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

Chapter 375 - 376: Intercepting the Demon Clan!

"Eh?"

Hearing Aster Grant agree so straightforwardly, even with Snow Maiden’s cold temperament, she couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment.

A flash of disbelief flickered in her ice-blue eyes, and she instinctively reconfirmed:

"You... you really agree?"

Aster Grant nodded.

"Of course! I always keep my word."

"However..."

He hesitated slightly, as if weighing his next words.

This subtle pause instantly set Lilith and Snow Maiden’s hearts on edge, fearing he might propose some difficult terms.

"However, to help you improve your talent, we must first find materials."

"Therefore, I can’t promise to assist you immediately."

Upon hearing Aster Grant’s words, Lilith and Snow Maiden’s hearts were finally at ease, exhaling a breath of relief.

They proposed this condition not to force Aster Grant to fulfill it immediately.

More to gain a clear commitment.

They trusted Aster Grant’s character, believing that once he promised something, he would never break it.

Seeing Aster Grant agree so readily to all her conditions, the last bit of concern in Snow Maiden’s heart dissipated.

A trace of faint warmth seemed to melt on her icy countenance.

Since an agreement had been reached, Snow Maiden hesitated no longer.

She gracefully raised her wrist, her fingertips tracing a faintly discernible snow rune.

The next moment, a wave of spiritual power, like an invisible ripple, spread through the entire Snow Wolf Clan’s settlement, clearly echoing in the minds of every Snow Wolf clansman.

"From today on, I am Aster Grant’s bonded beast, and the entire Snow Wolf Clan will merge with the Human Race!"

Upon hearing this news, the Snow Wolf Clan of the Snow Kingdom was instantly thrown into an uproar.

"Ah? How did Snow Maiden become Master Aster Grant’s bonded beast?"

"Although I greatly admire Master Aster Grant, compared to Snow Maiden..."

"And we have to merge with the Human Race? Are we going to leave the Snow Domain where we’ve lived for generations?"

Whispering voices persistently arose.

Hearing these voices, Shirley was momentarily stunned.

Then, she took a deep breath, her resonant voice echoing throughout the Snow Wolf Clan.

"Snow Wolf Clan, heed my command!"

As Shirley’s voice rang out, all the discussions ceased.

Then Shirley’s voice resounded again:

"The mission of the Snow Wolf Clan is to protect Snow Maiden! Follow Snow Maiden’s orders!"

"Now that Snow Maiden has commanded us to ally with the Human Race..."

"We must comply with Snow Maiden’s order!"

"Even if it means leaving the Snow Domain, we will not hesitate!"

"Besides, Master Aster Grant is a great benefactor who saved the entire Snow Kingdom, don’t you trust Master Aster Grant?"

As Shirley’s words concluded, the entire Snow Wolf Clan fell silent.

Then voices began to rise:

"We agree!"

"Agree with Snow Maiden’s arrangement!"

"It’s just merging with the Human Race, I believe Master Aster Grant won’t let us be bullied!"

And upon hearing these voices, Shirley respectfully conveyed the will of the entire Snow Wolf Clan to Snow Maiden.

However...

She was still somewhat in shock.

It should be known that, upon first meeting him, she had taken Aster Grant back to the Snow Kingdom by force.

But upon their second meeting...

They had already become subordinates of Aster Grant, and even her respected Snow Maiden had become his bonded beast.

...

At the peak of the Snow Kingdom.

Feeling the will of the Snow Wolf Clan, Snow Maiden was also reassured.

Now...

Her beautiful eyes rested upon Aster Grant.

"Let us begin the contract!"

For the entire Snow Maiden Clan, this was the first time to acknowledge a human as master.

Snow Maiden inevitably felt a tinge of nervousness.

And at this moment, Aster Grant nodded.

He slowly raised his right hand, palm up, focusing his thoughts.

At that moment, a temporary contract array, complex and mysterious, emitting a faint blue glow, slowly emerged from his palm, rotating while emitting strange energy waves.

Simultaneously, Snow Maiden extended her snow-carved slender hand, gently touching Aster Grant’s palm.

The blue contract array enveloped the two instantly.

In the next moment, Aster Grant clearly felt a cold spiritual power entering his spiritual sea.

This spiritual power belonged to Snow Maiden!

With Aster Grant’s spiritual power, the entire contracting process went incredibly smoothly!

As the contract was completed, Aster Grant also released his hand.

Snow Maiden’s hand felt exceptionally unique, like top-quality cold jade, icy and delicate, yet devoid of coldness, instead providing a strange kind of comfort.

Afterward, Aster Grant began to discuss his arrangements with Snow Maiden.

"Now, the Demon Clan will certainly not let go of the Divine Pattern you possess."

"Therefore..."

"I plan to have the Snow Wolf Clan temporarily leave the Snow Domain and head toward the Human Race’s territory!"

"I know that in places outside the Snow Domain, the Snow Wolf Clan’s cultivation speed and strength are greatly reduced."

"But I promise, after we completely neutralize the threat of the Demon Clan, whether the Snow Wolf Clan stays or leaves will be entirely up to you, and I will not interfere."

Snow Maiden naturally understood the stakes involved, and Aster Grant’s arrangement was reasonable and fair; she had no objections.

After reaching an agreement, preparations were made to lead the entire Snow Wolf Clan toward the Human Race.

But at this moment, Lilith suddenly spoke:

"Aster Grant, your level is still at King Second Tier, right?"

Aster Grant looked at Lilith, somewhat puzzled.

"That’s right!"

"Would you like to level up?"

Upon hearing this, Aster Grant became intrigued.

Although the Divine Pattern no longer absorbed energy acquired from slaying Demons...

He now had too many bonded beasts.

Each level-up required every bonded beast to absorb a portion of energy.

Leading to...

The energy needed for each level-up far exceeding that of an ordinary King Second Tier Beast Tamer.

Even the last Totem Level Demon slain...

Was not enough to elevate his level from King Second Tier to Monarch Tier Three.

Now hearing Lilith mention leveling up, Aster Grant’s spirits instantly lifted.

Lilith didn’t keep him in suspense and spoke directly:

"Since I arrived at the Snow Domain, I’ve had several Half-Step Totem Level Blood Clan members monitor the Demon Domain!"

"Recently, there’s been a discovery!"

Aster Grant immediately gestured for Lilith to continue.

"I’ve discovered that the Demon Clan seems to have gathered a significant amount of power, and their destination..."

As she spoke, Lilith’s gaze landed on Aster Grant.

Aster Grant instantly understood Lilith’s implication.

"The Human Race!" he blurted out.

Lilith nodded.

"Precisely!"

Hearing this news, Aster Grant’s eyes became instantly grave.

Even Lilith mentioned a large portion, meaning...

The power amassed by the Demon Clan was truly significant!

But regarding the power increase Lilith mentioned...

Lilith continued speaking:

"However..."

"Among the forces gathered by the Demon Clan, the strongest are only a few Totem Tier Three."

"Can you handle those few Totem Tier Three, then shall we have a go?"

As she said this,

Lilith’s eyes revealed a hint of bloodlust.

For the Blood Clan, the battlefield was their favorite.

Especially such incredibly massive battlefields.

And at this moment, Aster Grant also understood Lilith’s meaning clearly.

Before the Demon Clan reaches the Human Race...

Intercept them!
