YM778.TV Chapter 1124 Morningstar Clan Expedition!
Heck, if there were so many monsters here and now when the realm was on its last legs, then the Divine Realm must have been chok full of them during its peak. He wouldn\'t be surprised to learn that the True Gods of back then suffered from many beast tides.
Draco didn\'t stop all this while and continued to charge forward. The endless plains and forests came to an end as he reached the boundary of the Grey Rot\'s influence in this direction.
It was actually quite jarring because the boundary was very sharp. On one side, there was lush plains and grass, on the other was a wasteland with blackened earth that was seeping with a light grey mist.
Draco looked around and saw that the line of the Grey Rot extended as far as the eye could see in either direction. There was nothing like going around it, one could only go directly through it or stay where they were.
Draco frowned and then cloaked himself with Destruction Energy from his bloodline. At least he didn\'t have to worry about Divine Points or Divine Energy when using the infinite Bloodline Energy.
He then tore through the Grey Rots\' sphere of influence and charged through. He could see the mist hungrily pouncing towards him after acting like it was inanimate to lure him in, but it screamed as it was \'burned\' by the Destruction Energy.
Draco\'s face became solemn as he saw the barrier around him reacting like boiling hot oil meeting water, sizzling and sputtering. The Grey Rot around him still continued to surge over, believing it could suppress him to death while he continually churned out Destruction Energy.
Both forces believed their energy to be infinite, but only one of them was correct in that assumption. As long as the Grey Rot\'s source was alive and well, it could continually be replenished, but this area was immensely far from its source.
By the time it was replenished, its density would have been expired by Draco\'s Destruction Energy. The fellow didn\'t stand in one place and flew around while assessing the area.
He was looking for something in particular. On the Main Plane, there weren\'t just Field Zones where players could hunt wild monsters. There were also Dungeons where players could grind in various ways.
So what was the equivalent of Dungeons in the Divine Realm? It obviously could not be the Divine Trial as that was a special event, almost like a unique Quest of sorts.
Eventually, Draco stopped like a torrent and then looked down, a smile appearing on his face.
\'Found it!\'
......
Meanwhile, back on the Main Plane…
Eva was casually seated on the back of Luxia as the Light Phoenix hovered close to the ground. As her mind was connected to the other two members of the Evil Trio, they were exchanging thoughts and information in real time. Nevertheless, the majority of her focus remained on the battlefield down below.
Currently, the Morningstar Clan was out on a training exercise. Regardless of whether it was the former human maids, the Goddess Descendants or the rest of the Four Beaties, everyone was present. Even the children were accompanying their mothers, though only to watch under the protection of Clarent and Qiong Qi who looked quite bored.
Many of the children were climbing all over Qiong Qi and Clarent\'s bodies, pulling at their scales, tugging horns, scratching fur and tussling manes. The two fellows were thoroughly unhappy with this sort of treatment, yet they dared not show it.
Rather, they grumbled beneath their breath the whole time.
"Imagine, a whole Dragon King like me turned into a babysitter! How rude, uncouth and cruel to my illustrious bearing!" Clarent complained with harrumph.
"Tsk, Draco sure is a freak. Look at the sheer number of brats he has sired, doesn\'t he feel ashamed? What can these little wayward things achieve in life compared to a great lion like me?" Qiong Qi commented as he manifested a claw above one of the child heads, wondering whether he should cut down Draco\'s future troubles.
Immediately waves of intense killing intent poured in, pure enough that they warped Space itself as they landed on Qiong Qi and Clarent, making them tremble. The concubines of Draco were glancing over coldly, having sensed a malicious intent towards their progeny.
Qiong Qi quickly retracted his claw and whistled to the sky while patting the kids with a loving expression. Clarent had already found a nursemother\'s bonnet and was reading bedtime stories to the children with a benevolent expression.
It was only after glaring at them for a while that the various women took back their glares and the two idiots wiped sweat from their brows.
Whew, that was close! How scary are these mothers? How does Draco deal with them on the usual?
As for Hikari, Roma and Zaine, they were at the forefront of the battle with Loki, Rosella and Kuro with them. Shiro was still too young and was only yet learning how to walk, so she was unable to take part in this family activity.
Whether it was Hikari, Roma or Zaine, they were at Rank 6 now. As such, the foes that the group was collectively facing was naturally a Rank 7 World Boss!
｢Name: The Golden Ram – General Rank monster (World Boss)
Level: 400
HP: 1,892,848,970,443,913/11,000,000,000,000,000｣
It was a gigantic sheep that had sparkling golden wool that was styled beautifully, with two curved horns that looked exquisite and thick legs that were hooved. Despite its visual beauty, its power and ferocity were no joke as its bloodshot eye showed hatred for all living things.
Everyday! Everyday! Everyday!!!
