Chapter 596: Chapter 594 Dream-Eater Boar
Fantastical Beast Park, spanning a vast area.
A quarter of the entire island on which Red Castle was situated belonged to the Fantastical Beast Park, which housed a large number of Phantom Beasts.
At its peak, there were no less than two hundred Phantom Beasts in the park.
Now, there were one hundred fifty Phantom Beasts in the park, all captured by the Knight Regint organized by Red Castle from the wilderness jungle every year. Typically, after being held for about half a year, they would be sold and then contracted by Knights.
Very few Phantom Beasts were kept in the Fantastical Beast Park for more than three years.
Once such a Phantom Beast appeared, there were generally two outcos. If the breed of the Phantom Beast was precious, it was likely that it would be released back into the forest to breed further; if the Phantom Beast was not precious enough, it would be slaughtered to obtain Phantom Beast materials.
Russell was originally just following the routine, completing the annual ritual required by the Grand Duke.
He had never expected any surprises. He had closely observed the approaching Phantom Beasts early on; none possessed the talent of “dream” nor were there any Phantom Beast Pseudo-Dragon Successors—all were ordinary Phantom Beasts. If there had been any special Phantom Beasts, they would have been chosen early on.
However, this ti,
as soon as he entered the Fantastical Beast Park, before he had even begun to inspect the Phantom Beasts, a warm burning sensation ca from the palm of his left hand.
The “M” shaped mark started to flicker spontaneously.
“Uh?” Russell was surprised, “Ice Cream, have you found sothing in the Fantastical Beast Park?”
Though the Little Dream Dragon was still in a light sleep, Russell, who had spent day and night with it, had co to understand the ssages revealed through the mark.
At that mont,
while inspecting the Phantom Beasts, he observed each one, as well as the reaction of the M-shaped mark in his palm, eventually coming across the Phantom Beast that had caught the Little Dream Dragon’s attention in one of the beast gardens.
It was a black and white patterned beast, sowhat resembling a giant panda’s fur. Its shape was sowhat like a pig, but its nose resembled a shortened elephant trunk, and it had a pair of tusks slightly shorter than ivory tusks, not sharp, more like ornants.
“What is this?” Russell asked the accompanying staff.
A keeper from the Fantastical Beast Park imdiately stepped forward and said, “Your Highness, this Phantom Beast was newly captured this month and hasn’t been nad yet. It roughly belongs to the pig-boar species. It’s very peculiar; we suspect it can steal sleep.”
“Steal sleep?”
“Yes, Your Highness, the previous keeper was sowhat harsh towards this pig-boar and then suffered from sleepless nights; even during ditation, he couldn’t calm his mind, eventually falling seriously ill, even his fighting spirit wilted.”
“Is it that interesting.” A slight smile appeared on Russell’s lips, clearly, this pig-boar phantom beast was related to Gloomy Dreamland.
However, its talent seed very special, as it could keep people from sleeping.
“Pig-boar…Looks like a Dream-Eater Boar.” Russell didn’t imdiately take the phantom beast away but instructed, “Later, have soone send this pig-boar to where I reside, I feel a connection with it.”
“Yes, Your Highness!”
Roland, who was accompanying him, curiously asked, “Your Highness, are you planning to initiate the fifth transformation?”
“If possible, I believe this Phantom Beast could be the opportunity for my fifth transformation,” Russell said.
He cared little about the strength of the Phantom Beasts.
As a Phantom Dragon Knight with mastery over elental forces, he no longer needed the Pri Breath from Phantom Beast Knights as a core of his strength. Now, when he made a contract with a Phantom Beast, he only considered whether the beast had any talents related to Gloomy Dreamland or could offer any benefits to the Little Dream Dragon.
This pig-boar, personally greeted by the Little Dream Dragon, naturally Russell wanted to contract it.
After finishing the inspection of the Fantastical Beast Park,
the pig-boar phantom beast was soon sent to Russell’s private side palace. Subdued by Russell’s “dragon might,” the pig-boar phantom beast was very calm, allowing Russell to touch it all over without daring to resist.
“Um, the touch isn’t great, this fur is too hard, like pig bristles,” Russell shook his head, “But your black and white colors, one look and anyone can tell what a national treasure is.”
The pig-boar phantom beast was baffled and even wanted to shiver with fear.
Russell didn’t waste any more words and directly stimulated the M-shaped mark on his left palm, allowing Little Dream Dragon to slightly expose a trace of its aura.
As soon as this aura appeared,
the pig-boar phantom beast looked at Russell in surprise, its cautious and timid eyes also showing a hint of affection.
“Indeed, you have a talent related to Quiet Dream,” Russell said. “Co, show
your talent, that is, your fixed magic.”
“Hmm?” The pig-boar phantom beast was clever, seemingly asking Russell if it was sure it wanted to do that.
“Co on.”
“Ah!”
Seeing this, the pig-boar phantom beast no longer held back and directly launched its fixed magic at Russell. In an instant, two black lights shone from its pair of pig tusks and shot toward Russell, causing a ripple on Russell’s clothes.
“Hmm?” The pig-boar phantom beast was slightly puzzled, wondering why its magic had not taken effect.
Russell silently nodded.
In his mind, Sacred Unicorn Polly had already analyzed the complete properties of the magic: “It’s a dark elent magic. It can disrupt magic power, but it’s too weak. Otherwise, it could have broken my illusionary clothes.”
Many tis, Russell didn’t wear clothes; these were illusions created by Polly.
“Let’s call it Chaotic Missile,” Russell casually nad the pig-boar phantom beast’s fixed magic.
Then he said to the pig-boar phantom beast, “I have experienced this fixed magic. Now, let’s switch to another; I know you have another fixed magic.”
“Hmm?”
“Certainly, co on, show !” Russell beckoned.
The pig-boar phantom beast imdiately wiggled its nose and then stared intently at Russell, wondering how he would respond to its magic.
But it was disappointed.
Russell’s body just flashed, and then he burst out laughing: “Very interesting. If I weren’t deeply attuned to Gloomy Dreamland, I wouldn’t have known I was being attacked… This is a fixed magic specifically targeting Gloomy Dreamland!”
Just now,
he had clearly felt a slight change in his body, a change related to Gloomy Dreamland.
So he imdiately used the Ethereal Dream Escape Skill. As soon as he did, he discovered the problem: the Gloomy Dreamland around him had been disrupted, or rather, his connection with Gloomy Dreamland had been briefly severed, causing the Ethereal Dream Escape Skill to fail.
Of course, as long as he flew out of this area or waited a while, the attack would dissipate.
But it had to be said, this was indeed a very powerful talent, able to directly attack Gloomy Dreamland. Moreover, according to what the manager had said earlier, if an ordinary person was attacked, it would probably be difficult to break free, and they might not even be able to dream.
This talent could even threaten Russell.
His and Polly’s most powerful thod currently was the Ethereal Dream Escape Skill. The pig-boar phantom beast’s talent attack could directly interfere with Polly’s use of the Ethereal Dream Escape Skill.
If at a critical mont, it interfered like this…
“This is cool, really.” Russell gave a thumbs up. “Now I declare, you have a new scientific na—Dream-Eater Boar!”
He paused, then chuckled: “Of course, we also need to give you a na. Let’s call you… Tepp.”
“Ah.” The Dream-Eater Boar Tepp nodded.
“So now, Tepp, relax your body, open your heart. It’s ti for us to beco true partners!” Russell looked at Tepp and flashed an aunt-like smile, with such a strong talent, it couldn’t be left to wander outside.
