Chapter 164 - 158: Desert Crocodile

Translator: 549690339 |

Unfortunately, this was a challenge assessment in the Heritage Relic, and David Jones could not contract the already-owned Sword Master puppet as his pet.

Otherwise, this extremely rare humanoid exotic beast could have been his third

pet.

Thinking of this, David’s face showed some regret.

Seeming to detect her Trainer’s thoughts, Rainbow glared menacingly at the Sword Master puppet in the distance, filling the air with a hair-raising Commander Domination.

At the moment of David’s contemplation, a peerless arc of sword light came from the Sword Master puppet’s twin swords, appearing in front of David within the blink of an eye.

“Rainbow, Frost Ring,” David commanded.

With a thought from Rainbow, eight indestructible azure frost barriers spread outwards and blocked all incoming sword lights.

Upon seeing this, the Sword Master puppet flapped its wings vigorously, beginning to charge Double Strike. Its left hand sword filled with thick Rock Arcane Force, while the right hand sword emitted sharp Gold Arcane Force. It rushed towards Rainbow with lightning and flint-like speed.

The magnificent sword light soared high, and the Sword Master puppet behind closed in like a ruthless killing machine. The two longswords accompanied by piercingly terrifying sonic explosions swung viciously at Rainbow.

David Jones: “Frostfall Dragon Breath!”

“Yi!” o( ‘a ” )o (I am very strong!)

Rainbow glanced at her Trainer and suddenly became a little moody, allowing the Sword Master puppet’s twin swords to strike her heavily.

She wanted her Trainer to know that she was far more powerful than this sudden Puppet Exotic Beast, and her strength was crushing.

“Ding Ding!” A crisp metallic sound suddenly rang out.

David’s pupils constricted, and sparks were emitted where the twin swords clashed with Rainbow’s Dragon Scale, but no traces were left.

Apparently, Rainbow’s defense alone was sufficient to ignore the attacks of an upper-level Class III exotic beast.

At the moment of David’s astonishment, the Sword Master puppet had no intention of stopping its attack.

If one strike did not work, then make another!

“Rock-Cut Continuity.”

The Sword Master puppet’s twin swords rapidly alternated and launched a series of furious assaults. The soaring sword light filled the sky, seemingly suppressing Rainbow momentarily with this burst of momentum.

“Alright, I know you’re strong, use the Space Crack skill to get rid of her, said David Jones with a slight frown.

Rainbow used her dragon claw to block some dangerous sword strikes, and as for the other attacks, she chose to bear them all. This act of not taking her opponent seriously was bordering on excessive.

The Sword Master puppet seemed to possess some level of consciousness. After hearing David’s words, her already cold eyes became even sharper.

She held the sword hilt tightly in both hands. Amidst the fluttering of her wings, a sky full of gorgeous flower petals shrouded Rainbow’s figure.

No matter how solid the defense was, she trusted herself to crack it open with this sword skill.

“Flower Double Cut.”

The rapid sword strikes flashed a sharp light, stirring a terrifyingly unbeatable momentum, engulfing Rainbow’s vital points.

Sensing the threat brought by this sword skill, Rainbow’s pupils constricted and no longer went easy on herself. The Space Crack skill was activated instantly.

The next second, the Sword Master puppet’s slashing motion suddenly halted, its wings flapped urgently, seemingly aware of the threat posed by the Space Crack, attempting to escape this area.

However, the speed of the swordsman puppet’s flight was not as fast as the release speed of a spatial skill.

As the sound of shattering mirrors filled the air, accompanied by rampaging spatial energy, the figure of the swordsman puppet abruptly disintegrated into countless fragments of sand and stone.

For a moment, a rain of sand fell from the sky.

A wistful expression appeared on David Jones’s face before he tapped

Rainbow’s head with his fingers.

Suppressing the pain from the impact, he said sternly, “If you don’t follow orders next time, I’m going to deduct a month’s worth of massage enhancement!”

At these words, Rainbow, who had just defeated the swordsman puppet in seconds, instantly froze her proud expression. She then turned her head to stare silently at the distant desert, as if she had heard nothing.

After a while, David Jones finally heard her displeased response.

“Yee.” o( ‘a ‘ )o (I won’t do it again next time.)

David Jones sighed and rubbed Rainbow’s head.

“Your safety is the most important to me, so don’t do this again.

Feeling this gentle touch and concern, Rainbow’s body stiffened slightly, and a sense of guilt rose in her heart.

Seeing that Rainbow admitted her mistake sincerely, David Jones changed the subject with a smile, “Alright, let’s pick up the equipment.”

He participated in this relic exploration for the precious pet resources hidden within. If he could gather the resources to evolve Daphne all at once, it would be the best outcome.

[Broken Kengou’s Arcane Stone]: A shattered heritage arcane stone, containing partial knowledge of the swordsman puppet’s dual-blade technique. When used, one can obtain a portion of dual-blade knowledge. Due to its fragmentary nature, this stone can only be used once.

[Sharp Gold Stone]: Level IV gold-type resource, the gem on the right sword’s hilt of the swordsman puppet. Can be used to increase the power of gold-type pet skills or be crafted into arcane implements.

David Jones scratched his head. The Sharp Gold Stone was fine, and he might sell it for a good price, but the swordsman puppet’s heritage stone was a bit useless!

He now had the Afterglow Array, and as long as he cultivated the Daphne’s flame strong enough, his strength could even rival that of ultra-capables at the same level, so there was no need to learn swordsmanship anymore.

“I wonder if this kind of swordsman heritage is worth any money,” David Jones muttered as he looked around the desert, a puzzled look in his eyes.

According to the information he had obtained from President Woolf, the second challenge of the relic should have been rock puppets with greater numbers and stronger power. How did he encounter a swordsman puppet?

Something was not right!

Looking at the portal not far away, David Jones fell into deep thought, and for a moment, he could not decide whether to enter the third challenge.

After all, everyone’s tasks were the same, but his was different, which was suspicious!

On the other side, within a different area of the Heritage Relic, Snow Clark was in a fierce battle, while Nixon Lowell quickly defeated the giant puppet in the second challenge and stepped toward the portal to the third challenge.

At this moment, seeing the two fused giant puppets before her, a trace of helplessness flickered in Snow’s eyes.

“What a tough fight, it seems I need to grind them down slowly!”

Although these two elite Class III puppets were not a match for her, their rock-type nature gave them a strong resistance to electric elemental attacks, making it difficult for her Thunder Papilio to cause much damage in a short period.

“The Commander-level Desert Crocodile in the third challenge is also rock-type, which will probably be even more difficult,” Snow’s face became even more bitter.

With such elemental disadvantages in the trials, at most she could reach the fourth challenge, on par with the most recent record holder….
