Chapter 102: A New Lineup, Defeating a Royal-Tier!!!
Not far from the south gate of Bimen Pass, Chongxiao, carried by an emerald green bird, had left for the north gate to provide support. Thus, only the rat-headed girl and Lian Xing remained, facing each other.
Looking at the smiling, golden-haired girl, the rat-headed girl’s expression was filled with confusion.
“You’re not even a Royal-Tier Beast Tamer…”
“And you think you can defeat me…?” Before the Cycle of Calamity’s downfall, she had killed hundreds of peak Commander-Tier Beast Tamers like Moon Rabbit every day.
It seemed she hadn’t killed in a while, her bloodlust fading, even an insect like this dared to challenge her…
At this moment, under the rat-headed girl’s sinister gaze, Lian Xing’s expression remained calm, not a ripple of emotion showing.
After all this time spent feeding and enhancing her pet beasts.
It was time to test their strength against this rat-person…
“Heaven-Gracing Curtain!”
“Red Prison Palace Master!!!”
“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!”
Dust and debris filled the air as Lian Xing summoned her pet beasts.
A graceful rabbit with a white blindfold covering its eyes emerged from the white mist, its arms and legs bound by shackles, a white silk ribbon floating behind it. Two crimson, halo-like rings hung from its soft, spiral-shaped ears.
The rat-headed girl’s breath hitched, her gaze fixed on the Red Prison Palace Master. A few seconds later, she chuckled, unable to contain her amusement.
“Mutated evolution!?”
“A mere High-Tier mutated evolution…do you think that’s enough?”
“Heeheeheeheeheeheehee~~~~”
Before the rat-girl could finish her mocking laughter, the Heaven-Gracing Curtain extended one of its ears, the red Golden Wheel spinning, aiming it at the enemy like a pistol.
“Whoosh——!!!!!”
In the next second, a powerful gust of wind erupted behind the rat-girl, sending her flying forward uncontrollably, her expression contorted.
[Raging Wind · Reverse]
The Heaven-Gracing Curtain remained motionless, watching as the rat-girl, like a dump truck, hurtled towards it. And the moment her body made contact with the Red Prison Palace Master…
A “crack” echoed.
Like a knife slicing through tofu, the rat-girl’s small body was bisected, her upper and lower halves tumbling in different directions. A look of surprise appeared in the rat-headed girl’s eyes.
Wait…
Had she just been cut in half… by a High-Tier pet beast?
Just like how they, as Royal-Tier pet beasts, couldn’t even scratch the Great Lord Biluo’s defenses, how could a mere High-Tier mutated evolution harm her physical body?
As the rat-headed girl wondered, the Heaven-Gracing Curtain closed its mouth, as if biting…
[Eclipse]
“Chomp!!”
In the next second, a spark flew, and a sharp pain shot through her exposed crystal as she was still pondering. The rat-headed girl’s confused expression turned to agony. This pain…it was like having her heart ripped out and punched…
As she watched, her face pale and covered in sweat, a rabbit tooth mark appeared on her crystal.
“What the hell?”
“Who attacked me!!!” No longer able to casually observe the opponent’s attacks, the rat-headed girl immediately regenerated her flesh, protecting her exposed crystal, and stopped rolling around.
If a Commander-Tier pet beast were bisected, it would be the end of the battle.
However, for a Royal-Tier pet beast, this injury was no different from losing a single hair.
But that strange and unknown attack just now. It had almost scared her to death…
Having her life crystal attacked…
That wasn’t a joke!!!
It was like aiming for the groin in a fight…
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!”
As Lian Xing watched, her expression thoughtful, the rat-headed girl’s body regenerated, its original form now completely gone, replaced by a giant, white rat over 30 meters tall. This size wasn’t particularly large for a pet beast. Even some Mid-Tier pet beasts could reach this size.
And for a Royal-Tier pet beast.
It was tiny…
But the white rat was covered in colorful, glittering jewelry, its sharp tail resembling a giant, multicolored lantern, swaying gently behind it.
“Lantern Tail.”
“And…Sky Thief…?”
“So that’s it…a combination of those two mutations…?”
“…”
“…”
Lian Xing simply muttered to herself.
However, the white rat stared at the golden-haired girl, dumbfounded.
Even in the Cycle of Calamity, few could recognize its species.
And as Lian Xing had said, its panel clearly displayed the words [Lantern Tail · Sky Thief]!!
She had identified both its mutations…with just a glance…?
Who was this golden-haired girl!!!?
“Boom!!!!”
“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!”
In the next second, facing the two rapidly approaching, giant red Golden Wheels, the Lantern Tail didn’t have time to think. For a Royal-Tier pet beast, this throwing speed wasn’t particularly fast. It could easily react.
Its tail flicked, and the lantern at the tip exploded, scattering countless fragments in all directions. Then, in the next second—
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!”
The Lantern Tail’s body, like a disappearing phantom, jumped and teleported between the lantern fragments, instantly bypassing the two Red Prison Palace Master rings and landing before the golden-haired girl.
It’s over…
Facing the Lantern Tail’s teleportation speed, which far exceeded the limits of human perception, Lian Xing had no chance to react. Although she didn’t understand why the opponent hadn’t summoned that powerful fawn, killing the Beast Tamer would force all her pet beasts to sever their contracts…
At this moment, just as the Lantern Tail’s claws were about to strike…
“Whoosh!”
The attack missed.
The golden-haired girl’s body, which should have been torn to shreds, dissipated like smoke.
Mist Colt, Shared Travel!!
Seeing this, the Lantern Tail’s expression twisted in frustration.
