Chapter 1180: Acquiring Four Eggs
Author's Note: Unedited Chapter
"Haha, that may be the case but then we have to gather any color of Eggs we can find before Gustav's link," Aildris reminded E.E of the most important aspect after they had finished dealing with the creatures in the vicinity.
"Which way do we go from here?" E.E asked as he looked around.
All he could see was a long flat terrain of frost. Nothing could be spotted in the vicinity for miles.
"I think this place is an original location on the real map of the fourth disk. Look at those markings," Aildris called E.E attention to some engravings on the frosty ground a couple of feet south.
"I didn't check the map since Gustav said it would be switched," E.E replied.
"He did but he also said some locations might be remain original... we just might have spawned in one of them," Aildris pointed out.
"So are we heading south?" E.E questioned.
"No, we have to head north... we should find some lowlands in that direction which increases our chances of coming into contact with eggs," Aildris clarified.
E.E nodded and they began to head forward after the agreement.

"...this must be one of those points," Elevora stood before a ten feet tall machine with seven spherical shaped slots on its surface.
The machine had a hole atop it and was shaped to look similar to a funnel.
Elevora happened to have spawned very close to this which was a bit surprising to her.
"I need to gather some eggs first," She turned around while looking around.
She noticed she was currently on an unknown ice summit and right behind her were multiple holes on the icy mountain.
Elevora stepped forward and stopped in front of one of the holes which was large enough for two people to jump in.
The hole looked like an icy slide that led somewhere within the mountain. This made Elevora intrigued.
She turned around once more observe the vicinity and could only see white frosted mountains in the distance.
Elevora stepped forward after her inspection, dropping straight into the icy hole.
Sshshhsshshhhhsshh~
Her body slid down the icy opening as she found herself within a dimly lit space.

"Blue," Gustav squatted before a three feet tall egg.
He was within a dimly lit ice cave. All that could be seen in the vicinity were rough icy walls, displaying the reflection of the environment along with rays of light from small spaces above.
One could occasionalky spot cluster of icicles hanging from the cave ceiling as well as spotting some of them on the ground in specific areas within the cave.
"I'll take this," Gustav picked up the blueish egg and tapped on his storage button.
Zing~
The egg disappeared and he turned to the side to carry the rest of the colored eggs in the vicinity.
In the next instant and he began walking forward.
("Do you intend to use the colored egg for what I think you will?") The system questioned.
"Most likely..." Gustav replied as he continued stepping forward while inspecting the environment.
He was well aware that eggs he took were not a part of the required eggs for creating a Viondur egg since they had a different color to what was expected.
However, he had his reasons for acquiring it.
Gustav senses had already spread across the entire cave so he knew the exact direction to head in so as to get more eggs.
However, it would seem he wasn't the only one who was aware of where the eggs were located within the cave.
Gustav could already see the figures ahead of him, heading in the same direction as he had in mind. The cave had multiple chambers and spaces.
It was easy for a person to get lost here since the paths below would lead to three separate areas at once, making it difficult for a person to pick which direction to head in.
Gustav on the other hand, had chosen the left, left and right entrances to different Chambers and for the last one, he was supposed to go left which would help him end up where another set of eggs were located.
Just as expected, the trio ahead of him, also went left. Gustav arrived a couple of feet away from the entrance to the next chamber and felt a presence awaken.
'I didn't sense that initially,' Gustav's eyebrows creased as he moved towards the side and focused his perception in the direction of the presence.
"Patik gilau slabitu venri labeshaba ori..."
The alien participants celebrated as they spotted the numerous eggs embedded in the northern part of the icy walls.
They couldn't hide their excitement as they saw the eggs bore the required colors for making a Viondur Egg.
"U'catiatca'c Tahilieu vavi labi saju..."
-"Let's get them out of the ice and mark this area so we can come back here,"
The participants with massive transparent wings, flew towards the eggs embeded in the icy walls.
Just as one of them placed their hands on an egg, a loud rumbling reverberated across the vicinity.
"Uuuuhhhuuu~" It was accompanied by a mighty roar that caused the cave to tremble immensely.
Ice fell from the ceiling area as the ground split open in some areas.
The participants were alarmed but before they could react, a massive furry head phased out of the ground and instantly ripped off one of them left arm.
"Kuuuuuhhhh!" The participant screamed in pain as green blood poured out of where his arm was initially situated.
He had been lucky enough to get the help of one of his teammates who flew with speed and dragged him away in time or his entire existence would have been swallowed up.
Thwooossshhh~ Gbbllllbblll~
As the cave rumbled intensely the presence that had been hidden underneath the ground floor of the cave, bursted forth with part of its body still hidden in the ice.
The entire place turned foggy in a matter of moments as the participants tried to leave a small distance between themselves and the creature.
It looked like a snake and a dragon without wings all at the same time but happened to be very massive and whitish. It looked like it was made out of frost.
One of the participants flapped their wings intensely, causing the fog to suddenly clear. However, the instant they did, they noticed the face of the creature was already right in front of them.
Fwwhiiii~
Fortunately, his figure blurred as the face of the creature flew past him while he appeared up to a hundred feet higher than his initial position.
Bang!
The creature slammed into another ice wall behind which just happened to be very close to where Gustav was hiding.
Chunks of ice blasted a across the vicinity as the walls came crumbling down. The entrance to the chamber became wider as well, revealing the presence of the person behind it.
"Huh?"
"Huhu?"
"Huh?"
The participants as well as the massive creature paused as they spotted Gustav with an unknown round floating object beside him which happened to be emitting a mysterious glow.
What made them pause wasn't his presence or the presence of the glowing object floating beside him...
What made them pause in their tracks was the Blue Egg in his grasp which turned into a Violet colored Egg right before their very eyes.
As their eyes darted towards the ice wall on the other end where the Eggs with the required colors were embedded, they noticed some of them had been replaced with a different color.
The blue Egg Gustav was holding onto a moment ago was right in the space where a Violet colored egg was initially and now the Violet colored egg was in Gustav's grasp.
"Hiii," Gustav voiced with an innocent tone as the egg disappeared into his storage button.
"Uuuuhhhuuu!!!" The creature roared with intensity as it charged at Gustav.
"Get him!" The participants yelled as well.
"Bye," Gustav said as he looked upwards.
[Lightning Blitz Has Been Activated]
Thrrriihhhhh~
His figure suddenly turned into a lightning streak as he blasted straight through the ceiling and dissappeared into the sky in an instant.
The creature missed Gustav by a few inches, causing it to roar more in anger. However, he was long gone.
It turned around after noticing the approach of the participants and lunged at them angrily. Gustav had left them to take the full brunt of his actions which had triggered the snake like creature to get even angrier.
Fwwhiiii~
Gustav figure began to fall from the sky once more after reaching a certain height. His figure had already repeatedly blasted through some floating ice on his way up.
He had to cancel Lightning blitz in the next moment he activated it but he already crossed more than a hundred thousand feet height before he could.
Gustav turned towards the south, "I've gotten four eggs now but I can't go back to that cave since what it has left are repetition of the same colors of eggs,"
