Soon, Leo and all his beasts cleared out the Blood Wolves.
'Everyone, let's take some rest.'
Leo and his beasts decided to rest for a while before continuing their journey deeper into the Blood Valley.
Leo was not tired much because he was mostly giving orders and using his contracted skills every now and then; however, it was not the same for his contracted beasts and pets.
First, they struggled a lot while fighting the Blood Wolf King that transformed into a Giant Blood Wolf and later, they fought with nearly 150 blood wolves and four purple-grade Blood Wolf Kings.
'If not for the Thunder Bear's quick killing of two Blood Wolf Kings, it would have been a little harder to deal with the four Blood Wolf Kings.'
Earlier, just one Blood Wolf King was enough to nearly make Leo use his trump cards and the four Blood Wolf Kings also used the [Blood Transformation State], Leo needed to use his trump cards to escape from them.
The reason why Leo ordered the Merged Thunder Bear to instantly kill the Blood Wolf Kings in a single attack was that he was worried about the [Blood Transformation State].
As far as he noticed, if a Blood Wolf King was heavily injured and covered in blood, it could use that [Blood Transformation State].
Moreover, after seeing the death of the two Blood Wolf Kings in a single attack, the remaining two Blood Wolf Kings lost their will to fight and fought to escape which made it even easier for Leo to kill them.
'Anyway, it's time to check my gains.'
Soon, Leo stopped thinking about the Bloody Massacre and looked at his first contracted beast, the Space Moon Hound.
"Master, I collected a total of 18 Gold Grade Beast Essence Orbs."
The Space Moon Hound was informed about the Beast Essence Orbs that it collected while fighting with the Blood Wolves.
'18? I got three more Essence Orbs than I thought.'
Leo was happy as he hurriedly checked their levels.
Just like the strength of the beasts, the grades of the Beast Essence Orbs were further classified into 10 levels.
….
Level 1 Gold Grade Beast Essence Orbs: 8.
Level 2 Gold Grade Beast Essence Orbs: 6.
Level 3 Gold Grade Beast Essence Orbs: 3.
Level 5 Gold Grade Beast Essence Orb: 1.
….
'There is even a level 5 Beast Essence Orb?'
Leo was surprised and took out the two Level 1 Purple Grade Beast Essence Orbs and smiled non-stop.
In short, the gains from the battle with the Blood Wolves had thoroughly satisfied Leo.
'Currently, I don't have any use for Purple Grade Beast Essence Orbs.'
With a thought, he sent two orbs into his Storage Bracelet and looked at the remaining 18 gold-coloured orbs.
'This Blood Valley is much more dangerous than I expected. So, it is better to use these resources to increase the strength of my beasts.'
Leo didn't bother to store the gold-coloured orbs and decided to give them to his beasts.
'Even though thunder bears could become more powerful by absorbing these orbs, I am sure they might reach level 6 Gold Grade after using all these 18 Gold Grade Beast Essence Orbs.'
Previously, Leo thought that as long as he provided his beasts with the Essence Orbs, their strength would rapidly increase; however, soon, he noticed something.
The more a beast uses these Essence Orbs, the lesser the benefit it was getting. Moreover, almost all the Gold Grade Beast Essence Orbs he had on him were level 1 and 2.
'The most ideal choice will be focusing on a beast that might reach the level 10 Gold Grade. After that, I can help it break through to the Purple Grade and then it could absorb the Purple Grade Essence Orbs to stabilize its strength or even break through to level 2 Purple Grade.'
This is what Leo thought in his head.
Thanks to the [Sibling Merge], Leo could be considered to have a Purple Grade Beast and now, he decided to focus on helping another one of his beasts reach Purple Grade.
'With two Purple Grade Beasts, dozen gold grade beasts along with my talent and contracted skills, my chances of getting the third System Fragment would be more.'
Just thinking of having another Purple Grade Beast under his command made Leo excited.
It's been only four days since Leo awakened his talent and he was planning to make one of his beasts into an official Purple Grade Beast.
With that thought in mind, Leo started checking out his beasts to select the most suitable beast for his purpose.
….
Abyssal Leviathans, level 6 Gold Grade.
Frostwing Dragon, level 6 Gold Grade.
Phoenix Eagle, level 6 Gold Grade.
Fire Devourer Dragon, level 6 Gold Grade.
Celestial Forest Howler, level 8 Gold Grade.
.
.
.
….
Leo looked over and finally, his eyes stopped on the strongest beast according to the rank wise, he had and it was none other than the Celestial Forest Howler.
A few days back, it was only a level 1 Bronze Moon Hound Puppy but with Leo's help, it evolved into a level 3 Silver Grade Forest Moon Hound.
After that, thanks to the [Lucky Evolution's] trigger, the Forest Moon Hound underwent a natural evolution which was much stronger than the evolution that Leo provided.
With the successful completion of the natural evolution, it turned into a Celestial Forest Howler and its strength rose to level 5 Gold Grade but it still has some excess energy from the Natural Evolution.
Thanks to that energy and the fights he had fought in the Blood Valley, quickly increased its strength to level 8 and it was only an inch away from becoming a level 9 Gold Grade Beast.
'Howler, I chose you.'
According to Leo's calculation, one level 1 gold orb is enough for the Celestial Forest Howler to become a level 9 Gold Grade Beast and the remaining 17 orbs would definitely help it become a level 10 Gold Grade Beast.
"Howler, become stronger."
Without thinking much, under the envious looks of all the beasts, Leo gave the 18 Gold Orbs to the Celestial Forest Howler.
