Chapter 43: 042 Anger_1

Translator: 549690339

In the Thorn Nest, the scarred Cassiopeia lay on her meager pile of treasures.

She was listening to the mission report from the Corrupted Elf Elise.

Unlike ordinary Green Dragon followers, she didn’t need to kneel before the Mother of Thorns; standing to the side with a respectful expression was enough.

This was the exclusive treatment for the Corrupted Elves, who were the Green Dragon’s favorite pets.

“Honorable master, I have brought a message of warning to the lizardmen as you requested. The trolls and serpentmen will soon return to their own territories. If you wish, I can also lead them to wipe out those annoying reptiles for you!”

The Corrupted Elves had never liked the lizardmen, or rather, their leader Shasharu.

That’s because this elderly lizardman leader had wisdom rarely seen in ordinary monsters.

Elise and the other Corrupted Elves were worried that Shasharu might affect their status in Cassiopeia’s heart.

So they constantly tried to smear Shasharu’s name and were responsible for the lizardmen’s marginal status within the Thorn Legion.

Among the Corrupted Elves, Elise was Cassiopeia’s favorite pet.

Even with the ever-fiercer attacks from the Red Dragons, she couldn’t bear to take her to the battlefield.

After this hard-won victory, however, there would be no chance for Elise to stay behind next time.

There were just too many followers of the Red Dragon.

Every time Cassiopeia looked at Elise, she would remember the process of corrupting her. Although it took a lot of effort, it was generally worth it.

Especially the process, which made Cassiopeia endlessly nostalgic.

“So, what about that other thing?”

The Green Dragon gazed at Elise, who seemed slightly uneasy.

Finally, Elise spoke: “Master, the rotblood creature you asked me to find is gone!”

“Gone?”

Cassiopeia tried to lift her head, but the movement pulled at the wounds on her neck.

After cursing Otto in her heart, she adjusted her mood and said, “Tell me what happened…”

“After completing the first task, I rode a giant eagle to the habitat of the Rotten Blood sub-species, but after searching the entire swamp, I didn’t find it or even a single ordinary Three-headed Serpent Lizard…”

Seeing that the Green Dragon didn’t respond for a long time and sensing her displeasure, Elise quickly knelt on the ground.

She then added, “When I was luring the goblins to attack the lizardmen, I noticed they seemed to be using weapons made from multi-headed serpent lizard bones and teeth. Perhaps…”

Although she didn’t spell it out, Cassiopeia knew exactly what she meant, but found it hard to believe.

“How could those lowly reptiles possibly…”

The Green Dragon’s words stopped abruptly, for she suddenly thought of a strangely-shaped Silver Dragon.

If Otto had been helping them, it seemed not entirely impossible.

“Damn half-breed dragon, how dare you!”

Fearing tearing the newly-formed scabs on her wounds, Cassiopeia could only vent her rage at Otto.

With the increasingly fierce attacks from the Red Dragons, she had no choice but to think of ways to strengthen her own legion, and the once-abandoned multi-headed serpent lizards came back into her sights.

Of course, what she truly cared about was the powerful Rotten Blood subspecies of the multi-headed serpent lizard, which was only slightly weaker than a giant dragon of the same size.

For this reason, she had already prepared to use the Enlightenment Skill.

But after all, this creature was extremely ferocious, and dealing with a monster with six separately functioning brains was very difficult.To avoid spell failure, she had prepared a second plan.

At the necessary moment, she would kill this powerful monster and turn it into a construct creature.

As long as she added a humanoid brain to the original Enlightenment Skill, she could cast the Construct Enlightenment Skill and obtain a strong fighter as well.

But no matter what, this was all built on the foundation of finding that Rotten Blood monster.

It must be Otto!

Out of anger, Cassiopeia felt more and more that it was Otto who killed the Rotten Blood monster she had her eye on.

If she had known about this before the war with the Red Dragon, she would never have doubted Otto.

Because Otto seemed to have only the size of a young dragon, and couldn’t possibly be a match for the ferocious Rotten Blood monster.

But now, Otto had proved her wrong with facts. This bizarre Silver Dragon could do it. The scars on her neck were the best evidence.

Elise carefully observed her master’s expression and, after hesitating for a moment, asked, “Honorable master, do you need me to do anything for you?”

Cassiopeia tried her best to stabilize her emotions. Besides anger, she had more important things to deal with.

The threat of the Red Dragon was becoming more serious, and she needed more minions, especially flying monsters.

“Put the Multi-headed Serpent Lizard matter aside for now. I need you to train as many new Giant Eagles as possible and capture the Perytons as soon as possible if you can. How many Chimeras have returned?”

“Only three left…”

Cassiopeia gritted her teeth, and her anger towards Otto in her heart was somewhat uncontrollable.

If it hadn’t been for this bastard’s meddling, the already scarce number of Chimeras would not have suffered such a large loss.

They were the most powerful flying monsters under her command. Acquiring them had cost her a lot of effort back then.

But no matter how angry she was, it was useless. In the end, she helplessly said, “I’ll leave them in your hands, go ahead!”

Elise worriedly replied, “But, master, the Peryton’s nest is on the outer cliffs of the Sulfur Mountains…”

“The Red Dragon won’t be in much better shape than me. He must be hiding carefully in his lair, licking his wounds. Moreover, most of his Wyverns are dead. Take your sisters with you and be careful; there shouldn’t be any accidents.”

Hearing this, Elise finally felt relieved. It was precisely because she was afraid of death that she had been successfully corrupted by Cassiopeia and ultimately became a pet of a Green Dragon.

She had already sold her soul and faith and didn’t want to end up dying at the hands of another giant dragon.

As Elise nodded and left, the Green Dragon’s palace returned to its peaceful state.

Cassiopeia closed her eyes, laying on her meager pile of treasures, casting healing spells.

With the help of magic, she could heal faster than the Red Dragon. If there was a chance, it wasn’t impossible to launch an offensive.

“If… if the clan in the north is willing to submit to me, I wouldn’t have to worry about all this!”

Thinking about this, she felt even angrier.

She always felt that she was particularly prone to anger after returning, perhaps because her wounds still hurt, so she didn’t pay too much attention to it.

However, what Cassiopeia didn’t notice was that, in the pile of treasure beneath her, a dark red gem embedded in a ring was emitting a faint, eerie glow.

An eerie face was carved in the center of the ring, its teeth biting tightly on the gem.
