Evolving Silver Dragon

Chapter 441: 459 For Revenge_1
Hmm, it looks like there are some differences between this one and regular Hawkmen.

Firstly, it’s much larger than ordinary Hawkmen, and its wings are on its back.

Moreover, it has an extra pair of arms, making it look like a human with wings on its back and a bird head.

At the same time, its body is extremely well-built, with bulging muscles and a strong sense of beauty.

If Otto’s memory is correct, Hawkmen should only be a female race, but the creature’s chest, though bulging, looks like a muscular man’s pecs rather than female attributes.

If it’s male, Otto couldn’t find anything significant in the lower half of its body; this strange eagle-human is entirely naked.

After searching its body, aside from a simple wooden warhammer, Otto found nothing else.

So, is this creature genderless, like the angels in legends?

However, it doesn’t quite fit Otto’s impression of angels; although its body is impressive, it has green feathers all over, plus its eerie bird head.

Honestly, its appearance isn’t very attractive.

But Otto knows that this strange eagle-human seems to have a rather negative opinion of him.

Upon seeing Otto, it unreservedly displayed fierce hostility.

That surprised Otto a bit; logically, it should be their first meeting, and Otto couldn’t remember when he had offended this creature.

Or, is this one of those creatures that hate evil fiercely? Hating an evil dragon so much it wants to rip its skin off and break its bones?

After all, Otto currently has a Black Dragon appearance, and the strange eagle-human’s strength is more than enough to deal with an ordinary evil dragon.

While many people might not believe it, Otto perceives this low-level creature as incredibly dangerous.

However, it doesn’t seem to have any intentions to act, which means it’s a being Otto might be able to communicate with.

Before trying to converse with it, Otto glanced around, assessing the surrounding environment.

This place used to be the Thorn Nest, and Otto had visited the area after it was burnt to ashes.

If he remembers correctly, the area seemed to be turning into a decaying swamp back then.

But to Otto’s surprise, the initially decaying, viscous soil has now solidified, and the fire-damaged ground is gradually returning to its original state.

In some corners around the edges of the burnt area, Otto even noticed thin patches of grass; life has begun to return to what was once dead land.

Upon discovering this, Otto was momentarily surprised before taking a deep breath.

Of course, he wasn’t preparing to use a breath weapon – he was inhaling the thick fog around him.

Such an action would be suicidal for ordinary creatures, as the surrounding fog contains a high concentration of toxins.

But naturally, Otto is an exception; after inhaling the dense fog, he held his breath and focused for a moment, trying to understand the true effects of the fog.

Soon, Otto looked at the strange eagle-human with a complex expression, as he finally understood the real purpose of the fog.

Containing toxins to deter outsiders is just a side effect; the real reason for the fog’s existence is to heal the dead land!

In the fog, toxins only occupy a small portion, with a majority of it consisting of nutrients that have a significant healing effect on the land and plants.

Although the rate of healing isn’t fast, the green fog is fundamentally healing the forest destroyed by Otto.

At the same time, Otto felt something familiar in the fog, making his expression even more odd.

For heaven’s sake, are divine powers everywhere now?

Yes, Otto could sense faint divine powers within the fog.

Although the concentration is minimal, the sheer scale of the fog makes it quite exaggerated.

There’s no need to guess; the strange eagle-human in front of him is the root cause of all of this.

Although Otto has no concrete idea of the background of this creature, he suspects that it’s not far-fetched from Tiamat.

Although Otto’s strength has improved drastically, it’s still prudent to be cautious under the circumstances.

So, Otto finally tried to talk to the strange eagle-human, asking, “I wonder what brings you to Nolan Forest?”

Upon realizing that Otto was addressing it, the strange eagle-human seemed a bit surprised.

In its eyes, a Black Dragon is one of the worst types of evil dragons.

Whether they encounter weak creatures intentionally or unintentionally, their first instinct is to kill or torment them.

A situation like this with a calm demeanor and a desire for conversation is rather rare.

However, despite its surprise, the strange eagle-human didn’t become any friendlier towards Otto.

It looked up and down at Otto before speaking with great hostility: “I came here to avenge a Silver Dragon. It’s none of your business.

Although I’m surprised that a Black Dragon can control fire, considering you had to burn the trees to protect yourself before, I won’t hold you responsible any longer.

But before the filthy aura and nauseating radiance on you affect the forest, leave right away.

That way, I can pretend nothing happened!”

Its tone was surprisingly harsh, but if Otto were an ordinary evil dragon, he would already be fighting it by now.

However, hearing what it had to say only deepened Otto’s confusion.

It said it came to avenge a Silver Dragon.

If Otto remembers correctly, he’s the only Silver Dragon in Nolan Forest.

As mentioned earlier, he’s sure that his encounter with the strange eagle-human is their first meeting, and there’s no existing grudge between them.

Moreover, Otto found the creature’s subsequent words intriguing.

He’s now facing it in the form of a Black Dragon, and it clearly held some prejudice against Black Dragons.

Apparently, the source of its prejudice lies in the corrupting aura of Black Dragons.

As widely known, dragons are unique magical creatures that, when powerful enough, will affect the local environment whenever they go somewhere.

For example, a Black Dragon like Otto should, under normal circumstances, quickly corrupt the surroundings when staying in one place for a few days, turning it into a stinky, sticky swamp.

In short, Black Dragons are walking sources of pollution.

Only now has Otto, no longer the ignorant outsider he used to be, been able to deduce the creature’s identity based on this clue.
