So that black mist was actually Nightmare Aura... Looks like I haven’t studied enough, I didn’t even recognize it…

In the depths of terror, Qiao Sang subconsciously scolded herself.

She dug her fingernail hard into her fingertip, hoping the pain would wake her up.

But even as she realized this suffocating fear wasn’t right, her body wouldn’t obey, willpower alone couldn’t break it.

The ice shell encasing the Grave Spectre was about to shatter completely. Fear clawed at her chest. Forcing herself to breathe evenly, Qiao Sang trembled as she gave a command: “Healing Soundwave…”

Lubao, standing below, shuddered violently. She didn’t immediately cast the skill as she usually did.

This won’t do. I have to shout louder.

Qiao Sang pressed harder on her wounded fingertip, letting the sharp sting clear her thoughts. Blood welled and ran down her hand. The pain pushed her voice higher as she screamed: “Lubao!”

Her call pierced through the suffocating fear like a bell.

“Lu Di!”

In that instant, the terror in Lubao’s eyes vanished. The small beast refocused her energy.

A biting chill swept across the air.

The Ice Field Domain reactivated. The Grave Spectre, which had just raised its claws, froze once again in a thick shell of ice.

But the black mist began to spread again, Nightmare Aura crept back into Lubao’s mind. Her body shook, her power faltered.

So just now, Lubao must’ve failed to hear my command because of fear… but at least she managed one Ice Field Domain.

Qiao Sang’s thoughts raced. Healing Soundwave took time to cast, if interrupted midway, it would fail,so she repeated her method, gripping her wound tighter for clarity.

But before she could speak, the Grave Spectre, trapped in thinning ice, raised its head. Its mouth opened, and a dark glow gathered deep within its throat.

When its jaws spread wide, a beam of black energy suddenly burst forth, piercing the ice, shooting straight at Lubao!

“Little Treasure!”

Qiao Sang’s pupils constricted.

She only had one hope, Little Treasure’s spatial shift ability!

The small beast’s eyes flared blue for a split second.

Too late-!

The dark beam neared Lubao, and Qiao Sang’s hand moved on instinct.

Lubao vanished.

The black beam hit nothing.

The Grave Spectre’s eerie eyes swiveled toward Qiao Sang.

It’s over...

Her whole body trembled violently. Her teeth clattered, her breath hitched. Terror detonated in her chest.

The Spectre raised its claw, forming a massive orb of dark energy and hurled it at her.

It’s over, it’s over, it’s over-!

A huge shadow suddenly leapt in front of her.

“Gang Zhan!”

Gangbao had somehow broken through her fear. Her body turned metallic gray, faintly glowing. She crossed her wings before Qiao Sang protectively.

Boom!

The power gap between a King-level and a General-level beast was immense. The impact sent Gangbao flying, crashing hard into the earth.

“Gangbao!”

Qiao Sang’s voice cracked in shock.

That moment broke something inside her. Emotion tore through fear just long enough for her to act.

Her hands moved swiftly, summoning Lubao once again.

Snowflakes swirled just as another black beam lanced toward her.

“Xun xun!”

Little Treasure’s blue eyes gleamed, he warped space again, dragging Qiao Sang, Yabao, and the others to safety at ground level.

Even under Nightmare Aura… they still have the courage to fight.

Mikayla, who had been frozen in hesitation, stared in awe. Every time she thought of helping, Qiao Sang and her beasts somehow pushed through on their own.

Gangbao, are you okay?

Qiao Sang called through the link.

No response.

Her heart clenched. She recalled Gangbao to her Beast Codex and raised her gaze again, still shaking, but steadier now.

The image of Gangbao shielding her had quelled her fear.

“Lu Di…”

Lubao’s tail stiffened, her limbs trembled.

“Don’t be afraid.”

Her calm, firm voice broke through the haze.

Lubao turned and met her gaze. Seeing that unwavering light in Qiao Sang’s eyes, the little beast’s fear dimmed.

The Grave Spectre, enraged by repeated failures, grew restless.

Its aura surged. Above it, from the rolling black mist, a shadow, over thirty meters tall, slowly formed.

“Mom…” Guo Ruiqi whimpered, collapsing, clutching his head.

That shadow’s just an illusion… It just looks terrifying…

Qiao Sang’s voice was steady, eerily so.

“Ice Field Domain.”

Lubao stepped forward.

Temperature plummeted. Ice encased the world once more.

Third Ice Field Domain.

Lubao’s energy was running dangerously low, but there was no time to rest.

“Healing Soundwave.”

Then to Qingbao: “Use Wind, disperse the black mist!”

“Qing qing…”

Qingbao looked up, trembling.

“You can do it.”

Her tone carried absolute trust.

