Chapter 704 Purple-Winged Devil Vulture
'Screech'
As soon as the old man shouted, a purple-coloured orb came out of his body and transformed into a huge Vulture.
Its appearance is striking, with jet-black feathers covering its large and robust body. What sets it apart is the distinctive colouration of its wings, which boast a deep, iridescent shade of purple.
Its strength was level 10 purple grade and the old man had used it to fly to the Blood Valley as soon as possible.
[Ancient Devil Roc's bloodline]
The moment it came out of the old man's tamer's space, it activated its bloodline and soon, its strength started increasing.
'Screech'
By the time it received the temporary boost from its bloodline, the Vulture had reached level 5 Diamond Grade and screeched at the incoming Celestial Foresy Howler.
'He had a contracted beast with a similar bloodline?'
Leo frowned; however, it was not within his expectations because he believed that there would be other beasts with such bloodlines.
Nevertheless, he was a little surprised to encounter a beast with a powerful bloodline right after he exited the Blood Valley.
"Howler, use your new skill [Celestial Bloom]."
Soon, Leo stopped thinking about other things and decided to entirely focus on the battle with the old man and his contracted beasts.
Even though there was a difference of four levels between the Celestial Forest Howler and the Purple-winged Devil Vulture, Leo was not in a hurry to summon his other two beasts with bloodlines.
'Since he was using only one beast, he might have other beasts. So, I have to be careful in revealing my trump cards.'
This was what Leo thought in his head when he ordered the Celestial Forest Howler to fight.
[Celestial Bloom]
'Swoosh'
Soon, the trees and bushes behind the Celestial Forest Howler came to life and started moving.
'Swoosh'
They extended their vines from the air and roots from underground to attack the Purple-winged Devil Vulture.
'Screech'
The speed of Vulture was so fast that it easily dodged the vines and roots.
"Now, use [Celestial Blast]"
Leo had already guessed that the Vulture would dodge the vines and roots and he was not hoping from the [Celestial Bloom] because there were not many trees and bushes around them.
Hence, it would be impossible for the Celestial Forest Howler to capture the Vulture with that skill alone.
Therefore, Leo had already planned the next attack.
'Swoosh'
In the next second, the Celestial Forest Howler condensed an energy ball in its mouth before releasing it at the Vulture.
'Now, let's see how it is going to dodge the Celestial Blast.'
Even though the Vulture was fast, the Celestial Blast would lock onto its target and follow the target until it was blasted.
So, Leo was confident that it would hit the Vulture.
"Vulture, block it with your wings."
'Boom'
The old man noticed that the energy ball was following Vulture and decided to let his beast take the attack head-on.
Soon, the energy ball hit the Vulture covering its entire body with its wings and what happened next was a huge explosion.
"Vulture, use Drilling Beak and kill it."
Even though the old man wanted to take Leo as his servant, he thought the only way to make Leo understand his true power was by killing the Celestial Forest Howler which he assumed to be Leo's most powerful beast.
'I hope he will learn the lesson with the death of his most powerful beast.'
The old man wanted Leo as his servant and wanted to make full use of his ability to make the beasts he killed drop the Essence Orb.
'But, compared to that ability, what I am more curious about is how the hell did he raise his strength to Purple Grade in just a few days?'
The old man could tell that the Celestial Forest Howler had formed a contract with it because he could see the thin tamer's energy circulation between Leo and the Celestial Forest Howler.
Moreover, the tamer's energy had already turned purple.
'Even though it was a light purple which indicates that he became a Purple Grade Beast Tamer very recently, it is still unbelievable for some who awakened four days ago to become a Purple Grade Beast Tamer.'
The old man looked at Leo as his eyes shone, 'This kid is full of mysteries and I want to make use of all those mysteries to increase my strength and become a Temple Master and then Chief Temple Master.'
Previously, the old man's goal was only to become a Temple Elder; however, after learning about Leo's ability and other abilities that he was hiding, the old man's goals became bigger and bigger.
'Screech'
On the other hand, the Vulture screeched out loud after receiving orders from its master and flew into the sky.
'Whirl'
After flying a few kilometers high into the sky, the Vulture folded its body with its wings and turned into an 'Egg' before pointing its sharp beak out of the egg.
Soon, it started spinning with its sharp beak pointing at the Celestial Forest Howler.
"Howler, use [Celestial Shroud]."
Of course, Leo was ready for such powerful moves from his opponents and ordered the Celestial Forest Howler to go with its powerful defensive move.
'Swoosh'
In the next second, a white-coloured shining barrier appeared around the Celestial Forest Howler; however, that's not it as another few layers of barriers appeared around the first shining barrier.
After Howler finished using its defensive move, it was no longer visible from the outside and there were many layers of barriers around it.
Even though the Celestial Forest Howler might be lacking in attack power; however, when it comes to defence, it had a top-notch defence.
The difference between the Celestial Forest Howler and the Purple-winged Devil Vulture after using their bloodlines was four levels; however, according to their classes, Celestial Forest Howler is two classes higher.
The Vulture was only an Earth-Class beast whereas the Celestial Forest Howler was a Quasi-Divine Class Beast which was two classes higher.
Hence, Leo was confident that the Celestial Forest Howler could easily survive that attack with its newly awakened defensive move.
'Kacha'
Soon, the Vulture's sharp beak collided with the Celestial Forest Howler's defensive barrier and surprisingly there was no explosion whatsoever.
However, there was a crisp sound and when one observed carefully, they could see that the sharp beak of the Vulture had cracks all over it.
"T-this is…"
Looking at the scene in front of them, both Leo and the old man Orion were shocked.
Even though Leo expected that the defensive move of the Celestial Forest Howler would be powerful, he had never expected it to be that powerful to the point it could break the Vulture's beak.
'It looks like the Class for the beasts is much more powerful and important than I thought.'
Leo silently thought in his head and soon, he ordered, "Howler, use your [Celestial Bloom] to trap the Vulture and then use the [Celestial Blast] to kill it."
[Celestial Bloom]
[Celestial Blast]
The Celestial Forest Howler came out of its multi-layered barrier and used the two attacks that Leo ordered before killing the Devil Vulture.
'Swoosh'
Soon, a purple-coloured beast essence orb came out of the vulture's body before the body disappeared.
"Didn't you want to see my ability…that's my ability."
Leo replied to the shocked old man with a scoff as he collected the Beast Essence Orb.
