Chapter 144: 142 Swallowing Battle Axe_1
Translator: 549690339
Before making a move, the new king hid in an obscure corner to quietly develop. Otherwise, he might have been killed by his elder brother, the Grand Duke Lait.
However, it was the first time that a situation like the new king’s brazenly turning Lait from a duchy into a kingdom had occurred.
This was obviously a challenge to the authority of the Farrand Kingdom, even though there were two small countries, Tal and Dilant, between the two.
However, it was believed that the royal family and nobles of Farrand would not let Lait off easily.
In the end, Krom added: “I heard about this from others. It is said that the number of the new king’s troops is not even half that of Grand Duke Lait, and many soldiers do not have complete sets of weapons and equipment.
But despite this, the new king still easily defeated the Grand Duke Lait head-on and then carried out a bloody purge of the major nobles within Serbia.
The owner of the arena was a minor female noble called the Pink Lady, who joined the new king at the last moment and sent all her servants to help the new king clean up the other nobles.
However, this also led to a shortage of guards in the arena, and most of the armed men were busy looting the rich area, so I had a chance to escape.”
Above is all the intelligence that Krom knows about Lait Duchy.
With nothing else to say, Otto waved his dragon claw and let the two monsters leave.
However, since Saru had not returned, the Quilboar Chieftain Longfang stood guard not far from the Blackstone Castle, in case the great Silver Dragon Lord needed him.
Now, Otto took out the Legendary Battleaxe and the Totem Pillar again.
It was time to test his hypothesis.
Just as planned, he set the Legendary Battleaxe aside for the time being, then swallowed the Totem Pillar with the engraved lightning pattern into his stomach.
Dragons can use most magic items, such as a belt as a ring tied to their claws.
If a dragon wants to use a boot or other difficult-to-wear magic item, they can swallow it into their stomach to use it.
However, this method did not seem to work for Otto, because the totem pillar he swallowed into his stomach was almost digested instantly.
At the same time, Otto also gained related abilities.
“Lightning Weapon: Can add lightning damage to your and other designated unit’s weapons, with a certain chance of adding a paralysis effect during attacks.”
This is the ability Otto gained through devouring the Totem Pillar, which proves that devouring magic items is a good choice to gain new abilities.
Of course, this also means that Otto cannot use the magic item’s abilities by swallowing it into his stomach like ordinary dragons.
Furthermore, the Lightning Weapon ability fused with the Flame Enchantment ability derived from the Red Dragon.
According to the Light Ball Boss’s explanation, now Otto can not only add lightning damage to himself and his allies, but also replace the position of lightning with the energy of flames or other breath weapons.
This is a very practical ability and satisfies Otto for now.
Similarly, because of the new abilities, Otto was a bit tired and needed a short But Otto resisted the desire to sleep, and looked at the Legendary Battleaxe.
The main show was just a test before, and now it is the real deal.
Being extra careful, Otto picked up the Legendary Battleaxe and slowly put it into his mouth.
The blade of this thing is frighteningly sharp, and Otto did not want to cut the neck while swallowing it.
Even though Otto was extremely careful, his esophagus was still cut open by the sharp blade, leaving a long gash.
Fortunately, the weapon finally reached Otto’s stomach, and the wounds in the esophagus were quickly healed by the powerful healing ability.
Even a Legendary Weapon seems to have no difference from ordinary things once it enters Otto’s stomach.
In the blink of an eye, it was completely digested by the Light Ball Boss.
At the same time, all the abilities on the Legendary Battleaxe were inherited perfectly by Otto.
Although Otto wanted to test his newly acquired abilities, the immense fatigue caused his eyelids to fight.
Helplessly, Otto had to use the Communication Scale first to greet Sofia, then climbed onto the Blackstone Platform and immediately fell into a deep sleep.
It is unknown how long passed before Otto suddenly opened his eyes.
However, he found that he was not standing in the Council Chamber of Blackstone Castle but floating in a pale, endless void.
Everything seemed to be nonexistent here, even the ground beneath his feet was empty.
The feeling was as if he was floating in space, unable to find a foothold, and everything was just pure white.
Wait a minute…
Were those feet, not dragon claws?
Confused, Otto looked at his bare feet and then stretched out his hand to count his fingers.
They were ten normal human fingers, without scales or claw blades.
He had transformed back into his original form, and he was also completely naked.
The faint glow at the edge of his body made Otto feel as if his existence was not very stable.
Suddenly, a battleaxe grazed his ear and flew past, startling Otto and sending chills down his spine.
Looking in the direction where the axe came from, he saw a ferocious orc staring at him with a regretful expression.
Apparently, the orc had just attacked him.
The black-edged, gold-bordered battleaxe in the orc’s hand looked very familiar; wasn’t it the Legendary Battleaxe called Gaenor Keren’s Guillotine?
Moreover, the axe that just flew past his ear looked exactly the same as the one in the orc’s hand.
So, what was going on? Could Legendary Battleaxes be mass-produced?
When did they become so worthless…
Before Otto could think more about it, the orc made a throat-slitting gesture towards him.
Then, the orc leaned back, raising the axe with one hand, and threw it towards Otto from a distance like a throwing weapon.
It looked terrifying but made no sound of breaking through the air, it seemed that there was no air in this strange space, and he did not need to breathe.
It was a very peculiar place, but now was not the time to think about it.
Now, Otto was floating in the pure white void, with no foothold in sight, so how could he move?
Perhaps holding a fart might propel his body forward a little, but unfortunately, Otto’s body structure was very special at the moment, and he seemed to not have this function..
