Chapter 488: Ku!
Chapter 488: Ku!
On the field.
The red energy ball shot into the sky, reaching its peak before exploding with a sudden burst.
Flame Rain descended, the temperature skyrocketing. The scorching flames seemed to burn the heavens, delivering a powerful visual impact and a sense of overwhelming destruction, as if the audience stands were in a completely different world.
If this were to land on Pare Oko, even a Champion-level familiar would be done for... The audience held their breath, their eyes fixed on the field.
Especially the viewers from the Hollow Plains, they dared not even breathe, fearing that Pare Oko might be gone in the next second.
Pare Oko looked up at the sky, its vision completely engulfed by the flames.
"Papa..."
It wanted to move, but it couldn't.
Tang Yi somehow sensed Pare Oko's state and, in an instant, had a guess: the Ghost Ring Specter from the previous match must have had the Cursed Body trait!
Blazing Charge was powerful, but it shouldn't have left a Champion-level familiar unable to move. It seemed Pare Oko had also been affected by the Cursed Body... Qiao Sang's heart raced as she saw Pare Oko's body still half-buried in the ground.
Cursed Body: when attacked, there's a 30% chance to stun the target, making it unable to move for a short time... The Treasure Seeker is formidable! It managed to hit Pare Oko with both traits!
This could be the perfect opportunity to end the match!
"Thunder Net!" Tang Yi's command rang out.
As he gave the command, he clenched his fist and then relaxed it.
Don't panic. Even if Pare Oko is stunned and can't move for a short time, its internal energy can still flow, and it can still use skills. It's not that serious... Think positively. Even if Pare Oko could move, its large size would make it impossible to dodge such dense Mars Rain.
Tang Yi's voice clearly reached Qiao Sang's ears, and she made a quick decision:
"Destructive Beam!"
The Treasure Seeker had created this opportunity, and it couldn't be missed!
A yellow electric arc appeared on Pare Oko's body, lightning flashing wildly, quickly forming a massive half-ring Thunder Net about a meter above Pare Oko.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The flames fell densely and wildly, completely igniting the half-ring Thunder Net, causing continuous explosions.
Many flames pierced through the gaps in the Thunder Net and landed on Pare Oko's body.
"Papa!!!"
"Ahhh!!!"
The red flames quickly ignited on Pare Oko's body, and both Pare Oko and Tang Yi let out agonizing screams.
Pare Oko, hearing its Beastmaster's voice, glanced in Tang Yi's direction through its pain.
After that glance, it looked up, gritted its teeth, and its internal energy surged. Yellow electric arcs flashed, and the lightning intensified, making the Thunder Net much denser.
At that moment, a thick white light beam, more than two meters wide, shot down from the sky, its power so great that it blasted through the Thunder Net formed by countless electric arcs, striking Pare Oko directly!
"Papa!!!"
"Ahhh!!!"
Pare Oko and Tang Yi screamed in unison again.
The Thunder Net dissipated, leaving Pare Oko with no protection. The Flame Rain fell mercilessly, hitting it without mercy.
Bond Evolution can be this painful... It seems the online rumors are true: when a familiar is in pain, the Beastmaster feels it too, though the intensity is less for the Beastmaster. Otherwise, who would dare to let a Bond Evolution familiar enter the arena... Seeing Tang Yi's pained expression, Qiao Sang inwardly sighed with relief.
After some careful thought, although Pare Oko is a Champion-level familiar, the Bond Evolution means that Tang Yi also feels the pain. The pain distracts Tang Yi, making it difficult for him to issue commands in a timely manner.
Of course, this is also why they engaged in direct combat right after the Bond Evolution. If they had some time to adapt and train, or if Pare Oko had received more replenishment, this situation wouldn't have arisen.
Moreover, even if Pare Oko gained a Dark Attribute, it's not something to be overly concerned about.
Tang Yi doesn't have a Golden Finger, so he can't immediately know all of Pare Oko's new skills. Pare Oko also can't instantly master new skills like Fangy and the others.
The additional Dark Attribute at most means that Tang Yi needs to be cautious of Dark-type traits.
However, such caution might not be necessary... Qiao Sang's heart raced as she saw Pare Oko stop screaming.
Under the influence of Moonlight Power, the Mars Rain and Destructive Beam are the most powerful skills Fangy can currently use. If Pare Oko can withstand this, she can only say one thing: "Impressive."
The Flame Rain continued to fall, and the audience was stunned, unable to believe what they were seeing.
Even the audience from the Yuhua Region couldn't help but doubt their eyes.
A Champion-level familiar, the only one since the National Championship, was being dominated?
There was no intense battle, just a one-sided beating?
A Champion-level familiar, this is a Champion-level familiar!
