Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1397

Chapter 1397. Chapter 1392 Electro Monster VS Lubo (Two-in-One)

Saye International Arena.

When the two Pokémon appeared in their respective star arrays, the entire arena erupted in cheers.

“Ice Saint! Ice Saint!”

“Electro Monster! Electro Monster!”

Electro Monster, a royal-level Pokémon with three attributes: Electric, Fighting, and Bug. It has a gentle nature, possesses immense strength, and excels at combining Fighting and Electric skills for attacks. It has an electric organ in its abdomen, storing lightning power. With this stored power, it can continuously fire extremely powerful electromagnetic beams for attacks for a period of time without much energy expenditure… Josang stood on the high platform, looking at the Pokémon in the distance, recalling relevant information in his mind.

In interstellar mega-competitions, Bug-type Pokémon are extremely rare, but when they do appear, they are usually among the top Bug-type Pokémon and should not be underestimated.

“Joseph has summoned Ice Saint!” On the commentary stage, Nefertis’s eyes lit up with excitement. “No matter how many times I see Ice Saint, I’m always deeply awestruck by its beauty!”

“Gaston has summoned Electro Monster.” Auror followed up. “Electro Monster is a Royal-level Pokémon, possessing Bug, Electric, and Fighting types. Its lightning speed and immense power allowed it to win two consecutive matches in the last round…”

“Fire Sky?”

Fire Sky Qilin interrupted, asking if the two consecutive wins were against Pokémon of the same level.

“That’s right.” Auror said, “Electro Monster won two consecutive matches against Royal-level Pokémon.”

“Fire Sky.” Fire Sky Qilin exclaimed in admiration, indicating that it was quite impressive, especially for a Bug-type Pokémon.

On the field, snowflakes fell heavily.

Electro Monster transformed into a white afterimage, soaring straight into the sky.

Immediately afterward, it paused in mid-air, its massive, silver scythe-like wings slashing downward.

Two silver blades instantly tore through the sky, hurtling straight towards Lu Bao’s location.

It seemed the opponent had thoroughly studied Lu Bao; the current height of the Electro Monster was just outside the range of the Ice Domain. However, freezing the Electro Monster wasn’t limited to using the Ice Domain… Josan watched the scene, issuing no commands.

She had anticipated this confrontation with the Electro Monster; Lu Bao knew what to do.

Just as the two silver blades struck, a visible chill emanated from Lu Bao, freezing the ground in its path.

Lu Bao moved its claws.

At the same time, the Electro Monster opened its mouth.

Using a high-pitched attack just before striking Ice Saintia would cause a brief pause in all movements—whether using Ice Armor for defense, moving, or counterattacking—significantly increasing the chances of the Electro Monster hitting its target… Gaston kept a close eye on Lu Bao’s movements in the distance.

The high-pitched sound didn’t materialize; Lu Bao successfully moved its claws, using the smooth ice to quickly slide a distance to the side.

“Bang!”

The silver blade missed its target, and the ground suddenly exploded, scattering shards of ice.

Gaston realized something, looked up, and saw that nearly half of the massive, thirty-meter-long Electro Monster was covered in exquisitely crafted ice flowers, like works of art!

And they were growing rapidly!

Ice Flower Seal… Gaston’s eyelids twitched violently.

When did Ice Saint Aya cast the Ice Flower Seal? He hadn’t even noticed!

“It’s Ice Flower Seal!” On the commentary stage, Nefertis’s eyes lit up as she praised, “What a beautiful skill, just as stunning as Ice Saintia.”

Auror said, “Ice Flower Seal is not only beautiful, but also very powerful. Even Electro Monster, another Royal-level Pokémon, was frozen without noticing, which is enough to demonstrate the power of this move.”

“Fire Sky.”

Fire Sky Qilin exclaimed with emotion, indicating that it hadn’t noticed when Ice Flower Seal was used at all.

“Ice Saintia has the Snowfall ability, and Ice Flower Seal is also used to make the sky snow first.” Nefertis said, “If Ice Flower Seal is used during the Snowfall ability, it’s really hard to tell whether it’s the snow from the Snowfall ability or the snow frozen by Ice Flower. In short, the Snowfall ability really suits Ice Flower Seal very well, helping to hide it very well.”

“Fire Sky.”

Fire Sky Qilin exclaimed, indicating that it understood, but it couldn’t see Ice Saintia’s movements when using Ice Flower Seal.

Generally, when a pet uses a skill, it can be detected in advance through its movements, eye color, or cries. However, just now, Lu Bao did not perform any Ice Flower Seal. As for releasing cold air, it only froze the ground of the arena.

