The Im Not Main Character
Strange Eggs

Jomungandr pulled back his tail when he saw hundreds— thousands of skulls crawling into a mountain of bones right before him. It was an incredible sight at once disgusting.

At the top of the mountain was a Zegion whose lights lit dark purple.

Seeing that Jomungandr inevitably a little fret. It was not a power that the Lich could reach within a hundred years.

He could find that Zegion did not create it with just pure strength, but the lanterns he carried were also a major factor.

“How did you become a Lich? Who taught you how?”

Jomungandr knew that Zegion could not possibly know how to become a Lich without someone's help. To become a Lich not only requires a lot of collateral, but it requires an ancient magic circle.

‘I think that magic has vanished from the world. But who still knows the circle even the procedure?’

Something that even Jomungandr doesn't know but everyone else knows. That ancient magic should have vanished along with the mysterious Era of Gods. It could be said that the person who knew the magic, might also know about the Era of Gods.

It makes his curiosity excited and hope he has a longer life to be able to know.

“Why is it important for a monster who wants to die to know?” zegion said in a mocking tone.

“You are so confident, yes?” Jomungandr calmly said so.

At that time also the mountain of skull turned into a giant-sized skull that was able to grip Jomungandr. His movements were fast unlike Undead in general.

Jomungandr discovered that Zegion apparently used magic to make the large skull easy to move.

“Don't forget that before I became Lich I was the greatest Wizard!”

Jomungandr did not have as much pride as a dragon. He who was currently clearly unable to fight against Zegion, was not with the deep wounds he had.

‘I have to buy time until he manages to escape.’

Although he failed to save his life, at least Jomungandr has given something valuable to Arcturus Religia.

When he first heard his name, Jomungandr was shocked. He had not expected to meet Arcturus Religia, the young master of the Religious nobility. Religia was the name of a noble who had existed even before he was born.

Among the many nobles, the Religia Family was one that survived the various storms and earthquakes in this world.

‘Just like the Era of Gods, Religion is a mysterious household. It seems that the boy himself knows nothing about his family genealogy.’

Jomungandr didn't plan on saying anything, but he didn't have time to do it anymore.

“What's the last word?” ask Zegion.

Jomungandr began to exert all his strength to attack Zegion.

“The dead should stay dead!”

***

Arcturus continued to fall into the lair of Jomu, where he fell asleep for a long time.

“I will definitely die if I engage in a battle above.”

The vibration reached this place that was underground. Although Arcturus was not an expert on magic yet he could feel the chaos of the Mana waves above at this moment.

“Everything makes sense now. The Goblin King was controlled by Zegion just like any other monster.”

The lich made a lot of mess of it just to give herself space to meet Jomungandr. There is no evidence but Arcturus is convinced that Zegion came for something.

“Serpent who defeated Mad Dog and killed Shin is not Jomu.”

Arcturus does not know about it until Jomu makes a special request to him. He remembered every detail of the previous conversation.

‘Arcturus Religia, I want you to take something in my lair and get out of here as soon as possible.’

Arcturus then furrowed his brows, ‘Why? Although a little but I can help you.’

Arcturus finally stepped on the ground after falling for quite a while. With the help of Ancient Determination it was easy for him to make a safe landing.

“This ... really a nest?”

A large nest is circular in shape with many caves connected to other places on each wall. In the middle of the large nest, there was a clean white egg bathed in moonlight from a small crack in the ceiling.

‘Please bring and take care of that egg. I've been looking after him for half my life. You will get tremendous benefits when you succeed in incubating it. Take good care of him Putra Alam.’

It was Jomungandr's last sentence before forcing Arcturus to go to his lair. Until now he was still upset about being called the Son of Nature, a term he did not know at all.

“Is this the egg? No, he said he's been taking care of her for a long time.”

The serpent did not take that long to hatch its eggs. Even if Jomu was special for being at the peak of evolution, at most it would only take him ten years to hatch his eggs.

Serpent is not a dragon species that takes hundreds or even thousands of years to hatch its eggs.

Arcturus approached him and touched him. His forehead immediately made quite a deep frown.

“This is not a Serpent egg. No, is this really an egg?”

The egg was white but had a faint blue color it was shiny and very smooth like crystal until Arcturus could see the reflection of his face. Not only that, it was half the size of Arcturus' body. It will be hard to carry it.

Arcturus tried to lift it and ended in failure. He had forgotten that his current body was trash.

“It is really useless body if not for its face and background.”

He had forgotten to have been reincarnated into the Religious Arcturus, a trash that does not train the body and only gets drunk and plays women. 

In his previous life he had successfully trained Arcturus' body until he gained physical strength equivalent to his on earth.

But on this occasion he has not done any training.

Arcturus tried to insert the egg into his ring but as expected it did not work.

“This ring cannot keep something alive.”

Eggs may not be a category of living things, but other stories if in the shell already save life.

Turning his brain finally Arcturus found the available options. Although the option is just speculation but not a loss to try.

“Hei, Assassin. Can I use the main skill?”

Assassin refers to The Envy of Assassins. At first Arcturus did not know that the Ancient Determination spoke. He only found out when the Assassin was talking strangely when the Zegion appeared.

•...^^^.No. gabe. You don't have my robe and sword.

“I've expected.”

Ancient Determination, The Envy of Assassins was a great killing power. This is a high level killing skill. All the things Arcturus used so far were not his main potential.

It was a pity that he could not compromise on the main skill. But Arcturus' goal was to make sure the Assassin heard it.

If the Assassin answered it then it was certain that the existence of the assassin remained with the Ancient Determination. 

‘Strength that stores the consciousness of its owner, huh? I learned a lot of things.’

It made her lips smile like a little devil.

“Oh killer, I'll lend you one thing.”

•… ^_____attractive.

Arcturus smiled brightly after hearing the Assassin's slow response.
