Speed Is King

397 Pitbulls

"Gah." Saint Dul'Akharat groaned slightly as he unleashed a powerful anti-energy shell around him which struggled to negate the fearsome ice energy around it.

He contracted his massive muscles and gave his body a powerful twist.

Crack!!

The frozen shell around him crumbled into a billion pieces as Saint Dul'Akharat rapidly regained his movement ability.

However, in high level battles, especially ones above Primal level, a split second was extremely long, and the time Saint Dul'Akharat took to free himself was more than enough for his opponent to release tens of deadly attacks, any of which was strong enough to obliterate even stars.

Ice spikes glistening with unblockable energy pierced Saint Dul'Akharat's body from all directions!!

"Afterimage? You're fast." The ferocious white beast with obvious surprise in his voice.

It turned out that the ice spikes merely penetrated the after image of Saint Dul'Akharat!

"You're merely a Shadow Primal. You are dreaming if you think you can deal with me using such a low level skill and attack sequence." Saint Dul'Akharat's voice appeared eerily from all directions.

He had split himself into a thousand images and had surrounded the beast in a blink of an eye!

The white beast didn't bother to reply him and sent out its nine thousand tails surging out in all directions.

For a beast with nine mouths, it was strangely of very few words!

Each of those tails were covered with the same unblockable energy which covered the ice spears earlier, and were exactly the ones which slashed Saint Dul'Akharat's clones into pieces.

"What beautiful tails. I think they will make pretty warm coats for me and my family. Since you have so many, I am sure you don't mind if I take a few, right?" All of Saint Dul'Akharat's thousand images grinned and started slashing away at the tails.

Some of the images dealt no damage at all as their swords passed through the tails harmlessly.

Some dealt a little bit of damage and drew blood, staining the perfect white tails with strikingly red blood.

A few managed to slash off the tails entirely!

The rather tight lipped white beast finally opened its many mouths in a ferocious roar of frustration.

Its many tails surged towards those that dealt damage and tried to viciously rip those images to pieces.

However, each of those images exhibited stunning skill, and after a few minutes of intense fighting, the white beast merely managed to take down a measly ten images out of a thousand!

"Haha! Why are your physical combat skills so poor? Do you have too many tails to control? Here! Let me help you get rid of some of them!" Saint Dul'Akharat thrash talked with the beast and made his images attack with greater speed and greater ferocity.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Hundreds of tails started to get cut off, causing the white beast to descend into a near mindless rage.

It had never faced such a difficult foe before in its entire life! It was born as a Spiritual Grade beast, and its journey to become a Shadow Primal had been extremely smooth.

Saint Dul'Akharat was definitely the strongest and the most irritating enemy it had ever met!

"Beast Split." It finally shouted after losing nearly five hundred of its tails to Saint Dul'Akharat.

Instantly, its body split into nine parts, and each of its nine heads got themselves a body.

And very intriguingly, the nine bodies were made up of three different colours.

Three were completely red in colour, five were blue and the largest and seemingly the strongest one was white.

"Gah!! Finally I am back in my own body! That beast combination skill may be Godly, but it sure is hard to surrender all control to just Death Snow!" One skinny red-furred pitbull with a hundred hundred bushy tails shouted as it started to dodge Saint Dul'Akharat's images with great agility and managed to avoid getting any more of its tails cut off.

"Hard? More like torturous! That Death Snow is so damned cool and quiet, I almost died out of boredom!!" Another skinny red-furred pitbull but with two hundred bushy tails shouted as well.

It too was extremely agile, in fact, it was almost twice as fast as the first one.

"Indeed. I have never felt so suffocated, so stressed in my entire life! Whose stupid idea was it? Who first suggested that we combine into one powerful entity! I won't do it again! I won't!" The third skinny red-furred pitbull with three hundred bushy tails howled.

This third red-furred pitbull was the fastest, and displayed three times the speed of the first.

"It was mine." A powerful blue-furred pitbull with three thousand bushy tails growled. Out of the remaining pitbulls, it was the second largest, just after the solitary white which was far and away the strongest with four thousand bushy tails.

The blue-furred pitbull wasn't as fast as the red-furred ones, but they were extremely tough and extremely strong. He didn't need to dodge Saint Dul'Akharat's attacks.

He was powerful enough to block them!

The remaining four blue-furred pitbulls had around three hundred tails each, and were on par with the strongest red-furred pitbull.

They were as strong as the red-furred pitbull was fast.

"Ah? Big Brother Blue Thunder! It was yours? Ahahaha!! Great idea! Great idea indeed!" The hundred-tail red pitbull laughed loudly.

The other blue-furred pitbulls snickered loudly.

"Enough." The white furred pitbull of few words commanded. "Defeat your opponents quickly and identify its real body."

"Yes big boss! Haiyaaa!!" The chatty red-furred pitbulls acknowledged his commands and immediately started counter attacking with their tails.

The blue-furred pitbulls merely grunted and began trading hits with the images.

Very slowly, but surely, and with increasing speed, Saint Dul'Akharat's images started to accumulate damage, and one after the other, they began to fade away as their energies got depleted.

And within a minute, the number of images had finally dropped past a critical level, and like a bursting dam, the remaining images suddenly all took critical damage and disappeared!

But after they did so...

"Huh? Where the hell is the real body?" The hundred tail red-furred pitbull shouted.
