Chapter 178: (Golden Lion | Golden Crow)
Chapter 178: (Golden Lion | Golden Crow)
What appeared on the magic circle when it was Zeth's turn was a lion... it was even bigger than Catherine's shadow panther and Kiara's lightning wolf.
Scthach proceeds to explain...
"Hmm... this one I think is the Golden Lion.. look! you can identify it by looking at it's golden fur. Although this one doesn't have that much fur since... well, I guess it's a female. Hmm... what was it's ability again... Oh right! It was said that this beast, the golden lion, was famous for it's skill called [Fear] and [Subdue].
As one who possesses a regalia of a king... the golden lion have inherent skill to instill fear to all beneath it... and when the target is terrified it would subdue it making them worship the golden lion as it's absolute king. But, that is not all... it was also mentioned that their body have one of the greatest offense and defense, as it's golden fur and skin are sharper than blades.
It has earned the title of a legendary beast was because of it's special skill called [Radiation]. When this skill is used it's whole body will be filled with light element and the moment it is released. All things within it's area of effect will rapidly lose their life span.
I almost forgot it has also the capability to fly. I don't know why this one is different maybe it still weak but a strong golden lion has two massive wings on it's back." Yet again, Scthach finished her explanation.
'King, huh? Is this because of the she has also inherited the blood of King Solomon?.' He thought in his mind.
"Lose their life span... what a terrifying skill. I better be out it's range when this beast use that skill... Or I will quickly age to death." Clara shivered.
"Hiss... I don't want to quickly be an old hag." Kiara said.
"Well... I didn't include it but it was also said that the golden lion is kind to it's companion. I'm pretty sure when the time comes that she will use her skill we won't be effected." Scthach assured them.
"I hope that's the case." Violette nodded.
"It does really suit her... Her golden hair is even more purer and refined than Clara's which is the same as the golden lion." Catherine said.
"The summoning beast that will appear sure do suit to the contractor. I wonder what kind of beast suits me the best?." Eva wondered.
"Yeah, I'm kinda curious what is mine too." Selena said.
"Wouldn't it be a seductress? A charmer?." Catherine commented.
"Haha, maybe." Eva chuckled
"Right back at you, your body is even more seductive than mine." Selena said to Eva while rolling her eyes.
..
"I'm kinda envious this one will have wings in the future right? Mine doesn't! My dreams to fly freely in sky vanished." Kiara joked. It's not like she can fly herself.
"Anyway, Zeth try communicating with it." He said.
"Yes, you can do it." Rose cheered.
"Mhn..." Zeth nodded.
After a while, Zeth was done talking with it.
"Then, what does it need?." He asked.
"It didn't need anything..." Zeth shook her head.
"Oh... it's good!." He smiled.
"But why? Did you also fulfill like me?." Alexia curiously asked.
"Mhn... she said that having that kind of blood is enough." Zeth said.
"What Blood?." Alexia asked.
"I don't know." Zeth said.
"I already know what it is. To explain it, let's see... she inherited a blood of a strong individual." He said.
"What is this about?." Alexia asked.
"It's better not to ask about it... It should be related to the things that happened to her." Catherine quickly said to Alexia.
"Mhn... Okay!." Alexia nodded.
'Well, I also have the same one. Now that I think of it we are blood related.' He thought.
After that, Zeth completed her contract.
The next one was Clara who couldn't wait anymore.
"Okay... be patient." He said while dropping his blood in the magic circle.
"Mhn, mhn." Clara furiously nodded while pouring her magical power in the magic circle.
After she was almost out of magical power. The magical circle shined... and when it was done. Her destined summoned beast appeared. It was crow with the same size as Alexia's phoenix.
"This one is? Scathe?." Clara excitedly said.
"It is similar with Alexia's phoenix. A three-legged crow or should we say the Golden Crow." Scthach said
"Continue..." Clara said.
"Okay... Just like the phoenix, it is one of the strongest beast with fire abilities. You could even say the golden crow's fire is more destructive than the phoenix. If you describe the phoenix fire it is gentle and pure while the fire of the golden crow is describe as noble and chaotic. Although... both are still equal but comparing it with destructiveness the golden crow is more superior.
It is said in the legends that there was a golden crow before that burned a whole world with it's flames. The regenerating ability of the golden crow is the same with the phoenix, rebirth by a drop of blood, as long as there is a drop of blood that remain it won't die. It's refining skills is way beyond understanding... it's flames are even rumored that it refined a whole realm. If you are an alchemist that makes pill for a living, having the golden crow as your contracted beast is a fortune.
But that's not all. [Nine-Suns Fury] this was the golden crow's ultimate ability the power to burn everything in existence. I don't know which is more stronger the phoenix or the golden crow... there is still also the vermilion bird. All I can say is that the golden crow is one of ruler when it comes to flames just like the phoenix." Scthach finished her explanation.
"Cool!." Clara exclaimed.
"How does this suit her though?." Catherine asked.
"From what I know the golden crow is usually arrogant. Well, Clara didn't show any arrogance at all when we meet again after two years. But that is after two years... I recall her having quite a bit of an arrogant attitude before when we first met as she refers to herself as 'this princess'." Alex smiled.
"Eh? Really?." Rose asked.
"No! There is no way!." Clara quickly denied.
"Clara how about a spar... between our contracted beast." Alexia challenged her.
"Humph! Your's can't compare to mine." Clara said
"Clara, it's showing, it's showing." Violette said,
"Showing what?." Clara asked.
"Your arrogance!." Selena giggled.
"Haha," The others also followed as they laughed together.
And just like the other Clara finished her contract, gaining a new companion. The golden crow didn't request anything hard to get. It was already contented when it was offered with a lot of fire seeds.
