Chapter 304: The Legend of the Volcano, the Six-winged Balrog

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After subduing the langurs, Locke led Hathaway and Angela deeper into the mountain. It turned out that coming to the Hundred Thousand Mountains was a very risky move.

If they had not been ambushed by the lord of Sky City, Reed, they would not have taken the risk to come to this place.

When Locke’s system and the Beastmaster, Angela, combined, they displayed an extremely astonishing power. The Hundred Thousand Mountains, which looked extremely dangerous to outsiders, had now become a paradise for two people.

Other than the terrifying Magical Beasts, there were also many rare herbs and treasures. This was because very few humans were able to set foot here. Hence natural treasures were well preserved.

Now, all of them were given to Locke. Two months later, the three people’s injuries had all healed.

With enough monkey wine, not only could Locke and the other two drink heartily but Little Silver had also completed his evolution and turned into a gorilla that was more than ten meters tall.

It rampaged through the forest. No Battle Beasts dared to come looking for trouble due to its brute strength.

On this day, the three of them arrived in front of a sedimentary volcano. This place was already the hinterland of a Hundred Thousand Mountains. The ground was filled with the ashes of burning trees. It was more than half a meter deep.

Under the burning fire, all the things that could be ignited had been burnt out. All that was left was the debris and smoke.

“Brother Locke, are we really going to go here? I feel like this volcano is going to erupt at any moment. All the surrounding Battle Beasts are running away. They are scared. It’s as if there’s a really scary guy living in the crater.”

Angela held Locke in her arms, her face full of fear.

After a few months together, their intimacy had increased. Angela has gone from being a little girl to being an adult.

Not only her skin had become more supple but also more delicate and soft. It was as juicy as a tempting peach.

“I know that there’s a rare fire spirit inside. After it matures, it’ll be the king of this land, a tier-9 demigod-ranked legendary beast, the Six-winged Balrog.”

A rare hint of fanaticism appeared in Locke’s eyes.

“You want to take back this balrog that’s about to be born? Although your talent is extraordinary, it’s very difficult to subdue a Battle Beast of this level.

“Moreover, you already have more than ten Battle Beasts. It will add on your burden by adding a legendary Battle Beast.”

Hathaway looked at Locke with a worried expression.

In two months, Locke’s nine dragon-snake transformation technique had broken through another level. He had taken in more than ten potential Battle Beasts. However, they had not grown up yet.

Ever since he felt the balrog in the volcano, Locke had been in a state of excitement. This made Hathaway very uneasy.

“Don’t worry, I won’t do anything I’m not sure of. Although this balrog is rare, it’s not that easy for it to come out completely.”

“Other Battle Beasts won’t watch such a demigod come out. There will definitely be other powerhouses coming over, trying to kill it before it completes its maturation.”

“I want to take the fruit of victory before everyone else. I don’t want to contract it, I want to devour it. Devour its power, complete the final evolution, and let a true divine beast descend into the world.”

Mysterious patterns appeared on Locke’s body. At this critical moment, the dragon tooth poison, which had not acted for a long time, made a comeback.

This time, the dragon tooth poison was very fierce, perhaps it had absorbed the fire elements in the air. So much so that Locke, who had broken through again, had to use all of his power to barely suppress it.

“True divine beast?”

“You mean…?”

Hathaway thought of something and revealed a surprised expression.

“That’s right, I’ve been waiting for an opportunity. The heavens allow me to find it. Come out, Swamp Hydra.”

Locke called out and a behemoth that looked like half a mountain of meat appeared on the empty ground.

It was as if lightning had struck the sky. Pairs of scarlet vertical pupils appeared in mid-air.

Just the aura alone had caused the surrounding temperature to drop. A large amount of water vapor was emitted from the air.

Soon, the surroundings became a vast expanse of whiteness, and one could not even see one’s own fingers.

After being tempered by countless heavenly and earthly treasures and the monkey wine, the Swamp Hydra had become incomparably huge and its strength was unfathomable.

If back in Sky City, Swamp Hydra had half of its current strength. It would not have been beaten so badly by Reed.

“Although Swamp Hydra is very powerful, it’s still a water-type Battle Beast. Fighting here is too disadvantageous.”

“Should we consider it again? Maybe there’s a better way.” Hathaway still wanted to persuade Locke.

“In the ancient east, there’s a saying, ‘if you can’t break, you can’t build.’ It’s precisely because its main attribute is water that it needs to find a very pure fire attribute material to neutralize it.”

“If it fails in the end, not only her, but we’ll also die here.”

“Either you complete the final transformation or help this balrog come into being early. Go, Swamp Hydra!”

Locke was still affected by the dragon tooth poison and his expression was somewhat deranged. He wanted to gamble his life on it.

“Hiss!”

Sensing the change in Locke’s state of mind, the Swamp Hydra’s gigantic head let out a roar that tore through Cloud City.

Its gigantic body swam toward the crater of the volcano at an extremely fast speed.

Squeak, squeak, squeak.

The langurs sensed danger and began to jump down crazily.

Fortunately, Little Silver was nearby. It stretched out its large hands and caught these little fellows in mid-air. Only then did they avoid their fate of turning into roasted meat.

“Brother Locke, do you want me to help Swamp Hydra?”

“My light elf is very good at healing and the Fallen Angel Battle Beast also has very strong combat strength. It won’t be a hindrance.” Angela felt inexplicably afraid.

The Swamp Hydra’s huge body crawled across the ground, sizzling as it was roasted by the earth fire. It was making a sound as if pork was being roasted on a grill.

The Swamp Hydra had powerful mana and it was also very good at fire magic. However, it was determined to only use its body to resist. It was as if it was wrestling with an invisible enemy.

“No need. None of us can help it. If you want to be reborn, you can only break the shackles of your bloodline. Snakes are naturally cold-blooded. If you want to devour the Six-winged Balrog, you have to overcome your own nature.”

“The Swamp Hydra understood this point, that’s why it didn’t use any magic. It already has the awareness of death. The rest is up to God.”

Locke stared at the crater.

The Swamp Hydra was a Battle Beast that had followed him the longest and had the strongest combat strength.

He could give Divine Light Dragon to Sky City without hesitation, but he did not want Swamp Hydra to be in danger. If it was possible, he was even willing to sacrifice all the Battle Beasts to help Swamp Hydra.

Now, the only thing he could do was to wait.
