I Hate Systems

[Non-Attributed Dragon Egg]

[Takes the characteristics of the place it hatches at]

The reason Krager had taken out this trump card, a reward that he obtained just now, was because he was helpless too. Even though he was able to counter Compass Carburettor's abilities to a certain extent, he was also being injured constantly.

The heat from the lava itself was getting through to him, despite the protective layer. It was not to mention the toxic fumes that he had to inhale constantly. There was a limit to the air that was within the four layers of burst element barrier around him.

So, he had to take in the air from the outside. And that not only contained toxic fumes, but also carried the heat from the lava. With every breath he took, his lungs seared while his head spun due to the poison.

He was relying upon his healing ability to expunge the toxic substances and heal himself. But as it continued to happen for a long enough duration, he was unable to hold on.

Even though he was attacking Compass Carburettor with all his might, the other party was like a cockroach, never dying.

During the first time he unleashed the Static Force, he was assured that Compass Carburettor would die. After all, at that time, all the kinetic energy within the Reality Marble had been absorbed by the Static Force that was then channelled into him.

But mysteriously, all he observed was the figure of Compass Carburettor morphing from a human form to a giant form erratically, flickering for a second before everything returned to normal. As everything was covered by that darned blanket of night, Krager was unable to make sense of the situation.

All he came to know was that Compass Carburettor was a dangerous individual. When his trump card failed to deal in the damage, he was already ready to give up. But, he had no means to escape either.

He had also been targeting attacks onto the space that he was trapped within, but no matter what, it hadn't been damaged until now.

And for some reason, his System had been talking to him nonstop. And for the first time, he could feel the emotion that it was experiencing.

Tension! Fear!

It shocked him when countless System notifications resounded in his mind as the Beast Form System directly declared that he had completed practically every single Quest that he had been allotted. It was like him clearing one Quest directly created a chain of rewards and consequences that solved all his Quests.

It baffled him, causing him to feel that something was indeed strange. But, he didn't have the presence of mind to think about that, not now at least. He had to first survive this situation and then bother with the rest.

Besides, he was pretty content with receiving so many rewards that strengthened him to the limit, also giving him many useful skills. And the most special among them all was the egg that he received.

There were plenty of item rewards until now. Some were pretty normal while some were kind of overpowered that allowed him to hunt terrifying mutated beasts and gain their abilities. The mutated beast that he killed recently, one that had been condensed into the ring on his horn was one such example.

It was capable of causing anything it saw to explode. It was a terrifying mutated beast that he spent a lot of hard work to hunt.

And now, upon seeing that he was unable to kill Compass Carburettor, Krager had decided to go all out. That's why he dumped the Non-Attributed Dragon Egg into the sea of lava below.

When it was birthed, it would be immune to everything that was happening in this space. With that, he would be able to escape from this place easily. Or even otherwise, he'll have enough advantage to kill Compass Carburettor.

Upon seeing the egg's appearance, Compass Carburettor paled in fright upon obtaining its information. But, once finished digesting all its information, a certain thought came into his mind.

'Wait, doesn't it take the characteristic of the place it hatches at?' Thinking as such, he took in a deep breath. He stopped accumulating power to unleash his trump card using the Reality Marble.

That was what he had been hoping to kill Krager. Throughout the battle, he had been whittling down the Beast Form System's Mental Energy reserves, creating a qualitative difference between the Mental Energy of the both of them.

This way, he planned to negate its capability to avoid instant death by actuating the peak power of Reality Marble. But now, he had a better idea, thanks to what Krager was attempting.

Thanks to Beast Form System, Krager was able to transform into whatever beast that he killed. So, he was planning to do the same to the Non-Attributed Dragon that would hatch from its egg.

With that, he would become immune to all of Compass Carburettor's attacks, including his trump card. And, through Info Scanner, as he obtained information related to the Non-Attributed Dragon, he was shocked at the Beast Form System's resourcefulness.

After all, the egg it had procured should have been the peak item of a world, the ultimate treasure from there. And, such things were generally expensive, something a Hatchling System shouldn't be able to obtain.

But, thanks to a certain deal he had sealed through Grisha before, he was aware of what happened behind the scenes. The Beast Form System had obtained a lot of Mental Energy to splurge and prepare a trump card.

It was next in line to kill Rhizen and also deal with him. And this was the key to that.

Now that he was aware, he changed his tactics, slowly recalling based on his two trips as he stimulated every sense and Skill that he had attained to date, pouring in all his experience as an ex-System Host and a System Slayer.

He spent a hundred thousand Mental Energy directly, disregarding the insane expenditure as the entire scene within the Reality Marble changed, now resembling a forest.

[Wait, retract the Egg! Stop! Hurry! Take it back!!!]

The Beast Form System screamed in Krager's mind upon seeing what had happened to his surroundings.
