Chapter 967: Lulu vs Iron War Dragon (Suggested to Watch with Tian Yiyi Tomorrow)
The Dragon Pulse came with such suddenness.
Qiao Sang's pupils constricted. When she shouted "Fusion", the white beam that seemed capable of destroying everything was already just about three meters away from Lulu.
Three meters, for a King-level familiar's skill speed, was a distance that didn't even take 0.1 seconds to cover.
It's too late... the thought flashed through Qiao Sang's mind.
However, at that moment, she suddenly noticed that Lulu's lower body had transformed into water, with two-thirds of her body disappearing, and the white beam passing over her head.
The attack failed.
At the same time, Lulu's entire body completely fused with water, vanishing without a trace.
Immediately, the sky darkened, clouds gathered, and a light rain began to fall from the heavens, descending onto the Arena.
The raindrops struck the Iron War Dragon, causing it to display an expression of impatience.
Fortunately, Lulu had sensed something amiss before Qiao Sang issued her command. Otherwise, once that command was given, it would have been too late... Qiao Sang let out a sigh of relief.
"Quake." Zeng Feitian issued his command.
Based on her past battle experience, Qiao Sang's first thought was:
A skill to shake the ground and force Lulu to come out?
She didn't issue the command.
In the rain, Lulu could keep jumping and dodging in the water. Even if the entire Battle Arena shook, Lulu wouldn't be forced to reveal herself.
"Iron War!"
The expected earthquake-type skill from the Iron War Dragon didn't happen. Instead, the Iron War Dragon opened its mouth, emitting a piercing noise that seemed to pierce through the eardrums and strike the brain's nerves.
This sound wave transformed into a tangible force, shattering the entire Arena.
Not only that, but the snowflakes and raindrops falling from the sky also trembled violently.
"Ice Emperor!"
One of the raindrops twisted, and Lulu appeared from it, her face contorted in pain, landing on the ground.
It wasn't a ground-type skill, but a noise-type skill that affected the mind... Qiao Sang's heart sank as she looked at the opponent in the distance.
It seemed that not only had she studied the opponent, but the opponent had also studied her thoroughly.
Lulu's face was twisted in pain. As soon as she landed, the gem on her forehead glowed with a cobalt blue light.
Zeng Feitian, who had memorized the Ice Emperor Ram's data thoroughly, knew exactly what this light represented. He immediately said:
"Dragon Pulse."
The Healing Light of the Ice Emperor Ram was indeed a headache, but as long as it didn't have the time to use it, the skill would be rendered useless.
The Iron War Dragon opened its mouth, and a terrifying white wave began to condense within it.
Just as the Iron War Dragon opened its mouth, Qiao Sang spoke:
"Domain."
The cobalt blue light from the gem on Lulu's forehead disappeared. She took a step forward with her left front claw, and a visible chill aura spread from her body.
In an instant, the landscape turned icy.
The ground, snowflakes, and raindrops all froze over with a layer of ice shell.
Including the Iron War Dragon, which remained in the position of opening its mouth, frozen in place like an ice sculpture.
"Frost Stream." Qiao Sang added.
As a Steel and Dragon dual-type King-level familiar, the Iron War Dragon's defensive strength was incredibly formidable. Even if it were to be hit by a series of massive ice spires while frozen, it might not be directly defeated.
However, no matter how strong a familiar's external defenses were, its internal defenses were just as vulnerable.
Instead of attacking the Iron War Dragon's exterior, it would be better to aim directly at its interior.
Lulu opened her mouth, and a thick, swirling stream of water instantly shot out.
Before the match, the Beastmaster had repeatedly discussed the Iron War Dragon's situation with her, so she knew exactly where to aim.
A chill aura surged through the air, enveloping the water and forming a thick ice shell on its surface.
The spinning strength remained unchanged, turning the water into an ice pillar that shot toward the open mouth of the Iron War Dragon.
Zeng Feitian's expression remained calm as he shouted:
"Break!"
As soon as he spoke, the ice pillar had already reached a position just ten centimeters away from the Iron War Dragon's mouth.
Suddenly, the ice shell at that point melted away.
The ice pillar struck directly into its mouth!
At the same moment, the Iron War Dragon's Dragon Pulse, which had just been amplified, erupted.
With a loud "Bang!" the forces collided, and an incredibly powerful energy burst inside the Iron War Dragon's mouth.
The ice shell shattered, and the terrifying impact forced the thirteen-meter-long Iron War Dragon, known as the "Iron Tower", to cry out in pain and fall backward.
Zeng Feitian's expression changed slightly.
