Tensei Shitara Dragon no Tamago Datta ~Ibara no Dragon Road~ - Ch. 42

[Seetee]

Thank you so much for the translation!

Is the skill he got as a plague dragon which spread poison to everyone around easier to control now? Been a while since we heard the voice of god as well...

"Fun" fact: stealing other ants' eggs to supplement their own workforce is a thing some species of ants do IRL!

Best girl Second Head is here to stay for a while.

But.

Spoiler

Here is a preview of what He will soon look like.

So...

Spoiler: Question?

I took a break after the forest arc, where they adopted a spider and got better at human transformation.
How far from that point is the next evolution?

And also, does the 2nd head personality disappear and is only around until he evolves or?

Went from level 1 all the way to 55 with just that ant nest. That's a great grinding spot.

I hope MC didn't overpower himself against hero's fight

like it would be done in 5sec.

That's definitely not what happened to me in Expedition 33. Totally didn't do optional shit right before the game ends and completely overpowered the endboss.

 

[Heavenstar]

Wait who are the rest of those guys

To oversimplify

Spoiler

They are future enemies.

really far. His time as an Ouroboros was the longest among his forms lasting around 300 Web Novel chapters and it happens as soon as the second head was killed(Although she is in some sort of "afterlife".

Too busy trying to figure out what his other self is doing to pay attention to the actual enemy. Classic dual head creature.

Death spells in video games are usually only effective on enemies you don't need it on. Unless your name is Vanille.

Honestly, that one was a rare case of it being a legit good call. He had no time to go and give a finishing blow, but that move can do it remotely, and having a second head doing it means he didn't need to spare any of his focus to get it done.

Since the queen was dying, the stat difference condition was more than met too, so it was a pretty surefire shot.

The death skill also appears to targeted to a specific enemy, rather than impacting a group. That's useful when you don't want to act like a stereotypical dragon and level everything in your path.

I realized that, if he does kill the hero here, it's only going to raise the MC's notoriety. The hero has someone high in not-catholics' hierarchy backing him. Once the hero is dead, it'll be much easier to mourn him for propaganda than to spread the news of a friendly evil dragon taking out a corrupt church official. Only a select few will continue to know the truth about him.

The best case for the MC's image is if the hero barely survives, goes on to do other evil things to the point it can't be covered up, and they end up relying on his help in some way. That's actually a much worse outcome for him than getting tf out and waiting for his next evolution to cover up his identity. He's at 57/75, so the equivalent of a few more ants' nests at most should get him there. The next evolution could come quicker.

I'm not sure how much longer the hero will be in play in the story, but he's so over the top evil that I'm losing interest in him beyond this arc.

novel spoilers. It kinda pisses me off that

Spoiler: spoiler

pretty much all new skills go to the second head.

 

[Zethuron]

Lovely to see him like this. Thanks for the translation!

 

[iririuuu]

mc already looks like an ultimate dragon but since he isn't S rank i guess that he will have another evolution someday, i wonder when he will get telepathy, his species looks like a really inteligent kind of dragon so it would make sense if he learned all sorts of skills and magic
