Epic of Vampire Dragon: Reborn As A Vampire Dragon With a System

Chapter 264: Tales

—–

Abyss had just found something inside of her… Well, it was an egg!

And no, it wasn’t her child with Chaos, they had yet to even get to such advanced relationship goals yet. It wasn’t because they couldn’t, but because Chaos was still developing mentally and Abyss wouldn’t feel good if she suddenly forced the one she loved the most to do things he wasn’t prepared for.

Nonetheless, this egg still made all the Saphibian kids around wonder if it was her egg or something, and some even thought it was a new sibling or something.

But of course the Saphibian would never lay such immensely big eggs in their lives, so this was as a massive misunderstanding from their part! Abyss blushed a bit as the kids gathered around the egg, and sighed, thinking they were talking as if she had just given birth, this also made everyone within her party look at her weirdly.

“Mama, did you just gave birth?” asked Erebus.

“Abyss! I didn’t knew you already had a child with Chaos-sama!” said Belphegor.

“Wow! It’s a big egg! My lord’s child looks healthy and… oh, its transparent? I didn’t knew my lord’s child would be a tadpole…” said Boxxy.

“Indeed! What’s going on in here? Abyss, did you had an affair with a frog?!” asked Natalia.

“S-Stop talking nonsense! It wasn’t anything of that regard! H-How can you even imagine such ridiculous scenarios?!” asked Abyss while blushing, as she went back to her original form.

“Well when you literally gave birth in front of us, we can’t really think other things…” sighed Ifrit.

“Okay guys, stop with the jokes, sorry Abyss…” sighed Lilith.

“Ugh, why are you guys so weird sometimes?” sighed Abyss.

“You literally gave birth to a giant tadpole egg, how come that’s not weirder?” asked Edward

“Ah! Okay! Ugh… Let’s forget this entire conversation… Anyways, one of the divine realms of the gods I ate had this thing inside, which ended inside my stomach. I also ended digesting it but I realized it was alive, so I took it out…” said Abyss.

“Oh, so that’s how it is! It is indeed an enormous tadpole! And it is exuding an amazing amount of divinity within it…! Where did they find this creature?” wondered Belphegor, flying around the giant Tadpole inside the egg, as all the kids looked at it curiously.

The giant tadpole was trembling inside the liquid of his egg, looking at everyone with fearful little eyes, as if he was looking at something quite shocking to him. The tadpole released little sounds, as its big black eyes seemed to almost be terrified.

“The tadpole is very scared…”

“Are you okay?”

“You’re bigger than all of us combined!”

“Wow, he’s so big, why is he so scared if we are so small?”

“I don’t know…”

“Well, its obvious! It’s because he’s a baby!”

The kids gathered around the egg and made the little tadpole even more fearful; Abyss and the rest also began to inspect the creature while raising an eyebrow.

And then… everyone realized at the same time what it could truly be.

“Wait a minute…” they all said at the same time.

“EH?!”

CRASH!

However, Nesephise broke the mood right away as she came here looking for the kids, and suddenly ended dropping and breaking the plates she brought with herself, as she looked at the massive egg.

“T-That’s… That’s… a Giant Frog Egg?! Where did you get this?! You can’t have this around! H-How did you got this?!” she asked in horror.

“I… Let me explain…” sighed Abyss.

Abyss then went into an extensive explanation to how this egg even came to be to Nesephise, while also realizing herself and everyone else that this egg was the Giant Frog Egg.

“Perhaps this was why it was so angry, because they stole her egg?” asked Yuki.

“I think the same. Maybe they really stole her poor little egg… Damn, these bastards were really the worst! How can they even steal an egg like that? This is seriously the worst…” sighed Erebus.

“Indeed, if I ever had an egg I wouldn’t want it to be stolen.” Said Boxxy.

“Well, we had stolen eggs from monsters to eat them before, haven’t we? We all got those chickens we usually get eggs from…” said Ifrit.

“Eh? B-But that’s completely different!” said Lilith.

“…” sighed Ifrit.

“Actually, leaving aside empathy or anything of that regard, I think this is very dangerous. Having this egg here means that the mother will be most likely looking for it.” sighed Abyss.

“Indeed! I heard from tales that long ago there was a race of our ancestors named the Frog-kin… the Frog-kin had a big empire where they were living in harmony with nature and at the side of the giant frog… until the day their prince suddenly decided to steal the egg of the giant frog to raise it as a pet… And well, it is said that when he did, the giant frog moved towards their empire and destroyed everything, afterwards, she swallowed everything, including the frog-kin while grabbing back her egg… I think it is said that the prince was spared for some reason, mostly to leave him suffering because he lost everything he had…” said Nesephise.

“That’s quite the tale, but I guess it can be real… That frog is really strong, it swallowed my beloved and that one idiot, and it hasn’t vomited them yet!” said Abyss.

“W-What?! It… did?!” asked Nesephise.

As everyone was gathering around the table eating, with all the children enjoying grilled fish and herbal tea, Abyss revealed this truth to Nesephise.

“Actually… we came here looking for a way to free them. Anything you know would be of use, even if very little.” Said Erebus.

“To release… them? I… I don’t really know, there is no such thing nor tale about the frog ever vomiting something it swallowed. It always eats and never gives it back…” sighed Nesephise.

“Ugh, this is certainly quite a pain… Are you sure there’s nothing?” asked Abyss.

“Hmmm… Maybe the Elder could know something.” said Nesephise.
