Sovereign of the Firmaments

That's right!

The speed at which the rainbow water python was regenerating the missing portion of its body was clearly visible to Lucas' eyes.

'Even though I already know about its regenerating skill, I never thought it would regenerate at such an incredible speed.'

Lucas was excited when he saw the regeneration speed of the water python.

The thing is, the skill he wanted from the rainbow water python was its regeneration; however, according to the general information on the rainbow water pythons, it should not have such a crazy regeneration speed.

"Anyway, I don't have time to do experiments to check its regeneration skill."

However, Lucas knew he didn't have much time as the nearby spirit beasts would be rushing towards this place soon.

So, he didn't bother to collect more data on the rainbow water python's regeneration speed and decided to kill it.

'To kill a rainbow water python, I need to slice seven inches below its head.'

As the spirit beast that he was going to sacrifice, Lucas knew how to kill it. So, he quickly sliced it exactly seven inches from its head.

'Ding,

          Congratulations to the host for successfully killing a peak rank 4 spirit beast.

'Ding,

          Detected it is a special spirit beast that was about to complete its evolution. The host is rewarded with 1000 sovereign points by evaluating the spirit beast as a rank 5 spirit beast.

'Ding, 

        Do you want to sacrifice it to become a general knight?

'Huh? 1000 sovereign points?'

Generally, a rank 4 spirit beast should only give 100 sovereign points. So, when he saw 1000 sovereign points, he could not help but reveal a smile.

'Yes. I want to sacrifice it.'

As for the other things, Lucas had already gotten used to it and checked the skill he was eyeing from the list of the skills.

'Ding,

        Please select a skill from the following skills.

        1) Rainbow mist has been modified into Rainbow aura.

        2) Python coil has been modified into Knight's binding.

        .. 

        ..

        ..

        6) Rapid rainbow regeneration (Passive) has remained the same.

Since Lucas had already decided the skill he wanted from the rainbow water python, he only took a quick glance at the skills to see if there were any special skills.

However, there was a special skill and coincidentally it was the skill he decided to pick.

Generally, a rainbow water python has the skill 'Rainbow regeneration'; however, the rainbow water python he killed was obviously a special one. So, the skill was mutated into 'Rapid rainbow regeneration'.

'Roar'

As Lucas was getting excited to see the skill he badly wanted was mutated, he heard the loud roars of the spirit beasts from the distance.

"Damn it….they are already."

Lucas cursed that rushing spirit beasts before selecting the skill, 'I choose 'Rapid rainbow regeneration'.'

'Ding,

        The skill [Rapid rainbow regeneration] is added to the Knight's skill set. Please check the full information on the skill in the user interface.

'I don't have the luxury to check.'

Lucas shook his head as he hurriedly stored the rainbow water python's corpse in the inventory before running away from the place.

'Thud'

'Thud'

'Roar'

Just as Lucas and Beck rain away from that place, it was completely filled with rank 4 spirit beasts of various sizes.

Each one of them looked very powerful and looking at the hundreds of water pythons corpses on the ground, they could more or less guess that the small pond' owner had disappeared.

Soon, the rank 4 spirit beasts looked at each other and roared as though they were warning each other.

"Roar"

"Lowly rank 4 spirit beasts, just go away from here. It is not a place for you to compete."

Just when the rank 4 spirit beasts attacked among themselves, a voice came from the depths of the earl grounds, making all the rank 4 spirit beasts shiver.

"This place is going to be the battlefield for the rank 5 spirit beasts. So, if you don't want to get caught up in it, I suggest you leave right now."

"Hurry up and leave."

Soon, another two voices appeared from the depths of the earl grounds.

With the appearance of three rank 5 spirit beasts, the rank 4 spirit beasts didn't hesitate to run away from that place.

"So, how are we going to do this?"

Once all the rank 4 spirit beasts ran away, one of the three rank 5 spirit beasts asked.

"Just like always. Whoever wins can get to keep this pond and the treasure inside it."

Another rank 5 spirit beast replied in an excited tone.

…

"I think this is enough."

At the periphery of the Earl grounds, Lucas and Beck stopped for a moment before looking back to see whether any spirit beasts were following them.

"It is enough, young master."

Beck nodded her head and said, "Congratulations, young master. You have successfully become a general knight now."

"Thank you but there is still something I need to do."

Lucas thanked Beck before rushing in a specific direction without waiting for Beck because he was running out of time to sacrifice his second spirit beast.

'Ding,

          The host has 50 minutes left for his second spirit beast tribute.

'Swoosh'

Behind him, Beck also followed trying to catch up to Lucas; however, Lucas' speed was higher than Beck and she had a hard time catching up to him.

'Huh? Judging from the direction, I think I know where he is going.'

After running behind Lucas for a while, Beck was able to guess where Lucas was running off to and wondered, 'Why was he in such a hurry to kill the second spirit beast? It's not like that spirit beast will run away.'

Nevertheless, she could only follow behind Lucas, hoping he would not get into trouble.

"Currently, I lack a powerful attack skill that could crack the shell of that black tortoise. If I get that skill, my chances of defeating that Black tortoise will greatly increase."

While running, Lucas thought about the Black tortoise boss in the [Fighting arena] and the skill he was about to get.
