Chapter 6: Dark Demon Dragon!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Matthew had gained a little more dark energy on his way home.
When he was about to reach home, the dark energy storage of the Dark Glazed Amethyst had already reached 100%.
Following the system notification, the Dark Glazed Amethyst in Matthew’s arms also changed.
Matthew sensed the peculiarity of the Dark Glazed Amethyst and immediately took it out.
He saw the moss on the Amethyst Crystal begin to fall off, and cracks appeared on the entire stone.
“What happened?”
Matthew bolted for the house.
If the Dark Glazed Amethyst shattered outside, he would probably not be able to find all the fragments in one night.
As he ran, he kept calling the system in his mind.
He hoped the system would give him a reasonable explanation.
Why did the Dark Glazed Amethyst crack?!
However, no matter how he called, the system did not respond.
It was as if everything that had happened before was a dream. He had no system at all.
Only the Dark Glazed Amethyst in his hand and the Dark Demon Dragon Egg at home constantly reminded Matthew that he had a system!
In a hurry, Matthew returned home in tens of seconds.
Bang!
The moment he stepped through the door of the small shed, a shattering sound was heard and the Dark Glazed Amethyst shattered on the ground.
“No!”
Matthew almost threw his head back and howled, but he lowered his voice in fear of disturbing the villagers, considering that it was late at night.
The Dark Glazed Amethyst was a darkness material, and it was also the only darkness material he had which allowed the Dark Demon Dragon egg to hatch.
Now that the Dark Glazed Amethyst was broken, it meant that the Dark Demon Dragon egg could not hatch anytime soon!
But when Matthew looked down, he saw a crystal glowing with dark purple light on the ground.
The crystal was only half the size of his palm, but its image was extremely similar to the Dark Glazed Amethyst depicted in the diagram.
“Could this be the real form of the Dark Glazed Amethyst?”
Matthew bent down and picked up the crystal that glowed with a dark purple light.
The other fragments were like items used to seal the Dark Glazed Amethyst.
“I was wondering why such a treasure had not been discovered for so long. So it was sealed.”
When Matthew saw this, he was enlightened.
The sealed Dark Glazed Amethyst looked no different from an ordinary stone.
If not for the appearance of the system, Matthew would not have discovered its existence.
And now, the Dark Glazed Amethyst had absorbed enough dark energy and finally used its own strength to break through the seal, revealing its true appearance to Matthew.
“It seems like the system is really reliable. It can even find sealed treasures.”
Matthew looked at the Dark Glazed Amethyst with satisfaction, and couldn’t help but praise the system in his heart.
He kept the Dark Glazed Amethyst and took out the Dark Demon Dragon Egg that he had hidden.
“Let the Dark Demon Dragon egg devour the Dark Glazed Amethyst and hatch the Dark Demon Dragon.”
Matthew looked on expectantly.
As for the fact that demonic beasts would attack their master, he wasn’t worried at all.
Previously, the system had already reminded him that when it detected a treasure, it would leave a special mark on it. If the treasure was lost, it could be retrieved. If the egg hatched a creature, it would never betray Matthew.
However, when Matthew took out the Dark Demon Dragon Egg and placed the Dark Glazed Amethyst beside it, there was no reaction.
“What is going on? Why is there no reaction?”
Matthew unintentionally activated the system’s screen again and checked the data of the Dark Glazed Amethyst.
[Dark Glazed Amethyst] Dark Energy Storage Progress: 0%. Can be used to heal, attack enemies, or… Need to spend the stored energy.
“F*ck, when did the stored energy get depleted?”
Matthew was dumbfounded.
When he entered, the Dark Glazed Amethyst’s dark energy storage progress was still 100%.
Now, it has become 0% in the blink of an eye. What exactly happened in the middle?
“Could it be…”
Matthew could not help but stare blankly at the fragments on the ground.
It was something left behind when the Dark Glazed Amethyst broke free from the seal.
Could it be that the depleted dark energy was in these fragments?
Matthew brought the Dark Demon Dragon Egg to the fragments with a suspicious mindset.
Suddenly, there was a change!
The fragments on the ground emitted a dark purple glow before entering the Dark Demon Dragon egg.
Then… nothing happened.
“It’s… over?”
Matthew doubted reality was messing with his mentality.
A moment later, he was about to go forward to take a look, but something strange happened again.
Dark purple lines appeared on the Dark Demon Dragon Egg.
Every line emitted an eerie aura.
It was like something from hell.
At this moment, the Dark Demon Dragon Egg was about forty percent similar to what was recorded in the diagram.
However, the change showed no signs of stopping. The dark purple light was still blooming, and it was getting brighter!
A minute later, dark purple light filled the entire shed.
Under the light, Matthew could still clearly see the transformation of the Dark Demon Dragon Egg.
The lines on its body continued to increase. In just a minute, all the eggshell was covered.
One could vaguely see the pattern of a demonic dragon when all the lines were connected.
At this moment, the Dark Demon Dragon Egg had completely matched the description on the diagram.
Crack! Crack!
A cracking sound could be heard.
A crack appeared on the Dark Demon Dragon egg.
Then, more cracks spread, covering the entire egg.
Badump! Badump!
Matthew could hear a powerful heartbeat coming from within the Dark Demon Dragon egg.
This heartbeat was very intimidating, like the footsteps of a demon stepping into the human world, making people feel very uneasy.
Crack!
The Dark Demon Dragon egg finally cracked open, and the light dissipated.
Matthew stared fixedly at the Dark Demon Dragon egg with anticipation in his eyes.
“Aawoo…”
A small, palm-sized shadow flew out of the eggshell.
Before Matthew could get a good look at it, it had already disappeared from his field of vision.
“Why did it fly away?”
Matthew stared at the broken eggshell, unable to react for a moment.
He questioned the system in his mind. Didn’t it say that the creature that hatched wouldn’t betray him? Why did it turn around and leave?
However, his question was like a stone thrown into the ocean. There was no response from the system.
“Aawoo…”
The next moment, Matthew heard a howl, and something landed on his shoulder.
He turned to look at his shoulder and saw a little fellow smiling at him.
This little fellow had tiny black scales on its body, and its large red eyes had spirituality. Its pair of small wings were very light, and its slender tail looked very cute when it swayed.
“This… is the Dark Demon Dragon?”
Matthew stared at the cute little fellow, unable to connect it with the imperious figure in his mind.
In his mind, the Dark Demon Dragon should have been ten thousand meters long. Its abyssal mouth was terrifying, and its domineering body made the world submit under its feet.
Unexpectedly, after the Dark Demon Dragon egg hatched, it was actually a cute little fellow the size of a palm.
And this little one even howled in response to Matthew.
