60 A MAID with Negative Karma? (Part I)

The black serpent looked at the large red screen before him. He sent his energy in form of a probe to check the vermilion surface and was shocked at what he was sensing: every single centimeter of that screen was formed by thousands of array symbols. These weren't simple runes either, they were a complex one that was also way beyond his comprehension.

His heart skipped a beat. This was the most impressive thing he saw in his entire life. He couldn't solve a single one of those runes, let alone the entire thing!

Devassa wanted him to open that thing? Was she being serious? Did she want him also to go eat the moon and make the sun disappear? Ridiculous! Couldn't she tell that it wasn't something that individuals like them could even come close to comprehend?

Yes, he was better with Rune Manipulation than with Will Manipulation, but he was still a beginner. The only manual he ever had on the subject was an introductory one. The rest of the things that he had learned were only the fruit of several trial and attempts. Plus they were even simpler than the single runes that composed every single fraction of that barrier.

Under such a shock, Darkscale couldn't keep his cool. He tried very hard to still keep his calm and unflinching demeanor, while he tried to understand what to do next.

"What?" the violet snake seemed surprised by Darkscales's reaction. It almost seemed like she was asking him to solve the most simple array in the universe.

"Is it too difficult?" mocked him Winter Snow from the side with a grin on her face. This was her time to beat him when he was down and she would not lose the chance to do it.

The black serpent flenched in place. He almost wanted to speed over to her, biting off her ugly silly head! Too difficult? Yes, it was too difficult! It was the most difficult thing he had ever seen in his life!

Killing intent began to expand from his black body, focusing on the two females affiliated with the Fire Earth Tribe. "Are you kidding me?"
