Chapter 460: Luna

After hearing the report of the soldier that Brod had sent, Minhyuk hurried after the soldier. It was not just him; Genie and Locke also followed right behind them after hearing the news.

When they arrived, they were left reeling in shock, “A legend upon hatching…?”

They already knew that the egg was the egg of a dragon, but what they did not expect was the fact that it would be a legend the moment it hatched. That was very shocking.

“It must have been a very unusual egg,” Brod, who ‘picked’ up the egg, remarked. It was as if he also did not expect this to happen. The egg was still surrounded and covered by the red stream of air. Then…

Shwaaaaaaaaa—

The egg split in two as the red stream of air shot up to the skies. This was immediately followed by a set of notifications.

[A red dragon that has inherited the blood of the king has been born to the world.]

[The current Dragon Lord has declared that the child born from this egg would become the most powerful and greatest lord in the history of dragon kind.]

[The red dragon that inherited the blood of the king has infinite potential.]

[The newly hatched red dragon will recognize you as her ‘parent’ the moment she opens her eyes.]

“The, the blood of a king?!”

“Did, did it just say Dragon Lord?!!!”

All of them were flabbergasted.

The newly hatched egg can become a Dragon Lord?! And, according to the notifications,?it will?even become the most powerful and greatest lord in history?!

While everyone was still reeling from their shock, the newly hatched dragon wriggled and twitched inside the egg shell.

“The newly hatched dragon will recognize her parent the moment she opens her eyes…”

“Who should be the dragon’s parent?”

There were a total of five people present here, Brod, Genie, Locke, Elpis, and Minhyuk. As they discussed the dragon’s parent, Brod was shocked when he looked at the little dragon.

‘Unbelievable…’

It was because the little dragon was looking at one person, and one person alone, from the moment she opened her eyes. This person was none other than Minhyuk.

‘Did she recognize His Majesty because she knew that he would become the greatest…?’

It seemed as though the dragon knew whose child she was supposed to be the moment she was born. The red dragon’s eyes, which were still soft around the edges and were surrounded by some soft red scales and a bit of mucus, shone brightly and intelligently.

[She has started to recognize Player Minhyuk as her parent.]

[Please give the child a name.]

Minhyuk, who suddenly became a parent, was flustered. The situation was like someone appearing in front of him and saying, ‘Hey, you. You be my dad!’?The people present all edged slowly towards the egg which allowed them to look closely at the little dragon’s appearance.

Unlike an ordinary human child, the little dragon already had a full set of teeth and a pair of tiny wings. The little dragon’s eyes were also very round and big, big enough to cover half of her face. Whenever she blinked, she reminded them of that cat in the film Shriek.

The person that was extremely thrilled to meet this cute creature was none other than Locke.

He exclaimed, “Ka, Kawaii…!”

Contrary to his looks, Locke was very fond of cute animals like cats and dogs. It was evident by how much he cherished and cared for Love, Hope and Happiness. However, the moment Locke stretched his hand out to touch the little dragon’s head…

“Kkiiiiiiiiik!” The hatchling screeched, her body shuddering from dislike.

“…?”

Locke tilted his head in confusion as he watched Genie poke the cute little dragon in the cheeks.

“So soft!”

“Hiyeeee~” The hatchling cried happily at Genie’s touch.

“Pre… tty…” Elpis murmured, smiling softly as he caressed the hatchling’s head. The hatchling twisted her body in delight as she cried, “Hiyeee~”

Ahem. It’s cute,” Brod said, smiling happily when the little dragon turned to look at him.

When the hatchling looked at Minhyuk, her eyes sparkled more brightly than when she looked at them. When Locke tried to reach his hand out again…

“Kkiiiiiiiiik!” The hatchling screeched once again, before twisting her trembling body away from Locke’s reach.

“…”

“…”

“…”

“…”

At that moment, everyone realized that the little dragon was doing that because of Locke’s face! This was lookism at its finest!

Locke’s face, which was already large to begin with, was a face that even a newly hatched dragon recognized as something scary. It was only natural that the little dragon felt shocked when he looked down on her. Realizing this, Locke took a few steps back away.

“What name should I give her?” Minhyuk asked worriedly as he hugged the hatchling to his chest. He looked down at the child wriggling in his hold and felt as if there was something familiar about her.

“Volcano…?”

“…”

“…”

“Or maybe, Red Combo?”

“…”

“…”

“…”

“If it’s not Volcano or Red Combo, then what?”

Genie sighed when she heard Brod’s words.

“Then, Seasoned Chicken as a name?”

“…”

Brod was very shocked when he realized the true extent of Minhyuk’s bad naming sense. Not too long ago, he sounded as if he was the master of naming when he declared the name of their kingdom as ‘Beyond the Heavens’, but it seemed like his disease suddenly came back!

“Seasoned Chicken, or maybe Capsaicin? These two seem to be okay…?”

My goodness!!! He’s going to name the red dragon that might become the greatest dragon of all time ‘Volcano’, ‘Red Combo’, ‘Seasoned Chicken’ or even ‘Capsaicin’?!’

Genie felt nervous. Was Minhyuk really going to name the dragon Volcano?

First name Volcano, last name Chicken… What’s my name? Yeah. My Name’s Chicken Volcano~

Then, Minhyuk suddenly looked down at the hatchling again. He saw the little dragon’s big round eyes that covered almost half of her face, as she touched Minhyuk’s fingers with her small paws. Her eyes that were filled with faith and trust in him reflected his figure.

