Chapter 310 - 311: Farewell, Lazuli!
"And the first place in this competition..."
Laney continued, "will have the right to challenge the three inheritors—"
"This seems to be the only way to reach them."
Competition?!
Aster Grant was stunned upon hearing this, and his gaze involuntarily fell on Laney beside him.
Currently, the only temporary Beastbond he holds is her alone.
Although he could forcibly enhance Laney’s strength using "Sovereign" and "Soul-devouring" dual talents, yet...
Her talent remains a significant barrier that’s hard to overcome.
[Angel (Laney)]
[Status: Four-winged Angel]
[Level: Commander Tier One]
[Talent: Epic Nine Stars]
[Power: 7000]
[Constitution: 6000]
[Spiritual: 5000]
[Speed: 6000]
[Skills: Holy Sword, Guardian, Angel Domain]
Looking at Laney’s attributes, Aster Grant’s mouth kept twitching.
Previously, Laney’s attributes were even lower.
It was after he enhanced her once that Laney reached Epic Nine Stars talent.
Moreover, her level also broke through to Commander Tier One as a result.
However...
Even so, Laney’s attributes are merely a few thousand points now.
Even if he used "Sovereign" and "Soul-devouring" talents again to forcibly elevate her strength,
with her current control, she can hardly manage such a sudden surge in power.
Additionally, comparing Laney’s skills...
with magical creatures like Lazuli and Vera, it’s honestly quite lacking.
Thus, even if Laney’s attributes are elevated to half-step Totem Level, but....
The actual combat strength she can unleash is still hard to estimate...
Perhaps even maintaining it at King Level is extremely challenging.
According to Laney, those participating in this Angel Race competition are at least Monarch Level.
If that’s the case...
To secure first place in this competition seems rather troublesome!
Feeling Aster Grant’s gaze lingering on her, Laney awkwardly turned around and whispered:
"Aster... Aster Grant, why are you staring at me?"
"Laney," Aster Grant said seriously, "We must participate in this competition, but I’m thinking— how to attain first place."
"You can compete yourself!" Laney hastily said, "With your strength, there’s definitely no problem!"
Along the way, she’s already witnessed Aster Grant in action— even a Monarch Level Demon Clan wouldn’t last a few moves against him.
Yet Aster Grant slowly shook his head.
"I cannot compete."
"Firstly, I am a Beast Tamer, my strongest status requires the aid of Beastbond to fully manifest;"
"Secondly, this place is packed with angels; if I act personally, it would easily expose my human identity."
"So..."
His gaze returned to Laney.
Laney’s body stiffened instantly, her voice trembling slightly:
"Aster, Aster Grant... you wouldn’t be thinking..."
"Laney, my only Beastbond right now is you."
Aster Grant’s tone was calm but incontrovertible, "You are the only one who can compete in this contest."
"No! No way!"
Laney repeatedly waved her hands, almost leaping, "Aster Grant, it’s really not possible! I’m just Commander Level, I don’t even qualify to compete..."
However—
Aster Grant gave her no chance to refuse.
The competition begins in two days; they must race against time to elevate Laney’s combat strength—
Both in level and talent, breakthrough must happen swiftly to have any chance at winning first place in this competition filled with strong competitors.
Without hesitation, he pulled Laney and rushed towards Holy City.
On the way, he went to a marketplace within the city, sold several rare items from the Beastbond Space, exchanging them for a large sum of local currency.
Under the monetary onslaught, the merchant was overjoyed, repeatedly assuring he would gather all needed materials for him.
Meanwhile, Aster Grant had already brought Laney to a site outside Holy City where Demonic Qi lingered.
Though the area around Holy City belongs to the core domain of the Angel Race, this world has long been corroded by Demonic Qi, forming numerous Demonic Qi points randomly.
And where Demonic Qi gathers, Demon Clan thrives—
And with Demons, Laney’s strength can enhance!
...
Two days passed in a blink, and the day for the Angel Race competition finally arrived.
The entire Holy City was enveloped in a solemn and fervent atmosphere, countless angels gathered in the city center,
gazing up at the towering Twelve-Winged Angel statue—
That is the God of Angels, the only being in history to reach the Twelve Wings realm.
Under the statue, all angels slightly bowed, paying deep and sincere respect.
Hidden within the crowd, Aster Grant and Laney clad in black robes followed suit, blending quietly among the masses.
Laney felt somewhat disoriented.
Her perception had been completely turned over in these two days—
She never imagined such rapid ascension in strength.
At this moment, six pure wings stretched out behind her, shimmering with a gentle glow.
The angels around her looked at her with undisguised respect.
In this world, the number of wings signifies status and power; a Six-winged Angel is already considered a leader among them.
Just as Laney was dazed, the Judge’s magnificent voice echoed across the entire Holy City:
"Today is the most significant moment for our Angel Race—"
"We have finally welcomed the third inheritor!"
"By the decree of the God of Angels, the inheritor’s trial shall commence now."
"However, before that, the three inheritors must endure the challenge from the strongest in the tribe."
"Therefore, from this moment, the Angel Race’s pinnacle competition— officially begins!"
"The first among the victors shall earn the right to challenge the three inheritors."
"If successful in the challenge, you shall become..."
"The new inheritor"
These five words ignited the entire scene like a wildfire on barren land!
In this tribe where wings are inherent and destiny is pre-determined, this competition is the sole chance for countless angels to defy fate.
Just defeat one inheritor, and fate will be completely rewritten!
At this moment, every angel with ambition had blazing flames in their eyes.
"As long as we achieve first place in this competition, we will have a chance to overturn fate."
"Though we can’t match the other two inheritors, this newly emerged Lazuli..."
"Even if she’s Monarch Tier One and has ten wings, we can definitely defeat her easily!"
"Indeed, our target this time is this newly emerged Ten-winged Angel!"
In the crowd, such voices continued to rise.
And Aster Grant slightly frowned.
Lazuli is Monarch Tier One; albeit without the aid of the Soul-devouring talent, she could exert half-step Totem Level prowess.
However...
Within this angel crowd.
There exist beings at the half-step Totem Level.
Even...
Aster Grant noticed several Totem Level entities, eager to make their move.
If these Totem Level angels plan to act......
It could spell trouble!
Right when Aster Grant was pondering......
A surprisingly familiar figure abruptly appeared in the sky.
