Chapter 344 - 345: The Unfamiliar Vera
[Please send a new contestant from the Human Race to the stage!]
The mechanical female voice reiterated more bluntly when Aster Grant showed no intention of leaving the stage.
The Half-Step Totem-level Demon Clan member, ready to go on stage, looked at Aster Grant still lingering in the Kratosium and couldn’t help but show a hint of pride and impatience, urging sharply:
"Hey! Human, the contest rules are crystal clear! You’ve fought once, so why don’t you get off quickly?"
Although this Demon Clan member knew it wasn’t a match for Aster Grant, nonetheless....
It was confident that against anyone else from the Human Race, it could easily claim victory.
"Are you trying to openly defy the rules of the Divine Realm?"
It became more vigorous the more it spoke, raising its voice a few notches:
"Now, you don’t have that terrifying Law Sword to back you!"
"Hurry up and get down, send up your real Human Race trash to die!"
Aster Grant looked coldly at the Demon Clan member, jumping around like a clown, silently sentencing it to death in his heart.
The mechanical female voice, seeing Aster Grant still showing no intention of leaving the stage, spoke again:
[If you continue to obstruct the contest, I have the right to disqualify the Human Race!]
Only then did Aster Grant slowly raise his eyes, his tone calm:
"What’s the rush?"
"Our contestant from the Human Race..."
"Has already arrived."
The moment he finished speaking——
"Boom!!!"
A violent, vast aura, as if a vicious beast that had slept for ages, suddenly awakened, erupting fiercely from the entrance of the Divine Realm!
The aura was so strong that it caused the entire Kratosium’s space to tremble!
The gaze of all the strong individuals in the audience was instantly drawn in the direction of the entrance!
Exclamations came from all around:
"Who is it?! Wasn’t the entrance sealed by the joint effort of the three parties?"
"What a terrifying aura...this, this is definitely a Totem-level presence!"
"Aster Grant said the contestant has arrived... could it be a hidden Totem-level expert from the Human Race?"
"Impossible! The Human Race has such shallow heritage, how could a Totem-level suddenly emerge?"
Under countless puzzled and uncertain gazes, a figure slowly stepped out from the golden portal of the Sanctum.
The first thing that caught the eye was a section of fair, jade-like, perfectly contoured calf.
Then, as the hem of a skirt swayed, a figure dressed in an emerald long skirt, with a graceful posture, fully appeared.
She was surrounded by an intense, unfathomably dense aura of the Law of Life, with her long green hair moving without wind....
Yet those eyes, which should have been full of vitality, were now coldly indifferent, like a deity overlooking all life.
It was Vera!
Her gaze swept coldly across the audience, carrying a sense of aloof scrutiny like looking at ants.
However, when her gaze scanned the center of the Kratosium, it abruptly locked onto that soul-binding figure!
"Master... Master!"
The coldness and indifference melted away like ice, replaced by deep grievance!
Her figure vanished as if teleporting, appearing right in front of Aster Grant in the next moment.
Her beautiful eyes locked onto him, her eyes slightly red.
During this period.
In the days of being apart from Aster Grant, she felt like an abandoned puppy.
Unable to find a direction forward, unable to find the meaning of life.
For this reason....
She could only choose to fully enhance her strength.
Just hoping that by the next meeting, her strength would be enough to protect Aster Grant.
But....
At this moment, Aster Grant looked at Vera’s status and slightly frowned.
He knew his Beastbond too well.
Especially Lazuli and Vera, who had followed him from the very beginning.
He knew them extremely well.
The current her, although her appearance remained the same, in the depths of those eyes...
There was a foreign coldness and obsession.
Especially when her eyes fleetingly revealed indifference and hostility towards Lazuli, something that should never have appeared in the former Vera!
Something was wrong!
Thinking of this, Aster Grant started viewing Vera’s information.
[Life Spirit (Vera)]
[Talent: Myth Nine Stars]
[Level: Monarch Tier One]
[Power: 650,000]
[Constitution: 650,000]
[Spiritual: 710,000]
[Speed: 650,000]
[Skills: Life Spirit Form (including Natural Lament, Elf Monarchy, Lifebloom, etc.), Reincarnation, Life Domain, Law of Life]
[Status: Insect Emperor’s Will Erosion!]
Seeing the attributes of Vera, Aster Grant’s pupils widened dramatically.
Vera’s Spiritual Attribute had actually reached 710,000.
This was an incredibly terrifying number.
You must know, even though Lazuli’s talent had now reached the Origin Level beyond words.
However....
Lazuli’s attributes had only barely reached 500,000.
But Vera?
She had even left Lazuli behind in Power, Constitution, and Speed Attributes.
Aster Grant swallowed hard.
Although Vera’s Reincarnation Skill was unique, he did not expect it to be this formidable.
But then he thought, Vera’s improvements seemed quite reasonable.
After all, what Vera absorbed was the power of the topmost existences of The Swarm.
Such existences surely stood above the Totem.
Though Vera only absorbed a small portion of its energy, however.....
Improving so much through the Reincarnation Skill didn’t seem surprising.
But...
The downside of such an improvement was also very apparent.
Aster Grant’s gaze fell on Vera’s status bar.
Under Insect Emperor’s Will Erosion!
Now Aster Grant understood why Vera had changed so much.
Aster Grant sneakily turned to exchange glances with Lazuli.
The young girl also noticed Vera’s abnormality.
She was currently asking Aster Grant about Vera’s situation with her eyes.
Aster Grant gave Lazuli a look, signaling her to be at ease.
After all, Vera still hadn’t changed a bit towards him.
And just at this moment.
Vera seemed to notice the small actions between Aster Grant and Lazuli.
In an instant, she pounced into Aster Grant’s arms.
Her eyes fiercely glared at Lazuli.
"My strength is the strongest, the Master should be mine."
Upon these words, Lazuli almost went berserk on the spot, her fists clenching tightly, the Destruction Law stirring around her.
This little Sweetvenom Sprite.
Does she not need to be disciplined?
Whoever is the strongest, the Master belongs to them?
If that were the case, she would have claimed the Master long ago.
Lazuli’s hand clamped down tightly, taking a while to suppress her anger.
Now, this Sweetvenom Sprite was not in a right state, she couldn’t hold a grudge against her.
Reassuring herself repeatedly, Lazuli finally suppressed her impulse to take action.
When Vera saw Lazuli conceding, she immediately revealed a disdainful look.
And Aster Grant, witnessing this scene, also felt a bit troubled.
However, Vera is his Beastbond!
He couldn’t possibly ignore her.
However, how to resolve this will erosion?
He hadn’t thought of a solution yet.
And just then, the mechanical female voice prompted once more:
[Human Race contestant, please take the stage immediately! Countdown three seconds, failure to appear will result in immediate disqualification of the Human Race!]
[Three!]
[Two!]
[One...]
