Divine Beast Creator

Chapter 2354 - 2355: Combat Test

Originally, Feng Yuan planned to use Agunas as a test opponent, but he happened to catch Huo Feng, who was taking a short break after returning to the team.

The battle ground of the Special Duty Team matches the highest standard battle arena in Maomu City. Although it cannot withstand battles at Agunas’s level, it’s more than enough for Feng Yuan’s Xiao Ji and Fluffy Fire Wolfhound.

"I’m ready to start anytime!"

Huo Feng shouted at Feng Yuan, glanced at Xiao Ji and Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, and Feng Yuan said

"Alright, then... Let the battle begin!"

As both sides moved, Gululing’s domain automatically unfolded, and the Lost Magic realm caused the environment around Xiao Ji and Fluffy Fire Wolfhound to change, with various untouchable magic circles floating in the air, slowly rotating and flashing.

The Fluffy Fire Wolfhound howled, deploying the Round Moon Forest Domain, unlike regular domains that overlap and cause the previous domain to be covered. The Round Moon Forest Domain did not overlay the domain, and the peculiar magic circles even integrated into the Round Moon Forest, floating atop the treetops, and even the moon had an extra special magic circle.

Xiao Ji began to apply status to itself, but at this moment, Huo Feng’s Flame Wolfhound and Stray Samurai Monkey had already charged forward, the Flame Wolfhound carrying flames in its mouth, charging into the Round Moon Forest Domain and using its effects to launch multiple attacks on Xiao Ji.

The Stray Samurai Monkey acted slightly later than the Flame Wolfhound, but it employed a special ultimate move, Crumbling Dissolution. This auxiliary move, primarily focused on disrupting the weather, belongs to a rare breaking-type ultimate move, and even though the Round Moon Forest Domain has the characteristic of self-expansion once, it couldn’t withstand the breaking-type ultimate move.

The Round Moon Forest Domain shattered instantly, Xiao Ji managed only to max out its status before losing the Round Moon Forest Domain’s support.

However, unlike the Round Moon Forest Domain, the Lost Magic realm was unaffected by Crumbling Dissolution. In fact, as Xiao Ji used an ultimate move, a magic circle lit up, and Xiao Ji flapped its wings to fly into the sky, evading the Flame Wolfhound’s subsequent pursuit.

Although it initially took three fireballs due to the status enhancement, once it regained the ability to act, Xiao Ji flew up just in time to avoid the following fireballs.

Xiao Ji didn’t know what the randomly drawn Lost Magic was, yet since this was a test, it unhesitatingly activated the Lost Magic.

A magic circle of bright yellow lit up, a breeze blew through, no flashy effects, as if nothing had happened, but the change couldn’t deceive Feng Yuan and Huo Feng.

"It’s supposed to be a buff, but got a debuff effect instead?"

Feng Yuan naturally noticed that Huo Feng’s two beasts were both negatively affected, and not just slightly, otherwise, he wouldn’t have detected their influence.

As Xiao Ji activated Lost Magic, the Flame Wolfhound’s attack power diminished significantly, though it wasn’t directly apparent just looking at its performance.

Obviously, this concealment had limited effect on Feng Yuan. Even if the opponent was pretending, Feng Yuan could roughly guess its impact, likely through attack, speed, defense, these aspects being weakened.

However, the randomness in the extraction of Lost Magic seemed inappropriate to Feng Yuan. Although the weakening effect wasn’t bad, many beasts possess the ability to transfer status. Facing such beasts, it’s absolutely inadvisable to apply status to them easily, as one might painstakingly accumulate negative statuses and the opponent could transfer them back, which would be troublesome.

"Fluffy Fire Wolfhound can’t extract Lost Magic, seems like deploying the Crystal Stone Domain doesn’t count."

Looking at Fluffy Fire Wolfhound, Feng Yuan mused to himself, the extraction of Lost Magic seems only activated through the use of ultimate moves, but Feng Yuan didn’t really favor this random extraction of Lost Magic.

The subsequent battle situation was more or less as Feng Yuan estimated. Xiao Ji used Netherworld Wind, yet the Lost Magic extracted the Ghost Series environment effect. Fluffy Fire Wolfhound unleashed Flamestorm, and the Lost Magic extracted a Fire-element healing magic. In Feng Yuan’s view, that thing was really gambling on luck.

Considering Drudgeon’s inherent strength, Feng Yuan found it normal; after all, Domain Spirit Beasts are born from the authority of Divine Beasts, Drudgeon’s authority naturally less potent than top-level Divine Beasts, and Gululing’s universality evidently sacrifices other aspects to possess it.

