Chapter 159: Chapter 159: Strange Sense of Closeness!
At this moment.
Above the shattered dome of the chapel, Aster Grant and his three Beastbond beasts stood in mid-air.
Scarlett’s figure was hidden in The Void, waiting for the right moment to strike.
Aster Grant’s icy gaze swept over the scene below.
The Human Race cowered in the corners like lambs waiting for the slaughter.
Meanwhile, the Blood Clan held their crimson goblets with an air of superiority.
Seeing Aster Grant appear with three Beastbond beasts, the Blood Clan paused for a moment in surprise, then quickly regained their composure.
"Where did this foolish human come from? A Commander Level thinks they are invincible?!"
"Kill him! I’ve never tasted the blood of a Commander Level human!"
"Drain him! Maybe our power will greatly increase!"
The Blood Clan shouted excitedly.
But they had no idea...
What kind of monster they were up against!
Listening to the unrestrained discussions of the Blood Clan, Aster Grant’s eyes grew even colder.
He slowly raised his hand, his voice icy and piercing:
"All Blood Clan, leave none alive!"
The moment the order was given, the three Beastbond beasts acted simultaneously.
The Blood Clan in this small town were not strong.
The strongest among them were only Low-level Commanders.
In front of the three Myth Level Beastbond beasts, they didn’t even have a chance to struggle.
"Boom——"
Ultimate Fire, Netherghast Aura, and Life Energy intertwined...
In just a few breaths, the Blood Clan in the chapel were wiped out.
Until the Blood Clan were completely exterminated, the stunned crowd awoke as if from a dream.
"Th-thank you, sir, for saving us!"
"We will never forget your great kindness, sir!"
The survivors knelt on the ground, their foreheads touching the cold floor, their choked voices echoing in the chapel.
As Aster Grant looked at the crowd kneeling on the ground, he furrowed his brows slightly.
He glanced around and found that even Extraordinary Level Beast Tamers were few and far between.
The Crimson See relied too much on the protection of the Blood Clan, so apart from top Human Race powerhouses like the Queen of the Holy See...
Most of the humans had no self-preservation ability.
But all he could do now was help them eliminate these Blood Clan.
What would happen to them next...
Aster Grant could only wish them luck!
His energy was limited, and he was only one person; he definitely couldn’t manage so many people.
But at this moment, he could understand the rationality of Draconia’s policies.
The entire territory of Draconia was surrounded by a giant defensive line.
Within the defensive line, the Demon Clan posed minimal threat to civilians.
But it was different in the Crimson See...
The entire country had no protection.
Each town was only guarded by a few Blood Clan.
Now that the Blood Clan had rebelled, the entire territory of the Holy See was plunged into crisis.
Thinking of this, Aster Grant shook his head and prepared to turn and leave.
But just then...
A small figure suddenly clung to his leg.
"Hmm?"
The sudden touch on his leg startled Aster Grant.
Looking down, he saw...
A silver-haired little girl was tightly clutching his leg, looking up at him with a dazed expression.
So cute!
That was Aster Grant’s first reaction.
He instinctively wanted to check the girl’s information, but found no response.
This meant she was just an ordinary human child.
Cute little ones always tug at the heartstrings.
Aster Grant squatted down and gently picked up the little girl.
Surprisingly, the little girl not only didn’t resist but obediently hugged his neck, resting her little head on his shoulder.
At this moment, the Divine Pattern on Aster Grant’s forehead flickered imperceptibly for a moment, but he didn’t notice.
"Does anyone recognize this child?"
Aster Grant carried the little girl toward the crowd.
The rescued townspeople immediately spoke up:
"She isn’t from our town..."
"She must have been captured by the Blood Clan from elsewhere..."
"We’ve never seen this child before..."
Hearing these explanations, Aster Grant unconsciously furrowed his brow.
For some reason, he felt an inexplicable closeness to the little girl in his arms, but he dismissed it as a mere illusion.
What to do with her...
Looking at the dazed little girl, Aster Grant found himself in a dilemma.
After thinking it over, he decided to find her a suitable foster family.
After all, what kind of life would she have if she followed him?
That would make him a babysitter!
"Is anyone willing to adopt her?"
As soon as he spoke, several women in the crowd raised their hands.
Aster Grant nodded appreciatively and was about to hand the little girl over.....
"Mmm..."
But the little one suddenly tightened her arms, clinging to his neck like a koala bear.
Burying her little face in the crook of his neck, she refused to let go.
At this moment, Vera, Lazuli, and Veridia walked up to Aster Grant, their eyes curiously observing the silver-haired little girl.
"Master..."
Lazuli tilted her head, a hint of puzzlement in her eyes.
"For some reason, I feel a special closeness to her."
Veridia, who rarely spoke, nodded in agreement:
"I feel the same way."
Even Vera added with a frown:
"Master, I feel it too..."
Aster Grant was startled by their words.
If only he felt this way, it could be dismissed as an illusion.
But now even all three beasts felt the same way.
This child...
He looked down at the little girl still clinging tightly to him, his gaze deepening.
To inspire such affection in all three beasts, she must be extraordinary!
"Perhaps we should keep her for now?"
Aster Grant sought the opinion of his beasts.
Lazuli, Veridia, and Vera all nodded in unison.
As Myth Level Beastbond beasts, their instinctive perception couldn’t be wrong.
If they could feel such a connection, it meant...
Keeping this little girl would only be beneficial!
Seeing that his beasts agreed, Aster Grant made up his mind.
They would keep her for now!
But as he gazed down at the silver-haired girl in his arms, his pupils suddenly contracted as if he had thought of something.
He thought of someone...
Lilith, the Progenitor of the Vampires!
But he quickly dismissed that hypothesis!
After all, he had already checked the girl’s information earlier.
No response!
This meant she wasn’t a Xenos.
So she couldn’t be Lilith!
Moreover...
How could Lilith, whom the entire Crimson See was searching for, be so easily found by him in a border town?
Next, Aster Grant planned to head to the center of the Crimson See.
That was the capital city of the Crimson See!
The third evolution material needed for Lazuli— the Light Divine Crystal, was also in the capital!
As for Lazuli’s upgrade materials...
Angel Divine Blood, Light Divine Crystal, Ultimate Fire!
Among these three materials, Angel Divine Blood and Ultimate Fire were already in hand.
As soon as the last material was obtained, Lazuli could evolve once more!
Lazuli’s Talent had already reached Myth Five Stars. If it evolved again...
Could it possibly break through to Myth Nine Stars?
Or perhaps surpass the Myth Level entirely, reaching a realm beyond Myth!
With this in mind, a glimmer of anticipation appeared in Aster Grant’s eyes.
But before all of that...
He must first find a way to resolve the current issues with the Crimson See!
