Chapter 45: A Spark Sets Off

  "But if I were to sign a contract with it, with my current abilities..." Philomena looked at her grandfather with some concern.

  "Don't worry! As a Saint candidate, you signing a contract with it is no problem at all! Besides, I, your grandfather, still have some connections, and I've already spoken to the elder of its clan. This matter has basically been settled!" The old man stroked his beard, feeling quite satisfied with his granddaughter. Once this contract with Guangming Tiger is signed, next year's Saint trial will be a breeze!

  "Really? But somehow I feel that it's not right to defeat it with our own hands, isn't that a bit disrespectful?" The girl asked worriedly.

  "Haha!" The old man shook his head helplessly. His own granddaughter, with her looks and talent, was one in a million, but she was too stubborn, never willing to admit defeat from childhood to adulthood. "Hmm! You've arrived so quickly?" Under the old man's spiritual perception, a unique aura of the White Tiger clan could be sensed not far away, but it seemed...

  "Miss Delores, it seems like there's someone blocking our way ahead!" Gaili furrowed his brow. They appeared to be using the teleportation method unique to the Beast Country, coming from the center. But why did they teleport here? They should have been able to teleport out directly.

  "Is anyone there? Do you know Deloris?" she asked curiously, as from birth till now, except for Francis, she hadn't seen any other human being!

  "I don't know, except for the master, I haven't seen any other humans! But these people should be from the center of the Beast Country, they look like they won't be enemies! And their aura is similar to Young Master's, it feels great!" Gare thought for a moment, those who can enter the central area must be honored guests of the Beast Country!

  "Go take a look, Delores hasn't seen many people yet!" Delores said excitedly, she wasn't afraid of giving birth.

  "This feeling! It's so intense, there are so many strong people!" Saber drew out the sword stuck in the ground and looked towards the direction of the Pope and his entourage. Next to him lay a magical beast, which seemed to be of the Sacred Rank from its aura. It appeared that Saber had already obtained one victory. "Miss is heading in that direction! This isn't good!" Saber suddenly sensed Dolores' aura and recalled Francis saying that dragons were extremely rare on the continent, with countless people wanting to either slay or become dragon knights! Saber immediately turned around and rushed towards Dolores' direction.

  "Hmm! This is it!" Dis rose from the ground, and suddenly many powerful warriors appeared in front of Delores, among whom there was a breath that even he couldn't see through. "Aiolos, don't mind this guy! Let's go quickly, Miss has trouble!" As he spoke, his body flashed with golden light, directly putting on the Golden Holy Robe, and disappeared from the scene.

  On this side, Aeolus had already entwined with a lion-type demon beast. Upon hearing Dis's words, he also jumped down and directly leapt out of the battlefield to put on his holy robes. He said to the lion, "It seems that it will end here today! I'll go first!" After finishing speaking, he chased after Dis's aura and disappeared from the scene, leaving behind only the lion's angry roars.

  "This is it!" Francis gazed at his rear in surprise, "This is the aura of Dis and Aeolus! How did they put on the Golden Holy Garment?!" Francis was farthest from Dolores, so he couldn't sense what had happened there with his spiritual power. However, he was still quite close to Dis and Aeolus. He felt that their small universe had surged, which made sense considering they had also donned the Holy Garment.

  "Roar!" Dodging the sneak attack from behind by the wolf-headed beast, Francis felt a wave of emotion. This magical creature had two heads, and even its thoughts were different. He didn't know whose thoughts were correct when using his own Insight skill!

  "Whoosh!" A flurry of leaves floated up from the ground...

  "This is psychic power, it's Deis' microcosm! What on earth happened?" Francis felt that the leaves were mixed with Deis' microcosm.

  "Miss! Danger! West!" The leaves in the air formed these few words, startling Francis.

  "Woohoo!" Two wolf heads bit down hard on Francis, savoring the bloody taste in their mouths. The blue wolf head exclaimed excitedly: "See? I told you! Humans taste great!"

  "Ah! Ah......" The yellow wolf head felt like something was wrong in its mouth, it couldn't bite down. Looking at the wolf head beside it: "This is wrong! I can't bite down, it's too hard! Ah! You... your teeth fell out!"

  "What!" The blue wolf head stuck out its tongue and licked it, and the teeth really fell off. This bloody smell was actually his own blood.

  The two wolves had just relaxed their jaws, but suddenly felt a blackness in front of their eyes, and then they didn't feel anything anymore...

  —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

  "It's clear that the White Tiger is coming this way! Taylor, Alide, stop fooling around!" The old man said to the still laughing Dragon Knight.

  "Is that so! It's already this intense so quickly! To be able to discover our tracks so soon!" Taylor, also known as the red-haired dragon knight, exclaimed in surprise. Has this sacred-tier demon beast become this powerful?

  "Impossible! This place is still far from his territory, and even I, Alayde, can't sense it instantly from such a distance!" Alayde said suspiciously, adjusting her disheveled hair which was messed up by her knights.

  "Aren't you one of the top ten outstanding youths of Long Island?! You're stumped at this level?!" Taylor retorted hastily.

  "Shut up! You..." Alred said indignantly.

  "No, it should be that we just happened to appear on the road where it passed! Its strength has not yet reached the peak of the Holy Stage, and it won't feel us so early! However..." The old man sensed Deloris' breath, how could there be a young giant dragon here? What's even more frightening is that her strength was clearly not strong, but she had already transformed!

