Chapter 281 - 275: Grau Takes Action
“The school’s punishment decision has been announced!”
Seeing David Jones succeed in making a breakthrough in Pharmacy, Audrey Harvey smiled and shared another piece of news.
“Audrey, what’s the verdict?” David Jones asked curiously.
“According to school rules, the Lava Turtle, who attacked a student, needs to be stripped of its Guardian status and subjected to a hundred years of confinement. However, given that you are the best among the newcomers, the school has increased the penalty to five hundred years.”
At these words, David Jones’s expression changed slightly.
What did five hundred years mean?
Although it was a myth, in his previous life, even the ‘Monkey King’ was only suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years.
Even on Blue Star, five hundred years was enough to exhaust the life span of an Epic Trainer. Such punishment could not be said to be light.
To free the Lava Turtle from such prolonged suffering, David Jones decided to try his best to reach the Epic level before he turned thirty.
It should be noted that in the historical records of the Neolithic period, legendary figures like the Origin Emperor managed to reach the Epic level before they turned thirty. They even worked with the Immortal Azure Dragon to expel the Infernal Dragon that laid waste to the nation and led the first battle against the Beasts. Eventually, they swept across seven nations and became the top Trainers, closest to Immortality, of their time.
Since he possessed the second Innate Talent in the history of Blue Star, David Jones figured that his future as a Trainer would be no less remarkable than the Origin Emperor’s.
Seeing the satisfied expression on David Jones’s face, Audrey furrowed her brows slightly, but didn’t immediately reveal the school leaders’ intentions.
Unlike other Overlord Guardians, the Lava Turtle was notorious for living a lavish lifestyle. While five hundred years of suppression might sound terrifying, it isn’t indeed a severe punishment for it.
“Now that you can make Star-Arcane Elixirs, you could try crafting the Fire Resist Elixir.”
Having casually mentioned the punishment of the Lava Turtle, Audrey shifted the topic back to Pharmacy.
At these words, David Jones’s heart lifted.
Elixir formulas on Blue Star were extremely precious. If he could master the crafting process for the elite trio, perhaps he could quickly accumulate enough Points to exchange for the Pure Flames technique.
Looking at the innate flame burning in her palm, Audrey smiled. A gleam of curiosity flashed across her eyes.
Compared to the Fire Resist Elixir’s weak effects, the eyes of the seven-time Overlord, the Lava Turtle, were more suitable for crafting into a precious Fire-Resist Bead that could weaken the burning effects of Star Fire.
If they had a Fire-Resist Bead and the effect of the Star-Condensing Elixir, David wasn’t likely to suffer from Starfire Burning before his Epic level breakthrough.
With this thought flashing through her mind, Audrey put the ingredients into the elixir furnace and began to demonstrate how to craft the Fire Resist Elixir step by step.
Meanwhile, David Jones was fully concentrating, using his Illusion-Piercing Eye to ensure he dosen’t miss every detail of the elixir crafting process.
Time flew by quickly, and it was soon nightfall.
At this time, on Mountain Blacksmoke, a place notorious for its perpetual poisonous fumes, a massive dragon was meticulously crafting elixirs.
If one hadn’t seen it with one’s own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that a colossal dragon could perform such delicate operations.
“Another perfect Dark Poison Pill. Grau is truly flawless!”
Holding a poison pill that emitted lethal gas and was roughly the size of a basketball, Grau the Mysterious Dragon admired his work before leisurely throwing it into his mouth, a satisfied expression on his face.
Just then, a ringtone sounded, and Grau the Mysterious Dragon scratched his head, pulling out a brand-new phone from somewhere on his body.
“Audrey?”
Grau the Mysterious Dragon looked at the name displayed on the phone screen and his lava-like red pupils flashed with confusion.
“What does she want with Grau? Does she want to exchange treasures?”
After answering the phone, Grau spoke nonchalantly.
“Junior Brother Grau, a disciple recently accepted by our teacher has been bullied by an old turtle,” Audrey Harvey recounted succinctly.
She knew how much Grau, who had been brought up by Miss Hoyle since childhood and saw her as his only family, valued the faction that the teacher cared about.
Perhaps even Grau himself hadn’t noticed. Although he liked to bully the new disciples, he would never allow outsiders to bully those disciples of his teacher’s.
Had it not been for her own influence being too significant, Audrey might not have resorted to involving Grau the Mysterious Dragon.
Upon hearing this, Grau’s dragon eyes narrowed, an inexplicable anger surged from his heart.
Could the disciple Sister Audrey was talking about be the rather pleasing David Jones?
“Which old turtle dares to raise its claw?”
Hearing Grau’s ice-cold tone, Audrey replied solemnly, “The Lava Turtle from the Ghost Island Volcano Dungeon.”
“What does Grau need to do?”
Grau glanced at the poison grass he had been preparing for a long time.
Audrey said, “The school’s specific punishment has come down. In principle, we shouldn’t take further action, but as for…”
Hearing this, Grau, feeling annoyed in his heart, couldn’t help but spit a stream of poisonous fire, interrupting, “No need to explain so much. Grau doesn’t understand at all. Grau now just wants to get rid of that old turtle!”
Hearing the rumbling voice coming from her phone, Audrey twitched the corners of her mouth.
As expected, Junior Brother Grau still loved to get his way through brute force just as he always did.
“No need to kill it. Just take out the eyes of that blind old turtle. And remember to make it keep quiet about everything related to junior brother. This can serve as a warning to the other factions,” Audrey specially instructed.
“Grau understands!”
Looking at the hung-up phone in her hand, Audrey shook her head helplessly.
Had it not been for the teacher currently in retreat, and she was the only one in control of the authority, plus the junior brother wanted to solve this himself, she could have taken action first and asked for forgiveness later, and could have taken off the head of the Lava Turtle that very night.
“What a pity.” She muttered while looking at the moon outside the window.
Ghost Island Volcano Dungeon.
The Lava Turtle looked despairingly at its own claws.
At the last moment, it managed to trace the path of the Power of Destiny, but it could never touch the elusive force of command, let alone fuse it!
“Am I really destined not to? By my ability, I can’t regain the glory of the old ancestor?”
At this moment, the Lava Turtle, who had lost its lifelong goal, suddenly seemed much older. It repeatedly asked the question in its mouth, seeming unable to accept the reality.
“Boom!”
At this moment, an unusual rumble came from the often quiet Ghost Island Volcano Dungeon.
The Lava Turtle looked up only to see a strange-colored, arrogant dragon breaking into the dungeon, recklessly releasing its earth-shattering Overlord Domination.
“As expected, Lilith Hoyle’s side will not let it go as it is!”
Looking at the terrifying dragon that descended from the sky, a bitter smile appeared on the Lava Turtle’s face.
“It’s you, this old turtle, isn’t it!”
Having successfully found the target, a hint of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of Grau the Mysterious Dragon, as an utterly one-sided battle of the overlords was officially ignited..
