Chapter 687 - 689: 683: Sword of Dance

“Hold your breath and calm your mind, I will now bestow the power upon you,”

“Stop!” David Jones exclaimed in surprise, “Why are you bestowing power upon me?”

Azr’s tone came to a halt, incredulous, “What do you mean? Do you really expect me to teach a Gluttonous Beast sword techniques designed for Emperor Dragons?”

“Is that not possible?” David Jones retorted.

He was a Trainer, not a Sword Master. With the Gluttonous Beast by his side, there was no need for him to bother learning the Dragon Slaying Swordplay.

After all, improving Arcane Star Cultivation, training pet skills, and managing resource logistics were the most important duties of a Trainer. If he were to be distracted by swordplay, wouldn’t that be as misguided as playing the lute to a cow?

Hearing David Jones’s matter-of-fact response, Azr suddenly felt that the payment of fifteen Dragon Crystals was too little.

“Fine, fine, fine, but let me be clear, the technique I bestow upon you can directly skip the novice stage and grasp the proficient level of Dragon Slaying Swordplay, but if it’s bestowed upon the Gluttonous Beast, it’s very possible that it won’t comprehend anything!” Azr said coldly.

“No problem,” David Jones replied.

If this attempt were successful, it would be a huge gain. But even if the Gluttonous Beast failed to grasp the sword techniques, they could still use matching sword methods to further control the Chaos Emperor Blade.

In any case, regardless of the final outcome, David Jones felt he wouldn’t be at a loss!

At this moment, seeing David Jones standing still and contemplating without speaking, Rosalind Louise reminded him, “Don’t worry, it’s just a swarm of Black Sun Worms. With the teacher and me here, the Gluttonous Beast won’t be in danger.”

It was indeed strange. When she and her father had entered the deeper layers of the Demise Relic, they hadn’t encountered a single Beast.

Yet, in just half a month’s time, a sealed relic had somehow come to house a swarm of Black Sun Worms.

“Okay.”

David Jones, his eyes brimming with surprise, nodded and signaled for the Gluttonous Beast to lead the way.

As for Rainbow and the others, they looked on with curiosity at the Chaos Emperor Blade, eager to know how much power this legendary weapon could unleash in the hands of the Gluttonous Beast!

Shortly after entering the tunnel, David Jones and the others spotted a swarm of golden, flame-like worms in the corner ahead.

They were about eighty centimeters long, with chubby heads sporting a pair of short, fiery red antennae. At the moment, they were furiously stirring the soil with their sharp teeth.

During their meal, three pairs of wings, which looked like blazing flames, would gently flutter on their backs, with dazzling sparks falling to the ground from time to time.

“Pet Name”: Black Sun Worm (variant species)

“Pet Type”: Fire Type, Dragon Type

“Species Level”: Commander

“Grade”: Class VI lower-level

“Species Skill”: Flame-eating Armor, Legion Spread, Residual Fire Bite, Flame Berserk

“Pet Profile”: Influenced by the power of the Dragon of the End, this swarm of Black Sun Worms defied the limits of their Species Level, breaking through to the lower tier of Class VI. As a price for igniting their power, their already short lifespans have become as fleeting as shooting stars in the night sky.

As soon as David Jones discovered the swarm of Black Sun Worms, they also became aware of the uninvited guests.

Normally, the combat-averse Black Sun Worms would choose to flee at the first opportunity, but under the influence of the dragon force of the End, their temperamental and irritable nature led them to create a dense barrage of fireballs with their sharp teeth, launching an attack at the fastest speed.

“This isn’t right, the Normal Arcane Force Value of the Black Sun Worms is as high as three hundred and eighty thousand, almost reaching the lower limit of a Class VI King!”

As the information came through the Arcane Glasses, Rosalind’s pupils shrank, and she began to worry for David Jones’s contracted pet.

After all, there were as many as twelve Black Sun Worms gathered ahead. If they could unite and fight together, the combat power they could unleash in an instant might far exceed that of twelve different Class VI Kings of different species.

However, sometimes the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen. Watching the Black Sun Worms attack in unison, Rosalind’s expression changed subtly, her gaze instinctively turning to the teacher.

It’s said, “One should view an old acquaintance with new eyes after a mere three days’ separation.”

Although Rosalind Louise had long known that David Jones was now a King-level Trainer, there was still a disparity between Kings.

At least she didn’t have the confidence to let her Amber Dragon withstand the combined attack of a swarm of Black Sun Worms, and she believed David Jones felt the same.

It was best to let her mentor take action now!

“Don’t worry, just keep watching!” Lilith Hoyle said with a slight smile.

In front of a legendary figure, no matter how many Class VI Beasts there were, they could only die in vain, let alone harm their own Contracted Pets.

Hearing this, Rosalind furrowed her brows slightly and turned her gaze to the three-meter-long Gluttonous Beast.

“Beep Beep Beep!”

The data displayed by the Arcane Glasses surged rapidly, nearly blinding Rosalind with seven-digit figures.

One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand, million!

Normal Arcane Force Value of one million five hundred thousand!

“How can this be!” Rosalind blinked her eyes, looking at her own Amber Dragon with some disbelief.

“Beep Beep, Normal Arcane Force Value of one million four hundred and forty-eight thousand!”

“Outrageous, the data can’t be wrong; my painstakingly trained Amber Dragon is actually losing to David Jones’s Gluttonous Beast in terms of Normal Arcane Force Value,” Rosalind couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Is this what they call the true worth of a millennium’s greatest talent?

In just two years, he had completely surpassed her, no wonder her mentor is willing to escort and protect her junior brother!

While Rosalind was somewhat in a daze, David Jones gave an order to the Gluttonous Beast to use the new sword technique at will.

“Just attack at will?”

Watching the overwhelming flames, the Gluttonous Beast narrowed its dark dragon eyes and slowly pressed down its dragon body to gather strength, with the Chaos Emperor Blade held in its mouth emitting a chilling cold light that sent shivers down one’s spine.

“Zap!”

The next instant, Rosalind felt darkness before her eyes; the intensely brilliant sword light exploded in her vision, with countless sharp sword lights flickering wildly.

Under such a fearsome sword light, even the space of the entire world seemed to freeze, even causing Rosalind to feel a sense of discord.

The next second, the sword light burst forth, and the frozen flames instantly collapsed, the all-encompassing fire annihilated into countless sparks scattering with the wind.

“Hiss, what a handsome strike!” David Jones’s eyes gleamed.

It must be said, the Gluttonous Beast indeed has a talent for swordsmanship; its attack with the Chaos Emperor Blade was so fast that even his Illusion-Piercing Eye almost failed to catch it.

“Roar!” (That’s nothing special!)

The Gluttonous Beast arrogantly turned its head and placed the Chaos Emperor Blade back onto the Dragon Bone Base at its left shoulder.

“What’s the situation, is it over?” Rosalind looked puzzled.

“Not bad at all, to think that there exists an Emperor Dragon in this world that can master the Dragon Slaying Swordplay!” Lilith Hoyle nodded in satisfaction, completely ignoring the cluster of Black Sun Worms in front of her.

“Mentor, …”

Just as Rosalind was about to inquire, the Black Sun Worms gathered in the distance suddenly let out a series of pitiful howls, followed by the eruption of flames on their bodies.

Under Rosalind’s astounded gaze, the bodies of the twelve Black Sun Worms not only shattered into countless segments but even the rocky corridor they were in was completely sliced open and fell away due to the sword light.

Only at this moment did Rosalind realize what had actually happened before!
