Chapter 448: Chapter 449: Searching for Veridia!
The only thing Aster Grant could think of...
was to have a few of his Beastbond companions gain the world’s recognition.
But the problem was...
the beasts under his command that he had formed a Contract with.
Lazuli, Vera, Veridia, Scarlett, Elara Crimson, Sally...
That already made six contracted beasts.
If he were to Contract the Snow Maiden and Lilith as well...
then he would have even more beasts under his command.
How could there possibly be so many worlds that would allow all his beasts to obtain a Divine Position?
The only place Aster Grant could think of right now was the Angel World.
But the Angel World was definitely most suitable for Lazuli!
As for the other beasts, at most they could obtain one more world in this Alternate Space.
Elsewhere...
there seemed to be nothing!
But he was only at Totem Level now; thinking about this was still far too early.
For the moment, the most important thing was to bring Veridia and Scarlett back!
With that in mind, Aster Grant no longer delayed.
The place Scarlett had gone was the Swarm’s lair.
If not for being able to confirm through the Beast Taming Contract that Scarlett was unharmed right now...
he would have set out to search for her long ago!
And aside from Scarlett, Veridia’s Status at the moment seemed not very good.
Aster Grant could feel that the Contract power between him and Veridia seemed to have weakened somewhat.
This also meant that Veridia must have encountered danger.
"Drake, I’ll leave the Human Race to you. I’m going to bring Veridia back."
Hearing Aster Grant’s decision, Zane Drake did not stop him.
He knew Aster Grant’s character, so he only silently reminded him:
"Be careful in everything."
Aster Grant nodded.
Then he turned his head to look at Iris Ashford and Isabelle.
"Two seniors, I’ll have to trouble you to watch over the Human Race."
Isabelle and Iris Ashford didn’t say much, only silently nodded.
After giving a few more instructions, Aster Grant immediately rushed toward the Ghost Race.
....
At this moment, the Ghost Race...
had already been surrounded by the Demon Clan.
Though the people of the Ghost Race had already migrated to the Human Race...
Shade, worried for the safety of his two granddaughters, had decided to stay and personally guard The Forbidden Land of the Ghost Race.
And after sending the Ghost Race clansmen to the Human Race, Azure had also unhesitatingly chosen to return to the Ghost Race to guard The Forbidden Land.
If the exit of The Forbidden Land was destroyed, Veridia might be forever lost within it.
At this moment.
The former land of the Ghost Race was now shrouded in boundless Demonic Qi.
The once silent sky was, at this moment, filled with densely packed Demon Clan figures of all shapes and forms.
The filthy Demonic Qi was like heavy dark clouds, pressing down so hard it made one unable to breathe.
And at the center of these looming Demon Shadows...
two figures stood as unshakable as bedrock.
Clan Leader Shade of the Ghost Race, and Azure!
Shade’s aged face was full of gravity, pure Ghost Qi surging around him as his Totem-level pressure burst forth without restraint.
Azure’s expression was equally solemn, Ghost Qi roiling unceasingly around him.
And behind them was the entrance to The Forbidden Land of the Ghost Race!
Even faced with masses of the Demon Clan, there was not the slightest trace of fear on their faces.
"Jie jie jie... Two Ghost Race at Totem Initial Tier, and you dare block this lord?"
At the front of the Demon Clan ranks, a tall Demon Clan figure let out a harsh, sinister laugh.
Its aura had clearly reached the Peak of the Totem Ninth Tier!
He was also one of Demon God Valley’s trusted subordinates...
Krane!
"Lord Krane, what are you wasting words on with these two pieces of trash for? Just crush them and smash this place apart!"
General Krane’s blood-red eyes swept over Shade and Azure:
"This lord will give you a chance—step aside obediently and submit to the Demon Clan!"
But Azure and Shade did not respond; madness-fueled battle intent flashed in their eyes.
The Ghost Race swore to die rather than surrender!
Seeing them like this, Krane understood their choice.
"Stubborn fools! Then... go die!"
He lost his patience, the power of a Totem Ninth Tier erupting fully.
A pitch-black beam of light, condensed from Demonic Qi, shot straight toward Shade and Azure!
Wherever it passed, space rippled, and the ground below was instantly scorched black!
"Ghost Clan Fourth Style·Star Shattering!"
"Ghost Clan Fourth Style·Star Shattering!"
Shade and Azure shouted in unison, striking with all their might!
Even knowing they were no match for a Totem Ninth Tier, the two did not retreat in the slightest.
"Boom——!!!"
The three forces collided violently! The Energy storm from the explosion swept out, directly tearing apart some Low-level Demon Clan too close by!
However, the difference in strength was far too great!
The combined strike of Shade and Azure held for less than a breath before being crushed to pieces by that pitch-black pillar of demonic light, like dry rot swept aside!
"Pff——!"
"Ugh—ah!"
Shade and Azure were struck as if by a heavy hammer, simultaneously spitting a mouthful of blood as their bodies were sent flying backward, slamming heavily into the entrance of The Forbidden Land behind them before barely managing to steady themselves.
Their auras instantly withered by more than half, the blood draining from their faces.
If not for the Ghost Race’s tough bodies, the two of them might have died outright from that single blow.
"Not even worth a single blow!"
A trace of disdain appeared on Krane’s face.
Totem Tier One wanting to block him was simply idiotic.
His gaze then fell upon The Forbidden Land of the Ghost Race behind them.
As long as he destroyed this place, he could link the Alternate Space and the Ghost World together.
By then, the Demon Clan in the Ghost World would be able to enter the Alternate Space.
Lord Abel just happened to be short on manpower right now...
Perfect!
However, at this moment, two figures again stepped in front of The Forbidden Land.
Even though the two were heavily wounded, there was still not the slightest hint of submission in their eyes.
If this Demon Clan member destroyed The Forbidden Land, Veridia might never be able to leave it.
Thus, even if it cost them their lives, they had to stop this Demon Clan.
To Krane, though, Shade and Azure’s struggle was laughable.
"Since that’s the case, I’ll send you to Hell!"
He brought his claws together, gathering an even more terrifying Demonic Qi.
Gradually, it formed into a spinning, dark sphere that seemed able to devour all light!
The Destruction Energy contained within made both of them feel the breath of death!
"Hum——!"
Just then.
An invisible soul pressure suddenly descended over this stretch of heaven and earth!
Immediately after, a voice clearly echoed in everyone’s ears:
"Who’s going to Hell?"
The voice wasn’t loud, yet it made all the Demon Clan freeze in place!
General Krane’s motion of gathering Demonic Qi abruptly halted, his scarlet pupils contracting as he lifted his head in shock toward the source of the pressure!
High above, at some unknown point, a figure both illusory and solid had appeared.
It was Aster Grant, who had crossed The Void and arrived just in time!
A few beasts hovered at his side, their auras in no way weaker than that of a Totem Ninth Tier.
"A... Aster Grant?!"
Shade and Azure stared at that figure in disbelief!
Hadn’t they received news that Aster Grant was dead?
How was he suddenly appearing here now?!
Aster Grant’s gaze swept over the wounded Shade and Azure, then finally settled on the on-guard General Krane, his eyes turning instantly icy cold.
"Lazuli, do it!"
Hearing Aster Grant’s command, a dense killing intent surfaced in Lazuli’s eyes.
Ever since Aster Grant had fallen once at the hands of a Demon God, Lazuli held only the purest killing intent toward this Race.
This killing intent manifested most directly in the Destruction Law she wielded.
