Chapter 933: Swallow
Chapter 933: Swallow (Combined)
Since Psychic Power couldn't control it, the only option was to use 2D Shadow Control. 3D Shadow Control's strength was insufficient and would definitely fail to control it, or he could use Lulu's Frost Haven, but that consumed too much energy. If it was just to control the Molted Dragon for a few seconds without being able to finish it off, it would be too wasteful... Qiao Sang's mind raced.
In an instant, the Molted Dragon raised its Claw Slash, the silver-white light condensing, and lunged fiercely at Fangy once more.
This Molted Dragon actually knows the Finisher! Qiao Sang reined in his thoughts and shouted:
"Hide!"
Fangy, panting heavily, teleported to a spot over ten meters away just as the Claw Slash was about to strike. Once it landed, it fixed its gaze on the Molted Dragon towering above it.
Fangy looked pitiful, covered in wounds and patches of missing fur. Despite its fierce expression, it seemed like a spent force, incapable of causing any harm no matter how it struggled.
Treasure Seeker had never seen Big Brother Yabao in such a state and was momentarily stunned, a mix of emotions welling up inside.
The Molted Dragon opened its mouth toward Fangy, and a terrifying silver-white energy began to condense in its throat.
At that moment, its Beastmaster's voice rang in Treasure Seeker's ear:
"Taunt!"
"Xun, Xunxun!"
Hearing this, Treasure Seeker suddenly mustered the courage to teleport to one side, shouting arrogantly and raising its short toe to beckon the Molted Dragon, as if daring it to come and attack.
Taunt, a mid-tier skill, wasn't high in level but often had remarkable effects, even on opponents of a much higher level. If the Molted Dragon was successfully taunted and focused its attacks on Treasure Seeker, the latter's erratic movement and small size would allow it to hold out for a while, even under such a level disparity... Qiao Sang quickly analyzed the situation.
The Molted Dragon glanced at Treasure Seeker, its forehead veins bulging. It suddenly threw the other Molted Dragon in its arms into the lava, turned its head, and the terrifying energy in its mouth transformed into a silver-white beam, aiming at Treasure Seeker.
"Xunxun!"
Treasure Seeker's attention was more focused than ever. It constantly teleported to avoid attacks, terrified of being hit and also wary of teleporting too close to its Beastmaster and Big Brother Yabao, potentially putting them in danger.
The Molted Dragon was clearly thoroughly enraged, maintaining the silver-white beam and sweeping it across the area where Treasure Seeker teleported.
The immense energy fluctuations caused the ground to shake, and rocks fell from the surrounding cliffs with each sweep.
At the same time, a Cobalt Blue Light emitted from Lulu, illuminating the injured Fangy.
It worked... Qiao Sang slowly exhaled, his eyes fixed on the Molted Dragon. However, his words were directed at "Xu Gehong":
"If you don't help in the battle, take Guo Ruiqi away from here first."
Steel Treasure was a formidable force. If not for Guo Ruiqi's complete lack of combat ability and minimal familiar replenishment, Steel Treasure would have joined the fight instead of staying low, fearing that the Molted Dragon might notice and only allowing Fangy and the others to absorb the Fire Attraction.
Migala paused for a moment:
"I'm not leaving."
Her mission was to protect Qiao Sang, and she couldn't just leave now.
After saying this, she looked at the Sleepy Bird.
Before she could speak, Guo Ruiqi trembled and said:
"Senior Xu, let's not stick around and hold Senior Qiao back."
Even he could see that with him around, Senior Qiao couldn't fight to his full potential.
It's you who's holding us back, not me... Migala glanced at him and said, "Stealthy Shield, take him to a safe place first."
As she spoke, a pair of eyes glowing with blue light appeared out of nowhere.
In the next second, Guo Ruiqi vanished from Steel Treasure's back.
Qiao Sang turned to "Xu Gehong."
"Don't worry, with Stealthy Shield around, he'll be fine", Migala said. "I'll stay and help you."
Pausing for a moment, she called out, "Sleepy Bird!"
"..."
Sleepy Bird didn't understand. It didn't get why the human who rented it wasn't letting it help that other human leave and instead wanted its familiar to stay and fight.
Despite her confusion, Sleepy Bird flapped its wings forcefully, and a hundred blades of air suddenly appeared, hurtling toward the Molted Dragon.
The Molted Dragon had stopped attacking and was looking around, in a state of alertness and uncertainty.
This state only appeared after Stealthy Shield's blue eyes manifested.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
All hundred blades struck the Molted Dragon.
