Sorcery Monarch

Chapter 21: Yaya is the Mainstay!

 

Humming a tune lightly, having temporarily escaped the threat of death, Matthew felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart.

 

Now, he began to cheerfully tally the gains from this battle.

 

"70 pieces of flesh essence, which are materials for several precious potions."

 

"In the more than ten years that the Crimson Moon has been waning, they should appreciate in value."

 

"I should take this time to buy more, to accumulate some initial development funds..."

 

"The assassin contributed over 300 gold coins, with 150 gold remaining for daily expenses, and Yaya's appetite is not small."

 

"Dark Fang x2, daggers made of fine mithril, of excellent quality, attack +5, sharpness +4, durability +3, enchanted with 'Magic Break'."

 

"Fine craftsmanship, rarely seen, a single one is priced at 3500 gold coins in the market, and a set could sell for at least 8000!"

 

"Good stuff, might consider keeping them, circulating them would also bring me trouble."

 

Just as Matthew placed the two Dark Fangs aside, Yaya, who had been fast asleep, suddenly opened her eyes.

 

She curiously came over, sniffed the enticing aroma on the two daggers:

 

"Yaya? What's this food? Looks delicious!"

 

Before Matthew could respond, Yaya opened her mouth and swallowed them.

 

"This can't be eaten... What the hell?"

 

Yaya, who swallowed the Dark Fangs in one gulp, burped contentedly, saw Matthew's outstretched hand, and affectionately rubbed his palm.

 

Then, she yawned widely and fell back asleep, snoring, while Matthew stared blankly at the data displayed above her head:

 

Name: Yaya.

 

Species: Dragon beast.

 

Profession: None.

 

Age: 1 day, (Hatchling period).

 

Challenge Tier: 9+!

 

Equipment: Dark Fang x2

 

Status: Dormant Evolution in Progress (Consume 5000 experience points + 500 destiny coins to promote perfect evolution?)

 

"Consume 5000 experience points + 500 destiny coins? Is there such a good deal?"

 

Indescribable joy surged in his heart, Matthew looked at Yaya, whose size hadn't changed much, and carefully recalled the memories about young dragons and contracted creatures.

 

"I remember the number one official player contracted creature ranking, was a young Red Dragon - Orena."

 

"She signed with the official representatives from Huaxia, received significant nurturing from the entire official body."

 

"Before her fall, Orena's challenge tier reached 25+, and she possessed a boss-level template, destroyed the headquarters of the Church of the Goddess of Luck, taking two demigods with her to the grave."

 

"However, Orena's first perfect dormant evolution only required the consumption of 3500 experience points, plus some epic materials..."

 

"The future of Yaya..."

 

Gently stroking Yaya's delicate scales, Matthew originally thought she was just a common Time Dragon beast.

 

But now, it seems her background and potential are far greater!

 

"Agreed!"

 

Although 5000 experience is a lot, compared to Yaya's perfect evolution, it's nothing.

 

Yaya was enveloped in a deep blue light, her back's gray-black scales gradually became translucent, and her abdomen's gray-yellow scales also started to move toward her back.

 

Matthew felt an inexplicable anticipation.

 

"Who doesn't like raising and perfectly nurturing?"

 

Moreover, Matthew is not in a hurry to quickly advance his Arcanist level.

 

The main reason is:

 

The power of a caster lies in the control of numerous spells, how proficiently they are used, and whether they have enough money!

 

A rich Arcanist, his combat power destroys heavens and earth.

 

A poor Arcanist, so poor they go sell spell scrolls...

 

The secondary reason is:

 

Under Angela's command, the soldiers killed another challenge-tier 1+ aberrant wild boar.

 

The experience returned to Matthew changed from the previous 10 points to now 5 points.

 

While Yaya was evolving, Matthew examined the next two pieces of magical equipment from the assassin, a cloak and a pair of shoes.

 

"Shadow Cloak, tanned from shadow lion-scorpion fur, excellent quality, stealth +3, magic resistance +2, enchanted with 'Spell Barrier'."

 

"Finely crafted, rare in stock, market price is 3600 gold coins."

 

Matthew didn't think too much, quickly draped the Shadow Cloak over himself, stealth was barely useful to him, but magic resistance +2 was very useful.

 

Not to mention, the extremely important Spell Barrier.

 

Matthew was very familiar with the Spell Barrier enchantment, having once relied on selling its spell scrolls to get through economically difficult times.

 

The 3600 gold coin price of the Shadow Cloak, with a successful enchantment, was worth 3000 gold coins.

 

Whether for spell experiments or combat, magic resistance +2 and Spell Barrier could bring him great effects.

 

"Swift Boots, tanned from wind serpent skin + rock feather, excellent quality, movement speed +6, enchanted with 'Assault'!"

 

"Another piece of excellent equipment, the speed reached +6, and it's also enchanted with a spell, Assault is a waste on an assassin, but perfect for warriors and paladins..."

 

"The displayed market price, only 4800 gold coins? That's not considering supply and demand..."

 

Matthew analyzed the digital display again, stored the Swift Boots, amazed at the assassin's rich possessions, yet his handsome face carried a hint of a cold smile:

 

"A mere level 7 assassin, his equipment and spell scrolls together, easily worth over 20,000 gold coins, richer than many high-tier professionals..."

 

"Such a huge cost, just to kill a mere level 1 Arcanist, is a bit too much..."

 

Several suspicious targets flashed through Matthew's mind, he didn't have much thought about their purpose, as he only had one principle towards enemies:

 

"Annihilate them completely!"

 

"Roar...!"

 

A fairly impressive but youthful roar suddenly echoed by Matthew's ear, Yaya, completely changed, curiously looked at her own shiny silver scales, with great curiosity in her little head:

 

"Yaya? Why have the scales turned silver? But they look prettier than before..."

 

"Hmm... I'm hungry again, daddy!!"

 

Yaya, who woke up hungry again, naturally had all her desires met, turned into a little foodie, happily munching on dried meat.

 

Matthew, who thought Yaya wanted to eat some magical creature flesh, carefully observed her changes.

 

Although she was healed by a legendary Time Dragon, Yaya's wings were restored, but because she's not a true dragon, her wings are quite small, and as she grows, flying will be somewhat strenuous.

 

Now, Yaya's wings have grown twice as large, able to easily envelop her entire body.

 

Her dense scales also bore very concentrated magical patterns, slowly emitting fluctuations.

 

More obvious than the physical changes, was Yaya's data:

Involuntarily gasping, Matthew looked at Yaya, who in just one day, had already reached a total attribute of 100 points.

 

Repeatedly looking at the Time Dragon's characteristic "Banishing Breath," he strongly agreed with the displayed statement:

 

"Yaya is indeed the real mainstay!"
