Chapter 329 - A Weird Egg!
Chapter 329 - A Weird Egg!
-----
Amongst the family that was now adorned with little children, there was Clementina, who had suddenly brought something… everyone had initially not realized it because they were all distracted with the kids.
But after that, Noah realized she was carrying something between her legs.
"Clementina, is that an egg?" he asked.
"Eh? Ah! I-I thought you just were ignoring it…" said Clementina.
"Honestly I didn't realize it was there…" said Iris.
"What is that egg?" asked Arthur curiously.
"It looks like a monster egg. From the creatures born in the divine realm. I sometimes see clutches near their nests," said Jon.
The egg Clementina was carrying, which was wrapped in cloths, was red-colored, with several decorations around it, making it resemble a finely crafted decoration.
"It does not look like a normal monster egg, and I've seen many. Aside from monsters spawning out of nowhere, they usually also mate and produce offspring naturally. Whenever monsters reach a certain population number, they stop emerging out of thin air and reproduce through these means…" said Noah.
"Is that so? I wonder why you got an egg, did you wanted a pet, Clementina-chan?" asked Iris.
Everyone's gazes weighed over Clementina, as she got redder and redder.
"Yes… I just… Seeing everyone so busy with a baby… And how we took a long break… I was considering having a pet… To fill… the void a bit…" she sighed. It was very hard for her to say that.
"Aww…"
Everyone except Noah who remained expressionless looked at Clementina with pitying eyes, which only made her feel more embarrassed.
"Well, you can keep it, I don't really care. I have not considered taming any monster here because they all naturally obey my will, you can take as many as you want," said Noah, as he seemed to not mind.
"Thank you, my lord! I found this egg near the shore… There were no monsters nearby or anything, so I was very curious how it landed there…" said Clementina.
"I see… Maybe there is a monster species that leave their eggs in the coast and goes back to the blood sea," said Noah.
"Well, the thing is- Eh?"
Crack, crack…!
Suddenly, the egg began to crack!
"Is it hatching already?!" asked Clementine in shock.
"Interesting, I wonder what might come out. I have not seen this egg before," said Noah.
Everyone looked attentively as the egg cracked open, revealing the creature inside!
CRASH!
The egg exploded into pieces, as the creature inside raised its little arms.
It opened his bright crimson-red eyes, looking at everyone curiously.
"Wait… that's…"
"Eh? I thought it was going to be a dragon or something…"
"How could he come out of an egg?!"
"Oh! Interesting! I just had devoured some before, so I was wondering when they would emerge… To think that the first being would come from a mysterious egg…" said Noah.
The baby that emerged looked like… a human!
It looked exactly like a human baby, in fact. It had pale-white skin, short black hair, sharp crimson-red eyes, and a tattoo resembling a drop of blood over his forehead, alongside sharp elf-like ears…
"It was born from this Divine Realm?! A baby Vampire?!" asked Iris in surprise.
"Indeed. I had devoured Human and Vampire corpses some time ago. As you can see, anything I eat will sooner or later emerge in this Divine Realm as an endemic monster. It seems that Human/Vampires had finally begun to spawn… This could quite probably be the first one. You have a good eye, Clementina. I will call him Blood Human," said Noah.
"Blood Human… It kind of looks like my lord a little bit…" said Clementina while blushing a bit as she touched the baby's fluffy black hair, it seemed to be calm, but she touched him, the baby rubbed his face over her hand… and then took a bite.
"Eh?"
The baby continued to bite Clementina as it drank her blood, it seemed to be hungry.
It seemed that today, even Clementina was blessed with an unexpected baby!
"Have you thought of a name?" asked Iris.
"Noah Jr!" said Clementina.
"Don't dare name him like that," said Noah.
"Eep… Okay… Erm… I don't know," sighed Clementina.
"How about Cain?" asked Jon.
"Cain… Uwah, I don't know what name to give him… Maybe later I will decide one," said Clementina.
"Hm, no, decide one right now!" said Noah.
"Eeeh?! Why?" cried Clementina.
"Because he's the first child of a new race. He will become this race's King, so he must be named asap!" said Noah.
"Sigh… W-Well… Okay then… Erm… Crimson!" said Clementina.
"Crimson. A fine name" said Noah.
Everyone nodded.
And since this day, the first Blood Human to have been born spontaneously in this Divine Realm was named Crimson, who also became Clementina's adoptive son!
In the middle of the dinner, Noah finally began to talk about his next course of action and his plans.
"It has been approximately two days in the outside world, even though we had two weeks in here. My clones had already detected powerful waves of mana coming from the Gate set in Central America… there were even sightings of giant claws made of bones and even roars… Whatever it is inside, it is getting bored of being there," said Noah.
"That must be the X-Rank Gate, right?" asked Iris.
"Indeed, a powerful Gate that contains the first X-Rank monsters of this world," said Noah.
"Amazing, and the monster inside… What could it be? An Undead?" asked Arthur.
However, the blood servants of Vayu, Varus, and Indra emerged at the side of Noah in small, reduced forms.
"You're not so far the truth," said Varus.
"However, what's there is…" muttered Vayu.
"It's Vritra, most likely!" said Indra.
"Vritra?" asked Noah.
"Vritra, my other half… At that time when I suddenly separated myself in half… That other half was Vritra… It is an undead dragon, a Dracolich. The bone claw was most likely him!" said Indra.
"But why? How did he get here?" wondered Vayu.
"Well, through a mysterious way, the same way we ended here," said Varus.
"Vritra, huh?" wondered Noah.