Auror pondered and said,

“When the proficiency of Ice Flower Seal reaches the mastery level, the pet can indeed perform Ice Flower Seal without any action. However, the surrounding temperature still drops significantly. You can judge whether Ice Saint Asia has performed Ice Flower Seal by the temperature.” “

But when Ice Saint Asia appeared, the temperature of the entire arena dropped. Unless the pet is particularly sensitive to temperature, it is still difficult to distinguish from it,” Nefertis said.

Just as the commentator was explaining, the audience and the pets in the stands showed amazement. They all took out their phones, zoomed in, and took pictures and videos of the Electro Monster, whose entire body was almost covered with delicate ice flowers, high in the sky.

However, before the ice flowers on Electrodemon’s body could fully cover it, a thick beam of lightning shot out from Electrodemon, shattering the ice flowers in front of it.

“Electrodemon!!!”

Electrodemon roared, and invisible sound waves spread rapidly, instantly shattering the remaining ice flowers on its body.

But at that moment, a colossal ice cone, as large as a mountain, suddenly appeared in the sky above the arena, casting a black shadow as it plummeted vertically with a powerful airflow.

Even after breaking through the giant ice spikes, the Ice Flower Seal attack would still occur. According to the collected information, Ice Saintia also possesses a healing skill akin to a god-level healing power, Healing Light. To defeat it, a different attack method would be needed… Thinking of this, Gaston opened his mouth and issued his first command:

“Electric Slash!”

“Electric Sound!”

The giant ice spikes, almost covering the entire arena, plummeted downwards. Hearing its Beastmaster’s voice, Electro-Spirit ignored the falling ice spikes and instead, with a powerful wing flash, transformed into a streak of yellow lightning, plummeting straight towards Lu Bao’s location.

Lu Bao watched the yellow lightning hurtling towards her from high above, remaining still, but a visible chill emanated from her body once more.

The next second, the yellow lightning crackled and was frozen into a thick layer of ice, revealing Electro-Spirit’s open mouth, frozen in mid-air.

Just as it froze, a beam of yellow lightning shot out from deep within Electromagnet’s throat, instantly shattering the icy shell.

The yellow lightning beam didn’t disappear; it continued to shoot outwards.

With each step it took, the crystalline ice shell would freeze over Electromagnet, but each time it was quickly shattered by the relentlessly shooting lightning beam.

“Electromagnet is using its continuously maintained electromagnetic beam to break through the ice shells that keep freezing onto it! Is it about to break through the Ice Realm like this?!” Nefertis exclaimed from the commentary booth.

Auror remarked, “Continuously unleashing electromagnetic beams to break through the freezing power of the Ice Realm is indeed a good method. When Electro Monster was first frozen, it had its mouth open, clearly Gaston had already thought of how to break through the Ice Realm from the start.”

“Fire Sky,”

Fire Sky Kirin called out, indicating that only a pet like Electro Monster, capable of storing a large amount of lightning power within its body, could maintain such a powerful lightning skill with almost no energy expenditure.

Using electromagnetic beams to break through the freezing of the Ice Realm… Josang spoke up:

“Melt.”

Lu Bao opened its mouth and sprayed a thick jet of water outwards.

Then, it leaped into the water jet and disappeared.

The water jet had no target, scattering across the ground.

“Move,” Gaston commanded.

Electro Monster maintained its lightning beam, drawing a precise arc in the air before striking the spot where the water jet had landed.

“Bang!!!”

A deafening roar erupted as a hemispherical bolt of lightning exploded, slamming into the ground and illuminating the darkness that had enveloped the area.

The frozen ground shattered and scattered, and the water that had been spilled earlier also rose into the air.

Before Lu Bao could even emerge from the blast…

Another deafening “bang!” echoed as a colossal ice spike, as large as a mountain, crashed to the ground, pinning Electrodemon to the ground.

A brief silence fell over the arena.

In the stands, everyone held their breath, awaiting the next development.

“Bang!”

Just two seconds later, the colossal ice spike was sliced in two by a blade imbued with the power of lightning.

Within the separated ice spike, Electrodemon stood, its wings seemingly transformed into lightning blades.

“Electrodemon has cleaved the ‘iceberg’!” exclaimed Nefertis from the commentary booth. Auror

pondered, “I wonder how Ice Saint is now. It can’t have been seriously injured by its own giant ice spike.”

“Fire Sky!”

Fire Sky called out, indicating that it certainly wouldn’t. Look, Electrodemon is frozen again.

On the field, Electrodemon, with its wings raised, rapidly froze into ice.