The moment the Iron War Dragon fell, the entire arena erupted in shock.
They were all too familiar with the stability of the Iron War Dragon, the Dragon Companion of the Hollow Plains.
Initially, they had expected the Iron War Dragon to gain the upper hand, given the speed and ferocity of its attacks. However, the situation had unexpectedly reversed.
What was even more surprising was that the Iron War Dragon had been unable to withstand the attack and fell first.
"No matter how many times I see it, the Frost Haven skill is just amazing..."
"I didn't know Frost Haven could selectively melt ice..."
"Since it's a domain, everything within the Ice Emperor Ram's domain is under his control."
"Qiao Sang must have calculated the exact moment to have Ice Emperor Ram use Frost Haven when the Iron War Dragon opened its mouth. I think the Frost Stream that followed was aimed directly at its mouth."
"You don't need to say that. I knew the ice in that area of the Iron War Dragon's mouth suddenly disappeared."
"If it were just Ice Emperor Ram's Frost Stream, it wouldn't have been that powerful, but the Dragon Pulse in the Iron War Dragon's mouth hadn't dissipated yet."
"The timing and accuracy of the skill release were truly impressive."
"The Iron War Dragon has fallen!" Tian Yiyi exclaimed from the commentator's booth. "First, the Frost Haven, then the Water Spray combined with the ice, aiming for the Iron War Dragon's mouth. The ice shell at that point melted, allowing a successful hit and a collision with the Dragon Pulse, resulting in an explosion inside the Iron War Dragon's mouth. What a smooth and flawless attack."
Tang Xueran observed the situation on the field and reflected:
"The Iron War Dragon is getting back up. Truly deserving of its 'Iron Tower' title, any other familiar would have been severely injured for a while."
Tian Yiyi added, "Ice Emperor Ram has also taken the opportunity to use the Frostflower Seal. It will be interesting to see how the Iron War Dragon responds."
The ice shell had melted, and the snow had stopped, but the rain continued to fall.
However, after Lulu let out a cry, the temperature dropped sharply, and large flakes of snow began to fall again.
The Iron War Dragon struggled to its feet, panting heavily, its eyes filled with ferocity and anger as it looked at its opponent.
Qiao Sang observed the Iron War Dragon.
Its metallic surface only showed the marks of wet sand and gravel from when it fell, with no signs of rust.
According to the data, rain should cause the Iron War Dragon's metallic surface to rust. It seems that it doesn't rust immediately but only after prolonged exposure to water... Qiao Sang felt a slight disappointment.
The time it would take for an entire match wasn’t nearly enough to make the Iron War Dragon rust.
However, it could certainly slow down its movements.
With such a massive familiar standing there, moving so slowly, if its defenses were breached and its vital points attacked, the match could be won. With this thought, Qiao Sang couldn't help but focus his gaze on the Iron War Dragon’s mouth once again.
The Iron War Dragon suddenly felt a chill and then noticed something strange happening to its body.
It looked down and saw that Ice Blossoms were sprouting all over it.
At that moment, its Beastmaster's voice rang out:
"Seal all around!"
The Iron War Dragon, with a sore throat, couldn't vocalize but managed to move.
Using its right hind leg, which hadn't yet grown Ice Blossoms, it stomped the ground.
The ground trembled, and as it shook, the surrounding area suddenly split open. Towering rocks, each about twenty meters high, emerged, blocking the Iron War Dragon from above and all around, leaving only its front unobstructed.
Snowflakes fell onto the rocks.
Beneath the cover, the Iron War Dragon's body shuddered, and an invisible strength radiated outward, shattering the Ice Blossoms into pieces that scattered and fell.
Seeing this, many people began to murmur.
"Rock Lock, a Ground-type Advanced Skill, is usually used to restrict an opponent's movements. I didn't expect it to be used for defense, blocking the Frostflower Seal from landing."
"Iron War Dragon has a Ground-type Skill? That's surprising."
"Using it for defense seems pretty effective."
Before the murmurs could continue, the crowd fell silent, their attention returning to the match.
A new development had occurred.
A massive Ice Spire, like a small mountain, suddenly appeared above the Iron War Dragon.
"Shake!" Zeng Feitian commanded.
"Iron War!"
The Iron War Dragon, enduring the tearing pain, let out a harsh, grating cry.
Qiao Sang thought the opponent was trying to shatter the Gigantic Ice Spire with this move. However, the sound wave transformed into a destructive force that spread through the ground, concentrating its attack on Lulu!
"Ice Emperor!"
Lulu's head throbbed with intense pain, and she let out a scream.
