No wonder those Longwing Dragon hatchlings were so scared that they directly jumped off the cliff. Clearly, the terrifying effect produced by this aura was beyond their endurance limit. Surrender was not the first choice for these wild animals; their first choice was to escape, to flee far away from this terrifying presence that radiated a terrifying aura.
This aura quickly disappeared, and Lynd's taut body also relaxed. He patted Glory's head, signaling it to guard outside, then walked to the Dragon Egg. After a moment of hesitation, as if making up his mind, he reached out and placed his hand on the Dragon Egg.
The moment Lynd pressed his hand on the Dragon Egg's shell, he suddenly heard a very ancient voice in his ear, saying, "Deltos!"
Then, he felt the magic contained within the Nameless King Rune in his heart surge into the Dragon Egg like a flood breaking a dam. The surface of the Dragon Egg also alternately displayed red, silver-blue, white, and black light.
In recent years, he had hardly used magic again. Even when assisting in battle, he only borrowed the power of magical artifacts like the Cloudtop Bell. After several years of accumulation, he was unsure how much magic was contained within the Nameless King Rune, but he was certain it should be enough for him to use in the war against the Others.
However, this magic, intended to deal with the Others, had not yet played the role Lynd hoped it would, and instead became the hatching sustenance needed by the Dragon Egg. Although unexpected, he did not feel too much regret, because even if it was consumed, it would not be difficult for him to recover. At most, in about a month, he would be back to normal, because the recovery of magic in the Rune did not start from zero, but from a hundred, from a thousand, from ten thousand; the more accumulated initially, the faster the recovery.
As Lynd's magic poured in, the Dragon Egg's absorption quickly reached saturation, and the suction coming from the eggshell gradually weakened and disappeared. Lynd was also able to remove his hand from the eggshell.
Although the massive consumption of magic had not yet reached the limit of the Nameless King Rune, a hint of fatigue still appeared on Lynd's face. He took two steps back, observing the changes in the Dragon Egg before him, while thinking about the name he had just heard, Deltos.
This was not the first time Lynd had heard this name. The last time he heard this name was in the Nameless King's memories, and the entity corresponding to this name was an ancient Dragon King, once the most powerful enemy of the gods. After its death, its body covered an entire mountain range, and that mountain range also became the last habitat of the ancient Dragons, and also the place where the Nameless King lived in seclusion after being stripped of his title of Dragon-Slaying God of War.
As time passed little by little, the frequency of the patterns flickering on the eggshell began to accelerate, and Lynd could faintly hear a series of heartbeats. These heartbeats were like intense war drums, making people feel their blood boil and an urge to find someone to fight a great battle.
Soon, the heartbeat and the Rune's flickering frequency became synchronized, and then accelerated again. Cracks began to appear on the surface of the Dragon Egg, and the cracks grew larger and larger, quickly splitting open completely, turning into countless fragments that fell to the ground. The Dragon encased in the eggshell also spread its wings, revealing its true form.
From Glutton, it was not difficult to see that the Dragons of this world were bipedal and bipedal, with a pair of hind legs and forelegs with wings. At first glance, they were somewhat similar to Longwing Dragons, which led to Maester Barth's speculation that Dragons were Longwing Dragons transformed through blood magic.
However, the hatchling that appeared before Lynd now was quadrupedal and quad-winged. The entire Dragon's body was very slender, and its neck was as slender and long as Glutton's neck. A pair of wings extended from its forelegs' armpits, with their roots extending to the middle of its body. Another pair of wings grew from the end of its hind legs, extending to the middle of its tail. It looked both strange and magnificent.
In addition, its skin was also vastly different from Glutton's. Glutton's skin was covered in scales and had a metallic sheen, while this hatchling's skin looked more like hard and smooth marble. Moreover, the surface of its wings was covered with completely different patterns, and these patterns shone with different faint lights: the two front wings were silver-blue and silver-white, while the two back wings were pure red and pure black, precisely corresponding to the four lights that had just emanated from the eggshell.
At this moment, the hatchling also opened its eyes and looked at Lynd.
Lynd could feel the hatchling observing him, so he softly said, "Deltos."
Upon hearing Lynd's name, the hatchling immediately moved closer to Lynd, affectionately pressing against his body and rubbing its wings against him.
At this moment, Lynd could feel the hatchling's closeness to him, just like Glory and Glutton, even more intimate than the two, with a sense of illusion that they were each other's avatars.
And the most obvious feeling for Lynd was that the magic accumulated in the Nameless King Rune within his body could be exchanged and used with the magic in the hatchling's body, as if they were the same body.
This wondrous state also made Lynd understand why Dragons were the darlings of this world, because their speed of absorbing magic was simply too fast. Lynd felt that the magic consumed this time might not need a month to recover completely, but only half a month, or even about ten days.
This effect of absorbing magic was only happening while the magic in this world was restricted. When the Red Comet appears and the magic in this world begins to enter its active phase, he might be able to absorb magic through Deltos without having to worry about running out of magic.
Lynd picked up Deltos and held him in front of him. Although Deltos looked small, his body was very heavy, much heavier than when he was an egg. Clearly, during his gestation, some unfathomable mutation had occurred in his body.
Lynd murmured to himself, "Deltos, you appeared too early. It would have been better if you had appeared two years later."
Although Lynd was not worried about owning a Dragon, given the precedent of Glutton, having another Dragon was not a problem. However, he did not want the world to know that he possessed such a special Dragon, at least not until Deltos had grown enough to protect himself.
Deltos also sensed Lynd's thoughts, and then Lynd saw him curl into a ball in his hands, wrapping his body with his wings. Then, the surface of his body began to merge, reverting to the shape of a Dragon Egg.
