Chapter 202 - Ember's Human Form

Cale flew back to his residence after his discussion with the emperor.

As Cale was about to land on his manor, he heard a mighty roar that resembled the roaring of a dragon. 

A huge figure that was at least three times larger than the elephants on Earth can be seen flying towards his direction. Its muscular body was covered by ash black scales that looked many times harder than Z-Steel. Its head had two sword-like horns that gleamed with a ferocious vibe. The beast looked like a giant horse except that it had sharp claws and long saw-like teeth. This beast was non-other than Ember, the Brutal Armored Pegasus that Cale subdued while they were on the Death Forest!

Translucent black flames covered Ember's body as it stood before Cale with puppy eyes. 

If anyone saw this scene, their eyeballs would surely pop out of their sockets in shock. 

That was because Ember was already at the late-stage of the Immortal-Class level! The Brutal Armored Pegasus evolved once more after breaking through the Immortal-Class level. It now looked even more ferocious! 

Cale stroked Ember's cold scales with a pleased smile on his face. "You're almost as strong as me now, Ember. Good! The Holy Nourishing Crystal provided you with a lot of benefits indeed. But if I give you more of it now, I'm afraid that it will no longer be of help."

As Cale was deep in his thoughts, he realized that the cold scales of Ember suddenly felt smooth and soft in his hand. He turned his gaze in front of him and realized that Ember transformed into a beautiful young woman! 

She looked like a young woman in her late teens. She had a long black hair reached her toes and it fluttered as the wind blew. She had a reddish-black pupil that fit her perfectly. Her beauty almost surpassed the elven standards and even Cale felt somewhat surprised by her looks. She was wearing a long black dress which made her look like an emissary of death. This was Ember's human form! 

Savaged beasts evolve by consuming the flesh and blood of other beasts or if they consume a natural treasure. The talents of savage beasts also depended on their bloodline. If they had the bloodline of a primordial beast, then their paths would be much smoother.

As for Ember, she was a pure-blooded Brutal Armored Pegasus! A primordial beast from the Ancient Era. Although her kind was significantly weaker compared to the Immemorial Celestial Dragons, Heaven Burning Phoenix, White Tiger Sovereign, and the Black Tortoise, they were still someone with the primordial bloodline. That was also why Asteria was so surprised when she sensed the primordial bloodline of Ember. 

Primordial Beasts were very rare during the Ancient Era and they were even more so rare at present. So Cale was very lucky to subdue one when it was still young!

"Ember, is this your human form?" Cale's right hand which was still on top of Ember's head turned stiff as he asked the evil-looking young woman in front of him.

"Yes, Master." Her voice was definitely not on the angelic or soothing type. It had a charming feel to it that would make the ones with weaker wills lost and spellbound

Her expression was neutral and indifferent, but there was a trace of warmness to it when her gaze was on Cale's face. 

"That's good! Let's go back home, Ember. The others might have misunderstood your loud roar earlier." Cale smiled with a teasing look on his face. 

Ember's face remained expressionless, but her cheeks turned a shade redder. 

Cale smiled after seeing that. He then gestured for her to follow him inside the manor. 

Not long later, a few strong auras flew towards them. They were Aurora, Zero, Brogen, Atlas, Nocturna, Zarinvienne, and even Wenren Wushuang was there. They had wary looks on their faces as they surveyed the surroundings. 

Among the seven of them, the strongest was Aurora who was already at the peak-stage of the Immortal-Class level. She was followed by Zero and Brogen who were both at the late-stage of the Immortal-Class level. Atlas and the two ladies, Zarinvienne and Nocturna were surprisingly also at the late-stage of the Immortal-Class level!

Cale thought that it was only Zero who had grown a lot. To think that all five subordinates who came with him from Earth were now at the late-stage of the Immortal-Class level!

Cale smiled after seeing their growth. The cultivation resources he had provided them were not wasted at all.

"It's His Lordship. But who is the lady beside him? And why do I feel a terrifying demonic aura from her?" Zero muttered silently, but his words were loud enough for the others to hear. 

"Greetings, my lord." The group greeted in unison with respectful looks.

Cale waved his hand and smiled. "It appears that everyone reaped bountiful harvests in your cultivation."

Aurora and the others remained silent while Brogen spoke with a wide smile as he scratched the back of his head. "It is only after using your lordship's cultivation resources that our strength improved by leaps and bounds." 

The other six nodded their heads slightly in agreement. 

Cale shook his head and said with a smile. "I'm comforted with the growth of you guys, but I hope that you won't be reckless in improving your cultivation. Although we are pressed by time, too much haste might bring unnecessary trouble in your road to cultivation. You guys must keep this in mind."

All seven of them nodded their heads before they bowed at Cale.

"We have learned a lot from your words, my lord." Atlas said with a subservient look. 

Cale chuckled at his words. He then dragged Ember who was standing behind him as if she was his shadow. 

"Enough with the flattering words. This lady in front of you is someone you guys know." The seven people knitted their eyebrows in confusion when they heard Cale's words.

"She is Ember." Cale said while looking amusedly at their stunned expressions.
