Chapter 302: Master of the Guardian beasts part-4

Bailey

Species: Snake (Anaconda)

Status: Corrupted, mutated

Level: 300

Grade: Legendary+

HP: 100%

Description: The guardian beast of the Zidor Kingdom. It used to be the mount of Asteria Zidor but after being corrupted by the demonic energy, it was imprisoned in the river of Lazuli

"Hmm… with corrupted and legendary+ grade… its HP must be 2.64 Billion. Unlike the cat, it would also have a 50% damage reduction. So, it won't die as long as I don't use powerful skills…"

Probably, Wil might be the only person in the world who would worry about not killing a guardian beast accidentally rather than worrying about its power.

"Still, I need to bring it to the brink of its death to use the pet scroll…"

Yes, that's right. Unlike the cat, Wil didn't plan on using the taming skill.

Not because that he was impatient to wait for 12 hours Cooldown time but it's because of their passive ability to grow along with their owner without taking any share of EXP.

If he were to using Beast-Taming Skill and tame them, sure, he can use multiple guardian beasts at the same time.

However, their ability to grow will also be ceased. They will forever stay as level-300 beasts.

Then, what's the use of capturing them? To remove other player's chances to become stronger?

Sure, it was one of the reasons.

But, there's also another reason.

He planned to make a guardian beast army in the future…

First, Wil would place them in pet slots, keeping them hidden and only use them when he was in disguise.

In the meantime, he will slowly mutate them into mythic-grade monsters and maximize their potential.

And, later, in the future, when he finally reaches level-500, he will release them, one by one.

The moment they were released as level-500 Mythic grade beasts, he will then, capture them with the beast taming skill.

Once he will be successful, even if all other legend class users joined together and attack him, they will face nothing but defeat.

However, this plan is also risky as the possibility of taming a mythic-grade beast will be close to zero.

Back to the present situation, raising its body more than 30% of its length, the snake glared at the person who dared to use underhanded tactics to imprison it.

This man even dared to imprison the fellow guardian beasts of other kingdoms.

After spending a few hours in that dark cell that suppressed its powers, the anaconda is filled with rage as soon as it became free.

*Hiss*

It immediately attacked Wil, not caring about the lava lake that was harming its health.

"Please… Don't be too much of an idiot…" Wil muttered under his breath as he looked at the incoming attack. He immediately conjured an ice arrow and shot towards its mouth.

The ice arrow cut through the air and reached the snake before it even decreased the distance between itself and the enemy.

The arrow pierces through one of its teeth, dealing heavy damage to it. The snake's upper body fell to the ground.

*Critical* "2,567,214,543"

*Ding! Critical hit landed. Unique passive skill, Divinity is activated.

*Ding! HP is less than 10%. Divinity is failed to affect.

"Phew…" Wil sighed in relief. "I almost killed it. Damn, I shouldn't have used the ice arrow… Anyway, only 2.8% remaining... I can capture with the legendary grade pet scroll, right now.

But it would be a lot better if I can bring its health below 1%. The lava flood will decrease within 20 seconds. I just need to hold on, until then…"

To make sure he doesn't kill it accidentally, Wil put his weapon away and then, glanced at the skill list to see whether any skill can help him out. After all, Gravity Suppression will not affect a legendary+ grade monster.

After reading all the skill descriptions, Wil let out a helpless sigh as he found every skill is powerful enough to wipe it out.

The only useful skill that can be used is Absolute ice control which is right now in cool down.

All of a sudden, something clicked in his mind. "Ah! That's right…"

"What an idiot…" He slapped his forehead for being stupid for searching skill list while the solution is elsewhere.

Closing the screen, he looked at the snake that slowly lifted its body once again and hissed at him angrily. A deep red aura erupted from it before the aura changes into purple.

*Ding! Bailey's health has fallen below 30%. It went into a berserk state. All of its attacks will deal damage, two times the original.

*Ding! Bailey's health has fallen below 10%. It went into a second berserk state. All of its attacks will deal damage, three times the original.

Instead of trying to swallow him, this time, it tried to use its tail to capture him and crush his bones…

However, in the next second, its eyes widened as it saw a ball of light hit on its forehead.

"Can't believe I'm using Strix of all the things to counter a guardian beast," Wil mumbled as he watched the scene where a bee, which was in the size of a palm, was hitting the hundred-meter long anaconda that was struggling to find its path.

