“Things are looking a bit grim for Abyss Force Ri Feather.”
Samuel sighed, his tone subtly implying, ‘I knew it.’
“Frosty Steel Bone’s abilities are extrely unique. The speed at which it creates an aerial ice domain is enough for it to establish an environnt suitable for a demolition-style play.
And for Abyss Force Ri Feather to break out of this disadvantage, it will inevitably be drawn into a war of attrition.
And Frosty Steel Bone fears attrition the least.
Its Permafrost Armor and Ghostly Physique allow for extrely fast energy recovery.”
He said, then glanced at Xie An Yan with a playful look, his tone clearly provocative.
“However, Mingxi is not entirely without a chance. Abyss Force Ri Feather’s speed is their advantage. If she is willing to let Abyss Force Ri Feather destroy the ice rock clusters at the cost of severe injury, there’s still a slight possibility of winning.”
“Miss Xie, do you think Mingxi will consider taking the risk to engage in close combat, leveraging Abyss Force Ri Feather’s speed advantage for a gamble?
Moreover, Abyss Force Ri Feather’s lee skills are actually more threatening.”
Xie An Yan had been vigilant, so she imdiately realized he was setting another linguistic trap.
And slandering Ming Shen in the process.
What an annoying man.
Xie An Yan did not fall for it. She articulated clearly, “Mr. Hill makes a lot of sense! Just as much sense as your predictions!
But I don’t think Ming Shen will choose this tactic.
Frosty Steel Bone’s close-range defense and counter-damage abilities are extrely outstanding, so blindly engaging in close combat is too risky.
Ming Shen is just young, not stupid.”
aning, Samuel, who ca up with such a strategy to break the situation, was probably a fool.
Samuel was sowhat surprised by her firm decisiveness.
He had different guiding thods for different comntators. This Xie An Yan was not a celebrity; her ergence in their line of work was primarily as Mingxi’s exclusive comntator.
Her comntary couldn't even be called having a personal style yet.
In his eyes, she was just a rookie fresh out of the gate.
She should have been easy to deal with.
But this rookie was surprisingly tough; she didn't fall into the trap and even turned the tables on him.
She was a troublemaker, a bit thorny.
The corner of Samuel’s mouth under his round beard twitched slightly, and he did not continue to argue.
The situation on the battle stage grew increasingly perilous.
Frosty Steel Bone seized an opportunity when Golden Yuanbao failed to dodge in ti, smashing its giant fist into the ground.
“Ice Age.”
A powerful surge of freezing air rapidly spread outwards from it as the center. The entire ground of the arena was instantly covered in thick ice, and even the ice crystals in the air seed to receive a command, becoming denser and more active.
Golden Yuanbao’s movent space was once again compressed to the extre!
“It’s ti to end this!”
Bing i’s eyes flashed with cold light, “Extre Ice: Crushing Ice Fist!”
Frosty Steel Bone’s massive body erupted with astonishing speed. Its eerie blue soul fire burned fiercely under its ice armor, and its entire right fist swelled several tis in size, carrying the power to shatter mountains and the chill to freeze souls, as it slamd towards the movent-restricted Golden Yuanbao!
The fist wind carried a chilling ice and snow, and wherever it passed, space itself seed to solidify and shatter!
In the nick of ti!
Mingxi’s pupils suddenly contracted, but her voice remained unusually calm.
“Myriad Thunder Heavenly Prison.”
Golden Yuanbao, which had been passively taking hits, had lightning energy burning around its body like flas, making it appear like a purple-gold sun!
Myriad Thunder Heavenly Prison, a God Rank lightning-elent skill, summons a thundercloud to envelop the target area, continuously raining down countless bolts of lightning to strike all enemies within the range for several seconds.
Each lightning bolt has a high chance of inflicting a ‘paralysis’ effect.
And the mont the pet retracts its energy, the thundercloud will instantly burst, causing a massive area-of-effect damage.
The characteristic of this skill is its ultimate group area damage. Its visual effect is extrely stunning, suitable for use when enemies are concentrated, and can instantly turn the tide of battle.
Its drawbacks are also quite obvious.
Firstly, the small lightning bolts fall randomly, giving a 'cannon hitting a mosquito' feeling in one-on-one combat.
Moreover, just releasing this skill consus one-fifth of the pet's total energy!
If one wishes to maintain it for a long ti, it consus tens of thousands per second.
Secondly, the cooldown ti is very long, lasting 24 hours.
Such a long cooldown is comparable to Little Silver Flower’s Reverse Scale!
At this mont, thunderclouds gathered in the sky.
Between heaven and earth, there was first a mont of Silence.
The sound of wind, the whistling of ice and snow... all miscellaneous noises seed to be instantly wiped away by an invisible giant hand.
The oppressive Silence was like a tangible entity, weighing heavily on the hearts of every person and every pet, even the air stopped flowing.
