Chapter 1448 Nightmare Xiling
With a loud bang, countless pieces of gravel flew everywhere.
The camera zoomed in, revealing that Jingjianling had closed her eyes and was unconscious.
The pet wearing the referee's badge came to the Mirror Spirit's side to check it, and then waved the green flag in the direction of Qiao Sang and Gang Bao.
A giant virtual screen appeared out of thin air, and below Lefebvre's photo, the image of the Mirror Spirit changed from color to black and white.
On the commentary stage, Nefertis took a deep breath and announced in a passionate voice, "Steel Power Emperor has won! Jossan has taken another game! The score is now 1-4!"
A commotion suddenly erupted, and the scene exploded.
In the audience, everyone and their pets screamed and cheered wildly.
"Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!"
"Steel Power Supreme! Steel Power Supreme!"
"I really didn't expect that Steel Power Emperor could break through the Mirror World and defeat Mirror Spirit! I thought it was doomed to lose after being dragged into the Mirror World!"
"Holy crap, I've been thinking back on what just happened. Don't you guys think Steel Power Emperor is terrifying?! In the Mirror World, it clearly had the Mirror Armor ability, but it pretended to be severely weakened! When it was burned by Mirror Fire, it pretended to have no reaction at all!"
"When he was burned by the Mirror Fire, he didn't react at all. I think that Steel Power Emperor might have been awakened by the Mirror Fire in the end, and then pretended that he was not awake to launch a counterattack. Also, the Mirror Armor must have been unactivated before."
"No, did you guys see what Steel Power Emperor looked like when it activated its Mirror Armor? The Mirror Armor looked like a materialized suit of armor, clearly something only an S-rank would show. S-rank Mirror Armor can even be controlled by the pet to decide whether to show itself. You're telling me Steel Power Emperor didn't activate it even after being attacked so many times before?"
"Oh my god, I thought Steel Power Emperor's final attack was a burst of power, but it turns out the whole thing was just an act."
"I had heard that the Steel Power Emperor race was a pet beast with extremely high intelligence, but I never really felt it until now. With their intelligence and acting skills, it's no wonder they look down on beast tamers who aren't smart enough."
"Steel Emperor is really good at enduring. Even though it has the Mirror Armor ability and no weakened ability, it didn't use any defensive skills when it pretended to be weakened. It endured the damage for so long. It's really amazing."
"No, I don't quite understand. Since Steel Power Emperor won't be weakened in the Mirror World, why does it pretend to be suppressed and just directly confront the Mirror Spirit? Anyway, the Mirror Armor's properties can have a counter-effect that weakens the Mirror Spirit's abilities."
"Are you stupid? If the Mirror Spirit had known that Steel Emperor wouldn't weaken its abilities, it definitely wouldn't have let its spiritual body directly fight against Steel Emperor. Moreover, Steel Emperor is top-notch in every aspect except for its speed. If the Mirror Spirit hadn't been deceived by Steel Emperor and lowered its guard, how could Steel Emperor have possibly attacked it?"
"My goodness, after listening to your analysis, I realize that Gang Quan Huangji is a really good actor."
"It's already 1 to 4, and this is the first time I've seen Lefebvre lose so badly."
"The champion will definitely be Qiao Sang."
"I feel so too."
"No, I believe Lefebvre will definitely turn things around!"
"Lai fans, stop talking. It's already 1:4, what's there to be so unwilling to give up? Don't forget that Qiao Sang hasn't even used the two major characteristics of the Netherworld Lord's Mutual Destruction and Life Borrowing yet."
"."
"Qosang has given us another huge surprise." On the commentary stage, Aurore exclaimed, "This is a match that I didn't expect. I didn't realize that Steel Power Emperor was just faking it all along."
"Reli".
Gerrilova put down her water glass and exclaimed with admiration, saying that Gang Quan Huangji's acting skills were excellent and that he could become an actor.
Nephthys said admiringly, "Besides acting skills, Steel Power Emperor also needs extremely strong willpower. Otherwise, it would be impossible to maintain such good acting skills while being burned by the Mirror Fire in a conscious state."
Auror said, "Steel Emperor must have confirmed that he was in the Mirror World before he put on his acting and launched an attack on the Mirror Spirit when the Mirror World shattered. We were just speculating before, but now we can confirm that even if Steel Emperor is in the Mirror World, Josan can still communicate with it through the power of bonds."