With a massive thud, the Gigantic Ice Spire struck the rocks.
Large chunks of ice and rock fell onto the Iron War Dragon.
The Iron War Dragon stood firm, letting the debris fall, but its expression was one of pain due to the severe throat ache from the sound wave attack.
But it remembered the strategy its Beastmaster had planned before the match and, despite the intense pain, it didn't waste a moment. A bright white light shone from its body, condensing in front of it to form a thick, five-meter-wide white beam that shot straight through the arena!
Domain Freeze couldn't stop the beam, and Water Fusion was too late... Qiao Sang's heart raced, his mind working quickly, and he shouted:
"Ice Armor!"
The beam struck Lulu with full force.
"Bang!!!"
With a destructive explosion, Lulu was sent flying.
At that moment, the audience stands were filled with tension.
The live stream chat was a cacophony of cries.
"Ice Emperor Ram has been hit!" In the commentator booth, Tian Yiyi quickly explained the situation:
"Iron War Dragon first used a sound wave attack to damage Ice Emperor Ram's spirit, then successfully hit Ice Emperor Ram with a Cannon Beam!"
Tang Xueran added:
"Cannon Beam is one of the most powerful Steel-type offensive Skills. Ice Emperor Ram's defensive strength is clearly not as formidable as Iron War Dragon's. It remains to be seen if it can withstand this attack."
The camera focused.
Everyone's eyes were on Lulu.
Lulu lay on the ground, her ice shell shattered and seemingly ready to fall apart at the slightest touch.
Just as everyone thought the match might be coming to an end, a cobalt blue light illuminated Lulu's body.
The Ice Armor had actually allowed Ice Emperor Ram to withstand the Cannon Beam... Zeng Feitian's expression changed, and he quickly shouted:
"Wave!"
A single strike before the Healing Light could take effect, and Ice Emperor Ram would surely fall!
The Iron War Dragon opened its mouth.
But the pain in its mouth prevented it from concentrating energy in its throat.
This was a mistake in judgment.
"Ice Emperor."
The cobalt blue light around Lulu dissipated, and the ice shell scattered on the ground. She stood up, looking completely unharmed.
A chill aura enveloped her, and a thick layer of Ice Armor reformed around her body.
The crowd fell silent for a moment, then erupted into a cacophony of noise and excited chatter:
"What's going on?! What kind of healing skill is this? She's completely healed?"
"I know, I know! When Ice Emperor Ram first appeared, I looked it up. Do you know why it's the most popular among all the endangered familiars in the Ancient Fog Region, besides being rare? It's because this species can use Healing Light from birth!"
"Healing Light? What kind of healing skill is that?"
"As long as there's a single breath left, it can instantly revive and restore full health status. It's a divine skill!"
"Damn!!! That's incredible!!!"
At the same time.
On the Authorities Live Stream, the chat was flooded:
[Ice Emperor Ram! Ice Emperor Ram!]
[Go! Charge! You're the best!]
[Show the Hollow Plains the shock of Revival Armor!]
At the match site.
In the commentator booth, Tian Yiyi and Tang Xueran stared wide-eyed in amazement.
Even though they knew Ice Emperor Ram had such a powerful healing skill, seeing it firsthand, with the familiar who was just moments ago covered in injuries and seemingly unable to stand, now fully revived, was still a profound shock.
Tang Xueran, remembering her duty, spoke up:
"Healing Light, an Advanced Healing Skill, is indeed extraordinary. Ice Emperor Ram has been fully revived, and it looks like Contestant Zeng Feitian has a headache on his hands."
"Tian Yiyi added, "The Ice Armor that Ice Emperor Ram used earlier was also timely."
"If the Ice Armor hadn't appeared in time to defend, Ice Emperor Ram might not have had the strength to use Healing Light."
The rain continued to fall.
"Water Fusion", Qiao Sang said, looking at his opponent.
Without a word, Lulu vanished from her spot, merging with the water.
"Shake!" Zeng Feitian, having regained his composure, quickly issued a command.
Sure enough, to locate Lulu in the Water Fusion, the opponent would have to use a sound-based attack skill.
And to use a sound-based attack skill, they would need to open their mouth... Qiao Sang, watching the Iron War Dragon open its mouth, called out:
"Freeze!"
"Ice Emperor!"
A drop of rain in mid-air twisted, transforming into Lulu's head. She cried out, and a visible chill aura emanated from her.
In an instant, the temperature plummeted, and everything on the field froze solid, as if the world had turned to ice.
Only Lulu, emerging from the only drop of water that hadn't frozen, landed gracefully on the ground.
