Chapter 175 - 114 Contract with the King of Sudden Death_1
```
"Meow! The Secret Realm you've entered is actually the Auxiliary Profession Breakthrough Realm!"
Manager Ying realized.
What are you doing, Infinite City?
To send such an unmatched battle force into the Auxiliary Profession Secret Realm.
Isn't that wasting people's time and potential?
But logically, entering such a mismatched profession realm, Lu Ran should be frustrated.
However, looking at Lu Ran, why does he seem so happy instead?
"So you... did very well?"
"Yeah, after the trials of the Secret Realm, there probably aren't many beast-training chefs in Xia Country who can outdo me now."
Manager Ying: ???
It suspected that Lu Ran was joking, but had no evidence.
"Ah, let's talk later. Manager Ying, could you please teleport us to the depths of Jade Mountain?" Lu Ran, holding the Attribute Crystal from the table, said impatiently, "I'm planning to fuse the crystal with King of Sudden Death right now."
"I've been looking forward to it for a month."
"Oh, you're going to contract it." Manager Ying pondered for a moment, although it really didn't want to indulge Lu Ran's behavior of constantly asking for teleportation, but Lu Ran had just said he would treat it to fish... Would it seem petty if it refused him outright now?
After hesitating, Manager Ying pursed its lips but still proceeded with the teleportation, taking Lu Ran and King of Sudden Death to the depths of Jade Mountain.
"This is the last time."
Meanwhile, Xiao Ling who had just brewed some tea, saw the empty seats and, holding the tea, also fell into thought... Where are the people, the lizard, and the cat manager?
...
Deep in Jade Mountain.
Lu Ran took out the Contract Card issued by the Breakthrough Secret Realm.
At this moment, the Contract Card had already been upgraded by Lu Ran using 11 Upgrade Cards twice. Its quality had reached the same level as Mr. Husky's Contract Card.
Before infusing King of Sudden Death with the Fusion Trait, he needed to contract it first, and Lu Ran looked towards King of Sudden Death who was expectantly waiting.
"Roar!!"
Next to him, Manager Ying yawned, probably from staying up several nights playing video games.
Lu Ran threw the Contract Card, casting it towards King of Sudden Death. When the Contract Card approached King of Sudden Death, it was absorbed into the card engulfed in radiant light.
Although King of Sudden Death was as high as Level 19, because the quality of the Contract Card was sufficiently high, and it also had no intention of resisting the contract, the process of Lu Ran taming it was incredibly easy.
Soon, the Contract Card stabilized and was summoned back into Lu Ran's hand.
The moment the contract was completed, Lu Ran's physique was further enhanced, and above that, there was a mental link with King of Sudden Death. This contract connection would let them share in glory and damage.
[Species]: Stone Dragon
[Attribute]: Thunder
[Species Level]: Advanced Extraordinary
[Growth Level]: Level 20
[Skills]: Thunder Armor (Thunder Energy Shaping), Lightning Shield (Thunder Energy Shaping)
Compared to Mr. Husky, the information about King of Sudden Death on the Contract Card is much simpler.
The only two skills are of the same type, which are all done through Thunder Energy Shaping for self-armor.
The skill level is roughly equivalent to Mr. Husky's Wings of Wind and Sword of Wind, not very advanced.
This is also because King of Sudden Death's talent isn't focused on learning ability but on physical fitness.
Currently, most high-species Pet Beasts on the Divine Pet List are in this state, with highly insightful Pet Beasts being quite rare.
"Level 20!" Lu Ran was in a great mood. He hadn't even fed the Mutated Dragon Fish yet, but King of Sudden Death had completed its growth transformation on its own due to the feedback from their contract, saving him a lot of trouble.
Well... he could postpone treating the cat to fish, first to the Fusion of Traits!
"Not easy, this guy's meals this month might even have been better than Mr. Husky's." Even if Lu Ran was generous, his foundation could not possibly exceed a League's highly valued Special Experimental Area, and Zhao Chen must have invested a lot in King of Sudden Death.