"This Domain Spirit Beast..."

After the battle ended, Huo Feng walked over, puzzled, looking at Gululing on Feng Yuan’s shoulder. Initially, he thought it would be something formidable like the Crystal Stone Domain, but it turned out...

"Gululing’s domain effect has some issues, too reliant on luck, but it’s not without merit. For instance, during a melee battle, it can still be useful."

Feng Yuan chuckled and said, Gululing’s domain is too unstable for direct battle, one never knows if an internal enemy magic might be drawn. Thus, Feng Yuan thinks this domain is most suitable for chaotic battles.

After all, internal enemy moves often occur in chaotic battles, so in these tumultuous scenes, the disruptive effect of Lost Magic isn’t lacking. If luck is favorable, one might draw Lost Magic that instantaneously changes the situation.

"Next, let’s try this little one’s domain."

Placing Gululing atop the Big Cat’s head, Feng Yuan picked up Time Ruby Spirit and placed it on his shoulder. Noticing the contract’s glow, Huo Feng curiously asked

"Does this contract change have no time limit?"

"Seems not, it can be changed anytime, but repeatedly modifying contracts even without consumption, they might get angry."

Feng Yuan thought for a moment and spoke, despite changing the contracts many times, Feng Yuan felt no weakening; domain contracts don’t seem to have a post-release weakening period like Spirit Beast Contracts.

Yet, considering further, it’s not surprising. Domain Spirit Beasts don’t provide power, nor do they have a Spirit Beast Space to rest, they just independently unfold their domains during battles, thus, it’s normal not to have backlash like with Taming Beast Contracts and Spirit Beast Contracts.

Perhaps due to Gululing’s underwhelming performance, Huo Feng didn’t hold high expectations for Time Ruby Spirit either, yet this time Time Ruby Spirit delivered a surprise.

As the battle started, the Nether Soil field burning with earthfire immediately gave him a critical surprise, although the domain itself didn’t manifest physically or result in earthfire causing harm to Huo Feng’s beasts.

However, the domain’s effect was simple and direct, dramatically enhancing Xiao Ji and Fluffy Fire Wolfhound’s ultimate moves.

Even when Fluffy Fire Wolfhound used Flame Jet, Netherfire entwined with the flames, creating a Netherfire Jet imbued with Soul Attack.

Compared to Gululing’s domain, Time Ruby Spirit’s domain proved quite troublesome for Huo Feng, even allowing Xiao Ji and the others to seize the chance to defeat his beasts.

"This Time Ruby Spirit..."

Approaching Feng Yuan, Huo Feng curiously inspected the Time Ruby Spirit on his shoulder, compared to Gululing which relied entirely on luck, in his view, Time Ruby Spirit met his expectations for Domain Spirit Beasts, at least with strength and distinction.

"Tamur’s Domain Spirit Beast, if you want, ask it. As for promotion, I feel it’s unlikely."

Feng Yuan shrugged and replied, Tamur might gift a couple of Time Ruby Spirits for his sake, but seeking cooperation for promotion within a specific area is almost impossible.

Not considering there aren’t many Domain Spirit Beasts around, even if there were, it’s beyond Feng Yuan’s authority.

"True..."

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Huo Feng realized why Feng Yuan hadn’t mentioned it earlier, it’s due to the special relationship between Drudgeon and Yognot, they wouldn’t refuse Gululing’s promotion in Maomu City.

But Tamur is different, having no connection with Maomu City, even if there were, it would be due to Feng Yuan, hence they couldn’t casually hand over Domain Spirit Beasts.

"Domain Spirit Beasts might become objects of their pursuit."

Huo Feng remarked while looking at the Time Ruby Spirit on Feng Yuan’s shoulder, if it were just Gululing, it would be manageable, but with Time Ruby Spirit’s effect... hard not to be tempted.

"They might be tempted, but every Domain Spirit Beast is under the aegis of a Mythical Era Divine Beast, their temptation is in vain."

Spreading his hands, Feng Yuan was unconcerned, jokingly saying that Domain Spirit Beasts aren’t helpless creatures but backed by Mythical Era’s Divine Beasts, average folks shouldn’t think of targeting them.

"Won’t you try the other one?"

Seeing Feng Yuan having no intention to continue battling, Huo Feng asked out of curiosity, looking at the Camel Mountain Turtle, and Feng Yuan shrugged, saying

"Can’t try it, though Camel Mountain Turtle’s enhancement is the strongest, unfortunately, it has attribute limitations, Xiao Ji and the others don’t meet Camel Mountain Turtle’s attribute."