  "What's wrong, Your Holiness?" Taylor asked, looking at the Pope with a puzzled expression.

  "There's nothing, maybe I felt wrong, Alaed, wait a moment and feel it carefully, is there your kin here? She's with that white tiger!" The Pope said to Alaed after thinking for a while.

  "Huh? My kin?" Alred was quite puzzled, did the Beast Country have giant dragons?

  "Grandfather, are you saying there's a giant dragon here?" Philomena was also puzzled. Why would a giant dragon come to the outskirts of the Beast Country? If they were going to appear at all, shouldn't it be in the central region?!

  The old man shook his head "I also think I saw it wrong! It's actually a young dragon instead of an adult giant dragon!"

  "What?! A young dragon——?!" The eight people in the row were all shocked, how could there be a young dragon here? It's impossible! But the Pope's perception is absolutely not wrong! Could it really be a young dragon?!

  "Just take a look and you'll know! Hasn't it already arrived?" The old man looked ahead, feeling a bit strange. Today is likely to be an accident...

  Everyone followed the Pope's gaze and looked forward, a two-meter-long white tiger was running towards them. They knew that the sacred beast could change its shape. But what surprised them even more was that on the back of the white tiger there was an adorable little girl... Could this be the young dragon that the Pope had mentioned? It has already transformed... What's going on here?

  —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

  We're almost there! What's going on with Gary? He ran into a weird person and didn't even go around him! Saber kept accelerating, hoping to rush past quickly. The intentions of the approaching person are unclear, Miss will be in danger!

  "Aiolos, hurry up! The lady has already clashed with those people! Saber is almost here, but just her and Gari might not be enough! The enemy is too strong!" Dieth's eyes narrowed, the aura within him was too powerful, Saber wasn't his match.

  "Alright, don't worry, Dis. I can go even faster than that. As a close-range Saint Fighter, speed is absolutely not a problem for me!"

  "Alright!" Dais said as the small universe burned with all its might, a golden light flashed across the sky and disappeared directly in front of Aeolus.

  "So fast! Is this the Seventh Sense?" Aiolos was instantly left behind by Dis, and could only spread his wings from under his holy robes to fly directly in mid-air, reducing the speed difference between them.

  "This is it!" The old man raised his head, looking towards Dis in surprise. "This aura! So strong! There are two! What's going on, is there someone else here?" He turned his head again to look towards Saber's direction. "There's also an aura approaching from that side, what's going on? Such a strong person has appeared nearby! Who could it be?"

  "Roar!" Gary directly transformed back into his true form, a four-meter-long white and black striped tiger body, with piercing golden eyes staring at the eight people from the Church of Light, exuding an aura of nobility. "Who are you, and why have you appeared here?"

  "Dai Bai has grown so big! His fur is so long!" Deloris leaned on Geli's back, grasping the long fur on his back, curiously looking at the group of people from the church.

  Philomena gazed intently at Garry, and his noble aura immediately conquered her. "Grandpa, this white tiger is so cool! I love it!"

  The old man didn't seem to notice his own granddaughter, but instead looked at the Deloris on Gail's body and asked solemnly: "Aried! How is it? Is she your clanswoman?"

  Aried's mouth was agape! The dull-witted one nodded "It can't be wrong, it's absolutely the Dragon Clan, I can feel her dragon aura! To think that someone so young can transform into a human form! There's only one possibility that I know of!"

  The old man also let out a soft sigh: "I know that possibility too! But, does your dragon tribe have a princess who has fallen outside?"

  "Absolutely not! And I've never heard of a princess from the Dragon Tribe being this young! No way! I have to confirm, how can the Dragon Tribe have such a young princess wandering around outside?! If those old guys find out they'll go crazy!" Alred rushed towards Gail, or rather, Deloris.

  "It's so obvious! They're always staring at me, Deloris is so scared!" The gaze of the Pope and Garry was very intimidating to Deloris.

  Garett took two steps back, warily eyeing Alait, his target was Miss, what did he want to do! Damn it, were these people going to make a move on Miss? "Roar————! Who are you guys?"

  Gail's words did not interrupt Aladdin's movements, he still ran towards Gail, which instead triggered Gail's vigilance.

  "Kiri, retreat!" A voice came from one side, and Kiri heard it and ran directly to Saber's location.

  The Vatican delegation looked directly at Saber, her perfect face, resolute eyes, and a suit of silver armor... What a beauty!

  If it were any other time, Alde would have already pounced on a beauty like Saber and lavished her with attention. But now, with anxiety brewing in his heart, he didn't have the leisure to do so. He directly released a wave of dragon aura, gazing at Deloris. Alde thought that as a fellow dragonkin, she should respond to his dragon aura. "Who are you? Why..."

  "Ah! Waaah——Lily sister!" Deloris was directly scared to tears by Alred's dragon might! This dragon might was different from what she remembered, without the warm feeling of her mother!

  "Bastard!" Saber's eyes widened in anger, staring at Alayt, raising his own sword. Suddenly the air was filled with an increasingly strong gust of wind, and the blade twisted into a curve.

  The old man looked at Saber in surprise, it was actually a Holy Grail! Such intense magical fluctuations! "Aried, come back quickly!"

  "Wind King's Mallet!!"
