"Only 3 minutes left Kali, do you have a name for her?" The egg continued to grow until it was even bigger than Kali. Alex estimated that the egg was probably around 5ft tall, so it was pretty fuckin massive.

"Mmmm, I was thinking about Antony but I want to wait until she hatches." Kali was deep in thought, she was trying her best to think of names but nothing stuck for her. In the end, she just decided to wait until the egg hatched.

"Alright, we can think of names once she hatches. Here, sit down right there. You want some popcorn or sandwiches." Bringing out a couch he bought from the [Shop], he and Kali were relaxing and waiting until the egg hatched.

Sadly their time together was ruined as a notification appeared.

"Motherfu–... Funner, Hey... Kali, just wait here for a moment. Let me bring Oqikku and Giz here." Alex formed a portal and brought Orlu's wife, Oqikku, and his son, Giz. But thinking for a moment, Alex decided it was best to temporarily evacuate the children and seniors, just to keep them safe while a raid was going on.

With the ability to form portals anywhere in his Dungeon, and a quick snap of his fingers, the almost empty room was quickly filled up. Thankfully there was enough room for everyone. So giving them a quick explanation and warning all of the warriors on the first floor. Everyone quickly got ready for battle.

— Intruders POV's

"Hey Aiwin, are you sure we shouldn't report this dungeon to the Guild? I know the compass says that there's barely any magic power, but it's a dimensional dungeon. I think it's too dangerous for us." A male orc said as he carefully looked around. He held his Warhammer tightly as he started to revolve some mana throughout his body. 

"Just trust me, I've been using this compass for months and it hasn't failed me once. Our group should easily rush through this dungeon. Plus, imagine all the loot we can get, this dungeon wasn't even on the map, meaning no one had looted this dungeon" Aiwin was blinded with greed and overconfidence in himself and his companions. With the mana compass in his hand giving a low reading for the dungeon, it made him more arrogant.

"Alright Captain, but let's take a break after this dive, I have a meeting with a cute elf girl at the pub. And come on Rab, I thought you Orcs are fearless" A male wolf demi-human named Osmont said, making fun of his friend. 

"Ah shut up Osmont, this's just my first time in one of these dungeons. Plus isn't weird that nothing appeared yet." Rab said, feeling that something was wrong. 

Aiwin just shook his head and sighed, "Cecilia, please do your thing"

Osmont's sister, Cecilia, who's the same as her brother. Just sighed as she brought out a blue core the size of a golf ball from her backpack and laid it on her palm. If we were to look at her palm, we would see a miniature image of a crow tattooed on her palm. 

"Smokey, please answer my call and help guide us through this dungeon" Cecilia's palm started to glow pink for a bit but nothing happened. "Fine you bastard, you can have the other one too." Cecilia angrily said as her familiar was a greedy bastard that only wanted to eat. 

Though nobody else in the group could hear who Cecilia was talking to, they knew who caused her to be angry.

With 2 blue cores on her palm, the crow tattoo glowed bright pink as an actual dark pink color crow appeared from pink smoke on top of Cecilia's head.

"CAW. The great SMOKEY, at your service!" Giving a little bow, Smokey looked around happily. But that changed as she practically felt no mana in the air at all. 

"Boo, SMOKEY thinks this place sucks." Letting her feelings be known, she flapped to her favorite spot whenever she was summoned. 

What's her favorite spot? Well, it's right dab on Nera's large breasts. Nera, just your normal human, was the party healer. Though it was a bit awkward, she didn't mind the crow resting on her, in fact, she thought it was cute. 

Though Cecilia didn't think that, she quickly grabbed the annoying crow by its head and gave it some orders.

"You perverted crow, this is why I don't like summoning you. Just scout this floor for us." Shaking Smokey, Cecilia threw the perverted crow up high and sat down on the floor.

One of the powers Cecilia had with her familiar, was seeing through its eyes. Which was really helpful whenever they had to scout somewhere. The only problem was that Cecilia was left defenseless, but that can be mitigated when she has her friends to protect her. 

"Hey Kenton, I want you to do some scouting too. Just make sure that there are no traps prepared for us." Aiwin orders their party ranger, a male cat demi-human named Kenton. 

Not much of a talker, Kenton just nodded his head as he dashed towards the trees that were in front of them. A bow ready in his hand, ready to shoot down anything in his way.

"Barmir, I want you in front. Have your shield ready, I know I said we should be able to conquer this dungeon easily, something just feels wrong." Aiwin said to a male dwarf. Who merely said "Aye captain" tired and ready to go home.

Anyway back to Smokey, we can see her flying through the air, looking at all the trees, grass, and creatures below, ya know, normal swamp things. Just as she was about to turn back, Cecilia quickly stopped her. 

