49 - I’m Surrounded by My Own Pets!

"Boom!!!!" The moment the battle began, a massive ancient bronze coffin descended from the sky, kicking up a tremendous cloud of dust. This rusted and weathered coffin towered over 30 meters high, housing one of the Ten Giants, the Celestial Tomb, with not even a hint of its form emerging. [Commander Level - Weapon Type - Rusty Bronze Coffin] An aura of ancient, vast, and timeless energy slowly emanated from within. Standing before this colossal coffin, which resembled a skyscraper, even Lianxing and her Bounteous Moon Hammer seemed as insignificant as ants, with seemingly no chance of winning. "Whoosh—" In the next instant, two giant luminous wheels appeared above Bounteous Moon Hammer's ears, spinning like fluorescent hula hoops. Golden Wheels, Evolved Mutation!!! Soon after, without needing Lianxing's command, Bounteous Moon Hammer instinctively assumed a throwing stance. No strategy was required—just pure, unrelenting bombardment against this enormous entity!!! [Flexibility Amplification] [Heavy Metal] [Sandstorm (Blue)] [Combo x0] [Combo x1] [Whirling Dance] [Golden Jade] [Amber] "Boom!!!!!!!" The next moment, with a deafening roar akin to a cannon firing, the explosive force blew Lianxing right off her feet. Simultaneously, the dark golden wheels rapidly rotated down and shot out like a swift arc, crashing into the rusty bronze coffin in the blink of an eye. Following that was a loud, resounding crash. Upon impact, the lightning-like light wheels left the bronze coffin unscathed, without a single mark. As expected from one of the Ten Giants... Its defense specialization was truly extraordinary. Moments later, a slowly rotating deep-red wheel came crashing in at an unimpressive speed, hitting the bronze coffin's lid. "Boom!!!!!!!" This time, the impact was so catastrophic it was beyond imagination, with the entire hundred-meter radius of the training space shrouded in dust. Seconds later, the dust cleared. The two golden wheels returned, one after the other, to Bounteous Moon Hammer's ears. Simultaneously, on the surface of the rusty bronze coffin, a faint crack appeared, visible to the naked eye. However, in less than a breath, the wound healed itself. [Battle Technique: Instant Regeneration (Deep Purple)] Seeing this, Lianxing, who had been blown to the corner by the shockwave, was not disheartened; instead, she gave Bounteous Moon Hammer an enthusiastic thumbs-up. Her attack had made an impact!!! The amber-mutated golden wheels were tough to hit with, but once they did, they unleashed devastating power. If they could damage the rusty bronze coffin without combo stacking, Lianxing was confident of her victory. "Boom Boom!!!!" In the next moment, Bounteous Moon Hammer re-fired the golden wheels in a jet-like fashion. Terrifying gusts tore through the air, blasting the surface of the bronze coffin's lid with a fiercer explosion. This time, both the impact and the resultant damage were even more pronounced. Grabbing back the twin golden wheels, Bounteous Moon Hammer didn't pause before launching another fierce attack, utilizing spring-loaded firepower to propel them forward. "Boom Boom Boom Boom!!!!" "Boom Boom Boom Boom!!!!" [Combo x4] [Combo x5] [Combo x6] [Combo x7] [Combo x8] [Combo x9] As the combo count increased, the rusty bronze coffin's condition began to deteriorate. The regeneration technique was unable to keep up with the frequency of hits, and its surface was marred with cracks and pits. Finally, with accumulated damage reaching a certain level, a faint golden glow began to rise from the bronze coffin's surface. [Battle Technique: Damage Rebound (Gold) - After charging for 17 seconds, returns all damage received in the past 3 minutes] The rusty bronze coffin had activated its trump card. In the previous Academy League, Iron Residence's Celestial Tomb had used this battle technique to instantly defeat another of the Ten Giants, Aurora, making its reputation spread across several states. It was known that Bounteous Moon Hammer had virtually no defense; taking even a single hit from her own attacks was out of the question, let alone enduring the terrifying might of being barraged by golden wheels ten times in a row. Once this technique was triggered, the battle would conclude. However... "It's over——" Lianxing's mischievous starry eyes twinkled with delight again. If the rusty bronze coffin could withstand this blow, then she'd have no business being a beast tamer and could switch to personal sales instead~~~~ "Boom!!!!!!!" In the next second, with a terrifying burst like a rocket taking off. The altered golden wheel of the Amber Palace exploded forth in a blaze. This time, Bounteous Moon Hammer didn't even bother to throw the dark golden wheel, choosing to hurl the deep red wheel with all her might. [Trait: While airborne, Amber Palace can conduct a 'Trauma' assessment, allowing this hit to ignore the enemy's defensive attributes] "Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" As the golden wheel made impact with the bronze coffin's surface, an ear-splitting explosion resounded through the training space. A terrifying blaze devoured everything around, and an explosive shockwave erupted, shrouding the entire world in dust and debris. Though Lianxing herself was nearly caught in the destructive aftershock, seeing the panel popping up before her, she knew—the battle was over... [Bounteous Moon Hammer: 31→35] [Golden Wheel: 12→18] The training points soared on the spot. Before, Lianxing didn't dare recklessly use the Amber Palace's trait, fearing that it might trigger the opponent's counter-damage technique before her combo had maxed out. This was reserved as her final blow to completely obliterate the commander-level defense!!! [You have defeated Iron Residence's Celestial Tomb. Do you want to record your personal panel entry?] [Bounteous Moon Hammer recorded successfully, Golden Wheel recorded successfully] [Do you want to record player ID?] [No] [Do you want to input a false ID?] [False ID successfully recorded] [Do you want to record complete image?] [No] [Adjustments complete] [Your ranking has been updated] Of course, Lianxing wouldn't register her ID and image, given that she was currently battling while soaking in a bath—naked, with no clothes on. How could she let others see her in such an uncovered state? —— —— "Hello, beauties, good evening. Today is another day of challenging the Ten Giants~~~" In a certain virtual duel space, a girl with long, smooth blue hair flashed a sweet smile and made a peace sign. She wore a sea-blue uniform, with skirt ripples resembling ocean waves, dreamlike and incredibly stunning. [id: Mirage Sea Academy's Novice] [Live-stream viewers: 1.56 million] While some people in this virtual dueling arena might not have heard of Novice, everyone undoubtedly knew the famous Mirage Sea Academy. The Mirage Sea Academy, the undisputed titan of the Academy League, had been champions for three consecutive years. The top of the Ten Giants, the Celestial Spring, was hailed as the strongest of the past 30 years!!! Novice was merely the third seat of the Mirage Sea Academy team, yet her account's followers were comparable to those of Volcano Academy's Abyss, the lowest of the Ten Giants. Moreover, her live show was even more spectacular.
