Chapter 18 Dragons Egg (1/2)

”Haha, we are finally back Yuki.” Theo smiled at her.

She also nodded happily wagging her tail at the sight of the [Cave].

Despite going through everything today, they were happy to be able to rest now.

”What?!” Upon entering the [Cave], Theo noticed that there was a person inside.

Approaching, Theo realized that it was a (Human) man, with a very large wound on his chest, which seemed to have been done by claws.

”This has to do with the (Dragon)?” Theo asked, remembering that the (Dragon) was looking for a wounded (Human).

”Yuki, wait here! I'll go check on him.” Theo could not hear the (Human) breathing, but he did not want to risk it and to have Yuki wound up again.

He then began to move towards this (Human) with caution.

Coming close to this (Human), Theo noticed a blood pool where this (Human) was, and he wasn't moving even when he got to such a close distance.

This man had a well-developed body, with long black hair. He was dressed in a powerful blue war suit. But most of it had claw marks already.

”It looks like he died of blood loss,” Theo thought.

Seeing that he was dead, Theo called Yuki since he saw that there was no danger.

Looking at this man, Theo noticed that he was in the 2nd Tier of the Apprentice Wizard. Even though he thought it was disrespectful, Theo began to use his newly learned divine sense on the man's body, there searching for something of value.

But right after he finished looking at this man. ”HAHAHA !!” Theo began to laugh loudly happily because he just found a [Dimensional Bag]in his body and a large (Egg) of almost 30 centimetres.

”And... This (egg) must be the reason the (Dragon) is looking for this (Human).” Theo thought that that was probably it.

”Should I use <Devour> on it?” Theo began to wonder if he should or should not use it.

After pondering whether or not to use <Devour> on this man's body, Theo decided to use it, not wanting to waste a good way to strengthen himself.

The moment Theo used <Devour>, his tail expanded toward the (Human) opening a large mouth and swallowing it.

”ROARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!”

Theo began to roar loudly in pain as he used <Devour>.

Seeing this, tears began to flow out of Yuki's eyes, worried about Theo who was roaring in pain.

At that moment Theo's [Magic Core] inner mana was vigorous and pure. He fused the [Essence] that was entering his body to form a gleaming golden cyclone that swelled and inflated his [Magic Core].

He used his will to control the whirlpool within his [Magic Core], causing it to constantly shrink.

[Congratulations! You have reached: 2nd Tier of the Student Kingdom]

[Congratulations! You have reached: 3rd Tier of the Student Kingdom]

Without realizing it, he had already managed to have 2 advances in his cultivation, but he didn't have the time to think about it now for there was still a lot of energy in his body.

[Congratulations! You have reached: 4th Tier of the Student Kingdom]

A short while later, Theo suddenly felt that his abdomen was very hot and uncomfortable. However, he could only grit his teeth and endure the discomfort brought on by the scorching heat as he continued to shrink the cyclone.

Time passed little by little…

After a few hours, Theo's body was enveloped in a mana mist. The [Essence] swallowed up by <Devour> was constantly strengthening his body like a rising wave, [Essence] rose through his body as it fed his flesh, bones, and blood. The more [Essence] he absorbed, the more his [Magic Core] grew stronger.

At this moment, he was absorbing the [Essence] without a stop in his body!

Suddenly, Theo's body, which was soaked with sweat and impurities, began to emit a slight golden mist.

At dusk, the [Cave] that had darkened, began to shine due to Theo's body.

Theo groaned in pain as the golden mist suddenly left his body. This shook the air, causing a draft in the [Cave].

[Congratulations! You have reached: 9th Tier of the Student Kingdom]

”It finally stopped!” Theo said as he felt the pain cease and fainted from exhaustion.

Seeing that Theo was about to fall to the ground, Yuki approached him worriedly and let him lean on her body, to hit the ground, not caring about the bad smell that came from Theo's body.
