Chapter 331: Encounter with the Unknown
331 – Encounter with the Unknown
For the time being, I safely land and let down the petit nightmare and treant. Aro stays on my head. If she likes being up there, then I don’t mind…
『I’m hungry.』
My partner complains, a slightly frenzied look in her eyes. Having flown almost an entire day, I’m also feeling terrible hunger and exhaustion. If I can’t find proper food on this island, then to be honest, I’m not confident in my ability to return alive.
I look around, but this entire area seems to be grasslands. The occasional weird-looking flower with long, thin rainbow-coloured petals sprouts up, embellishing the fantastical nature of the scenery.
An isolated tree can be seen far away, surrounded by the rainbow-coloured flowers. It appears to have a single, bright-red fruit. Is it an apple? Its colour is weirdly vibrant, but it might be worth checking out and letting my partner eat.
There aren’t any monsters that I can see. Huge trees and cliffs are visible in the distance, and in the other direction, I can see the ocean being sucked into the huge hole. Th-this place might be a little hard to settle down in…
For the time being, the objectives are the securing of a safe food source and a place to sleep. After that is raising my level. Raising Aro and the other’s levels wouldn’t be bad either.
Moreover, ever since I defeated the hero, I’ve had the mysterious [Human Realm] skill. The moment the hero lost it, his level cap went down, and it might have some effect on how I evolve. If so, then in my next evolution, there’s a chance that ouroboros’s negatives might be made up for and I could turn into a decent dragon… This could be a chance. There was once something like a demi-human among my evolution options. So maybe something similar could come up again.