After all, Mr. Husky has only grown to Level 16. There's still a four-level difference to reach Level 20, of course, it could also be due to different growth speeds among species.
"Roar!!"
After completing the contract and having the thought, Lu Ran summoned King of Sudden Death again, and along with it, he summoned Mr. Husky.
"Woof!"
After arriving, Mr. Husky narrowed its eyes and smiled, happy to see King of Sudden Death again.
"Waka!" King of Sudden Death greeted Mr. Husky.
"You two stop bonding for now. First, fuse the attributes, and after you're done, you'll spar with each other."
Hearing about sparring, Mr. Husky became excited, while King of Sudden Death went dark.
Despite its recent arrogance, facing Mr. Husky, it couldn't be haughty.
After all, Mr. Husky is the ferocious dog that doesn't even blink when using tenfold energy compression skills.
At this moment, Lu Ran first took out the Red Lightning Characteristic Crystal, which he couldn't fuse before but now could use.
```
Lu Ran remained motionless, directly throwing the Trait Crystal at King of Sudden Death. Just like the Contract Card, when the Trait Crystal touched the body of King of Sudden Death, it instantly wrapped in a red halo, and then quickly merged into its body as if it were hitting the surface of the water!
[A lizard with astonishing defensive talent fuses with the body-strengthening Red Lightning Trait.]
At the side, Manager Ying glanced over. For some reason, at this moment, Lu Ran, Mr. Husky, and Manager Ying felt as if they could hear the thunderous heartbeat of King of Sudden Death.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Once the trait had fused into its body, King of Sudden Death's heart began to beat faster, the sound of its heartbeat was deafening, and it was so surprised that it instinctively covered its chest.
Whether it was because of the powerful aftereffects of its heartbeat, in the next moment, King of Sudden Death's body also began to tremble, and alongside the trembling of its body, red arcs of electricity started to burst forth around it!
"Roar!!"
Unable to bear it, King of Sudden Death let out a roar, but with the most intense vibration, there was a "boom," a massive thunder light, like an erupting volcano, burst out from the body of King of Sudden Death, enveloped in red electrical currents, shooting up several meters high. In an instant, the entire forest was turned into a scene of wondrous bewitchment.
At this moment, King of Sudden Death could clearly sense that its thunder energy and its physique were undergoing tremendous enhancement. It couldn't help but be astonished and delighted. At this moment, it seemed to see the figure of Mr. Husky wielding his sword,
The strong boost in its attributes was giving it the thought, "That sword might not be out of reach."
It wanted to obtain the strongest defense, a defense strong enough to disregard all attacks!
Under the intensity of such a notion, the amazing thunder energy erupting from King of Sudden Death's body actually began to shape on the outside, similar to the phenomenon of Myriad Sword Homing that had occurred when Mr. Husky fused with his traits. Some degree of energy phenomenon also appeared on King of Sudden Death.
Manager Ying looked on with a slight turn of her eye, while Lu Ran and Mr. Husky watched intently.
They saw that the thunder light spreading six or seven meters from King of Sudden Death slowly took shape into a burly apparition!!
This shadow was clearly discernable as the monstrous form of King of Sudden Death. It was as if it was infinitely nesting, shaping another image of itself outside its body, and this burly apparition was also covered in a layer of thick energy armor, like a Thunder War God!
Double-layer protection!
"Well, I'll be," Manager Ying couldn't help but exclaim speechlessly upon seeing this.
The red thunderous monster's shadow, enveloping the true King of Sudden Death with red eyes and black scales, moved in perfect sync with every move that King of Sudden Death made, the apparition too began to act.
Although it only knew one type of skill, it was as if it had played with a variety of them.
It was not until this moment, when the fusion of traits was complete, that Lu Ran couldn't help but look towards its information!
