Chapter 269 - The Mythical Battle Beast

Chapter 269: The Mythical Battle Beast

“Thank you for your hospitality. Goodbye!”

After eating the porridge, Locke summoned his Divine Dragon. After settling Hathaway down, he turned around and waved goodbye to Angela. Then, he soared into the sky.

Although the Divine Light Dragon had tried its best to restrain its power, the strong wind it created almost turned over Angela’s horse.

The guards who were close to the ground were blown away.

They were covered in dust and were in a sorry state.

“It’s the Divine Light Dragon! How can this be!?”

Angela looked at Locke, who was flying away, with a surprised expression.

Even as the Holy Maiden of the Illumination Society, her Battle Beast was merely a Light Spirit.

Although elemental spirits were rare Battle Beasts, compared to dragons, they were like a dime in a dozen.

Moreover, the dragon that Locke possessed was a Divine Light Dragon.

Even in Dragon City, Divine Light Dragons were an extremely rare existence.

Upon reaching adulthood, dragons were capable of reaching Stage 7 without any training.

Those with outstanding talent could even break through to Stage 8 and enter the Legendary Realm.

The Divine Light Dragon that she had just seen was obviously a young dragon that was still growing. Its potential in the future was simply unimaginable.

‘Oh no!’

‘Morgan Morris!’

Angela suddenly thought of someone, and her face turned pale with fright.

Morgan Morris was the only son of the old city lord of Cloud City. He was arrogant, domineering, greedy, and lustful. He was one of the tyrants of Cloud City.

Moreover, since the city lord had contributed a lot to the Illumination Society, he held a high position and possessed great power.

The city lord, who had only given birth to a son in his old age, doted on Morgan way too much. Even if he did something overboard, he would turn a blind eye to his actions.

Everyone in Cloud City was aware of Morgan’s bad reputation.

Morgan was 18 years old and was about to become an adult, but he had never found a suitable Battle Beast.

Back when he was three years old, the bishop had personally chosen a Light Spirit for him, just like the one that Angela possessed.

Unfortunately, Morgan did not understand the teachings of the Illumination Society, and he did not treasure his Battle Beasts.

He constantly arranged for his Light Spirit to challenge other Beastmaster’s.

Letting a non-combat-type Battle Beast duel with others was no different from murder.

Until now, Morgan had already changed through three Battle Beasts.

The one that had lived the longest had died tragically after following him for three years.

Now, he was about to reach adulthood.

Once he reached adulthood, he could no longer contract Battle Beasts.

Should Morgan see Locke’s Divine Light Dragon, he would definitely have evil thoughts.

Dragon Battle Beasts were extremely rare, and Locke’s was even a light-type. It was his ideal battle Beast.

It was not hard to imagine what Morgan would do if he were to find out about the Divine Light Dragon.

Not to mention the beautiful Hathaway.

If Morgan were to stay still and not do anything, he would never have gained the title of Little Overlord of Cloud City in the first place.

“Hurry up! Hurry up and pack up! Don’t dawdle. Let’s return to Cloud City as soon as possible.”

Angela threw down her bowl and chopsticks. Without even eating her breakfast, she called for everyone to hurry up.

“Miss, based on the plan, we still need to make a trip to the Mountain City. We can only return to Cloud City after visiting Mountain City.”

“Moreover, we are being chased by the Dark Society and have suffered heavy casualties. We can restock in Mountain City and recruit more guards there as well. That would be the safest option.”

The captain of the guards hurriedly explained.

After fleeing for three days and three nights, they were finally at the edge of Mountain City. As such, Angela’s orders to return to Cloud City would simply be too unfair for those who had sacrificed themselves.

If he were to follow Angela’s wishes to return to Cloud City, the hardship they had been through would be in vain.

“I’m not going to Mountain City. Turn around immediately and return to Cloud City.”

Angela could not be bothered to waste her breath on him. After making the decision, she lifted the curtain of the carriage and went back in.

They did not know that the Mountain City had just experienced a bloody massacre. Even the city Lord had perished.

The reason the Dark Society had gone after them was to prevent them from going to Mountain City.

After all, the mysterious old man that Locke encountered had a very high position in the Dark Society. His plan must no be known by the Illumination Society, otherwise, it would be ruined.

Moreover, after seeing Locke’s Divine Light Dragon, all of Angela’s thoughts were all jumbled up, and she had forgotten that Locke possessed yet another Battle Beast.

While Locke was travelling on the Divine Dragon, he checked his Hydra’s stats.

[ Name: Swamp Hydra ]

[ Attributes: Space, Poison, Fire, Water, Wind, ? ]

[ Quality: Grade 7, High[1] ]

[ Level: Stage 4, Level 3 ]

[ Talent: Chaotic Strike, Splash ]

[ Skills: Spatial Movement, Spatial Slash, Venomous Fangs, Combo, unlimited combo, Flaming Tempest Wings, ? ]

“The power of the blood sacrifice is indeed powerful.”

“I was right in sacrificing the Fire and Wind Elementals.”

“Using the men in black and the elementals as sacrifices had caused the Twin-headed Snake to evolve.”

“Once the Hydra has completely fused with the power obtained from the blood sacrifice, it will also gain more attributes and skills. Once that happens, its quality should a little more.”

“Its quality is above Grade 7, it’s already close to the Legendary Realm.”

“Since the Hydra possesses 9 heads, does that mean that it wields 9 different types of power?”

“It’s still young, and it already possesses such great power. Once it grows up, I’m sure it’ll give dragons a run for their money.”

“If it continues to evolve according to the hidden route and reaches the ultimate form of Medusa, wouldn’t it be close to the Mythical Realm?”

“The goddess Medusa, huh?”

Locke commented.

The Swamp Hydra felt Locke’s emotions and a wave of pride arose within it.

Even though it was Locke’s first Battle Beast, it had not been in the spotlight for quite some time.

However, it had finally evolved into an existence that was no less powerful than the Divine Light Dragon. It no longer needed to hide behind its master’s back to attack. Instead, it could fight in the frontlines at long last.

If only Locke had hardened his heart earlier and allowed his Twin-headed Snake to evolve.

He might have been able to stop Hathaway’s tragedy.

The Divine Light Dragon spread its wings and flew hard. Sensing the change in Locke’s state of mind, it could not help but open its mouth and let out a loud dragon roar.

The Divine Light Dragon was happy when the Twin-headed Snake evolved into a Swamp Hydra.

After all, they had grown up together.

However, the departure of the Wind and Fire Elementals had also made Divine Light Dragon sad.

All sorts of complicated emotions were contained in this roar.

Cloud City was hundreds of kilometers away from Mountain City.

Even if the Holy Light Dragon flew at full speed, it would take an entire day.

During this time, Hathaway woke up a few times and saw Locke anxiously flying the Divine Light Dragon. A trace of sweetness flashed through her heart.

In the end, she still held a bit of weight in this man’s heart.

Locke was too outstanding.

She felt that she was undeserving of his attention.

Hathaway was once the city Lord and a Stage 3 Beastmaster. Although her talent was not as good as Locke’s, she was still a rare genius.

Back at home, no matter where she went, she would always be the most beautiful girl, the brightest star in the crowd.

Unfortunately, she had the ill fortune of meeting Locke.

It was really a lifelong mistake to have encountered him.
