Chapter 669 - 671: 665: The Immortal's Pet
David Jones was slightly startled and quickly replied, “Senior Sister, what level of ancient relic is it?”
Indeed, ancient relics were also classified into levels, divided into three in total.
The lowest level was the Epic Relic, such as the Cold Cloud Heritage Relic that David once explored, where the relic’s owner’s strength was at the epic level.
Of course, after the appearance of the Class VIII Abyss Dragonemperor in the Cold Cloud Heritage Relic, its grade should accurately be considered as a Legendary Relic.
As for the highest level, the Immortal Relic, it was the First Emperor Dungeon that David entered, which contained terrifying existences of Immortal level.
In David’s view, with his current strength, it was best for him to explore the lowest-level ancient relics, as this was the most prudent approach.
However, the moment he thought of the small probability of an encounter with a Legendary Emperor in the Epic Relic, he immediately extinguished the adventurous ideas that were eagerly surfacing in his heart.
“Junior Brother, can you keep this a secret for me?”
Seeing his senior sister’s reply like this, David glanced at the pets that were clinking glasses together.
“If Senior Sister is willing to tell me the news, I naturally won’t spread it, but if the Trainer Guild asks me, I won’t hide it,” he said.
In the Flowery Kingdom, whenever an ancient relic emerged, the local Trainer Guild would take the initiative to occupy and develop it, only opening it to the public after the resources within the relic were largely exhausted.
The emergence of ancient relics was always a significant event, difficult to conceal. Rosalind’s such cautiousness indicated that the Trainer Guild had not yet discovered this ancient relic; currently, it must still be in a no-man’s land open for everyone to develop.
However, the window for tackling ancient relics was very short, ranging from three months to half a year.
If the discoverer of the relic could not complete the exploration within the allotted time, ownership would be transferred to the local Trainer Guild.
Therefore, upon encountering an ancient relic, weaker Trainers would choose to report to the Trainer Guild to get a share of the spoils, while powerful Beast Control Powers would opt to develop it alone or even conceal the discovery time to avoid losing the rights to the relic after the exploration period had ended.
Clearly, between these two options, Senior Sister Louise chose the second one.
Rosalind Louise: “Senior Sister won’t make it difficult for you. If the Trainer Guild comes to you, just tell them the truth…”
“The Endbringer, the Dragon of the End? One of the ten extreme Flame Emperors?”
Slowly going through the relic information, David was a bit shocked, feeling as if the word “danger” had suddenly appeared before his eyes.
What was the concept of a Legendary Relic?
It was a terrifying relic that even Legendary Beast Tamers would approach with extreme caution, for there was always a risk of injury.
In the search for a thread of opportunity to break through to legendary status, many elusive Epic apex powers would risk their lives to enter a Legendary Relic shortly before their time came.
As far as David knew, Rosalind was just a Master Trainer. What was the difference between entering such a terrifying ancient relic and lighting a candle in a restroom?
“Senior Sister, you might as well look for our teacher. With his strength, tackling the Demise Relic won’t be easy, but it certainly won’t be dangerous,” David suggested tactfully.
The existence of the Nine Dragons Purple Gold Armor gave him some confidence in front of legendary powers, but that didn’t mean he could recklessly venture in Legendary Relics—that could kill a person!
Glancing at the phone that had sunk into silence with no reply for a long time, David sighed, then picked up a huge roasted chicken wing about a meter long from the table, glistening with oil.
…
Just minutes ago, Rosalind Louise looked up with a solemn expression at the enormous creature that lay sleeping in the distance, yet still managed to evoke a sense of dread and terror.
Protruding around the edge of its head were eight fiery red sharp horns, and under its powerful limbs were the faintly glowing terrifying dragon claws.
Unlike its lava-red limbs, its belly was covered in silver dragon scales, and its back and tail ends were studded with thorn-like spikes.
Indeed, this fire dragon was one of the ten ultimate Flame Emperors that the Louise family had sought for generation after generation, and in terms of strength, it was only second to the Immortal.
At this moment, this ferocious giant dragon lay quietly in the middle of the lava river, with a quarter of its enormous dragon body covered by the lava.
Its belly rose and fell slightly, and from its nostrils, it occasionally sprayed sparks, clearly indicating that this terrifying dragon from the Neolithic Period was still alive, just currently in a deep slumber.
Seeing this, Rosalind turned to look to her right, where a pair of soul-stealing, demon-wing-like pitch-black dragon wings was slightly folded.
The lava-laden, ferocious, and powerful dragon body looked like a god in the flesh, and even though its entire body was locked with six black chains, it still exuded an unstoppable domineering Dragon Domination.
Under this vast Dragon Domination, even though Rosalind and her companion tried their best to suppress the excitement in their hearts, their hearts still beat uncontrollably.
“The Dragon of the End’s egg is right there!”
Despite feeling somewhat short of breath and terrified, in the face of great interest, Gregory Louise focused his gaze on the gigantic lava egg clutched by the right claw of the Dragon of the End.
“Don’t rush, Father,” Rosalind halted with a hand gesture, her eyes looking towards the giant multicolored stone stele near the Dragon’s mouth.
In an instant, a crushing Domination spread from the stele and invaded Rosalind’s mind.
[I have slain the Seven Definite Dead Demon here, but my Pet, the Dragon of the End, was mystified by it, falling into the demon’s path.
Considering its contributions in eliminating the demon, I have sealed it here with the Six Paths Dragon Locking Circle, to let the long passage of time and the heavenly and earthly arcane force erode the Dead Demon’s spirit and completely eliminate the demonic thoughts.
Future generations shall not disturb it without possessing the Pure Blood of Doom that can pass through the Sacred Gold Gate. Remember, remember, Behemoth Goldsmith’s warning.]
“Behemoth Goldsmith??”
Upon hearing this name known to all, Rosalind’s eyes widened in shock.
There were only a few Immortal Trainers mentioned in historical records, even fewer after the Neolithic Period, numbering fewer than five, and Behemoth Goldsmith was one of them, a top-grade powerhouse from the same era as Saint Ingersoll.
As the founder of Peony College, or rather the leader who transformed Peony Holy Land, Behemoth Goldsmith possessed invincible strength of his time. He could have established a dynasty not weaker than the Origin Dynasty whenever he wished, but he did not.
“This Dragon of the End has been mystified by the Seven Definite Dead Demon, no wonder it has been locked here unable to move!” Rosalind’s pupils contracted, daring not to make any movement.
Haste does not bring success. The fact that the Mechinery Pet that came to explore previously was unscathed doesn’t mean this place is absolutely safe. Should this demon dragon suddenly awaken, it could lead to an unforeseen catastrophe.
Being an epitome of Beasts, an Emperor Dragon’s temperament can become even more irate and terrifying after being mystified, leaving nothing alive in its wake, a total eradication of life. Even legendary powerhouses can do nothing but retreat before it.
In short, the risks associated with this mystified dragon were too high for Rosalind to take a gamble.
However, what she feared the most was about to happen.
The next second, under Rosalind’s shocked and panicked gaze, the calm Magma River suddenly erupted with a towering brightness.
