Chapter 135 Asmodeus The Wicked
( Meanwhile Nancy )
Ever since Nancy put on the pretend crown on her head, her life has not been easy at all.
Over the last 3 days she had been fighting battles nonstop against fellow dragon clans to protect the life of her child.
The lower ranking dragons tried to sneakily enter her cave in human form to try and steal her baby, however, an alert Nancy sniffed them out and burnt them to ashes.
It had been only 3 days but the burden of the crown on her head felt extremely heavy as she had not caught a wink of sleep in over 80 hours.
' Grow up healthy my child ' she thought as she incubated her egg with her warmth, the small egg that rubbed against her belly provided her with all the strength and courage she needed to fight against the world if need be.
Just as Nancy thought about catching a wink of sleep she once again felt an intruder wander into her cave.
" This cave is too dark, I don't think a dragon would live here ". A dark faction scout murmured to himself as he tried to discern if there were signs of life from inside the dark cave.
There was 0 visibility inside the cave and without any light creating objects or fire producing spells on him, the scout was forced to use his senses other than his eyes to collect information.
Usually there would be a strong stench of blood at the entrance of a cave if a dragon was using it as their base.
This was because unlike lower beasts like wolves and lions who marked their territory with urine and faeces, dragons marked their territory with the blood of their enemies.
Just to be sure, the man used a scan spell, however, his tier 2 spell could never detect a god tier dragon like Nancy.
" I guess nobody is here, '' the man said as he looked around and confirmed that there were indeed no signs of life as he lowered his fly and took out his wiener as he planned to take a leak before going on his way.
*Dragon Breath*
The man had just started to whistle and was waiting for the piss to come out but before a single drop could materialise the man was turned to dust.
Nancy looked angrily towards the man's remains as she laid her head back and closed her eyes.
Initially she had not planned to kill the man and would have let him leave, but she could not tolerate the man taking a leak in her cave in the off-chance that his urine gave her baby any infections.

( Meanwhile Rhea )
The dragon monarch had made her own burrow underground and was unexpectedly sharing an underground cave with an interesting turtle.
The turtle was very peaceful and could look through her red dragon disguise in a glance which meant that his identity was most likely not simple.
However the old turtle made no threats towards her or her baby and continued to live his life in peace, which was why Rhea tolerated his presence around herself.
Although the turtle himself was a vegetarian, he not only brought her prey but also medicinal herbs that would help her recover her internal injuries.
Although Rhea did not understand why the turtle went to such lengths to care for her, she was most grateful for it, because with him taking care of her needs she could lay low underground without the risk of exposing herself to other dragons and the outside world.
Her baby grew stronger and stronger everyday and she could feel incredible vitality coming from inside the egg.
She had sacrificed a large portion of her powers for the baby to be born with fate defying power and abilities and for now it seemed like her efforts would most likely not go to waste.

( Meanwhile Asmodeus )
" Reporting to demon captain Asmodeus, 7/9 scouts have returned, sir, they have possible leads on dragon caves.
2 scouts have not returned sir and are most likely dead in action ". A dark faction soldier said as he reported to Asmodeus.
" Good, dismiss the 7 locations where the scouts returned alive, explore the two areas where the scouts died more aggressively.
If the scouts found a dragon cave and came back alive, it's impossible for that cave to contain the dragon monarch and her egg ". Asmodeus said as he used his wisdom to great effect.
The soldier saluted Asmodeus and quickly relayed his orders, as moments later another soldier entered.
" The scout you sent to find the kids has returned empty handed, he was unable to locate the kids this time ". The soldier reported as Asmodeus frowned deeply
" If he can't even find kids, then there is no point for him to live.
Kill him, make sure he doesn't get paid a single cent when we go out.
How dare he find nothing but still have the courage to show his face back here?
Unacceptable " Asmodeus said as he passed his judgement on the matter.
Although it was only day 1 inside the dungeon, Asmodeus wanted to cut no slack in achieving his two objectives as soon as possible.
While he made some progress on day one as he could now narrow down which direction to focus his efforts on in regards to finding the dragon monarchs egg, the fact that he had no lead on Sebastian and group pissed him off.
" For weeks I was starved and humiliated by your father Sebastian, I'll be damned if I don't atleast torture you and your friends for a few days ". Asmodeus said as he cracked his knuckles in anticipation of the moment when he got his hands on them.
