Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Special Sanctum! Attribute Enhancement!
The startled cry of the Cat Clan girl made Aster Grant and the two others freeze on the spot.
What on earth is a Prophet?
And after the Cat Clan girl’s explanation, the group finally understood what she meant by "Prophet Lord."
This Sanctum is essentially a world unto itself.
The Elven Race used to be a large tribe, with many subordinate races.
During that war, the Elven Race and its numerous subordinate races collectively migrated to this Sanctum to escape calamity.
"Although the Sanctum protected us from the ravages of war, it also became an inescapable prison."
The Cat Clan girl looked downcast.
Within the Sanctum, the world’s laws are incomplete, making it nearly impossible to level up.
The power of the new generation grows weaker and weaker; now, even Extraordinary Level beastkin are few and far between.
What’s more, aside from being unable to advance...
She bit her lip, a flicker of fear crossing her eyes:
"But what’s terrifying is, half a year ago, the Demon Clan infiltrated our world!"
At this point, her voice trembled slightly, and she suddenly knelt down:
"Sally begs you, sirs, please save us here!"
"The Demon Clan is converging towards the Holy City at the center of the Sanctum! If the Holy City is destroyed, the Elven Race’s heritage will be completely severed..."
Her eyes reddened, her voice choked with emotion, "Moreover... my father, he is also there..."
Aster Grant reached out and held Sally’s shoulder, stopping her from continuing to kneel.
Since they knew that the Elven Race’s heritage was in the Holy City, they were definitely bound for the city.
Aster Grant turned and asked Crystal Winslow and Laney for their opinions.
Crystal Winslow nodded, "I have no objections!"
Both of them being from Draconia, she naturally chose to go with Aster Grant.
But Laney shook her head.
"I’m sorry, I might have to leave. My purpose this time isn’t the heritage of the Elven Race, so I’ll take my leave for now."
Aster Grant and Crystal Winslow exchanged a glance, understanding each other with a nod.
They were merely temporary companions, with no need to insist on traveling together.
After bidding farewell to the two, Laney turned and left.
Until she vanished from their sight.
The mysterious girl suddenly stretched, her graceful waistband drawing an elegant arc in the sunlight.
With a crisp snap of her fingers, her disguise faded away like a tide.
"I’m exhausted!" Veronica Vero rubbed her sore shoulders, "Being in disguise isn’t easy!"
The black cat in her arms lightly landed on the ground, its form swelling into a majestic Black Panther in the blink of an eye.
A hint of helplessness flashed in its dark golden beast eyes:
"Miss Vero, you’re still so fond of playing."
"Call me Laney～" Veronica pouted, twirling a lock of hair around her finger, "I just love the sound of this name."
The Black Panther sighed, its thick tail swaying gently.
As a beastbond guarding the Vero Family for generations, it understood this young lady’s nature all too well.
Her bloodline is the purest among all your ancestors, her talent extraordinary.
But it was precisely because of this that everyone had spoiled her into this playful personality.
"Alright, alright, I won’t tease you anymore."
Veronica suddenly grew serious, her emerald eyes flashing with sharpness:
"It’s time to find the token my grandfather left here."
"But how exactly did that old man slip in here?"
Hearing the young lady refer to the old head of the family so "affectionately," the Black Panther’s whiskers quivered.
"Miss Vero, better be careful. Should you encounter danger..."
"Relax, relax, if anything dangerous shows up, you’ll be there, right?"
...
Elsewhere, Sally was leading Aster Grant and Crystal Winslow swiftly towards the Holy City at the center of the Sanctum.
As they delved deeper, the number of demons they encountered along the way visibly increased.
Yet.
In front of Lazuli, these demons were as fragile as paper, being wiped out in an instant.
However, after consecutively slaughtering dozens of demons, Aster Grant keenly sensed something amiss.
He frowned, glancing at Crystal Winslow beside him, and saw the same confusion flicker in her eyes.
"Strange..."
Aster Grant murmured, "By right, after killing so many demons, Lazuli should have already broken through to the Extraordinary Tier."
Sally noticed their doubts and hurriedly explained:
"Sirs, due to the Sanctum’s special rules, killing demons here indeed won’t increase one’s level, but..."
She paused, "These energies will convert to attribute enhancement, but the amplification effect is limited."
"Attribute Enhancement?"
Aster Grant’s eyes lit up, and he immediately brought up Lazuli’s attribute panel.
[Divine Angel (Lazuli)]
[Talent: Legendary Three Stars]
[Level: Awakened Tier Nine]
[Power: 302→312]
[Constitution: 301→311]
[Spiritual: 307→317]
[Speed: 314→324]
[Skills: Judgment, Divine Protection, Blazing Angel Form, Song of the End]
After clearly seeing Lazuli’s various attributes, Aster Grant’s pupils slightly contracted.
Each basic attribute increased by about ten points!
Looking at it this way...
It seems that within this Sanctum, the Demon Clan is the greatest treasure!
Out of curiosity, he also checked Sally’s attributes:
[Cat Beastman (Sally)]
[Level: Awakening Tier Seven]
[Talent: Excellent Four Stars]
[Power: 212]
[Constitution: 213]
[Spiritual: 201]
[Speed: 232]
[Skills: Beastification...]
When the data came into view, Aster Grant took a deep breath.
Only now did he realize how unusual Sally’s attributes were.
It should be known that the various attributes of a typical Awakening Tier Seven excellent level beastbond only have about 120 points.
Whereas Sally’s attributes were nearly 100 points higher than those of ordinary beastbonds!
"No wonder she could survive the siege of five Awakened Tier Nine demons..."
Meanwhile, Crystal Winslow also noticed an increase in the Ice Phoenix’s attributes and turned her head, exchanging a glance with Aster Grant.
With their eyes meeting, an immediate understanding and agreement was reached.
Apart from the original mission of seeking the Elven Race’s heritage....
This mission’s objective had gained an addition!
Hunt demons to boost attributes!
Aster Grant did some quick calculations.
If Lazuli could increase her attributes by nearly a hundred points within the Sanctum, then coupled with the system’s talent enhancement functionality...
By the time she breaks through to the Transcendent, what terrifying figures will her attribute values reach?
Extraordinary Tier Three...
No, possibly even Tier Four ordinary beastbonds might not match Lazuli.
If you add the enhancement of the Blazing Angel Form, challenging Tier Five would perhaps be quite easy!
Thinking of this, Aster Grant looked at the menacing demons with a fervent gaze.
These were hardly vicious enemies, they were clearly walking attribute points!
"Lazuli, leave not a single demon in this Sanctum today!"
Upon discovering the benefits of slaying these demons, the little girl’s eyes suddenly sparkled with excitement.
After all, growing stronger is every beastbond’s pursuit!
Moreover, here, the way to grow stronger is so simple!
"At your command, Master!"
When Lazuli got serious, all demons along the way were doomed.
Whether they were Tier Five fodder, or Tier Nine elites, they all crumbled before her like paper mâché.
Because of this, Lazuli’s attributes continued to climb at a visibly rapid pace.
