Chapter 120: Lion Companion
Iced tea works on unborn magical creatures too. The applications keep expanding.
[The Golden Mane Lion will emerge within hours of receiving mana enhancement. Be prepared for immediate bonding - the creature will imprint on the first being it sees upon hatching. This bond becomes permanent and unbreakable.]
Permanent bonding. That’s both reassuring and terrifying.
[Additionally, the lion’s loyalty will be absolute. It will defend you with its life and grow stronger alongside your own development. Adult Golden Mane Lions can match adept-level practitioners in combat effectiveness.]
Adept-level combat companion. That’s like having a permanent bodyguard who actually wants to protect me.
Noah retrieved a bottle of iced tea from his shelf, noting how the egg seemed to pulse with anticipation as the magical liquid approached.
Even unhatched, it can sense mana enhancement.
He poured the peach-colored tea over the golden shell, watching as the liquid was absorbed instantly. The egg’s internal glow intensified dramatically, and hairline cracks began spreading across its surface.
It’s working. The hatching process is accelerating.
The shell continued fracturing as whatever was inside pushed against its confines with growing strength. Noah positioned himself directly in front of the egg, ensuring he would be the first thing the creature saw.
First contact determines permanent loyalty. Can’t mess this up.
