Chapter 421: Scythe Meerkat
Chapter 421: Scythe Meerkat
"Wow!"
The stands erupted into a cacophony of noise.
An ordinary High School Student match couldn't ignite their enthusiasm.
But this one was different. Both sides had deployed High-Class Beast Companions, and the Blazing Star Hound's string of attacks was so smooth, completely overwhelming its opponent of the same level, ending the battle in just a few moves!
"This Blazing Star Hound is so cool!"
"Absolutely amazing! The pacing of the battle was flawless. After casting Hellfire, it even teleported to deliver a Flame Fang, and it didn't panic at all when caught by the Super Venomous Scorpion. A Professional Beastmaster's familiar couldn't have done better!"
"I have to admit, it's pretty impressive. Do you think Qiao Sang will send out Icechill next?"
"I heard that before Icechill evolved, it was actually the weakest of Qiao Sang's three familiars. I didn't believe it at first, but after watching the matches these past two days, I'm starting to believe it..."
"Don't be ridiculous! When Icechill was still a Glacialia, didn't you see it use Frostflower Seal?!"
"But that was just one flower, right?"
"That was to mislead the opponent! Didn't you see it release dozens of flowers later?"
"Oh."
...
On the field.
Two familiars, clad in white lab coats and muscular, carried the unconscious Super Venomous Scorpion away on a stretcher.
Bai Binbin's face was filled with sorrow.
He never expected to lose so suddenly!
Before he could wallow in his grief, he suddenly felt a burning gaze.
Following the gaze, Bai Binbin saw the Blazing Star Hound staring at him.
Damn, why are you looking at me? What's so interesting about me? Why are you staring like that... Bai Binbin's heart tightened, feeling immense pressure, and he momentarily forgot to continue mourning.
Fangy looked at Bai Binbin with an expectant expression.
Two matches, one down, one to go!
It can still keep fighting!
The next opponent is the Scythe Meerkat... Qiao Sang thought to himself.
Soon, the referee gave the command to summon familiars.
Bai Binbin formed the hand seals and summoned a familiar with a yellow body, bent antennae, and three white scythes on each paw.
"Scythe!"
As soon as the Scythe Meerkat appeared, it raised its paws, slashed left and right, and struck a cool pose.
"Fangy"
Fangy sized up its opponent, which was only about a meter tall, and showed a slightly disdainful expression.
It looks so weak...
"Scythe!"
At that moment, the Scythe Meerkat lifted its head, looking at its formidable opponent without a hint of fear. Instead, it hopped a couple of times and called out to Fangy, its eager expression clear.
Fangy's eyes lit up.
Although this opponent looks a bit weak, its attitude is something Fangy likes!
The mechanical sound signaling the start of the battle rang out.
The Scythe Meerkat immediately dashed toward the blackened ground.
As it stepped onto the blackened ground, a bright light seemed to flash over its surface.
It didn't stop, instead moving left and right, changing its path as it ran toward other blackened areas.
The Scythe Meerkat ran faster and faster, its figure becoming a blur.
Then, the blur split into two, and then four.
The audience buzzed with excitement.
"This Scythe Meerkat must have the Poison Boost trait, running specifically on the ground with residual poison."
"Obviously, and its speed is pretty impressive."
"It looks like it's planning to attack first, but the Blazing Star Hound is in the air. How can it attack?"
Just as the person finished speaking, the four blurs converged and ran in a straight line.
Then, one blur leaped onto the leading blur and propelled itself several meters into the air.
Immediately, the trailing afterimage followed, leaping onto the stationary Scythe Meerkat and then springing up to the one already in the air, before making a powerful jump.
The final afterimage mimicked the previous two Scythe Meerkats, leaping three times in rapid succession, its speed so swift that it appeared in front of Fangy in the blink of an eye.
"Scythe!"
The Scythe Meerkat swung its scythe-shaped claws, its body tilting slightly as a cold gleam flashed across the blade.
It seemed to be preparing a triple slash, a Skill where each strike was faster than the last, and the force of each subsequent strike was twice that of the previous one. With the boost from the Poison Boost Trait, if a familiar of the same level with weak defense was hit three times in a row, it would likely be finished off immediately...
Qiao Sang remained calm, knowing that among her three familiars, Fangy had the strongest Combat Awareness. It must be waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
In the air, the Scythe Meerkat executed a stylish sidestep, raising its scythe-shaped claws to strike down at Fangy.
The blade glinted coldly, but before it could land, the Scythe Meerkat suddenly plummeted from the sky, hitting the ground with a thud and creating a deep crater.
Bai Binbin was utterly baffled, looking up at the Blazing Star Hound in the sky, whose eyes were now glowing with a blue light.
Is this Psychic Power?!
The next second, his face changed drastically as he saw the Blazing Star Hound open its mouth.
"Quick, get out of the way!" Bai Binbin shouted.
"Scythe..."
The Scythe Meerkat, hearing its Beastmaster's command, forced its eyes open despite the intense pain, only to see the flames closing in.
"Bang!!"
Spinning flames descended vertically into the crater, their light illuminating the arena as the scorching flames struck the Scythe Meerkat with pinpoint accuracy.
"Scythe!!!"
The Scythe Meerkat let out a piercing scream and fell silent.
"Whistle!"
The mechanical familiar with the Referee Badge floated over to the crater, inspected it, and blew the whistle, signaling the end of the match.
The audience stands erupted in noise.
Although the Blazing Star Hound's victory was expected, the process was thrilling to watch.
Especially the Scythe Meerkat's earlier series of actions were particularly impressive. It showed no fear against a stronger opponent, taking the initiative to attack and using the Poison Boost Trait to increase its speed, followed by the Shadow Clone Skill to leap to the Blazing Star Hound's position.
Because of its impressive performance, the Blazing Star Hound's use of Psychic Power and Flame Vortex to end the match seemed even more impressive.
Even though it was normal for a High-Class Beast Companion to defeat an Intermediate Beast, it still felt incredibly satisfying.
"What was the Blazing Star Hound's initial form again? I want to bond with one..."
"I'm not sure, but it's a familiar from the Yuhua Region. You can look it up online."
"I feel like this Blazing Star Hound has incredibly fast reaction speed. Its Psychic Power is so strong, it just sent the Scythe Meerkat flying. I didn't even react when the Scythe Meerkat leaped up."
"You've never even undergone a single replenish. It's normal that you didn't react."
"..."
...
In the arena.
"Yah!"
Fangy landed on the ground and let out a loud call, declaring its victory.
"Yah?"
Just as it finished, Fangy felt a sudden discomfort and looked puzzled.
Qiao Sang spoke softly, "You stepped on the poison."
"Yah Yah!"
Fangy quickly teleported back into the air.
Qiao Sang: "..."
