Chapter 431: Humanoid Pet. Epic Scarlet Flame Drake

Edited by Aelryinth

As the Earthen Rock Demon stabilized itself, a huge rock spear immediately appeared in its hand, and was hurled at the mysterious woman ahead with a whoosh.

The rock spear flew across so quickly it tore the air apart, instantly reaching the woman. Everywhere it flew past, the nearby flames faded.

For some unknown reason, the mysterious woman didn’t use her technique from before, where she’d turn incorporeal to dodge the oncoming rock spear. Instead, she grabbed her halberd tightly and parried the projectile with a loud cry.

Bang! The halberd was thrown into the air. The tall and slender woman was directly blown back flying through the air, and spat out a mouthful of golden scarlet blood.

As the blood left her body, it turned into a mass of golden scarlet sparks and scattered.

“Oh shit, she’s indeed not human!”

Seeing this strange sight, Zhang Che was finally certain that this being in front of him who had the appearance of a woman was no human at all. The essence of her being was only a fire elemental lifeform. However, there were many bizarre things about her.

First, the scarlet and white sword that had never failed him before was unable to harm her at all, and she was terrifyingly strong in terms of pure brute strength. Not only that, she was also skilled in fighting, probably no weaker than those powerful high-tier beastmasters.

If it wasn’t because her flame dragon was unable to penetrate the Elemental Protective Barrier’s defense, Zhang Che might have really died at her hands today!

Fortunately, the mysterious woman wasn’t considered too powerful. The Earthen Rock Demon could basically steamroll her.

Zhang Che relaxed, willing the Earthen Rock Demon to attack in a frenzy.

After all, the Elemental Protective Barrier only lasted an hour. Over a quarter of an hour had passed. If the Earthen Rock Demon couldn’t end the battle within the next half an hour, Zhang Che would have to consider retreating from this area. Otherwise, he would be burned into ash by the surrounding flames, without even needing the mysterious woman to make a move!

After receiving Zhang Che’s orders, the Earthen Rock Demon let out a silent roar. Another spear formed in its hand, aimed at the mysterious woman in front, and was hurled out violently.

However, would the woman still dare to meet the attack head on after suffering a loss from before?

Her tall, graceful figure twisted nimbly. Despite the gravity field affecting her movements severely, she still managed to dodge the rock spear by a hair’s breadth.

In the next moment, before the Earthen Rock Demon could attack again, she suddenly swung her halberd around. Golden scarlet flame dragons shot out one after another, closing in on the Earthen Rock Demon from all directions.

The blazing flames were entwined in multiple layers, nearly trapping the Earthen Rock Demon completely inside.

The terrifyingly heat burned its body, producing a concentrated wave of crackle noises. Large pieces of stone bits fell from the surface of its body.

Zhang Che furrowed his brow slightly. -Is this for real? Are the flames so powerful that even the Earthen Rock Demon can’t withstand it?-

In the next moment, however, he finally relaxed.

A layer of dirty yellow light shone from the Earthen Rock Demon’s body. Dense earth elemental power rose from its feet, quickly repairing the cracked areas of its body. In the blink of an eye, the Earthen Rock Demon was fully healed.

With the Earthen Rock Demon was standing on earth, as long as it didn’t receive heavy damage instantly, it could use the power of the earth to quickly repair itself. Even though the ground here was abnormal, it didn’t affect its regenerative ability.

Although the Earthen Rock Demon didn’t suffer any actual damage, it was enraged. Without any hesitation, it activated its attack skill.

Countless earth spikes shot up from the ground towards the mysterious woman, leaving her with no space to dodge. She could only brandish her halberd with all her strength, parrying the spikes one by one.

Dang dang dang dang…!

Loud noises rang out endlessly. The excited Zhang Che noticed the woman would tremble slightly with every rock spear she blocked, her jade white face turning red in the end. Another golden scarlet flame dragon shot out as she fell backwards, her butt sitting on the ground.

“Ahhhhhh…!”

The Earthen Rock Demon’s attacks seemed to have thoroughly enraged the mysterious woman.

She opened her mouth and let out a series of angry cries. Wave after wave of intense golden scarlet flame light burst out from her body. She suddenly took flight, and her halberd also instantly turned into an enormous golden scarlet flame dragon, shooting fiercely towards the Earthen Rock Demon.

“Finally, can she not hold it in anymore?!” Zhang Che narrowed his eyes slightly. The scarlet and white sword shot out from his brow once more, streaking towards the mysterious woman ahead.

Even though the scarlet and white sword couldn’t harm her, it would distract her, leaving her unable to focus on dealing with the Earthen Rock Demon with all her strength.

Indeed, facing the scarlet and white sword’s attack, the woman was forced to turn her body incorporeal again.

This time, however, Zhang Che drove the golden vortex to the extreme, controlling the scarlet and white sword to fly back and forth, not giving the woman any chances to solidify herself.

