27 026 Multi-headed Regeneration_1
Translator: 549690339
Among all the abilities Otto had obtained from the Rotten Blood Multi-headed Serpent Lizard subspecies, one was of great concern to him, the Multi-headed Regeneration.

It was also the core ability of the Multi-headed Serpent Lizard monster.

Although Multi-headed Regeneration merged with Advanced Proliferation to produce Self-proliferation, a new ability, it did not mean that the original ability had disappeared.

Just as the fusion of Flame Breath and Potent Poison Breath still allowed Otto to use the former two projectile weapons, Multi-headed Regeneration was still available to use.

However, Otto needed to explore exactly how to use it.

If it were merely to regrow the head that was chopped off, like the Multi-headed Serpent Lizard, Otto wouldn’t dare to experiment with it since he only has one head.

However, this ability appeared to be an active skill, and under his deliberate use, he could feel a part of the energy in his body being consumed instantly, and then a large bump on his shoulder appeared.

Accompanied by a sudden itch, a dragon head identical to Otto’s, as if it was copied from a mirror, appeared on his body.

This suddenly emerging dragon head slowly opened its crimson, beast-like eyes and exuded aggression.

Saliva seeped through the sharp gaps between its teeth, and it growled low, as if warning the world outside. It appeared to be an unwise beast in its actions.

Yet, before it had a chance to watch the world, Otto had bitten it off and swallowed it into his stomach.

The bloody wound wriggled, recovering to its original state at a visible speed, as if there had never been a sinister dragon head there.

Seeing everything return to normal, Otto finally let out a sigh of relief.

After using the Multi-headed Regeneration ability, a brand new head would grow directly, which was within his expectations yet beyond his predictions.

Because the newly grown head was a separate individual, it even had its own thoughts, or no thoughts at all, with only the beastly instinct remaining.

Although Otto could sense its existence, he could not control it. It was like the relationship between the multiple heads of the Multi-headed Serpent Lizard; they grew on the same body but had their own different thoughts and positions.

If there was a shortage of food, they would even fight and devour each other to satisfy their hunger.

Worried that the newly born head might eventually take control, Otto decided to strike first and eliminate this unstable factor.

Just as Otto was preparing to remove this ability from his body, he hesitated a bit.

This ability posed some risks, but there’s no denying that, if used properly, it was indeed a powerful lifesaving skill.

Moreover, it was an active skill; as long as he was careful from now on, there should be no problems.

Suddenly feeling an itch in the newly grown flesh on his shoulder, Otto stretched his front claw to try and scratch, but it fell just short.

“Dragon claws are so inconvenient. If it could grow a little longer, it would be good… ”

As he thought about it, the front claw that couldn’t reach suddenly grew a little longer.

With a perplexed face, Otto scratched his shoulder, then compared the two front claws, which had indeed become one long and one short.

“What kind of operation is this?”

Otto attempted to manipulate the flow of energy within his body again, and in no time, a Kirin arm appeared before him, then slowly shrank back to its normal size.

At this moment, Otto realized that this was how Self-proliferation was meant to be used correctly; he could use his own consciousness to control his body tissues.

Because Otto had proliferated the Kirin arm, other parts of his body had grown a bit smaller, albeit unnoticeable.

In this regard, this ability is quite practical and versatile. How it would create chemical effects with other abilities in the future and how they would be used together still remained to be seen.

The experiment with the new abilities had almost been completed, and the insignificant abilities could be explored slowly later on.

Otto glanced at the few Lizardmen lying not far away, who had stiffened to the point of death. However, he didn’t take their bodies with him nor intend to bury them on the spot.

He would inform Saru when he returned; monsters didn’t have the desire to return to their roots. They mostly ended up exposed in the wilderness and returned to nature.

“So how long did I sleep here?”

At first, he hadn’t expected the Rotten Blood Serpent Lizard to cause him so much trouble, nor did he expect to spend so much time here.

After being silent for such a long time, he must’ve driven Sofia crazy with worry.

Eager to return, Otto spread his wings and quickly flew to the outskirts of the swamp.

However, what puzzled him was that not only did he not see Sofia and Saru, but there was also not a single ordinary Lizardman in sight.

“That shouldn’t be!”

Otto felt that something was wrong; in theory, given his condition, even if no one went in to find him, Saru should have left some people waiting here.

Even if Saru didn’t think that way, Sofia definitely wouldn’t agree.

Worried, Otto hurriedly flapped his massive dragon wings and flew towards the Giant Bear Cave.

Normally, a huge creature like Otto flying over the jungle would inevitably startle a large number of birds and beasts.

Yet, the area around him was eerily quiet this time, as if there were no living creatures nearby.

This strange scene made Otto worry even more about Sofia’s safety. He sped up along the way, reaching the Giant Bear Cave as quickly as possible.

But even upon returning there, the situation remained unchanged. The lively Lizardmen and the dumb Ogres had all vanished without a trace.

Otto entered the cave, but there was nothing inside except for the wooden furniture Sofia had instructed the Ogres to make.

“Could… something terrible has really happened?”

Just as Otto had no idea what to do, a Lizardman suddenly appeared in his Keen Intuition.

Like grasping a lifesaving straw, he quickly found the Lizardman, who was clearly heading toward the Giant Bear Cave.

“M… My King, my name is Longleg, and I’ve been waiting for you… ”

The Lizardman Longleg immediately prostrated himself on the ground in reverence upon seeing Otto.

Otto, who was in a hurry, didn’t care about his name and asked directly, “Where’s Sofia?”

Kneeling on the ground without daring to look up, Longleg quickly replied, “Your Majesty, don’t worry, Princess Sofia is now taking refuge in the Lizardman Clan, and she is very safe!”
