A night without words…
As if!
Having just woken up from a three-year-long slumber and listening to
Moray’s nonsense, there’s no way Otto could sleep.
Fortunately, Sofia had returned to her normal state, but if she had continued to maintain that alluring mature form, he wasn’t sure if he could control himself…
Curled up against him, Sofia slept soundly, leaving the insomniac Otto to find something else to do.
Fearing waking Sofia, Otto cast aside his three-year plan and closed his eyes to feel the changes within himself.
Devouring two adult dragons had brought about drastic changes to Otto.
First, he casually flipped through the information appearing on the light ball in his mind.
As expected, he was overwhelmed by information again.
However, this time he didn’t need to go through everything one by one, as the bizarre light ball in his mind had evolved once more.
For starters, the light ball had become more intelligent.
Now, whenever he gained a new ability, he wouldn’t have to slowly figure out its effects like before.
That’s because the light ball could now explicitly inform him ot the specific function of an ability.
The method was simple and convenient; as long as he wanted to know, the relevant information would directly appear in his mind.
It felt as if he had known all of this from the beginning, and it was crystal clear.
For example, the ability he gained from devouring the giant ghost: Phantom Insubstantiality.
By rights, he didn’t know what this ability was for.
But now, as long as he wanted to know, information about this ability would automatically appear in his mind.
[Phantom Insubstantiality: Active Skill, transform into a ghostly form that makes you immune to corrosion, toxins, charm, petrification, and other statuses while greatly resisting magical and physical damage; rapidly recover body after suffering fatal damage based on the extent of damage.]
[While in this state, additional abilities such as Dark Stealth, Insubstantial Movement, Life Absorption, Sensitivity to Light are gained and are accompanied by certain limitations, with only a few other abilities can be used.]
Feeling the range of Phantom Insubstantiality, Otto couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.
Fortunately, the light ball boss had evolved again; otherwise, figuring this out on his own would take an unknown amount of time.
Apart from newly gained abilities, Otto also had a deeper understanding of earlier abilities due to the light ball’s evolution.
Below, Otto began to check the new abilities he acquired from devouring the two adult dragons.
One important thing is that he could feel from the weak feedback of the light ball that it craved for inherited memories.
Just like his own experience upon birth in this world, the inherited memories of the two adult dragons were also entirely devoured by the light ball.
This time, the reason why the light ball evolved and became more intelligent seemed to have a strong connection with this aspect.
First, he gained a new breath weapon – Toxic Breath, originating from the Green Dragon.
The Toxic Breath was quite different from the Potent Poison Breath obtained from the Rotten Blood Six-headed Serpent Lizard, as this breath weapon emitted a troublesome poisonous gas.
He had already obtained the Flame Breath from the Red Dragon through the Chimera with a Red Dragon head, but it seemed to have slightly increased its power this time.
Aside from a few passive abilities representing the True Dragon’s talent and relatively ordinary abilities, the only two abilities Otto favored were Thorn Control from the Green Dragon and Flame Enchantment from the Red Dragon.
Thorn Control, one of Green Dragon Cassiopeia’s signature abilities, could transform all surrounding plants into highly poisonous magical thorns.
If no plants were available for conversion, it could also create thorns out of thin air using magic, albeit with higher energy consumption.
Within a certain range, the poisonous thorns generated by this ability could be freely controlled like an extension of his limbs.
The Flame Enchantment, originating from Red Dragon Sitte Bragg, allowed Otto to attach the flame from his breath weapon to any part of his body, greatly enhancing his close combat capabilities.
However, after Otto inherited this ability, it underwent some fusion and changes, and now he could not only attach flames to his dragon claws.
It seemed that the source of this ability was related to the breath weapon, allowing Otto to attach potent poison, or even Flame Poison to his dragon claws to increase offensive power.
He could also release poisonous gas through the gaps in his scales, making this ability one of the extremely practical attack methods.
There were many abilities gained from the two adult dragons, some of which involved amazing magical abilities.
If Otto was willing, he could now conjure a fireball.
Although the Red Dragon didn’t like using common spells, that didn’t mean it couldn’t.
But through the evolved light ball, Otto was very clear that this wasn’t magic.
Strictly speaking, this could only be considered an instinct or a natural ability.
Even Thorn Control was the same.
If Otto were to use it, the energy consumed wouldn’t be the nonexistent magic power of Otto, but ordinary energy reserves or, it could be said, physical strength.
Perhaps the final result wouldn’t be any different, but in reality, the essence of magic was using the caster’s magic power to manipulate the various magic elements in the air to achieve a specific purpose.
However, for Otto, everything had to be borne by him alone from beginning to end.
In simple terms, even just conjuring a fireball would require him to expend much more energy than an ordinary dragon’s magic power.
Therefore, it could also be said that Otto was still a magically incapable Silver Dragon.
But he didn’t mind; even if it consumed more energy, at least he had abilities similar to magic.
Moreover, this couldn’t be said to be inferior to traditional magic.
In case of encountering trouble like the Death Lord, who knows, there might be unexpected effects.
Soon, Otto focused his attention on an ability he valued the most.
Green Dragon Cassiopeia had excellent mastery of the transformation spell, and of course, this ability was also inherited by Otto.
Whether he could live happily in the future was all up to it!
But it seemed that some unexpected changes had occurred…
According to the feedback from the light ball, this ability was limited.
He couldn’t transform into a completely new body as freely as the Green Dragon could.
After being altered by the light ball, the transformation spell needed to refer to the objects he had consumed, and his size couldn’t be changed.
After combining with some of the altered magical abilities, Otto preliminarily concluded that because he didn’t know magic, no miracles could emerge, just like when he wanted to conjure a fireball, most of the energy expended came from his breath weapon..