Having lost control of it, the halberd that had turned into a ferocious flame dragon lost all light as it reached the Earthen Rock Demon. It reverted back into a halberd, reaching its target weakly.

The Earthen Rock Demon raised its arm and slapped the halberd away. Afterwards, it walked up quickly and wound its thick arm back, slamming its huge fist at the mysterious woman’s incorporeal figure.

“Ah!” came a miserable scream. The woman’s figure was directly smashed through the void. Golden scarlet flames gushed out as she was sent flying dozens of meters back.

At this moment, Zhang Che grabbed onto the opportunity. The scarlet and white sword flew out once more.

The sword light punched through the woman’s abdomen silently, leaving a gaping hole in its path. Sparks spattered fiercely from the woman’s wound, like golden-scarlet colored blood.

With the combined strength of he and his subdued beast, Zhang Che finally found an opportunity to severely injure the mysterious woman.

“Strike while she’s down!”

Killing intent rose in Zhang Che’s eyes. The scarlet and white sword shot towards the woman once more, even as she was still falling in mid-air.

If it managed to hit her again, there was a good chance of killing her right there!

“Master!” the woman suddenly cried out unexpectedly. She forcibly bent down, kneeling on the ground, seemingly prostrating herself before Zhang Che.

“Hmm? She’s submitted just like that?”

As he willed it, the scarlet and white sword veered off slightly to the side, narrowly flying past the kneeling woman. Afterwards, the sword light hovered above her head, ready to slash down at any moment.

“Master!” The woman opened her mouth once more and uttered the word. She raised her head slightly, her cruel and headstrong attitude from before no longer in her eyes. She intent on submitting to Zhang Che.

Even so, he didn’t dare to be careless. Heavens knew if this was the mysterious woman’s trick to stall for time?

-Big brother, it’s time for you to make an appearance!- Zhang Che looked into his inner world, yelling inside at the rainbow crystal in his spiritual sea.

The rainbow crystal shook slightly. In the next moment, a rainbow talismanic rune flew out from Zhang Che’s brow, directly flying in front of the kneeling woman.

“If you’re really submitting to me, then let this talismanic rune enter your body without resistance,” Zhang Che said with a low voice, ignoring whether she understood his words.

A miracle happened! It seemed like the mysterious woman really understood Zhang Che and obediently let down her mental guard, allowing the rainbow talismanic rune to directly enter her head, deeply imprinting itself onto her soul.

“Success!” Zhang Che almost cheered out loud. He didn’t expect the rainbow crystal’s ability to be this powerful, allowing him to even plant the rainbow talismanic rune on creatures other than exotic beasts.

-I wonder if the rainbow talismanic runes can be used to control humans..?- The thought found its way into Zhang Che’s head for a brief moment. He walked up to the mysterious woman with a wide smile on his face, asking, “Exactly what kind of lifeform are you? Do you understand my words?”

The mysterious woman, who had now become Zhang Che’s pet, stood up gracefully and submissively. Her perfect lips parted, her clear voice rang out, “I am the elemental queen of these flame lands. I pledge myself to master from today forth, and swear to fulfill all orders!”

“The heck, you really know how to speak!”

Zhang Che’s horizons were widened. Why would this humanoid pet, who claimed to be the elemental queen of these fiery lands, know human speech?

-Then, since she knows how to speak, does she know how to warm the bed? Ugh, forget it. If she accidentally lost control of her flames, wouldn’t I be burned alive?- Zhang Che shook his head, purging the evil thoughts in his mind. He asked, “How do you know human speech?”

Unexpectedly, a trace of confusion flashed across the elemental queen’s eyes. She said with uncertainty, “When I was born, my inherited memories seemed to be fluent in human speech, but the servants in these flame lands had no way of conversing. Before this, I have never spoken a word. Naturally I was able to speak when I got to meet master today.”

“Speak human. Your linguistics style sounds really confusing,” Zhang Che couldn’t help but comment, unable to stand the way she spoke.

“Yes, master!” the elemental queen answered submissively, acting however Zhang Che preferred.

He was speechless. Immediately, he thought of something, and asked again, “Right, are there more of your servants? Quickly summon all of them here. Your master needs them!”

Zhang Che was thinking that the amount of fire crystal cores the Scarlet Flame Drake absorbed seemed to be insufficient. Perhaps it was only enough to help it rank up in level. If there were more of those crystal cores, maybe it could even rank up in quality!

In that case, his combat strength would increase by a huge margin.

“Please wait a minute, master,” the elemental queen replied softly. Afterwards, an invisible fluctuation spread from her body, rippling towards the depths of the fiery lands.

A few minutes later, silhouettes of various sizes suddenly came running from the depths of the fiery lands. The flaming servants consisted of humanoids as well as beasts.

At a rough estimate, Zhang Che realized there were a few dozen of them!

He was immediately wild with joy inside. There was hope for the Scarlet Flame Drake to advance to epic-quality now!