"Wait, turn left… Is that… a Village? Get closer, I want to see more." Although this annoyed the great SMOKEY, she followed Cecilia's order as she didn't want to deal with her nagging. 

"Hey guys, there's a village maybe 2 miles away from us. Smokey is getting closer right now so let's stay here for a bit longer." Cecilia opened her eyes and told her companions what she found. But as she closed her eyes and tried to connect her senses with Smokey, she felt nothing.

Cecilia's brow furrowed as she tried again, focusing her energy on reconnecting with Smokey's senses. But once more, she found herself met with a strange silence, a complete disconnect. 

Opening her eyes, Cecilia turned to her companions, her expression now mixed with worry and confusion.

"Something's wrong," she murmured, almost to herself. "I can't sense Smokey anymore… It's like… like something's blocking our connection."

— Back to Alex

"Fetch Absol" Alex ordered his hawk, as it flew up high above the clouds. 

With his amazing eyesight, Alex was able to spot a… pink crow? Yeah, he didn't know why there was a pink crow but since it wasn't part of his dungeon, he was going to kill it. Actually, he might try and convert the crow to become part of his dungeon. 

[We'll see] Alex thought to himself as he watched his hawk dive directly on the crow. Surprisingly, Absol made quick work of the crow and managed to kill it. 

Sticking out his arm, Absol flapped to Alex's arm as the corpse it carried slowly dissipated into pink dust

"The Fuck? Alexa, why did Crow get Thanos snapped?" Alex wanted the crow's body as he was thinking of giving some of its feathers to Kali, but it just turned to dust, there wasn't even a beast core. Nothing was left, and all he got from Alexa was, [Reason Unknown] 

Alex just shook his head as he watched his crocs overwhelm a cat person, Kenton, who was wielding a bow. Although Kenton managed to fire some arrows into his Crocs, their tough scales managed to stop the arrows from hitting their flesh. 

Kenton darted between the crocodile men, his reflexes sharp enough to dodge each powerful strike. But no matter how fast he moved, their numbers were overwhelming. They closed in on him from all sides, their heavy footsteps and snarling jaws making escape seem nearly impossible. With large clubs coming from each direction, he was quickly getting tired out.

He managed to duck beneath a swipe from one of them, only to find another lunging toward him from behind, forcing him to twist and leap to avoid the snapping jaws. With every dodge, the space around him grew tighter, and he knew he couldn't keep this up forever.

In a desperate bid to escape, Kenton leaped toward one of the crocodile men, aiming to use it as a springboard. Just as he was about to make contact, a black shadow entered his peripheral vision, closing in fast. Instinctively, he swung his bow, hoping to deflect whatever was coming his way, but it was too late.

A piercing pain shot through Kenton's arm as a panther's powerful jaws clamped down, its fangs digging deep into his flesh. The force of the bite sent him crashing to the ground, the weight of the panther pinning him as he struggled beneath it.

Kenton tried to reach for a hidden dagger with his free arm, but he suddenly felt an iron grip seize his wrist, halting him mid-motion. He looked up to see a towering figure, a white-scaled dragon man with intense, unblinking eyes. The dragon man's grip was firm, radiating strength that far surpassed Kenton's own.

The dragon man leaned down, his gaze cold and assessing. Kenton felt a shiver run down his spine, realizing that any struggle might be futile against this man. The panther's grip on his other arm remained, trapping him completely.

Kenton felt the panther let go of his arm as the dragon man lifted him up high with ease. The dragon man's booming voice echoed around him, unknown to him, but filled with authority, stirred the crocodile men to a frenzied response. Their jaws snapped open, teeth gleaming under the sun, and they let out guttural roars that reverberated through the dense swampy forest, their eyes blazing with barely restrained fury.

With a roar, the dragon man grabbed his other arm and pulled in 2 different directions. Kenton's scream tore through the air, a raw, desperate sound as the dragon man pulled with merciless strength. He felt the fiery agony of his shoulders dislocating, the bones grinding and the muscles stretching past their limits. His vision blurred from the pain, and his body went limp, barely able to process the brutal tearing as his skin and muscles were pulled apart.

Right next to Orlu's little show, Alex watched the entire process with no emotion in his eyes. He didn't care, that a man was brutally pulled apart, he only wanted to go back with Kali and watch the egg hatch.

Thanks for reading

Comment on any mistakes or changes I should make.

The reason I called Orlu, a Dragon man in Kenton's POV, was that Orlu reminded Kenton of Dragons, rather than something he doesn't even know about, aka dinosaurs.

Next chapter will be about Orlu past.
