Please be my partner.

Even if the effect is not good, based on the high elemental resistance of Black Abyss Iron itself, it can also be used as a good auxiliary material.

Anyway, you won’t suffer any loss.

As time goes by, both Spike and Garuru have made good progress in both directions.

On Spike's side, Mellen introduced a second cultivation resource... 'Earth Jadeite', which is twice as effective as 'Earth Condensate', but consumes ten times more merit.

Even with their merit-gaining efficiency, they could not use 'Earth Jadeite' as a regular resource. After calculating the harvest ratio, Melen slightly changed Spike's training plan. Basically, 'Earth Jadeite' can be used once every five days. Occasionally, if there is a good harvest in the space-time rift, it can be increased to twice every five days. The rest of the time, he still uses 'Earth Condensate'.

This made the training progress of Spike's mark even more rapid.

The same is true for Garuru. One by one, the technology of the Titan Colossus has been conquered, and it is getting closer and closer to its actual construction.

However, what made Melen speechless was that he initially estimated that twenty tons of black iron would be enough to build two Titan statues. After all, black iron was only the main material, and a lot of auxiliary materials needed to be added.

But now, after rigorous calculations, a relatively accurate number has been obtained...

The overall height of the Titan Colossus is still 30 meters as shown in the design drawing, and the total weight will reach 50 tons. If black abyss iron is used as the main material, it will weigh at least 35 tons, and other auxiliary materials will weigh 15 tons.

After the bounties from the missions during this period, as well as some occasional gains from the rifts in time and space, the gap in Black Abyss Iron was barely made up.

Melen didn't need to worry too much about the auxiliary materials. The Fairytale Alliance and the King's Right Wing were constantly helping him collect various rare minerals. During this period, he took the time to return to the Kingdom of Kro. In addition to reporting his safety to his relatives and friends, he also came to get these auxiliary materials.

Time flies and it’s three months later.

Mellen looked at Spike's attribute column and saw that [Heart of the Earth] had increased from 99% to 100%, and a smile appeared on his face.

After three months of hard work, with the accumulation of various resources and spiritual energy, Spike finally trained the [Heart of the Earth] to its limit and met the needs of the combination.

Spike felt the changes in his body and nodded to Mellen impatiently.

Mellen understood what Spike meant. There was no need for preparation and the promotion to the third level of the Branded Knight could begin immediately. However, given Spike's background, there was really nothing to prepare, so Mellen naturally agreed.

As Spike closed his eyes, Meren also synchronized with its spiritual perspective through the connection of the contract.

At this moment, in the space inside Spike's body, the life force was flowing below like a rushing river, while above, there were brands hanging.

Among them, the three combined imprints representing [Heavy Mountains], [Giant] and [Heart of the Earth] are particularly bright. They are surrounded by 78 basic imprints. Most of these basic imprints are dim, and only a few of them emit a little halo.

This is because after Spike engraved these basic imprints, he put them aside and basically did not train them. They will emit different radiances depending on the degree of training, and eventually they will become like stars.

Next is the brand combination. After the combination is successful, the brand will be reborn, breaking the original limitations and starting a new improvement.

As the three second-order extreme combination brands approached each other, they began to attract and repel each other, just like a broken magnet, the originally connected parts became opposite poles that repelled each other. What Spike had to do was to glue the broken parts together again so that the three brands became a whole.

As the imprints approached each other, the repulsion grew, but under Spike's control, it continued slowly and steadily.

At a certain moment, the three brands shook slightly, finally breaking through the critical point of repulsion and starting to merge rapidly. During this process, the arrangement of the nine basic brands was naturally reorganized, becoming more harmonious and filled with a sense of overall beauty.

The third-level combined imprint [Body of the Earth]... is completed.

The [Body of the Earth] mark radiated a brilliant light, like a large sun hanging above the sky within Spike's body. Against its backdrop, the basic mark became even dimmer.

Wherever the light shines, the life force begins to surge and boil, as if it is imbued with a special power and has a hint of ochre color. This is a sign that the nature of the life force has changed.

