As even after a month of imitating the snakes he still didn´t get to learn a skill, he wanted to give up until he suddenly had an idea.
What I am imitating is their movement not their attack pattern. That could be the reason why I didn´t get to learn something from imitating them. I should let them fight against each other.
He thought a bit hesitantly. As every Snake Race had a rather unique fighting style, he needed them to fight to death, so he can study their fighting style. To different Snake Race on the same Stage of development could have differences in their fighting style as much as there is a difference between the sun and the moon. As he couldn´t get himself to remember how the Snake Races, in the Animal Stage, in his old Dungeon fought. I lived over a thousand years and after my dungeon got to the 20th floor, there were no longer andy animals in my dungeon. All of them did evolve to atleast to Monsters at the Stage 1. Well even if i could remember how they fought i still need to know the uniqueness in fighting of my new created Snake Race. Marluxia would lose a lot if this experiment didn´t succeed. On the other hand it could be what the snake needed to evolve. Only the strong can survive in this world. A trial by fire could be a great thing for the snakes. After a few minutes he sighted and looked at his little snakes.
Little ones until now you all had an easy life, from now on that will end. I need you to get stronger and that’s why you need to get used to fighting. Only through real life and death situations can someone really improve. Do you understand that?
Marluxia said smiling apologizing. The snakes all wiggled their tails and hissed, to show Marluxia that they understood his train of thought. So he sighted and shook his head before he continued his speech.
You will now fight each other. You will fight until there is only one survivor. For the winner there is not only life and the experience needed to improve, I will also upgrade his bloodline farther.
As soon as Marluxias last word was spoken the snakes started to fight each other. They fought their brothers not only out of greed, because of the promised improvement of their bloodline. No they rather fought each other for Marluxias sake as they all knew he can´t really improve farther without opening his dungeon, but how could he open his dungeon if he wasn´t able to cultivate a Boss until now. Since the first time they opened their eyes they improved quite a bit, but it was really far from what they need to improve to evolve into a real Monster from an Animal. Every one of these snakes knew if they want to evolve they will need to be the survivor. The death battle of this brothers will probably not be enough to evolve but if they survive they will not be to far from evolving, because of this tiny bit of hope for them to evolve they fought each other to death.
The tiniest and weakest of this twenty snakes was killed in an swift attack of all the other nineteen snakes to gather. Only after the nineteen sakes had eaten the tiniest one did they continue the fighting. A snake with a black star over his left eye leaped onto one of his brothers. Swiftly he bites the neck of this snake through. While he slowly started to eat his killed pray three of his brothers attacked him to getter. Being besieged by three of his brothers he tried his best to win this fight but at the end he still died on the coordinated attacks of this three. At least he took one of them with him and wounded the other two rather bad. Because the two wounded ones fought over the two corpses they fought each other and managed to fatally wound each other.

In a short timeframe of a few breaths out of the twenty snakes there were at the beginning only five survived. This five were the strongest one out of the twenty snakes and even he wasn´t sure which one of this five will be the final survivor.
Marluxia studied every move of every snake during their infighting. During the fight his eyes seemed to glow a little bit yellow as he watched this fight. Every move of the snakes looked so beautiful. This fight mesmerized him. He didn´t even realize that the fight between the last five snakes took over one hour until the winner was decided. It was not so easily settled, as even the winner was really badly hurt. The snake which has one was originally completely white without anything else. Now his body was scarred. One scar was really ugly it went along it right eye if the scar was only a bit farther right it would have destroyed this snakes eye.
Sorrowful Marluxia fed this Snake a few healing herbs. It took sometime until all wounds were healed. He patted that little guys small head Now that you have won I should give you a name, don´t you think Marluxia sighted and whispered From now on you shall be called Oscar
You named one of your Animals, as a named individual it will be from now on a ancestor of its decedents.
With a smile Marluxia fed Oscar two drops of his blood. After that was done he got down on one knee and tipped with his finger on the snakes head and infused slowly Mana into it. This process took around two hours.
Suddenly Oscar started to light up. As Marluxia knew what is coming now he watched smiling as Oscars body got slowly deconstructed and then reconstructed. His frame got a lot more bulky. Oscars body was now no longer only around ten centimeters long, through the reconstruction his body was now almost one and a half meter long. Also instead of two poison fangs, four poison fangs decorated his jaw.
Congratulation you created your first Stage 0 Monster of the Shiro Snake Race. How do you want to call the Stage 0?
Marluxia pondered a long time. It took him almost an hour to get a name he liked.
Wicked Snow Snake
Stage 0 of the Shiro Snake Race shall be called Wicked Snow Snake?
Yes
After his evolution Oscar laid down in the pond and napped. Not only did he had a tough battle behind him he also evolved which was especially tough on his body and he first must refresh his energie. The easiest way for him to recover was to sleep in the pond because of the poison it contained.
Marluxia looked at the sleeping now evolved snake and sighted in his heart. In his opinion he had to pay a price that was almost too high. Luckily Oscar did evolve so the sacrifice of 19 basic animals did pay off. He scanned Oscar.
