Chapter 515: 509: Local Slowdown

Under the gaze of everyone (and their pets), Loona’s fierce-looking face softened. She picked up the Special Grade Dragon Crystal on the table, which was shimmering with a faint glow, hesitated for a moment, and swallowed it.

“Buzz!”

After consuming the Time Stone, the purple-black patterns on Loona’s body seemed energized, bursting with intense light.

As the light dissipated, David Jones noticed mysterious, dazzling runes moving around Loona’s body, eventually disappearing quietly.

At the same time, a new skill appeared on Loona.

“Skill”: Local Slowdown

“Level”: Class VI Time Enhancement Area Skill

“Profile”: By reducing the flow of time around the enhancer, this skill significantly increases the speed at which skills are released. While opponents can only release one skill, the enhancer can release dozens of them.

After reading the skill description, David Jones nodded slightly in approval.

Although this skill isn’t the Time Freeze he wanted the most, it’s a powerful time-based skill nonetheless.

Looking at Loona’s somewhat excited eyes, David Jones asked softly, “Can you use Local Slowdown on teammates?

“Meh!” (Yes!)

The patterns on Loona’s body lit up, and an overwhelming yet elusive force of Time instantly blessed Rainbow.

“Ee-!” (The world has slowed down!)

Rainbow looked at David Jones in astonishment, then looked unbelievingly at her own dragon claw before activating Instant Teleportation.

“Swoosh!”

In just an instant, Rainbow’s figure appeared four times at various spots in the wooden house.

“How many times did you use Instant Teleportation?” David Jones asked, his eyes focused.

“Ee!” (Ten times!)

Rainbow replied.

Hearing this, David Jones turned his head towards Gluttonous Beast.

“Gluttonous Beast, how many times did you see?”

“Roar.” (Six times.)

The next second, David Jones cast his gaze onto Lolo.

Lolo blinked her glowing green pupils, then stretched out her chubby hand, showing all ten fingers.

“Seventh-Order Tyrants have overly sensitive perception. Even with the support of Local Slowdown, Rainbow cannot escape Lolo’s detection, but it’s different for pets below Class VI,” he thought.

Thinking of this, David Jones had a somewhat strange expression on his face.

It seems that the Local Slowdown skill appears to enhance Loona’s strength, but in reality, the one who benefits most from the enhancement is Rainbow!

Though Normal Local Slowdown can only support one target, Rainbow itself is an unlimited skill artillery.

If it gains the support of Local Slowdown, the speed of skill release will dramatically increase, and even if Infinite Ice Tornado can be continuously released, the earth-shaking Infinite Extreme Ice can help Rainbow directly confront and even defeat Sixth-Order King-Class Exotic Beasts!

“Ee!” (®*^*g>) (That’s right!)

Understanding the power of Local Slowdown, Rainbow’s gaze towards Loona became even more affectionate. It even couldn’t wait to try Infinite Ice Tornado but was stopped by David Jones.

“Everyone in the village is resting at night, don’t make such a fuss!” He said helplessly.

He didn’t want the villagers of Penance Village to wake up the next day to find it snowing in April and their houses collapsed under the weight of the tremendous snowfall.

“It’s a shame I only bought one Time Stone back then!

After sighing inwardly, David Jones multitasked, focusing on the Taikoo Black Dragon Chart to enhance his psychic power, while strengthening high-level dragon crystals with his Dragon-Wielding ability, making preparations to buy more Time Stones in the future.

The next morning, Greenox drove a bull cart to David s door.

As David sensed Greenox’s presence and opened the door, the first thing he saw was a sharp-horned, rugged yellow giant bull with bulging muscles and dense mane.

“A Class III Superior Plough Bull, slower in speed.” David frowned slightly. It would take at least five days for the Plough Bull to reach Spring Mansion from Penance Village, about a thousand kilometers away, and perhaps even more, up to ten or a half month if detours were necessary.

“Sir, I couldn’t find a carriage in Penance Village for a while, so…” Greenox stammered.

Greenox felt that it would be somewhat demeaning for someone of David’s status to ride in a bull cart, but he could not find a better horse.

The Wind-Chasing Horses at Penance Mountain had the power to reach Class IV, but he could not catch up with the difficult-to-tame horse in his secretly injured condition.

“This will do.” David picked up Lolo, who was full of curiosity, and got into the cart.

It wouldn’t be too late to change transportation when they arrived at Suffering County or Silver-Abyssal City.

“Have you had breakfast?”

Seeing Aqua’s pale face in the carriage, David spoke up.

“Yes.” Aqua unconsciously took a step back.

For some reason, the adorable pet in David’s arms gave her a strong sense of oppression, making her body tremble involuntarily.

“What a sensitive perception.” David glanced thoughtfully at Lolo and smiled, “Don’t worry, Lolo never hurts people.”

“Lolo?” Aqua looked enviously at Lolo.

As an orphan, she also wanted a unique name for herself.

As for the name Aqua, it was just a nickname given to her by the village children to tease her for her blue hair and pointed teeth traits. She actually was not fond of the name.

Greenox, who was driving the cart, suddenly reminded: “Sir, we are expected to pass through Mermaid Lake, one of the tributaries of Star Abyss Lake, at sunset this afternoon.”

As the name suggests, Mermaid Lake is the home of the Mermaid Clan, a powerful and formidable tribe.

The leader of Mermaid Clan has reached the peak of Class V Ghost Prince, only a step away from Class VI Ghost King, and is a famous strong figure in Suffering County area.

Any ghosts who want to enter Suffering County through Mermaid Lake must pay a hefty toll to the Mermaids.

Those without enough wealth and a mediocre background would not be able to pass through Mermaid Lake alive.

After listening to Greenox’s account, David was surprised, “A mere Class V Ghost Prince can dominate a region and charge exorbitantly, doesn’t Silver Abyss City Lord care about it?”

“Just Class V!!!” Greenox licked his dry lips in amazement.

Before he was severely injured, a Ghost Prince’s strength was already considered as a strong figure in Suffering County and even in Silver-Abyssal City, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to return alive from his journey to Night County.

And if he was not mistaken, the healer’s physical strength should also be at the level of a Ghost Prince!

“Jewel, the leader of the Mermaids, is a renowned beauty in Suffering County. It is said that she shares close connections with several powerful people in Silver-Abyssal City, so the County Lord has no choice but to turn a blind eye.” Greenox’s tone was envious.

He once had the fortune to meet Jewel, and would be content to die if he could share a night of passion with her.

Seeing Greenox’s lustful expression, David became more curious about the famous Jewel.

It was said that Mermaid’s tears could be used in alchemy to produce Longevity Elixirs, and the Mermaids in the Flowery Kingdom had long been extinct.

Longevity Elixirs were in high demand, and perhaps he could purchase some Mermaid Tears along the way..