“That’s right,” Nephthys agreed. “The bond between Jossan and Steel Power Emperor is indeed that strong.”
"Reli".
Geriloka took a graceful sip of water and exclaimed, indicating that the benefits of the bond power clearly outweighed the drawbacks.
Nephthys said:
"Lefeld is in a bad situation now. I wonder what tactics he will use in the upcoming matches."
Amidst the clamor, all the purple blades changed direction, flew into the air, and plunged back into Steel Treasure's body.
On the high platform, Leifeld waved his hand, recalling the unconscious Mirror Spirit back into the Beast Taming Manual.
Josang waved back.
However, Steel Treasure flapped its wings in mid-air and did not disappear.
Qiao Sang paused for a moment, then waved again.
Steelbao has not disappeared.
Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, wondering what was going on.
Gangbao turned his head and met the eyes of his beast tamer. In the instant their eyes met, the image of the final moment of the competition, when the Mirror Spirit was attacked and its body glowed blue, flashed through their minds.
Qiao Sang: "!!!"
Holy crap! So when Lefebvre said "seal off," he meant to maintain strict control!
"Strict Defense" is a high-level superpower skill. Although the name is "Strict Defense," it is not a defensive skill. If a pet with this skill is attacked while using it, the attacking pet will be unable to use location-based movement skills such as spatial teleportation or shadow penetration skills to move to other spaces for a period of time. It may even be unable to be retrieved by the Beastmaster from the Beastmaster's Beastmaster's Book.
Why did they have to resort to such a tight defense at the last moment? Qiao Sang couldn't help but show a look of frustration.
Originally, according to her original plan, Little Treasure Hunt was definitely going to fight against Lefebvre's last royal-level pet. If Little Treasure Hunt won, it would naturally gain a lot of white energy. If it was activated with the same return characteristic and the battle ended in a draw, she would also win big in terms of score. At that time, Little Treasure Hunt would definitely also gain a continuous stream of white energy.
What a perfect plan! But who would have thought that just when we were about to face the last royal-level pet, the opponent came up with a tight defense.
This is a royal-level pet that will be used in the final battle of the Master Challenge!
Even if Steel Treasure loses the match and Little Treasure wins later, some viewers might think that Steel Treasure exhausted his opponent too much beforehand. In that case, Little Treasure would definitely not have collected as much white energy as if he had entered the match from the beginning.
As Gangbao listened to the thoughts constantly emerging in his beast tamer's mind, he remained silent for a moment, then called out in his mind:
"Steel Power".
Or it could try to lose the game early on.
Qiao Sang was taken aback: "Why?"
"Steel Power".
Gangbao responded in his mind, indicating that if he lost the match from the start, when Xiaoxunbao won, no one would think it was because he had consumed too much of the opponent's energy. "Don't lose." Qiao Sang looked into Gangbao's eyes and said in his mind, "Don't lose on purpose. Xiaoxunbao will have many more opportunities to collect white energy in the future. Don't you want to promote your race? This is a great opportunity. If you win this match, your race will surely be promoted and brought to prominence."
Although she initially intended for Xiao Xunbao to have a final battle against a royal-level pet, things took an unexpected turn. This was a match broadcast live across the entire intergalactic space, and she couldn't allow Gangbao to intentionally lose the match.
During this time, Gangbao trained almost every spare moment for this competition, and she always remembered Gangbao's dream of promoting her race.
Steelbao was stunned for a moment. The bond between them made it feel that its Beastmaster was speaking from the heart, and a strong sense of emotion welled up in its heart. It turned its head, looked at Leifeld in the distance, revealed a determined look, and called out:
"Steel Power".
It knows.
It didn't think of the sentence in its mind; it just shouted it out.
"Chosang did not add Steel Power Emperor to the Beast Taming Codex!" Aurore shouted from the commentary booth.
Nephthys analyzed, "Contestant Jossan waved her hand twice in total. It seems that she didn't want to take the Steel Power Imperial Pole back into the Beast Taming Codex, but she couldn't. It seems that in the previous match, the Mirror Spirit used a defensive strategy at the end."
"Reli".
"Reli".
Reliroka gave two elegant calls, indicating that the Netherworld Lord had rested for a while and its energy had recovered. Not only was Ice Saint Asia uninjured, but it also consumed less energy. Compared to them, Steel Power Emperor was injured and had also consumed a lot of energy, making it the easiest to deal with.
