Episode 110
At some point, the egg that had been moving actively came to a halt.
It no longer rolled about, only swaying back and forth like a pendulum.
And the raised upper portion of the egg began to crack.
Jeon Jae-woo, startled, hurried to fetch the Incubator and placed the egg inside.
Tap.
A fragment of the egg’s shell fell away.
‘At last…’
After waiting so long, he was intensely curious about what creature would emerge.
“Long? Most summons take at least this long when hatching from eggs.”
“I know, I know. Just let me watch.”
According to the Lich King, the time Jeon Jae-woo had spent with the egg was hardly extraordinary by any standard.
But why had an egg that hadn’t hatched for decades suddenly show signs of breaking now?
If he had to identify a cause, it could only be attributed to the influence of his presence.
That was the only change that had occurred around the egg recently.
The Hunter Bureau would be shocked if they found out about this.
“Come on now, break free quickly. Dad and your other friends have been waiting so eagerly.”
“The Creator waits, perhaps. But we summons are not particularly waiting, sir.”
Such heartless creatures, these summons.
Yet the time until complete hatching stretched far longer than expected.
Three hours had passed since the hatching began, and still no sign of the creature inside.
“…Why is it taking so long?”
“After decades of not hatching, show a little patience and wait further, will you?”
But the shell had only cracked the tiniest bit in three hours—wouldn’t the thing inside go mad?
The shell kept breaking, albeit slowly, so hatching was progressing, even if laboriously.
In the end, the egg never fully cracked that entire night.
Leaving aside the cracking itself, he still couldn’t tell what kind of Divine Beast it was.
Only the tiniest glimpse of the creature appeared at the edge—not enough to see it emerge or identify what Divine Beast it was.
“The egg is a world, and the bird must destroy that world to be born.”
“I haven’t read that book, so don’t quote it to me.”
Waiting for the Divine Beast to awaken from its egg wasn’t necessarily a crucial turning point for it.
Myeol-geop had said that once its time came, it didn’t matter if the egg was destroyed.
Jeon Jae-woo was tempted to smash it open himself.
But there was a risk the Divine Beast inside might be harmed, so he exercised patience as the Lich King advised.
Eventually, Jeon Jae-woo grew so tired of waiting that he fell asleep first.
“If it hatches during the night, keep an eye on it for me.”
[Don’t worry yourself. Rest easy.]
Exhausted, Jeon Jae-woo entrusted the egg to his summons and drifted off.
And when he awoke to sunlight streaming through the window.
The moment his eyes opened, they met those of a new living being.
“……??”
The Divine Beast born from the egg was a serpent.
Not an ordinary snake, but one with eight heads and eight tails.
***
〈???〉 – Bonded to: Jeon Jae-woo
Description – Descendant of a legendary spirit from myth. Greatly diminished in rank compared to its ancestor.
Species – Yamata no Orochi
Traits – Myriad Poison (SS). Skin Shedding (B). Sword of Gathering Clouds (SS).
The Yamata no Orochi—a legendary spirit from Japanese mythology.
“Of course, it can’t possibly be exactly like the real Yamata no Orochi from the legends.”
In any case, Jeon Jae-woo had never imagined the Divine Beast born from the egg would be a serpent.
‘I thought it might be a wolf or some kind of bird…’
Regardless, as soon as the Divine Beast saw Jeon Jae-woo awake, it kept trying to nestle against him.
Watching the creature continually burrow into his arms, Jeon Jae-woo found himself thinking.
‘So it really was born from that egg.’
The way it followed him so devotedly made it certain.
Jeon Jae-woo smiled gently and stroked the creature.
A soft hiss.
The Divine Beast responded to its master’s touch, flicking its tongue.
Myeol-geop, who had been watching Orochi with interest, spoke.
[But this one is already fully grown. It’s natural, given it hasn’t been born for so long.]
“What? What do you mean by that?”
It was only the size of a dog or cat, yet fully developed.
As it grew, the creature would never remain confined to this size.
[But it has already sprouted multiple heads and tails.]
“So it originally had only one?”
[Divine Beasts with multiple tails or heads typically emerge with only one at birth. When there are many heads, it’s difficult for them to manage in infancy.]
According to Myeol-geop, it must have spent so long in the egg that it matured completely inside.
‘But how nutrient-rich was that egg to allow it to stay there for decades and grow like this?’
He recalled an adult who had remained unborn for such an extraordinarily long time that he emerged from the womb aged and withered.
“Then it’s older than us. Since it wasn’t born for decades.”
[That’s likely the case.]
Its outer skin was incredibly soft, its eyes glistening wetly—it looked like a newborn despite everything.
In fact, checking the status window, the creature already possessed multiple Traits.
So many that there seemed nowhere left for it to grow on its own.
Yet despite possessing such powerful Traits, the raw force emanating from it was extraordinarily faint.
At this rate, even activating such a Trait once would likely leave it collapsed and exhausted.
In fact, it might not be able to fully manifest even a single one.
The Traits were so overwhelming that, until it grew sufficiently, it couldn’t use any of its abilities at all.
“It will grow bigger, though, right?”
[Of course. A Divine Beast called Yamata no Orochi couldn’t possibly be small.]
He thought of the Yamata no Orochi from myth and legend.
Regardless of how large it might become, it would certainly never be ordinary-sized.
Would he need to move to a house that could accommodate a massive Divine Beast?
Some Hunters with large summons couldn’t manage the space, so they rented entire districts to house them, or so he’d heard.
