Chapter 1195: One-Man Army and Mineral Mountain in Human Form
Before Liu Jie thought any further, he saw Lin Yuan and the figure behind him raise their hand.
Amber light shot out of Lin Yuan’s palm and shot toward the Land Imp.
At the same moment, the Invisible Demon fell to its knees and assumed a solemn submissive pose as it trembled violently.
This was the first time in the Invisible Demon’s life that it was feeling such pure source-type power, and it thought, This Class 4 Land Imp is extremely lucky to receive Lord Dictator’s blessing. With so much source-type power being injected into it, it will probably be able to evolve into an Apostle today.
However, the Invisible Demon was not jealous because Lin Yuan had given it a similar promise, and it would soon be able to evolve into an Apostle as well.
It had not undergone the Source-Type Cleansing because it wanted to save up and gain immortal power at the same time that it reached the Apostle rank.
As more source-type energy was injected into the Land Imp, its grayish-green skin sloughed off and revealed greenish-blue skin underneath.
It did not become any taller, but its ears became more pointed, and its teeth grew sharper.
The sharpened teeth would enable the Land Imp to be able to chomp down on harder types of metal.
By the time Lin Yuan injected 200 units of source-type energy into the Land Imp, it had turned into a greenish-blue dwarf.
As more source-type power was injected into it, faint tattoos appeared all over its body.
At first, these tattoos seemed out of place.
But slowly, the tattoos moved into place, and Lin Yuan could make out the shapes of mineral mountains.
When Lin Yuan injected the last portion of source-type power into the Land Imp, a guttural roar erupted from its throat, and an amber-colored totem appeared on the tip of its nose.
The amber-colored totem depicted towering mineral mountains that gleamed with a metallic tint.
This was the Land Imp’s awakened faith totem, Metal Mountain Vein Totem.
Lin Yuan used True Data to check on the new Apostle.
[Alien Beast Name]: Vein Land Imp
[Lifeform State]: Apostle
[Alien Beast Class]: Class 4
[Power of Faith]: Extremely weak
[Faith Totem]: Metal Mountain Vein Totem
Natural Skill:
[Metal Growth]: Form a contract with a certain type of metal and absorb it to increase its power. It will be able to produce the metal that it absorbed. Once the metal it formed a contract with reaches a certain level, it will be imprinted on the Vein Land Imp, and it will be able to produce this metal even without consuming more of it. It will be able to swap out the type of metal each time it evolves its grade.
[Heart of Mineral Vein]: When the Vein Land Imp discovers an untouched mineral vein, it will be able to use its blood to activate the heart of the mineral vein and turn it into a vein fairy. The Vein Land Imp will be able to order the vein fairy to mine the mineral vein. Once the vein fairy is done mining, the Vein Land Imp can consume it to increase its power.
Faith Ability:
[Believer Change]: A portion of the energy in the totem is injected into a believer to change it from a dimensional lifeform to a Favored Believer.
Now that the Land Imp had transformed into a fully-fledged Vein Land Imp, Lin Yuan knew that this was the reason for the appearance of the tattoos.
Now that it had become an Apostle, the ability Metal Growth had also become stronger.
Previously, the Vein Land Imp could only form a contract with one type of metal each time, and it would not be able to produce that metal after it increased its grade.
But now, the metal would be imprinted onto the Vein Land Imp once the metal reached a certain level.
Previously, it would have to use up its energy to try to remember the metal.
Although the Vein Land Imp still could not imprint many types of metal after Metal Growth improved, it could still produce metal out of nothing.
As long as it had energy, it would be able to produce the imprinted metal continuously.
Essentially, the Vein Land Imp was a mineral mountain in human form.
Moreover, Heart of Mineral Vein enabled the Vein Land Imp to become a one-man army, and it could mine the mineral veins on its own.
It could even consume the vein fairy afterward and increase its own power.
Lin Yuan could not be more satisfied with the Vein Land Imp.
After the Invisible Demon had its way with the Vein Land Imp, it now regarded Lin Yuan as a god.
When the Vein Land Imp was in the subterranean world, its level had been too low for it to learn about Apostles. Nonetheless, it knew that Lin Yuan had promoted its rank in life.
As conniving as the Vein Land Imp was, it was still grateful to Lin Yuan.
It stood up and bowed to Lin Yuan as it said, “Master, I will only be loyal to you from now on.”
Heavy Mountain shot a look at the Invisible Demon, but it was no longer as frightened of the Invisible Demon as it was before.
Although it was still much weaker than the Invisible Demon, its life rank was higher than the Invisible Demon. Now, Heavy Mountain even looked down on the Invisible Demon.
Given that the Class 4 Vein Land Imp was looking at it with disdain, the Invisible Demon was made aware of the difference in their standings as dimensional lifeforms.
Lin Yuan never expected the Vein Land Imp to name itself.
However, this was a sign that it possessed high intelligence.
Yet, it seemed strange for a dwarf to name itself Heavy Mountain, and the name seemed to carry many unfulfilled hopes.
Now that the Vein Land Imp had not only evolved its bloodline but also became an Apostle, the name Heavy Mountain did seem fitting.
Lin Yuan smiled at the bowed Vein Land Imp and said, “Heavy Mountain, do work hard from now on! For now, what type of metal are you currently contracted to?”