In reality, strands of the power of the earth emanate from Spike's body from the inside out. These forces of the earth are entangled and woven, trying to push Spike's body to a higher level.

This is a career advancement and also a sublimation of life.

Extraordinary professions were originally developed by humans as a ladder for them to transform themselves step by step to a higher level.

PS: Are there any book friends of mine who can draw? I want to make some standing drawings for the dogs, for a fee. I have also done some AI drawings, but maybe my method is wrong and I always feel unsatisfied.

If so, join the group where I wrote my previous book and let’s chat.

Chapter 200: Legendary Anchor and the Titan Colossus (1/12)

A hazy glow enveloped Spike. Although its body shape did not change, it looked more solid and sturdy.

A heavy, mountain-like breath gradually rose, as if what was crawling here was not a dog, but a long mountain range.

Faintly, with Spike's breathing, the power of the surrounding earth also pulsated, boiled, and danced.

This state lasted for several hours before slowly subsiding.

Spike opened his eyes, stood up and walked towards Mellen, feeling a contradictory sense of heaviness and lightness coexisting.

Mellen smiled and took two quick steps towards Spike. He held the dog's head in his arms and stroked it hard. Spike was speechless immediately, but he did not struggle.

After communicating silently for a while, Mellen also learned from Spike how he felt after being promoted to the third level.

It can be said that the promotion of extraordinary professions is completely different from the evolution and rank improvement of races. It is more like a life leap in a specific direction through the locking of professions.

After reaching this conclusion, Melen's expression changed slightly.

According to the vague description of the extraordinary that he learned, the career path is the path of the extraordinary. Levels one to three are the beginning of contact with the extraordinary and the mysterious, and are just in the scope of ordinary things. Level three is the end of ordinary things, and the fourth level legend above is the true mastery of the extraordinary.

Therefore, when any profession reaches the third level, it will undergo different degrees of transformation depending on the profession itself.

In this respect, Spike fits the bill.

However, what scared Melen was that he was not like that. After he became a third-level wolf tamer, although he had grown in all aspects, he did not have the tendency to transform as described.

He couldn't even see the end of his third-level road. It was as if what was in front of him was a vast and boundless starry sky. Although it looked beautiful, it also had a sense of distance and illusion.

Based on the shallow supernatural system in the current world, Melen felt that the knowledge he learned might not be fully trustworthy. For example, the most basic thing is, can legendary professions be compared with ordinary professions?

However, considering what his father Warwick once mentioned in the Demon Cave, "The wolf-shaped pendant passed down in our family is condensed with unimaginable shadows and darkness. This is destined to be a thorny road, and we will encounter countless difficulties and obstacles on the way." Perhaps the profession of "Wolf Tamer" itself has some problems.

In fact, he was not completely unaware of this. When Xiao Honglian was promoted to Legend, he had a feeling that he was anchored.

In comparison, he seemed to be floating in the boundless sea of stars before, with no touch of the sky or the ground, and no sense of front, back, left or right. But when the little red lotus appeared as an anchor point, he became more solid, as if a touch of reality was born in the illusion, and he had a little grasp of the future.

Combining all these, Mellen has an incredible guess...

If he wanted to be promoted to a fourth-level legend, he might have to train all three contracted dogs to the legendary level and obtain three different anchor points.

There are many problems with this extraordinary profession of [Wolf Tamer], but Melen has a vague premonition that when he breaks free from the shackles and becomes a legend, he will dispel the fog and uncover the truth hidden in it.

He collected his thoughts and had already made a clear plan for the future path. He just needed to grow step by step.

Mellen brought Spike into the fairy tale kingdom. After a period of growth, the fairy tale kingdom has become even larger. In a mountain range outside the kingdom, there is a base full of science fiction.

In the base, there are dwarves and elves, goblins and monsters. They live in harmony with each other and work hard under the command of the mechanical masters.

On the patio in the center of the base, a huge structure that is thirty meters high and weighs fifty tons has taken shape.

