Chapter 76
For a long while, Michelle thought about where she could put the eggs so she could go break-mend the spatial bracelet, but she couldn’t think of anything. Feeling helpless, though she didn’t always want to depend on him, she went to the Archduke for help.
First, he asked her if she wanted the eggs to hatch quickly, or if she just wanted to store them away without harming them. When she said she just wanted to store them away, he gave her a strange box which could barely fit one of the eggs. But when she opened it, she saw endless space.
The Archduke explained to her that the box was a spatial artifact which could stretch and change in accordance with how many living things were inside. Originally, it was his spatial bracelet, but by break-mending it, he got the box. The best thing about its being a box was that, if he allowed it, others could access it too, so he could let Michelle borrow it without any problems.
Michelle thanked him and put the eggs into the box. When the Archduke saw how much of them she had, he was surprised, but didn’t ask anything since he could see that she was in a hurry to do something.
After putting away the eggs, Michelle left the box with the Archduke and went back to the fountain.
Seeing her beasts still lounging lazily on the side of the fountain, and Cold Flame resting on top of it, she smiled a bit. "Nyx, will you watch me as I break-mend the bracelet so I don’t mess up?" she asked as she sat next to Nyxaroth, who was in the shape of a black mist.
Nyxaroth turned into his human shape and watched Michelle as she took the spatial bracelet off her hand and put it on the ground. She then took the crystal half-sphere, placed it over the bracelet, and put her hand on the crystal. Slowly, she started enveloping the half-sphere with her spirit energy and then let it seep through the crystal towards the bracelet. There, she condensed a small speck of spirit energy, and a small explosion occurred, hitting the bracelet. The explosion was so small that it didn’t even hit the crystal half-sphere. But the bracelet had a small scratch on it.
So Michelle condensed a few more specks of spirit energy and let them explode, forming a small crack on the bracelet.
After about half an hour, instead of a bracelet, a few broken pieces lay on the ground, as Michelle put away the half-sphere. Michelle picked up the pieces and randomly aligned them into a circle before glancing at Nyxaroth. "Can it be like this?" she asked as he leaned over to look at what she had done.
