"Of course." The Dark Brainwyrm immediately replied.
"Exactly. So, how about it? Do you want to be my Mameluke?" Elliot quickly pushed the question upon it as the details of the slave contract appeared on their minds.
"Uhhh, well…" The Dark Brainwyrm hesitated as he beheld the huge amount of information that had suddenly appeared in his mind in confusion.
"Time is ticking. Once the big Belcher absorbs all the beast cores it ate, it will become too strong for even both of us to deal with!" Elliot pressed it urgently even as he was speeding away from the battle to hide from the Belcher.
He had asked Hawk the AI earlier for an estimate on the Belcher's possible power up to the Emperor level, and Hawk had said that it would take at least six hours, very possibly thirty six hours to complete the digestion of the cores. And another twelve hours for such a huge body to completely stabilize the growth.