I-I can’t

… Qingbao’s clouds shook.

Then...

“Lu Di~ Lu~ Lu Di~”

Like the song of a sea spirit, Lubao’s ethereal melody echoed through the air. Invisible ripples of healing spread outward.

“Qing qing…”

Calmness returned to Qingbao’s eyes.

She became wind, rushing forward to scatter the Nightmare Aura.

“Wake Yabao.”

Qiao Sang’s next command came instantly.

Little Treasure obeyed, licking Yabao’s cheek.

The large beast stirred but didn’t wake.

So deep asleep even now…

Qiao Sang forced a shaky laugh, inhaled, then bellowed: “Yabao! Wake up!”

“Yap!”

Yabao’s eyes snapped open.

“Yap?”

Seeing the battlefield, he jolted fully awake.

Finally

. Qiao Sang exhaled shakily.

“Lubao, Energy Regeneration.”

“Lu Di.”

Lubao’s fur glowed blue again, slowly recovering her strength.

A loud crack split the air.

The Grave Spectre’s ice shell fractured.

Maintaining Ice Field while regenerating was too taxing… If it attacks now!

She decided instantly: “Yabao! Meteor Rain!”

The thinning mist revealed the Spectre’s true form again.

“Xun xun!”

Little Treasure pressed a paw to the ground, shadows rippled outward, stretching toward the creature.

But the Spectre vanished, along with its shadow.

It’s using ghost-type invisibility!

Yabao gathered fiery red energy in his mouth.

“Metal Sound!” Mikayla shouted.

If the Spectre wasn’t guarding, that would force it visible.

Sleepbird, trembling behind Lubao, tried to sing, but fear still smothered it. Without Mikayla’s direct support, it barely managed to stay on the field.

At least it hadn’t fled.

The Grave Spectre’s body disappeared, but its shadow did not.

Little Treasure’s shadow entwined with it, locking it in place.

The massive phantom froze midair, unable to move.

“Xun xun…”

Little Treasure’s paws trembled from strain, but he held on.

Yabao unleashed his fiery blast.

Just then, the Spectre reappeared above Yabao, claw raised, dark energy surging.

It slammed down.

“Yap!”

Yabao lunged up, fangs blazing red, Holy Bite struck true.

“Muuu!”

The Spectre screamed, its spell faltering. The dark sphere fell, detonating near Yabao.

The phantom shattered and vanished.

Yabao was hurled backward by the blast.

But his own Meteor Rain had already launched.

“Muuu!!”

Furious, the Spectre fired a black beam toward Yabao mid-fall.

“Ra!”

“Xun xun!”

Little Treasure warped space again, the beam veered off, missing Yabao by inches.

As Yabao fell, a gust caught him, Qingbao’s wind form softened his landing.

Such perfect coordination… even without orders.

Mikayla watched in awe.

Then, the heavens burned red.

Meteor Rain fell, countless fireballs streaking down.

But without Yabao’s control, the attack risked hitting allies too...

Just as Mikayla raised a spell, Yabao’s body erupted in bright flame.

“Qing qing!”

Qingbao’s eyes brightened with joy.

The Blaze trait had triggered.

“Muuu!!”

The Grave Spectre roared, dark energy exploding outward. The battlefield drowned again in shadow.

“Xun xun…”

Little Treasure struggled, the darkness severed his link.

The world dimmed to black.

Then...Qiao Sang’s calm voice cut through it all: “Ice Field Domain!”

“Lu Di!”

Lubao stepped forward, frost spreading outward. The temperature plunged, the black mist froze solid.

“Gigantic Ice Spikes! Lava Purgatory!”

“Lu Di!”

Monolithic glaciers rose from the ground, crashing down in succession.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The Grave Spectre was buried.

“Yap!”

Flames surged from Yabao’s body. The ground cracked, lava burst forth, engulfing the battlefield.

Blue ice and red magma intertwined, frozen inferno.

“Muuu!!!”

The Grave Spectre’s roar shook the air.

Guo Ruiqi, trembling, dared to open his eyes.

W-what kind of… skills are these…?

Though King-level, the Spectre’s ghostly body couldn’t withstand such dual-element devastation.

That should do it…

Qiao Sang exhaled.

When the last explosion faded, the battlefield fell silent.

The Grave Spectre lay motionless.

Finally… it’s over.

“Xun xun!”

Little Treasure trotted to the fallen creature, stomping twice on its head triumphantly.

Bad guy! Bad guy!

Then, a flicker of black light pulsed from its skull.

“Xun xun…”

Little Treasure tilted his head, reached in, and pulled out a dark, gem-like crystal that radiated an eerie chill.

Mikayla’s eyes widened.

“That’s… a Tungsten Corpse Crystal…”
