CHAPTER 385 RUBYGON'S UPGRADE
On the spur of the moment, an earsplitting roar reverberated in the air, as if thunder was rumbling the
sky. In a split second, plenty of birds and beasts made a rapid exit from the forest. Everything was in an
entire mayhem.
Under the towering ancient tree, a black ray passed through thick leaves and brimmed over up into the
sky. It burned while licking everything like a hungry kitten with a saucer of milk, leaving everything into
ashes along the way and left a round hole above the ancient tree. When the black ray flew in the sky, it
burst out into a black firework and then faded away.
Rocky fixed his gaze up with wide eyes, beads of sweat all over his head. As puffing and panting, he
turned to gaze at Rubygon in front of him. Black spiritual power had engulfed Rubygon right now, and it
displayed a heart-rending expression when its limbs were twitching. Great hard-heartedness was
eloquent in its eyes.
As Rubygon roared again like a lion, the black spiritual power around it began rotating and intertwining.
The scaring to death picture suggested to be numerous demons were going hysterical.
At the same time, compelling changes were taking place to Rubygon amongst the black spiritual power.
Its original height was merely as tall as half a person, but now its body was becoming bigger and taller
as fast track as a blowing balloon. In a matter of moments, its height had exceeded two meters.
Rubygon was now even stronger and higher than Uriah, carrying a formidable air.
While the upgrade process was still going on, Rubygon's sharp teeth grew longer and scarier that
would astound the life out of someone. Its two canine teeth in the upper jaw even protruded from the
mouth, like two razor-sharp daggers hanged below its upper jaw. The nails on its four claws also grew
longer and even dug into the ground deeply. The tail behind its colossal body turned into two, as the
shape of the sickle. As the two tails waved in the air, they were glistening with cold aura.
"Evolve? Rubygon's star rating is advancing!" Rocky was caught on the wrong foot by what was
developing to it, which was totally out of his presupposition.
The dense black spiritual power gradually dissipated, which meant that the upgrade process had come
to a halt. The subtle rattling and powerful aura around Rubygon took Rocky's breath away. And there
was a black flame-shaped mark in the middle of its forehead.
"Roar!"
Rubygon waved its fore claw and directed it at the ancient tree beside it. With a black arc flashing in the
air, its claw hit right against the thick trunk. A rumble sounded in the air as the solid tree began shaking
like a leaf. Leaves were descending like rain. Meanwhile, a one-meter long claw print was left in the
trunk, as deep as three inches. What a horrible picture!
"Rubygon, sit down!" Rocky sweet-tempered said while knitting brows.
As promptly as apprehending Rocky, Rubygon turned to glance at him. It was still so bright-eyed and
bushy-tailed after it just had a meager attempt that its eyes enlarged and razor-sharp teeth glinted with
spine chilling light. But when it saw Rocky, its bloodthirsty face in a dash became as docile as a kitten.
Then its hind legs bent, and it sat down on the ground.
"Radiance Evaluation Skill!
Stroking Evaluation Skill!
Mysterious Visual Evaluation Skill!"
Rocky leaned over backward the three Beast Evaluation Skills in succession after he wended his way
in front of Rubygon. He wanted to have a closer glimpse at Rubygon's excellence and different
developments after its upgrade. As he had in prospect, the three Beast Evaluation Skills failed to work
on Rubygon anymore. Rocky used to peer through Rubygon's comprehensive quality by any of the
three skills, but now he could merely have a rough idea about it. That meant Rubygon had leveled up
to the four-star level from the three-star. Thus, his third-grade weighing up abilities could now present it
the once-over out Rubygon's new quality and changes. Content held by .
What he could get a fix on now was that Rubygon was at the second grade of the four-star level.
Rubygon had on no circumstance had an upgrade before, and its burliness just remained the first
grade of the three-star level. When the star rating was enhanced, a spirit-manipulated beast would
evolve. What caused one to settle on a plan of action in how many times a spirit-manipulated beast
would evolve was the star rating. A three-star spirit-manipulated beast would evolve for three times. A
four-star spirit-manipulated beast would evolve for four times.
Actually, Rubygon's upgrade process this time was only a typical evolution. While, some spirit-
manipulated beasts would have unique mutations, like what took place to Uriah in the contest last time.
It was the first time Rubygon evolved, on a par with the course a spirit-manipulated beast went through
from the first grade to the second. What was exceptionally once in a blue moon during Rubygon's
evolution was that it upgraded to the four-star level.
Generally speaking, a spirit-manipulated beast's star rating could not advance at all. It was an
instinctive quality. The exception was the spiritual beasts, which could upgrade their star rating.
However, Rubygon was not a spiritual beast. It was absolutely unprecedented that a spirit-manipulated
beast broke through its inborn star rating.
After the upgrade process, Rubygon now was at the second grade of the four-star level. A four-star
spirit-manipulated beast was what a Heavenly Stage spirit manipulator even hankered after. Even in
the Crimson Dragon Group, the spirit-manipulated beasts the commanders of the Heavenly Stage
owned were virtually altogether in the third grade of the three-star level.
It was also out of Rocky's assumption that when he and Rubygon were connected through spiritual
power, Rubygon could break through its initial star rating and develop into a four-star spirit-manipulated
beast right now.
Rocky did make a deep pocket this time.
Now that he had witnessed the magical power of the Mysterious Beast Transformation Skill, he had a
predilection to give it his best shot on this skill on Uriah next time. If he and Uriah were connected
through their spiritual power, Uriah might have the same evolution as Rubygon did just then, or even
have a special mutation one more time. After all, Uriah was an out of the ordinary spiritual beast with
superior talent. Although it was merely at the third grade of the three-star level, with its deep red scales,
it could even have a match for a four-star spirit-manipulated beast.
Yet, Uriah's power still had a disparity between a four-star spirit-manipulated beast's. For precedent,
Uriah could not take the catbird seat over the Trunk Giant during the battle last time. Rubygon could
not even spark off any damage to the Trunk Giant.
That could also make obvious the dire straits that a spirit-manipulated beast struggled to go beyond the
gap between the star ratings. Thus, it was of a lot of significance for a spirit-manipulated beast to have
an upgrade.
At the same time, Uriah and the other two beasts had come to Rubygon to have a good time owing to
its upgrade. They kept running around Rubygon to make manifest how much overjoyed as a clam they
felt for it. Rubygon was also so tickled pink that it had joined their jubilation.
Rocky let out a deep sigh of alleviation as getting a glimpse of that picture. It was really a close call
when he imprinted a mark of spiritual power on Rubygon. If not because of the Holy Dragon Bead's
power, he would have been a corpse already before finishing the mark.
