Mike nodded, stored the remaining empty books in his inventory, and leaned back slightly.
"Now… time for the dragon egg and the mask," Mike said.
Lily's eyes lit up with curiosity. "I want to see what a Mythical dragon looks like."
Mike took a slow breath and pulled out the Graveborn Dragon Egg. The egg was cold to the touch, its surface etched with faint bone-like patterns and veins of dark mana pulsing within.
He activated Midas Touch.
Golden light spread from his hand, flowing over the egg like liquid metal. For a brief moment, the deathly aura clashed violently with the radiant transformation power.
Cracks appeared.
Then—
Boom.
The mana pressure in the room spiked.
Skeletal patterns slowly spread across the surface of the egg, and the faint blue flames surrounding it transformed into ghastly white fire. The flames flickered in and out of existence, as if phasing between realms.
"Here, done," Mike said, handing the egg back to Lily.