[Race]: Armor Lizard
[Attribute]: Thunder
[Species Level]: Low-level Leadership
[Growth Level]: Level 20
[Fusion Traits]: Red Lightning
[Racial Talent]: Absolute Defense (Creatures with this talent have heart electricity with self-awareness, capable of more keenly sensing external dangers, actively defending, and in the event of receiving a fatal blow far exceeding their own endurance, the heart electricity stimulates the entire body, unleashing all biological potential for a blood-locking.)
[Skills]: Thunder Armor, Lightning Shield
"Absolute Defense?"
As Lu Ran looked at King of Sudden Death's awakened racial talent, he was speechless, wanted to laugh yet found it unsurprising. Boy, you're clearly of the Thunder Attribute, and you've got the Thunder Attribute Trait, yet you've forcefully awakened a defensive talent!! n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
You're something else!
From what Lu Ran knew, Thunder Attribute Pet Beasts that fused with Thunder Attribute Traits usually have racial talents that enhance skill destructive power or speed. He never expected King of Sudden Death to awaken a self-defense and blood-locking racial talent.
Now, it would be hard for King of Sudden Death to be suddenly killed; even when facing a high-level creature's attack, while Mr. Husky would be dead, it could still lock a drop of blood and struggle to survive a few more seconds.
"ROAR!!!!"
At that moment, looking at the burly shadow of King of Sudden Death, Lu Ran couldn't help saying, "Okay, okay, dissipate the energy armor already. Shaping such a huge set of armor, aren't you wasting energy!"
"ROAR!!" King of Sudden Death obediently dissipated it, returning to its upright lizard form of about the same height as Lu Ran, and scratched its head as if to say it was no big deal.
Having just begun to fuse traits, King of Sudden Death's appearance hadn't changed much at this time; its pupils simply had an additional lightning mark. Lu Ran, subsequently, couldn't help but take out a Domineering Body Trait Crystal, intending to further enhance King of Sudden Death.
The effect of the Red Lightning Characteristic Crystal was to strengthen the Thunder and Lightning energy, and when the body was subjected to Thunder and Lightning attacks, it would enhance its physique.
On the other hand, the Domineering Body Trait Crystal's effect was more straightforward and brutal: it directly reduced damage from enemy attacks, gaining unparalleled defensive power.
Compared to the anomalies produced during the fusion with the Red Lightning Trait, this fusion produced more practical effects. Under the glow of the dark red light, its body became stronger and larger, and the hardness of each scale received a new round of reinforcement.
Starting with a Domineering Body plus Absolute Defense, King of Sudden Death's future battles would surely be very tactically sophisticated.
Lu Ran tossed out the Domineering Body Trait Crystal, and with the previous fusion experience, King of Sudden Death handled it even more calmly.
Compared to the anomalies produced during the fusion with the Red Lightning Trait, this fusion produced more practical effects. Under the glow of the dark red light, its body became stronger and larger, and the hardness of each scale received a new round of reinforcement.
In an instant, King of Sudden Death, now standing nearly three meters tall, looked full of strength, with its scales turned into multiple layers — this time, it truly resembled a monster.
"ROAR!!!!" It spat out red lightning arcs from its mouth, and each black scale reflected the luster of an overlord. Its tail struck the ground, and the earth trembled resoundingly.
It could be said that, apart from needing wings, it already wasn't much different from a giant dragon.
Even through this minor evolution, the dragon food nutrients it continuously ingested seemed to have been activated, leading it to evolve into a Sub-Dragon!
[Race]: Scale Armor Dragon Lizard
[Attribute]: Thunder
[Species Level]: Intermediate Leadership
[Growth Level]: Level 20
[Fusion Traits]: Red Lightning, Domineering Body
[Racial Talent]: Absolute Defense, Overlord's Heart (A true Overlord does not care about the provocations of weaker beings, nor will they shy away from conflict. Creatures with the Overlord's Heart, when they have accumulated a certain degree of damage, can reflect all the damage received several times over in a retaliatory strike! The more damage they take, the stronger their next attack's destructive power!)
