Playing? Youâre saying the Blazing Star Canine was playing just now?!
Deng Tianyue was momentarily convinced he had misheard.
Nearby, Yabao heard his Beastmaster's comment and resisted the urge to charge forward and bite someone.
At this moment, the doppelganger in the sky had already dissipated following the earlier collision.
Yabao gathered energy, and an identical clone appeared high above once again.
What's it planning? It can't be preparing Meteor Rain, right? If it were Meteor Rain, there'd be no need for a cloneâŠ
Deng Tianyue's heart sank as he quickly shook off irrelevant thoughts, analyzing the situation.
Realizing the next attack likely wouldnât be Meteor Rain, he let out a slight sigh of relief.
He had never backed down from high-level pet battles.
But Qiao Sang's Blazing Star Canine was different.
An ultimate-level Meteor Rain, nobody could withstand that!
As he mulled over this, the Blazing Star Canine on the ground stomped its uninjured right forepaw.
In the next moment, a surge of heat erupted, the ground shattered, and terrifyingly hot flames burst forth from below, hurtling toward the Black Devouring Demon still clawing at the ground.
âWide-Area Defense!â Deng Tianyue shouted in response.
âDevourâŠâ
The Black Devouring Demon raised its head, just about to channel energy and respond.
But just as it managed to utter the first syllable of his words, it found its mouth suddenly immobilized. The next syllable remained stubbornly unspoken.
The doppelganger's telekinesis may not be strong, but as long as it can restrain for a moment, that's enough...
Qiao Sang thought to herself.
Scorching flames erupted from the ground.
The fire spread from beneath.
Boom!!!
In the blink of an eye, fire exploded where the Black Devouring Demon stood.
âDevour!!!â
The roaring flames danced wildly, and the Black Devouring Demon let out a pained cry.
Seeing this, the audience erupted into a frenzy.
âHoly crap! The Blazing Star Canine's doppelganger can actually restrain the Black Devouring Demon with telekinesis!â
âThe main body attacks while the clone control, genius!â
âBy the way, just how proficient is this Canine's shadow clone technique? It can maintain telekinesis while using Hellfire?â
âCould it⊠also be at ultimate level?â
ââŠStop guessing randomly.â
So the clone was to restrain the Black Devouring Demon with telekinesisâŠ
Deng Tianyue took a deep breath, quickly pushing aside the thought.
âEat!â He shouted.
The Black Devouring Demon had a certain degree of defense. As a high-level pet, it could withstand Blazing Star Canine's Hellfire. Despite taking a full-force hit, it hadn't yet lost its combat ability.
âDevourâŠâ
Hearing its Beastmaster's command, the Black Devouring Demon strained to open its eyes. It grabbed a nearby glowing, charred stone and shoved it into its mouth.
Extraordinary creatures are so fascinating⊠Eating that can actually replenish its energy?
Qiao Sang, curious, refrained from issuing an interrupt command. She wanted to see what would happen next.
âYap!â
Yabao saw his opponent still moving and quickly gathered energy.
He remembered his Beastmaster's words:
No playing!
Lifting his head slightly, Yabao fired a red energy orb with terrifying force straight into the sky.
Meteor Rain! Itâs using Meteor Rain now?!
Watching the red orb ascend, Deng Tianyue was dumbfounded.
He had never anticipated the Blazing Star Canine to unleash Meteor Rain at such a critical moment!
Wasnât that its strongest skill?
It didnât use it earlier, but now, when the Black Devouring Demon was already battered, it decided to unleash it?!
This isnât human behavior!
Well, technically, the Canine wasnât human... but Qiao Sang? She wasnât acting human either! Making the Blazing Star Canine use Meteor Rain against an already heavily injured opponent, how ruthless!
Completely oblivious to the opponent's perception of her, Qiao Sang was baffled.
Yabao used Meteor Shower? Didnât he always complain battles were too short and unsatisfying? Why use it now?
"Yap!â
Sensing his Beastmaster's gaze, Yabao turned his head with a confident smile, baring his white teeth as if to say,
Relax, this oneâs in the bag!
Qiao Sang: âŠ
The red energy orb exploded high in the air.
Flames rained down like a wrathful storm.
The entire arena turned crimson as the temperature spiked, leaving the audience in the front rows struggling against the heat.
As the dense rain of fire closed in on the Black Devouring Demon, Deng Tianyue took a deep breath and shouted with all his might:
âFrenzied Strikes!â
Though the Black Devouring Demon had mastered the high-level defensive skill Wide-Area Defense, its proficiency was only at Advanced. Hellfire had already broken through this defense before; ultimate-level Meteor Rain would be even more devastating.
Since defense wouldnât work, the only option left was offense. Attack to counterattack, maybe there's still a glimmer of hope!
Frenzied Strikes was a chaotic, mid-tier Dark-type skill that dealt indiscriminate damage within its range. It was the Black Devouring Demonâs most proficient offensive ability.
Fueled by the energy from the stones it had consumed, the Black Devouring Demon surged with power.
Looking up at the fiery rain, its eyes seemed to shout,
Bring it on! Iâm ready!
âDevour!â
The Black Devouring Demon roared, raising its arm and clenching its fist. A dense, white energy enveloped its entire limb.
Just as it was about to swing, it froze.
Black Devouring Demon: ???
What the hell?! Qiao Sang isnât human! Making the Blazing Star Canine restrain the Black Devouring Demon with telekinesis at this moment?!
Deng Tianyue stared at the glowing blue eyes of the Canine in disbelief, his body trembling.
An ultimate-level Meteor Rain⊠and itâs not even letting the Black Devouring Demon move! This isnât human, this is demonic!
âYap!â
Yabao kept his eyes on the Black Devouring Demon, his tail wagging furiously.
He was so clever to preemptively restrain his opponent!
Qiao Sang: âŠ
Honestly, even without the telekinesis, it wouldnât have lasted anywayâŠ
Qiao Sang silently thought.
The fiery rain poured down, engulfing the Black Devouring Demon entirely.
Fire illuminated the arena as the ground crumbled beneath the onslaught, leaving no intact spot except where Yabao stood.
When the fire finally subsided, the Black Devouring Demon lay sprawled, eyes shut, looking even darker than before.
The arena fell into a brief silence.
Then, as the mechanical referee pet blew the whistle signaling the matchâs end, the audience erupted.
âIncredible! Ultimate-level Meteor Rain! Iâm speechless!â
âWow! So this is the power of an ultimate-level Meteor Rain!â
âIâve only heard of high-level ultimate skills before, but seeing it in action is terrifying!â
âUnbelievable! Qiao Sang is ruthless, using telekinesis to restrain the opponent even after unleashing Meteor Rain!â
âTo be honest, itâs thrilling to watch! I love these high-impact battles!â
âWhatâs the point of continuing? Just crown Qiao Sang as the champion already!â
For the first time since Qiao Sang's arrival in the Guwu Region, no one was discussing Ice Xiluâs matches.
