章 21: Intense Fight
--- Chapter 20 ---
[Ding! You have killed two 3-Rank Magical Beasts]
[Ding! You have killed eleven 2-Rank Magical Beasts]
[Din-!
[...]
[...]
Baek Ain bounced back and forth fast, swinging both blades in his hands with great force. As Baek Ain landed on the ground, he would cut a massive chunk of Magical Beast's flesh and kill them swiftly.
SWOOSH! BAM!
ROAR!
Baek Ain kicked a massive lizard and launched the beast like a wrecking ball. He used Dou Qi Blast, exploding the ground below him.
BOOM!
Alicia's notification filled his head, and Parallel Thinking kept everything organized in his head.
Baek Ain has been fighting these magical beasts for fifteen minutes, trying to find a way to reach the Beast Tamer. A crowd of magical beasts wouldn't cause so much problem for him, but the damned Beast Tamer controls these beasts and places them in a complex formation.
Every time Baek Ain killed a crowd of magical beasts, the Beast Tamer would change the type of beast from defense-type to agility-type. This annoying guy used guerilla tactics on him, wanting to squeeze out all of Baek Ain's stamina by wasting 2-Rank Magical Beasts' lives.
Unfortunately, Baek Ain could fight for days if he wanted to.
'I just need an opening.' Baek Ain dodged a spray of poisonous needles from a porcupine-like magical beast. He opened his right palm and returned the favor by erupting the area with Energy Blast.
BOOM!
On the other side of the field, the Beast Tamer frowned because this kid was more troublesome than he thought. 'When did Wu Tan City have such a talented person?' He wondered for a moment.
The Beast Tamer is formerly Dou Warrior, like anyone else. He lived in Wu Tan City and was shamed for not being talented, growing hateful toward people with talents.
And Baek Ain's existence doesn't make it any better.
The Beast Tamer was given a chance by an unknown force and obtained the power to control the magical beast, though only up to 4-Rank Magical Beasts.
Still, this is more than enough to wipe this city from existence.
"Kill him!" The Beast Tamer ordered an enormous anaconda to attack Baek Ain.
SWOOOOOOOSH!
Baek Ain's hazel-gold eyes widened because the 4-Rank magical beast, or the equivalent of Dou Spirit Warrior, was attacking out of nowhere.
[Lightning Impulse]
[Steel-like Enhancement]
[Super Jump]
His body moved by itself and dodged the anaconda's attack.
Baek Ain directly used two other skills and moved from the area, climbing to the tall tree nearby. He stood on the top and looked at this 4-rank magical beast solemnly.
He currently could use Golden Crow's Possession twice. The first is through normal activation, and the other with Revolver Skill.
The problem is Baek Ain's boost of cultivation lasted two minutes before he couldn't do anything against the Beast Tamer. He needed to use that two minutes wisely.
After that two minutes, Baek Ain's fighting capability weakened by 50% as his Dou Qi burned to zero.
"I can fight with full stamina with Senzu Bean to catch the Beast Tamer off guard, but that's my last resort alongside the broken hourglass."
Hissing noises filled Baek Ain's ears. The anaconda attacked him again and lashed out its massive tail, swiping the area with unimaginable force.
The baboon Baek Ain fought in the past looks like a joke compared to this snake.
BAM!
Baek Ain evaded the tail whip and commanded Gnome to prepare an earthen fire underground, warming up any possible minerals before blowing up with his Dou Qi.
It's an Area of Effect ability Baek Ain discovered when purifying minerals with Gnome's flame.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The anaconda frantically slithered its body and chased after Baek Ain, creating deep craters all over the area. Trees, rocks, and magical beasts are getting crushed, leaving a bloody pathway.
Baek Ain moved away from Wu Tan City because he didn't want the Beast Tamer to cause more casualties. Then something unexpected happened before his eyes.
The Beast Tamer appeared with his other 4-rank magical beast and closed the way for Baek Ain to run.
"Die." The other 4-Rank magical beast is an armored spider, having spear-like legs. The spider opened its mouth and launched a string powered by powerful electricity.
Webs started to cover the area, but Baek Ain wasn't nervous.
"Take this." He infused the White Light Chakra Blade with Gnome's Flame and Dou Qi, stabbing the ground.
Cracks appeared on the ground and released a bright orange-colored light.
"This-!" The Beast Tamer shouted in horror.
BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
A pillar of light erupted from the ground and washed everything with the shockwave it produced, killing all 2-Rank Magical Beasts in the area.
3-Rank Magical Beast is still alive but barely resists the explosion.
As for the Beast Tamer and his two 4-Rank Magical Beasts, they received some light damage.
"What a fool." The Beast Tamer looked down at Baek Ain, who lay on the destroyed field with a burned body. "Armored Nether Spider is the best defensive magical beast in 4-Rank. This beast could control lightning and form a cage to protect its body."
Baek Ain didn't respond and glanced at the 4-Rank anaconda, seeing its injured scales. With that level of injury, this snake shouldn't be able to chase him quickly.
[Breathing]
Baek Ain crouched down, but not too much because the Beast Tamer would notice something was wrong. After all, He has gathered enough kinetic force to launch himself to near sonic speed.
The distance between him and the Beast Tamer is roughly 40 meters, a perfect span to trick this guy.
"Now, DIE!"
The 4-rank spider moved its spear-like leg and tried to stab Baek Ain as if he was an ant.
[Super Jump]
SWOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!
Baek Ain's body disappeared from the ground and appeared near the Beast Tamer's side. He swung his blades and slashed the Beast Tamer's left arm off.
The Sharp Tiger Blade failed to pierce through the Beast Tamer's chest but still caused enough damage to make this annoying guy scream in pain. The blade broke in half, leaving only the handle for Baek Ain.
Crack!
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHH!!!"
"YOUR BRATTY BASTARD!!!"
The anaconda chased after Baek Ain and sent a powerful tail whip, which Baek Ain caught with his right hand.
Baek Ain's hazel-gold eyes shone with golden flame as his cultivation soared by five levels. He pulled the anaconda's tail and swung the snake around like a doll, smashing into the sharp-looking rock.
CRIEEEEEKKK!
A painful screech escaped the anaconda's mouth. A brown flame soon turned its body into ash.
[Ding! You have killed 4-Rank Giant Anaconda]
"DISCHARGE!"
"Tch." Baek Ain crossed his arm and felt a powerful electric wave attacking him.
The Beast Tamer pulled out something from his spatial ring and consumed a pill. His muscle bulged instantly and grew abnormally big, rivaling a gorilla.
Baek Ain's Sixth Sense detected abnormality about transformation as the Beast Tamer's eyes turned completely purple.
CLANK!
Baek Ain's Lightning Impulse triggered as he lifted the White Light Chakra Sabre.
The Beast Tamer's hand turned beast-like with five sharp claws. His formerly zero cultivation also reached the 5th Dou Spirit instantly.
"HAHAHA, THIS POWER!"
"DIE, KID!"
The Beast Timer swung its claw at Baek Ain, making him frown.
Clank!
'It's just all brute...' Baek Ain gently swung his tanto down, deflecting the claw away.
"HUH?"
"HOW DID YOU?!"
Baek Ain smiled and mumbled in realization, "I see... So this is Rou's secret."
[Ding! You have learned a new skill]
