Chapter 137: Chapter 137: Commander Level! A New Domain!
Azurea.
Aegis Academy.
Skylar Winslow stood with his hands behind his back, his aged figure still standing tall and straight.
After Zane Drake led all the Monarch Level elites away, Skylar was urgently appointed as the commander of Draconia of Azurea!
As the last trump card left by Zane Drake on Azurea, he was currently staring intently at the emergency report in his hand.
"Clan Leader, the demonic qi fluctuation on the Void Gate has been confirmed to be the work of the Demon Clan."
Orion Winslow reported solemnly:
"All pathways are currently sealed off, I suspect..."
"The Demon Clan plans to attack Azurea."
Skylar took over the conversation, a sharp light flickering in his eyes.
This speculation is by no means without basis.
The Demon Clan wouldn’t go to such lengths without significant intent.
But then again, due to the barriers between realms, the number of Monarch Level Demon Clan members able to traverse to Azurea would be limited, with the main force likely being low-tier demons.
"Dispatch orders!"
Skylar decisively issued commands.
"Mobilize all Extraordinary Tier Five and above students of Aegis Academy to guard the four Void Gates."
"Simultaneously, order the city lords of surrounding regions to immediately lead their forces for reinforcement!"
There are a total of five Void Gates within Draconia of Azurea.
One of them is right in the capital city!
As for the other four, they are located in the southeast, southwest, and northwest, in four different directions.
The Void Gate to the south...
Is near Lythos!
"Attempt to contact The Council for support again."
Skylar added, but his frown deepened.
At this moment, as his spiritual power extended, he found that the entire Draconia seemed to be shrouded by some barrier, making the distress signals...
Hard to successfully transmit!
Just as Skylar’s orders were being relayed—
Above the capital, a ghastly space crack slowly ripped open, and thick demonic qi oozed out like ink from the crack, spreading across the sky.
"They came so quickly!"
Orion Winslow’s pupils contracted sharply, and he immediately shouted sternly:
"All Commander Level instructors, immediately lead the students to form defenses at the Void Gates!"
The remaining dozens of Commander Level Beast Tamers in Aegis Academy moved upon receiving the order, swiftly organizing the students to line up and set off.
Orion Winslow looked up at the ever-expanding space crack, silently praying in his heart:
Hopefully, the Demons descending this time... won’t be too strong...
...
Three days passed in a flash.
Within the Sacred Beastbond Pool, Aster Grant’s energy absorption had reached a critical point.
At this moment, in his Beastbond Space, two domains, one red and one silver, coexisted harmoniously....
Under the reconciliation of the Divine Pattern, the two originally repulsive forces merged perfectly.
"Boom!"
Aster abruptly opened his eyes, a violent momentum sweeping out like a tidal wave.
The new power flowing within him made him involuntarily stretch out his hands:
His left hand was surrounded by a silvery-white aura, and his right hand was entwined with blood-red energy.
"Is this... the power of a domain?"
With a slight thought, his body began to slowly float.
It was just as he understood, once reaching Commander Level, gravity can no longer confine a Beast Tamer!
Upon reaching this level, one could use domain abilities to fly.
Bringing up the attribute panel, new data appeared before him:
[Aster Grant]
[Tamed Beasts: Divine Angel, Nature Elf, Ghost Race Veridia, Ghost Race Scarlett]
[Contract Quota: 3/4]
[Level: Commander Tier One]
[Talent: Sovereign, Soul-devouring]
[Power: 4000→5000]
[Constitution: 4000→5000]
[Spiritual: 4000→5000]
[Speed: 4000→5000]
[Special State: Human Race’s Favor]
[Domain: Emperor’s Might (Evolved from Sovereign), Absolute Forbidden Domain (Evolved from Soul-devouring)]
Upon leveling up to Commander Level...
Each attribute increased by a thousand points again!
The original 4000 attribute points have now been raised to 5000!
Besides...
Most importantly, there were now additional domains.
As he suspected, he awakened two domains.