Imdiately following that, was the source.
Blinding lightning burst forth from Golden Yuanbao’s body, and its wings suddenly spread open, as if grasping the veins of an invisible firmant.
Vast lightning energy surged upwards from its core, piercing straight through the clouds!
The open sky at the top of the stadium was forcibly torn open, revealing a massive, swirling vortex.
Within the vortex, there was no darkness, but endless, boiling, churning purple-white thunder-lava!
“Hiss!”
Almost everyone in the entire stadium gasped, and the temperature index inside the venue soared!
“Boom—!”
The first lightning strike, rather than a small bolt, was a colossal pillar of thunder supporting heaven and earth, crashing down with a wrath that seed to co from the cosmos!
It instantly illuminated the entire world.
And cast a pale silhouette of everything on the battle stage.
The ground trembled violently. The struck area was not scorched black, but directly transford into a molten, fiery red pit!
What ice rock clusters?
Not even a fart was left!
But this was rely the prelude.
The next second, the wrath of the sky completely unleashed!
The thundercloud vortex transford into a furiously spinning millstone of destruction. Countless lightning bolts, varying in thickness, no longer fell ‘one by one,’ but poured down like a torrential downpour.
They were no longer regular straight lines, but like billions of violent thunder snakes and thunder dragons, twisting, roaring, vying to pounce on the battle stage!
“Boom! Crack! Bang—!”
Interspersed with the screams of Frosty Steel Bone.
But under the continuous roar of thunder, its screams were like those of gnats, completely annihilated by the thunder’s roar.
Continuous rumbling, a deafening symphony of explosions!
Before one lightning bolt had faded, ten more followed.
The electric lights intertwined, forming a ‘Heavenly Prison’ that covered the entire battle stage!
The air was filled with a strong sll of ozone, as well as the scorched scent of soil, ice, and rocks being instantly vaporized and evaporated.
Oh, and the sll of burnt flesh.
Sprinkle so cumin and chili powder.
And it would be a delicious dish, perfect in color, aroma, and taste.
Within sight, there was only the dazzling lightning flashing back and forth, almost scorching the retina.
And Frosty Steel Bone, caught within it, no longer possessed its previous majestic and formidable presence. Trapped in this ‘Heavenly Prison’ of the battle stage, it had nowhere to hide.
Under the endless electric shocks, it twitched violently and turned black.
This was no longer a battle.
But a divine punishnt!
It was the Thunder God, with the most violent brushstrokes, wantonly painting a scroll of destruction upon the earth!
Finally, as the thundercloud’s energy was released to its extre, the entire vortex suddenly contracted inwards, and then—
“Boom—!”
An ultimate thunder explosion, covering the entire battle stage, was completely detonated.
A nuclear-bomb-like Impact ring, wrapped with billions of electric snakes, spread wildly in all directions, leveling everything remaining within its range, turning it into dust!
The lightning gradually faded, and thick smoke billowed upwards.
The original battle stage was now just a massive, smoldering, charred deep pit, with residual arcs of electricity still dancing like sprites within it, making soft ‘crackle’ sounds.
It was like the afterglow of lighting a cigarette after a satisfying, hard-fought battle.
And Frosty Steel Bone had vanished.
Don’t misunderstand.
It didn’t die.
When Myriad Thunder Heavenly Prison completely descended, Bing i forcibly recalled it to the Pet Space.
As a top Beast Tars, Bing i still possessed the most basic judgnt skills.
Given the seemingly world-destroying montum of Myriad Thunder Heavenly Prison, no matter how much confidence she had in her own pet, she dared not let it be completely exposed to this skill.
Receiving a red card was better than her pet kicking the bucket during the match.
“...”
The audience was as silent as death.
The comntary booth was also as if frozen on screen.
Silence.
It was Cambridge tonight.
“...Holy crap!”
A certain audience mber, who had been holding their breath and finally managed to gasp for air, shouted with a shock as if their chrysanthemum had been blown out.
“What the hell kind of skill is this?!”
“What rank?!”
“Don’t be silly, kid. With this power, with this awesoness, it must be God Rank!”
“Another God Rank? Are all of Mingxi’s pets going to have God Rank skills?”
“No! Brother, what you’re saying is a bit too terrifying.”
“...Just tell , is there a possibility?”
“Impossible!... At least Atonas couldn’t possibly!”
“Demolition style, this is the true demolition style, isn’t it?”
As the audience beca lively, the comntary booth was as quiet as a funeral parlor.
If Xie An Yan’s laughter hadn't been so unrestrained and flamboyant.
“...”
And Samuel’s face was like a clear-weather doll with its skirt torn, his smile stiff.
“...If it has this skill, why didn’t it use it from the start?”
