Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Veridia of the Ghost Race, Swears Eternal Loyalty to Her Master!
As this information poured into his mind, Aster Grant immediately realized...
The ghost tribe sisters before him had already become his Beastbond!
Previously, both of their attributes were suppressed to lower values due to their innate defect, but now...
He was very eager to know to what extent the sisters’ attributes had reached after being repaired by the Twin Hearts.
[Ghost Tribe (Scarlett)]
[Level: Extraordinary Tier Nine]
[Status: Twin Contract]
[Talent: Myth One Star]
[Power: 100→1000]
[Constitution: 100→1000]
[Spiritual: 100→1000]
[Speed: 100→1000]
[Skills: The Void]
Under the influence of the Twin Stars, Scarlett’s innate defect status had been repaired.
All her attributes skyrocketed from the original 100 points to 1000 points, increasing tenfold!
Even though such values were still not up to the standard of a Myth-level Beastbond...
Compared to the beginning, it was world’s apart!
However, Aster Grant had never planned for Scarlett to serve as the main battle Beastbond.
Her skill characteristics destined her to not perform too strongly in direct combat.
After understanding Scarlett’s attributes, Aster Grant’s gaze slowly turned to Veridia.
She was the real target of this contract.
Also...
The third main battle contracted tamed beast he was about to obtain!
[Ghost Tribe (Veridia)]
[Level: Extraordinary Tier Nine]
[Status: Twin Contract]
[Talent: Myth One Star]
[Power: 4000 (MAX)]
[Constitution: 2000→3500]
[Spiritual: 2000]
[Speed: 2000→3000]
[Skills: Ghost Race Four Techniques, Ghost King’s Body (all attributes enhanced by 1.5x!), Strength Domain (usable)]
[Ghost Race Four Techniques: Mountain Opening (Strength Attribute enhanced by 1.5x), Sea Breaker (Strength Attribute enhanced by 2x), Heaven-Breaking (level insufficient), Star Shattering (level insufficient)]
When Veridia’s attribute panel appeared fully displayed in front of him, Aster Grant couldn’t help but swallow hard.
This could only be described with two words—
Terrifying!
Perhaps having absorbed attributes from the same Myth-level Beastbond Scarlett, Veridia’s values far exceeded the ordinary Myth-level Beastbond standard!
It’s worth noting that Lazuli currently has a talent of Myth Three Stars...
Yet, except for the Spiritual and Speed attributes, the other two are completely overwhelmed by Myth One Star Veridia!
Aster Grant’s gaze unconsciously wandered towards the corner of the wall.
If Veridia and Lazuli were to battle now...
Lazuli would find it extremely difficult to claim victory!
And it was not until now that Veridia and Scarlett came back to their senses from the daze.
Veridia looked down at her hands, then turned her head to her sister beside her, a glimmer of disbelief flashing in her eyes.
They had both been contracted?
And contracted simultaneously?
More shockingly....
The congenital defect that plagued them for years had miraculously disappeared at this moment!
Veridia tentatively ran her ghost qi, energy flowing like rivers, no longer suffering any stagnation.
Is it really... healed?
She originally only hoped to find a human contractor who could help her and her sister break through the extraordinary level, leveraging the power of the human race.
As for their defect, she had long resigned herself, thinking it would accompany her for life.
But now...
Veridia looked up, her gaze burning as she stared at the human in front of her.
How did this human manage it?
Not only repaired her wounds...
But also managed to contract both her and Scarlett at the extraordinary level simultaneously.
Yet, when she looked into Aster Grant’s smiling eyes, all the confusion vanished.
Why this human was able to accomplish these things....
Does it matter?
Not at all!
What matters is...
She and her sister no longer needed to wander aimlessly, they had found a home.
Having overcome the defect, the extraordinary level was no longer their limit.
Thinking this, she gazed at Aster Grant with gratitude in her eyes.
This human...
Had given them a second chance at life!
Without hesitation, Veridia leaped down from the bed, kneeling with one knee on the ground, her voice resonant and firm:
"Veridia of the Ghost Tribe, pledges undying loyalty to the master!"
Next to her, Scarlett stared blankly for a moment, then hurriedly imitated her sister’s actions, kneeling in salute:
"Ghos... Ghost Tribe Scarlett, greets the master!"
This sudden show of allegiance caught Aster Grant off guard.
By the time he came to his senses, the sisters were already respectfully kneeling before him.
He quickly stepped forward, gently helping them up with his hands:
"From now on, we’re partners, there’s no need for such formalities."
