Free Web NovelBlack Pearl slowly emerged from the water like a brilliant gem, its beautiful face slightly tilted upwards, as fresh and ethereal as a lotus rising from the water.
During battle, beauty adds points.
There was no one else like it.
The ethereal singing voice seemed to come from another world, echoing above the pool, making people intoxicated.
As the singing began, ripples started to appear in the pool, and countless water droplets, as if enchanted, slowly floated in the air.
"Ah ah ah ~"
Amidst the singing, the water droplets burst open, and tiny, jet-black mermaids danced, all singing a tragic and beautiful song towards the Crimson Flame War Lion.
The characteristic 【Materialization】 can indeed turn a Ghost-type into a physical entity.
However, at the same time, it can only affect one individual.
But now, Black Pearl's Song Enchantment Annihilation can simultaneously conjure a thousand singing phantoms.
The Crimson Flame War Lion and its Beast Tamers had clearly never seen this skill before and were both stunned for a moment, but they must have extensive combat experience as they quickly regained their composure.
Even with the Crimson Flame War Lion being affected by Song Enchantment Annihilation, with various negative statuses stacked, the fighting intent in its eyes remained undiminished.
"Lulu lala ah ya Ayi."
The indigenous Beast Tamers gave commands in a strange language.
The Crimson Flame War Lion roared, energy surged through its body, and its claws ignited with a bluish-white flame, unleashing its most proficient combination skill—Blazing Cross Slash.
Two massive fiery blades, forming an X, slashed at Black Pearl and the noisy ghostly mermaids floating in mid-air.
Although the ghostly mermaids were spiritual entities, they had no defensive capabilities and disintegrated the moment they were touched by the flames.
And this Cross Slash, powerful in both momentum and offense, also sealed off Black Pearl's retreat.
"Volume Water."
Black Pearl conjured a water wall with rolling waves, but the water wall was instantly vaporized.
Before the fiercely advancing heatwave could send it flying.
"Dark Shuttle."
From the very beginning, the Water Dragon Ballad Barrier constructed by Black Pearl had been covered by dark clouds, and even the water surface was shrouded in layers of shadows, all to facilitate the use of its Ghost-type skills.
Just as Black Pearl's figure was about to materialize and leap into the shadows.
The fiery blade suddenly accelerated, as if teleporting—
"Tsk!"
A piercing vaporization sound rang out.
Black Pearl's normally translucent black scales on its fishtail became rough, sickly pale, as if instantly carbonized.
This was a burn status!
Dark Shuttle was forcibly interrupted as a result.
And the well-prepared Crimson Flame War Lion pounced like a fierce tiger.
With a wide-open mouth, Fire Fang and Bite were unleashed consecutively, and its lion claws roughly pressed down on Black Pearl's shoulder, forcefully pushing its body against a stone pillar at the edge.
"As!"
Black Pearl let out a pitiful scream.
So strong!
Despite the unfavorable environment, this Crimson Flame War Lion still displayed extraordinary combat abilities.
This Crimson Flame War Lion, whether in terms of characteristics, skills, practical combat techniques, or adaptability in battle, was stronger than any King-level pet that Mingxi had encountered before!
Of course, 'any' did not include Golden Yuanbao and the others.
The timing of the sudden acceleration in that combination skill just now was very clever.
I wonder if it's the characteristic 【Sudden Inspiration】 or 【Speed Optimization】.
Both of these characteristics can temporarily accelerate skills during battle.
Black Pearl is in a bit of trouble now.
This match won't really go wrong, will it? freewēbnoveℓ.com
Mingxi watched Black Pearl, who was being tightly bitten, and that Crimson Flame War Lion with particularly sharp eyes.
The top priority is to first let Black Pearl break free from the opponent's restraint.
Otherwise, it really will have to sing a sad song.
"Headbutt!"
The Crimson Flame War Lion and its Beast Tamers clearly didn't expect a soft and weak Water and Ghost-type pet to possess a combat skill.
Black Pearl's Headbutt made a shocking debut, catching the Crimson Flame War Lion off guard.
Its mouth, which was tightly biting Black Pearl's shoulder, subconsciously loosened.
Black Pearl seized the opportunity to quickly complete its ghostification, stealthily sliding into the water.
Mingxi sighed inwardly, as expected, no skill is useless; their family's signature skill is performing excellently.
"Abatu ba!"
The indigenous Beast Tamers pounded their chests and roared in anger, clearly upset by the Crimson Flame War Lion's momentary laxity.
I don't understand it, but it must be very vulgar cursing.
It's indeed absurd for a fish to Headbutt, but how much lethality can a mermaid's Headbutt, without combat ability, inflict on a King-level creature?
It could have been completely endured.
Ultimately, it was due to carelessness.
"Crimson Flame!"
The Crimson Flame War Lion was also extremely irritable.
We ordinary humans call this emotion shame and anger.
Its front claws crossed, and it actually tore the flame totem on the back of its claws.
"Boom—"
The pitch-black pool suddenly boiled, and red waves surged on the surface, transforming from cold water into scorching lava.
The lava shot skyward, turning into nine fiery snakes that sealed off the sky!
"Oh my goodness!"
Mingxi was startled.
This was clearly not a supernatural skill, but the manifestation of rule text.
No, this should be a situation where imprinted rule text is forcibly activated in a special way, thereby forming an attack corresponding to the rule text.
Where did this indigenous Beast Tamers and Crimson Flame War Lion come from?
The strength they are now displaying is more than just simply strong.
As for whether the ability the other party used counts as cheating?
Since the trial space did not prohibit the Crimson Flame War Lion from using it, it clearly means it does not.
It's a pity she couldn't understand the indigenous Beast Tamers' 'balawula', and the other party couldn't understand her 'Hello, how are you', otherwise they could have had a good exchange.
This trial space even has clearance rewards, why doesn't it have simultaneous translation?
Bad review!
Although she was extremely curious about the opponent's methods, Mingxi still clearly understood the priorities.
"Water Blast, High-Pressure Ball, Thousand Stacks of Waves, use them interchangeably."
The pool turning into lava not only greatly weakened Black Pearl's environmental advantage but also became an obstacle for it.
Nine fiery snakes spewed flames wantonly.
Black Pearl had nowhere to hide, unable to conceal itself at all, and could only face the battle head-on.
It weaved through the gaps in the fire net, unleashing streams of Water-type skills every time it appeared.
But the Crimson Flame War Lion actually condensed shields from lava, and amidst the explosive steam, the delicate mermaid prince was sent flying countless times by the Impact waves.
"Bang."
"Boom."
"Splash."
"As!"
Black Pearl's struggling sounds were quite lively.
A strange tug-of-war formed between the two sides; Black Pearl appeared to be suppressed and was the weaker party.
But in reality, the situation was not as serious as imagined.
Because Black Pearl has damage absorption feedback and energy crystal skills, with give and take, action and reaction, the consumption was actually not large.
This was also intentional on Mingxi's part.
She wanted to take the opportunity to figure out the operating principle of the rule text totems on the Crimson Flame War Lion.
The rule totems on the Crimson Flame War Lion were not only on the backs of its two claws; identical totems were also branded on its neck, shoulders, and both sides of its back.
