Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Divine Pattern Awakening!
"Boom——!"
The Ultimate Fire erupted again!
With a slight twist of her wrist, Veridia transformed the dense Netherghast Aura into a barrier, completely blocking the sweeping Ultimate Fire.
Yet her gaze grew increasingly solemn—
This overwhelming pressure...
The aura emitted by the Angel Race girl in front of her faintly surpassed her own!
"Buzz——"
As the final Fire Pattern fully illuminated, the raging flames suddenly reversed, drawn into Lazuli’s body like rivers converging into the sea.
When the firelight dissipated, that familiar figure finally appeared before Aster Grant.
"Master..."
Lazuli nervously twisted her fingers, her wings adorned with eight Fire Patterns unconsciously quivering gently.
She instinctively wanted to rush into her master’s embrace but stopped with flushed cheeks, sensing the surrounding stares.
So many people watching...
Aster Grant gazed at the rejuvenated girl before him, momentarily lost in thought.
The flowing crimson-gold glow of her wing patterns added a touch of divinity and nobility to her.
Even her originally vibrant golden pupils now flickered with a subtle flame—
This indicated that Lazuli was now more adept at controlling the Ultimate Fire!
"Ugh..."
Seeing her master silent for so long, Lazuli anxiously retracted her wings, the patterns flickering erratically with her movements:
"I can’t control these patterns..."
Her voice grew quieter, carrying an anxious tremble.
Her wings had always been pure white, but now they bore several flame patterns.
A girl’s thoughts are always sensitive.
She was afraid her master would resent her for such changes!
However, Aster Grant’s reaction was contrary to her expectations.
Aster Grant subtly shook his head and slowly spoke:
"You don’t have to control them, these Fire Patterns... suit you quite well!"
"R-Really?"
Lazuli’s eyes instantly lit up, her wings fully spread with a "whoosh."
Aster Grant nodded in affirmation, yet discreetly summoned her attributes panel.
[Divine Angel (Lazuli)]
[Talent: Myth Five Stars]
[Level: Commander Tier One]
[Power: 4000→9000]
[Constitution: 4000→9000]
[Spiritual: 4000→9000]
[Speed: 4000→9000]
[Skills: Blazing Angel Form, Doomsday Angel Form, Blazing Burn, Celestial Fire Domain]
[Special State: Oath Guardian]
[Oath Guardian: Using vows as shields, the Power of Guardian strengthens with faith! When guarding cherished items, attributes will increase with resolve!]
[Blazing Burn: When Lazuli unfurls her Blazing Flame Wings, the battlefield transforms into an indestructible Fire Domain, the Ultimate Fire enveloping her as battle armor!]
When Lazuli’s attribute panel was fully opened, Aster Grant’s heart skipped a beat.
All attributes... 9000?!
These terrifying stats exceeded even Veridia, making his breath catch.
What was even more astonishing was if combined with his Soul-devouring Talent...
Commander Tier One, yet the combat power approached Tier Nine!
Especially with the Second Domain unfolded, the greatest advantage of Commander Level domain suppression would completely fail.
Additionally, perhaps it was due to the fusion with the Divine Pattern.
Lazuli surprisingly possessed a special state as well.
Oath Guardian!
Cherished item?
Aster Grant instinctively turned his head, meeting Lazuli’s eyes ablaze with crimson-gold fire.
The girl’s gaze was so ardent and resolute that even his spiritual sea trembled...
Wait...
An absurd thought suddenly crossed his mind:
Cherished item...
Could it possibly mean... me?
But before he could ask, the Divine Pattern hovering above the Sanctum Pool suddenly exploded with radiant golden light!
The brilliant light penetrated the Sanctum Pool’s barrier, instantly illuminating the entire Azurea sky.
The Divine Pattern trembled like a living entity, abruptly transforming into a stream of light that shot into Aster Grant’s forehead—
"Buzz!"
The Divine Pattern imprinted a golden pattern on his forehead.
Aster Grant attempted to drive it away with spiritual power but realized it had no effect at all!
This is troublesome...
Beneath the Divine Pattern’s conspicuous mark, Aster Grant wouldn’t become anything but a living target for the Demon Clan, although...
It’s not entirely a bad thing!
This thing would equally draw the Demon Clan to attack him.
Just when he rose to Commander Level, wanting to rely on the defeating of the Demon Clan to increase his level...
Extraordinary Level demons couldn’t provide him with energy at all!
As for Commander Level demons, their energy wasn’t low, but they were rarely encountered.
Thus, many Beast Tamers remain stuck at Commander Tier One for a long time.
Of course, there’s another special method to increase levels, which is absorbing the Sanctum Pool energy.
But now...
Aster Grant’s gaze fell upon the empty Sacred Beastbond Pool.
This wasn’t the work of his beasts.
On the contrary, it’s the result of his forehead’s Divine Pattern absorbing.
However, it was precisely absorption of the Sanctum Pool’s energy that made Aster Grant feel the Divine Pattern had truly come to life.
But the function of this Divine Pattern...
Aster Grant attempted to touch the Divine Pattern on his forehead with his spiritual power.
"Buzz——!"
In an instant, his consciousness seemed to resonate with the entire Azurea!
The mountains, rivers, cities, and wilderness within Draconia’s borders, even down to every breeze, were vividly perceptible.
Is this the power of the Divine Pattern?
Suddenly, a startling guess emerged in his mind.
The three Divine Patterns correspond to three great forces, and each Divine Pattern requires Sanctum Pool energy to awaken...
Does this not perfectly align with the three existing Sanctum Pools of Azurea?
Aster Grant felt he had grasped a corner of the truth!
However, the next second, his brow furrowed.
Within his sea of consciousness, five distorted spatial nodes suddenly surfaced, each exuding a nauseating dark aura.
What is this?
Aster Grant carefully sensed them, discovering these five points correspond precisely to the five Void Gates within Draconia’s borders.
Could it be... something happened?
Realizing this, Aster Grant couldn’t sit still any longer!
Without much hesitation, he immediately decided to return to Azurea!
When Aster Grant passed through the space channel and returned to Azurea, Sally had long been waiting.
Before she could speak, Aster Grant felt a strong discomfort emanating from the Divine Pattern on his forehead.
This is...
His brows knitted, discovering the Divine Pattern was emitting abnormal fluctuations.
At this moment, Sally’s urgent voice reached him:
"Master Aster Grant! While you entered the Sanctum Pool, the Demon Clan has opened the Alternate Space Channel!"
Her speech was rapid as she reported the emergency situation, with each word sinking Aster Grant’s heart a little more.
Looking up, he finally understood where the discomfort came from!
It was precisely from these invading channels of the Demon Clan!
Not good!
Aster Grant immediately withdrew Sally into the Beastbond Space.
Through the Divine Pattern’s perception, he clearly sensed Orion Winslow and the others had fallen into a dire situation in the high-altitude battlefield.
"Go!"
Without the slightest hesitation, he leaped towards the battlefield.
At the same moment, four dazzling lights flashed around him—
Lazuli, Veridia, Scarlett, and Vera appeared simultaneously!
In just the sensations earlier, he detected numerous Commander Level demons.
And countless Extraordinary Level demons!
This information caused his heart to sink...
With Azurea’s current defensive capabilities...
It’s completely impossible to withstand such a group of demons!
Moreover, he sensed four other battlefields, each in similarly dire conditions.
