Chapter30-The Light Dragon God State

"Soul Contract? What is that? No, I can't let Daisy imprint me with such a thing. But I'm completely paralyzed; how can I break free?"

Ranch's mind was more active than ever, sensing that once the Soul Contract Daisy mentioned was signed, he might fall into an irredeemable predicament.

Daisy seemed to notice Ranch's struggle. 

Feeling confident of her victory, she generously explained, "My true form is the Radiant Emperor Butterfly, and one of my innate abilities is the Soul Contract. Once the contract is signed, you will forever be mine, incapable of betrayal."

As the imprint deepened, Daisy became increasingly aware of the terrifying nature of Ranch's bloodline. 

She couldn't help but marvel, mixed with a hint of confusion, "Such a powerful bloodline, even stronger than that of the dragons, only a bloodline like yours, Ranch, is worthy of my Soul Contract. However, this bloodline is excessively potent, surpassing even the Muir family's ancestral bloodline. It's truly peculiar."

However, Daisy didn't notice that Ranch's eyes were turning redder by the moment.

Five minutes later, the imprint hadn't fully formed. 

Daisy sensed something was amiss. 

Given the current power disparity between her and Ranch, the Soul Contract shouldn't be this difficult to establish. 

Could it be that Ranch was resisting forcefully?

Considering this, she softly said, "Ranch, stop resisting. I will give you everything you desire." As she spoke, Daisy's lips approached his, tenderly sucking, attempting to use carnal distraction to sway Ranch.

At this moment, Ranch was clearly oblivious to such intentions; a look of surprise flashed in his eyes as if he saw something astonishing – naturally, it was a system notification.

[Detected epic-tier treasure, 5-tier Radiant Emperor Butterfly soul fragment!]

Ranch almost thought he was seeing things. 

Wasn't Daisy about to enslave him? 

How could such an item appear?

To clarify, Ranch endured the pain of spending fifty thousand gold coins for identification.

[5-tier Radiant Emperor Butterfly soul fragment: A rare soul fragment from the spellbeast Radiant Emperor Butterfly, used to forge a Soul Contract. It holds immense value, capable of enhancing one's bloodline; direct absorption can significantly boost mental strength, with a high chance of acquiring one of the Radiant Emperor Butterfly's innate talents; it is also an extremely rare material that can be used to craft scrolls, potions.]

Besides, there was another piece of information.

[Owning the Radiant Emperor Butterfly soul fragment allows the Dragon God Vessel to devour it, receiving a special enhancement. The devouring process is estimated to complete in five months. (Gold coins can be spent to expedite the process.)]

[Proceed with devouring?]

Such a decision required no second thought. 

Ranch immediately chose to devour and opted to use gold coins to accelerate the Dragon God Vessel's devouring process, curious about the potential changes it would undergo.

Then, he watched as his gold coins plummeted, with the acceleration costing a total of two million gold coins.

And Ranch gained just one amplifying skill.

[Light Dragon God: Actively enter the Light Dragon God state, significantly increasing size, strength, and defense, greatly enhancing resistance to dark magic, and doubling the effects of light-based magic enhancements. The state will forcibly end when the body can no longer sustain it.]

This was an immensely powerful enhancement skill, its only drawback being the physical limitation.

However, Ranch glanced at the hundreds of Energy Reagents stored in his storage ring. 

Even though he was no ordinary being and the effectiveness of the Energy Reagents was diminished, they could still keep him in a vigorous state for around ten minutes. 

As long as he timed his consumption of Energy Reagents well, he could maintain the Light Dragon God state indefinitely.

Such is the power of money!

With the skill acquired, the crisis of Daisy's Soul Contract was averted, and next came the trial of the Light Dragon God's active effects.

Thus, without Daisy realizing, Ranch activated the Light Dragon God skill.

Sudden pain struck, causing Daisy to scream in agony.

The Ranch before her had transformed entirely. 

