"I never expected to meet a monster that speaks," Adam said, his voice calm despite the pressure. His stance remained steady, refusing to show weakness. "Is this some kind of mutation?"
The lich didn't respond.
It didn't even acknowledge the question.
Its hollow gaze remained locked on the egg in Adam's hand. The silence that followed felt heavier than the pressure itself, as if something unseen was tightening around the situation.
Adam noticed immediately.
His eyes narrowed slightly as he followed the lich's line of sight, glancing down at the egg.
It's not looking at me… it's looking at this. The realization came fast, but the reason behind it didn't.
What was so special about it?
Without wasting another second, Adam activated Analyze.
The moment the ability connected, information flooded in, but what he saw made his expression shift instantly. The calm in his eyes cracked, replaced by pure disbelief as the data settled in.
"How… is this possible?"
