Chapter 5: 004 Opportunity has arrived!_1

Translator: 549690339

Time flew by, a year had passed since Otto first entered the arena and took down a dire wolf.

During this time, he was sent into the arena almost every day.

His opponents were either gnolls, raging wild boars, or even the relatively rare centaurs in the area.

Blackheart George carefully selected Otto’s opponents to ensure his safety while not making the fights too short and boring.

This was, of course, under the condition that Otto hid his true strength.

These creatures all ended up in Otto’s stomach and provided him with many new abilities. If you include his tail, his body length had reached nearly five meters, which was even larger than the chimera.

This growth rate was quite terrifying. In the arena, only the chimera’s size could be compared to his.

According to the growth rate of true dragons, only young dragons aged five or older or adolescent dragons aged fifteen or older could grow to this size.

Such a large body was no longer suitable for ordinary cages, so Blackheart George locked Otto in a more spacious stone cell.

This used to be where he imprisoned disobedient slaves or used it as a warehouse.

Being away from the stinking monster-filled dens, Otto felt pretty good.

Sofia was still in charge of feeding Otto, and Otto had grown accustomed to the presence of this half-elf girl.

Lately, Sofia’s courage had grown; she would now directly bring food into the stone cell where Otto was kept and even sleep cuddled up to Otto at night.

This situation amazed the other people in the arena. A middle-aged weirdo tried to approach Otto, hoping to tame the dragon beast as a mount.

What a joke, this was a world that judged by appearance, and the difference between a beautiful little girl and a middle-aged weirdo was just too great.

After this unfortunate fellow had an arm bitten off, no one else had similar ideas.

Over the past year, Otto’s popularity in the arena had gradually surpassed the chimera. Although the two looked similar in size, their appearances were worlds apart.

Apart from not having a pair of dragon wings, Otto’s appearance was very similar to that of a true dragon, with blue-gray scales reflecting faint silver dots.

Bright eyes and the undeniably beard-like spines on his lower jaw gave him a noble-looking dragon face.

He looked a lot like a silver dragon, but his head didn’t have the traditional silver dragon fin-like spines, instead, he had spiral, sweeping horns like a red dragon.

His muscular body was also incredibly strong, and his hind legs were more developed than those of ordinary dragons, allowing him to easily stand upright on two legs.

His forelimbs had razor-sharp claws, which allowed him to easily break through the defenses of various monsters.

In short, Otto’s appearance fulfilled humanity’s fantasy of a powerful true dragon, and if he had a pair of dragon wings on his back, it would be even more perfect.

This was a world that judged by appearance…

Recently, Blackheart George’s life had not been going well. The number of spectators in the arena had been declining, and it showed a clear downward trend.

At the same time, he could no longer acquire new monsters, which greatly affected his income, and the situation would only worsen.

Apart from a batch of good-looking monsters sold to Serbia, he still had a large group of starving creatures here.

Feeding them cost money, even though he only provided the bare minimum amount of food to keep the monsters from starving to death.

Nevertheless, it was mostly meat, so it was a considerable expense.

“Damn Dragon Disaster!”

Blackheart George slammed the table, and the evil slaves who stood behind him didn’t dare to let out a fart.

If they angered their boss at this time, they might be thrown to the perpetually starving monsters as food in a fit of rage.It was the Dragon Disaster that Blackheart George had mentioned which caused the current situation.

Recently, a Red Dragon suddenly appeared in the Sulfur Mountains, and for some unknown reason, started fighting with the ruler of the Nolan Forest next to it.

The ruler of the Nolan Forest was a long-established Green Dragon, known as the Mother of Thorns, who naturally would not allow herself to be bullied and immediately fought back, leading to intense battles between them.

Those were two adult True Dragons, each with a large number of monsters as their followers. As the monsters under the True Dragons fought to the death, adventurers who entered Nolan Forest and Sulfur Mountains were indiscriminately attacked by the monsters.

In this remote small town, no one could withstand the anger of an adult True Dragon.

Thus, this town, which originally had little value and served only as a supply station for adventurers, quickly lost its vitality.

Without rich and generous adventurers, most of the town’s residents who couldn’t make money chose to try their luck elsewhere.

This further diminished the town’s vitality, and of course, Blackheart George’s business, which relied on the arena audience and slave trading, also plummeted.

“I can’t go on like this!”

Blackheart George decided to go all-in before Kor Town turned into a ghost town!

Like most of the townspeople, Blackheart George also wanted to move to a new place and start a new life, and with his accumulated wealth, he could certainly live better than most people.

However, while gold coins and ordinary slaves could easily be taken away, it wouldn’t be worth the effort to move the unsold monsters.

But it would be a shame to simply abandon them, as these monsters also took a lot of his energy and money to acquire, and they were important assets.

So, while his old audience hasn’t completely left yet, he prepared to put all of the monsters in the arena for a massive monster melee.

The largest monster melee in the history of Kor Town was about to begin!

He would drain the monsters of their last value, but he would definitely take the Dragon Beast he had spent a lot of money on.

He couldn’t give up on the Chimera either, as those great nobles in the back would surely be willing to pay a good price for the two fierce beasts!

His old clients, the Lait nobles who only had money left, loved to decorate their back gardens with these fierce beasts.

Even Blackheart George hadn’t expected that some adventurers who had already given up on Kor Town would actually rush back overnight just to watch the grand revelry.

This made Blackheart George laugh with joy.

However, this also brought some minor troubles to Blackheart George, as the original arena was simply not large enough for so many monsters, and with the adventurers coming back for the excitement, the audience seats needed to be expanded as well.

After all, it was just a one-time event, so Blackheart George decided to build a temporary arena in the Central Square of Kor Town.

In fact, it was just a large fence made of wood and rubble.

As for the audience, they could just stand outside. Blackheart George would kindly provide good seats and benches for those who spent a lot of money on premium tickets.

With only 100 gold coins, Blackheart George obtained authorization from the mayor to build a fence in the Central Square.

The outside was bustling in preparation for the celebration, while Otto, locked in the stone cell, also learned about the situation through Sofia.

Leaning against the eating Otto, Sofia whispered, “Big Dra-dra, we’re going to Serbia soon. I heard it’s much more prosperous than this place. I wonder if our lives will be better there…”.

About half a year ago, Sofia started calling Otto “Big Dra-dra,” as his nearly five-meter-long body really was a massive creature in front of the half-elf little girl.

Moreover, the little girl was almost always by Otto’s side, even sleeping together every night, treating him as her closest family member.

As he listened to the half-elf little girl’s words and felt the lively commotion outside, Otto’s eyes sparkled as he gnawed at the Barbaric Bull’s leg.

“An opportunity has come!”