“A Viral Species…?”
“Damn brat…so troublesome… I hate dealing with Viral Species!!!”
“But before she runs out of breath, let’s kill those two pet beasts outside…” With a growl of frustration, the Lantern Tail glared at the Red Prison Palace Master and the Heaven-Gracing Curtain.
A High-Tier mutated evolution and an ordinary Commander-Tier pet beast.
Even if they had some tricks, they couldn’t possibly overcome the gap between them and a Royal-Tier pet beast!!!
However…
Just as the Lantern Tail was about to finish them off…
“Splatter, splatter, splatter——!!!”
In the next second, a torrent of white, fleshy tumors and fluid erupted from the base of the Heaven-Gracing Curtain’s ears, followed by six new rabbit ears, like extra arms, sprouting from the wounds.
The bloodline combat skill, Six Ears!!!
Seeing this, the Lantern Tail’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“A bloodline combat skill!?”
“Six Ears!?” A mere Commander-Tier Moonlight Rabbit mastering a bloodline combat skill…this was unthinkable…
And it was Six Ears…a skill it was all too familiar with…
Besides their sole Fallen Species leader, the Cycle of Calamity had four other infamous Emperors, the Four Calamities. And one of them had used Six Ears to slaughter countless beings, causing the destruction of numerous regions!!
In the next second, under the Lantern Tail’s incredulous gaze, the white rabbit before it lowered its body, scooping up large amounts of sand and gravel with its six ears and its cloak. And on its two original ears, the Red Prison Palace Master rings began to descend.
“Wait, are you planning to use Six Ears… here!?”
“Bimen Pass will be destroyed…!!!” the Lantern Tail asked, its voice filled with shock and disbelief.
Just then, enveloped in a green mist, the golden-haired girl reappeared behind the Heaven-Gracing Curtain. Facing the Lantern Tail’s conflicted expression, Lian Xing smiled.
“Are you a member of the Cycle of Calamity, or am I?”
“I don’t care. Do you?”
“…”
“…”
“!!!!!”
In the next second, under the Lantern Tail’s horrified gaze, the Heaven-Gracing Curtain swung all nine of its appendages, launching a barrage of sand, wind, and two red Golden Wheels.
At that moment, the air above the southern part of Bimen Pass seemed to…freeze.
At the east, north, and west gates, simultaneously, the three Royal-Tier pet beasts looked towards the south, their expressions filled with disbelief.
[Bloodline Combat Skill: Six Ears]
[Sand Toss (Gold) X9]
[Raging Wind (Dark Gold) X9]
[Combo X3X4X5X6X7X8X9X10X11]
[Flurry X9]
[Power Throw X9]
“Boom!!!!”
An explosion of wind.
A wave of annihilating force, like a swarm of locusts, a terrifying sand tornado, swept across the area, extending for dozens of kilometers, blowing away countless trial participants at the south gate. The entire southern section of Bimen Pass was cleaved by the straight-line hurricane.
At the epicenter of the attack, every grain of sand was like a falling meteor, creating rippling distortions in front of the Lantern Tail. The Lantern Tail gritted its teeth, the jewels on its body shining brightly, forming a protective barrier against the relentless barrage.
However, its 30-meter tall body was still pushed back uncontrollably.
A few seconds later, its feet left the ground, its body about to be swept away by the wind.
“No, I can’t hold on…”
“A mere Commander-Tier pet beast forcing me to this…!!”
At this moment, the Lantern Tail’s expression was a mixture of anger and disbelief.
But it knew…
This wasn’t the end…
The moment that rabbit had thrown its attack, the two crimson Golden Wheels had vanished.
They must be hidden, waiting for the final blow.
As long as it could see where the attack was coming from, it could survive this barrage!!!
However, even as it was about to be overwhelmed, it still couldn’t locate the Red Prison Palace Master.
What was going on!?
Was it a bluff…?
Had that High-Tier mutated Weapon Species not been thrown at all?
At that moment…
“Whoosh——!!!!!”
Without warning, from below, two crimson Golden Wheels shot upwards, bisecting the airborne white rat vertically.
Azure Edge, Penetration…before the Red Prison Palace Master’s terrifying sharpness, enhanced by daily consumption of crystals, the Lantern Tail’s Royal-Tier body was no different from tofu…
And because the ground below hadn’t been damaged, it hadn’t even realized where the attack was coming from.
This was the Red Prison Palace Master’s third Arcane Art, Dimensional Penetration!!!
However, after slicing through the Lantern Tail’s body, the Red Prison Palace Master didn’t simply pass through. Instead, its giant rings began to shift and intersect.
[Thunderclap X3]
[Thunderclap X3]
“Boom, boom, boom!!!!!!!!!!!”
Lightning crackled, the earth shook.
As the red Star Rings spun, the white rat’s body shattered like a broken mirror, exploding into countless tiny fragments. Its flesh and bones were pulverized, its skin peeled off, turning into a pool of blood.
Finally, only a multicolored crystal remained, floating in the air.
At this moment, looking at the golden-haired girl through its blurry vision, the Lantern Tail’s mind was filled with horror, its crystal trembling uncontrollably.
It, a Royal-Tier mutated pet beast…how could it be reduced to this…?
And that insect from a 10th-level region…why could it use a bloodline combat skill!?
“No, I can’t fight anymore. I have to call for help…”
“Crack—”
In the next second, a crisp cracking sound echoed, and the Lantern Tail’s panicked words were cut short. It stared at itself in disbelief.
A small crack had appeared on its life crystal, a crystal as hard as a rock, the essence of a Royal-Tier being.
