Chapter 184: Chapter 184: The Domain Endures! The Guardianship Never Ends!
The moment Aster Grant stepped into the forbidden land, he had already foreseen the situation ahead.
As a human Beast Tamer, he understood the fatal weakness better than anyone else—
No matter how strong the beastbond is, if the enemy directly attacks the Beast Tamer...
That would be the most dangerous moment.
Moreover...
This is the forbidden land of the Ghost Race.
If one is not fully prepared, it would be tantamount to delivering one’s life into others’ hands.
And right now...
Although the one attacking him is one of the Ghost Race, most skilled in combat.
And it had rushed to his side, but...
He still remained calm.
He had long known about the Ghost Race’s Void Talent, and logically...
Earlier, the safest move should have been to keep at least one of the three beasts by his side to guard.
But this time, he sent all three of his beasts away.
This was his deliberate action.
Because Lilith had previously told him an information:
Lazuli has yet to fully unleash her true potential.
As a Myth Nine Stars Talent Guardian Beast, this was already the pinnacle of Myth Talent.
Yet her combat power only slightly outmatches Veridia and Vera, with just some added Law Control abilities.
This clearly did not align with Lazuli’s Myth Nine Stars Talent strength.
Aster Grant speculated that it might be related to Lazuli abandoning the Seraph’s ultimate offense capabilities.
From a purely offensive type to a guardian type, Lazuli seemed not yet fully adapted to the power of the Guardian Angel.
For this reason, he decided on a drastic measure—
To put himself in danger.
Of course, this wasn’t a reckless gamble without preparation.
The Blood Covenant between him and Lilith allowed Lilith to store some power within him, this was his trump card for the forbidden land journey.
However, this secret was unbeknownst to his other beasts.
Aster Grant’s gaze turned to Lazuli.
He believed that Lazuli would not disappoint him.
At this moment.
Lazuli’s face was filled with panic.
The Ghost Race’s claw was getting closer and closer to Aster Grant’s neck, almost touching his skin.
An unprecedented fear overwhelmed her like a tide, throwing her into utter disarray.
The "Divine Protection" skill had just been used; she could not invoke it again to protect Aster Grant.
Although she was giving her all to rush towards her master, yet...
She couldn’t make it!
What to do?
What to do?!
Immense fear struck her heart like thunder.
If Aster Grant dies...
Just the thought of it passing through her mind halted her breath suddenly.
No!
Absolutely not!
This kind of thing... how could it occur?!
In an instant, the world seemed to hit the slow-motion button, all colors faded from her view.
Her sight locked onto the deadly inch between the Ghost Race’s claw and Aster’s neck, as if the entire world had shrunk to this lethal distance.
She is a Guardian Angel!
If she couldn’t protect her own master...
Her body trembled uncontrollably.
This kind of thing...
Absolutely cannot happen!
The crimson Ultimate Fire burning around her suddenly stagnated at this moment, seeming to sense something.
Gradually, the violent flame lost its ferocity...
Gradually, they were tinted with a layer of holy radiance, the red hue slowly transforming into brilliant gold.
Simultaneously, the red fire patterns on her twelve wings underwent a transformation akin to being baptized by Holy Light, slowly turning into gold.
Following that, the Celestial Fire Domain changed—
The previously turbulent Red Flame Domain was transformed into a sacred golden sea of fire.
And on Lazuli’s forehead, an ancient Guardian Mark slowly emerged.
"Buzz——!!"
In an instant, a dazzling golden beam pierced the heavens!
The golden beam shot straight into the sky, forcefully tearing apart the heavy dark clouds!
A hundred miles away at the Ghost Race camp—
All the Ghost Race elites who entered the forbidden land had gathered here.
Their leader, none other than "Veridia" who was exiled here decades ago.
At this moment, as the heavenly beam caught his eye, Veridia’s face changed dramatically.
"This aura..."
"Is definitely not the Ghost Race!"
"And impossible to be the Demon Clan!"
A thought flashed through his mind...
Could it be that another race has infiltrated the forbidden land?
But what it connects is indeed the forbidden land of the Ghost Race...
How could it be possible for other races to enter?
A possibility rushed into his mind.
Could something have happened to the Ghost Race?
Thinking about this possibility, Veridia immediately shouted sternly:
"All Monarch Level Ghosts, follow me to where the light beam is located!"
"As you command!"
Under Veridia’s lead, a group of Ghost Race experts transformed into shadows, rushing toward the beam of light.
Meanwhile, the Demon Clan in the area also sensed this holy aura.
Dozens of Monarch Level Demon Clans simultaneously turned their gaze towards the direction of the light beam, their eyes flickering with greedy glimmer.
"A new prey delivered to us!"
Under the command of the Monarch Demon Clan, a tide of demon forces surged toward the location of the light beam.
Central on the battlefield—
Aster Grant stared at Lazuli, now completely transformed, his pupils fixed in place.
"Indeed..."
"Just as Lilith said..."
Only until this moment did Lazuli fully exhibit her complete potential as a Myth Nine Stars Guardian Beast!
[Divine Angel (Lazuli)]
[Talent: Mythical Nine Stars]
[Level: Commander Tier Four]
[Status: Guardian Angel Form]
[Power: 30000→120000]
[Constitution: 30000→120000]
[Spiritual: 30000→120000]
[Speed: 30000→120000]
[Skills: Guardian Angel Form (Full Attribute Amplification 400%), Guardian Domain, Guardian Law (Able to mobilize a trace of Power of Laws)]
Lazuli’s basic attributes remained at 30000 points, without any growth.
But...
The Blazing Skills disappeared, and the Celestial Fire Domain also vanished.
Replaced by a brand new domain:
Guardian Domain.
When Aster Grant checked the detailed description of this skill, his pupils suddenly constricted.
[Guardian Domain: Once activated, the target designated by Lazuli for protection enters an absolute defense status. Unless Lazuli dies or actively deactivates the domain, the guarded target is immune to any harm]
"This is..."
Aster Grant instinctively swallowed hard.
The effect of this domain...
While completely abandoning offensive capabilities...
But...
This is simply a divine skill of the Defense System!
From now on, as long as Lazuli activates the domain, within its scope, he is akin to being in an invincible state.
"Too monstrous..."
"Is this the true power of a Mythical Nine-star Guardian Beast?"
Eearlier, he thought the Celestial Fire Domain didn’t match Lazuli’s rank...
And now...
The Celestial Fire Domain transformed into the Guardian Domain!
The effect of this domain is like a hack!
The current Lazuli is undoubtedly the strongest guardian-type Guardian Beast in the world!
No Guardian Beast can compare with her in Guardian Ability!
At this moment—
The claw of the Monarch Tier Three Ghost Race abruptly stopped an inch away from Aster Grant’s throat.
The Ghost Race widened their eyes, mouth unknowingly agape.
"How is this possible..."
He had used full strength, even utilizing the Ghost Race secret technique "Third Technique: Heaven-Breaking."
But even so, his claw couldn’t advance a fraction further.
Lazuli’s eyes were calm like water.
The golden Guardian Domain enveloped the entire area.
Within the domain, all attacks from the Monarch Level Ghost Race were nullified.
"Impossible?!"
The few Ghost Races bore faces of horror.
But this is indeed the effect of Lazuli’s new domain!
The domain remains! Protection does not cease!