This is a huge golem, black in color, with a humanoid shape. It has wings that gradually droop and can be folded behind it. There are feather-like protrusions on the shoulder armor. The head is like a bird's head with black feathers, and a faint bright yellow halo blooms in its eyes.

This Titan statue just stood there quietly, emitting a tangible sense of oppression. The air seemed to be heavier, forming an invisible deterrent.

Gradually, the staff on the patio completed the final steps and left one after another.

Garuru came to Mellen with an extremely excited look on his face. Behind them were Pinocchio, the Three Little Pigs and other mechanical masters of the fairy tale kingdom, all with anticipation on their faces.

Mellen looked at Garuru. The progress of the mechanical dog in this period was rapid. Unknowingly, the race level had reached the limit of the second level and could break through to the third level at any time. The source energy user had also reached the second level, and the overall strength was much stronger.

As Mellen nodded, Garuru let out a wolf howl, and the mechanical puppet wolves, whose number had expanded to thirty-five, howled at the same time in response.

Thirty-six mechanical dogs surrounded the Titan, and the energy furnaces in their bodies emitted dazzling light at the same time.

Under the illumination of source energy, the source energy imprints engraved on the Titan's body began to light up. Stimulated by this, subtle changes began to appear in the mechanical mechanisms within its body. These could be defects in the design or omissions in the manufacturing process, all of which were adjusted towards a more perfect direction under the influence of source energy.

At the same time, the giant energy furnace inside the Titan began to turn.

The Titan Colossus naturally did not use Garuru's auxiliary energy furnace, and the latter was unable to carry such a huge mechanical creation.

"Puff! ~Sizzle!~"

The sound of mechanical rotation rang out layer by layer, and the Titan Colossus began to shake slowly, as if a dead object had been injected with a soul.

When the source energy imprint flowed through the entire body of the Titan, the mechanical dogs stopped moving.

Garuru returned to Meren and looked at the Titan with anticipation.

Because it was the first time it was started up, self-inspection and adjustment were required, so it took a long time. After more than ten minutes, the Titan stopped shaking.

Garuru jumped up happily. Under the command of the source energy link, the Titan raised its right arm and slowly closed its palm.

Mellen looked around. Although the base was large, there wasn't enough space for the Titan to perform. He said, "Let's go. Now that the new toy has been successfully built, we naturally need to find him a decent opponent."

Garuru naturally nodded happily.

After leaving the Fairy Tale Kingdom and returning to the headquarters of the Twilight Knights, Mellen glanced in the direction of the space-time rift, then shook his head. Since the Twilight Knights had already reached a tacit understanding with the devil, it would be inappropriate for him to take the initiative to destroy it.

However, when it comes to hitting targets, naturally you can have as many as you want.

Mellen walked towards the outside of the Sunset Mountains. Because he was excited, he moved faster. Each step covered a distance of several thousand meters. In just a moment, he left the Sunset Mountains.

After reconfirming the direction, the golden retriever carried Mellen away quickly.

In the Dusk Knights, the Dawn Knight Dal felt the commotion created by Meren and remained silent.

The black knight who had communicated with Melen in the space-time rift couldn't help but ask, "Captain, do you need me to confirm that person's whereabouts?"

After thinking for a long time, Dar shook his head and said, "If he returns, bring him to see me."

"Yes, Commander!" The Black Knight responded immediately.

Although Melen had invited the leader of the Dusk Knights to meet him three months ago, Dal had obviously had some concerns at that time, so he had been observing and thinking about it for the past three months, and only made a complete decision today.

After half a day's flight, Melen arrived at a dense forest. The trees in the forest were relatively low, and it was full of poisonous insects, wild beasts and swamps, which was quite dangerous.

After the golden retriever turned back into a dog, he did not go back, but stayed close to Mellen.

After training in blood control, the size of the golden retriever is not as big as it was at the beginning, and can be easily controlled within the range of a normal dog.

The golden retriever thinks that this will make it more convenient for its owner to touch it.

At this time, Xiao Honglian could no longer sit still. She showed her tiny form and stood on Mellen's shoulder, wanting to rub against him too.

Spike looked at the two toadies, one big and one small, with some disgust.