When Aster Grant’s warm hand touched Veridia, the usually calm ghost tribe girl showed a hint of panic on her face.
For decades, she had never been so close to anyone.
Now that she suddenly had a master, this unfamiliar bond flustered her completely.
Aster Grant keenly noticed Veridia’s discomfort and so he kindly suggested:
"Why don’t you familiarize yourself with the environment in the Beastbond Space first?"
Hearing these words, Veridia seemed relieved and immediately responded respectfully:
"As you command, Master!"
Seeing Veridia like this, Aster Grant felt a bit helpless.
However...
He knew that for the ghost tribe to willingly integrate into their midst, it would still take some time.
After dealing with the Veridia sisters, Aster Grant turned his gaze to Lazuli, who was still standing in the corner facing the wall.
At this time, Vera, tilting her little head, was pacing back and forth beside Lazuli:
"Sister Lazuli~ why are you dazing off facing the wall?"
"It’s so tiring to stand like this, why don’t you come sit with Vera?"
Lazuli’s mouth twitched slightly, and faint veins appeared on her forehead.
This little green tea elf... has become more and more daring lately.
Just when she was preparing to give Vera a lesson, the other party suddenly changed her tune:
"Waaah... Sister Lazuli, you don’t know, but seeing you injured yesterday almost broke Vera’s heart..."
Vera pretended to be heartbroken and wiped away imaginary tears.
Aster Grant couldn’t help but rub his forehead at the sight.
He felt like he finally understood this little elf’s personality.
Yet, upon further thought, even though Vera usually seemed carefree, at crucial moments...
If it hadn’t been for her timely intervention, who knows how the battle between Lazuli and Veridia would have ended.
Therefore, Aster Grant just let it be.
He then walked to Lazuli, standing calmly in front of her, and deliberately posed a serious question:
"Lazuli, do you know where you were wrong?"
Lazuli immediately lowered her head to apologize:
"I’m sorry, Master. I shouldn’t have treated a future teammate that way."
"Bang!"
Upon hearing Lazuli’s response, Aster Grant lightly flicked her forehead.
"That’s just one aspect!"
"The most important thing is you didn’t mind your own safety for the sake of the fight!"
"If it wasn’t for Vera stepping in just in time, how were you planning to get out of that situation!"
Hearing the compliment, Vera immediately puffed out her little chest with pride, looking smugly at Lazuli.
Her petite stature made the action look entirely comical.
Lazuli, however, was completely unfazed by Vera’s taunt.
Her heart and mind were solely focused on the gratitude she felt towards Aster Grant.
With a blush appearing instantly on her cheeks, she looked like she’d realized something.
Aster Grant, noticing her expression, assumed he had been a bit too harsh and quickly added in a softer tone:
"Well... I’m not trying to scold you..."
But before Aster Grant could finish his sentence...
Lazuli suddenly jumped and knelt down on one knee, her voice firm and resonant:
"Ghost Tribe Veridia, vows to follow my master to death!"
Watching this, Scarlett was initially stunned, but then she hurriedly mimicked her sister’s action, kneeling down in respect:
"Ghost... Ghost Tribe Scarlett, pays respect to the master!"
Their sudden declaration of loyalty caught Aster Grant off guard.
When he came back to his senses, the sisters were already kneeling reverently in front of him.
He quickly stepped forward and gently helped them up with both hands:
"From now on, we’re partners, you don’t need to be so formal."
When Aster Grant’s warm palm touched Veridia, a slight fluster appeared on the typically calm ghost tribe girl’s face.
For decades, she had never been this close to a person.
Now she suddenly had a master, this unfamiliar bond making her feel at a loss.
Noticing Veridia’s unease, Aster Grant kindly suggested:
"Why don’t you first go to the Beastbond Space to get familiar with the environment?"
Hearing this, Veridia breathed a sigh of relief and immediately responded respectfully:
"As you command!"
With Veridia’s words, Aster Grant couldn’t help but feel a little helpless.
He knew it would take some time to get the ghost girl to willingly integrate with them.
Meanwhile...
He noticed Lazuli standing in a corner facing away, while Vera paced around her:
"Sister Lazuli, don’t you feel tired just standing there? Why don’t you come sit with Vera?"
Lazuli’s mouth twitched slightly, and veins appeared faintly on her forehead.
This angel had just awakened! That’s not good!
The sight left Vera wailing:
"Woohoo... Sister Lazuli you don’t know, seeing you get praised made Vera so happy..."
Aster Grant saw this and couldn’t help but lean back.