The skill Abyss Force Ri Feather just used was almost unsolvable, even more so than its mysterious pupil techniques.
Venerable-level pets would still suffer greatly against this skill.
No tactics were needed; its release alone was an absolute threat.
Xie An Yan smiled, “Trump cards, of course, are to be used at critical monts. Who would go all out right from the start?
This is a Beast Tars competition, after all, not a wilderness chase.
Don’t you agree?”
Samuel: “...”
“God Rank?”
On the battle stage, Bing i looked at Mingxi, her heroic face showing curiosity.
Since it had already been used, Mingxi naturally had no need to hide it and nodded.
Myriad Thunder Heavenly Prison’s lethality was indeed very strong, almost Golden Yuanbao’s strongest skill currently, but its limitations were also high.
Using it in the second round to counter Frosty Steel Bone’s demolition style was a way of breaking power with power.
It couldn’t be considered a waste.
Even if it didn’t directly defeat Frosty Steel Bone, it would make Golden Yuanbao’s future opponents hesitant because of this skill.
This skill would hang over opponents’ heads like a Sword of Damocles!
“As expected of Abyss Force Ri Feather!”
Bing i gave Mingxi a thumbs up, her face full of admiration.
She wasn’t disheartened by these one or two losses, nor did she harbor any hostility towards Mingxi because of them.
A competition is a competition.
Losing ans losing.
As the strongest clan leader of the Bing i clan, she certainly possessed such magnanimity.
“Thank you.”
Mingxi thanked her on behalf of Golden Yuanbao.
Their exchange was brief, as the third round, which would determine the final outco, was next.
“Are you sure you can still go on?”
“Abyss Force!”
Golden Yuanbao indicated that Xiao Ye was incredibly strong right now!
Yes!
Very much so!
It was just two rounds; it could do another two hundred, okay?
Mingxi knew how competitive Golden Yuanbao was and assessed its energy levels and injuries.
Although the consumption was considerable, due to its 【Self-Recovery】 characteristic, the situation was indeed not serious enough to warrant ‘retirent.’
“Alright then.”
Mingxi no longer insisted on swapping it out.
0:2, continue.
Very well, the third round began like this!
Bing i sent out her remaining Venerable-level pet.
Noelgana, known as the Glacier Counter-Flow.
The light dispersed.
A slender and elegant figure slowly appeared on the battle stage, which was almost devoid of landing space due to the destruction.
Fortunately, it wasn’t as massive and imposing as Odonadoro and Frosty Steel Bone from the previous two rounds.
It was smaller in stature, only about two and a half ters tall, in a humanoid form, but its entire body was composed of a ghostly blue glacier crystal, transparent and clear, yet emanating a chilling coldness that made one’s heart palpitate.
Its face was smooth, without very distinct facial features.
Its most prominent features were two cold eyes, like the North Star.
Venerable-level, Ice and Fairy dual-elent.
Because it lived in mobile glacier zones, it was known as the 【Glacier Counter-Flow】.
Bing i’s Noelgana was actually her first pet.
In other words, it was her strongest pet in reality!
Its strength wasn't just because it was a Venerable-level pet, but more importantly, it possessed the characteristics ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) 【Ti-Ice Domain】 and 【Ice Heart Mirror Image】.
Ti-Ice Domain, a ti-rule type characteristic, where the flow of ti within the domain becos slow and uneven, greatly disrupting the opponent’s rhythm and skill chaining, and continuously stacking ‘freezing’ effects, with a small chance of transforming into ‘ti freeze,’ which is ti stop!
And Ice Heart Mirror Image can reflect energy-based skills, including ntal Impact.
How strong are these two characteristics?
Let’s just say, because of these two characteristics, it had yet to suffer a single defeat in this Starsea Cup!
Truly, it slays gods if gods block, and slays Buddhas if Buddhas block!
Noelgana stood still in the arena, making no movents.
But the entire battle space seed to be dragged into a slow, cold, and silent dinsion.
This was the effect of it activating 【Ti-Ice Domain】.
The energy around Golden Yuanbao’s body began to feel as if it was about to solidify.
“Ice Age.”
Bing i’s command was extrely concise.
Noelgana moved.
It didn’t run, but instead released energy to flatten the charred deep pit that had almost cracked to the earth’s core.
This was unavoidable; although it was a Fairy-type.
Not all Fairy-types possess Flight abilities, and Noelgana did not.
So it could only first use skills to repair the battle stage.
Mingxi and Golden Yuanbao did not stop it.
“Swoosh.”
Noelgana was indeed very effective. With one skill, such a large and deep pit was filled almost in the blink of an eye.
The mont the arena turned into an ice rink, it nimbly glided out.
Its figure was like a shadow.
Like a prince on an ice rink.
It pointed a finger at Golden Yuanbao in mid-air—
“Great Desolate Sky Prison Finger!”