"I don't understand, I really don't understand. Who gets it? Why is Pare Oko just staying on the ground? Could it be that it was immobilized by the Blazing Star Hound's Blazing Charge from the start?"
"That's impossible. Think about it, this is a Champion-level familiar. There's no way it's that weak."
"Then why is it staying still? I can understand the Mars Rain, since Flame Rain falls everywhere, it's better to stay and use Thunder Net to block. But why didn't it dodge the Destructive Beam? It can't be that its reaction is that slow, it's a Champion-level familiar."
"Maybe it's still affected by the curse from the Ghost Ring Specter?"
"That's unlikely. What kind of curse would make Pare Oko act like it's not a Champion-level familiar?"
"Not sure. We'll have to watch the replay to figure it out."
"This match, Qiao Sang is going to win, right..."
The audience from the Hollow Plains fell silent, the situation on the field making it impossible for them to confidently claim that Tang Yi would definitely win.
The audience from the Yuhua Region, on the other hand, had bright eyes, their breathing quickening, and their faces flushed with excitement.
Pare Oko lay on the ground, eyes closed, its body scorched.
Tang Yi, having recovered from the pain, looked at the motionless Pare Oko and his breath caught.
Pare Oko had evolved...
He knew that the Bond Evolution meant the familiar's pain would be felt by the Beastmaster, and he had mentally prepared for it, so why couldn't he bear it?
If he had endured it and issued commands in time, Pare Oko wouldn't be in this state...
It's all my fault...
For a moment, Tang Yi felt something stuck in his throat, making him incredibly uncomfortable.
At the same time, a tangible sense of distress materialized within Pare Oko’s body.
His Beastmaster is sad.
Why is he sad?
Is it because he’s about to lose?
“Papa.”
A mysterious strength surged within Pare Oko.
In the next second, Pare Oko struggled to open his eyes, dragging his injured body, and slowly stood up.
Qiao Sang: “!!!”
Tang Yi: “!!!”
The entire arena was stunned!
“Fangy!”
Fangy, high in the sky, suddenly lit up, staring at his standing opponent with an excited expression.
Damn! Pare Oko can stand up even after such severe injuries?! No, I need to finish him off! I must act quickly! Qiao Sang took a deep breath and quickly issued an order:
“Blazing Charge!”
“Fangy!”
Fangy let out a loud cry, flames enveloping him as he strained his limbs. But just as he was about to attack, he found himself unable to move.
Fangy blinked his wet eyes at his Beastmaster.
Qiao Sang: “!!!”
He was too excited and almost forgot that Fangy would be immobilized for a while after using Destructive Beam!
But it won’t be long, just a few seconds. As long as I attack before Pare Oko can counter!
If Pare Oko were in prime condition, a one-second delay would be enough for Fangy to be hit, but with his current injuries, there’s no way he can move that fast!
Two seconds, just two more seconds!
“Prepare!” Qiao Sang shouted loudly.
“Fangy!”
Fangy called out, hovering in mid-air. Though he couldn’t move, his body was engulfed in roaring flames, ready to attack as soon as the immobilization ended.
Sensing Pare Oko’s determination, Tang Yi’s spirit lifted. He waved his hand and shouted:
“Destructive Beam!”
At that moment, he and Pare Oko seemed to share a single mind.
He knew this was their only chance!
Blazing Star Hound had just used Destructive Beam and was immobilized.
And in Pare Oko’s current state, he could only attack once.
Pare Oko, being a Champion-level familiar, could unleash all his internal energy in a single Destructive Beam. As a High-Class Beast Companion, Blazing Star Hound was bound to lose!
“Papa!”
Pare Oko, dragging his injured body, looked resolute. His internal energy was now boiling within him.
A terrifying beam of white light suddenly erupted from the depths of Pare Oko’s throat.
“Fangy”
High in the sky, Fangy, despite his excitement, felt an unprecedented sense of danger.
Pare Oko’s mouth opened wider, and a blinding white light shot out!
But just as the white light had barely traveled half a meter, a strange purple energy suddenly appeared within Pare Oko’s body.
“Pa”
Pare Oko’s expression and body suddenly froze.
In the next second, his energy dissipated, and he lost all strength.
Under the panoramic view, the Destructive Beam seemed to lack the necessary energy and dissipated.
Pare Oko’s body shrank, transforming back into Pare Lulu’s form!
A flame from the sky struck Pare Lulu, hitting her with full force!
“Bang!”
A loud explosion echoed as Pare Lulu was hurled dozens of meters away, lying motionless.
“Fangy!”
The audience stands were eerily silent, devoid of any sound.
“Qu!”
In the strange, oppressive silence, the Mechanical Familiar wearing the Referee Badge blew the whistle.