All the living beings of the world chased after it since it was young in order to sheer its wool, cut its hooves and pluck its horns for their own greedy purposes! It had lived a life of suffering and fear as it slowly accumulated power until today, where it had its own territory that even the most powerful beings didn\'t dare enter.
Now, these humanoid females of different races had invaded its home and were besieging it. The worst part was that it had lost more than 80% of its HP already and was in its final phase! Alas, the odds were still against it, and if it didn\'t find a way to stage a comeback, it would die here!
Filled with unwillingness, it roared and stomped the earth, causing a shockwave of occur that spread along the ground. This had little to no effect on the group as they were covered by Hikari\'s White Barrier.
｢White Barrier – Active skill
Effect: Create a defensive barrier that reduces all forms of damage by 100% and restores 70% of that damage as health to the target of this skill. Can cover up to 15 targets at Rank 6.
Duration: 30 seconds.
Cooldown: 5 seconds.｣
With something as nonsensical and broken as the White Barrier protecting them, nothing the Golden Ram had done worked. It had hit, it had smashed, it had used all sorts of one-hit KO death skills belonging to a proud World Boss, but those bloody white barriers only rippled at best.
It simply did not have the right nor capital to break through a White Dragon skill, otherwise Black and White Dragons would not have been so revered - even among the arrogant Dragon race - nor would the whole ass universe literally limit how many of them could be in existence at one time.
Roma by the side smiled as she chanted a few words. A few hands sprung from the ground, bursting from the earth to reveal reliably good looking corpses of gypsies long past; the witch slaves!
As Roma had largely retired from directly fighting, she didn\'t use them much anymore. However, she occasionally called them forth in the Morningstar World and, due to the rich and limitless energy there, they had been nourished far better than they ever could have hoped to be.
As such, for the over 50 Witch Slaves, each of them was only slightly weaker than Roma at best. They could cast any form of Mystic Spell except the Witch Slaves summoning spell as that was limited to the Witch Queen\'s bloodline, which meant Vadoma and Roma as well as Rosella.
The best part was that they didn\'t have to source their energy for Roma, they used prana. Prana was just Worldly Energy that was infused with Mystic Intent, so they basically used raw ambient Worldly Energy like most magic classes.
So one could see hundreds of black flame spells, Mystic Arrows, Sinister Shots and Evil Beast Summons being fired out towards the Golden Ram every second. It could only bleat with rage at the constant flurry of pain, but this was just the tip of the iceberg.
Fighting on the very frontline of the battle was Zaine in her half succubus form. Her nails were outstretched into claws, her horns were out and her bat like wings flapped behind her even as her heart shaped tail tossed about.
Despite having countless CC nukes in her arsenal, Zaine continued to act as a melee DPS for some weird reason no one but herself could understand. Granted, with the abilities of her Succubus Claw that Draco crafted for her, she was able to make the most of her odd desire.
｢Succubi\'s Claw – Gauntlets (2)
Rank: Legendary
Durability: 1,000,000/1,000,000
Effects:
Passive 1 – Swiftness: When wearing this item, the user\'s attack speed is increased by 350% when attacking unarmed.
Passive 2 – Rip and Tear: The claws of this item offer an extra 800% damage increase and a 80% chance to deal fatal damage to any point of a foe.
Active 1 – Fury Swipes: After activating this skill, the user attacks a single target rapidly and ferociously, dealing automatic fatal damage to any foe per swipe. Cooldown: 30 seconds.
Description: An item made by a seasoned Semi-God for his succubus wife\'s enjoyment, these gauntlets have yet to make any resounding legends in the world.｣
As one could imagine, with the help of Fury Swipes the Golden Ram had been scratched like a doll that belonged to a rather ferocious cat. Many parts of its pristine golden wool were torn apart and lying on the ground, its skin bleeding from the egregious wounds.
What was even worse was the skill Zaine used which she had gained after Ranking up to Rank 4 back then.
｢Psi-Clone – Active Skill
Effect: Summon a clone of yourself made of Psychic Energy that possesses 50% of your total power and can fight in tandem with you during combat. It is invulnerable to all but mental damage during its lifetime.
Duration: 4 minutes
Cooldown: 7 minutes.｣
Due to the clone\'s special nature, it was not able to be damaged by physical or elemental attacks, only mental ones. And uh, if you hadn\'t noticed by now, the Golden Ram was not exactly well endowed mentally, at least, not in that sense.
As such, it had to deal with not only the confusion brought by two perfectly stable Zaines flying around while unleashing brutal claw attacks, it also had to deal with the fact that it couldn\'t actually get rid of the clone!
All of this was seen by Eva who floated above the group and she couldn\'t help but nod her head in satisfaction, the weeks she had spent training the three NPC beauties had proven itself in their combat capability.
Unfortunately, the others were struggling, especially the Goddess Descendants who had never had to fight in their lives and had lived as crafters. Still, they were at least handling the situation better the human maids who had been servants before entering this clan.
Sigh, Eva had a lot of work ahead of her.
