Chapter 544: Aetherbird
Chapter 544: Aetherbird (Additional Chapter for Wide-Brimmed Hat Alliance Leader)
A swirling mass of vibrant flames suddenly erupted as Fangy launched the first attack.
Frida remained calm, and only when the flames were just two meters away from her familiar did she calmly say:
"Void."
"Aether Void." The familiar Frida summoned was the Aetherbird mentioned earlier by Wang Xue Zhi.
With a flap of its wings, the Aetherbird emitted a white glow, and an invisible energy expanded outward.
In an instant, the flames in mid-air vanished.
Qiao Sang: "!!!"
Damn! Aether Void?!
The Announcer's voice chimed in at the right moment:
"Indeed! In the presence of Aether Void, all fire skills are completely nullified!"
Wang Xue Zhi suddenly interjected, "It seems Qiao Sang is quite surprised. Looks like she doesn't know much about Frida's Aetherbird."
Aether Void is not a skill but a rare trait possessed by a few flying-type companions. It can create a vacuum by depleting the air within a certain range.
In the absence of air, living beings suffocate from lack of oxygen, and flames are extinguished.
No wonder they thought Fangy would lose during their analysis... Qiao Sang's mind flashed with a single word: "Damn."
For a fire pet beast, a flying-type companion with this trait is a natural counter.
She now seriously suspected that the Beast Arena had deliberately called Frida to target Fangy!
On the battlefield, after the flames disappeared, the Aetherbird's white glow did not fade. Instead, it continued to keep its wings spread wide.
Great, it’s not planning to just create a vacuum on the stage, is it... Realizing this, Qiao Sang immediately shouted:
"Psychic Power!"
She had to interrupt this!
While neutralizing flames was one thing, causing suffocation by depleting the air was another.
She couldn't lose this match!
Qiao Sang hadn't noticed how much she had changed.
In the past, if faced with an opponent who was a level higher and had a specific counter to her, she would calmly analyze the situation and accept the loss in advance.
But now, all she could think about was how to win.
"Yah!"
Fangy's eyes glowed blue.
In the next second, the Aetherbird was slammed hard onto the ground.
Frida looked surprised.
Wasn't this supposed to be a high-class beast companion?
How could Psychic Power control a sophomore-level Aetherbird?
The Announcer also looked stunned. He regained his composure and was about to comment when Qiao Sang issued another command: "Hellfire!"
"Yah!"
Fangy's left front paw slammed into the ground, causing it to crack and explode. Flames erupted from the ground, rapidly shooting toward the Aetherbird.
Since the opponent had the Aether Void trait, close-range attacks were out of the question. Hellfire, although a fire-type skill, erupted from the ground. Even if the Aetherbird depleted the air above the ground, the ground beneath, scorched by the flames, would still cause damage. If the Aetherbird chose to dodge by flying, Qiao Sang would immediately have Fangy use Psychic Power to pin it back to the ground. She quickly weighed her options and considered other possible scenarios.
Frida remained unperturbed by the situation and calmly said:
"Dodge."
"Aether Void!"
The Aetherbird stood up and flapped its wings.
Without waiting for Qiao Sang's command, Fangy's eyes glowed blue.
But at that moment, the Aetherbird split into two, then four...
Almost in the blink of an eye, twelve Aetherbirds were flapping their wings and flying swiftly toward Fangy.
Seeing this, the Announcer quickly commented:
"Qiao Sang's familiar's psychic power is stronger than I expected. Despite the many battles, it still managed to control a higher-level Aetherbird. However, with so many clones, it will be difficult to identify the original."
"As long as the Aetherbird gets close..."
The Announcer's voice trailed off.
He gaped, eyes wide open.
On the field, the twelve Aetherbirds were simultaneously pinned to the ground by an unknown force!
Blazing flames erupted from the ground, striking the Aetherbirds with pinpoint accuracy.
All twelve Aetherbirds suffered the same fate and vanished one after another.
Soon, only one remained!
Is this the Psychic Power a High-Class Beast Companion should have... In the audience stands, faces were a mix of shock and surprise, all frozen in disbelief.
During the month on the starship, Fangy had either been training Meditation or Psychic Power, pushing her Psychic Power to the late Master-level. It wouldn't be long before her proficiency topped out. With enough internal energy, she could control a Sophomore-level familiar... Qiao Sang quickly thought about the next attack plan.
Fangy's current Psychic Power could indeed control a General-Class Beast Companion, but if the General-Class put up a full struggle, it wasn't impossible to break free. The initial success was mainly due to the opponent not understanding Fangy's true strength... Combining Psychic Power with Hellfire, it might be difficult to pull off a second time...
However, with her Psychic Power nearing the peak of Mastery, the Aetherbird shouldn't be able to break free immediately... Suddenly, Qiao Sang had an idea, her eyes brightening. She shouted:
"Spin!"
As soon as the words left her mouth, the Aetherbird, which had just been hit by Hellfire and hadn't even risen, shot up into the air and began to spin at high speed.
It could do this... The audience watched the spinning Aetherbird, as if a new world had opened up to them.
No wonder they called me over... A flicker of surprise flashed in Frida's eyes, but she quickly composed herself, determined to regain control of the battle.
She said:
"Use Air Void."
"Ji, yue..." The Aetherbird, fighting the nausea, emitted a white glow.
Fangy's eyes glowed blue, controlling the Aetherbird to spin faster.
After several seconds, Qiao Sang noticed the white glow hadn't faded and felt a sense of foreboding:
Could this Aetherbird have also trained in Anti-Dizziness?
She thought for a moment and decided not to take the risk.
"Descend!" Qiao Sang shouted.
The priority now was to interrupt the Air Void.
Opportunity! Frida's eyes gleamed, and she quickly said, "Now!"
When using Psychic Power to control a target and change its trajectory, the moment of change is the weakest point of control!
The Aetherbird stopped spinning.
But before Fangy could control it to fall to the ground, the Aetherbird's wings spread wide, and it broke free of the Bind.
A green glow enveloped its body, and it shot forward, tearing through the air at terrifying speed, heading straight for Fangy.
In the blink of an eye, the Aetherbird was in front of Fangy.
Her extensive combat experience made Fangy instinctively want to teleport.
"Fang!"
But as she began to teleport, her eyes widened, and she showed a look of pain.
Frida knew it had worked.
Everyone clearly saw the green glow on the Aetherbird fade to white just a meter away from the unnamed familiar.