[Emperor’s Might]
[Effect: All attributes of the Beast Tamer are increased by 300%]
[Note: Comes with Emperor’s Intimidation, having a deterrent effect on all kinds of creatures (this bonus only applies to the Beast Tamer himself)]
This discovery completely overturned Aster’s understanding of domains.
If talent is the weapon to strengthen tamed beasts, then domains are the key for Beast Tamers to surpass their own limits.
Ordinary Commander Level Beast Tamers’ domains at most give them the opportunity to use special abilities, with minimal attribute boosts.
But "Emperor’s Might" allows his basic attributes to triple, directly rivaling the attributes of Myth Level beasts!
Except for not possessing any skills, he can now almost match the combat power of Myth Level beasts!
More importantly...
His second, even stronger domain!
Upon seeing the effect of the second domain, Aster couldn’t help but swallow:
[Absolute Forbidden Domain]
[Effect: Using this domain will prohibit any creature within a kilometer from using domains]
[Note: Whether Commander Level or Monarch Level, once Absolute Forbidden Domain is used, no domain can be used]
This domain, evolved from the Soul-devouring talent, perfectly inherited its straightforward and brutal characteristics.
It directly prohibits the use of domains.
And most importantly, this effect makes no distinction between Monarch Level and Commander Level!
This means that...
Even if Monarch Level entities enter this domain’s range, that Monarch Level and his tamed beasts can only compete in raw attributes and combat experience!
As for those attributes...
Aster unconsciously glanced at his Soul-devouring talent.
[Soul-devouring: Unconditionally increases tamed beast’s attributes by 200%]
[Special Effect: Sacrifice (by sacrificing a contracted tamed beast, the increase effect doubles to 400%)]
With the blessing of this extraordinary talent, Aster was confident in his superior position in pure attribute duels!
Thinking of this, a sharp light flickered in Aster’s eyes.
Considering the incredible enhancements from his other tamed beasts...
Take Lazuli’s "Doomsday Angel" form for example!
Under the powerful backup of the 200% increase from the Soul-devouring talent, her attributes are already approaching the high-tier Commander standard.
Once she truly breaks through to the Commander Level, this enhancement will be even more frightening!
Aster could already foresee the despairing expressions of Commander Level Demons when his Myth Level tamed beasts unleash their full power.
"Master..."
A soft call brought Aster’s thoughts back to reality.
He saw that Scarlett and Vera had completed their breakthroughs, quietly standing in front of him.
Vera exuded a suffocating pressure, especially the vast spiritual fluctuations, making Aster involuntarily tense.
Evidently, this Nature Elf’s spiritual attributes had completely surpassed his own!
Aster immediately brought up Vera’s attribute panel:
[Nature Elf (Vera)]
[Talent: Myth Two Stars]
[Level: Commander Tier One]
[Power: 1510→4510]
[Constitution: 1520→4520]
[Spiritual: 4000→9000]
[Speed: 1500→4500]
[Skills: Natural Lament, Elf Monarchy, Natural Domain]
Seeing Vera’s attribute panel, Aster’s expression froze instantly—
Aside from the spiritual attribute, the other three were actually inferior to his own?!
Something’s off!
Very off!
However, Vera’s spiritual attribute was astoundingly high!
It directly increased by 5000 points, reaching a height of 9000!
Far surpassing the normal Commander Level!
As for Scarlett...
[Ghost Race (Scarlett)]
[State: Twin Contract]
[Talent: Myth One Star]
[Level: Commander Tier One]
[Power: 1000→3000]
[Constitution: 1000→3000]
[Spiritual: 1000→3000]
[Speed: 1000→3000]
[Skills: The Void, Void Domain]
Although each attribute increased by 2000 points, Scarlett’s actual battle strength...
Is really hard to express.
But when Aster saw her newly awakened "Void Domain", he still nodded in appreciation.
After all, Scarlett was never a combat-type Tamed Beast, and successfully awakening a domain was already a pleasant surprise.
"Next..."
Aster turned his gaze toward Veridia and Lazuli, still absorbed in energy.
Once they complete their breakthroughs, they can leave the Sacred Beastbond Pool.
