Spirit Taming

Chapter 337: Wise Retreat

While the Solar academy had become very angry, the student that came up to face the demonic box jellyfish seemed to have confidence and calm. It was strange to see that the other fiery attitudes of his fellow students hadn't rubbed off on him. Clark wondered what could cause this until he called his own beast out from his taking space.

'Holy flame maiden- rare

The holy flame maiden is a natural supporting type beast. It is unable to be touched due to the spiritual nature of its body. However, it also has a very powerful fire and light fusion typing called holy.

The holy typing is ideal for resisting undead and other similarly typed beasts. It is also great for purifying poison and cleaning decay due to the fire typing that helps create it. This typing is very rare in any beast and will often require extremely rare materials to help the beast grow. Most of the time, the beasts will not even know they have the potential to grow.

This holy flame maiden specializes in helping their tamer imbue their attacks with holy flames. It can also help heal wounds that the tamer incurs by sharing its holy flame energy with them. The only major downside is that the same energy that it is strong against it is also weak making it a tough battle of strength in specific energies.'

Clark could see more information than what he was ready for, but his eyes had been forced to focus on the battle. The demonic box jellyfish had started to tremble in the air. The shadows that seemed to be associated with its tentacles moving were pulling away from where the holy flame maiden had appeared.

"I really thought that you would be stronger after seeing how the last battle went. But you are all just weak and criminal." The boy that called out the holy flame maiden took up a bow and arrow. The arrowhead burst in to white flames before the arrow was released. To everyone's amazement, the tamer of the demonic box jellyfish jumped in front of the arrow.

The jellyfish wrapped around the tamer revealing the partially decaying skin all over his body. It was more like everyone was looking at a zombie than a human. But it was another tamer that was suffering from terrible after effects.

The holy flames burned for a moment before being extinguished due to the energy within the tamer's body. The decaying darkness energy being forced in to his body had enough strength to resist the holy flames. However, the disgusting appearance and state of health that he was in made many question if this was torture or a battle style.

"Think your little flames can hurt me!? I don't even feel pain!" The demented laughter that followed made everyone grimace. It was terrible, enough to take them all want to be sick. Yet, the tamer charged at the Solar academy tamer trying to get ahold of him. That was when the second, third, and fourth arrows were released.

The skill of the Solar academy student was very high. It was clear that he had trained with the boy over and over. The calm came because of this. He was calm because he had put himself under pressure while training this skill over and over so that he could fight even at close range with a bow and arrow.

The three arrows hit his opponent in an instant. Every single one burst in to even greater flames while the holy flame maiden danced around her tamer. The robes that were imbued with white flames seemed to dance around as well. The entire arena watched as the boy and the demonic box jellyfish were burned to ashes and the Solar academy student was given the win.

They all knew that the opponent from Ethereal academy would have never called off the battle and given up until he can decay and killed his opponent.

There was a clear line being set, if anyone fights against Ethereal academy, then they would be fighting with their lives on the line. This single unspoken understanding made the entire arena want to avoid the new academy that had just appeared here in Nebula to go against other academies with clear hatred and madness as their core.

Unfortunately, the winning didn't continue for Solar academy, the next beast made everyone shudder at the sight of it alone. The beast had revealed itself as a thin and weaker looking boy had taken off his black cloak, however, the hands wrapped around his body were what caught everyone off guard.

'Ten handed obsessor- ultra rare

After the hands of deceased women have been gathered, they are cursed with their previous owners desires to be loved. This is normally a beast created by those who desire to kill someone but have also been created by those that feel betrayed. The creation of this beast used to be banned in certain areas due to the murder that often occurs because of it or to create it.

Although, the method was lost and the laws revolving around it were forgotten many years ago.

The beast is made up of the bodies and the hands of over ten females. They are rotting and undead, making it an undead beast. However, they also possess a slight darkness affinity that acts as a decaying effect in those that they injure.

The bodies are fused together with many arms protruding from it. The hands will often wrap around what they are obsessed with since they can detach from the main body. These beasts are incredible violent if their obsession is going to be harmed. They will also follow the bidding of their obsession if they are accepted fully.

Many believe that these beasts are the initial growth of the hundred handed horror. The only way for this to happen though is if the beast is able to kill and consume a hundred people while also being allowed to consume blood from their tamer every single night. This also united the tamer with the skill to fuse with the hundred handed horror to use it as a shield.'

"That thing shouldn't be." Ralph hit the nail on the head while looking at this thing. Even those watching were too appalled to speak. But even worse, the ten handed obsessor was moving as if its limbs had been broken and forced back. Every single little twitch made people feel shivers down their spine.

Even more shocking was when the thin tamer walked toad it and caressed one of the rotting faces. This made the beast twitch constantly before turning to focus on the Solar academy student. In an instant, the Solar academy student raised a hand and surrendered. Not because he didn't believe that the holy flame maiden could not harm this beast, but because it was many times stronger.

There was a sense in the entire arena for it. The strength of the ten handed obsessor was much more powerful than any other beast that had taken the stage the entire day. It had a bloodthirsty aura around it that made the entire place feel like there wasn't enough space to escape it.

"Wait, did they just firefight the entire match!? The arena burst in to an uproar seeing that Solar academy had backed down. One of the professors in charge of their first years had just pulled them back. Even the second, third and fourth years had all been pulled back from their matches. It seemed that similar beasts had been called out. All with terrifying presence.

Power that was brutal and made to kill.

The loss of students was to be expected, but losing every single student just for some rewards that didn't suit the students fire type beasts overall? It was not worth it. No one could have seen this coming. Not to mention that the students lost were geniuses of their academy. It would be a massive loss.

The odds that ethereal academy would have lost anyways due to their attempted murders would have been fine, if no one would have been hurt. But that was a risk no one was going to take. Not a single person wanted to see every ethereal academy student hauled off to prison or killed today. But Solar academy did not want to see their student charmed either. This was it for them.

"They made the right choice. That group of killers have come here to cause chaos. But Solar academy just let them go. If they had more powerful students then they could have erased them from this tournament." Clark felt he was being brutal, but the others didn't flinch when he spoke.

The simple reasoning was that they could feel it too. The fact that Ethereal academy students had killed before. That they had murdered many people to gain strength. That they had these brutal and evil beasts because they had also done brutal and evil things. It raised the question even more than before, why did Nebula academy allow them anywhere near this tournament? Why were they here?

What was their goal?
