Chapter 373 - 374: Clarice’s Ascension
Aster Grant nodded, indicating he understood.
Then, his gaze fell upon Noelle Quinn.
Now that Noelle was unconscious, expecting her to summon her own Beastbond was impossible.
It seemed he had to take action.
Although every Beast Tamer’s Beastbond Space exists within their Spiritual Sea.
However...
As long as your spiritual power surpasses that of the Beast Tamer.
You can forcibly let your spiritual power invade the Beast Tamer’s body with weaker spiritual power.
Of course, this is contingent upon the Beast Tamer not resisting you.
And now...
Noelle Quinn’s status naturally made it impossible for her to resist Aster Grant.
As for whether his spiritual power was superior...
Frankly, all this time, Aster Grant.
Had never met a human with spiritual power stronger than his own.
Ever since he broke through to Monarch Level, his spiritual power had soared substantially.
Additionally, mastering the power of the Creation Law further boosted his spiritual power substantially.
This made his spiritual power alone...
Not shy even against his Myth Five Stars Talent Beastbonds.
Thus, his spiritual power being stronger than Noelle Quinn’s was already a given.
Having made up his mind, Aster Grant hesitated no more.
He closed his eyes, focused, and carefully sent out a pure stream of spiritual power, delicately extending it towards the center of Noelle Quinn’s brows, to her Spiritual Sea.
He had to be extremely cautious to avoid causing any secondary harm to the unconscious Noelle.
Under his precise control, the process proceeded unusually smoothly.
Soon, he perceived the entrance to Noelle Quinn’s Beastbond Space and successfully established a temporary connection with it.
"Buzz——"
With a pure and melodious sound, like the song of a dragon, a brilliant stream of light burst forth from Noelle Quinn’s body!
In the next moment, a longsword, as crystalline as if carved from ice, floated in midair—
It was indeed Noelle Quinn’s life-bound Beastbond, The Blade of Clarice.
The moment The Blade of Clarice appeared, it emitted a rapid hum.
It seemed to sense its owner’s perilous state, anxiously flying and circling around Noelle Quinn, its sword light flickering, revealing deep concern.
Seeing this, Aster Grant spoke in a deep voice:
"Clarice, calm down. To save your master, a method is needed now, but this method requires you to pay a certain price."
His gaze was somewhat serious, staring intently at The Blade of Clarice.
Of course, this was something he made up.
His purpose was to test The Blade of Clarice.
He needed to confirm whether this sword was worthy of his full assistance, and whether it held absolute loyalty to Noelle Quinn.
If it was an ungrateful wolf, he certainly would not go to great lengths to help it improve its talent.
He could switch to one of Noelle Quinn’s other Beastbonds!
The Blade of Clarice’s trajectory paused abruptly upon hearing this.
It hovered before Aster Grant, its blade trembling slightly, as if digesting the meaning of his words.
Moments later, it responded—
The sword hilt slowly nodded downwards, much like a human nodding, with a firm and unwavering action.
Not all Beastbonds are humanoid like Aster Grant’s.
For The Blade of Clarice, this was the only way to express its agreement.
Aster Grant was secretly pleased with The Blade of Clarice’s response.
Upon appearing, this Beastbond was deeply concerned about Noelle Quinn’s situation.
Moreover, even when required to make a sacrifice itself, it was still willing to do so for Noelle Quinn.
Thus, Aster Grant nodded and began to examine The Blade of Clarice’s information.
[The Blade of Clarice]
[Talent: Half-Step Myth]
[Level: Monarch Peak]
[Power: 280,000]
[Constitution: 250,000]
[Spiritual: 150,000]
[Speed: 270,000]
[Skills: Sword Momentum....]
[Cultivation Suggestion: Star Stone, Snow Essence, Sword Bone (any material is fine, but the harder the material, the higher the success rate of enhancement)]
Upon seeing Clarice’s attributes,
Aster Grant realized how exceptional his Beastbonds’ attributes were.
The Monarch Peak Clarice’s attributes didn’t even exceed 300,000.
Yet, the Tier Two Lazuli and Vera?
Their attributes were nearly twice that of The Blade of Clarice!
Even the comparatively weaker Elara and other Beastbonds, their attributes weren’t significantly inferior to The Blade of Clarice.
Then, Aster Grant’s gaze fell on The Blade of Clarice’s cultivation suggestion section.
To enhance her talent, the most critical aspect was the materials.
If he lacked the materials, there was nothing he could do.
However, upon seeing the three materials needed for The Blade of Clarice, Aster Grant felt a sense of relief.
He had the Star Stone!
Whenever he returned to the Human Race, he’d subconsciously collect some divine-level materials from among the humans.
Coincidentally, during his last trip, he had obtained this material.
But, as for the other material, Snow Essence, he indeed did not have it.
However.....
Such material should be found within the Snow Domain.
Aster Grant turned his gaze to the Snow Maiden.
"I currently lack a material, Snow Essence, Snow Maiden, have you heard of it?"
Upon hearing of Snow Essence, the Snow Maiden flipped her hand.
In the next moment.
This material appeared in her palm.
Without saying much, she handed the material over to Aster Grant.
She was immensely curious whether Aster Grant, as Lilith had said, truly had the capability to enhance the talent of a Beastbond.
If Aster Grant could elevate the sword’s talent to Myth Level today, it would mean he also had the means to further enhance her talent.
Receiving the material handed over by the Snow Maiden, Aster Grant breathed a sigh of relief.
The materials were complete!
The Sword Bone, he already had an idea.
Previously in the Snow Domain, he had slain a Bone Dragon that was nearly Totem Tier Three.
It left behind an extremely hard piece of bone.
Using this as the Sword Bone would surely satisfy The Blade of Clarice’s upgrade requirements.
Then, Aster Grant started mixing the three materials.
The Blade of Clarice was exceedingly tense, unsure of the cost Aster Grant mentioned.
How great would this cost be?
Yet even if it meant her own demise, she was determined to save her master!
Soon, under Aster Grant’s full concentration, the Star Stone’s starlight, the Extreme Cold Energy of Snow Essence, and the Bone Dragon Main Keel, began to slowly merge.
Eventually transforming into a three-colored, luminous, extraordinarily pure and gentle liquid substance.
"Now!"
Aster Grant exclaimed, guiding the merged essence energy to slowly infuse into the floating sword body of The Blade of Clarice before him.
"Buzz——!"
At the instant the essence energy touched the sword body, The Blade of Clarice suddenly erupted in dazzling and brilliant golden light!
An indescribably piercing chill spread from its center, causing the temperature within the Ice Cave to plummet, and the ice crystals on the cave walls thickened by several inches instantly!
Immediately after, a cringe-inducing "crackling" sound echoed.
The once-crystalline sword body of The Blade of Clarice began to fracture into countless fine lines, like porcelain about to shatter.
Yet, this was not a precursor to destruction, but the beginning of rebirth!
The old sword body was disintegrating under the energy impact, with a more powerful new sword body rapidly restructuring and gestating beneath the cracks!
The Snow Maiden, who had been observing with rapt attention, was filled with awe at this incredible scene, her ice-blue eyes wide open with shock.
She sensed a fundamental, upward leap was occurring in the essence of The Blade of Clarice!
Lilith’s words were true; Aster Grant indeed possessed such an extraordinary, destiny-altering ability!
She suppressed her inner shock, knowing it was a critical moment.
Immediately, the Snow Maiden activated her own Origin Healing Law, her hands releasing fragments containing Life Aura, enveloping Noelle Quinn completely.