On the field, murmurs rose and fell.
Qiao Sang's fans didn't care, and even mocked that even if Steel Power Emperor lost this match, Qiao Sang would still win in the end. After all, in addition to Steel Power Emperor being able to fight, Qiao Sang also had the ace Dark Ring Monarch and Ice Saint Asia, while Lefeb's only royal-level pet was Nightmare Spirit.
Some of Lefebvre's fans were already filled with disappointment and had no hope for what was to come, while others were somewhat relieved, happy that their idol was able to respond immediately even in such a desperate situation, making the upcoming battle slightly more favorable to him.
The venue has been changed.
The pet wearing the referee's badge came onto the field and blew the whistle to signal preparation.
The light and shadow of the number "10" appeared in the air, constantly changing accompanied by mechanical sounds.
"9, 8, 73, 2, 1."
The light and shadow disappeared.
Lefebvre quickly formed hand seals.
A mysterious and profound purple star array lit up the field.
Before long, a beast about three meters tall, mostly black, with a strip-like object around its neck that looked like a necklace inlaid with white gemstones, a pair of bow-like horns on its head, a pair of semi-transparent black gauze wings behind its back, and red compound eyes that exuded an evil aura, appeared in the star array.
Nightshade, a royal-level pet beast with both Dark and Ghost types, loves to scare others. The more frightened the target, the happier it is. It is said to dislike people who can laugh in their sleep; if it happens to encounter such a person, it will drift into their dream and turn their pleasant dream into a nightmare. If it hears humans cursing someone on the street, it might help fulfill the curse if it's in a good mood. It possesses an extremely rare battle form, which allows it to unleash its power and greatly increase its strength. Qiao Sang gazed at the pet beast in the distance, recalling relevant information in his mind.
In the blink of an eye, Steel Treasure flapped its wings forcefully, and countless feathers transformed into purple blades that attacked in unison towards the direction of Nightshade Spirit.
Nightshade Spirit vanished into thin air.
Countless purple blades missed their target, changed direction, and pierced back into Steel Treasure's body.
Steelbao cautiously observed the surrounding movements.
Suddenly, it sensed something, flapped its wings, and flew straight into the sky.
Just as it moved, a rotating black beam of light suddenly appeared from the upper right and struck the spot where it had been.
Steel Treasure glanced at the source of the black light, and with a flap of its wings, two giant white blades materialized and slashed downwards.
Seeing this, Lefebvre gave the order: "Catch!"
The next second, the Nightshade appeared, not at the spot where the white blade had struck, but about two meters above it.
However, something unexpected happened.
The Nightshade Spirit swiftly floated down and took the initiative to intercept the attacks of the two white blades!
"boom!"
Amidst a series of explosions, E'xi Ling was sent flying backward, but quickly regained her footing.
There was an uproar.
"Nightshawling actually took the hit of the air blades on its own initiative!" Nephthys exclaimed in astonishment from the commentary booth.
Oh no! The opponent sees Air Blade as a mid-level skill, believing that even at the ultimate level, it won't cause significant damage to Nightmare Spirit. Therefore, they're actively accepting the attack to trigger Nightmare Spirit's special ability. Remember, attacking Nightmare Spirit will trigger its special ability...
Before Qiao Sang could continue thinking, Gang Bao's voice rang in her mind:
"Steel Power".
It can't move.
It seems the cursed body has been activated. Josang inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.
The Nightshade Spirit has many skills that will be activated when attacked. The Cursed Body is already a relatively good result, after all, Steel Treasure has strong defense. Even if the Nightshade Spirit takes the opportunity to use a super-class skill to attack, Steel Treasure can withstand it with absolute defense.
Just then, Lefebvre spoke up:
"Change."
“Nightmare”.
With a cry, E'xi Ling swiftly floated into Steel Treasure's blind spot, its body enveloped in a dense black light.
The range of the black light is getting larger and larger.
A terrifying current of air swept around the black light.
Shortly after, the black light vanished, revealing a beast approximately twenty meters tall, mostly black, with a stripe-like object around its neck resembling a necklace inlaid with purple gemstones. It possessed a pair of bow-like horns with purple markings on its head and face, as well as enormous black wings and red compound eyes exuding an aura of dominance. (End of Chapter)
