Chapter 146 - 140: Rainbow Advancement
That night.
In the spacious courtyard, Rainbow was shaking her long tail eagerly, watching the High-level Dragon Crystal in David Jones’s hand with anticipation.
Not a bit of her usually aloof and dignified demeanor could be seen!
“Eek!” (“‘v‘”) (I want it!)
“Hold on, I have three dragon crystals here,” David said.
He glanced at Rainbow impatiently, then looked down at Daphne in Lolo’s
arms, and quietly asked,
“The Dragon Crystal has just leveled up, so I think our previous agreement might not be that appropriate. Do you want to change it?”
“Meow!” (A w A) (No need to change!)
Daphne shook her head without hesitation.
Compared to the Dragon Crystal in front of her, she preferred the strengthened version of David’s Dragon-Wielding power.
The moment her little brother decisively refused, Rainbow’s eyes filled with admiration, and she quickly looked at her trainer.
“Eek!” (—V–)~* (Give all the Fire resources I got in Dungeon to Daphne!)
Upon hearing this, David couldn’t help but laugh, patting Rainbow’s warm and moist head with his right hand.
“There’S too much of those Fire resources, Daphne won’t be able to use them all. Rather turn them into other Pet Resources, so everyone can use them.”
“If it really bothers you, those two Redcloud Flowers we got from the Dungeon
are perfect for Daphne.”
“Eek!” (oM?) (Okay!)
Rainbow nodded, but her gaze never left the Dragon Crystal in David’s hand.
“Alright, if you keep staring like this, your eyeballs are going to fall out!” David joked softly, then handed the High-level Dragon Crystal to Rainbow’s mouth.
Seeing the Dragon Crystal right in front of her, a hint of excitement flashed in Rainbow’s eyes, and without hesitation, she swallowed it in one gulp.
A few seconds passed, Rainbow shook her head slightly, and seemed puzzled.
“Eek?” (?<>?)? (Nothing seems to have changed?)
Hearing this, David froze as a hint of hesitation flashed in his expectant gaze.
He had specifically identified this High-level Dragon Crystal himself, so how could there be no effects at all!
It must be that she hasn’t absorbed or digested it yet, just wait a while longer
and it should!
Three minutes later, David and Rainbow were still staring at each other in
perplexity.
“Eek?” (▼ ^ ▼ >) (Did I eat a fake Dragon Crystal?)
She even began to doubt whether what she ate was a Dragon Crystal.
“Impossible!” David firmly stated.
How could the Dragon Crystal he painstakingly strengthened be a fake!
Thought of this, David turned his head to look at Lolo who was full of curiosity, he revealed a slight smile, “Do you want to give it a try?
“Chirp!” (o V)o (Yes!)
Lolo quickly nodded, her green eyes full of anticipation.
David whispered, “Here, open your mouth.”
This time, he planned to feed it himself.
Lolo obediently opened her mouth and slowly swallowed the High-level
Dragon Crystal in David’s hand.
“How’s it feeling?”
David and Rainbow stared at Lolo nervously, wanting an answer as soon as possible.
He simply couldn’t believe that there would be a problem with his identification talent and his Dragon-Wielding talent!
Meanwhile, Daphne in Lolo’s arms soon became bored and lazily yawned.
“Chirp!” (~ (Feels warm and very comfortable!)
Lolo burped contentedly and gave David a thumbs up.
“That’s it?” David Jones furrowed his brows.
“Huh?” Z(° n° ?? (How come I don’t feel anything?)
Rainbow’s eyes widened abruptly.
Then, a strong light burst forth from Lolo’s body, its dazzling brilliance forcing David Jones to shut his eyes tight.
By the time the light faded, David Jones opened his eyes, his face revealing a hint of surprise.
He noticed that Lolo had shrunk in size by more than half. Its original height of about a meter had diminished to approximately 50 cm.
The fluffy white fur on Daphne’s body now completely obscured Lolo; David could only see the deep chestnut roots of its lower half.
“Squeak!” ‘ (~V—)7 (I’ve learned Size Adjustment!)
Lolo exclaimed excitedly.
She had wanted this Dragon skill that allowed her to change her size at will for a long time, but could never seem to learn it.
She never imagined that a high-level Dragon Crystal would realize her dreams. “Indeed, this Dragon Crystal is fine.” David Jones subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief before turning his gaze toward Rainbow.
If this crystal was alright, then the one that had issues was…
“Huh!” (# ‘ fl’)/ (Impossible!)
Staring blankly at Lolo, Rainbow then glanced at herself, continually alternating her gaze between the two, her face filling with disbelief.
With her outstanding Psychic Power, she naturally detected that the High-level Dragon Crystal within her remained inactive.
Was she supposed to spit it out?
Noticing the slight impatience displayed on Rainbow’s face, David Jones softly comforted her: “Don’t worry, take it slow.”
Rainbow subtly nodded, but a touch of determination flashed past her eyes.
She flew into the sky, activated the Size Adjustment skill and her body instantaneously returned to its original large size.
“What happening?” David Jones looked surprised as he gazed up at the elegant Flood Dragon hovering mid-air.
“Huh!” {| L(>o<)J |} (I refuse to believe I can’t digest it!)
With a mighty storm of Arcane Force now bursting forth from Rainbow, the courtyard was filled with gusts and dust.
At this moment, a firm resolution appeared on Rainbow’s face.
If this Dragon Crystal did not merge willingly, she would resort to raw power to forcefully refine it.
Upon mental command, the turbulent Arcane Force surged into the High-level Dragon Crystal within her body like a flood.
At first, under the stimulation of the Arcane Force, the Dragon Crystal remained intact, displaying a stubborn resilience.
However, as time gradually passed, cracks began appearing on the surface of the Dragon Crystal under the continuous impact of the Arcane Force, giving a sign that the crystal was about to shatter.
Just then, Rainbow’s body slightly shuddered involuntarily.
Because the High-Level Dragon Crystal within her had silently shattered at that moment, instantly turning into two streams of mysterious energy. As if sentient, half of them flowed into the Dragon Element in her body, while the other half charged into the Magic Core in her mind.
With this energy of an extremely high grade, she felt her heart palpitate uncontrollably.
The moment this mysterious energy merged, the dazzling hint of an imminent upgrade burst out from Rainbow!
“Is the upgrade starting now?”
David Jones was slightly stunned.
The surprise before his eyes came too quickly, making it feel somewhat unreal. It was just a few days ago that Rainbow’s strength had soared from Class II lower-level to Class II upper-level. And it looked like she was about to break through to Class III tonight.
“This High-level Dragon Crystal is too good to be true!”
David Jones sighed inwardly, shooting a glance at Lolo who was looking anxious next to him.
“Wait, it doesn’t seem that the effect of high-level Dragon Crystal is that good. At least, Lolo’s reaction was quite mild.
Besides gaining a slightly extraordinary Dragon Skill, it seems to have offered no substantial help in advancing the strength of a High-level Pet..”
