Chapter 416 Hatching The Egg
Rishi was able to fully recover in just a few days, but he still had to wait for a complete week as the doctor wanted to make sure there was no hidden injury on his body. He stuttered about runes all day. Kajal would come to meet him at night, but that all changed when she came last night. She told him she was going into seclusion and would be unable to meet him for a long time.
At first, Rishi was unwilling, but when he looked at her determined expression and his promise to her, he let her go. He couldn’t become a hurdle in her life and stop her from doing what she wanted, and now suddenly he was all alone again.
He was given one month’s leave from the academy to recover, and Rishi took the space gate to return to Mazar City. After his raid in the secret realm, he became very popular in various regions. There were many reasons for his popularity. First were his tales told by the other students; they had seen him riding a giant sailor. How he defeated four students and made them lose their ring fingers was also interesting; the last reason was that he came last and appeared in such a pathetic state.
Many guessed he would pass out as his condition was beyond miserable; he was in such a state that the media had to blur some portions as it was not allowed to show something like that. People thought that another shooting star had gone away, but seeing clips of him moving around fully recovered made them even more curious about him.
One by one, all his novels and stories became popular. The clip in which he defeated five top students of another academy also went viral. When one of the experts revealed that he used a semi-zone, this shocked everyone. His zone was also weird because it only gave him mobility instead of having defense, control, debuff, buff, or offense.π΅ππππ΅ππ’xt.ππΆπ
His skills and weapon choices also piqued everyone’s interest. Unlike others, he could use multiple weapons, all to his mastery. When his past and status were revealed, this only fueled his popularity, making the Rawat clan one of the top five clans in the state.
Many universities that saw him sent their admission letters to Mazar Academy. Of course, they also sent various gifts to please the academy. Little did they know that the academy had no say about which college he would choose, especially in Rishi’s case.
He got a lot of attention when he came back to Makar City. One side of him was enjoying the attention, while the other wanted to have some privacy. After reaching Mazar City, he returned to his apartment, where he found his maid. She was taking good care of it.
He thanked her and gave her some precious treasures before asking her to go back for a month. She wanted to protest, but he asked her to leave. This maid in her mid-twenties never had a day off in the last two and a half years; he felt terrible for it, which is why he decided to let her some rest.
While this was the first reason, the second was that he had to hatch the Drake Egg, which he had left here. It was about to hatch. He didn’t want anyone to know what he was doing, not even his uncle, who had helped him a lot. Who knows when greed gets the best of him, and he loses himself or accidentally leaks the information?
He then inscribed many arrays to seal his apartment. He then used his spells to conceal the atmosphere further. After repeating it multiple times, he became a pro at it. He then took the egg out and placed it on an egg holder. He then created a large pool using shadow energy and emptied all the dragonblood he had. He then started refining it and extracting dragon essence from it.
Usually, it was tough to get even one drop of dragon essence, but as he had a large amount of dragonblood of good quality, he could extract one liter of golden-colored essence. That looked like shiny wax. He used it to feed his egg, which was sucking it little by little.
He had to create a formation to help it absorb the dragonessence faster. It was tough for the egg to absorb pure dragon essence. Rishi decided that he had already waited for so long. A little more would not hurt if the quality of the beast could be improved.
This was something common with beasts with powerful genes and bloodlines. This is the reason why a newborn infant can be weak and malnourished if he is not given proper care. As a beast tamer, Rishi knew these things, due to which he was not impatient.
He also got an idea; he put the Evolution Crystal near it. He used it to check if the crystal could have an effect on the newborn. While it could be dangerous, he was convinced that it would not have any negative effects.
From that day on, he checked the condition of the egg every day and found that it grew in size. It now looked like a gem and had a shiny scale-like pattern surrounding it. Its egg had started to turn royal blue.
A week passed, and all the dragon essence was absorbed. The egg became one foot long, and the scales on it also became tougher. He touched it and could feel that it was warm. He closed his eyes and ran his spiritual senses. He suddenly had a heartbeat.
He was able to sense the emotions of the beast. It was unwilling to hatch. It wanted more. It was craving a little more dragon essence. Rishi looked at this unhashed glutton and didn’t know what to say. At last, he decided to do what he asked.
He took out the dragon fruit, and the egg started shaking. The problem was how to feed it. Rishi created a small cut on it and let some drops of it fall on the egg. The crystal next to it also suddenly released a blinding light. Rishi moved back and stored the fruit.
The egg spun, and then, ‘Crack! Multiple small cracks appeared on it, and a small head poped out. It had a soft, triangular head with small, rounded horns. It had a black body with dark, dark blue scales surrounding it. The baby blinked his big eyes and looked at its surroundings.
Its eyes then cutely shifted to Rishi, who was standing at some distance. It smelled, and he closed his eyes as if sensing something. Lightnining rubbed out of its body as it flashed two times and appeared on Rishi’s face. He held this little baby and looked at it with a smile.
The area below its neck was white. Its beautiful blue-colored eyes had dotted black pupils. It released a soft ‘Growl’. It had four limbs and a small tail that wiggled slowly.
