Kael watched as the giant snake left its abode. Its massive body slithered forward, moving with surprising speed. Within seconds, it disappeared beyond the horizon. Kael felt a tingling sensation across his body. Back on Earth, it was common knowledge that the larger a snake, the slower it moved—but that clearly didn't apply to this one.
Pulling back slightly, Kael scanned his surroundings. After confirming there were no fierce beasts nearby, he activated his Oblivion Body. Instantly, his presence vanished. His body blended into the darkness, his aura completely erased. His eyes, now resembling endless voids of devouring darkness, seemed like abysses that could never be filled. His strength surged as he disappeared from sight.
Before him lay an egg—massive, nearly five meters in diameter. Kael was stunned, his gaze fixed on it. A deep, rhythmic heartbeat echoed from within.