‘Looks a bit stupid.’

Minhyuk, because of his eating addiction, could not control his desire for food. There were plenty of times when he tried to slap himself awake and break out from this quagmire. But no matter what he did, he could not break free. And right now, the figure that was reflected in the eyes of the child in his arms was making him feel self-conscious. Her yellow eyes should have looked scary and strange to them, but it did not look like that at all. Rather than scary, her eyes seemed to shine beautifully as they illuminated his figure.

“Luna.”

It was a Latin word that meant ‘moon’.

“Be the moonlight that illuminates the dark road ahead.”

The hatchling was clearly a female judging by her appearance. And the name that Minhyuk gave her, along with its meaning, matched the child’s beautiful and wonderful eyes perfectly.

“Hiyeeeeee~” The child cried softly as she wriggled in his arms happily. It seemed like she was in a very good mood. Then, Minhyuk heard the notifications.

[The hatchling really likes the name ‘Luna’.]

[Would you like to name her ‘Luna’?]

“Yeah.”

[You have named the hatchling, ‘Luna’.]

Minhyuk immediately checked Luna’s stats window.

‘…That’s amazing,’?Minhyuk thought as he blinked blankly at the laughing Luna in his arms. She might be crying ‘Hiyeeeee~’ cutely but the power that she was wielding was completely beyond anyone’s common sense. However, it seemed like he still had to teach Luna a lot of things, including manners and etiquette. Still, he looked at Luna happily.

Meanwhile, Locke, who was standing fifteen meters away from Luna, looked at her with sparkling eyes and thought, ‘So, so cute…’ but when he realized that he could only peek at her from a distance, he could not help but cry as he looked up at the sky.

“Mom and dad said that I was the most handsome person in the world though…”

Today, Locke realized that his mom and dad lied to him.

***

Bracard’s Lair in the American Server.

Not too long ago, the Lord’s egg had been stolen right under Bracard’s nose. The current Dragon Lord had ordered them to find the previous Dragon Lord’s egg and everyone was working hard to follow this order. However, there was also another man that was looking for the Dragon Lord’s egg, the cause of the shocking scene right now.

Bracard had lost both of his wings and his body was filled with cuts. The pain of losing his wings was enough to make him writhe on the ground. Then, the man, who was also looking for the Lord’s egg, stood in front of Bracard and gripped his face tightly. The man was wearing a skeleton mask and a black robe.

“The Lord’s egg… has been stolen…”

The man brooded over the words that Bracard uttered. This man was none other than Akhan, the Crazy Tyrant who dreamt of bringing Athenae down. He was a relatively unknown player that was famous for his shocking and powerful summons. He was also the same person that tried to make a mess out of Asgan Continent by forcing Black Dragon Vormon into a frenzied state. But right now, he was able to easily overpower Bracard.

Among the dragons, Bracard was hailed as a ‘knight’ because he was the most powerful among all of the dragons in existence. If it was based on the humans’ rankings, then he would be comparable to the ‘Sword Saint’ in terms of power. However, he could not leave a single scratch on Crazy Tyrant Akhan’s body at all.

‘The Dragon Lord’s egg is something that I need,’?Akhan thought, his face that was hidden behind his mask turning ugly.

The Lord’s egg was like a double-edged sword. The life that the dragon that hatched from this egg would lead would differ depending on who raised it. Akhan had learned about the Lord’s egg through one of his ‘quests’ and immediately came here to take it away. He intended to cultivate the egg with wickedness and evil and plant only murderous intent and destructive thoughts so it would only live to kill.

Akhan thought that raising the dragon like that would contribute greatly to Athenae’s collapse. That was right. Akhan might be a player but he could create new episodes in Athenae and bring them ‘despair’.

“Who was it?”

“Die!!! I won’t say anything to you!”

At the very least, Bracard thought that Akhan should not get his hands on the egg. Bracard believed that the egg would become the most vicious and evil existence in history if the egg was born under the care of this man in front of him. Akhan smirked, the skeleton mask covering his face also twisting into an eerie smile.

Then, streams of energy stretched out from the tips of Akhan’s fingers as he touched Bracard’s head. The energy dug through Bracard’s thick scales and went through his memories which appeared as a list in front of Akhan.

[The one that stole the Dragon Lord’s egg.]

[He uses the Mercenary Swordsmanship.]

[Red wolves were released from his sword.]

[A tall man.]

“…A mercenary?” Akhan could not believe it. Were they telling him that the one that stole the Dragon Lord’s egg from Bracard’s Lair was just a human mercenary?

But not long after, someone crossed his mind. This someone was the man that Akhan saw in the video of the battle between Barras Kingdom and Let’s Eat Sect. The man was tall, used the Mercenary Swordsmanship and released red wolves from his sword.

“…It’s that bastard again?” A deep smile curled at the corners of Akhan’s mouth.

“Hurry up and kill meeee!!!” Bracard shouted. But before he could even pull Akhan’s fingers deeper into his head, his yellow eyes suddenly turned black.

“I swear… my… eternal… loyalty… to… Crazy Tyrant… Akhan…”

“It seems like I have to go to the Korean Server.”

Just like that, Athenae’s greatest ‘disaster’ was now slowly making his way towards Beyond the Heavens Kingdom.
