Transcendence Realm!
"How can a slime be so strong?" The snakekin Monster Queen asked.
And she wasn't the only one, as all the other Monster Queens chimed in with their own quandaries, but Azmond simply looked at them all before he responded, "That's because Emu is Emu!"
The whole crowd went silent after hearing such a nonsensical response.
But their thoughts were interrupted not long after as Azmond looked out the large hole in the black dome before he mumbled, "They are eating without me"
The aura inside the black dome became a little gloomy as his expression turned a little melancholic.
"??" "??" "??"
None of the Monster Queen's knew what was going on, but they assumed that it was likely nothing good when they saw the look on Azmond's face.
However, Ember, on the other hand, decided to do something a little bold as she wrapped her slender arms around his neck before she whispered, "An emergency?"
"Mhmm This is an emergency," he replied in a tone of urgency.
He completely ignored the wanton moves made by Ember as he looked toward the city below with his divine sense and saw Calista and Boundless dining at the restaurant they were supposed to eat at together!
