Chapter 218 - Earth Dragon VS 3-Headed Fire Lioness
"3-headed Fire Lioness, do you actually think you can defeat me?" The Earth-Dragon taunted Master Xeng's Beast, "Remember when we are yet to be captured by these puny humans, you and I had a battle and you lost. Don't tell me you have forgotten about it."
"Roar!" The 3-headed Fire Lioness was enraged as its eyes revealed fires of fury. It seemed like the Earth-Dragon had hit its sore spot.
Indeed, when they were still in the forest, the two beasts had fight it out to determine who would be the king of the forest and rule the entire beastdom. As the two beasts were the strongest of the forest, they decided to have a battle in order to determine who's the strongest and thus, leading to the 3-headed Fire Lioness' loss. Although at first, they were evenly matched, after several exchanges, the Earth-Dragon got the upper hand and eventually defeated the 3-headed Fire Lioness.
Master Tamer's Xeng eyes flashed with worry, so his beast was already defeated by this dragon? Then why on earth the Guild Master had not said such an important thing? It seemed like they were asking for shame to dawn upon them, right?
The Guild Master, of course, did not know this fact. He was not the one who captured the two beasts so basically, he did not pay any heed to this matter. In fact, even the one who captured these two beasts did not know the fight between them.
"Oh, so you still want to fight?" The Earth-Dragon sneered, "Since you are so eager to experience beating once again, I shall grant your wish!"
The Earth-Dragon made tens of balls of rocks mid-air.
Whoooosh! The balls of rocks were thrown towards the 3-headed Fire Lioness.
"Roar!" The 3-headed Fire Lioness had roared once again and created multiple fire thorns. Soon, it directly clashed with the Earth-Dragon's balls of rocks!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The rocks kept coming from the dragon as it continuously created one after another while the lioness' fire thorns also did the same, clashing with the rocks evenly! The clash created rumbling sounds all over the arena, created huge pits around them!
These two beasts, who were only at the first stage of the Immortal Realm, had displayed a magnificent show that everyone was awed! The colors created by the streaks left by the fire thorns in its trajections were beautiful that some master painters had gotten an inspiration!
Although the rain of rocks could be seen as pure brute force, it was still beautiful in its own form! After all, it came from the arrogant Earth-Dragon!
This stalemate continued for more than 5 minutes. After which, the 3-headed Fire Lioness showed signs of weakening. It seemed that it could not compete in terms of stamina against its opponent.
"This is bad." Master Tamer Xeng had also noticed this. However, he did not panic and thought rationally. If he panicked now, he could not think straight and it would influence his decision which may lead to his early failure. He experienced this predicament so many times now, so if his mind did not mature, then he was an extreme idiot.
But what should he do to retaliate? He could not fight himself since this was a battle against beasts. He kept thinking and thinking until a plan was made in his mind. He suddenly sent a message via telepathy to the 3-headed Fire Lioness and it immediately recognized it.
"Roar!" The 3-headed Fire Lioness had retreated back until it reached the end of the arena. It seemed like it was charging and creating a momentum for itself.
"Hmm?" The Earth-Dragon was confused about what this lioness would do.
As the 3-headed Fire Lioness was about to receive the barrage of rocks, its three heads' eyes suddenly flashed with viciousness and spun fast, creating a massive tornado. The wind got disturbed as it was sucked by the tornado, lifting the rocks upwards.
After which, the 3-headed Fire Lioness stopped spinning and as the tens of balls of rocks were lifted in the air, they seemed like little stars. Soon, as the tornado had disappeared, the rocks, which were still mid-air, suddenly abided the law of gravity as it fell down like a rain of small meteorites!
Seeing this situation, the guards of the arena immediately activated the barrier to protect the audience from harm.
"..." The Earth-Dragon did not expect this kind of move from its opponent. He immediately faced his back upwards, strengthening his scales on its back and put Lang Zing in its protection against the incoming rocks. Master Tamer Xeng also used a protective barrier for him and his beast.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Explosive sounds were heard as the rocks descended to the arena. It created colossal pits because of the momentum and impact it carried along! The Earth-Dragon was hit several times before all the rocks had finally descended.
Its expression was quite complicated. To think that its own skill would be the one injuring it! However, after a while, its expression revealed a darkened one. It released Lang Zing and faced its opponent once again.
"Nice move." The Earth-Dragon said, "To think that a puny human like you can actually make my own attack hurt me. You made my rocks flew high enough so that my control with them would be cut. After this, you created a momentum for the rocks as it abided the pull of gravity, making me helpless against it. This way, even the rocks came into my area of control, the momentum would not let me do so. I say, very well done."
Master Tamer Xeng did not answer to the dragon's praise, but he frowned.
The air got tenser as the aura of the Earth-Dragon completely changed. Soon, the rocks on the ground started moving upwards and combine itself one after another. After which, what presented them was a huge boulder of rock that could measure half of the entire arena! It was colossal that it made the spectators gasp in awe!
The Earth-Dragon, with its sharp glaring eyes, looked at Master Tamer Xeng and his beast, "Do you think you can dodge this using the ability which your beast has?"
Master Tamer Xeng was not dumb. So all he could do was smile wryly and took a deep breath before saying, "We concede."
As a master tamer, he prioritized the well-being of his beast more than anything else. Although the lioness and he did not yet have a bond, it was still, after all, his tamed beast. And he could not bear to see his beast suffering. If it could be avoided, even if it would mean losing, then he would not mind. He knew that if they continued this fight and receive the huge boulder of rock from the dragon, it might kill his beast. He was not willing to bet over something he knew he would just take so much loss.
Perhaps, this was his way of being a master tamer.
The Guild Master did not say anything and instead smiled. It was not really a mistake to accept Xeng to be under his tutelage.
Hearing this, the announcer was shocked at first and said, "Master Tamer Xeng, out!"
"Winner, Young Master Lang Zing and his Earth-Dragon!"
Loud cheers and applause came from all sides of the arena.
However, Lang Zing was flabbergasted. He did not do anything yet they already won?
