Evolving Silver Dragon-Chapter 485 - : 473 Shadow Lord_1
Chapter 485: 473 Shadow Lord_1
Regardless, the Blood Fortress was still one of the three Floating Cities and, in terms of size and combat power, was only slightly inferior to Stania.
Such a massive object moving in the sky couldn’t possibly go unnoticed.
As soon as the Blood Fortress began to retreat, Otto discovered it.
At this time, Otto was testing the specific function of the Dragon Crystal.
Seeing the Blood Fortress about to flee, he immediately ordered the Blackstone Floating City to follow and took to the sky himself with a fast flap of his wings.
A floating city was a valuable asset; he couldn’t let it escape so easily.
With that thought, Otto’s flying speed instantly reached its peak.
However, before he could approach the Blood Fortress, a thick bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, landing on his back with incredible force.
Although this kind of attack couldn’t cause any substantial damage to Otto, it inevitably forced his flying altitude lower.
Before Otto could react, another bolt of lightning hit his head, and then, like a lightning machine gun, one bolt after another landed on him continuously.
The intensity of the lightning storm made Otto feel like it was raining bolts.
This greatly hindered Otto’s normal flight.
When he looked up, he saw that the Blackstone Floating City was experiencing the same situation.
As for the Blood Fortress, it had taken advantage of this opportunity to escape far away.
Damn it, what the hell was going on? Otto couldn’t remember swearing at the heavens recently…
Seeing this situation, Otto became increasingly frustrated.
From the current situation, there was no way to catch up to the Blood Fortress, but Otto discovered the cause of it all.
It looked a lot like divine punishment!
It was worth noting that Otto was immune to ordinary lightning damage.
The lightning currently affecting his body, though weak, was indeed harming him, albeit only slightly more powerful than Endo’s attack.
At his current level of power, only divine-related matters could harm him.
Following this line of thought, Otto scanned the skies and soon noticed something off.
He didn’t recall seeing a massive humanoid-shaped cloud up in the sky, making it very conspicuous in the vastness of the heavens.
Thinking of this, Otto unhesitatingly looked up and fired a Breath of Truth at the weird cloud.
“Whoosh!”
The thick, blue beam, mixed with blazing flames, cut through the sky and pierced the clouds with incredible directness.
The huge, weird cloud was almost instantly penetrated by the intense beam, letting out a sharp, surprised cry.
Soon after, the strange cloud started to shrink, and within a short time, it condensed into an ordinary-sized human male.
Of course, this was just a form displayed externally, and this person had no physical body.
His upper body was a typical human male, wearing soft grey leather armor, a black mask with a red border, making it impossible to see his face. A large, dark cape hung from his back.
His lower body, however, was in a void-like state — not only without substance but also with sparse blue lightning continuously falling from it.
Clearly, Otto’s Breath of Truth hadn’t been entirely without effect on him.
Otto squinted at the figure, who was likely a divine avatar, but he couldn’t tell what the deity’s true form was.
Moreover, compared to the likes of Rose, Bahamut, and Tiamat, this person seemed somewhat inferior.
Not only did the avatar not have a physical form, but also the divine power emanating from it seemed weak.
In short, at his current level of power, Otto could easily crush this level of divine avatar with one hand!
So, should he consider this deity to be stupid or highly skilled?
From the current situation, it seemed that the deity was soon going to sacrifice its own safety, trading it for the successful escape of the Blood Fortress.
Thinking of this, Otto’s face showed a cold sneer.
The God manifesting above him was unfamiliar to Otto, but that didn’t prevent him from killing this bastard in the next moment.
For some reason, just by looking at the figure, the identity of the deity slowly appeared in Otto’s mind.
He was Masek, the legendary God of Thieves, the Master of Shadows, a deity who was always self-confident yet cunning and insidious.
As Otto looked at him, the figure’s gaze remained fixed on Otto.
However, compared to Otto, the deity’s expression seemed much more solemn.
Before coming here to deal with Otto, he hadn’t heard that this Silver Dragon had become so powerful.
Although Otto himself was unaware, the Master of Shadows did indeed have some grievances with him, and the source of the resentment was Caran, which was now under the control of the Holy Light Church.
Before the Holy Light Church appeared, Caran was an incredibly chaotic place where the kingdom’s nobility had oppressed the people for far too long, resulting in a firmly entrenched and vast social class gap.
In such a society, most of the common people lived as underprivileged laborers while also embracing another profession in the shadows.
For survival, they could be thieves, assassins, criminals, or even beggars and rats who scavenged for hidden information.
They were also the most loyal followers of Masek, the Master of Shadows, providing him with abundant faith.
But when the Holy Light Church arrived, everything changed dramatically.
The dirty, chaotic land, filled with poverty and facing constant threats from the nobility, began to change rapidly.
The lives of the underprivileged laborers, who had been willing to do anything for survival, improved drastically.
When the status of the laborers improved, and poverty was replaced with a sense of security and even surplus wealth, the darkness within society gradually dissipated.
The number of assassins, thieves, and beggars in Caran decreased, as did the number of Masek’s followers.
Ultimately, this sudden change caught the attention of the Master of Shadows, but when he searched through all his memories, he couldn’t find any clues about Ikali being a Dragon God.
Finally, he found an opportunity to ask the Mother of Evil Dragons, who enigmatically smiled at him before spitting out a name he had never heard before.
