Chapter 298: Chapter 294: Swearing to Victory… Claw!
Although Bai Qi knew that the Sun Chasing Demon Wolf had not yet unleashed his full strength, he was quite satisfied that Beta could achieve this much with only its spirit power.
Influencing the spirit power of king-level creatures, even with the boost from the Mind Helmet, was quite remarkable.
At least among creatures of the same rank, besides the Super Energy Apartment, very few could withstand Beta’s spiritual attacks.
This time, Beta really stood up. It hadn’t been easy.
“Given the current combat power displayed by Beta, its bloodline level should be a High-grade Lord,” Luo Xiang concluded. He couldn’t help buttease, “However, the likelihood of duplicating these two pets of yours is basically zero. It seems like they’re just there for show.”
“It can’t be that bad, can it?”
Bai Qi scratched his head. Once he discovered the technology for combining machinery and flesh, Schuck should be replicable. As for Alpha and the others…
He decided to drop the idea.
“Alright, it’s now time for your king-level undead, isn’t it?”
A gleam flashed in Luo Xiang’s eyes. “Many people have high expectations for it, considering the way it fought three opponents at once during your competition.”
Bai Qi smiled at his comment and summoned Alpha.
Compared to his other pets, Alpha indeed made quite an impression during the competition.
“In that case, let’s begin.”
Luo Xiang snapped his fingers, and the North Wind Madness Eagle Neal appeared in the battlefield.
“Since both are King-level creatures, there is no need to suppress their power. Let’s have a real battle, and your pet has already reached the peak of the fourth stage, right?” Luo Xiang glanced at Alpha and asked.
“Yes, Alpha is at Four Stage Nine Level.”
Bai Qi nodded. As the pet that trained the most diligently in his team, Alpha naturally leveled up the fastest. It was now essentially waiting to breakthrough to the Fifth Stage.
[Name]: Death Sword Monarch (Alpha)
[Nature]: Undead Department
[Level]: Four Stage Nine Level
[Bloodline Level]: Low-grade King
[Racial skills]: Death Force Field (Transcendent Level – Proficient), Sword of Death (Transcendent Level – Perfect), Undying Flame (Super Level – Proficient), Dark Reflection (Super Level – Master), Gravity Amplification (Super Level – Master), Sword Blade Storm (Super Level – Master), Dragon Might (High Level – Perfect), Skeleton Manipulation (High Level – Perfect), Wind Wound (High Level – Perfect)
[Energy Value]: 2E4600W
“That’s good.”
Luo Xiang looked at President Qin and grinned, “President, please turn the defense power here to the maximum.”
Upon hearing this, President Qin sighed, “This will be equivalent to the defense strength of the Sixth Stage. It seems we will need to discuss upgrading our systems with the Federation afterwards.”
Despite his grumbles, President Qin still turned the power of the Space Barrier in the field to its maximum. A layer of spatial barrier promptly appeared around the combat room.
Given that the power of the North Wind Madness Eagle was already unusual for a Six Stage creature and Alpha’s Death Force Field was an overly powerful ability, judging from the last two fights, the barrier might be broken if the power wasn’t at its highest.
Looking at the substantial space barrier around them, Bai Qi gave a slight nod. He then turned to Alpha, “Alpha, give your all in the upcoming battle. Winning or losing doesn’t matter. Let’s see what your current limit is.”
Clatter, clatter.
(Boss, I won’t lose.)
Bai Qi was startled at the response. Seeing Alpha, with the Sword of Death in hand, fly into mid-air, he was left amazed.
Not even daunted by a six-stage mythical king-level creature, was Alpha this confident now?
“Then, let the competition begin!”
Seeing that both pets were in position, President Qin announced the start of the match, and at the same time, Alpha launched its attack.
Facing North Wind Madness Eagle, which was of a higher level, Alpha didn’t resort to any fancy techniques. Instead, it wielded the Sword of Death and sped towards the North Wind Madness Eagle relying purely on speed.
However, as the main pet and Luo Xiang’s longtime traveling companion, the North Wind Madness Eagle’s speed was naturally not weak. With a flap of its wings, it dodged Alpha’s sword slash with agility. Simultaneously, a cold bonechilling wind arose from nowhere, blowing towards Alpha.
In response to the North Wind Madness Eagle’s attack, a shadow crystal instantly appeared in front of it, and a mirror image emerged from it.
Then, golden light enveloped the mirror image, causing it to start spinning rapidly. Wind blades and metallic edges appeared one by one, encircling the mirror image as it spun at high speed, forming a blade storm that confronted the North Wind Madness Eagle’s cold wind.
“Mirror Image + Sword Blade Storm? Hmm, using the effect of physical immunity to compensate for the lack of defensive power of the Mirror Image, that’s a good idea.”
Bai Qi nodded slightly, originally the primary function of Dark Reflection was to block damage and confuse the enemy. With this combination, it unexpectedly added an extra fighting force.
However, Alpha was clearly not satisfied just yet. Seeing that the storm created by the mirror image’s sword blade barely held up against the Cold Wind, a demonically red light flashed in Alpha’s eyes. An Undying Flame immediately attached itself to the storm of the sword blade, transforming into a fire tornado and charged towards the North Wind Madness Eagle.
