Chapter 98
New Land
I begin to run using〖Roll〗along the sea of the new land, continuing for one hour .
The scenery around me is really strange .
On the left side I can only sea the sea all the way till the end, while on the right side is the naked earth full of sand .
Is it a special geology, or is it because of the bad air current from the sea resulting in no rain, there’s no trees growing at all .
It became a desert even when it’s so near the sea .
Even if there’s a plant occasionally growing up, it looks just like those cactus one .
Even the cactus, it’s grown a real think green hair-like needle, and it looks like it’s crawling on the ground since it can’t stand its own weight .
It looks like a grown hairy fat caterpillar, giving it a really unpleasant feeling .
You might even mistook it as some kind of dark worm if you don’t see it carefully .
Even though I can see living creature here and there, the camel has three head with seaweed covering its body, there’s also a group of giant red ant forming a line, so it’s not really something that stirs my appetite frankly speaking .
[T . N: Not sure about the camel, might change later once I see the data sheet]
When I look at the sand-colored centipede which is four times longer than me, it really makes me want to just jump back into the sea .
Without the time to do anything, the other side seems to start running somewhere chasing after a monster looking like a leopard .
With short, innumerable foot, it fiercely move dispersing the sand nearby .
Although it’s possible to get away if I used〖Roll〗, if we compare the basic speed it’s definitely above me .
I wonder what rank is this large centipede?
I think it should be around rank B .
However I should not group this monster the same as the one from the forest .
Crap, I really want to go back to the forest real bad .
Currently, I should find a place that has edible looking creature and set up base there .
In this dry vacant land, there doesn’t seem to be any place for me to hide my body from monsters at all .
I should dig up a hole somewhere and create the sleeping place there .
Furthermore, when I use〖Roll〗to search around, I managed to find a spectacle of rocks arranged together shaping a big Japanese Yen .
It’s like a huge, 5 meter radius Japanese yen . Not just one or two, but more than ten are arranged in the surroundings .
I’m feeling goosebumps just from seeing this .
What the heck is this thing?
Pretty sure this is a nest of some nasty monsters .
Should I turn back?
I cancelled〖Roll〗to observe it, and seeing the rock inside the circle, I understood that some kind of magic circle was drawn .
This thing, it’s not the work of monsters but man .
When I twist my head around, I noticed that there’s barely any monster found in the vicinity .
Is it some kind of talisman warding evil?
Among all of these rocks, some of them can be easily moved .
As its hard to avoid monsters here, is there a village protected beyond this rocks?
I noticed that I’ve been hoping to meet a human dwelling here, thus I shakes my head to remonstrate myself .
Currently, I am a monster .
Although I might look a bit cute as a baby dragon, my current appearance is completely that of the enemy of mankind。
If I see the explanation before the evolution,〖Evil Plague Dragon〗is the type that human really scared of .
Even if I didn’t enter the village, it would be a huge panic just from being seen and the uproar might even destroy the lifestyle over there .
There’s also the〖Dragon Scale Powder〗too .
Turning back, I used〖Roll〗to go back from where I came from .
I run towards the arranged rocks, cancelling〖Roll〗after I slightly neared it .
Regretfully, I really wanted to confirm even if it’s only the appearance of the village .
If I can step on top of the magic formation, even if I can see the other side, there might not be an uproar .
Kicking the ground, I fly high above, turning my vision towards where a village is supposed to be .
Continuing land can be seen after the arrangement of rocks, and further ahead, high stone wall can be seen . Lots of buildings can be seen on the other side of the wall .
It should be more than 10 meters in height .
Is it so that no monster can go in?
There’s also the magic rock formation too .
Since I’m only feeling a bit uncomfortable from it, there might be other monster that can get over it too .
Not just the height, but the area it covers are huge too .
This is no longer at the scale of a village .
It’s a city .
On the other side of the high stone wall, I managed to caught a glimpse of a showy flag on the upper part of a building .
The inside seems to be very lively .
[T . N: I burst out laughing when one of my machine translate it as gay flag instead]
I get down on the ground, walking towards the opposite direction .
Looking at the vast extending empty land that will continue to expand in the future, I felt much lonelier than before .
…if it’s like this, it would have been better if I hadn’t seen it .
No no, what are you doing getting depressed for?
I had already decided to continue living a lonely life as a dragon .
〖Dragon Scale powder〗should disappear depending on my next evolution .
As long as I continue raising〖Tiny Hero〗without getting depressed, I might be able to turn into a better race from now on .
Once I turn like that, it might even be possible for me to return to that forest again .
The〖Human Transformation Art〗skill has also level up as well .
Its Lv3 now . If I continue using it repeatedly, it might be possible for the appearance to be more humane .
My maximum MP also increased with my Lv up, so I can maintain it for a longer duration .
The MP consumption for〖Human Transformation Art〗is roughly around 1MP per second .
Because my current maximum value is 192, it would be empty in just a little over three minutes .
However if I continue to evolve, if I can increase my maximum MP to around 600, I can turn into human for 10 minutes .
Though I don’t understand how accurate the real number really is, in case I managed to get〖Auto MP Regeneration〗like the slime, even if I don’t raise my maximum MP, I should be able to increase the effective time considerably .
If it’s 10 minutes, not only can I talk to traveler, it might even be possible for me to enter the village to see the situation .
While continuing doing that, it would be possible for me to know the circumstances of the other side after doing it for some times .
Alright, there’s still hope .
For the future purpose, I need to increase my maximum MP as well removing the evil dragon status .
Although I felt like I’m already on the straight path for evil dragon, I’ll manage somehow… . I really want to believe that .
If there’s 360,000 MP, I’ll be able to turn human for 100 hours! Don’t give up, me!
