Chapter 429 - 430: Flowers in the Greenhouse!
After the Contract was completed, Aster Grant curiously pulled up Isabelle’s Attributes.
It was probably because of the Dragon Emperor’s Power.
Earlier, when he’d tried to check Isabelle’s various Attributes, he’d been blocked by a layer of fog.
Now that he’d formed a temporary Contract with Isabelle, he could finally see her Attributes.
And as he read through Isabelle’s Attributes, Aster’s eyes widened slightly.
[Isabelle]
[Level: Monarch Tier One]
[Talent: Myth Nine Stars]
[Race: Dragon Clan]
[Power: 250000]
[Constitution: 200000]
[Spiritual: 150000]
[Speed: 200000]
[Skills: Law Body]
Seeing Isabelle’s various Attributes, Aster was briefly stunned.
The Dragon Clan was completely different from other races.
The Dragon Clan didn’t really "learn" Skills.
They relied purely on their own insanely strong physical Attributes to crush their enemies.
Take Isabelle for example.
She was only Monarch Tier One.
But her Power and Constitution Attributes had already exceeded two hundred thousand points.
Bear in mind, back when Veridia—who had once been the best at Power—was at Monarch Tier One, she’d been nowhere near this dragon.
As for his other Beastbond companions, there was even less point in comparing them to Isabelle.
From this alone, Aster understood why the Dragon Clan could be called the strongest Race in the Alternate Space.
And aside from their Attributes, the Dragon Clan’s Skills were completely broken.
Law Body!
It could fuse Law into one’s own body, massively boosting every Attribute.
And how much those Attributes increased depended entirely on one’s mastery over Law.
If the Law you controlled was strong enough, it wouldn’t be excessive to boost your Attributes by a million in one shot.
So when he saw this Skill, even Aster couldn’t help but sigh to himself.
Broken!
After finishing his look through Isabelle’s information, Aster had a rough grasp of the situation.
Then he asked, somewhat curious, about Isabelle’s level of Law mastery.
However, the moment she heard Aster’s question, the little girl’s body suddenly went stiff.
"Th-this..."
Seeing the little girl stammering like that, a bad premonition instantly surged up in Aster’s heart.
And sure enough, it was just as he suspected.
"Th-this, I haven’t learned how to use Law yet."
Hearing that, even the corner of Aster’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch.
You had to know, Isabelle’s Talent was Myth Nine Stars.
If you told him her Talent was lacking, Aster absolutely wouldn’t believe it.
Not to mention, there was also the Dragon Emperor.
The Dragon Emperor could release Law for this little girl to experience firsthand.
She had an incredibly strong Talent, plus incredibly strong Cultivation conditions.
Yet this little girl hadn’t grasped Law at all.
There was only one reason...
Having always lived among the peaceful Dragon Clan, this little girl was simply too lazy.
She’d completely wasted her Talent!
And he suspected that the Dragon Emperor had sent this little girl out with him...
For another reason as well.
To make this little girl understand.
That there were still existences in this world that could threaten her; she couldn’t just laze around enjoying life forever.
Right at that moment—
The Demon Clan entity that had just descended into the valley below had already locked its gaze onto him and Isabelle.
In its mind, these two beings radiating rich Life Aura...
Were the perfect food!
What’s more, as a Monarch Level existence, it was an absolute powerhouse in any world.
Could it really have encountered an existence of the same Level the instant it entered this world?
It didn’t believe it!
So it didn’t even bother to sense the auras of the two in the sky, and simply charged straight at them.
"Roar—!"
"Fresh flesh and blood! Become the first sustenance to welcome my descent into this realm!"
Seeing this, Aster’s expression remained calm.
He only gave the eager little Dragon Maiden beside him a sidelong glance.
"He’s yours. Let me see the strength of a Dragon Clan Princess."
"Got it! Watch me!"
At his words, not only did Isabelle show no fear, her eyes instead burst with a strong light of excitement.
On Dragon Island, thanks to her noble Identity, no one had ever dared go all out against her.
But this time, it was a real battle!
With a sharp cry, golden light erupted around her as she instantly revealed her massive true form as The Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.
Then, wreathed in majestic dragon might, she charged at that Demon Clan entity without the slightest fear!
"Boom!"
Golden light and Demonic Qi collided violently, making the earth shake and mountains tremble!
However, this was clearly Isabelle’s first real fight, and she was severely lacking in experience.
Her attacks had no variation, relying entirely on instinct and brute strength.
Meanwhile, that Demon Clan entity, though its Attributes might be slightly inferior, had extremely rich combat experience.
With bizarre movement and tricky attack angles, it kept leaving shallow marks on Isabelle’s gorgeous dragon body.
They weren’t fatal, but they made Isabelle look rather bedraggled.
Aster floated in midair, calmly observing the battle, with no intention of intervening.
He understood: this was exactly the kind of tempering the Dragon Emperor wanted.
Only in real combat could one grow the fastest.
When the Demon Clan found an opening, gathering all its strength into one strike as it grinned viciously and tried to drive its claws into Isabelle’s relatively vulnerable dragon belly, Aster’s eyes sharpened.
"Sally."
He didn’t need to say more; the little catgirl quietly resting on his shoulder instantly understood.
In her pale golden eyes, ripples of time flowed as she lightly raised a paw and pressed it through the air toward the Demon Clan entity.
"Time Slowdown!"
In that instant, the Demon Clan’s supposedly guaranteed killing blow slowed by several times, becoming like a slow-motion replay.
This sudden change gave Isabelle a chance to catch her breath; she twisted her dragon body in frightful fashion, barely avoiding the vital point.
Still shaken, she cast a glance toward Aster and Sally, a flash of lingering fear in her eyes, but it was quickly overtaken by an even stronger fighting spirit.
Once, twice, three times...
With Aster’s timely assistance, Isabelle repeatedly escaped from deadly danger.
She began subconsciously mimicking the Demon Clan’s evasive movements, learning to predict her opponent’s intentions.
Her astonishing combat Talent, under the pressure of life-and-death battle, was rapidly being awakened.
"Roar—!"
At last, Isabelle let out a heaven-shaking dragon roar, seizing the moment when the Demon Clan’s old strength was spent and new strength had yet to rise.
Gathering all her Power into a single Dragon Emperor Sky-splitting Claw, she precisely shattered the Demon Clan’s skull!
The massive demonic body crashed to the ground, then dispersed into pure Demonic Qi and faded away.
With a flash of golden light, Isabelle reverted to human form.
Her small face was flushed both from excitement and exhaustion as she flew excitedly up to Aster, tilting her little face up with a "hurry up and praise me" expression.
"Well? Aster! I’m awesome, right? Monarch Tier One and I took down a Monarch Tier Nine!"
Seeing her look so full of accomplishment, Aster couldn’t help smiling inwardly.
Back when Lazuli was at Monarch Tier One, she’d already been able to solo a Totem-level Demon Clan foe.
However, for Isabelle—someone fighting for the first time, who’d always been lazy before—this really was a huge step forward.
He pushed down the urge to puncture her pride, nodded, and spoke in an encouraging tone:
"Mm. Not bad at all, you improved very quickly."
Receiving his approval, the little Dragon Maiden beamed with joy.
