The Hidden Extra: The Lazy Prince Refuses to Ascend The Throne - Chapter 466

Chapter 466: Stealing the Dragon Egg
“An egg?” Nolan was surprised.

He furrowed his brow but continued walking calmly.

The space was vast, though not as large as the one where the white dragon resided.

Moreover, the area was extremely hot. Nolan didn’t know the exact temperature in Celsius, but if an ordinary person entered this place, they would surely be burned instantly.

That wasn’t surprising. An egg—whether a dragon’s egg or even a chicken’s egg—needed a warm place for the fetus inside to survive.

The laws of biology still applied, even in this fantasy world.

Nolan observed his surroundings. The area was filled with blue magic crystals, much like the previous place.

However, these crystals seemed brighter than before.

‘Could it be that the dragon was using these crystals to heat this place?’

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, it made sense.

Otherwise, where could such intense heat have come from?

Nolan finally stopped in front of the egg. It was quite small—only about one and a half meters tall.

It was pale white, with black patterns covering its surface.

Resting inside a nest made of carefully carved rattan, it was conspicuous and impossible to ignore.

“So that’s it. Now I understand why the white dragon guarded this place so closely. It all has to do with the egg,” Nolan muttered with a small chuckle.

There were two reasons the dragon still refused to leave, even after Glarvic tried to drive it away.

The climate suited ice dragons, and the dragon egg was right here.

In addition, Nolan had another guess as to why the dragon had appeared in this place.

It was possible that in its original habitat, the white dragon had come into conflict with other dragons, forcing it to move elsewhere.

After all, conflicts between dragons were common, especially over territory.

“If I take this egg, will the dragon go on a rampage?”

Nolan rubbed his chin, as if considering doing something bad.

Frankly, the white dragon posed no threat to him.

Even if it became a catastrophe-level dragon, it would still be useless.

With the black hole he could summon, Nolan could reduce even two catastrophe-level dragons to ashes.

After pondering for a while, Nolan dismissed the thought.

“Alright, don’t go looking for trouble. It’s better to live peacefully.”

He didn’t want to take care of a dragon. It would be a hassle, and he didn’t even know how.

Shaking his head, Nolan turned and left. However, before he had taken ten steps, a violent tremor spread throughout the cave.

Nolan was startled and quickly looked around.

“An enemy attack? Could it be that the Tower Master has finally made his move?”

The Tower Master was Jisha’s mentor and the leader of the Tower of Silence.

According to the information he had received from Cassiopeia, the Tower Master had arrived a few days earlier to help Glarvic deal with the white dragon.

Unfortunately, the white dragon had created such a powerful shield that even the Tower Master couldn’t break through it.

Just moments ago, he had felt the magical barrier protecting the cave weaken. Most likely, it was Sylvia’s doing.

Because of that, he had guessed the woman would appear.

What he hadn’t expected was that she would come sooner than predicted.

“A battle is about to break out. It seems I’ll have to watch from afar,” Nolan muttered inwardly.

Just as he was about to open a portal, the cave shook once more.

Sharp fragments of the cave ceiling swayed, then fell straight toward the egg.

Seeing this, Nolan extended his hand to the side, and everything instantly shattered into pieces.

Then, with a determined look, he clenched his palm.

In an instant, a black hole appeared beside the egg and swallowed it whole.

Nolan opened a portal and disappeared into it.

Meanwhile, outside the cave, Sylvia continued casting powerful spells in an attempt to force the White Dragon out.

Unfortunately, the dragon still didn’t appear, which irritated her.

“The dragon must still be hibernating. If I don’t destroy this cave, it won’t come out,” she muttered.

Without hesitation, she clenched her right palm. In the next moment, black clouds gathered, covering the sky within a two-hundred-meter radius.

She opened her palm and slowly lowered her index finger.

“Lightning of Annihilation,” she whispered coldly.

Whoosh…

Hundreds of black lightning bolts appeared, intertwining until they formed a dragon hundreds of meters long.

Roar!

The lightning dragon released a deafening roar.

Then, moving at terrifying speed, it plunged downward and crashed into the cave.

Boom!

Lightning spread in all directions within a five-hundred-meter radius.

The surrounding trees instantly turned to ash, while the snow blanketing the area melted away.

Fortunately, Jisha had cast a protective spell around herself and Olivia.

Because of that, both of them remained safe from the attack.

Black smoke billowed and spread in all directions.

After a while, the smoke subsided and finally disappeared.

Jisha and Olivia looked up to see that the cave had been reduced to rubble.

The sight was so terrifying that Jisha swallowed hard.

‘In the future, I mustn’t mess with Master again. Otherwise, it won’t be the cave that gets destroyed—it’ll be me!’

In contrast, Olivia looked utterly amazed.

‘Is that the Master’s power? That’s incredible! If I could become like that in the future, I’d definitely be able to protect my kingdom, right?’

The thought strengthened her determination to learn.

“Woaa! What amazing magic! Is that the power of the Tower Master, Sylvia?”

From a distance, Nolan stared at the scene in amazement.

It had to be admitted—Sylvia’s power was terrifying. She stood at the peak among the Celestial Mages of this continent, her strength not inferior to the masters of the Academy of Fallen Stars.

“But unfortunately…” Nolan sighed softly and shook his head. “The White Dragon is extremely powerful. It seems impossible for Sylvia to defeat it without suffering any injuries.”

Compared to Cassiopeia and Draco, Sylvia was clearly a level above them.

However, one thing Sylvia lacked was the support of other Celestial Mages.

As he had said earlier, the White Dragon possessed power equivalent to two or even three Celestial Mages.

If Cassiopeia and Draco intervened, the two of them could work together to suppress it.

Sylvia, however, was different. Even so, Nolan couldn’t accurately predict the final outcome.

After all, Sylvia was well known across the continent.

Who knew what surprises she still had hidden?

As Nolan was lost in thought, the ground beneath him suddenly trembled.

And then—

Boom!

An explosion erupted from the ruins of the cave where the White Dragon had been hibernating.

In the next instant, the White Dragon burst out, lifting its massive head high.

Roar!
