'It's time to hatch my first Dragon.'
Unlike the Spirit Beast Eggs that Ethan hatched before, the dark blood-colored egg in his hands was different.
Just by holding the Demonic Blood Dragon's Egg, Ethan felt an unusual bloodthirsty aura emanating from it, which was far stronger than any egg he had hatched in the past.
'Is it asking for blood?'
Maybe it was because he bought it from the Interface that it had already formed a bond with him, just like the Celestial Spring Koi before it hatched.
Through that connection, Ethan could tell that it wanted blood.
Normally, all Spirit Beast Eggs require a bit of Spirit Essence or elemental energy to hatch, but this one… it is not a Spirit Beast Egg but a Demonic Blood Dragon's Egg.
So, Ethan was not surprised that it demanded blood.
'Let's feed it some.'
Soon, Ethan placed his hand on the dark red egg and let a few drops of his own blood seep into it.
'T-this… it's absorbing it so fast?'
The moment the blood drops fell onto the egg, it was instantly absorbed by the egg, shocking Ethan.
Once it absorbed a dozen or so blood drops, the dark red patterns on the egg's shell glowed with a deep crimson hue.
It still didn't show any signs of cracking or hatching; instead, it demanded more blood.
'So, it needs more blood to hatch, huh?'
Ethan's eyes flickered as he thought about it for a moment before deciding, 'Let's go all out and see what happens.'
He decided to supply as much blood as possible to the Demonic Blood Dragon Egg and hatch it.
Since the Small Courtyard had formations, he was not worried even if there were any phenomena like a Blood Pool or Dragon Roars.
As for the blood, Ethan had storage rings that were filled with hundreds of thousands of corpses.
Back in the Berserk Beast Realm, with Primor's help, Ethan killed so many Demonic Blood Beasts that were born from the Demonic Blood Dragon's corpse.
For the [Beast Extermination Trial], Ethan had submitted less than 20,000 corpses.
As for the remaining corpses, Ethan stored them in the storage rings he got from killing the Hermit Tribesmen because he planned to give them to his Night Demons who could refine both Demonic Energy and Blood Energy.
'Using them to hatch the Demonic Blood Dragon's Egg might be the right choice.'
Since those creatures were born from the Demonic Blood Dragon's corpse, they were good nourishment for the Demonic Blood Dragon's Egg.
With that thought in mind, Ethan wasted no time taking out one after another the corpses of Demonic Blood Bats, Demonic Blood Wolves, Blood Serpents, Blood Vultures, and other Berserk Beasts he had slain in the Berserk Beast Realm and threw them onto the floor.
"Are these enough for you, or should I bring out more?"
As if responding to his words, the egg trembled for a moment before drying up the pile of corpses at an astonishing rate!
Once the blood from the corpses was devoured, they were turned into dust.
The thick scent of blood filled the air as every last drop of blood essence from the corpses was forcefully devoured, forming thin streams of dark red energy that surged toward the egg.
The moment all the blood was drained, the egg suddenly cracked.
In the next second, a low growl echoed from within the egg as the cracks spread rapidly.
The cracks on the egg spread as the shell burst apart, revealing the creature inside, which was a tiny red-coloured dragon no bigger than a wolf pup.
Although the Spirit Beasts he hatched in the past were cute, Ethan was expecting a scary appearance from the Demonic Blood Dragonling.
However, to his surprise, it was very cute and looked innocent with its large black dragon eyes.
It checked its surroundings first before flapping its tiny wings to fly.
However, it had just hatched and didn't have enough strength to fly. So, it fell continuously.
"You want to fly already?"
Ethan was surprised and wanted to help it, but it growled at him as though it didn't want any help.
After struggling for a few minutes, it finally achieved its first flight, and it excitedly flew onto Ethan's shoulder and rubbed its head against Ethan's neck.
Ethan was speechless at its actions, but at the same time, it made him smile.
'Let's see its information.'
Ethan was curious about it not because it was a Demonic Blood Dragon; instead, he had high hopes for it after feeding it with nearly 20 percent of the Demonic Blood Beast corpses' blood.
Thus, he took it into his hands to check its full information using his Special Talent.
[Primal Beast Sovereign]
[Demonic Beast Name: Blood Dragon]
[Demonic Skills: Blood Bite, Blood Regeneration, Demonic Dragon Claw, Bloody Wings]
[Demonic Talent: Blood Devouring]
[Potential: Rank 9 and above]
[Information: The Demonic Blood Dragon is one of the rarest dragon species, feared by both humans and beasts due to its blood-based powers. Even in its death, it causes disasters in the world.]
'What? It is a Rank 4 Demonic Beast from the moment it was born?'
Ethan was expecting it to have some strength, but he didn't expect it to be born with Rank 4 Strength.
Right now, it already had the same strength as Ethan, and it had just been born.
'Once it reaches the peak of Rank 4, I can feed it a Dragonheart Lotus and help it become a Rank 5 Demonic Beast, an entity that even sects have to be careful about.'
Ethan was excited for that day as he checked its skills, which were quite powerful.
[Blood Devouring] was an innate talent of the Demonic Blood Dragons. So, Ethan was not surprised about it, and even the potential of the dragonling didn't surprise Ethan.
'An existence that is not only feared when it is alive but even in its death… that is the Demonic Blood Dragon.'
Ethan felt his hair stand when he fully read the information on the Demonic Blood Dragon as he thought of the powerful yet simple name, 'I will call you...'
