Betrayed by the Succubus, I Raise a Twelve-winged Angel-Chapter 213: The True Divine Pattern!

Under the deliberate search by Vera, Lazuli, and Scarlett...

The demon clan within the sanctum was also swiftly cleared by the three.

"Boom——!!"

As Veridia’s punch took care of the last demon, the entire sanctum was cleared of the demon clan.

In the instant the last demon perished, an abrupt change occurred...

Once again, a portal appeared in the sky, vastly different from the previous golden gate, this one emitted a faint blue glow.

After discussing with Lilith and Aster Grant carefully observing it, they finally confirmed:

This was not the exit from the sanctum, but the path to the true Divine Pattern!

Exchanging a glance with a few beastbonds, Aster Grant did not hesitate and stepped right in.

In an instant, the world spun and twisted.

When his vision refocused, the scene before him left Aster Grant breathless.

They were standing on a mysterious platform suspended ten thousand feet above the ground, surrounded by swirling clouds and golden light flowing beneath their feet like a stream.

At the center of the platform, a golden Divine Pattern, even more dazzling than the one seen before, emitted a heart-stopping energy fluctuation.

When Aster Grant’s gaze fell upon the dazzling Divine Pattern, he instinctively took out the "Divine Pattern" he had obtained earlier from the Beastbond Space.

Then, an astonishing sight unfolded...

The Divine Pattern, as if summoned, transformed into a stream of light shooting out and instantly fused perfectly with the Divine Pattern at the center of the platform.

And Aster Grant understood at that moment...

No wonder the system couldn’t distinguish the real from the fake; the pattern he obtained earlier was a true Divine Pattern, just a fragment of the complete one!

Thinking of this, he hurriedly took out the Earth Marrow.

Sure enough, in the void not far away, a brown crystal emitting thick earth elemental energy suddenly appeared.

The Earth Marrow immediately resonated with it and merged in the blink of an eye.

"So that’s how it is..." Aster Grant muttered to himself, "Both the Divine Pattern and the Earth Marrow are real!"

But when he attempted to approach these two items, he discovered an even more bizarre phenomenon.

No matter how he advanced, the distance between him and the two items did not shrink at all.

Though they seemed within reach, it was as if separated by an unbridgeable spatial barrier.

"Aster Grant," Lilith’s voice suddenly sounded, "to obtain the complete Divine Pattern, you must first pass its trial."

"Try using spiritual power to touch it; that should initiate the trial."

Following Lilith’s suggestion, Aster Grant cautiously released a wisp of spiritual power, tentatively touching the floating Earth Marrow.

The instant the spiritual power made contact with the Earth Marrow, an abrupt change occurred!

"Buzz——"

The originally peaceful space suddenly trembled violently, and dense demonic qi converged madly from every direction.

Aster Grant’s heart tightened, but he quickly reacted.

These were the remnants of the commander-level demons previously slain in the sanctum, now mysteriously reformed.

More shockingly, these demonic qi were rapidly materializing, gradually outlining a grim silhouette:

A demon clan figure with white bone wings, covered in blood-colored demon patterns, blue flames flickering in its vertical pupils, slowly solidifying.

It held a massive blade formed of demonic qi, standing there exuding an overwhelming suffocating pressure.

[Demon Clan Demon Lord]

[Talent: Half-Step Demon God]

[Level: Monarch Tier Five]

[Power: 150000]

[Constitution: 150000]

[Spiritual: 100000]

[Speed: 150000]

[Skills: Demon King’s Body, Demon King Domain...]

The moment Aster Grant saw the demon lord’s attributes, his brow furrowed slightly.

"A Monarch Tier Five Half-Step Demon God..."

He murmured softly, secretly thankful.

If the Divine Pattern’s rejection mechanism hadn’t prevented demonic qi from consolidating in the sanctum, based solely on Veridia and Vera’s previous levels...

Dealing with a demon of this tier would have been challenging.

However now...

