Chapter 587: 581: Lolo's Goal
A splendid long rainbow tore through the thunderclouds, signifying the materialization of the destructive thunder, which had finally been brewing to completion.
An unparalleled domination descended upon the world, a terrifying strike capable of completely annihilating the flesh of a Class VII Overlord Beast and also a great calamity that countless Beasts would change color at the mention of.
Even the Gluttonous Beast, immersed in how to grow stronger, was pleasantly surprised by this terrifying thunder and rushed over to David Jones’s side with its companions.
“Don’t worry, I am very strong now.”
Seeing the worried looks on the faces of the little ones around him, David Jones shook his head slightly, indicating there was no need for concern.
Immediately after, David Jones exerted all his strength to operate the Tigrex Dossier, and amidst the intense light, his body started to grow taller and more robust, shooting up from 1.8 meters to 3 meters in height.
Once the light faded, David Jones’s entire body was covered in a layer of faint golden Dragon Scales that seemed to shimmer in and out of existence.
Atop his head, two noble and domineering silver Dragon Horns materialized, altering his aura dramatically, giving him a mysterious and majestic presence that commanded utmost respect and reverence.
This was the half-dragon trait David Jones could possess after his Tigrex Body achieved a breakthrough to the fourth level of the Tigrex Dossier.
Despite the Dragon Horns and Dragon Armor appearing somewhat ethereal and dazzling, they provided David Jones with an indestructible, almost Vajra-like defense, and even a formidable power that could rival a King Giant Dragon.
Were he to combine this with the legendary arcane implement Nine Dragons Purple Gold Armor, David Jones was confident enough to contend with a Class VII Overlord Beast.
Unfortunately, to absorb the immense force of Creation, one needed to endure the Five Elements Annihilation Thunder Tribulation directly with their body. Otherwise, the thunderbolt wouldn’t have had its power reduced by ninety percent by the Creature egg, but rather have achieved complete Annihilation.
Therefore, to absorb the force of Creation and establish the strongest foundation at the King level, David Jones couldn’t rely on the Nine Dragons Purple Gold Armor during this tribulation. What he could rely on were his painstakingly cultivated body and the power of his Contract partners.
The sudden transformation into a dragon form caused Rainbow and the others to pause slightly, their gazes beginning to undergo subtle changes.
It was well-known that the aesthetic preferences of Humans and Dragons were almost entirely different. In Flowery Kingdom, besides a very small number of Trainers with unique tastes, it was extremely rare to find Trainers who dared to go against the taboo and marry their Pet beasts.
The marriage partners that were publicized and accepted by a portion of Trainers were mostly humanoid Beasts such as sprite girls, fox girls, cat girls, leopard girls, and dragon girls, who were almost similar to the Human race in appearance.
Because humanoid Beasts shared similar mate-selection views with humans, it was common for them to develop feelings of admiration for Trainers over time through prolonged association.
Every year, the Flowery Kingdom’s news would erupt with several scandalous stories of romance and strife between Trainers and humanoid Beasts.
Among them, Dragon girls, who were held in the highest esteem and possessed greater strength and intelligence than humans, were virtually as if they had stepped out of a mythological novel. They were the dream Contract pets for some Trainers.
But just as humans would not submit to ants, noble and powerful Dragon girls would not give heed to weak Trainers. The thought of forming a Contract was even more far-fetched.
Only Trainers who reached Class VIII and underwent a transformation in the essence of their lives into Legends could compel Dragon girls to acknowledge them and regard them as equal rivals or companions.
Therefore, before David Jones’s transformation, Rainbow and its peers didn’t see him as a puny ant like ordinary Dragon Pets did, but they also couldn’t appreciate David Jones’s charm due to differing aesthetic standards.
They only felt affinity due to the Trainer’s Dragon-Wielding force, finding David Jones very approachable.
However, after David Jones’s transformation, since Rainbow and the others were still young, they instinctively thought David Jones had suddenly become more attractive, so much so that the Dragons couldn’t help but want to get even closer.
Only Lolo, who had likely lived for about a thousand years, felt something different.
At this moment, its little face blushed as it looked at the Trainer who had carefully cared for and fattened it, feeling its heartbeat quicken.
“Chirp!” (〃’▽’〃) (So handsome!)
Lolo couldn’t help but marvel.
Having spent thousands of years in the dungeon, cut off from the world, Lolo could be described as a recluse.
It didn’t understand friendship or love, but it knew exactly what it wanted the most at this moment!
All it desired was to be by David Jones’ side for a lifetime, even if it meant just handing him a cup of water each day. That would be enough!
Ever since they met, Lolo’s goal had never changed.
Thinking this, Lolo swiftly produced a specially-made spiritual water with a practiced sleight of hand, so deft that David Jones couldn’t see clearly.
“Chirp!” (*Here’s a cup!*)
Lolo eagerly handed the cup to David Jones, its slightly chubby face beaming with excitement.
“Thank you for your effort, I’ll drink it after I’ve survived the Thunder Tribulation!”
Feeling the charged atmosphere above his head, posing a strong threat as if lightning could strike at any moment, David Jones patted Lolo’s head. He clenched his right fist, and blood mixed with Arcane Force coursed violently through his veins, producing a sound like dragons and tigers in conflict.
“Eek!” (Be careful!)
As soon as Rainbow uttered its warning, the thunderclouds in the sky roared ominously.
Like the end of the world, a terrifying pillar of lightning descended from the sky. With each flash, the space around where David Jones stood was locked and frozen by a horrifying presence.
“Shocking Blood Dragon!”
David Jones roared, invoking the fourth-level ability of the Tigrex Dossier, fusing the robust blood within him with a power comparable to that of the Dragon race, transforming it into countless golden dragon-shaped streams of energy.
He charged towards the falling lightning, throwing a punch like a king descending from the heavens to confront the dreadful thunder summoned by the thunderous colossal eyes.
“Boom!”
Even though the majority of the Thunder Tribulation’s force had been weakened by the divine egg, the first collision between David Jones’ fist and the lightning still caused his entire body to go numb, his bones to tremble, and he spewed out blood, drenching himself in it.
David Jones’ eyes revealed a hint of surprise; he hadn’t expected his body, as strong as a King level Giant Dragon, to be so frail in the face of the Five Elements Annihilation Thunder Tribulation.
The sensation of tearing and burning from the lightning strike made David Jones’ right arm cave in slightly, and blood splattered everywhere.
“Without having stepped into Class VI, relying solely on a King level flesh body is indeed insufficient?”
Seeing that the first strike of the Colorful Tribulation had almost crushed David Jones’ body, the divine egg sighed.
The first Colorful Tribulation was a physical lightning, less challenging. If David Jones couldn’t withstand even this, then the subsequent material and psychic-interfering lightning of sensation, emotion, thought, action, and consciousness would be impossible for him to endure.
“If you wish to give up, you can say so at any time,” the divine egg’s voice suddenly sounded in David Jones’ mind.
“Give up? Impossible!” David Jones’ gaze sharpened as he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Even now, with broken bones and covered in blood, his strength greatly diminished, his spirit under the suppression of the Green Spirit Realm was as fiery as ever, even boiling more fiercely.
He wasn’t just a Body Cultivator; he was a Trainer with companions to rely on.
Having not even utilized his Contract Pet, how could he admit defeat to the Five Elements Annihilation Thunder Tribulation?!!