His previously lean frame instantly expanded, his body covered with metallic scales, his eyes turned blood-red, filled with a murderous aura, and his hands transformed into sharp claws, effortlessly slicing Daisy's rose gown into shreds.

Ranch had never felt so powerful, his mind filled with thoughts of destruction.

He looked at Daisy, her face contorted with pain from the injury below, and mocked mercilessly, "Daisy, you truly are pitiful. You wanted to enslave others, yet you've been backfired upon."

Fear and disbelief filled Daisy's eyes as she exclaimed, "Impossible, how did you do this? I don't believe it!"

Hearing this, Ranch couldn't help but lament, saying, "Because, I spent money."

To expedite the devouring, he had spent a total of two million gold coins.

Fortunately, besides gaining the Light Dragon God skill, there was an additional benefit—Mapleleaf's Madame Butterfly Daisy, who forcefully attempted the Soul Contract and faced the consequences of failure. 

Now, her soul was under Ranch's control, her power reduced to tier 3, leaving her no match for Ranch.

For Ranch, the sensation of the Soul Contract was peculiar, as if he could make Daisy's body do anything he wished. 

Like now, despite her extreme reluctance, Daisy could only endure the intense pain, actively clinging to Ranch's robust frame, her tender haven enveloping Ranch's fervent dragon.

There was no pleasure, only agony.

"Ranch, spare me, I will acknowledge you as my master," Daisy pleaded.

Ranch seemed to soften; he exited the Light Dragon God state, his body returning to its original form.

Daisy immediately slid off him, collapsing to the floor like a broken doll, her gaze filled with pleading and regret, seemingly ready to submit.

But for someone who had tried to enslave him, Ranch held no sympathy, no matter how beautiful she was.

Moreover, a new notification message appeared.

[Detected epic treasure: Radiant Emperor Butterfly Incarnation!]

[Identification successful!]

[Radiant Emperor Butterfly Incarnation (5-tier): As a rare spellbeast, the Radiant Emperor Butterfly undergoes nine metamorphoses, leaving behind a body from each transformation, which the original can control. It is advised not to keep the incarnation; dispose of it promptly to avoid detection by the true Radiant Emperor Butterfly!!]

Understanding the notification, Ranch realized Daisy was still in disguise. 

The body before him was merely an avatar, not the true Radiant Emperor Butterfly. 

Given that the Soul Contract was an innate ability of the Radiant Emperor Butterfly, she surely had a way to handle the failure of the contract. 

Therefore, the best course of action was to eliminate the Daisy before him, to prevent the real Radiant Emperor Butterfly from tracking him down.

But before that, there was one more thing to do.

Ranch commanded directly, "Daisy, transfer all your savings to me."

The command from the soul forced Daisy to comply. She retrieved several peculiar items from various hidden compartments: a wand, a cloak, a teapot... 

She then pulled out five hundred magical amethyst coins and the previously traded two thousand bottles of Energy Reagent from her storage ring, placing all these items before Ranch.

Gazing at the large array of items, Ranch was overjoyed.

He couldn't help but praise, "Daisy, you truly are my lucky star."

Daisy felt no joy from the compliment. 

Although the Soul Contract could command the contracted, the person under it retained their own thoughts. 

Daisy was trying to calm the rage in her heart, deciding to endure for a while, even if Ranch wantonly humiliated her, using her as an object for his desires.

Clearly, Daisy's plan had failed.

She saw Ranch's arm once again sprout scales, his hand transforming into a dragon's claw, which gently grazed the long hair in front of her forehead. 

Her hair was severed, falling to the ground, as Ranch's voice followed, utterly indifferent: "Lady Daisy, I will remember this delightful night, but now it's time for us to part ways. Your body is splendid, but I always feel keeping you would be troublesome. I dislike trouble, hence, I must ask you to die."

Ranch intended to kill her!

Daisy had never anticipated this outcome. 

As the claw traced her neck, she felt the pain of her flesh being torn. 

At that moment, she completely panicked, losing her prior composure, begging like the most abject slave, "Ranch, spare me, I can tell you a secret no one else knows!"
