Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 456

The sun had long set by the time Rocky arrived at the forests surrounding the Myriad Beasts Group. Even after the entire day of trek, he still hadn't reached his destination. He was aiming to reach the second grade of the Heavenly Stage at the Myriad Beasts Ground. As he looked at the dim sky, he realized he still had a long way to go.

Rocky recalled the last time he was at the Myriad Beasts Ground. A few minutes in it, he found himself nearly meeting his death. He was well aware that the place was lurking with dangers.

But situation had changed now and the place was not as dangerous as it was before to him. He had strengthened himself a lot, especially his inner evil spiritual power. And he could reach the third grade of the Heavenly Stage if he got the chance. Besides those, there was one person who played a very important part in it, Sabina. If it were not Sabina, Rocky would never think about going into this place for further cultivation.

"Isis must hate me now," Rocky thought. "But," he continued out loud, "self-preservation is the number one rule of nature. There is nothing more important than protecting myself." As he walked into the forest with his four beasts, Rocky continued to talk to himself.

With no sun to cast shadows to guide him, Rocky was lost in time. He wasn't sure when he would reach the second grade of the Heavenly Stage. But it was alright, Rocky thought. This was what he prepared himself for, after all. He was determined that nothing would stop him from reaching his destination.

In his recent battle against the spirit manipulators of the Heavenly Stage from the Timber Deity Empire, Rocky was introduced to his flaws. And it dawned on him that his biggest one was on the Spirit Possession. Spirit Possession was a great power to have. Through it, he could defeat powerful enemies. However, he needed to do it within a certain time frame or, otherwise, he would risk getting killed by the enemy. So he committed himself to only summoning the skill in times of absolute need.

Unfortunately, when Rocky activated his Spirit Possession during his encounter with the powerful master Liam, he found that it was of not much use.

Rocky was able to tap into his animalization power. Animalization from the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill was one of the four secret skills in the Wild Spirit Land. But during the time of his encounter, he only reached the first level and only activated basic animalization. Therefore, he barely inflicted any harm on his enemies.

More than that, he only had his spiritual power linked with Rubygon and was only able to animalize with it. And, while Rubygon's claws were strong and solid, Rocky was already in possession of the Frozen Wind Dagger. At that point, the animalization of Rubygon proved to be of little help to him in battle. It wasn't able to do anything that Rocky couldn't already achieve with his Frozen Wind Dagger.

The only reason he linked his spiritual power with Rubygon was to enhance its strength through spiritual crystal. It was never for his own benefit.

Rocky knew that if he wanted to harness the full potential of animalization, he had to link with strong beasts that possessed special powers, such as Uriah and Rainbow Glow Unicorn.

The scales of Uriah were rigid and had great resistance against heat. And the animalization could put that scales on his own body which were similar to the one made by Spirit Possession. And in doing so, Rocky could acquire a strong armor.

And as for Rainbow Glow Unicorn, it can hide itself. And the special power could be much useful as well in critical moments.

But it was not an easy work to tame the Rainbow Glow Unicorn. Therefore, it was better for Rocky to establish a solid spiritual power link with Uriah as fast as possible. Then he could use the powers of Uriah and Rubygon through animalization selectively.

It was quite easier to build the link with claimed spirit-manipulated beasts than unclaimed spirit-manipulated beasts. Rocky had been trying to connect with Uriah all the way to the forest and had made a huge progress.
