Chapter 126 - 120: Divine Dragon Illusion
This Illusion Star Stone not only had a strong attraction to Trainers, but it also posed a great temptation for Beasts.
David Jones and Rainbow just needed to wait patiently here, and the violent fluctuations of the Arcane Force would attract nearby Beasts.
“Two more this time!’1
Rainbow stared at the lobster figures that appeared on the lava stream, her eyes shining with the joy of surprise.
The two Lava Lobsters they had captured before only made her feel half-full. Now there were two more!
This feeling of ingredients being delivered to their doorstep was just too wonderful!
As time slowly passed, more and more Lava Lobsters were hooked, and David’s smile became more intense.
Never mind the chewy taste, just the Class III Magic Core on them could earn thousands of Points.
“Frostfall Breath.”
Looking at the five Lava Lobsters in front of him that were dealt with by Rainbow, David’s brow furrowed slightly.
Something was becoming more and more strange.
It seemed that as the Illusion Star Stone grew, the range of Arcane Force fluctuations became more extensive, and the number of Beasts attracted also increased.
They could handle five this time, but if ten Lava Lobsters appeared next time, David would probably have to run away with the Illusion Star Stone!
Fortunately, the Illusion Star Stone was almost finished maturing, and he estimated that it would only take a few more minutes.
Just as David was pondering, a large amount of lava suddenly erupted from the calm lava stream below.
Amidst the rain of lava, a giant lobster nearly eight meters long suddenly rushed towards the Illusion Star Stone in the sky.
David’s pupils contracted slightly.
“Looking for death!”
This Lava Lobster dared to try to snatch the Illusion Star Stone in front of him.
“Stop it.”
Rainbow immediately used instant teleportation to block the Lava Lobster’s passage.
Leaning forward, Rainbow’s slender, agile tail tightened, then slammed fiercely into the back shell of the lobster.
“Boom!”
The Lava Lobster’s body stiffened, then crashed into the lava stream at an even faster speed, creating a spectacular scene of molten fireworks.
“Hiss!”
This abnormally large Lava Lobster cut through the lava with its blood-red claws, emitting sharp, angry cries.
David stared at the mighty creature before him, his eyes flickering, and activated his Identify skill.
“Pet Name”: Redrock Lobster
“Pet Type”: Fire, Earth
“Species Level”: Elite
“Grade”: Class IVlower-level
“Species Skill”: Redrock Strangling, Lava Body, Magma Ejection, Blazing Strike
Good heavens! Wasn’t it said that there were only five top-grade Class IV Elites in this Trainer Competition?
Why is there another one in this Lava World?
“The organizers are really not reliable!” David couldn’t help but complain.
At this moment, the Big Sun Dragon, coiled up in the sky, slowly opened its eyes, then lightly exclaimed.
“This little guy is really lucky, even encountering a Redrock Lobster that has just advanced.”
Following that, it scratched its head with its powerful claws.
“Should I intervene? This newly advanced Redrock Lobster is not within the scope of the competition’s assessment!”
After pondering for a moment, the Big Sun Dragon ultimately chose to watch silently.
Although it was extremely difficult, the young man who looked exceptionally pleasing to its eyes might just be able to defeat the Redrock Lobster.
“Are you sure about this?”
Gazing at the monstrous lobster in the distance, David Jones’ heart sank.
The deep underground Lava World was already unfriendly to ice-element pets, and with the difference in strength and attribute disadvantages, this battle would likely be difficult.
“I can try.” Rainbow confidently said.
The oppressive aura emanating from the Redrock Lobster was not even half as strong as that of the Four-tailed Crimson Fox.
If it weren’t for the harsh environment they were in, she would even have some confidence in winning the battle.
“Be careful to protect the Illusion Star Stone.” David Jones reminded.
Their goal was not to defeat the Redrock Lobster in front of them.
The hatching of the Illusion Star Stone was at a critical moment, and delaying until the hatching was successful was their ultimate goal.
However, the ill-tempered Redrock Lobster didn’t care for any of that and saw the strange creature in front of it as an obstacle. Its enormous pincers interlocked.
In an instant, the temperature in the Lava World sharply rose, and dozens of lava pillars spewed out from the Lava River like a tsunami.
“Frostfall Breath.”
A proud dragon’s roar sounded, and the endless cold air surrounding Rainbow suddenly surged. The breath in her mouth transformed into a silver-blue column of air, roaring toward the lava pillars.
Boom, boom, boom!!!
The Frostfall Breath violently collided with the lava pillars, producing deafening explosive noises.
First, the piercing cold breath froze the molten rocks it came into contact with, then were melted by the heat of the lava pillars. The two forces mutually consumed each other’s energy, and clouds of steam continuously emerged.
For a moment, the silent underground world was filled with an ubiquitous hot atmosphere.
After a stalemate, the lava pillars ultimately prevailed, thanks to their advantage in the terrain.
Several turbulent lava pillars grazed the Frostfall Breath and rushed aggressively towards Rainbow.
“Swoosh, swoosh!”
Rainbow nimbly flashed through, dodging all the incoming lava pillars. One of the narrowly avoided pillars instantly ignited the edge of David Jones’ right sleeve.
With a flick of her Confusion, the flame on her Trainer’s clothes was snuffed out before it could spread further.
“Hold on a little longer. The Star Stone is almost done hatching!”
Ignoring his own clothes, David Jones glanced at the Illusion Star Stone behind him.
The silver light flowing on its surface became more and more dazzling, and the attraction it emitted grew more and more terrifying.
Even a simple glance gave him the feeling that his soul was being sucked in.
“Don’t worry, I can do it!” Rainbow said through her thoughts.
She wanted to defeat the giant lobster in front of her instead of dragging out the fight.
Just the meat of the Class III lobster was already so delicious, she couldn’t bear to miss out on devouring this Class IV Redrock Lobster.
“Really? Just give me a second, and I can finish it off.”
Rainbow stared at the Redrock Lobster with a serious and battle-ready gaze.
Upon hearing that, David Jones was slightly taken aback.
“Are you planning to use the Dragon Element within your body?”
“That’s right. After your Arcane Star evolved, maintaining activation for one second shouldn’t be a problem.” Rainbow nodded earnestly.
She wouldn’t risk her Trainer’s safety for the sake of good food.
“Alright then.” David Jones smiled.
He also wanted to know how much Rainbow’s combat power could increase after activating the Dragon Element within her body!
The next second, Rainbow’s eyes narrowed slightly, and the white round bead concealed within her body suddenly emitted a brilliant light.
In the blink of an eye, the aura around Rainbow began to soar at an alarming rate, and her originally upper-level Class II strength charged up to Class III.
Under her earth-shattering Dragon Domination, even the red lava world began to darken.
At this moment, Rainbow lifted her head high, and behind her, a terrifying Divine Dragon Illusion with an unfathomable body and overwhelming aura slowly appeared..