Qiao Sang didn't understand why the Molted Dragon had suddenly stopped attacking, but she knew it was an opportunity. Her eyes lit up, and she called out, "Fusion!"
"Fangy!"
Healing Light restored Fangy to full health, and he teleported to a position dozens of meters in front of the Molted Dragon, opening his mouth.
Three different streams of flame energy shot out in succession, merging together.
A swirling, scorching flame wrapped around a golden-red beam, hurtling straight for the Molted Dragon's left eye!
At the same time, Qiao Sang issued another command: "Ice, leave the left eye!"
"Ice Emperor!"
Lulu called out, and a visible chill aura emanated from her body.
In an instant, the Molted Dragon's upper body was frozen in ice, leaving only its left eye unfrozen.
"Molten Armor!"
The fused flame successfully struck the Molted Dragon's eye, and with a loud bang, the Molted Dragon let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Lava trembled, and the Molted Dragon struggled violently, causing the ice shell to crack.
Finally, the attack was successful... Qiao Sang felt a surge of joy.
Even though fire-type skills might not cause much damage to the Molted Dragon, hitting its eye would definitely hurt it, regardless of its resistance to fire!
"Blade Feather!" Qiao Sang pressed her advantage.
Honestly, the best way to maximize damage right now would be for Steel Treasure to use Holy Sword, but since Steel Treasure was still at the initial General-Class and had already used Holy Sword once, another use would drain all its energy.
"Steel Blade!"
Steel Treasure's wings spread, and its body trembled. All its feathers glowed with a purple light and shot out.
Not far away, Sleepy Bird, seeing another flying-type familiar with all its feathers gone for the first time, forgot to continue its attack and stared wide-eyed.
In that split second, a massive dragon tail emerged from the lava and swung with tremendous force.
Sleepy Bird's strength was no match for the Molted Dragon, and the tail's sweep sent it flying backward, slamming it several hundred meters away.
The countless purple blades turned into terrifying weapons, all striking the Molted Dragon's head.
Then, a flame flashed, and Fangy bit down hard on the Molted Dragon's head.
"Gigantic Ice Spike!" Qiao Sang shouted.
"Ice Emperor!"
Lulu opened her mouth, and a layer of white frost formed on the ground beneath her feet.
At the same time, a massive ice spire, like a small mountain, appeared above the Molted Dragon and crashed down.
As it was about to land on its head, Fangy teleported away.
Bang bang bang!
Gigantic Ice Spire kept appearing, crashing down on the Molted Dragon’s head and shattering into pieces.
There were so many that even as they shattered and fell into the Lava, they couldn’t be immediately melted away.
Before long, the Molted Dragon sank into the Lava, vanishing from sight.
Did it work… Qiao Sang stared at the gradually calming Lava, her heart racing uncontrollably.
Suddenly, "Xu Gehong"’s expression changed, and he shouted:
"Shield!"
Instantly, a translucent Barrier appeared around Steel Treasure, protecting it securely.
Just as the Barrier closed in, terrifying Magma Pillars erupted from the Lava and the ground on both sides, covering almost every inch of space!
Qiao Sang felt surrounded by a sea of crimson, unable to see anything else.
The rocks above were hit by the Magma Pillars, large chunks breaking off and falling, revealing the darkened sky.
Despite the terrifying Magma Pillars, they failed to damage Steel Treasure’s Barrier in the slightest.
Meanwhile.
Outside the Barrier, Fangy and Treasure Seeker were enveloped by the Magma Pillars, lifted and covered within them.
"Seek!"
Treasure Seeker let out a blood-curdling scream and immediately closed his eyes, fainting.
Fangy’s face contorted in pain within the Magma Pillars.
Although Fangy had the Flash Fire Trait, which attracted Flame Strength to enhance its Fire-Type Moves, the Molted Dragon casting the Lava Pillars was far more powerful, a Royal Tier late-stage Familiar.
The higher the Familiar’s Level, the greater the energy difference between each minor realm.
Fangy struggled to absorb the Flame, but the Flame energy was overwhelming, and it couldn’t keep up. Red burns appeared all over its body.
However, the Flash Fire Trait did provide some protection, preventing Fangy from fainting like Treasure Seeker.
At that moment, a massive flame shot up from beneath the Magma Pillars covering Treasure Seeker!
Taunt Skills were terrifying, and even now, the Molted Dragon’s eyes were fixed on Treasure Seeker.
"Ya Ya!"
Fangy’s gaze was directly on Treasure Seeker’s position. Its pupils constricted, and without a second thought, intense Flame erupted from its entire body.