“So how do I raise it properly? What’s the main diet for snakes… rabbits? Wild game?”
[Does a Divine Beast this powerful require anything special? It should grow steadily on any decent food.]
Now that he thought about it, several hours had passed since birth and he’d yet to feed it anything.
He wasn’t sure whether it was hungry or not—it hadn’t whined or demanded food.
Jeon Jae-woo retrieved one World Tree Elixir.
But snakes were carnivores—would it be all right to feed it fruit?
“This isn’t ordinary fruit, but an elixir. I hope it benefits rather than harms it.”
Or perhaps the elixir’s Mana was so potent it would damage the Divine Beast’s body.
Worried, Jeon Jae-woo cut the elixir into bite-sized pieces and offered one to Orochi.
But the creature seemed reluctant, flicking its tail and batting the elixir away.
“Hisss!”
“What? You won’t eat it?”
“There is no Divine Beast that cannot consume an elixir. It simply doesn’t wish to.”
Jeon Jae-woo was at a loss.
‘Surely it’s not being picky about its food?’
This was the first time he’d seen a Divine Beast actually resist eating an elixir.
“Listen, you brat. Do you have any idea how precious this food is?”
Hunters working for the Hunter Bureau would dilute a single World Tree Elixir several times over and share it among multiple people.
“Hisss! Hisss!”
But no matter how many times he offered it, the reaction remained the same.
Perhaps being a carnivore, it simply disliked fruit?
Since the newborn needed to be fed, he couldn’t continue forcing something it refused to eat.
Instead of the elixir, Jeon Jae-woo retrieved a Beast corpse of suitable size from No-bum’s interior.
Orochi greedily accepted the orc’s body.
Jeon Jae-woo was startled.
All eight heads suddenly tore the orc’s corpse into eight pieces in an instant.
Where did such tremendous power come from in such a small body?
More astonishing still was that it then swallowed the orc’s corpse whole in a single gulp.
For a moment, he recalled the illustration from The Little Prince—the snake that swallowed the elephant.
“Myeol-geop. Myeol-geop. Is that okay? Should I let it keep swallowing like that?”
[Well… I don’t know much about the biology of snakes.]
The orc’s corpse was so enormous compared to the young Orochi that it took a long time to consume.
Yet even as it ate, it digested simultaneously, and ultimately swallowed it all.
‘…It’s still a snake, after all.’
Jeon Jae-woo felt a chill, wondering if one day he might become its meal.
Could it be that thing was trying to swallow everything it dug into whole?
Yet here was Orochi, having devoured a beast over a hundred times its own size, wagging its tail as if asking for more.
Scrounging up the corpse of an orc-class monster was easy enough, but still.
“If you want to eat again, how about you have an elixir with it this time?”
“Shhiieee!”
Orochi threw a fit, refusing outright.
‘This creature.’
Jeon Jae-woo found himself remembering his childhood self, stubbornly refusing medicine and putting his parents through such trouble.
“Come on! You can’t just eat meat—you need things like this to grow big and strong!”
“Shhiee! Shhiee!”
“Fine, fine. Not a whole pill—just one piece, all right? Just one piece!”
Orochi thrashed in protest, but eventually, as its master kept insisting, it swallowed the elixir reluctantly.
“There. You ate one piece? Then your second head gets one piece too.”
“Shhiieee??”
Realizing it had been tricked, Orochi pouted.
But those powerful traits Orochi possessed—
With all of them in its possession, Orochi’s grade itself was already at a level that could be considered Transcendent Grade.
Yet as he’d said, none of those traits could be used right now.
Carelessly activating an engine that didn’t fit the body could cost it its life.
“You’ll have to wait until the Divine Beast grows sufficiently, no matter how frustrating it may be.”
“I understand.”
At this point, the corpses Orochi could eat had mostly been stored in the Heaven’s Box or sold to the Hunter Bureau—nothing remained.
In particular, the kinds of corpses a Divine Beast could consume were remarkably few.
‘Should I tell the Hunter Bureau and enter a dungeon? Or should I buy them separately?’
The sheer amount this creature consumed was extraordinary—he’d need to source a tremendous quantity.
Judging by its appetite alone, it seemed like he was raising an elephant Divine Beast, not a serpent.
He’d need to raise the Divine Beast well by feeding it elixirs and meat.
But before that, Jeon Jae-woo himself had to reach Transcendent-grade Trait.
The summons had spoken of the Soul-Infusion Sword Technique, and Jeon Jae-woo continued to train it.
Though considerable time had passed, he still felt no sense of breakthrough.
It was the step beyond S-rank Trait—and it wouldn’t be strange if he never grasped it in a lifetime.
Still, all that flowed through the blade was nothing but his own mana.
He didn’t even know how to perceive a soul, let alone how to channel one into a sword.
But had something changed after Orochi hatched?
—Whooooom.
“…??”
Jeon Jae-woo, who had been infusing mana into the blade, suddenly started in surprise.
The aura of mana flowing through the sword felt different from usual.
‘It’s definitely mana being channeled, but… what is this sense of discord?’
He was supposed to be a singular existence in the universe, yet it felt as though he’d become two.
One was the flesh holding the sword, and the other was the blade coursing with mana.
Myeol-geop, who had been watching Jeon Jae-woo, spoke up suddenly.
[Creator. Congratulations.]
“What?”
[It is still only a minute fragment of a soul, but it appears you have finally channeled it into the blade.]
