Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!-Chapter 505 The Birth Of A Dragon
-----
Strings of our mana flowed into the egg sitting over the pillow, as the egg began to slowly glow brightly. The invisible protective layer conjured by the child's mother slowly began to dissipate as if it were ashes, while our mana imbued itself into the egg. For a moment, I felt as if a part of my own self went into there, a part of my powers. I didn't felt weakened or anything, but it just felt that way.
I noticed that the string of my mana was pure black, while Lucifer's was blue, Partner was red, Emeraldine was gold, and Brunhild orange. All five colors converged together into one, forming a beautiful yet bizarrely colored rainbow for a few splits of a second.
FLAAASH!
Suddenly, the bright light took us over, as I felt my own consciousness diving across an endless sea of darkness. As I opened my eyes and glanced around my surroundings, I found a beating heart within this darkness.
"This place…"
I heard the voice of Lucifer at my side, and then I not only noticed his presence here, but that of Emeraldine, Partner, and Brunhild here as well. We were all here.
The heart, which seemed frozen in time, began beating slowly, bit by bit, until it started beating faster and faster, rapidly, and constantly. Eventually, it was beating so fast and beautifully that I couldn't help but help shocked.
"It is waking up…" Brunhild said.
"My child…" Lucifer sighed. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝐞𝚠𝚎𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵe𝚕.co𝚖
Suddenly, he held my hand, as he dived across the darkness. Everyone else stayed looking from the distance, as Lucifer brought only me with him.
As we reached the red, beating heart, we noticed a silhouette emerging, in the shape of a small dragon. Our powers flowed into the small creature, as its eyes suddenly opened, shining with bright golden light.
"Ah…" Lucifer looked at his child, as the little dragon suddenly began moving, trying to push through an invisible barrier blocking the little creature's way.
Crack…!
Suddenly, all our surroundings began to crack, as if this darkness was in fact the interior of the egg, and we were all with the baby dragon.
Crack… crack…!
It continued cracking, forming dozens of cracks every passing second, until…
CRASH!
All the darkness within our surroundings finally shattered, crumbling piece by piece.
In that second, we were all transferred into our bodies once more.
What was that?
Could it be that because we gave the dragon part of our power, we were able to suddenly help it wake up?
Nonetheless, the egg was already cracking, and from its interior, and adorable dragon- no, wait a second.
This isn't a dragon!
"Maahh…"
The little cry of a baby resonated from the interior of the egg, as a humanoid child emerged instead of the scaled dragon we saw inside of that vision!
It had a striking similarity to Lucifer's humanoid appearance, with pale white skin, as pale as candlewax, and short black and silver hair. It also had pointy ears that ended with black and purple scales.
There were similar scales around the rest of the baby's body, the legs, arms, neck, chest, and the back had a few scales, it also sported an adorable and long tail, and two tiny wings. It had two small black horns, so small they resembled little dots. And it was a girl.
When she opened her eyes, they shone with bright golden light, as if they were stars…
"Mahh…"
It gave another little cry again. Everyone was left in silence as they saw the baby beginning to cry like a humanoid child would do when they were born. Lucifer and Brunhild were the most impacted as they saw the baby.
"I-it is not a dragon?" Asked Lucifer.
"No, it is, look at the scales… It simply… was born on its Polymorph form?" Brunhild wondered, filled with intrigue.
"But why?" Partner wondered.
"Perhaps we influenced the baby? After all we all infused our mana, and our shape is all humanoid, even you two." Said Emeraldine.
"Well, what's important is that it is healthy and… crying very loudly!" I said, as Lucifer slowly approached his child, quickly holding her with his arms.
"Yeah… I am so happy…" Lucifer smiled, as the baby continued crying out loud, but suddenly as it got closer to Lucifer, she calmed down and looked at her papa.
"Hello… You've been waiting for a while now, haven't you?" He wondered. "What name should I give to you?"
"Grawr!"
The little girl, however, was hungry. She immediately decided to bite Lucifer's clothes, tearing them apart with her sharp teeth.
"Ahahah, you're quite strong! I guess a dragon is a dragon." He said with a smile, kissing her forehead as the little dragon girl continued biting his clothes.
"I think she's hungry…" I said, approaching her.
She suddenly stopped biting Lucifer's clothes and looked at me.
"Hello~" I said, as I slowly approached one of my fingers towards her.
"Maah…" She said, slowly stretching her tiny, scale-covered baby hand and grasping my finger.
Ahhh~ She's so cute! I am literally dying a second time now!
CRACK!
"Ugh?!"
My finger suddenly snaped, she got a lot of strength.
"M-Maria?!" Lucifer asked.
"Ahaha, don't worry, I am a ghost so… I can just do this." I said, as the finger immediately recovered as if nothing happened. My materialized body was phantom I could shape at will after all.
"Muh?!" The baby girl was left shocked by my finger recovering.
CRACK!
And then she snapped it again…
"Ahahah… Y-You're quite the prankster, aren't you?" I sighed, as my finger went back to normal once more.
CRACK!
"Okay, she really likes to break your fingers." Emeraldine said behind me.
"I don't think that's normal baby behavior though…" I sighed. 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺
"It is certainly something that babies don't do…" Brunhild said. "Well, not the humans and demi humans, but dragon babies are very energetic, they like to play around. It is normal for them to begin biting anything they can as long as they hatch, usually the tails of their parents."
And like that, Lucifer's tail was used as a pacifier for the baby.