It exerted all its strength, turning into flame, and burst out of the Magma Pillars, lunging at the massive flame with unprecedented speed!
The Molted Dragon was caught off guard, unprepared, and was directly pounced into the Lava.
The two flames fell into the Lava simultaneously.
The Magma Pillars slowly subsided, transforming into a shower of sparks that scattered everywhere.
As the Magma Pillars dissipated and the Barrier disappeared, Qiao Sang saw the scene outside.
Her first sight was of Treasure Seeker, eyes closed and covered in injuries, falling into the Lava.
Qiao Sang’s heart raced with anxiety.
Before she could speak, Steel Treasure flapped its wings, transforming into a purple light, and caught Treasure Seeker just thirty centimeters above the Lava.
Lulu wasted no time; the gem on her forehead emitted a Cobalt Blue Light, illuminating Treasure Seeker’s body.
Qiao Sang felt a sense of relief but then thought of something, her gaze quickly scanning the area. Her heart sank:
Where was Fangy?!
…
In the Lava, Fangy clung tightly to the Molted Dragon’s body, refusing to let go no matter how much the Molted Dragon roared and struggled.
"Molten Armor!"
The Molted Dragon raised its Claw Slash, condensing White Light, and fiercely slashed at Fangy.
Fangy's body trembled violently, but he did not let go.
The Molted Dragon swung its massive tail, which condensed silver-white light, and struck Fangy with all its might.
The lava around them surged in the direction of the Molted Dragon's tail.
Under the immense force, Fangy could no longer hold on and began to sink deeper into the lava.
The Molted Dragon glanced at the spot on its body where Fangy had bitten down, showing a pained expression. It then raised its claws and pulled out the fangs that were deeply embedded.
"Molten Armor!"
The Molted Dragon looked at the fangs on its claws, then glanced down at Fangy, who was gradually disappearing into the lava. Suddenly, it seemed to realize something and its expression turned to panic. It dove headfirst toward the spot where Fangy had fallen.
Fangy continued to sink deeper into the lava, his vision becoming increasingly blurry.
The Treasure Seeker should be fine, Lulu can heal, and my Beastmaster will take care of it...
As these thoughts flashed through his mind, he saw his relentless opponent, who had been impossible to defeat, rushing down with a panicked expression.
Why does this guy look so worried? He managed to beat us so badly on his own...
So annoying...
Just as he was thinking this, he felt a heavy impact on his back.
A searing heat radiated from the side.
The extreme heat jolted Fangy, who was about to faint, back to consciousness.
He struggled to turn his head and saw the source of the heat.
It was a burning, black-red flame that seemed capable of scorching the soul.
"Molten Armor!"
The Molted Dragon's eyes widened, and it let out an angry, urgent roar.
Don't touch it!
Fangy's ears twitched, and he turned his injured face toward the Molted Dragon, pulling a taunting smile. With all his remaining strength, he turned his head, opened his mouth, and swallowed the black-red flame.
"Molten Armor!!!"
...
"How can this be? Fangy can't recall the Beastmaster Codex!" Qiao Sang's expression was one of panic.
She could sense that Fangy was beneath the lava, but she never expected that he couldn't recall the Beastmaster Codex.
There were many reasons why a familiar might not be able to recall the Beastmaster Codex.
It could be due to interference from a Sealed Space, the use of Bindshadow skills by a Ghost-type familiar, being too far away, an injury to the Beastmaster's brain domain, or the familiar being in a highly unstable energy state, which could cause an energy explosion and damage the Beastmaster's brain domain during the recall process.
First, she could rule out the latter, as she hadn't sensed any energy instability in Fangy when she detected his position.
It was also unlikely that a Ghost-type familiar had used Bindshadow skills to bind him.
The distance was not the issue either.
Her brain domain was not injured.
That left only a Sealed Space.
Could there be another space beneath the lava?
However, if Fangy were in a Sealed Space, she probably wouldn't have been able to sense his position at all.
Various thoughts raced through her mind.
Qiao Sang then had an idea and said to the Treasure Seeker, who had already recovered, "Let's try to sense it below!"
"Xunxun!"
The Treasure Seeker nodded.
"Molten Armor!!!"
However, before its eyes could glow blue, a furious and familiar roar echoed from the lava.
The lava shook violently with the roar.
It's the Molted Dragon's call... Qiao Sang's heart grew even more uneasy.
Migala frowned and said, "Find Flame Kiru."
"Ying Gou."
As soon as he spoke, an invisible wave spread through the lava, even penetrating every corner.
Three seconds later, Fangy, covered in injuries and missing a tooth, was lifted out of the lava by an invisible force.