As the fire tornado clashed with the Cold Wind, the whole battlefield abruptly transformed into an odd environment, alternating quickly between cold and hot. The ground under the combatants began to fracture gradually.
Nevertheless, after the fire tornado advanced a certain distance, it stopped, unable to proceed any further. In contrast, the North Wind Madness Eagle appeared to glide effortlessly.
A six-stage mythical species, whether in terms of energy value or skill intensity, was much stronger than ordinary creatures of the same tier.
But Alpha apparently didn’t plan on hurting the opponent with the fire tornado. In the instant when the two sides reached a stalemate, Alpha’s wind wings on his back vibrated and he broke through the Cold Wind in an instant, swinging the Sword of Death to stab directly at the wing of the North Wind Madness Eagle.
The primary target for a creature of the flying system, like this one, would naturally be to disable its ability to fly.
The North Wind Madness Eagle seemed to understand the uniqueness of the Sword of Death as well. With a sharp howl, a gust of wind suddenly enveloped its wing. Instead of retreating, the Eagle advanced, striking at the Sword of Death with its wing.
Seeing this, Alpha did not change his attack style, instead, he accelerated his speed to stab at the North Wind Madness Eagle once again.
As expected, the whirlwind on the body surface of the North Wind Madness Eagle could not completely obstruct the Sword of Death. The surface whirlwind didn’t last a moment, falling directly into silence.
However, in return, the trajectory of the Sword of Death was affected by the whirlwind. Unbeknownst to anyone, its course had veered off, passing by the wing of the North Wind Madness Eagle without hurting it at all.
“Using a minimal force to move a heavy weight? Could wind skills also be manipulated in this way?”
Bai Qi widened his eyes, stunned by this revelation. The wind moves unpredictably, but when most people use wind skills, they usually focus on exploiting its cutting attribute. Techniques like the North Wind Madness Eagle’s, using countless small vortexes in the whirlwind to divert an attack, were indeed rare.
Alpha was equally surprised. Since he had obtained the Sword of Death, this was the first enemy that had evaded the attack of the Sword of Death with such cleverness.
But Alpha’s surprise lasted only for an instant and he launched another attack.
This time, Alpha showcased his terrifying speed, creating countless sword shadows to attack all parts of the North Wind Madness Eagle.
If one attack isn’t enough, then launching countless attacks would compensate for it!
“The effects of personally experiencing this speed and watching it from afar are indeed not quite the same.”
Feeling the information transmitted from the North Wind Madness Eagle, Luo Xiang couldn’t help but marvel.
“Instructor Luo is, it’s quite clear that the North Wind Madness Eagle hasn’t gotten serious yet.”
Bai Qi smirked, even though it seemed the North Wind Madness Eagle was being hit by Alpha without the power to fight back, a closer look revealed something else. Each time the Sword of Death broke through the whirlwind defense of the North Wind Madness Eagle, the Eagle would narrowly dodge with almost imperceptible movements.
These movements were minuscule to the point where from afar, it looked like Alpha was attacking nothing more than an illusion.
“I suppose so…”
Luo Xiang replied with a faint smile without addressing Bai Qi’s comment directly.
Creak, creak.
(Master, it is strong!)
At this moment, Alpha suddenly transmitted a message to Bai Qi.
Although short, Bai Qi could feel Alpha’s excitement, including his delight in challenging strong opponents.
“It appears Alpha has been pent-up recently-”
Ever since returning to Gusu City, although Alpha had been training incessantly, he had curbed his strength to focus on details. It had indeed been a long time since he was able to act without any restrictions.
It seemed, when there was nothing else to do, he should take on more tasks allowing his pets to stretch their legs. After all, theory without practice is empty.
While Bai Qi was thinking, a figure suddenly leaped out of the fire tornado, soaring high above the North Wind Madness Eagle. Clutching the Gravity Sword, which had somehow appeared in the hands of the Mirror Image, it struck down violently on the North Wind Madness Eagle.
To prevent the North Wind Madness Eagle from dodging, the Mirror Image maximized the gravity surrounding its body as it reached the highest point, descending faster than Alpha’s attack speed, and in an instant, arrived above the North Wind Madness Eagle.
If hit directly by the Gravity Sword, even a mythical species like North Wind Madness Eagle would not be spared under such terrifying gravity.
However, just as the Gravity Sword was about to hit the North Wind Madness Eagle, its body suddenly dissipated into a gust of wind. At the same time, a sharp claw emerged from the Cold Wind behind Alpha’s main body and attacked Alpha’s back.
How could a mythical kind of king be easily ambushed?
But as a speed mutant species, Alpha’s reaction was also extremely fast. Seeing the enemy in front of him dissipate into the wind, without moving his body, his arm rotated like a machine, directly stabbing at the North Wind Madness Eagle behind him.
This move was a standard operation when Alpha was still a mere skeleton soldier.
Although Alpha’s move caught North Wind Madness Eagle off guard, yet before the Sword of Death could touch the North Wind Madness Eagle, Alpha was hit by some kind of invisible attack and his crystal armor shattered.
“A stealth attack? No, its form was hidden by the Cold Wind.”
Bai Qi was taken aback when he saw what was happening, quickly assessing the North Wind Madness Eagle’s attacking method.
“I definitely want one, just thinking about the Sword of Sworn Victory gives me chills-“
