Chapter 440 - 253: Luminous Beauty Butterfly

Chapter 440: Chapter 253: Luminous Beauty Butterfly

Zhong Yi checked the price of the Mire Poison Rain Moss—150 Divine Origin Value.

For a Guardian Beast that had yet to be cultivated, the price wasn’t expensive.

This was because a Guardian Beast’s strength depended on two things: on one hand, its own genetic bloodline,

and on the other, its post-acquisition cultivation, which were inextricably linked.

Just as Zhong Yi was purchasing the Mire Poison Rain Moss, he heard Liu Shu suddenly remark with a sigh,

"Speaking of Poison Attribute Guardian Beasts, the Blood Rang Ecosystem has many Guardian Beast Masters who command them."

"The Lord of Ecology of the Blood Rang Ecosystem has an Elemental Type Poison Attribute Guardian Beast under his command."

"If you’re looking for an outstanding Poison Attribute Guardian Beast, you could try searching in the Blood Rang Ecosystem."

Liu Shu’s words were merely an offhand remark.

But Zhong Yi committed them to memory.

When the time came for Shen Xuan to choose a faction to join on the Virtual Source Network,

Zhong Yi planned to have him select one from the Blood Rang Ecosystem.

As Shen Xuan’s strength grew, he would surely develop his own insights and ideas about combat.

After choosing this Mire Poison Rain Moss for Shen Xuan, Zhong Yi wouldn’t proactively select any more Guardian Beasts for him.

Instead, he would let Shen Xuan choose which Guardian Beasts to Contract based on his own future development path.

"Ah Yi, the Radiant Ecosystem is quite abundant in Butterfly Guardian Beasts."

"There are many Functional Guardian Beast types of butterflies here!"

"Didn’t I say before that I wanted to give you a Guardian Beast? Most of the Guardian Beasts here are priced no more than 500 Divine Origin Value."

"But the price of this particular Butterfly Guardian Beast has been set at 5,500 Divine Origin Value."

"The reason for such a price is that this Luminous Beauty Butterfly is already on the verge of death. Its life force is overdrawn with absolutely no chance of recovery."

"If that weren’t the case, I wouldn’t have placed this Luminous Beauty Butterfly in the Chasing Light Dragon Palace’s Treasure Vault as a benefit for our internal members."

"This Luminous Beauty Butterfly is just one step away from awakening the Beauty Goddess Butterfly Bloodline."

"You chose that Crownless Fruit, so this dying Luminous Beauty Butterfly should be a perfect fit."

"With just a bit of pure Death Qi and some Dead Souls as a catalyst, this dying Luminous Beauty Butterfly can transform into one of the Undead Creatures."

Zhong Yi could sense that Liu Shu held this dying Luminous Beauty Butterfly in extremely high regard.

’Liu Shu wouldn’t lie to me!’

Besides, the price of this Luminous Beauty Butterfly said it all.

Zhong Yi’s gaze fell upon the open page of another booklet in Liu Shu’s hand.

With a single glance, Zhong Yi gained a true understanding of the Beauty Goddess Butterfly’s Bloodline.

The butterfly’s wings shimmered with dozens of silver-blue and translucent pink hues, reflecting a cellophane-like light.

Its beauty was truly difficult to describe with words!

And this was before the Luminous Beauty Butterfly had even awakened its Beauty Goddess Butterfly Bloodline.

According to the description in the booklet, this Luminous Beauty Butterfly was not a Mortal Beast Tier Guardian Beast.

It was an Extraordinary Tier Silver Quality Guardian Beast.

A Guardian Beast of such a high Level was not suitable for a Guardian Beast Master to Contract directly.

However, for his Reincarnation Nether Butterfly, which had obtained the Rule Authority of the Eternal Life of the Fallen Crown, controlling it would pose no obstacle at all.

Having already advanced to Extraordinary Tier Silver Quality, the Reincarnation Nether Butterfly was perfectly capable of controlling this Luminous Beauty Butterfly.

Zhong Yi didn’t need to use All Things Exploration; he could see the Luminous Beauty Butterfly’s stats right in the booklet.

After carefully examining the Luminous Beauty Butterfly’s data:

[Guardian Beast Name]: Luminous Beauty Butterfly

[Guardian Beast Species]: Luminous Butterfly Species/Beauty Butterfly

[Guardian Beast Level]: Extraordinary Tier (9/10)

[Guardian Beast Type]: Soul Element

[Guardian Beast Quality]: Silver Quality

Skills:

[Pearl Butterfly Dance]: The butterfly’s wings radiate light as it dances gracefully. It uses its Bloodline through the dance to lower a designated target’s Combat Will and has a chance to apply a Charm status effect.

[Pearl’s Pity Soul Stealing]: Units Charmed by this Guardian Beast in combat cannot deal damage to it. If a target is already Charmed, attacking its soul has a chance to place the target into a state of Deep Charm.

Exclusive Traits:

[Soul Butterfly Protection]: Every time a target is Charmed, a Soul Butterfly is conjured. The Soul Butterfly can either provide protection to a designated target’s soul or replenish the user’s own consumed Soul Power.

[Swarm of Butterflies]: For every butterfly-type Creature within a designated area, it can absorb a portion of that Creature’s soul to bolster its own. (If the user is not killed after combat, the absorbed souls will be returned to their original bodies.)

Zhong Yi now understood why Liu Shu had said that if it weren’t on the verge of death with no hope of recovery, he would never have considered placing this Luminous Beauty Butterfly in the Chasing Light Dragon Palace’s Treasure Vault.

If it were him, Zhong Yi would never trade away a Guardian Beast like this either.

Under normal circumstances, a Functional Guardian Beast’s abilities tend to focus on a single aspect.

For example, the Gale Sky Flash Butterfly that Zhong Ling had a Contract with excelled in both defense and support.

A Functional Guardian Beast with more than one function was already considered top-tier among its kind.

This Luminous Beauty Butterfly, from the Luminous Butterfly Species and Beauty Butterfly genus, was exactly such a top-tier Functional Guardian Beast.

The Beauty Butterfly Bloodline was exceptionally skilled at Charm, and this Luminous Beauty Butterfly’s Basic Skill, Pearl Butterfly Dance, used the brilliant colors of its wings, its fluttering dance, and its Bloodline as a medium, bringing about the Dissolution of an enemy’s Combat Will.

Once Combat Will is weakened, overall combat effectiveness is greatly diminished.

For instance, an ordinary person with no Combat Will would be afraid of a stray dog that doesn’t even reach their shins.
