The Goddess Granted Me the [Hatching] Skill and Somehow I Became the Strongest Tamer, Commanding Mythical and Divine Beasts - 26

In the Tamer Guild’s library, we were researching the ecological records and materials of various monsters.

It had been two days since Purple’s condition changed, and we had taken only brief breaks while searching for clues.

The guild staff seemed to be at their limit, their expressions dim and their hair lacking luster.

Feni was sitting beside Purple, watching over her.

Perhaps sensing my worry for Purple, Feni remained quietly observant without a word of complaint.

“Ah, this is hopeless. I’m reaching my limit. I’d like to take a bath soon.”

Prompted by the guild staff’s comment, everyone present agreed.

“Yes, if only we could at least wash off the sweat.”

“My clothes are dirty too; I’d like to feel refreshed.”

As concentration waned, everyone started expressing such thoughts.

“Hmm, it might be a good idea to take a break for now?”

The staff member sought my agreement. Indeed, given that we hadn’t made any progress despite all the research, taking a break somewhere was necessary.

Though time was precious, rushing wouldn’t change Purple’s condition. As I was contemplating this…

‘Pii?’

“What’s wrong, Feni?”

Feni raised her head and fluttered into the air.

“Beautiful wings.”

She elegantly flew around the library, sprinkling orange powder around.

“Is this falling down fire powder? It’s not hot at all, though.”

“It feels… really nice?”

The fire powder, initially sparse, increased with each flap of Feni’s wings, falling from above and filling our field of vision.

“Klaus! What is Feni doing!?”

The panicked staff member approached me, worried that the orange powder filling the room might burn the documents.

“No, it’s alright. It seems Feni heard everyone’s voices and is trying to be considerate.”

Gradually, there was a change in everyone’s appearance.

“What’s this? The dirt is evaporating.”

“The sweat where the fire powder touched is being removed, making me feel refreshed.”

“Look, even the stains on the desk are disappearing.”

“Everyone, please calm down. This is Feni’s unique skill, ‘Purifying Flame.’ It cleanses impurities from both inside and outside the body.”

The sensation was even more pleasant than the Purifying Flame I used, despite being smaller.

Indeed, the original magic is on a different level.

“This is… the power of the Phoenix; it truly lives up to its reputation as a mythical beast governing life.”

One of the staff mentioned a legend. After a while, the fire powder dissipated, and everyone had a refreshed expression.

Their cheeks were flushed as if they had just come from a bath, and their fatigue seemed to have eased.

‘Pii!’

After cleansing everyone, Feni landed on the ground and sat beside Purple again.

“Wait a minute… Is that shining?”

One of the staff pointed at Purple, and the threads were glowing with rainbow colors.

“Could it be that the recent events triggered this?”

It was clear that the change was triggered by Feni’s ‘Purifying Flame.’

As we watched, the threads began to split, and something emerged from inside.

The light grew stronger, and we had to close our eyes due to the brilliance. Eventually, as the light subsided…

《The contract with ‘Purple’ has been renewed. Acquired: [Medium Magic Increase], [Medium Magic Control], [Small Wind Magic], [Small Wind Resistance]》

A beautiful butterfly with four rainbow-colored wings appeared.

“It looks like it’s definitely Purple.”

After checking my status, I told everyone that this butterfly was indeed Purple.

“I never imagined she would evolve…”

The staff member looked at Purple in amazement.

‘…………♪’

Currently, Purple was perched on my shoulder. It seemed she was still calm in this place, just as she had been as a Magic Worm.

She brushed my cheek with her antennae and wings.

“The species appears to be ‘Rainbow Butterfly’.”

“Rainbow Butterfly… isn’t that an A-rank monster!?”

“Is that so?”

The staff’s expertise was evident. I was surprised that they could identify the creature just from its name.

The staff left briefly and returned with a guidebook.

“This is a monster with powerful magic resistance, and it only exists in remote areas such as the Great Tree Forest or the Fairy Forest. It’s an extremely rare monster.”

Though it lacked direct combat abilities, it was an A-rank due to its rarity and the need to access remote areas.

“I can’t believe the Magic Worm evolved into such a monster…”

I was astonished by the unexpected development.

“Then, is there a possibility that the Magic Worms being farmed could also evolve into Rainbow Butterflies?”

I wondered if similarly, Magic Worms being raised in the royal capital could also be evolved.

“It might be difficult. Magic Worms are originally sensitive to environmental changes, and I’ve never heard of Magic Worms wrapping themselves in threads like this.”

The staff member added, “If there was such a report, I would have mentioned it first.”

Originally, Magic Worms only expel threads, which are then collected and woven into fabric.

“Even if they were wrapped in threads similarly, the possibility of dying due to an inability to adapt to environmental changes seems higher.”

“So, it means that only because of Klaus’s Purple could she evolve?”

Indeed, our Purple wasn’t weak thanks to the ‘Hatching’ skill and could follow us anywhere. Moreover, she could fight monsters like Mini Flies without losing, so it made sense that evolution required a certain level of strength.

‘…………!!’

While thinking about this, Purple flapped her wings and approached me.

“Wh-what’s wrong?”

‘…………☆＃＄！’

“It seems she’s asking me to put out my hands.”

Despite the change in appearance, communication with Purple was still possible.

I extended both hands as directed by Purple.

‘…………☆☆☆！’

“Is this…?”

“Beautiful.”

As Purple fluttered, rainbow-colored scales accumulated on my hands.

The texture, finer than Feni’s fire powder, felt like sand.

After a while, when the scales had filled my palm and Purple, satisfied, perched on my shoulder…

The magic tool trembled, and the card displayed:

‘A-rank Item [Rainbow Butterfly Scales] collected.’
