Chapter 929 Beasts Unleashed
Chapter 929 Beasts Unleashed
"Tch, I had hoped you would have lowered your guard enough for this to actually deal some good damage," Beast said as he clicked his tongue in annoyance. What he had just done was a new skill he had created recently.
An invisible attack, a blast of air that was compacted to its fullest by Beast who actually used the mana of his tamed beasts to activate the skill and draw the air around him without the dragon noticing anything.
That was why the dragon thought he was stalling, there was no mana that was being used by Beast, it was all from his tamed beasts, a new function of the spatial dimension, one that allowed Beast to borrow mana from the beasts inside of it to help him out.
The blast that passed right above the dragon's head was another arrow, well, it was a missile to be more exact.
Instead of utilizing the wind element as before, drawing a lot of it immediately, and creating a visible attack, this attack was much more stealthy, and also a lot deadlier, after all, it was very difficult to be on guard against an invisible attack that also had no aura to it before being launched.
The missile was also faster than the arrows, reaching Mach 6 and being almost impossible to dodge unless one noticed that something was wrong the very instant it was launched, like that dragon had.
The dragon's instincts had saved it from Beast's unseen attack, but the battle was far from over. It managed to duck, but the powerful blast had still managed to graze him, a part of his left horn had cracked, and the dragon was now angry.
It stared at Beast with anger before it exhaled and went into the lake. As the flood dragon submerged itself in the safety of the lake, Beast remained poised, his senses sharp as he awaited the dragon's next move.
Reign and the others watched the entire battle patiently, their eyes fixed on the lake as they waited for any sign of movement from the dragon. They knew that Beast was facing a formidable opponent, but they had faith in his abilities.
Suddenly, the water stirred once more, and the flood dragon burst forth from the lake with a roar of fury. Its dark scales glistened in the sunlight as it launched itself at Beast with renewed aggression.
Beast met the dragon's charge head-on, his bow at the ready as he prepared to unleash another barrage of attacks. He knew that he would need to push himself to the limit if he hoped to emerge victorious against such a formidable foe.
Since the battle had started, he had not stopped channeling mana throughout his entire body, and his arrows.
As the dragon closed in, Beast unleashed a flurry of arrows, each one imbued with his mana and aimed with deadly precision. The arrows streaked through the air with blinding speed, striking the dragon with pinpoint accuracy as it attempted to evade the onslaught.
It was too large, however, and it could not evade all the small but powerful arrows.
But the flood dragon was not so easily deterred. With a powerful flap of its seemingly small pair of 2 wings, it unleashed a blast of water that deflected Beast's arrows and sent him staggering backward in order to not be swept by the blast.
Undeterred, Beast pressed the attack, channeling his mana into his bow as he prepared to unleash another skill. There was no arrow notched on the bow, but the dragon noticed the immense mana that was being channeled there.
With a primal roar, Beast released a torrent of wind energy that swept toward the dragon with unstoppable force.
The flood dragon roared in defiance as it countered Beast's attack with a blast of water that clashed with the wind energy in a dazzling display of power. The two forces collided with such intensity that the very ground trembled beneath their feet.
The forest shook heavily, the trees were once again swept away by the shockwave, this time, flying away and breaking into pieces, and the ground started cracking slightly.
The two attacks dissipated, with neither the dragon nor Beast taking the advantage, but the battle was still only beginning.
Beast stared at the dragon before two figures suddenly appeared to his left and right.
On his left, a huge black animal appeared. It looked similar to a leopard, but it was standing at 3 meters tall while its body was over 7 meters long.
Dark purple lines were present on its body as its aura caused the surroundings to quiet down.
Two horns could be seen on its head, each horn slightly curved upwards, and the beast stared at the dragon with a glint in its eyes.
It was of course Blackie, the beast that had been with Beast ever since the beginning. Once, it was a black panther, one that was given a mark and that had changed into a powerful variant species that evolved together with Beast.
On Beast's right, a beast that was over 5 meters tall appeared.
Its sleek, muscular body was covered in scales that shimmer in the light, reflecting the light the fell on it. Its wings stretched out wide, each membrane between its elongated fingers bearing the same dark hue as its skin, yet edged with a subtle iridescence that caught the eye.
The beast spread its wings out, each wing being about 5 meters long and covering both Beast and Blackie with it.
Its head was adorned with sharp, curved horns that protruded from its skull, framing a pair of piercing, amber-colored eyes. A series of ridges ran along the length of its neck, leading down to a powerful chest and abdomen. Its forelimbs ended in wickedly sharp talons, capable of rending through flesh and bone with ease.
As it moved, the beast's sinuous tail swayed behind it, its tip adorned with a barbed stinger poised to strike at any threat. Despite its imposing appearance, there was grace to its movements, a lethal elegance that was present in it since the moment it was born.
The wyvern issued a roar at the flood dragon that stared at it with slight hatred.
Both wyverns and flood dragons belonged to the dragon family, and they were actually ranked the same, as were drakes.
The three different species all had their own specialty and hegemony over an area.
Drakes ruled the land, wyverns ruled the sky, and flood dragons ruled the seas.
Of course, the wyvern that Beast had captured was still young.
It had grown considerably since Beast had first tamed it, in fact, it was only about 1.5 meters tall when he had first seen it, and when he had tamed it, it was already almost 3 meters tall.
All monsters grew incredibly quickly and reached adulthood much faster than other species, and the wyvern was no different.
With two Tier VI beasts alongside him, Beast now stared at the flood dragon, ready to continue the battle.
The flood dragon eyed the two powerful beasts flanking Beast with a mixture of caution and disdain. Despite its formidable size and strength, it knew that facing two Tier VI beasts simultaneously would not be that easy.
The dragon was more powerful than regular Tier VI monsters, but it was facing three powerful Tier VI combatants, and it knew that it would definitely be in pain after this battle, no matter the result.
Beast, sensing an opportunity, seized the moment to launch another assault. With a swift motion, he notched an arrow on his bow and infused it with his mana, aiming directly at the flood dragon's vulnerable underbelly.
The arrow streaked through the air with blinding speed, aimed at a precise point where the dragon's scales were slightly thinner. The flood dragon, caught off guard by the sudden attack, attempted to dodge, but the arrow struck true, piercing its flesh with a satisfying thud.
The arrow did not do that much damage, after all, Beast had launched it quickly, without pouring a lot of mana, but it was still enough to make the dragon roar in pain.
Roaring in pain and fury, the flood dragon retaliated with a powerful blast of water, aiming to knock Beast and his beasts off balance. But Beast was prepared. With a swift command, he signaled his wyvern to take him.
The wyvern roared as it grabbed Beast with its talons and took to the sky while Blackie jumped to the side and started running around the flood dragon with black lightning flickering around it.
Blackie's speed was immense, more than enough to run circles around the giant flood dragon and dodge its attack.
As the flood dragon continued its assault, aiming at Beast who was now atop the wyvern, Beast seized the opportunity to unleash another volley of arrows, each one aimed at the dragon's exposed flank. The arrows flew true, finding their mark with deadly accuracy as they struck the dragon with relentless force.
The flood dragon, however, had learned its lesson and had already reinforced its body, causing most of the arrows to bounce off, while the rare that did penetrate through, did not do a lot of damage at all.
