480 Clash 2 (1/2)

Chapter 480: Clash 2

Island Master Wukang was laughing hysterically.

Although he was speechless in reaction to Phiroth's prank of changing the shape of the Seed of the Ancestral God, what had to be absorbed has to be absorbed.

While the shape was like so, the content wasn't…

Two of them sat on their knees as they face the crystal made transparent isolation box. They both reached out their palms and placed them firmly on it. Then, they closed their eyes and absorb the life force inside it through Secret Techniques.

The pure and strong life force left the isolation box like a small river and flowed into Garen and Lightless' body.

This life force was much stronger than the air previously but it was very neutral, unlike the invasive air.

As both of them were absorbing it, they could clearly see that the green poop inside the isolation box had started to shrink.

Time passed slowly.

The night sky unknowingly turned brighter as the green light started dimming. Twilight had started to break in the sky.

After some time, Garen suddenly opened his eyes.

Roar!

The red dragon's shadow flashed past his face.

”Four dragon heads have merged…” He casually felt the changes of the Black Water True Technique inside his body. Four out of nine dragon heads had been absorbed by him.

The absorption of the dragon heads was not able to give him more strength as it was just a conversion of energy from the totem into Secret Technique.

The totem had weakened but in returned, the Secret Technique had evolved.

There was no change in the overall strength. However, as the strength was converted into the Secret Technique, he could apply this strength onto his actual body and evolve to a level he couldn't have achieved previously.

The Black Water True Technique's strength had undoubtedly become stronger again as there were only five heads out of nine left from the nine-headed hydra totem. The remaining heads were in high spirits and not on the verge of dying under the effect of the life force.

It was estimated that the convergence of the fifth head wouldn't take long after this.

This was the benefit of the Seed of the Ancestral God.

Garen suddenly recalled the original ability of the Seed of the Ancestral God was to enhance the totem strength.

He closed his eyes as he felt the changes in his body and he could feel that his internal organs had become more active than before. Furthermore, he was able to control the Nine-Headed Hydra with his mind better and he felt that he still had more strength left in reserve.

He opened his eyes and glanced at the attribute pane.

‘Strength 14. Agility 10. Vitality 10. Intelligence 10. Potential 35124%. Possess the qualification of a Luminarist.

Seed of the Ancestral God Enhancement: Increased totem control limit by 1.'

”An additional totem to control? Not bad.” Garen nodded in satisfaction. Compared to the increased merging speed of the dragon head, it seemed pointless to increase the totem's strength.

He'd originally planned to obtain some small benefit but he didn't expect to reduce the merging duration. It was indeed an accidental reward.

The sky had turned bright.

Garen and Wukang walked out of the stronghold after they finished absorbing the Seed of the Ancestral God. Although both of them obtained something beneficial, they had a strange look on their face.

As they walked outside of the stronghold's forest, they saw a few guards patrolling in the area and didn't see much totem users outside as they're probably still absorbing the Seeds of the Ancestral God.

Before the seed appeared, the atmosphere here was very strict. Everyone was cautious against each other as conflict might occur at any given moment. However, the atmosphere had loosened a lot the moment the seed was condensed since one would have to wait until next year before the next one appeared.

Daniela had sent out a group of typically trained soldiers led by low-level totem users. Conflicts had been dramatically reduced and the typical argument could be settled by these patrols.

Garen and Wukang were walking outside and they didn't think that the release of the seed of the Ancestral God would greatly affect the plants in the forest. Some of these plants had completely changed and some had been sucked dry by some parasites. It's as if the whole forest had undergone a big change.

As the Ancestral God Tree was huge, both of them were almost lost as it was a no-fly zone.

As Wukang was about to wave his hand to the patrols and request for them to guide the way, Garen on the side stopped him.

”There's no need to rush. Let me handle it.”

Garen glanced at the surrounding patrols and he grinned.

”You! Come over!” He pointed at a short patrol.

This person was in an all-white armor and helmet. He was lowering his head as he followed his team from behind and seemed completely unwanted in any way.

Garen's eye slightly turned red as he glanced at this patrol once more.

The leader of the patrol team heard their call and ran towards them.

”Sir, what order do you have?” The team leader was a middle age man and he looked very humble.

”We have lost our way as the geography of this place changed last night so we need a person to guide us around. There's no doubt about it, let him guide us!” Garen pointed at the shorty standing at the very back of the team.

”Alright alright… Garfield, you'll now follow these two lords and guide them in their path. Report back to me when you're done, understand!?” The leader talked to the shorty sternly.
