After finding a thick forest, Leo no longer bothered to run away as he knew it would be a waste of time.
Moreover, with the help of the forest, his contracted beast, the Celestial Forest Howler could have an unlimited supply of vitality and could be considered invisible unless it was killed in a single strike.
'Kacha'
After absorbing the two high-level Diamond Grade Tamer's Essence Orbs, one of his three Diamond Grade Tamer's Space broke through from level 5 to level 6.
'The three times increment due to the effect [Special Beast Tamer] has become quite a disadvantage for me now.'
Leo bitterly smiled as he took out a bunch of high-level Diamond Grade Tamer's Essence Orbs and continued to absorb the energy.
While absorbing, Leo was also keeping an eye on the Celestial Forest Howler in one of his Tamer's Spaces which had already broken through three levels and became a level 4 Purple Grade Beast.
Even though it seemed fast, in Leo's view, it was still a little slow.
Nevertheless, he didn't pressure the Celestial Forest Howler as he decided to use God Energy on it when the Temple Elders and the Temple Masters caught up to them.
At the same time, in the other beast slots, the two armoured thunder bears were also absorbing the Purple Grade Beast Essence Orbs.
Although the compatibility between the two bear siblings was yet to reach 100, it was close and Leo was expecting to see a miracle when it reached 100.
Moreover, even without that, they can merge into a Giant Thunder Bear with a strength of level 1 Diamond Grade their current strength.
However, Leo was also planning to upgrade their strength to level 1 Diamond Grade Beasts and after merging into a Giant Thunder Bear, they could reach level 8 Diamond Grade Beast.
Also, Leo didn't neglect his other beasts as he gave them lots of Gold Grade and Purple Grade Beast Essence Orbs depending on their rank.
Even though he didn't have any plans to use them during the fight, he felt that they needed to be as strong as possible and when he required, he could use God Energy to make them as powerful as possible before using them in his fights.
'Abyssal Leviathans, Thousand Poison Spider, Fire Devourer Dragon, Dark Shadow Panther King….'
Leo muttered a few more beast names as they could be useful for him in his fights as long as they become Purple Grade Beasts.
Even the lowest-level Temple Elder was a level 1 Diamond Grade Beast Tamer and he would mostly have purple grade beasts except for his main beast which would be at Diamond Grade.
Hence, Leo was planning to use his purple-grade beasts during the fight if possible.
…
Time continued to pass and one hour passed by in a flash.
'Ding,
The master's strength increased to level 7 Diamond Grade.
As he became stronger, the time taken to increase his beast tamer with the help of the Tamer's Essence Orbs also increased.
For becoming a level 7 Diamond Grade Beast Tamer from level 6, it took him an entire hour.
During the same one hour, the Celestial Forest Howler had reached level 8 Purple Grade Beast; however, Leo knew that it would take at least two hours for it to become a Level 10 Purple Grade Beast.
As for the two thunder bears, they were at level 7 Purple Grade and compared to the Celestial Forest Howler, those beasts used Beast Essence Orbs from the beginning and their efficiency decreased.
Nevertheless, Leo was satisfied with that progress.
'Since it's been an hour, the Temple Members can come at any moment now.'
Leo knew that he didn't have much time and after thinking for a moment, he decided, 'Let's make them Diamond Grade Beasts.'
'Since, upgrade the Celestial Forest Howler and the Two Thunder Bears to Diamond Grade using the God Energy.'
Currently, there are more than 38000 units of God Energy after the Bloodfire Dragon King and his other contracted beasts killed everyone in the Temple earlier.
Even though he wanted to save them for his breakthrough to the Quasi Divine Grade, Leo needed to survive first.
Hence, having a few Diamond Grade Beasts…especially, the Celestial Forest Howler would be quite helpful for him to accumulate more units of God Energy and the Essence Orbs.
'Ding,
+1000 units of God Energy spent on the Celestial Forest Howler and increased its strength to level 9 Purple Grade.
'Ding,
+1000 units of God Energy spent on the Celestial Forest Howler and increased its strength to level 10 Purple Grade.
.
.
.
.
'Ding,
+2000 units of God Energy spent on the Two Golden Armoured Thunder Beasts and increased their strength to level 8 Purple Grade.
.
.
.
Unlike before when Leo had to be careful in injecting God's Energy into the Beasts' body, the System was quite fast and Leo didn't have to worry about the explosion.
