Chapter 67: Chapter 67: I, Titus King, Am Destined for Emperorship!
However.
This outrageous maneuver by Aster Grant put Titus King, who had just arrived nearby, in a tough spot.
At this moment.
He was crouched in the crevice of a giant rock, holding his breath, staring intently at the distant tide of the Demon Clan, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead.
"Damn! Which idiot deliberately lured so many of the Demon Clan over, do they have a death wish?"
He cursed under his breath, squeezing his body further into the crevice, wishing he could embed himself into the stone.
Even though he had contracted a Lava Dragon-Lizard of Legendary Level talent, in the face of such a number of the Demon Clan...
Let alone Awakened Tier Nine, even at the Extraordinary Level, one might be torn to shreds!
"Damn it! My entire upgrade plan has been ruined by this fool!"
He cursed again, keeping his voice extremely low for fear of attracting the attention of the Demon Clan.
After entering the Sanctum, he noticed the anomaly—
The number of the Demon Clan far exceeded the past, almost identical to the mutation five years ago.
Initially, he was secretly ecstatic, thinking he could easily break the record this time, but reality gave him a harsh slap—
The energy gained from killing the Demon Clan was pitifully little!
"Damn it..."
He glanced at the Drake beside him, though it had Legendary Level talent, it had just barely broken through to Awakening Tier Four, still a step away from Tier Five.
However, as long as the Drake’s level was raised two more tiers, he could completely turn things around, no longer needing to hide and scuttle like now!
By then, his Drake would surely sweep through the entire Sanctum!
"Boom—"
Suddenly, the ground trembled, and a Awakened Tier Nine Demon Clan member appeared out of nowhere, its terrifying pressure sweeping over.
Titus stiffened all over, instantly held his breath, and squeezed further into the crevice, almost merging into the shadows.
"For now, keep a low profile..."
He thought to himself, eyes flashing ruthlessly.
"When I grow stronger..."
"I shall possess the potential of an emperor!"
...
At this moment.
Aster Grant looked at the Demon Clan surging in like a tide, but instead, a smile appeared on his lips.
"Since the energy from a single Demon Clan member has become less..."
When quality isn’t enough, make up for it with quantity!
If one lure isn’t enough to boost Vera to Awakened Tier Nine, then try twice!
The Demon Clans, discovering the source of the blood scent, went mad all at once, roaring as they rushed at Aster Grant.
The dark mass of the demonic tide almost covered the sky, the ground shaking violently under their countless steps.
Yet Aster Grant stood still.
He slowly lifted his gaze, focusing on Vera beside him.
"Vera! Make your move!"
With Aster Grant’s signal, Vera gracefully rose into the air.
Although Vera was currently only at Awakened Tier Six, as a Group Attack Type Beast Taming, she excelled at—
Winning with fewer against many!
Moreover...
[Nature Elf (Vera)]
[Talent: Myth Two Stars]
[Level: Awakened Tier Six]
[Power: 180]
[Constitution: 204]
[Spiritual: 810]
[Speed: 193]
[Skills: Natural Lament, Elf Monarchy, Natural Domain (Beginner)]
[Evolution: Heart of Nature, Spring of Life...]
Vera’s spiritual attribute had reached 800 points!
Even the demon clans at Awakened Tier Nine only had attributes around 300 points!
And Vera’s were almost three times theirs!
This means.
As long as Vera’s spiritual power isn’t exhausted...
No matter how many demons come, Vera can take them all on!
"Natural Lament!"
Vera’s golden hair danced wildly without wind, and she raised her hands slightly.
Behind her, a jade divine ring unfolded with a thunderous roar, turning the entire sky emerald green!
Triple Celestial Calamity - Descent!
First Heavenly Calamity!
Bone-Eroding Vine Sea!
The earth emitted a painful groan, countless blood-red thorns tearing through its surface.
These living vines acted like ravenous demons, draining any demon who touched them of their blood and flesh, leaving nothing but white bones clattering to the ground.
Second Heavenly Calamity!
