Chapter 238: A New Monster (4)
The doors swung open, and a group of Egyptian Special Forces soldiers rushed in.
Phaophator had gathered F Rank Hunters with average mana infusion abilities from all over Africa and trained them into hardened soldiers. The result was an elite group capable of firing mana-infused bullets, tasked with defending Cairo from its enemies.
Phaophator divided them into two groups, naming them the Mut Forces and Khonsu Forces, respectively. Both names were derived from the patron deities of Thebes, and the soldiers took great pride in this.
[Are you alright, your highness?]
[W-What's that?]
[A spider?]
The elite soldiers were shocked upon entering the room. Their prince, Mujahid, and the esteemed guest, Lee Han-Yeol, were accompanied by a creature they had not expected. Her lower body resembled that of a gigantic spider, while her upper body possessed an extremely charming womanly appearance. She was so captivating that even these men, accustomed to seeing Tayarana almost daily, couldn't take their eyes off the spider woman.
Of course, this didn't imply that the spider woman was more beautiful than Tayarana, but the creature undeniably exuded a different kind of charm.
Tia easily sensed the emotions of the elite soldiers who had barged into the room unannounced.
"Hohoho, where are your manners, humans? Hmm... I suppose you would make a good snack," Tia remarked while licking her lips.
Tak...
"H-Hey, control yourself. It would be troublesome if you caused a scene here," Han-Yeol said as he pulled the arachnid back.
Han-Yeol knew that the elite soldiers meant no harm, and no harm should befall them if he wanted to maintain his good relationship with Egypt.
"Omo~ Are you already making a move on me, master? I'm so happy~"
“Ugh...”
"Hoho~ I was just joking. I might be a monster, but I won't do anything that master doesn't want me to."
She was telling the truth.
Tia was a monster born from Han-Yeol's mana, so she was subservient to him. Unfortunately, Han-Yeol was weak against charming women, so she ended up toying with him. She would have been quite a docile and charming monster pet if he had managed to control her from the start, but he completely missed his chance, unfortunately.
Of course, dominating her was not going to be an easy task as she possessed the ability to charm people.
[Your highness?]
[Ah, it's nothing. Hyung-nim just hatched another monster pet, that's all.]
[Is it true?!]
[Yeah, so hurry up and scram.]
[Yes, sir!]
Tak!
The elite soldiers from the Khonsu Forces saluted and left the room. They had already been briefed regarding Han-Yeol’s abilities, so they were aware that he could hatch monster eggs.
As they made their way back to their positions, the elite soldiers chatted among themselves.
[Did you see that?]
[Yeah... That was quite the beauty.]
[I was mesmerized even after seeing she was a half-spider.]
[Exactly, she was so beautiful I couldn’t take my eyes off of her...]
[More than Tayarana-nim?]
[Come on, there’s no way that’s possible.]
[Yeah, I guess you’re right.]
Of course, they ranked Tia lower than Tayarana.
Their loyalty toward Tayarana did not allow them to rank anyone else higher than her, but they would probably have ranked them the same way even if they were not loyal to her. After all, Tayarana was a beauty that nobody in the world could match up to.
***
Tia's birth became known not only to the elite soldiers of the Khonsu Forces but also to the servants working in the palace. Han-Yeol and Mujahid didn't really see the need to keep it a secret, so the news of Tia's birth spread like wildfire throughout the palace as the servants gossiped about Han-Yeol obtaining another mysterious monster as a pet.
Han-Yeol continued to stay in the palace for the time being.
"Kyu!"
"Omo! He's so cute! So, this cute little mini-dragon is my senior? Ah~ I wouldn't mind being his junior~"
“Kyu! Kyu!”
‘Phew... It’s a relief they’re getting along...’?Han-Yeol let out a sigh of relief upon seeing that both of them were getting along quite well.
Mavros looked extremely cute as he tried to act like a senior, and Tia smiled and accepted him as her senior. Han-Yeol was able to relax now that they were getting along just fine.
‘Is it because both of them possess dark attributes?’ he wondered.
Whatever the reason might be, what mattered to him right now was that they were getting along.
Clack... Clack... Clack...?
“What are you thinking about right now, master~?”
“Hiiik!”
Tia sneaked up behind Han-Yeol and hugged him. Her hands slithered all over his body in an extremely sensual manner that would have been inappropriate for kids to watch.
“Ah, it’s nothing.”
“Hmm... It doesn’t seem like nothing, but I won’t pry further.”
“T-Thanks...”
“Don’t mention it, master~”
Seuk...
“Hiiik!”
Tia brushed her hand against something inappropriate while releasing Han-Yeol from the hug, making him squeal again.
It might seem ironic that he was overreacting to a simple touch, considering he had already spent numerous hot nights with Scarlett. However, he didn't have much experience with women in general, so he was sensitive to such indiscriminate touching.
‘I can't really tell if she's human or a beast,’?he thought.
However, what mattered to him was that the monster pet that hatched from the demon egg was powerful. Her personality was not a problem since he could get used to it, but what he really wanted to do right now was to test how strong she was. Unfortunately, that would have to wait.
[It’s time to leave for the Master Rank Hunter Test.]
Tayarana came to pick Han-Yeol up.
[Oh, it’s already that time?]
[Yeah.]
It was shocking that Tayarana would go to the trouble of visiting the palace just to remind him of the test. This was not something she would typically do, not even for Mariam, who was her closest confidante. In fact, she rarely visited her own father, the President of Egypt unless explicitly summoned by him.
But who was Tayarana?
She was the goddess of Egypt and the next in line to rule the country after Phaophator. She already held prestige and honor in the country as an Osiris Rank Hunter, but her recent elevation to a Ra Rank Hunter further solidified her status.
The fact that she made the trip for a commoner from another country was something that would have sent shockwaves across Egypt if politicians had found out about it.
"Omo~ Who is this beautiful unni?" Tia asked.
Tia's innate ability to charm others seemed to have piqued her interest in Tayarana after seeing her immense beauty. Unfortunately, they couldn't communicate due to the language barrier.
[Is this the monster you recently hatched, Han-Yeol?]
