Chapter 291: Monarchs All
The first to complete the breakthrough was Veridia.
Dense Netherghast Aura surged from her body, spreading swiftly like an ink-black tide, enveloping the entire cave in darkness.
The mist churned and flowed, spontaneously condensing in mid-air into a massive Ghost King phantom—
With a single horn on its head, its silhouette remarkably resembled Veridia’s true form.
As the phantom gradually solidified, Veridia’s aura also escalated, and her attribute values began an explosive growth:
[Ghost Race (Veridia)]
[Level: Commander Tier Nine → Monarch Tier One]
[Talent: Myth Nine Stars]
[Power: 90000 → 150000]
[Constitution: 70000 → 130000]
[Spiritual: 60000 → 100000]
[Speed: 70000 → 130000]
[Skills: Ghost King Form, Ghost Race Four Techniques, Ghost King Domain, Law of Power]
Watching Veridia’s attributes rise, Aster Grant nodded slightly.
At Monarch Tier Five, Lilith’s attributes were around 200000 points in total.
But Veridia, at just Monarch Tier One.
Her Power attribute had already reached 150000 points.
If Veridia’s level reached Monarch Tier Five, the Power attribute would surely leave Lilith far behind.
He also noticed that after advancing to Monarch Level, the Beastbond’s attributes began to significantly differentiate, no longer developing in a balanced way like at lower levels.
However, this was not necessarily a bad thing.
For Veridia...
Power was her most crucial attribute, with others being mere embellishments.
Aster Grant shifted his gaze from Veridia to Vera.
He saw her surrounded by a glimmering green light, as if a gentle but irresistible force was pushing and separating the Netherghast Aura that had surrounded them.
The air at the peak of the snow mountain trembled slightly, as Life Energy permeating the snow and wind began to gather towards her like a tide.
As a Life Spirit, when Vera broke through, she would unconsciously draw on all the Power of Life around her.
In that moment, she seemed to become an invisible vortex—
The icefield moss and snow edelweiss stubbornly growing in the snow, and even the roots deeply buried beneath the permafrost, withered and decayed at a pace visible to the naked eye.
Their Life Energy turned into strands of light, flowing toward Vera’s location.
Moreover, even some small insects hidden in cracks of snow-covered rocks silently lost their vitality, with their meager Life Force being mercilessly extracted as well.
After experiencing a cycle of Reincarnation, Vera’s mastery of the Law of Life was no longer limited to plants.
Any life form with Life Force lower than hers could become an object of her unconscious plunder.
As the Life Energy at the peak of the snow mountain continued to pour in, the green light around Vera flourished, and her aura finally peaked.
In the next moment, her attributes began to grow rapidly, officially stepping into a new realm.
[Life Spirit (Vera)]
[Talent: Myth Nine Stars]
[Level: Commander Tier Nine → Monarch Tier One]
[Status: Normal]
[Power: 65000 → 100000]
[Constitution: 65000 → 100000]
[Spiritual: 90000 → 160000]
[Speed: 65000 → 100000]
[Skills: Life Spirit Form (including Natural Lament, Elf Monarchy, Lifebloom, etc.), Reincarnation, Life Domain, Law of Life]
After breaking through to Monarch Level, Vera’s spiritual power increase was particularly astonishing—
Soaring directly from ninety thousand to one hundred sixty thousand, far surpassing Veridia’s growth.
But this did not mean her combat ability was necessarily stronger than Veridia’s.
Both possessed the top-notch talent of Myth Nine Stars, and both had mastered the Power of Origin Laws, making their real combat power hard to simply compare directly.
More importantly, their developmental directions were entirely different:
Veridia pursued extreme instantaneous explosions.
With the dual support of the "Ghost Race Four Techniques" and "Law of Power," she could unleash world-shattering power in an instant, like a thunderclap, crushing powerful enemies.
Vera, however, followed another path.
By absolute control over the Power of Life, she could continuously draw energy from all living things in her environment and convert it for her use.
Theoretically, given enough time to gather strength, she could even manipulate a life torrent far beyond her realm to overwhelm opponents.
As Veridia and Vera successively completed their breakthroughs, their auras gradually stabilized, and Aster Grant slowly shifted his gaze to the last one—
Lazuli!
Only after Lazuli’s previous demise and rebirth did Aster Grant truly recognize that deep-seated emotion in his heart that was impossible to ignore.
He understood that for this girl who had always stood by his side with clear eyes, what he held was far more than just the bond between master and Beastbond.
At this moment, Lazuli frowned, her surrounding aura fluctuating, continuously strengthening yet unable to break through the boundary of the Monarch Level.
A flicker of worry passed through Aster Grant’s eyes.
Veridia and Vera’s breakthroughs were smooth and unimpeded, so why was it only Lazuli...
Could it be that the last death left a hidden danger?
Just then, the Snow Maiden’s expression abruptly changed, and she retreated swiftly.
She finally sensed an anomaly.
Initially, she was still shocked by the overwhelming momentum of Veridia and Vera’s breakthroughs—
These two Beastbonds were clearly only Monarch Tier One, yet the commotion of their breakthroughs was comparable to a Half-step Totem!
She also finally understood why Lilith insisted she exhaust her spiritual power to heal them. Their potential far exceeded her imagination.
But at that moment, even more astonishing to her was the sight of the angel before her.
An extremely scorching aura emanated from Lazuli, causing the ice that had been frozen for ten thousand years in the cave to begin melting slowly!
This was the deepest part of the Snow Domain, where the Profound Ice had remained unthawed for ages, able to withstand lava for a moment.
It was precisely by relying on this extreme coldland that the Snow Maiden elevated her strength to Totem Tier Two over a century.
Yet now, this eternal ice was dissolving in the unconscious heat of this angel.
Aster Grant suddenly realized:
This extreme environment was precisely what was hindering Lazuli’s breakthrough.
"Scarlett!"
With a thought, Scarlett appeared in response.
Following Aster Grant’s silent command, she instantly flashed to Lazuli’s side and transported her out of the snow cave.
Outside on the icefield, the biting cold wind still howled.
Yet at the moment Lazuli exited the cave—
A vast pressure erupted violently!
The blazing Fire of Destruction surged from her body, instantly igniting her in fierce flames.
Under this extreme heat, the falling snow within a hundred-mile radius was immobilized, while the air temperature soared dramatically.
Lazuli’s aura finally peaked, with no further hindrances.
Her attributes began to grow swiftly!
