Chapter 88: The Terrifying Nether Lion!
‘Could it be… Another rose gold Battle Beast?’ Dread began to well up within Hobrick.
Based on Hobrick’s expression, Old Man White had a good guess of what he was thinking.
“You guessed correctly, it is indeed a divine rank!” Old Man White sneered, “Hehe, do you know how I obtained it?”
“Around five years ago, I bought most of the Beast Eggs in the Western Continent’s black market! It took three whole years, and more than 80 billion federal coins! But I finally hatched all of them! And just as I have hoped, in addition to the Thunder Beast I’ve owned since young, I’ve obtained yet another divine beast!”
“This is why I must continue to climb the social ladder! As long as I can implent the decree that I have in mind, I’ll be able to rob you commoners of your wealth. This is the right and privilege of us nobles! I’ll continue to hatch Beast Eggs for as long as I live! And if I die, my descendants will carry on with my will! As long as we continue to hatch Beast Eggs, the White family will dominate the entire continent!”
“Now! Do you finally realize your mistake for splitting up with back then?!”
Hobrick, who was surrounded by his elental beasts, asked in puzzlent, “Then why didn’t you reveal your Nether Lion in the past few years? If I rember correctly, the Thunder Beast was hatched when you were seven years old. It has been seventy years since then!”
“Moreover, untrained Battle Beasts are useless. How would your beast grow stronger if you don’t bring it out for training…” A light bulb lit up above Hobrick’s head. “I see… You trained the Nether Lion in a secret location against the other Battle Beasts you hatched!”
“That’s right! All the Battle Beasts I hatched have been turned into training fodder for the Nether Lion! And now, my Nether Lion is already above the Thunder Beast in terms of strength!! Also, why on earth would I reveal my secret weapon to the world? It’s a secret weapon for a reason!”
Although his Battle Beasts were only epic rank, Hobrick remained calm. As long as he utilized his beasts correctly, he was confident that he could beat Old White!
After renewing his conviction, Hobrick summoned his fifth Battle Beast!
It was an epic rank fire elental!
Water, fire, earth, ice, and plant type. All five elents were present, and they were Hobrick’s complete arsenal of Battle Beasts!
“What a rare sight…” Old Man White could not help but comnd Hobrick’s control over his Battle Beasts.
“Sadly, the tale of the Elental Maestro will end today!”
Old Man White’s words were dripping with killing intent!
‘For the sake of the White family’s future, I must get rid of this obstacle!’
“Roar… !”
“Roar… !”
Affected by their master’s emotions, the two divine beasts roared and flanked Hobrick from both sides!
Realizing that they were in the final phase of the duel, Hobrick no longer held back his strength!
He issued commands to all five of his Battle Beasts!
He ordered the earth elental to raise a tall wall, the plant elental to create a vine trap, and the ice elental to work together with the water elental to attack the encroaching beasts!
As for the fire elental, Hobrick had ordered it to defend him!
However, the Nether Lion’s abnormal flas and its bloodlust had enabled it to stand strong against the water and ice elentals!
It left a trail of flas wherever it walked, and its claw swipes were fast and lethal!
Every ti it swung down its claws, it created a sonic boom!
Moreover, due to the intensity and speed of its swipes, it had also left a temporary fla barrier whenever it attacked!
The temporary fla barriers had made it difficult for the ice and water elentals to approach it!
Whenever they tried to approach the Nether Lion, they would begin to evaporate!
“Hahaha! Old b*stard! Have you forgotten our master’s teachings? My divine rank flas are not so easily extinguished! Especially when you only have epic rank firepower!”
The situation was a complete reversal from the early stages of the duel!
Had it not been for his earth elental and plant elental’s desperate resistance, Hobrick would be in real danger!
After giving it so thought, Hobrick called back his water and ice elental, and sent out his fire elental to face Old Man White’s Nether Lion.
“White! Don’t be so smug!”
Hobrick’s eyes flashed, and after a silent chant, pillars of fire shot up from the ground!
The earth elental followed up the fire elental’s attack with earthen shackles, and with that, they had managed to cut off the Nether Lion’s advance!
The Nether Lion howled in pain. The burning shackles were searing its flesh!
However, Old Man White did not seem to be worried. He crossed his arms and flashed a confident smile at Hobrick.
Hobrick could not determine what was Old Man White thinking. However, seeing as he had managed to injure the fearso beast, he imdiately mobilized the other elentals to launch a combined skill!
Hobrick hoped that it would be enough to cripple the lion!
However, the ferocious beast was smart. It knew how to dodge and counterattack!
Seizing Hobrick’s lapse in judgnt, Old Man White ordered the Nether Lion to roar in Hobrick’s direction!
Thinking that the roar was only a diversion, Hobrick steadied himself for the true attack.
However, a pang of pain imdiately struck him!
It was a type of burning pain!
“Freezing Guard!” Hobrick reacted quickly, and he ordered his ice elental to create a protective suit for him!
His pain no longer intensified.
Moreover, he had also realized what had happened, and it terrified him.
Although the Nether Lion did not unleash any flas, it had managed to raise the temperature of its sound waves!
Moreover, the damage inflicted by the move was no different from regular flas!
“How scary…” It was only then that Hobrick realized just how terrifying the Nether Lion truly was.
“Your cats are rather disobedient, don’t you agree?” Hobrick jested with a flash of determination in his eyes.
“Combined skill! Heaven-devouring Earth Wave!”
The earth elental that was fending off the Thunder Beast imdiately reacted!
After a short period of charging, the ground softened!
Then, the water and fire elentals drilled directly into the ground!
Suddenly, the ground beneath their feet began to shift!
The soil beneath them had beco as smooth as silk, and it was difficult for Old Man White’s Battle Beasts to find their footing. Before long, they began to sink into the soil!
The softening of the soil was a result of the water elental’s abilities!
Following that, the fire elental hidden underground raised the temperature!
For a mont, the Thunder Beast and the Nether Lion yelped desperately. They were about to be completely engulfed by the soil!
Hobrick had been researching this move for a long ti, and this was his first ti using it in battle!
Fortunately, however, the move did not disappoint!
“You’re the one who forgot master’s teachings… In the hands of excellent Beastmasters, even weak Battle Beasts can go toe-toe-toe against strong enemies!”
Hobrick, who was wrapped in a suit of ice, muttered quietly.
