Chapter 60: 059 Behind-the-Scenes Mastermind_l
Translator: 549690339
The biggest problem was solved, as the Giant Ghost claiming to be the Legendary Witch Demon Moray was reshaped into a sphere by Otto.
Completely ignoring the latter’s subsequent protests, Otto carried Moray and flew back to Sofia’s side.
At this time, Sofia had almost exhausted all her magic and physical strength. Her face was pale, and her delicate cheeks were covered in sweat.
The little girl leaned on her tattered magic wand, her body swaying constantly, looking extremely weak.
But her face was full of determination, and the little bit of magic she was still able to squeeze out continued to affect the operation of the surrounding Magic Array.
Since the core of the Magic Array, the Ghosts, had already been almost completely dealt with, Sofia’s remaining magic was enough to barely interfere with its operation.
Otto looked at Sofia with concern, but she just nodded at him. The little girl didn’t even have the strength to speak.
Having spent so much time together, they didn’t need words to understand each other anymore. Otto gritted his teeth, and soon, he flew towards the Sulfur Mountains.
The situation here was stable. Although the Ogres were mostly injured, there was no threat around, and protecting Sofia’s safety should be enough.
Now, the most important thing was the two adult dragons that had fallen into the Sulfur Mountains. They were the best spoils of war after this dangerous battle.
Although Otto had never explicitly told her, many things could not be hidden by living so intimately together all the time.
Sofia was a smart girl. Through Otto’s daily actions and changes, she could roughly guess his special abilities.
So at this time, instead of staying here with her, they should go and do what needed to be done as soon as possible.
When Cassiopeia fell from the sky, it caused quite a commotion.
Easily, Otto found an unnaturally-formed deep crater in the Sulfur Mountains and the Green Dragon buried inside.
Moreover, he also found the Red Dragon Sitte Bragg nearby.
The magnificent Wings of Flame were now awkwardly and laboriously crawling towards the deep crater where the Green Dragon was buried, mumbling something non -stop.
Otto’s hearing was excellent, and even from a distance, he could roughly hear the mad talk about dominating the world.
“He’s gone completely insane. What did you do to them?”
“Ha, I forgot!”
Regarding Otto’s question, the spherical Moray sneered and did not want to answer.
It seemed that the Legendary Witch Demon had not yet recognized his current situation. So, Otto held Moray tightly and began to shake him violently.
“No… don’t…”
Soon, Moray screamed for mercy: “Don’t shake me anymore, I’m getting dizzy… ugh…”
Although Otto wasn’t sure of the specific principle, he guessed that the Giant Ghost might be Moray’s temporary body, perhaps a kind of vessel.
Now, Moray’s feelings could be easily understood: he was getting motion sickness.
Finally, Otto stopped tormenting Moray. He flattened the spherical Elf into a pancake again and sneered, “Now, have you remembered anything?”
“Alright, alright…”
Moray’s voice sounded weary, he did not want to experience that dizzying sensation again. “I just sent them each a special magic item, something delicate and seemingly valuable, you know, dragons are the epitome of greed…”
Moray sneered: “Despite the unknown origin of the treasure and its bizarre appearance, do you know what? Even the cunning Green Dragon didn’t hesitate to keep it in his treasure vault. Ridiculous… stop it… ugh…”
After a moment, Otto finally let go of the constantly swaying Moray. “I don’t care about your opinion on those two adult dragons!”
As Otto molded Moray into various shapes, he coldly said, “Focus on the important things; I don’t have much patience!”
“Alright, alright! Stop it!”
Transformed from a ball to a pancake and then pinched into various irregular shapes, the overwhelmed Moray hastily confessed, “We, no, I infused those two magic items with a spell called Thought Guidance, well-hidden.”
“It’s not very noticeable in normal situations, but when they keep it close or use it, even adult dragons can’t resist the effect of the spell.”
“The most ingenious part is that if the two magic items are near each other, they greatly enhance the effect.”
Hearing this, Otto flew to the Red Dragon, who was still struggling to crawl towards Cassiopeia. When Otto landed near the Red Dragon, it still hadn’t noticed him.
Or rather, in the eyes of this now-insane Red Dragon, nothing else mattered except for Cassiopeia.
“Just one magic item can accomplish this?”
Otto was somewhat surprised. Atter all, these two adult dragons were much stronger than him, and they ended up like this in the end. What would happen if it was himself?
Regarding this, Moray said, “You only saw the final result, but you didn’t think about how much effort I put into it. Just delivering the magic items to their stomachs is far from enough. Before that, I had to provoke their relationship, making both of them see each other as their greatest enemy! ”
“After all, it’s just guidance, not control. I also had to give them both the hope of victory. To achieve that, some time ago, I sent a large number of Perytons to the Green Dragon.”
His answer this time was quite straightforward, seemingly scared from the shaking earlier.
“Could it be that this Red Dragon’s followers…”
Otto looked at the ball in his hand with some astonishment while the latter mocked, “It seems you are much smarter than these two adult dragons. From the very beginning, you were part of my plan.”
“Otherwise, why would this Red Dragon suddenly appear nearby and have thoughts about the Green Dragon’s territory?”
“Haha, most of his followers were given to him by me. Does it really seem like this stupid dragon possesses some kind of leadership quality, as he claims?”
At this point, Moray laughed coldly, not forgetting to add his final remark: “Dragons… are ultimately just big lizards relying on their extraordinary talents or magical cats. If it weren’t for my own limitations as a soul entity, I wouldn’t need to put in so much effort…”
It seems that Moray still has a strong prejudice against the dragons.
Actually, dragons were not as unbearable as he claimed, at least most adult dragons had a higher IQ than normal humanoid creatures.
It’s just that their powerful strength and talent often allowed them to brute-force their way through most problems without thinking.
Therefore, although arrogant dragons have the wisdom to see through most schemes and conspiracies, they are always too lazy to use their brains.
This is a lesson learned through personal experience, and Otto vowed to remember it and never make the same mistakes as his predecessors.
At this point, Otto squinted his eyes and looked around, soon finding some dark-skinned dwarves in a man-made cave.
Though they were hidden quite well, they were still no match for Otto’s keen senses..