In less than a minute, Leo had gained three more Diamond Grade Beasts after spending 11000 units of God Energy.
'Ding,
System God Space: 27000 units of God Energy / Infinity.
'Even though I spent so much, it's alright! I can become stronger in no time with their help.'
For Leo, when his contracted beasts killed his enemies, he would gain God Energy and hence it was like an investment and in no time, he would get the returns multiple times.
'Ding,
Beast Name: Celestial Forest Howler (Quasi-Divine Class).
Strength: Level 1 Diamond Grade.
Bloodline: Celestial Forest God: As long as it fights in a forest, it would become invincible for 10 minutes.
Cooldown: 12 hours.
'Ding,
Beast Name: Golden Armoured Thunder Bear (Heave Class).
Strength: Level 1 Diamond Grade.
Innate Skill: Thunder God's Blessing which increases the attack power of all thunder/lightning-related skills by 500 percent.
Compatibility: 100.
Sibling Merge: Upon merging, a Gaint Thunder Bear with a strength of one whole grade higher than the two Thunder bears and there is a 50 percent chance of having a random bloodline belonging to the Thunder Bear Race.
Note: Limited to peak Diamond Grade but if the Gaint Thunder Bear awakens a temporary bloodline, that limit can be broken.
Cooldown: Six hours.
Soon, the information about his Diamond Grade Beasts appeared in front of Leo, making him reveal a satisfied smile.
The reason why Leo was so eager to upgrade their strength to Diamond Grade was that it would strengthen the existing skills and the bloodlines.
And just like he expected, everything became powerful.
The Celestial Forest God's bloodline changed from one major grade increase in strength to invincible for the same time.
As for the thunder bears, their compatibility has finally increased from 95 to 100 and their [Sibling Merge] became more powerful.
'With these two beasts, I have another two trump cards to kill the Temple Master and even the God Apostle.'
Leo hoped that the God Apostle would come to him and as long as he killed him now, he could be at ease and take his own time to kill the Temple Masters, Temple Elders and Temple Guardians.
Suddenly, the earlier anxiousness in Leo disappeared after seeing the change in the bloodline of the Celestial Forest Howler and felt that he didn't have to pressure himself anymore.
'The solution to my problem was very simple and I was worried over nothing.'
Even though the God Apostle might have a few of his trump cards, Leo was not worried as long as he came first because he could kill him by surprise with the help of the Celestial Forest Howler.
"Temple Master, I found him."
"He is here."
Soon, Leo came out of his thoughts when he heard an excited voice from the distance.
"It looks like they are finally here to die."
Leo revealed a slight smile on his face as he silently summoned his shadow slaves and ordered, "Hide in your shadow and launch your sneak attacks from time to time and kill as many Diamond Grade Beast Tamers as possible."
Just because he had trump cards doesn't mean that Leo would use them from the beginning unless the God Apostle or the Temple Masters comes.
However, he thought that it was most likely for the Temple Guardians or Temple Elders to come in first as the Temple Master was already afraid of getting killed.
That's right!
After learning that Leo could kill the Temple Master, they didn't want to rush to their deaths; instead, they could only send Temple Elders and the Temple Guardians to tire Leo out.
"Everyone, be careful and don't attack him solo. Let's attack him as a group."
A voice came from the distance as it continued, "Summon all your beasts and attack him at once."
Soon, Leo was surrounded by more than thousands of Purple Grade Beast Tamers and hundreds of Diamond Grade Beasts.
Once they release all their beasts, it would be nearly 20000 enemies that Leo had to fight.
'As I expected, the Beast Tamer God is very careful as he mobilized more than ten branches of higher-ups just to kill me.'
From this, it can be understood how angry the Beast Tamer God was and how badly he wanted Leo to be dead.
Nevertheless, Leo was calm and before they could make a move on him, Leo had decided to attack them first.
"Howler, [Celestial Barrier]."
Soon, the Celestial Forest Howler created a protective barrier around Leo and himself.
"Thunder Bears, [Thunder Explosion]"
As for the Thunder Beasts, Leo gave the order to use one of their recently awakened skills that could do some really good mass damage.
'Boom'
Before the beast tamers that surrounded Leo could summon their beast or activate their defensive moves, they were caught in the explosion as Leo's head was filled with system notifications regarding their deaths.
