Taming Master

< (4). Magical Egg -1 >

‘Yes, that's right...! There was another legendary egg owner! ’

Ian's brain flashes with a red magic egg.

A red egg with a very similar look and texture to the egg of Behemoth was immediately overlapped with the egg of Behemoth.

A horse's egg that was handed to you in exchange for a Dimensional Energy Charger from a Gripper.

I gave it to Gripper and forgot it, but now that I think about it, the egg must have been a legendary horse-drawn egg.

Did the gripper find a way to hatch? ’

I couldn't think about it any longer.

Before the portal closed, I had to go back to the human world.

“Serbian, I'll be going now. ”

“How long have you been here? They always come and go for a week... ”

“Something urgent has come up. In the meantime, please take good care of my eggs. ”

“That's it... ”

Without a word from Serbian, Ian dashes out of the lab.

The destination was a dimensional tower at the eastern end of the continent.

* * *

White, black, and gray.

In the landscape of a perfect monotone, as if trapped in a black and white photo, a giant spire of silence pierces the sky.

The white snow sits down and even the rocky canyons surrounding the tower seem desolate. There are countless skeletons around the tower, creating a peculiar atmosphere.

It is forbidden to connect the northern and central continents.

The area, which was first opened with this update, has not yet reached any user's footsteps.

It was because it was a map that could not be entered in the usual way.

And this tall spire was the tower of the Rich King Charleon.

“Ugh, how dare a black wizard refuse my offer... ”

On the big stool at the top of the tower, a man in a black robe is sitting.

A dark man exhaling dark energy all over his body.

He raises his bony hand and grips his heart, making a painful expression.

“Phew, to recover the missing soul fragments... I won't be able to move for another week. ”

The man's eyes flash.

And his eyes were shining with fury.

“How dare.... I'll make you regret that choice today. ”

All this time, no one has tried to oppose Charleon's will, except for Suzumi Motal.

No, not even that mortal, not after Charleon gained the power of the Rich King.

However, the fundamentally unscrupulous Human Black Wizard refused his offer.

Thinking about the time he had lost, his anger was forced to rise.

Rrrrgh!

Shalion reaches for his teeth and raises one hand, his cold inside the spire.

Then, around his hand, black currents began to surge.

“Ra-Cameroel! ”

Charleon's cold, sharp voice echoes through the spire.

And the black smoke started to spread in front of him, and five shadows rose from the ground.

And one of them, the shadow in the middle, slowly walks out of the darkness and kneels before her.

A man wearing a bizarre type of breastplate and a black axe spear on his back.

“You summoned me, my king. ”

He was reborn by the power of the Rich King, a knight of death.

Charleon gets up slowly from his seat.

Then I opened my mouth with a strange look, revealing white teeth.

“The war... has begun. ”

Charleon's eyes then start to turn red.

“Collect all the scattered pieces of souls. ”

Camelot, the Knight of Death, replies.

“I have my orders. ”

* * *

An endless green garden.

To the extent that the expression of the monument was not thought to be excessive, the landscape of the garden where beautiful flowers of color grew was like that of heaven.

And in the center of the garden, one beautiful dragon sat playing a pearl.

A mysterious non-dragon with a beautiful scale reflecting the light of the blue sky and the light of the blue meadow.

Phew - Phew -!

He was asking for a nap with a cheerful expression and an elongated purr.

But then...

The eyes of the closed non-dragon flash open.

Something strange awakened him to his sleep.

Phew.

A massive body of non-dragons circles the area.

It feels strange and intense like nothing I've ever felt before.

It was definitely someone who appeared in this garden, not "Master."

The dragon hurls its body one at a time, forcefully striking the ground.

Shoot-!

As the dragon flies into the blue sky, his enormous body turns completely blue.

The birth of a beautiful non-dragon that would open its mouth if anyone had seen it!

He spreads his big wings and starts flying towards the tower.

The mission of non-dragons was to protect the ‘master’, who was good at eating and having fun.

* * *

Behind the Dimensional Tower is the Monster Ranch of the Gripper.

A breeding ground that Ian used to restore from the Ancient Arnobyl Empire for breeding.

Gripper was still running the ranch.

Gripper, who was feeding the Halicans, finds Ian and greets him with a big welcome.

