In the underground palace in the ocean between the demon and human continents, the golden snake, that was no longer tiny, having grown to a meter long in size, suddenly shook and slowly opened its deep black eyes that shone with intelligence as it moved its scaly head and looked around.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
A moment later, its scales started cracking and falling to the side, and new and sturdier scales started growing. If someone could see it now, they would notice that two small legs that ended with five claws were also growing along with scaly wings on the upper part of its body.
After all the old scales had fallen off its body and new ones grew, they also started cracking and falling. Then again, new scales, more lustrous and robust than the previous ones, started growing. This cycle kept repeating itself, and only after nine days did it stop.