Ten seconds passed, the lava took out another 1% of its health.

"C'mon, Strix… You can do it… Keep it busy just for a while…" Wil hoped that it won't be caught by this guardian beast. After all, Strix is of Elite grade…

Ten seconds later;

The purple aura turned into a dark and deathly aura.

*Hiss…"

The anaconda let out another angry hiss. It was so powerful that Wil had to close his ears momentarily. He started to receive notifications.

*Ding! Strix was killed by Bailey.

*Ding! You are affected by the Hiss of Death. Your skills will not be available for the next 30 minutes.

*Ding! Bailey's health has fallen below 1%. It entered the final berserk state. All of its Attacks deal damage, four times the original.

"Hmpf… As if I would need any skills…"

Wil didn't care either about the death of the bee, his grey skill, or its stat increase. 

He just took out the legendary grade pet scroll and used it on the beast.

*Ding! The capture rate is 99%. Proceed?

Wil clicked on Yes, with a smile.

As the scroll disappeared from his hands, black-colored chains appeared out of nowhere and captured it tightly for five seconds.

The snake disappeared, followed by a series of notifications.

*Ding! You captured Bailey. It was stored in one of the pet slots.

*Ding! Congratulations, you captured a legendary+ grade pet. You receive 1000 fame points as a reward.

*Ding! Congratulations, you captured a guardian beast. You receive 2000 fame points as a reward.

*Ding! As the owner of the guardian beast's spirit, your status is elevated to the prince of Zidor and will be adopted into the Royal family.

*Ding! Llyne kingdom and Searvale kingdom citizenship detected. Do you wish to change your citizenship from Llyne to Zidor? Warning: Your status as a Prince of Llyne will be removed.

Wil immediately rejected it.

*Ding! You rejected the citizenship of Zidor.

*Ding! Favorability with the king of Zidor dropped by 100

*Ding! You are now a wanted criminal in the kingdom of Zidor

"Eh?" Wil was taken aback by the latter half of the notifications.

He didn't know that one's status would be changed if one captures a guardian beast of other kingdoms.

But, then, as he thought about it, he felt that it was possible as it isn't some normal wild beast. Guardian beasts are the symbol of their kingdoms. Stealing them is the same as insulting their kingdom…

Although Wil was surprised about it, he didn't care much and proceed with releasing the second beast, the Wandering Spider of Hithlum after waiting for 30 minutes for his debuff to disappear.

However, before that, he used the Resurrection Ultimate skill to revive the Strix.

A giant spider with three pairs of eyes appeared before Wil.

Grelin

Species: Insect (Spider)

Level: 300

Status: Corrupted and Mutated

Grade: Legendary+

HP: 100%

Description: The guardian beast of the Hithlum Kingdom. It used to be the mount of Meiran Hithlum but after being corrupted by the demonic energy, it was imprisoned in the caves of Egress.

"Well… now, it was your turn, spidey…" Wil grinned as he equipped his bow. He followed the same process of conjuring an ice arrow and hitting it.

As all the guardian beasts have the same stats, the damage was exactly the same. Strix, with its speed of light, continued to hit the spider constantly to make sure the aggro is on it…

And the result just repeated.

*Ding! You captured Grelin. It was stored in one of the pet slots.

*Ding! Congratulations, you captured a legendary+ grade pet. You receive 1000 fame points as a reward.

*Ding! Congratulations, you captured a guardian beast. You receive 2000 fame points as a reward.

*Ding! You rejected the citizenship of Hithlum.

*Ding! Favorability with the king of Hithlum dropped by 100

*Ding! You are now a wanted criminal in the kingdom of Hithlum

After making an enemy out of two kingdoms, Wil waited for another 30 minutes before proceeding with releasing the final guardian beast, Armored Centipede of Sturin.

Once again, he hit this ten-meter big centipede with the ice arrow, dealing the same amount of damage. However, unlike before, he didn't bother to decrease its HP further to below 1% as Strix can't be revived yet and he didn't have anything else to hold it. Using pets other than Leon will be useless as they will be dead in one hit and using fallen angels or any skills will kill it…

He directly used the pet scroll.

*Ding! The success rate is 91%. Proceed?

Wil was surprised that the success rate decreased by that much. Nevertheless, he clicked on Yes.
