Chapter 668 - 670: 664: Dragon of the End
As Daphne’s blood dripped onto the crimson gate, which even the ancestors of the Louise family could not shake or open by any means, the gate trembled for the first time.
This anomaly caused Rosalind Louise and her companion to stand up excitedly, their gaze fixed on the mysterious, flickering patterns on the gate’s surface.
“Boom!”
It might have been a minute, or it might have been an hour, but during Rosalind’s agonizing wait, the Rune Circle’s light faded and the tightly closed gate slowly moved, revealing a world of flame densely covered with molten lava inside.
“Drip drip, the temperature inside the relic is 1,325 degrees Celsius, with abundant Fire Type Arcane Force and scarce oxygen. According to the life detection device, there are no signs of any life activities inside. It is recommended to enter with high-temperature protective gear.”
After listening to the mechanical voice prompt, Rosalind and Gregory Louise exchanged glances, both seeing the hidden surprise and excitement in each other’s eyes.
It was known that residing within the ruins was an Ultimate Emperor Fire Type Beast that could incinerate nature and life and suppress calamities.
In the Middle Ages, martial arts grandmasters referred to it as the ‘End of All Things,’ unstoppable and unquestionable—the ‘Wings of the End.’
And in the ancient times, the strong wielders of abilities called it the ‘Flame Emperor of the End,’ or the ‘Dragon of the End.’
The Titanium Ragdoll breed, managed by the Louise family, was a creation of the power of the ‘Dragon of the End,’ and of course, could also be considered its descendants.
However, the Titanium Ragdoll inherited less than one billionth of the power of the ‘Dragon of the End,’ and due to the shallow dragon bloodline lurking in their bodies, they were easily influenced by the properties of Arcane Force and rare treasures, evolving into differently shaped Type pets.
After thousands of years of research, the Louise family found that the crimson gate could only be opened with the fresh blood of the ‘Dragon of the End.’ Otherwise, even legendary heroes would not be able to break through this barrier.
However, traces of the ‘Dragon of the End’ had long vanished within the country; even if the Louise family found it, they would stand no chance against it, let alone take its Dragon Blood. It was more likely they would be reduced to ash by the dragon’s flames.
But solutions are more plentiful than difficulties. After generations of effort, the Louise family discovered that the Titanium Ragdoll and the ‘Dragon of the End’ shared the same origin. Perhaps the blood of high-level Fire Type pets might open the gate!
Therefore, equipped with the Talent “Erudite,” Rosalind took the chance upon meeting David Jones to invest and maintain good relations, even going as far as to invite Lilith Hoyle to meet David at a great cost, all to ensure the prophetic vision becomes reality.
“Indeed, David, as a disciple with legendary potential and a man of great destiny, the bloodline potency of the Pet Destiny Dragondoll far exceeds that of the Overlord Amber Dragon!” Rosalind thought to herself.
Without the family inheritance, who would have thought a place like Waterland City would be home to an ancient relic harboring an Emperor Beast!
And likewise, if it weren’t for the awakening of the “Erudite” Talent, it would be hard to imagine that Waterland City could produce an unheard of Beast Master’s Pride List prodigy like David.
…
After successfully making Daphne’s avatar a beloved member of the Purple Haze Club’s Alchemy Chamber, David Jones and Margaret Yule attended a celebration banquet hosted by Rosewood College together.
“You should hang onto the tickets for the Beast Garden. I don’t have the energy to nurture a Pet youngling right now,” David declined.
Margaret’s personality was a bit contrary; she insisted on keeping things strictly clear.
David had brought her to the national competition simply as a benefit of her diligent service as vice-president, but she felt as if she were taking advantage.
“You know about the Star Moon Auction House?” David stopped in his tracks.
“Of course, it’s one of the most famous auction events in the country,” Margaret replied, looking puzzled.
“The Time Stone is a unique item auctioned by the Star Moon Auction House. I need to purchase a batch,” David said seriously, looking into her eyes.
Purchasing Pet Resources in bulk consumes a lot of time. Coupled with the fact he had taken the God Quenching Bodhi from the Star Moon Auction Event, if possible, David would like to find a middleman to buy Time Stones for him, and Margaret was one of the best candidates.
As the champion of the National Trainer Cooperation Competition and the vice president of the Purple Haze Club, Margaret Yule had the capability to start a preliminary collaboration with the Star Moon Auction House and purchase Time Stones in bulk, which the auction did not pay much attention to.
If the number of Time Stones purchased was enough, combined with the recently strengthened top-quality Dragon Crystals, David Jones was confident that he could evolve Loona into an unprecedented Time Type Pet Beast.
Hearing this, Margaret Yule lifted her head, her lips curving into a sweet smile, and she didn’t bring up the matter of the tickets again.
“No problem, I’ll confirm it for you right now.”
Seeing her hastily grabbing the phone, David Jones casually flicked his finger at her, “We can talk about it tomorrow, today is for celebration.”
…
The night grew deeper and the number of people joining the dinner increased.
“Eek.” (The taste is mediocre.)
Rainbow held a grilled fish in its paws, took a bite, and made a face of disdain, feeling that tonight’s dishes were not as delicious as the food usually made by David Jones.
“Chomp chomp!”
At that moment, a series of sounds like a pig rooting around in cabbages caught Rainbow’s attention.
It tilted its head to see, Gluttonous Beast was performing something akin to ‘gobbling up three pigs in one bite’ in front of Loona and Daphne.
As for Lolo, she was holding a bottle of children’s milk, occasionally taking a sip, and watching the commotion with Rainbow.
Seemingly finding the temperature of the three roasted piglets not high enough, Gluttonous Beast’s three pitch-black claws covered in green lightning emitted flames from the Gate of Hell.
“Zzzzap zzzap!”
Jackson Grant and others were taken aback when they saw Gluttonous Beast using the “Gate of Hell” skill to roast the piglets with its flames.
To handle a Class VII Epic Fire Type skill with such ease, perfectly controlling it, this skill proficiency was at least at the level of mastery, if not perfect!
Could it be that using skills in everyday life can help improve skill proficiency?
Thinking of this possibility, Jackson Grant quickly transmitted the thought with his mind: “Frosty, could you use Blood Embodiment and Blood Snow to prepare gourmet food?”
Upon hearing this, Frost Wolf felt that the Trainer it had seen grow up was an idiot, and couldn’t help but roll its eyes.
If it dared to release Class VII Epic skills anytime and anywhere in daily life, not to mention whether it had enough Arcane Force, in less than three days, the Trainer’s protective arcane implement would be trashed.
Their gazes met, and Jackson Grant realized that his assumption was too presumptuous, and he subconsciously coughed lightly to cover his embarrassment.
“Senior, when do you plan on using the tickets for the Beast Garden, do you want to go together?” Sanne eagerly extended the invitation.
Although her strength was still too weak to contract a powerful pet from the Beast Garden, the thought of being able to continue getting tickets for the next four years made her unable to resist the temptation to indulge in a visit to the legendary Beast Garden to explore its depths.
“Let’s forget about the Beast Garden for now, just training and managing the pets I have under contract is keeping me busy enough, let alone adding another one,” David Jones declined.
“Buzz buzz!”
In that instant, the phone vibrated, and a message from Rosalind Louise suddenly appeared in David Jones’s vision.
