Chapter 700: Third System Fragment

"Phoenix, take care of that group of Gold Grade Beasts.""Frostwing Dragon, you can play with the second horde of Gold Grade Beasts."

"Howler, you can take care of those two Purple Grade Blood Serpents?"

"As for others, you can also join the fight and help them."

Leo ordered his three Purple Grade Beasts while he was enjoying the battle with a leisurely look on his face.

Even though Leo had more than a dozen contracted skills, he felt there was no need to use them.

Moreover, before coming to this world, he fought his entire life and thought that it was not a bad idea to watch while his beasts fight for him.

"I can take care of these two Purple Grade Beasts, Master."

Since the Celestial Forest Howler was a Quasi Divine Class beast with a strength of Level 1 Purple Grade, it was a piece of cake for it to kill a group of Level 1 Purple Grade Beasts, not to mention there were only two of them now.

Hence, Howler replied that it would take care of them.

Similarly, the Phoenix Eagle and the Frostwing Dragon also followed Leo's order and they were confident in killing 50 Gold-Grade Beasts around them.

'I thought Howler would be the strongest beast thanks to its bloodline; however, I never expected that these two would also awaken their bloodlines and become more powerful than Celestial Forest Howler.'

Looking at the two-meter eagle that was entirely covered in flames and the three-meter blue-coloured flying dragon, Leo could not help but mutter with a slight smile on his face.

That's right!

After they successfully broke through to Purple Grade, they unlocked two new skills and a bloodline each.

[Flameheart Phoenix God Bloodline]: Upon activation, the beast's strength would increase by one major grade for 10 minutes and there are no side effects.

Cooldown: One hour.

[Nether Ice Dragon's Bloodline]: Upon activation, the beast's strength would increase by one major grade for 20 minutes with a temporary weakening side effect for one hour.

Cooldown: One hour.

Even though all bloodlines had different names, they have a similar effect.

Nevertheless, among the three bloodlines, the Phoenix Eagle's bloodline was outstanding because there were no side effects.

Between the Celestial Forest Howler's Bloodline and the Frostwing Dragon's Bloodline, it was the Dragon's Bloodline that had the upper hand.

Moreover, compared to the Celestial Forest Howler, the other two beasts have strong attacking skills and attacking power.

'Nevertheless, Howler is an excellent beast as he is an all-rounder. It has attacking skills, defending skills, healing skills and controlling skills.'

Looking at the three Purple Grade Beasts in front of him, Leo was confident that it wouldn't take long before he got his hands on the third fragment of the system.

'Even though the breakthrough of these two beasts didn't trigger the [Symbiotic Empowerment], I can feel that my body became a little stronger with their breakthrough.'

Since those two beasts were his contracted beasts, their breakthrough would naturally help Leo; however, it would be minimal but still, Leo had a total of 18 contracted beasts.

Even if the response from his contracted beasts was minimum, combined together, it would make Leo a lot stronger.

Another important thing about the Eagle and Dragon was, their class upgraded from Heaven to Quasi Divine just like Howler.

Hence, their battle prowess was so much stronger than they could easily fight against a level 5 Purple Grade beast and kill it without even using their Bloodline.

If they used the bloodline, they could even fight against level 3 Diamond Grade Beasts.

Time continued to pass and Leo and his group of beasts entered deeper and deeper into the Blood Valley.

At one point in time, they no longer encounter Gold Grade Beasts which decreased Leo's collection of Gold Grade Essence Orbs which he had already given to Flame Devourer Dragon and Dark Shadow Panther King.

After absorbing the Essence Orbs, they reached level 9 Gold Grade and were only one step away from level 10. Sᴇaʀch* Thᴇ NøᴠᴇlFire.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

However, the problem was the Gold Grade Essence Orbs.

"Don't worry, there are still four other most dangerous places in this world."

Leo said these words to all the Gold Grade Beasts under him as he continued, "Moreover, you can form a team and fight the Purple Grade Beasts to naturally increase your level."

In short, Leo suggested that they could increase their level by continuously fighting against the beasts one grade higher than them.

"By going through the life and death battles, you can unlock your hidden potential and increase your strength and level."

Leo's words were effective as these Gold Grade beasts actively participated in the fights against the Purple Grade Beasts.

Especially, the two thunder bears, no longer used [Sibling Link]; instead, they fought without using it and started increasing their synchronization.

'I think once their synchronization reaches 100 percent, their strength after merging would be increased by one major grade. And if they can awaken a bloodline in the future, they might reclaim their position as my strongest beast.'

Leo was looking forward to seeing the growth of the thunder bears.

….

Time continued to pass and Leo and his beasts finally reached the cave where the Crimson Blood Dragon lives.

Of course, Leo tortured…no, asked the beasts they encountered in the Blood Valley for the address of the Crimson Blood Dragon.

"Finally….I am here."

Looking at the ancient cave in front of him, Leo revealed an excited smile on his face.

"Master, I sense there is no one inside the cave."

"Same here, master. I can't sense the presence of any strong beasts from the cave."

Before Leo could do something, a few of his contracted beasts whose senses were top-notch informed Leo about their thoughts.

"Howler, go and check it out."

Leo frowned when he heard those words as he ordered the Celestial Forest Howler to enter the cave.

He was not worried about the safety of the Celestial Forest Howler because it has a passive defence skill and what's more, it has a terrifying healing ability.

"Yes, master."

Howler nodded its head and tried to enter the cave.

'Swoosh'

However, it was stopped by some kind of barrier that didn't let the Celestial Foresy Howler enter the cave.

"It looks like there is really no one on the other side of the cave."

Leo was almost sure about that; however, it really doesn't matter to him.

Whether there was a Crimson Blood Dragon in the cave or not, he was keen on getting the third system fragment at any cost.

"Blast it."

Soon, all three Purple Grade Beasts used their strongest attacks and blasted the barrier.

'Swoosh'

After destroying the barrier, the Celestial Forest Howler entered the cave without any fear and returned for a few moments.

"Master, there is no one inside the cave except for a huge dragon nest that was filled with all kinds of treasures and resources."

After completing its scouting, the Celestial Forest Howler was filled with excitement as it was informed about the treasures and resources inside the cave.

"Let's go."

Compared to the treasures, Leo was more excited about the third system fragment.

Soon, Leo entered the Dragon Cave and without bothering about anything, he directly searched for the system fragment and found it in no time.

'Finally….I got it.'

'Swoosh'

As soon as he picked the system fragment, the two other system fragments flew out of his storage space and started merging together.

'Ding,

Master, the Talent Swallowing System is at your service.
