Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Surging Power, Gathering Storms
At the same time.
Under the influence of the three materials, Lazuli’s back displayed two more wings once again!
Six radiant wings fully unfurled, each burning with a sacred red flame.
Frenzied energy formed a storm of fire around her, illuminating the area as if it were a furnace.
Under Aster Grant’s gaze, Lazuli’s aura kept rising.
Soon, it reached a critical point.
Seeing this, Aster Grant clenched his fist.
He could feel that if Lazuli could break through this barrier.
Her level would advance to the Myth Level!
If she couldn’t, her talent would remain at Legendary Nine Stars.
But at this moment.
It all depended on her.
"Boom——!"
The red flames suddenly went out of control, turning into a monstrous wave of fire that engulfed the entire room.
Amazingly, these flames seemed to have a life of their own, automatically diverting when about to touch Aster Grant.
Yet the violent explosion alarmed everyone in the Winslow Family.
"By order of the clan leader, no one is allowed to approach!"
Orion Winslow’s authoritative voice echoed through the sky.
A sapphire barrier instantly descended, sealing the out-of-control energy.
Those in the Winslow Family, ready to investigate, stopped short...
With the clan leader’s personal order, who would dare act rashly?
However.
A slender figure dashed against the flow of people, heading towards the barrier.
Crystal Winslow bit her lip, eyes full of worry.
The moment she touched the barrier, the sapphire curtain parted like water waves...
The barrier posed no obstacle to her!
Deep within the Winslow ancestral grounds.
The clan leader stood with hands behind his back, eyes as sharp as a hawk’s.
He knew very well what was happening inside the barrier...
That young man was enhancing his Beastbond talent!
This was unprecedented in the millennium history of Beast Taming in Draconia!
"Crystal..."
The clan leader murmured softly, a glimmer of hope passing through his eyes.
"Perhaps the defects in our Winslow bloodline could be completely resolved in this young man..."
Inside the barrier.
Crystal Winslow was speechless in shock at the scene before her.
The sea of red flames billowed, yet they uniquely circumvented Aster Grant in the center.
Seeing this, the Ebon-Frost Ice Phoenix swiftly erected an Ice Crystal Shield.
Gazing at the Blazing Angel in the midst of the flames, her eyes were full of vigilance, and even a hint of fear.
Crystal Winslow felt the Ebon-Frost Ice Phoenix’s emotions, her pupils contracted.
It’s worth noting, the last time in the Elven Sanctum with bloodline purification, plus her level breakthrough to Extraordinary.
Relying on the Winslow bloodline, the Ebon-Frost Ice Phoenix’s talent had already reached Legendary Seven Stars.
Yet even so...
The Ice Phoenix still felt a trace of fear.
What terrifying realm had that Blazing Angel’s talent reached?
And at this moment, Lazuli’s breakthrough also reached its final juncture.
Lazuli abruptly opened her eyes!
In those golden pupils, a mysterious Divine Pattern emerged!
"Break!"
With a clear shout, the sky-filled red flames suddenly solidified.
The next second, all the flames transformed into a brilliant crimson gold as if touched by a divine hand!
The terrifying heat even caused the Ice Shield formed by the Ebon-Frost Ice Phoenix to start cracking, fine lines spreading like a web.
"Chirp——!"
The Ice Phoenix let out an urgent cry, the ice crystals on its wings beginning to melt.
Crystal Winslow’s heart trembled violently, she took one last deep look at Aster Grant and decisively retreated with the Ice Phoenix.
She knew that staying any longer could cause irreversible damage to her Beastbond!
Inside the barrier, the crimson gold divine fire danced as if alive.
Lazuli hovered in the center of the sea of fire, the Divine Patterns on the eight wings lighting up one by one.
When the last Divine Pattern lit up——
"Boom!"
A pillar of light that reached the heavens and earth pierced the sky, Lazuli’s aura finally broke through its shackles, stepping into an entirely new realm!
Aster Grant stared blankly at the scene before him...
[Divine Angel (Lazuli)]
[Talent: Myth One Star]
[Level: Extraordinary Tier One]
[Power: 1020]
[Constitution: 1010]
[Spiritual: 1000]
[Speed: 1030]
[Skills: Blazing Angel Form (Eight-winged State) (Includes Judgment, Divine Protection!), Doomsday Angel Form (Ten-winged State, causes weakness upon use), Celestial Fire Domain (Initial Tier)]
[Evolution: Angel Divine Blood, Light Holy Crystal...]
Aster Grant gazed at the data on the glowing screen, his pupils slightly contracting.
While Lazuli’s attributes increased by only 200 points, her skills had been completely renewed.
She now possessed two forms!
Blazing Angel and Doomsday Angel!
The current Blazing Angel Form...
Had already reached Eight Wings!
And the Doomsday Angel Form...
Could elevate Lazuli to the level of a Ten-winged Doomsday Angel!
According to Michael Miller earlier, Lazuli’s father had only reached the level of an Eight-winged Angel!
And now, his Little Angel was on the cusp of ten wings!
As for the final Celestial Fire Domain...
It carried the power of a Domain!
Already beyond what the Extraordinary Level could grasp!
All things considered.
Unless an Extraordinary Peak Beast Tamer took action, otherwise...
Lazuli could sweep through the entire Extraordinary Level!
With the little girl’s talent rising to the Myth level, one of Aster Grant’s concerns finally settled.
And next.
Aster Grant’s gaze fell on the green cocoon within the Beastbond Space.
Was to awaken this little one!
And obtain a second Myth Level Beastbond!
...
At Aegis Academy.
Several Monarch Level Beast Tamers barged into Principal Drake’s office.
"Principal Drake, why would you agree to such an outrageous request from that student!"
"The Sacred Beastbond Pool requires even us Monarch Level to queue for an application, yet you agreed to give it to an Extraordinary level kid?!"
"Yes, setting such a precedent, what if other geniuses follow suit?"
Zane Drake slowly put down the teacup in his hand, his gaze as sharp as a blade sweeping over them.
These Monarchs from noble families, their minds full of family interests...
Besides families like the Quinn and Winslows truly serving the country, the rest were mere parasites!
"You..." His voice suddenly turned cold, "are questioning my decision?"
"We dare not!"
The Monarch Level Beast Tamers immediately lowered their heads.
They knew even among Monarchs, there were differences.
And those just stepping into Monarch Level were no match for a Monarch Peak like Zane Drake.
However, they couldn’t back down on this issue!!
"This is not just our opinion, over seventy percent of the academy’s Monarch Level..."
"Enough!" Zane Drake’s voice suddenly dropped in temperature, making the room’s glass vibrate with a hum.
"The decision is made! If Aster Grant can awe all the freshmen at the ceremony, then he will have it!"
The others understood this was Zane Drake’s bottom line.
After some deliberation, they agreed.
After all, they reasoned, no matter what a genius Aster Grant was, he was still just one person!
And how many new students were enrolling at Aegis Academy?
Over a thousand!
Not only that, but many freshmen had already reached the Extraordinary level by this time!
Could one person really intimidate over a thousand students?
Impossible!!
