Spirit Taming

Chapter 358: Needed Revenge

"How could that do that?!" The angry growl that came out of Isa's mouth as Maria was trying to heal her made all of their hearts stop. She was livid, but there was more to it. Isa was hurt. Not just physically. She couldn't comprehend how someone she had just been fighting with even though she barely knew them could be gone in a seconds.

No one would be able to explain how the madness that possessed the Ethereal academy student had been able to let him cause his own along with his beast's explosive destruction. Instead of losing, that student had robbed everyone of a bright and talented future entertainer that strived to stand over others in the beast taming world. It was a tragedy.

"There aren't answers. Isa, no one can explain what makes these people sick. But we will finish them before they can hurt anyone else." Maria made a solemn promise as Isa ignored the burns and leaned in to her crying. Many were the same way. The audience that had cheered for their idol were seemingly broken.

The remaining students of Ethereal academy were drastically different. The last three seemed to be cheering instead. Their antics had made a few of the audience attempt to throw things at them only to catch them blocked by the barriers the referees had set up. Not that the referees had thought of letting the barriers down and the guards become trapped.

Those intrusive thoughts had appeared, but a little so that they could get some justice for once.

By this point, no matter how the next three groups of academy battles went, along with the other year tournaments, no one wanted to see ethereal academy any longer. They could only hope that they were done and gone sooner. That they were punished sooner. That justice was brought.

"I should do it. I should fight again." Isa tried to force herself back up before anyone else could move. But that was just it. Maria was already using a hand to push her back down.

"You will stay here. Clark and I will be handling the rest of the battles whether anyone likes it or not. Clark, you have no say either." Seeing that Maria was making her move, Clark just nodded. There were three matches left and the two of them had held on to a lot of their energy. There was nothing left to say about any of this. Instead, it was just the two of them.

The other could fight. Grace had yet to battle, but with the last situation, Maria was only comfortable letting her and Clark fight. They had the strongest attacking styles out of everyone that was not injured. That meant that Maria and Clark could kill the ethereal academy students without giving them a chance to fight back and explode or another crazy attack again.

"Do not move another muscle. We respect Nova academy, but the last three battles will be handled by Nebula. We have a score to settle. We no longer care for the regards. We will gain whatever is offered by our academy head when we manage to erase the stains that have appeared in our academy. Please just support or watch." The larger boy that spoke was the next Nebula academy student.

The large body and deep voice that he had was betraying his age. It looked like he should be much older than a first year student. However, the roundness in his face proved he still had a lot of growing to do in life. That Wasn't the half of things though. There was an equally large figure next to him.

'Yeti- rare

Also known as the abominable snow man, the yeti is a beast that enjoys a powerful ice type that focuses on defense and resistance. They are rare beasts that prefer to live solitary lifestyles. They appear to be the size of a large man but they have muscles that use the power of ice to split glaciers.

They will often go dormant in the deepest ice caves they can find for years on end just to gather more energy to grow.

They are known to fly in to rage if they are insulted or forced in to battles they do not wish to be in. Otherwise,they are very peaceful beasts that would just rather live in their cold climate. When they do gather, it is often because there is a great threat to the places they live since they are deeply connected with their environment.

Some have managed to bind and tame them, those born with them as their spirit beast will often be able to temporarily live off just ice type energy alone. They will also be able to strengthen their bodies to match their yeti partner so that they can defend one another in body and mind. However, they will be hard to wake up due to the yeti sharing the ability to slumber for long periods of time.'

The beast was surely one that could cause a lot of damage. A very tough opponent for Maria because of the resistances and strengths that it had. However, Maria didn't feel afraid. Instead she felt that the yeti was silently seething with rage directed at the Ethereal academy students. This was because its tamer was feeling this as well.

But even more because it was forced to battle to the death now which was radially against how it lived.

"You will not be stopping me from helping. Those over there will even kill themselves to kill you. I refuse to let another die by their hands and watch them celebrate. Can't you see what they've done to my sister over there? That's my family." Maria wasn't just saying this for show. Isa was her family.

Maria might be the newest family line brought about by her own desires and two families working together. But since she was connected to Isa through that and as friends, Isa was easily family without the Rolly name backing Maria at all.

"I understand. Then believe that we will guard you while you attack. Please poison that scum ahead of us so that we may bury it in an avalanche." bones creaked as the yeti and its tamer stepped forward flexing. They were ready for the battle to go however it needed to reach a result. Meanwhile, Lit had already become the royal cloak form that Maria had shown before.

The perfect form for healing and poisoning while fighting.

"OOOOO. So angry. Sooooo angry. I like it. We will have fun with you." The slightly feminine voice that came out made all of them stop. It was mocking but it was also surreal.

As if it wasn't a real voice at all.

"Ohhhhhh, why are you so scared? Doooooo, you not like my voice? Weeeee stole it from a cute little girl you know. Sooooo sweet the way she talked. Weeee love copying it." The patchwork face that shaped itself was utterly horrifying. So much so that a few people had trouble holding their breakfasts in their stomachs.

'Patwork collector- rare

The patchwork collector is an undead beast that is known for stealing body parts. When tamed, it is able to use those stolen body parts from dead bodies and attach them to the tamer as additional limbs. These beasts were once popular with war veterans since they were able to get limbs to return them to battle. However, they are now considered disgusting since the rotting parts often breed illness.

After a serial killer used their patchwork collector beast to take trophies from their victims, many cities created laws that forced these beasts to be exterminated making them rare. Now that years have passed, many of these beasts are not seen, however, when they are, the tamer is often exiled.

Depending on the tamer, the patchwork collector can grow to be multiple different beasts in its adult form. Yet, that does not mean the strange body it has currently will ever be accepted by many others unless it is given the best materials to make its body from dead flesh appear alive for a short while.'

The disgust came from the fact that the red throbbing threads attached to the tamer and the girl they held hands with were all clearly body parts solemn. They were not even parts that should fit together. Instead, they were parts that were disjointed or broken. It was basically the start of a person becoming a monstrosity before their eyes. The beast was even worse though.

It looked like over twenty children's body parts put together with red throbbing threads.

"Maria! The main body of that thing is its heart!" Clark called out as the referee started the match, he only hoped that the two could kill that thing faster than anything else. Mostly because he could tell that the beast had helped kill many children. But also because he feared that Maria would lose and a part of her body would appear somewhere attached to the monsters in the arena.
