Chapter 617 Divine Adamantine Beas (1/2)
A huge, slender shadow emerged from the depths of the ocean, then wrapped itself around the island's mountain before resting its head on the mountain's peak, where it silently gazed at the high priestess.
The high priestess walked to the edge of the peak and caressed the bristle on the creature's neck.
”Don't let anyone bother him,” said the high priestess gently.
”Huh... judging from the commotion just now, I thought it was Earthbreaker who had finally reached Saint-tier,” said the creature, its silhouette completely merged with the darkness of the night. Only a pair of silver eyes twinkled in the sky. They belonged to a black dragon that stood taller than even the mountain itself.
The Earthbreaker Dragon Ape shook its head. ”I'm still a long way from Saint-tier.”
”Don't worry. I'll make sure those little squirts don't get too close,” said the black dragon, revealing its sharp white fangs as its mouth split into a grin.
With a light movement from the dragon, four water pillars surged out from the ocean into the heavens No words were spoken, yet the meaning was clear: keep away.
A couple of familiars who were flying too close to the island quickly made a sharp turn away from the water pillars.
Goldie was now floating 30 feet off the ground, its body surrounded by golden rings of light. The rings of light spinning around it gradually shrank inward. When they touched Goldie's skin, a divine light flashed out, forming a layer of runes on Goldie's body. Soon, layers of runes could be seen stacked on top of one another across Goldie's body, forming the outline of a suit of armor.
The dark sky was illuminated by Goldie and the faint golden haze that now enveloped its body. From its eyes sprang forth two streaks of golden light that rushed into the high heavens. The golden haze had turned the clouds overhead into a sea of gold.
Crack. Goldie's taut arms began to expand. Its body was now burning with golden flames. It was as if Goldie had shattered some invisible shackles that had been impeding its growth all this time.
Hum… The golden light in the sky fell back into Goldie's body, and silence fell once more over the Dragon Archipelago. Only the sound of beating dragon wings in the sky could be heard from the sky.
Goldie's eyes were closed, its breathing was now steady. The silence of the night remained unbroken for a long while. Then, Goldie opened its eyes. In them lay a boundless golden ocean. It fell back on the ground solidly.