Melen smiled and stroked the dogs' heads, then released Garuru and the giant Titan from the fairy tale kingdom.

Melen pointed to the dense forest and said to Garuru, "Go and flatten this swamp."

Garuru cheered, ran towards the Titan, and jumped onto the Titan's palm on the ground, being sent into the compartment in its chest.

The next moment, thirty-six balls of source energy light lit up on the Titan's body. One of them was naturally Garuru, and the other thirty-five were from the mechanical puppet wolves that had already entered the Titan's body.

Although the Titan can move freely without the power of the Energy Furnace, with the support of the Energy Furnace, all aspects of the Titan's values can be greatly increased.

"Boom!~"

The Titan took a step forward, the earth roared, the wings behind it rose high, and the next moment it suddenly soared into the sky.

In fact, when the Titan appeared, an uneasy atmosphere enveloped the swamp forest. In the huge swamp in the center of the swamp forest, a sleeping consciousness was awakened and quickly revived.

The swamp began to ripple and gradually boiled, with huge, slippery snakes swimming in it. These giant snakes were all extraordinary life forms, and were at least level two, with most of them being level three.

All kinds of extraordinary life forms in the swamp and dense forest seemed to be summoned and quickly gathered towards the center.

"Boom!~"

The Titan fell with a loud bang, and a dark and deep aura spread out. All the extraordinary lives that came into contact with this aura screamed and wailed. Although their bodies were not damaged, their spirits seemed to be chopped by sharp blades and burned by flames.

The weaker extraordinary lives fainted on the spot, and during the coma, their vitality quickly dissipated, and they soon fell into the abyss of death.

The stronger extraordinary lives were also mentally traumatized, becoming confused, timid, and fearful, and they did not even care about the orders of the Lord of the Swamp and Forest.

This is the special ability activated by source energy after a huge amount of Black Abyss Iron is piled up... the aura of fear.

[Fear Aura]: Forms a fear aura 300 meters centered on the player. Players illuminated by this aura will suffer a massive amount of mental damage and continuous mental burning. A mental check is also required. Failure of the check will result in one or more negative mental states such as confusion, timidity, and fear.

This ability is simply a killer weapon in group battles.

The Titan stood up, ignoring the extraordinary lives around him like headless flies. He raised his right hand, on which gathered a ball of energy light mixed with red and blue colors, which was actually a dual-element energy cannon.

After three seconds of energy accumulation, it was suddenly launched, and the red and blue energy ball hit the center of the swamp. A huge explosion rose up, and the energy rubbed rapidly with the air, producing strands of electric light in the void.

Angry shouts echoed from the swamp: "Ah! Who is it?! Who is disturbing my sleep?!!!"

In the distance, in mid-air, Melen sat on the blood-red throne and muttered to himself, "Snake Swallower Buggy? Now it seems that he is not that great."

[Snake Swallower] Baki, the top powerhouse of the 'Swallowing Council', when the city of Vero was in turmoil, he descended with a wisp of consciousness and stopped Davey, the director of the Special Affairs Bureau, who was a third-level powerhouse. His power was so great that Mellen at the time could only watch from a distance and did not dare to get close.

Later, when Melen gained confidence, he began to investigate the information of the 'Devouring Swamp' and the 'Devouring Parliament'. Although there is not much news about the former so far, the information about the latter has been basically collected.

Bakimeron was naturally impressed by the Snake Swallower. When he needed a target to test his hand, the first person he thought of was him.

[Snake Swallower] Bucky rose from the swamp. He stood up to ten meters tall. His upper body was human and his lower body was a snake. His body was covered with sores and pustules. Disgusting insects could be vaguely seen swimming in the pustules.

Seeing the other person's appearance, Melen was very unhappy. You know, the human body with a snake tail was the image of a great god in his previous life, and the appearance of [Snake Swallower] Buggy was simply blasphemy.

Originally, Mellen was thinking about dealing with [Snake Swallower] Buggy and chatting with him to see if he could get some useful information. But now he lost interest and just wanted to kill the other party quickly to avoid polluting his eyes.
