84 - I’m Surrounded by My Own Pets!
The long, flowing hair of the two girls, Lian Xing and Silver Dragon, began to whip backward, and the clothes on their bodies were torn to shreds by the reverse wind, transforming their once-visible figures into indistinct blurs as if moving at high speed. “Bang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” In the next moment, the entire valley was pulverized by the reversing storm. Like a hurricane sweeping over, all the terrain and gravel, even the towering peaks touching the sky, were flattened and vanished in an instant, reduced to mere fleeting sights. Lian Xing and Silver Dragon were hurled more than ten kilometers away, swiftly disappearing at the edge of this nest-like gorge, becoming mere tiny black dots in the eyes of the three boss-level commanders. This is the prowess of the white-robe's throw... It doesn't hurl any external object, but manipulates the local wind direction and speed...! Silver Dragon, blown away amidst the storm, couldn't help but feel a deep-seated desperation at its ultimate level of power. Faced with such overwhelming strength, even commanding the wind proved futile; surviving a ten-kilometer tumble and landing steadfastly seemed like a hopeless endeavor against the oppressive might possessed by the white-robed destroyer, something that evoked memories of the top rank within the ten giants, Tianquan... Confronting adversaries of this magnitude, victory was an impossible dream!!! Simultaneously, Baoyue Yuchui's body continued to sway at a thousand meters in the air, holding on tightly to Lian Xing's ear without relenting, desperately clutching the golden-haired girl as they flew through the air like mere scraps of paper. Undoubtedly... Baoyue Yuchui has lost... The evolutionary path for the Shining Type has been unceremoniously severed once more. Lian Xing had initially thought this was just an ordinary extreme commander-level nest, never imagining that Silver Dragon's intel would be incorrect!!! Or rather, it was unimaginable that three throwing-type extreme commander-level creatures could coexist!! Not even a Beastmaster could manage a line-up of the same type of beast without infighting, let alone solving this century-old dilemma with wild beasts... So... What exactly lies within the cave guarded fiercely by the white-robed destroyer that merits such unfaltering protection? At this very moment, the golden-haired Lian Xing, held tightly in Baoyue Yuchui's embrace amidst wildly chaotic winds, slowly opened her starry eyes. In that instant, her sight passed through the unending rampage of gale before her, reaching the white-robed destroyer tens of kilometers away. “......” “......” Meanwhile, having resolved the ants before it, the white-robed destroyer showed no emotional fluctuations and turned to return to the far end of the nest. Sustaining such an attack, even if not dead, the pet lineup of those two ant-like Beastmasters would be all but crippled. Leaving the rest to Kuwan Demon Rabbit and Wan Feng's swirling snow would suffice. Yet... In the mere moment the white-robed destroyer turned its head, Its pupils constricted in disbelief. Gradually, Wan Feng's swirling snow and Kuwan Demon Rabbit became aware that something was wrong. Just now, the white-robed destroyer's blow had swept away those two Beastmasters and all their pets. However... Two giant deep red star-ring darun remained fixed at the center of the three, wholly untouched by the world-flipping, violent storm!!!!!! The Crimson Palace Master still lingers here......!!!!!! What’s happening? In that moment of realization, even the white-robed destroyer’s mind stumbled briefly to a halt. Yes, should one fail in battle, death is merely a triviality~~~ But could Lian Xing simply watch the Shining Type's evolution path of Moonlight Rabbit get severed!? To not fear death, but fear dying without comprehension!! Hence, as long as it's an enemy seen by Moonlight Rabbit, regardless of who, any rank ... Pay any cost, beyond any price!! She will strike them down on the spot!!!!!!! “Swish—” In the following second, the entities of the two darun simultaneously dissipated like bubbles. In their place, a vast crimson star-ring expanded threateningly larger. The outer crimson blade expanded instantaneously a thousandfold, ominously enveloping the entire valley's nest, akin to a colossal spectral energy palace, encasing the three extreme commander-level bosses within. In that instant, a concept and presence beyond the novice village descended. Crimson-quality combat skill. Crimson Palace, activated!!!!!! —— —— [PS: A 10,000-word update asking for monthly tickets, folks, when promised, if 400 tickets arrive today, another 10,000-word update awaits tomorrow.] [PS: A 10,000-word update asking for monthly tickets, folks, when promised, if 400 tickets arrive today, another 10,000-word update awaits tomorrow.] Chapter 65: