It wasn’t long after dawn, and Otto had already got up with a grave expression, as two unexpected guests had arrived near the Giant Bear Cave.

According to Wild Beast Heart’s warning, one of them was extremely dangerous.

Wild Beast Heart granted Otto a low-level, instinctive ability similar to that of a Minotaur. However, its detection and warning range was not that great, which was why the enemy was discovered only when they were about to reach the front door.

Very few creatures on the outskirts of Nolan Forest could pose a threat to him, so these two individuals most likely came from deep within the rainforest.

At first, Otto thought they were just passing by. However, on the contrary, their movements indicated that they were coming straight for him.

“Interesting…”

With narrowed eyes, Otto watched the cave entrance. After devouring the Chimera, he had undoubtedly become a fierce beast.

“It’s time for some action!”

He wasn’t afraid; although he wasn’t very skilled, he could just flee with his newfound ability to fly if anything went wrong.

With this in mind, Otto woke up Sofia, who was sound asleep, and told her to hide.

Although still drowsy, the little girl became alert once she learned what was happening. She tightly gripped the worn-out magic wand that was almost taller than herself, her ruby-like eyes wide and resolute: “Big Dragon, I don’t want to hide. I’m strong now and can help you!”

Although Otto was reluctant, the little girl remained determined and did not seem to back down easily. The two unwelcome guests were getting closer and closer, leaving Otto no choice but to begrudgingly agree.

However, he still reiterated: “Remember, don’t try to be a hero. As a spellcaster, you must first ensure your own safety before you can help me!”

He didn’t treat Sofia as someone who needed protection, as that would only wound her pride.

Only by using such words could he convince her to willingly stay behind him, since it was indeed the right position.

As Otto walked out of the cave with Sofia, Lizardman Saru and Giant Troll Kamia were also approaching the cave entrance. Both sides began sizing each other up.

In the name of Mother of Thorns, was this the so-called young dragon?

Saru stared in amazement at the silver-gray behemoth before him. After devouring the Chimera, Otto’s body, including his tail, had grown to nearly seven meters long.

Such a gigantic creature, if standing upright, would be almost as tall as the dimwitted Kamia.

The Eye of Mist could only provide minimal information to its caster, so Princess Cassiopeia had no idea about Otto’s appearance or strength.

Saru felt baffled as he thought, could this size really be considered a young dragon? A teenage dragon would be more fitting…

If he knew Otto was barely over one-year-old, one could only wonder what he would think.

Aside from that, after really seeing Otto, Saru didn’t have much confidence in that dimwitted Kamia.

Thankfully, the so-called young dragon was also on guard and did not launch the first attack.

That suggested that there might be alternatives better than directly engaging in combat and dragging the young dragon back with them.

Just as Saru cleared his throat, preparing to engage in a friendly conversation with Otto, the drooling troll beside him stepped forward.”Damn it, has this guy forgotten what he’s supposed to do?”

Shshaalu hurriedly shouted, “Kamia, don’t forget what the master told you to do!”

Kamia didn’t even turn his head, drooling heavily as he said, “Shut up, food. Kamia remembers, Kamia knows! But Kamia is hungry, so Kamia wants a snack!”

Following Kamia’s gaze, Shashaalu noticed a delicate half-elf little girl hiding behind the young dragon.

For monsters like trolls and ogres, dwarves, elves, and half-elves are always the most delicious snacks, which is why Kamia could not control himself.

Moreover, his task from Cassiopeia did not mention this half-elf little girl at all.

“Damn! We’re in trouble now…”

Although he was unsure of the relationship between this half-elf and the young dragon, he couldn’t imagine the other party willingly offering up the so-called snack to this ugly troll.

Even among troll clans, Kamia was not the smartest, only becoming the leader because he could fight the best.

Actually, this fit the monsters’ values, while those like Shashaalu who used wisdom to become the clan leader were seen as unusual by other monsters.

“A troll and a lizardman?”

After more than a year in the arena, Otto could recognize most monsters and beasts, but he was still surprised by the combination before him.

No matter how he looked at it, these two races did not seem capable of living together peacefully; in the simple mind of a troll, a lizardman should just be their food.

Before Otto could think any further, the troll Kamia, covered in pus-filled boils and oozing green fluid, tried to bypass him with drool dripping from his mouth and reached for Sofia.

Of course, Otto wouldn’t let this man-eating monster get his wish and struck the idiot who tried to ignore him with a swipe of his claw.

His sharp claw reflected a cold light in the faint morning glow, smoothly cutting through the troll’s flesh, severing his arm, and flinging him several meters away, breaking a tree trunk that took a whole person to hug.

The troll climbed up with a puzzled face amidst the wreckage. His pain nerves were not well-developed, and it took him a while to react to what had just happened.

In Otto’s astonished expression, he picked up his severed arm, aligning the wound like a jigsaw puzzle. After a visible wriggling of flesh and blood, the arm that had been cut off by Otto’s claw healed surprisingly simply!

Although the angle was a bit strange, it still moved freely, making Otto wonder what this creature’s body was made of.

Otto’s attack did not bring any substantial harm to Kamia, but it enraged the simple-minded monster.

“Meal, not obedient… Kamia, wants to eat!”

Like a fierce beast, the troll temporarily forgot the task given to him by the Mother of Thorns, lying down on the ground and charging at Otto.

Shshaalu covered his face and shook his head, thinking that the Mother of Thorns giving this task to Kamia was a wrong choice.

But he then thought that among the monsters following the Mother of Thorns, this troll was already the most powerful one. If Kamia was not enough, maybe the Mother of Thorns herself would have to step in.

The so-called Mother of Thorns was nothing more than an adult green dragon, not an ancient dragon. She wasn’t an extremely powerful being in this world.

There were no legendary creatures in Nolan Forest, and the neighboring Lait Kingdom was a weak and small nation. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be her turn to run rampant here.

Therefore, the Mother of Thorns, Cassiopeia, didn’t have very powerful monster minions. This was one reason why she was interested in Otto and wanted to corrupt him into her pawn.
