Capítulo 15: Chimera? The Elves’ Holy Beast
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Seeing Chris shake his head, Robert obviously misunderstood.
Smiling, he patted Chris on the shoulder and comforted him. "Don't feel inferior. Although your talent is slightly lacking, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely be able to sign a contract and become a great druid warrior!"
"As long as a druid warrior doesn't transform, he'd normally remain an elf. However, once he activates his transformation, he'd be able to erupt with powerful strength.
"He'd possess a bloodline power in no way inferior to that of an orc.
"Moreover, once a druid signs a contract, a beast soul would be born within his body. For example, my battle bear is a beast soul.
"The druid of the previous generation had signed a Jaguar Beast Soul. His speed was extremely fast, and his movements were like the wind.
"Depending on the beast soul you sign, you'll obtain different abilities."
Chris' facial muscles twitched violently as he looked at Robert, who was talking non-stop.
'I was clearly rejecting him, alright? I wasn't feeling inferior, geez.'
However, Robert did not care about Chris' thoughts at all. He grabbed Chris' hand and pressed it against the white jade pillar.
"Almighty God, please listen to my summons. Bring blessings to your people so that we may become guardians of the forest..."
Chris did not even have time to react before Robert began chanting.
"I..."
Chris was completely stunned. 'This isn't my original intention at all.'
Just as he was about to pull his hand back, he noticed that the stone pillar in front of him suddenly emitted a blinding white light that sucked him in.
No way!
Chris' face was filled with anxiety. He did not want to turn into something that was covered in muscles.
It was when he thought of Robert's transformation. That half-man, half-bear monstrosity was like a nightmare that deeply tormented his soul.
However, Chris obviously did not notice the smile on Robert's face.
"I, Robert, the last druid of the elves, have finally found a successor."
In fact, when the Elf Queen first told him about Chris, Robert had still been a little resistant. After three months of observation, he changed his mind.
Chris was serious in his work and had a good attitude. Robert was very satisfied.
Of course, what truly cemented his decision was the intense natural aura surrounding Chris' body.
"I have never seen an elf with such a strong natural aura. If he becomes a druid, he will definitely be the most powerful druid warrior in the history of the elves."
Looking at Chris who was shrouded in the holy light, Robert had never felt so excited before.
The strength of a druid warrior, apart from the legacy of the previous generation, was the rich natural aura surrounding their body.
The stronger the aura, the more powerful the beast soul they summoned.
Robert was confident that Chris would definitely summon a powerful beast soul. With that, he would be able to protect all the elves.
"Look at this dazzling strength. Is it a falcon or a jaguar?"
He stared at the stone pillar, his eyes wide open, afraid that he would miss something.
Soon, images gradually appeared on the stone pillar.
"This is..."Robert was a little confused.
He saw a round, pebble-like thing appear on the stone pillar. In the middle of it, there were two rays of dim light.
"How strange. What kind of beast soul is this?" Before he could figure it out, the light on the stone pillar began to fade.
Chris was still an elf, his right hand pressed against the stone pillar. This strange situation made Robert even more confused.
"Why didn't you transform? And what happened to the image that flashed just now?"
Robert was stunned. He had never seen such a strange situation before. He grabbed Chris and talked to himself as if he had gone mad.
Chris did not know why either, and their eyes met. Just then, something fell out of the stone pillar.
It was a stone egg the size of a basketball.
The scene in front of them stunned not only Robert, but Chris as well.
At this moment, with a crisp sound, the stone egg shook twice.
"Crack!" Before the two of them could react, the stone egg cracked open from the middle.
Then, the strange creature with two heads cried out twice in a childish voice.
The moment he saw the creature, Robert's eyes widened as if he had seen something unbelievable.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
Chris did not know why Robert had such a big reaction. It was just an unknown creature, was it not?
"A chimera! It's actually the legendary chimera, the holy beast of the ancient elves. I never expected to see a chimera again in my lifetime.."
Tears of joy filled Robert's eyes, and even his entire body trembled violently.
He confirmed it over and over again, afraid that the scene in front of him was fake.
Once he was absolutely certain, he held Chris' hand tightly and said excitedly, "Kid, how did you do it? You actually... actually summoned the legendary holy beast. God has blessed us elves."
Robert's gaze stared fiercely at Chris, causing him to feel goosebumps.
"I... I don't know either!"
He only vaguely remembered that the moment his hand touched the stone pillar, there was a voice in his heart that repeatedly called out to him.
However, Chris, who was resisting in his heart, pretended not to hear it. In the end, he was really annoyed by the question and directly rejected it.
Immediately after that, an image that looked like a pebble appeared on the stone pillar.
Such a strange thing fell out of it.
Just as they were stunned for a moment, the figure in the stone egg opened its gem-like eyes and struggled to stand up.
It flapped its wings with all its strength, like a huge dragon with its wings open.
"The holy beast, the chimera, has descended upon the elves. O great god of the forest, there is hope for the revival of our race."
If Robert could not be completely sure just now, then at this moment, he was completely certain.
This was the holy beast of the elves, the Two-headed Chimera.
"Coo-coo!"
The Two-headed Chimera called out in a babyish voice. Although it had not opened its eyes yet, it was very infatuated with Chris' aura.
It was like a child who had just been born and was attached to its parents.
It flapped its small wings and climbed out of the stone shell. It grabbed Chris' pant leg and climbed up.
Then, it hugged his thigh tightly.
Seeing this, Robert finally understood the reason why Chris did not transform into a druid.
"Kid, you summoned the holy beast of the elves, the Two-headed Chimera. And from the looks of it, it's very infatuated with you. You must take good care of it."
"This is a legendary existence that's comparable to a giant dragon."
Even Robert was a little envious of Chris' luck.
The Chimera had just been born. Once it matured, it would be comparable to a Saint-level existence.
No, it was far beyond a Saint-level existence.
