Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Commander Level Veridia!
Inside the Sacred Beastbond Pool.
The Divine Pattern remained suspended at the center, while Lazuli and Veridia’s absorption of Sanctum Pool Energy was nearing completion.
Aster Grant could clearly sense—
An eerie, terrifying aura brewing within the two beasts.
"Ugh..."
Vera bit her lip, a hint of emotion flashing in her emerald eyes.
Since the start of the Divine Realm, the gap between her and these two beasts had been widening.
Especially after merging with the Divine Pattern, she felt—
Compared to Lazuli and Veridia, she was lacking even more!
Now, having painstakingly reached Commander Level, her spiritual power surged again.
But...
Judging by the aura emanating from these two beasts...
Lazuli and Veridia, just in their Spiritual Attribute, were close to her level!
As for other attributes...
She couldn’t even compare with the two!
"Boom—!"
Violent momentum swept out again, and in an instant, the chilling Netherghast Aura surged like a tide, engulfing the entire Sacred Beastbond Pool.
Yet, as this cold aura approached Lazuli and the Divine Pattern, it was silently repelled by their emanating power, unable to advance.
Amidst the turbulent ghostly aura, Veridia slowly opened her eyes.
Her gaze fell directly on Aster Grant, deep gratitude swirling in her calm eyes.
Finally... she broke through.
She finally freed herself from the shackles of her bloodline, successfully stepping into Commander Level!
Long ago, while wandering with her sister, they dreamed of the best outcome—
Which was to find a Human Race Beast Tamer to contract with, using humanity’s special talent to barely break through Transcendent and enter the Commander Realm.
But now...
With the help of Aster Grant, not only did they compensate for their innate flaws and smoothly advance to Commander,
but she confirmed one thing—
Aster Grant was their childhood savior, who rescued her and Scarlett.
Now, miraculously, she and Scarlett had become the beasts of this life-saving benefactor.
It all seemed like heaven’s arrangement!
But it was also the best outcome!
As her emotions slowly calmed down, Veridia slowly lifted her arm.
"Hoo—"
In an instant, the pervasive Netherghast Aura within the pool converged back into her body like rivers returning to the sea.
Once the last wisp of ghostly aura dissipated, she gracefully leaped from the energy-drained Sacred Beastbond Pool, knelt on one knee before Aster Grant, and spoke respectfully:
"Master, mission accomplished, Veridia has reached Commander Level!"
Aster Grant quickly extended his hand to lift Veridia from her kneeling position.
"Veridia, we are companions, not master and servant!"
His voice was gentle yet firm, causing Veridia to pause slightly and instinctively raise her head, meeting Aster Grant’s earnest eyes—
There was no falseness...
Only sincerity!
After a moment of silence, she slowly lowered her head, a faint smile emerging in her eyes.
"Veridia understands, Master! I won’t do it again."
Sensing the shift in her tone, Aster Grant knew that the stubborn ghostly race girl had finally taken his words to heart.
This also meant Veridia had truly integrated into his team.
Though he caught a hint of special emotion from Veridia’s gaze...
He didn’t pay it any mind, assuming it was just his imagination.
Then, he took a deep breath, steadied his emotions, and began to check Veridia’s attributes.
As one of the strongest beasts at present, Veridia’s growth directly affects the team’s combat power.
Now, what level would Veridia reach...
A long-awaited feeling of nervousness surged in.
The next moment—
Veridia’s attribute panel slowly unfolded before him.
[Ghost Race (Veridia)]
[Level: Commander Tier One]
[Talent: Myth Five Stars]
[Power: 4000→9000]
[Constitution: 4000→8000]
[Spiritual: 4000→7000]
[Speed: 4000→8000]
[Skills: Ghost Race Four Techniques, Ghost King’s Body (Attribute Enhancement 1.5x!), Returning Ruins, Ghost King Domain]
[Ghost King’s Body: Attribute Enhancement 1.5x!]
[Ghost Race Four Techniques: Mountain Opening (Strength Attribute Enhancement 1.5x), Sea Breaker (Strength Attribute Enhancement 2x), Heaven-Breaking (Strength Attribute Enhancement 3x), Star Shattering (Insufficient Level)]
[Returning Ruins: Forms a Ghost King Shadow! And as battles proceed, the beast’s combat power gradually increases!]
[Special State: Twin Resonance (Contracted Twins in the domain, share talents mutually!)]
As Veridia’s attribute panel fully unfolded, Aster Grant’s pupils contracted abruptly, his breath caught.
This...
He instinctively swallowed, his mind left with one word—
Defying the Heavens!
Veridia’s Strength Attribute increased by 5000 points, reaching 9000 points.
The other three attributes also had over 3000-point increases!
To think, the Commander Tier Three Winged Demon encountered in the Demon Domain back then...
His attributes were only around 6000 points.
And now...
Veridia was only Commander Tier One, her attributes far exceeded that Winged Demon.
Moreover, besides attributes...
Veridia unlocked the third technique of Ghost Race Four Techniques!
Heaven-Breaking!
Triple Strength Attribute Enhancement...
It meant that, with full power and without Domain Suppression...
She could use her Ultimate Strength Attribute to crush all Commander Level opponents.
What astonished Aster Grant the most was that after reaching Commander Level,
Veridia gained an additional Special State!
Twin Resonance.
As long as Scarlett was also in the domain.
They could share their talents, meaning Veridia could utilize Scarlett’s Void talent.
Monstrous!
Too monstrous!
Veridia’s extreme eruption, paired with Scarlett’s formidable spatial manipulation ability...
Irresolvable!
This word suddenly popped into his mind.
Even the enhanced Lazuli would find it challenging to defeat Veridia and Scarlett...
Equally difficult!
However, after assessing Veridia’s attributes, Aster Grant’s gaze fell on Lazuli, who was entirely enveloped in Ultimate Fire.
He now anticipated what level Lazuli would achieve!
"Boom—!"
As if responding to Aster Grant’s anticipation, Lazuli’s surrounding energy suddenly erupted!
Ultimate Fire surged wildly on her surface like an awakened vicious beast.
The momentum climbed step by step, breaking through the critical point in an instant—
"Swish!"
On her back, eight pure white wings suddenly appeared, adorned with mysterious Fire Patterns.
Those patterns moved like living things; as each pattern lit up, the wings blazed ever fiercer!
"Rumble—"
Ferocious torrents of fire abruptly exploded!
The entire pool was instantly consumed by a sea of crimson gold flames, the pool water evaporating madly under the extreme heat, dense Spiritual Energy turning into white mist that surged skyward.
"Buzz—"
The Divine Pattern floating above suddenly trembled, like a predator scenting prey, beginning to frantically devour the scattered Spiritual Energy!
As a massive amount of Spiritual Energy infused it, the golden light on the Divine Pattern’s surface grew increasingly intense...
The Divine Pattern was about to awaken!
Aster Grant’s pupils constricted.
This Divine Pattern, after absorbing almost the entire pool’s energy, was now ready to reveal its true function!
Previously in the Divine Realm, this Divine Pattern had shown part of its power.
Now...
What function would it have once fully awakened?
He anticipated it even more!!