“No, look who it is. I thought you were the hero of World War II! You made it all the way to this dumpy place. It's a bummer. ”

Ian smiles as he looks at the gripper shaking his head to disagree with his polite appearance.

Since the intimacy with the gripper had been taken for as long as possible, this reaction was actually natural.

“Haha, the Grand Duke of Ian. I'm not the Duke anymore. ”

At Ian's words, the gripper widens its wrinkled eyes and asks again.

“Huh, then? Did you get a throne because you built a country? ”

Ian laughed and laughed.

“Bingo. Exactly. You may open your mat. ”

Gripper looks a little surprised, but not shaken.

“Hehe, the Empire has fallen and it has come to that. ”

“That's how it happened. ”

Gripper makes a fool of himself.

He stared at Ian with a pitiful look.

“When I first met you, I thought I was the Baron Ian.... You're really something. Haha.”

To be precise, Gripper's identity was no less than that of a commoner.

He received a noble title from the Empire in the past, but it was invalidated because the Empire was already destroyed.

Grippers, however, were not already in the usual human category.

To him who was acting as a dimensional arbiter, his status was meaningless.

That is why he was able to deal with Ian without hesitation, even though he had heard that he had ascended to the throne.

“By the way, why did you find this old man? A busy man like you wouldn't have come here for no reason... ”

Ian nods and starts talking business.

Gripper unleashes his luck, making it easier for him to keep talking.

“Oh, it's no different... Mr. Gripper, do you remember the red horse egg I gave you earlier? ”

At Ian's question, Gripper considers for a moment and nods, smiling.

“Of course, how can I forget the egg? Of course I remember.”

When Ian heard the answer, he swallowed a bite and opened his mouth again.

“In that case... The egg. Did you succeed in hatching? ”

Ian's gaze, which asked the question, was fixed on the creased mouth of the gripper.

A long time of proficiency, according to his answer.) could have been achieved, Ian was naturally nervous.

But instead of answering him, Gripper grinned and pointed his finger somewhere.

“Here they come. ”

“Yes?”

“You found the egg, didn't you? ”

“I did.”

Gripper smiles bloody and opens his mouth again.

“The egg you gave me is flying in from over there. ”

“ …? ”

Ian looks embarrassed by the incomprehensible story, but turns his gaze toward the direction the gripper pointed.

And I had to curl my eyes.

It was because in the sky the gripper pointed at, a beautiful heavenly dragon was flying.

What was even more surprising was that it was a dragon I had never seen before, but I felt like I had seen it a lot.

Ian focuses his eyes on the distant flying dragons, confirming the information floating above his head.

[Selipa - Lv 125]

“Sel... Ripa? ”

Ian's muttering, the gripper is cheerful (?) I spoke up.

“Oh…! I didn't think anyone would recognize him! As expected, you are one of the best summoners on the continent! ”

But for Ian now, the gripper's voice never reached his ears.

The closer you get to the dragon, the more familiar it looks, and the more familiar the name Selifa is.

Ian was able to remember where he saw Selifa's appearance.

‘Khalifa...! Don't you look just like Kalipa the Dragon?! It's the same color as the scale texture. It's totally lame! ’

In fact, it was similar to the name, so it was strange that Ian did not recognize it.

The only thing different from Caliphate is that the texture of the scale, which was dark red and crude, turned into a glass reflective texture.

Ian asks Gripper in a trembling voice.

“So... that's the one from the egg I gave you...?" ”

Knowing Ian's burning insides, the gripper nods and starts bragging.

“Yes. Thanks to you, I'm not bored even when I'm stuck in this corner tower." Sometimes eating the monsters I raise can be a pain in the ass, but that's not the case these days. ”

Ian, your stomach is starting to hurt!

Ian is an ominous man.) I tried to ignore the premonition and asked again to the gripper.

“Is he...? What is your rank? ”

And Gripper smiles, smiling, saying that it's not a big deal.

“Haha, the egg you gave me, I guess I can guess.... ”

Kung-!

Selipa flies next to the gripper and stares at Ian with caution.

Phew - Phew -!

Gripper strokes Selifa's head with a pouty expression.

“Our Selifa is a mythical beast. ”

When Ian heard the answer, he almost looked like he was going to cry.
