Betrayed by the Succubus, I Raise a Twelve-winged Angel

Chapter 370 - 371: Can Aster Grant Enhance Talent?

Snow Domain.

Inside the ice cave at the summit of Snow Kingdom’s peak.

Lilith looked at Snow Maiden, once again earnestly advising:

"Snowy, don’t be stubborn anymore. When Aster Grant comes to Snow Domain this time, sign a contract with him, okay?"

Snow Maiden lazily leaned against a chair carved from Cold Jade, her crystalline fingers gently tapping the armrest, a trace of helplessness appearing on her stunning face.

During this time, whenever she had a spare moment, Lilith would try various ways to persuade her to sign a contract with Aster Grant.

Coercion and enticement, appealing with emotion and reason, she had tried almost every method.

She raised her icy blue eyes, looking at the earnest Lilith, and asked a soul-piercing question:

"Lilith, you haven’t officially signed a contract with Aster Grant yourself yet."

"If I sign the first contract with him, what will you do then?"

She knew very well that when Aster Grant leveled up to Monarch Level, he only gained one more contract quota.

But if this quota went to her, it meant Lilith still couldn’t become Aster Grant’s official Beast.

And during this period, she had thoroughly understood her best friend’s thoughts.

She wanted more than just to become a Beast Tamer and Beast relationship with Aster Grant.

She wanted to go further!

But until now, the connection between them was merely a Blood Covenant.

Lilith was momentarily stunned by the question, opened her mouth, but was at a loss for words.

Though she also wanted a contract with Aster Grant, at the moment...

It was clear that between Snow Maiden and herself, only one choice could be made.

After thinking for a moment, Lilith replied:

"I’m not in a hurry, after all, Aster Grant and I have a Blood Covenant."

"I won’t rest easy if you’re all alone in the Snow Domain!"

"Now that the Snow Kingdom’s Guardian is gone, with your current strength, if a Totem Level from the Demon Clan shows up, you’d be done for!"

"So listen to me, when Aster Grant arrives in Snow Kingdom, sign a contract with him."

Lilith still chose to let Snow Maiden sign the contract first.

After all, Snow Maiden’s safety had to be guaranteed.

As someone with a Divine Pattern, she was bound to be a target for the Demon Clan.

Snow Maiden quietly listened, without immediately refuting, and she silently presented another real issue to Lilith:

"Yes, Lilith, have you thought about the fact that I’m now at the Totem Level."

"If I sign a contract with Aster Grant who is only at Monarch Level, my level will be forcibly suppressed to match his, falling to Monarch Level."

"Isn’t that a waste? You should know that the healing abilities of Monarch Level and Totem Level are vastly different."

Upon hearing this reasonable explanation, Lilith fell silent once more.

When a contract is signed with a Beast Tamer, the Beast’s level must align with the Beast Tamer’s.

Clearly, for Snow Maiden, this was a very poor deal.

Therefore, when Snow Maiden spoke up, Lilith couldn’t immediately find a suitable argument to persuade her.

However, Snow Maiden then spoke again:

"But, you’re right."

"If I continue to stay here, it’s irresponsible not only to myself but also to the Snow Wolf Clan."

"So, as long as Aster Grant can pass my test, I’ll sign a temporary contract with him."

"When Aster Grant breaks through to Totem Level, I’ll sign a permanent contract with him, how about that?"

Snow Maiden finally made a concession, and a weight lifted off Lilith’s heart.

As long as Snow Maiden was willing to sign a contract, temporary or not, they could cross that bridge later!

"By the way, do you know when Aster Grant will return to Snow Domain?"

Snow Maiden spoke again, leaving Lilith in silence once more.

She only shared a Blood Covenant with Aster Grant and could not sense his location at all.

This was the limitation of the Blood Covenant.

Aside from shared life between the two, it served no other function.

Seeing Lilith not respond, Snow Maiden shifted the topic:

"Aster Grant’s little cat girl has seemed not too well recently, and if this drags on, I’m afraid something might happen to her!"

Upon hearing this, Lilith also turned her gaze to the cat girl.

There, on a bed made of ice, little cat girl Sally lay quietly.

Around her body, the space exhibited a strange, twisted appearance.

It was as if she both existed in this space and drifted outside of it, giving an extremely unreal impression.

"What exactly is her ability? Now, even I, at Totem Level, can’t easily get close."

Snow Maiden said, casually forming a small snowball and gently tossing it towards Sally.

The snowball suddenly slowed when it approached a certain range around Sally, as if sinking into an invisible mire.

It finally halted mid-air, neither advancing nor falling.

Seeing this, a trace of astonishment flashed in Snow Maiden’s eyes.

When she personally tried to get closer, she encountered the same result; the nearer she got to Sally, the more she felt a powerful resistance, as if time in that area had become incredibly thick.

Lilith saw Snow Maiden ask, and she decided not to hide it anymore.

Previously, because the cat girl’s abilities were too extraordinary, she hadn’t told Snow Maiden.

But now.....

It’s not something she could hide any longer.

Moreover, she needed Snow Maiden to see what was actually wrong with the cat girl’s body.

"This little cat girl’s power seems related to time!"

Upon hearing this, Snow Maiden was abruptly taken aback.

What?

Related to time?

Her expression became slightly dazed.

She turned her head stiffly towards Lilith, only to see sincere seriousness in her eyes.

"You’re not deceiving me?"

Lilith shook her head.

Snow Maiden swallowed nervously.

She finally understood why Lilith always urged her to sign a contract with Aster Grant.

The creatures Aster Grant had contracted were a bunch of freaks, weren’t they?

Angel, Elf, Ghost Race!

The battle power of these three Beasts was beyond doubt; although they were Monarch Level, their actual combat strength already surpassed her.

And none of the other Beasts were weak.

The Princess of the Azurefox Clan, plus this time-manipulating cat girl.

Snow Maiden’s mouth twitched.

It seemed that among Aster Grant’s companions, Lilith’s standing was lower than expected.

And Lilith chose this moment to add fuel to the fire for Snow Maiden:

"The most important part..."

"Aster Grant seems to have a special ability to enhance his Beasts’ talent!"

"I witnessed that Angel, initially not as talented as I am, elevate far beyond me."

Hearing this news, Snow Maiden’s eyes widened once more.

Besides protecting Snow Kingdom, if there was anything else that could interest her,

it was enhancing her own talent.

Despite being lauded as the strongest healer in the Alternate Space,

she could clearly feel the limitations of her talent when manipulating the Healing Law.

Hearing that Aster Grant could enhance talent, her eyes instantly sparkled.

"Are you sure?"

"Absolutely!"

"Alright, as long as Aster Grant can prove he truly possesses the ability to enhance talent, I will sign a contract with him!"
