章節 41: The dragon eggs
After two hours.
Zick felt that he had recovered most of his used up mana, he was still confused as to why there were three different sources of energy but it was too late for him to retreat. He only had one choice, that is to move forward.
He was only able to figure out one thing about the three different types of mana, they were all a dragon's mana.
Zick could clearly feel nature's power in all three of them. Standing up, he changed his armour not bothered by the wyvern's screeches. He wore a black leather armour with two new brown leather gauntlets.
'I am really going in blind.....'
Zick knew from the moment he had thought of taking the dragon lord's heart. He didn't know anything about the dragon lord's heart leaving its location. But this heart was the only thing which could increase his potential for the moment.
Zick circulated mana in his right hand, black mana covered his arm strengthening his hand to another level. Veins could be seen bulging in his hand as he was not holding back anymore.
Lifting his hand up, he punched downwards towards the red ground with all his might.
CRACK!!! BANG!
Zick's gauntlet cracked alongside the ground, After the crack formed the ground caved in and started falling. Zick also fell alongside the debris.
Zick eyes started shining at what he saw.
A huge pillar made of pure crystal supported the ceiling, the pillar shone brightly, fully illuminating the underground. There was nothing in the underground leaving the pillar.
Coming to his senses feeling the wind hitting against his face, Zick was falling at very high speed which even his body couldn't resist. it was useless to say what would happen if he crashed on the ground with this speed.
'Damn'
Cursing in his mind, Zick thrust his sword at the crystal pillar. but the crystal was incredibly hard and only the tip of his blades managed to pierce their surface.
Straight trails were left on the wall as Zick kept on falling and held on to his sword. His speed was slowly lowering when his sword wasn't able to handle the force and broke.
Hurriedly taking out another sword from his space ring, Zick thrusted it at the crystal this time using his mana on both his body and the sword.
With a cracking sound, half of the sword stuck into the crystal pillar.
'That was close.....'
Catching the sword from one hand, Zick looked below him. He was more than 300 metres above the surface of the underground base.
Taking out the sword from the crystal pillar, Zick let himself fall with the sword tip still touching the crystal pillar. He decreased the speed of his fall with the sword whenever he felt that he was falling too fast. Doing this a couple of times, Zick was able to reach the surface in a few minutes.
Landing on the ground, Zick had absorbed the impact with a mere flexing of its knees. The gauntlet which held his sword was totally tattered, But Zick's attention was directed at the huge entrance in the crystal pillar.
'Its a dragon lord's den as I thought....'
Only a dragon would make an entrance which is more than 10 metre in length like this.
Zick was disappointed looking at the entrance, usually dragon den are filled with treasures and fancy things but he couldn't find any of it here, It looked more like a desolate place.
He felt the dragon fear more vividly, making him feel goosebumps all over his body. Dragon mana poured out of the entrance Like a broken dam.
Keeping his attention on the surroundings to be able to respond to any unforeseen situation, Zick entered the crystal pillar with a serious expression.
Walking into the entrance, Zick could faintly hear a sound.
BA-BUMP BA-BUMP BA-BUMP
The sound of a beating heart rang out throughout the room, the room was very long with shiny surfaces, there wasn't a speck of dust in the room. With the surface shining this brightly it illuminated every part of the room.
Weird magic inscriptions were made on the walls glowing dimly almost like they had run out of energy. Zick didn't know its purpose but he knew that it was something important. Anything that is here was made by the dragon lord, in other words those magic inscriptions were working from 20,000 years ago.
Zick walked towards the sound of the heart beat, he could not see the end of this room even as he tried looking at the end of the room. Walking for a few minutes like this in the silence, something appeared at the end of his view.
Zick started walking a little faster towards it, when he was able to see the clear appearance of what it was, shock ran through his body. His hands started shaking on their own with chills rising all over his body.
'The dragon lord's heart....'
Even while feeling the fear, Zick did not stop walking. He was able to see the heart using mana to enhance his view.
The dragon lord's heart was a silvered colour just like how it was described in the novel. It was bigger than a human heart, reaching almost 30 centimetre. Dragon mana poured out of it ceaselessly but there were another two sources of dragon mana along with it.
"Eggs...?''
Zick spoke out loud in surprise, his voice echoed throughout the room. He had seen two different eggs, one was in silver colour with weird symbols drawn in it and the other was a golden egg with the same symbols as the silver egg.
'Dragon eggs...'
Zick was shocked at what he found here, he had contemplated many reasons why the dragon lord's heart was here but he never thought that it might be for the dragon eggs.
'I mean, what kind of egg takes 20,000 years to hatch.....'
Even though Zick didn't know much about the dragons, he still felt it was too much for an egg to not hatch for more than 20,000 years.
The two eggs actually gave out more mana than the heart, Zick could see a mysterious connection between the heart and the two eggs. The little amount of mana that came out of the heart was partially absorbed by the two eggs.
Reaching in front of heart and eggs, Zick looked at the dragon lord's heart closely.
The silver heart was kept above a small round table which was bulging out the floor.
Zick's body shook from the dragon fear coming out of the heart.
'There doesn't seem like there's any defensive or offensive spell here...I should first eat the dragon heart then I can think about the eggs…..'
Zick decided to complete his original purpose first.