Azure Sky Thunderfall!
Thousands of emerald thunders erupted in the clouds, each main bolt splitting into hundreds of thunder snakes on impact.
The entire battlefield transformed into an electrified forest, with demons convulsing in the dancing flashes before becoming charred remains.
Third Heavenly Calamity!
Earth Vein Suction!
A gigantic natural array emerged on the ground, forcibly extracting the demonic qi from all demon remains.
This dark energy circulated within the array, purifying into a verdant spiritual torrent, continuously nourishing Vera.
The first two calamities provided powerful output, while the third maintained Vera’s endurance.
A perfect closed loop!
"So this is... the true power of a Myth Level beast?"
Aster Grant looked at the battlefield, which had changed the color of heaven and earth, feeling for the first time what "Divine Level" meant.
Although Vera’s level was only Awakened Tier Six, the power unleashed by her skills...
Was no less than that of the Extraordinary Level!
And as the demon clans were continually eliminated, Vera’s level gradually increased....
[Nature Elf (Vera)]
[Talent: Myth Two Stars]
[Level: Awakened Tier Nine]
[Power: 310]
[Constitution: 320]
[Spiritual: 1130]
[Speed: 300]
[Skills: Natural Lament, Elf Monarchy, Natural Domain (Beginner)]
Vera’s spiritual attribute directly broke through the thousand-point threshold.
And her level shot up to Awakened Tier Nine!
At the edge of the battlefield.
The entire team from before stood still.
"I... I didn’t misperceive!" The Perception-type Beastmaster’s voice trembled, "There really is someone who can annihilate a group of demons in an instant!"
"No need for perception anymore..." The captain stared hard at the distant emerald divine light, "We... saw it for ourselves."
The expressions on several faces were filled with disbelief—
How could a beastmaster from the same batch entering the Sanctum be so powerful?
Hundreds of demons were reduced to ashes under a single skill!
"What on earth is the rank of that beast? Legendary Level?"
"No! Legendary Level... could never wield this kind of power!"
On the other side.
"Boom——!!!"
Titus King in the crevice was deafened by the thunderous noise.
He cautiously peeked his head out, just in time to see——
The jade divine ring illuminating the heavens, the thousands of thunderfalls pouring down, the blood-red Vine Sea devouring the demons...
"This... this is impossible..."
Titus’ pupils shrank to pinpoints, his entire bloodstream seemed to freeze.
His Lava Dragon-Lizard had top-tier talent, but even if it broke through to Awakened Tier Nine...
It could never achieve such earth-shattering power!
"How could this be..."
Titus grasped the rock tightly, his knuckles turning white.
His pride, shattered at this moment.
"Myth Level... it must be Myth Level..."
This realization made him tremble all over, due to fear...
But more so due to——
A maddening jealousy!
Outside the Sanctum.
Suddenly, a commotion rose from the crowd.
"Look quickly! The rankings have been updated!"
Instantly, everyone’s eyes snapped to the leaderboard—
[First Place, Aster Grant, 57 minutes]
[Second Place, Noelle Quinn, 9 hours 15 minutes]
[Third Place, River Winslow, 28 hours 17 minutes]
...
After a brief silence, the scene erupted!
"Impossible! Aster Grant must be cheating, how could he surpass Noelle?!"
"57 minutes?! Is he even human?!"
"Just the travel time should take longer than that, right?! Doesn’t he need to find demons?"
Crystal Winslow’s pupils contracted sharply, but soon, a hint of realization flashed in her eyes.
She recalled the strange feeling when she first saw that beast, now everything made sense.
And Zane Drake looked at Aster Grant’s first-place ranking.
He was also slightly lost in thought.
Aster Grant took less than an hour?
Then what is the rank of his second beast?
Bear in mind, Noelle Quinn’s beast was personally selected by him... It is the top Legendary Beast!
Yet even so, Noelle’s clearance speed was eight hours slower than Aster’s.
What does this imply?
This means Aster Grant’s second beast could crush the top Legendary.
Could it be...
Another Myth Level beast?