Legendary and Fallen Kind!!! If golden combat skills serve as a staple for most commander-level beast companions, then dark-golden combat skills are prized by only the pinnacle commanders, also a rare evolution condition for select species. Even evolving Baoyue Yuchui to Tianfu Rolling Curtains only needed a golden throw-type combat skill, not mandatorily equipped with dark-gold. However, crimson... Crimson-quality combat skill cards have transcended the understanding level of White Moon State, a rarity never encountered by the vast majority of commander-level Beastmasters in a lifetime. And this singular crimson combat skill naturally emerged as the exclusive skill from Crimson Palace Master post-mutation success!! Crimson-quality combat skill— Crimson Palace!!!!!! With its activation, the entire gorge-like nest was engulfed by crimson, ethereal luminescence. An expanse of skies stretching tens of kilometers around was instantly stained red, akin to a blisteringly erupted sun. Simultaneously, Kuwan Demon Rabbit, Wan Feng's swirling snow, and the white-robed destroyer, the three extreme commander bosses, found themselves within its radius. They constantly turned in vigilance, eyes suspicious of their surrounds, wary of unknown attacks. Yet at that moment, the white-robed destroyer subtly raised a sleeve, covering its mouth and nose lightly to seemingly interpret enemy movements through it. But the subsequent second, its pupils constricted fiercely, its body involuntarily trembling. "Smell..." "Familiar..." "The red flavor..." As the spine-chilling fragmented words faded, the white-robed destroyer instantly covered its body with both sleeves, huddling crouched for full-circle, faultless defense. Simultaneously, a reverse wind surged from around it, distorting the ground and field at the white-robed destroyer's core, pushing all things outward, wildly reversing and annihilating into dust. Even its two companions were blown away by the domineering, overwhelming aura it emitted. The white-robed destroyer perhaps thought such measures would shield against the seemingly intractable crimson combat skill. However... Ten mere seconds elapsed by, as the crimson aura retracted, it realized... Before the crimson combat skill, the worldly matters are universally treated... The halos of the darun vanished, blurring the vision of the three commander-level bosses, akin to an old television before the frame-drop into static shuts it off. “Buzz—!!!!!!” An instant of profound silence ensued. Thrown mid-air, Silver Dragon’s pupils widened slowly, beholden to this earth-shattering, astonishing scene. Just diagonally beneath her, within a radius spanning tens of kilometers, countless cliffs and terrain vanished in a blink of an eye. No scent of blood, no hint of sound throughout, a dead silence, serene and noiseless. In her sight, the entire nesting site evaporated, as if having never existed. Even the beast essence permeating the air twisted into disarray. At this moment, as the crimson glow gently dissipated, the Crimson Palace Master's form reincarnated, though like a dehydrated figure, crashed back to the ground, with the surface contour’s crimson glow having grown dimmer significantly. Nonetheless, a sliver of life resiliently persisted, retaining against a direct return to the companion beast space. Originally, Crimson Palace’s effect was six continuous strikes on all entities within for 60 seconds, but fearing damaging the treasures guarded by these three extreme commander-level bosses, Lian Xing instructed the Crimson Palace Master to halt the skill after ten seconds, hence avoiding full exhaustion. After all, based on Lian Xing’s comprehension and belief, nothing below Royal Class should withstand a crimson-quality combat skill. Bear in mind, the slashing judgment of Crimson Palace isn’t anchored to a point, but applies limitless omni-directional slashing internally, a veritable execution by a thousand refined cuts!!! Kuwan Demon Rabbit and Wan Feng's swirling snow stood amidst retreat, nonetheless dissolved inexplicably into gray-white particles dispersing. Ultimately, not a milligram of ash remained, leaving only two shimmering commander-level crystals and two golden combat skill cards. Several seconds later, only the white-robed destroyer remained on the spot unscathed. Although it seemed uninjured on the outside, its internal organs and crystal had collapsed utterly, full of unsightly breaches. Before its consciousness completely dissipated, the white-robed destroyer fixed its dim and lackluster eyes on the Crimson Palace Master's fading darun core, its gaze filled with an indescribable mixture of yearning and envy. Its lips moved slightly. "Why..." "Is it not... me...?" With a voice tinged with helplessness and melancholy, the body of the white-robed destroyer gradually faded away. From its fallen crystal, a dark-golden combat skill card slipped out.