Vera excels in group attacks, Lazuli has yet to fully recover, making Veridia the most suitable combat force.

"Veridia, it’s up to you." Aster Grant ordered in a deep voice.

"Understood!"

A cold gleam flashed in Veridia’s eyes, and instantly, a violent ghost qi erupted from around her.

"Ghost King’s Body!"

In a flash, Ghost Patterns covered her body.

[Ghost Race (Veridia)]

[Level: Commander Tier Nine]

[Talent: Myth Five Stars]

[Power: 60000→90000]

[Constitution: 55000→82500]

[Spiritual: 40000→60000]

[Speed: 54000→81000]

[Skills: Ghost Race Four Techniques, Ghost King’s Body, Returning Ruins, Ghost King Domain]

At this moment, Veridia’s level reached Commander Tier Nine.

Her base strength attribute in normal state had exceeded the 60000-point mark!

This is the peak of Commander Level strength!

Under the blessing of "Ghost King’s Body," this value skyrocketed to an astonishing 90000 points.

The terrifying part is that this doesn’t yet include the extra boosts from Ghost Race Combat Skills and Aster Grant’s "Soul-devouring" talent.

If she were to activate Ghost Race Third Technique "Heaven-Breaking," the strength attribute would soar threefold, reaching a dreadful value of 270000 points!

In the current team, apart from Lazuli, Vera and Veridia possess genuine Monarch Level combat power.

And it’s far from ordinary entry-level Monarch!

Only...

The true trump card remains Lazuli.

Having reached Commander Tier Nine, she faces virtually no shortcomings across various attributes.

Lazuli now...

Truly has the ability to contend with Monarch Peak!

At this moment.

Veridia’s gaze locked onto the demon clan figure.

This demon seemed to lack any intelligence due to the Divine Pattern’s influence.

However...

Veridia wouldn’t spare this demon just because of that.

"Heaven-Breaking!"

The ghost qi surrounding Veridia surged turbulently.

In the next moment.

It all converged into Veridia’s hands.

Her strength attribute also reached 270000 points!

The demon opposite seemed to sense the threat and instinctively activated "Demon King’s Body."

[Power: 150000→300000]

[Constitution: 150000→300000]

[Spiritual: 100000→200000]

[Speed: 150000→300000]

With the boost from Demon King’s Body, the demon’s attributes soared to 300000 points.

A bit higher than Veridia’s!

But Aster Grant had no intention of lending a hand.

After all, this demon lacked intelligence...

Which was its greatest weakness!

Just as the demon completed its enhancement, Veridia’s figure suddenly blurred.

Leveraging her bond with Scarlett, Veridia’s body merged into the Void.

Though her control over the Void was far below Scarlett’s.

It was more than enough to confuse the witless demon.

When Veridia reappeared, she was already behind the demon.

"Boom——!!"

A punch imbued with every ounce of strength smashed against the demon’s bone wings, unleashing a deafening roar.

However, under the enhancement of 300000 Constitution Attribute, the blow only made the demon stumble a few steps.

But Aster Grant remained unflustered...

Veridia possesses the skill Returning Ruins.

[Returning Ruins: As the battle progresses, Veridia’s attributes grow increasingly strong]

And this brainless demon was undoubtedly just a toy to Veridia.

Its clumsy attacks couldn’t even touch the hem of Veridia’s garments, while her fist grew ever more fierce.

When Veridia’s strength attribute finally broke through the 300000 mark, the tide of battle instantly turned!

Each powerful punch left shocking fissures on the demon’s body.

The speed of regeneration could no longer keep up with the accumulation of injuries.

"It’s over."

With those words, Veridia’s punch accurately punctured the demon’s heart.

The demon lord’s body halted instantly, then vanished completely in the next moment!

[Trial Passed]

[Earth Marrow Retrieval Qualification Acquired]

In the void, the Earth Marrow emitting thick earth elemental energy finally lifted all restrictions, slowly drifting before Aster Grant.
