Chapter 636: Directly Attacking the Beastmaster
Chapter 636: Directly Attacking the Beastmaster
Fangy still remembered what this gesture from their Beastmaster meant.
She raised her head, and a crimson Energy Orb, brimming with terrifying power, instantly condensed deep in her throat and shot upward.
This is Mars Rain? The woman's heart skipped a beat as anxiety and panic surged within her.
They had misjudged this Beastmaster with the orange-yellow Star Array. They thought it would be enough to find a Beastmaster capable of countering Spatial Shift to block him, but they never anticipated that he would bring all four of his familiars, ready for aerial combat.
Moreover, these four familiars seemed far from ordinary, almost immediately overwhelming them.
Now, he was even using large-scale attack Skills...
The woman didn't hesitate, decisively abandoning her previous plan and shouting loudly:
"Run!"
"Devour!"
Ravenous Swallow let out a roar, flapping its wings forcefully and swiftly retreating.
"Candace! Come back here!" Dik was both shocked and furious, unable to believe she would leave him behind like this.
"I'll send someone to save you!" Candace's voice grew fainter.
Dik's eyes twitched, and the veins on his forehead bulged.
Originally, he wasn't responsible for this area, but he happened to be able to counter Spatial Shift, so he came over. He never expected to be captured before even summoning his ace familiar, and now he was being abandoned by his so-called teammate.
If this gets back, where will my face be?
"Candace..." Dik glared at the departing woman, vowing to make her pay when he returned.
At that moment, the crimson Energy Orb reached its peak.
With a loud "bang", Flame Rain suddenly descended.
Dik, bound in a position where he couldn't see the incoming Flame Rain, still felt the rising temperature and the sound of the flames falling from above, sensing the impending danger.
Just as he was about to call out to Lunaram, Qiao Sang's calm voice rang out:
"Don't worry, I won't let her go."
Dik lifted his head and looked at the girl nearby.
This action also allowed him to see the sky filled with Flame Rain.
The flames seemed to serve as a backdrop, surrounding the girl. Her hair and eyes appeared to have turned red, but her expression remained calm and unperturbed.
Then, he saw Candace and Ravenous Swallow being swiftly pulled back by a black shadow.
Candace screamed:
"Ahh..."
Her voice was quickly drowned out by the explosion of the flames hitting Ravenous Swallow. It had no resistance and fainted, falling downward.
"Treasure Seeker, bring them over", Qiao Sang said upon seeing the situation.
She didn't intend to kill anyone.
"Xunxun~"
Treasure Seeker called out, maintaining the Shadow Control gesture, its eyes glowing blue as it looked at Candace and her familiar.
In the next second, they appeared on Fangy's back.
One more... Qiao Sang glanced at the unconscious woman and Ravenous Swallow, then turned to look at the man being protected by Lunaram nearby.
Lunaram had expanded its Barrier from one to six sides, providing 360-degree protection for itself and its Beastmaster.
Inside the Barrier, the black shadow still tightly bound the man.
Qiao Sang couldn't tell if the Barrier was resistant to Shadow Control or if the control had already been established, making the Barrier ineffective afterward. Her months of training had her pondering for a moment, but she quickly refocused and analyzed the current situation.
The Beast Identifier mentioned that Lunaram's power is strongest at night. Since it's currently daytime, as a Psychic Type familiar, Lunaram's defenses rely entirely on its own energy. Fangy's Mars Rain is already at Mastery Level, so it's unlikely that Lunaram can hold out for much longer...
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The falling Flame Rain struck the Barrier, causing explosions of flames. The Barrier began to crack and shatter.
However, just as the Barrier was about to collapse, a Blue Light emanated from Lunaram's body, and the Barrier rapidly condensed, restoring itself to its original state.
Flames continued to fall, and the Barrier kept patching itself up.
After about ten seconds, the Barrier finally shattered and disappeared.
"Help me block it!" Dik shouted.
In fact, he didn't need to say anything. The moment the Barrier broke, Lunaram teleported, tightly embracing its Beastmaster and using its body to shield him from the falling Flame Rain.
The Teleport skill, when proficient enough, can transport a target that is in contact. However, Dik's limbs were bound by a dark shadow, and the other end was firmly attached to an unknown Ghost-type Companion Beast.
In this situation, a single teleport could tear his body apart. He didn't dare take that risk.
Veins bulged on Dik's face as he struggled to break free from the Bind.
He even tried using his teeth, but no matter how hard he pulled, the dark shadow showed no signs of tearing.
What should he do? What should he do next... Dik's mind raced.
That Ghost-type Companion Beast clearly used Spatial Shift, yet its Shadow Control didn't disappear.
Using two Advanced Skills simultaneously?
It was outrageous!
What should he do?
He could feel Lunaram's energy waning.
If he didn't break free from this situation, he would end up like that hateful Candace...
But he couldn't summon another familiar right now.
The other side had four familiars, while his only one was still taking damage... Dik suddenly had an idea and glanced at the girl nearby, his gaze turning cold.
There was one more option...
Dik didn't speak but instead rubbed his bound hands against Lunaram twice.
This was a code phrase between him and Lunaram.
He dealt with unsavory business and always needed some means to save his life.
Giving commands to his familiar every time he faced an enemy would make them more cautious. Only a sudden, unexpected attack could solve the problem quickly.
The two rubs not only signaled an attack but also a direct assault on the Beastmaster.
The Beastmaster was the key to everything.
While Lunaram was still standing, he could make it attack the girl. If it succeeded, it was her bad luck. If it failed, the four familiars around her would be distracted.
As long as that unnamed Ghost-type Companion Beast stopped using Shadow Control, he could drop down, summon Lunaram back, or even summon his ace familiar...
"Lunaram..."
Flames exploded around Lunaram, and despite the intense pain, it sensed its Beastmaster's movements. It struggled to lift its head and looked at the human nearby, its eyes glowing blue.
A Blue Scythe Blade materialized out of thin air above Qiao Sang's head.