At this moment, its mouth was closed, so it didn’t immediately unleash an electromagnetic beam to break through the ice shell as before.

Almost the instant Electromagnet froze, another colossal ice cone, resembling a giant mountain, appeared high in the sky, plummeting downwards with a powerful gust of wind. “

I knew Ice Saint wasn’t so easy to deal with…” Gaston wasn’t surprised at all.

To be honest, after watching Josan’s match against Xia Huo, he didn’t think he could win, but the difference between a shutout and not being shut out was significant, and his goal was to avoid being shut out.

Because of his good mindset, Gaston quickly made a judgment: “Giant Strength.”

Inside the ice shell, Electromagnet’s muscles suddenly expanded.

With a “crack,” a crack appeared in the ice shell.

But just then, a frozen water droplet suddenly appeared behind Electromagnet, melting into a water droplet.

The water droplet instantly expanded, and Lu Bao’s head emerged from it.

“Ice Saint,”

Lu Bao called out.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of ice crystals, each about a meter long, appeared around Electromagnet.

At the same time, the ice shell surrounding Electro-Sound Monster shattered completely.

“Sound,” Gaston commanded.

“Electro-Sound!!!”

Without hesitation, Electro-Sound Monster opened its mouth and let out a piercing roar.

Invisible sound waves rippled outwards.

Hundreds of ice crystals cracked simultaneously.

Lu Bao showed a pained expression, but then her expression turned resolute, and a chilling aura spread around her.

Electro-Sound Monster’s voice abruptly stopped; it was frozen solid again.

“Bang bang bang!!!”

One ice crystal after another bombarded Electro-Sound Monster’s body.

“Electro-Sound!”

The ice shell shattered, and Electro-Sound Monster let out a miserable cry.

Actually, being attacked was also an opportunity, because that way it wouldn’t be frozen… Gaston’s brain raced, and he shouted:

“Electromagnetic Heat Blade!”

Electro-Sound Monster endured the pain of the ice crystals constantly bombarding its body, raising its wings, which resembled silver scythes.

“Electro-Sound!”

it roared, and the next second, the surrounding ice exploded, forming a spherical lightning barrier composed of countless interwoven bolts.

Immediately afterward, countless yellow arcs of electricity suddenly appeared around Electro-Sound Monster.

All the arcs converged wildly on its raised left wing.

Electro-Sound Monster’s muscles bulged, and its left wing instantly transformed into a lightning blade over ten meters long.

Electromagnetic Blade, a dual-attribute (Electric and Fighting) high-level skill, concentrated all its power into its wing, transforming it into a lightning blade to slash at its opponent, using a lightning storm containing the power to shatter mountains and split rocks to destroy everything… Qiao Sang’s mind flashed with information about the skill before him.

First, it used the lightning barrier to restrict Lu Bao’s movements, then attacked with Electromagnetic Blade; it seemed the opponent was determined to hit…

The lightning barrier could be removed while taking damage, so compared to being attacked by Electromagnetic Blade, the damage from the lightning barrier was naturally insignificant…

“Electro-Sound!!!”

With these thoughts flashing, Electro-Sound Monster roared again.

An invisible sound wave rippled outwards.

Lubo showed a pained expression, the water droplets on its lower body vibrating and twisting, revealing its entire body.

At the same time, Electro-Monster’s left wing, forming a lightning blade, slashed downwards fiercely.

There was no time to leave the barrier… Josan quickly shouted,

“Protect!”

“Electro-Monster has unleashed a super-tier skill, Electromagnetic Heat Blade!” On the commentary platform, Nefertis exclaimed, “It not only used the lightning barrier to restrict Ice Saintia’s movement range, but also briefly restricted Ice Saintia’s actions with noise! Electro-Monster seems determined to succeed in this attack!”

“Electro-Monster’s ability to unleash so many skills despite being pierced by so many ice crystals shows extraordinary perseverance,” Auror remarked.

“Boom!”

In the midst of their conversation, a colossal ice spike, like a mountain, crashed onto the lightning barrier.

Simultaneously, a chilling aura spread around Lubo, and exquisite ice armor instantly enveloped its entire body.

Moreover, countless ice spikes, each about ten meters long, suddenly condensed and pierced out from its body!

The incoming lightning blade shattered the ice spikes in its path and struck Lu Bao’s ice-armored body!

A powerful burst of lightning erupted, illuminating the entire area for a moment.

“Electric!!!”

However, it was Electro Monster who let out the shrill scream.

Hiss… Everyone and their pets gasped.

The flash of lightning vanished.

The remaining ice spikes, unbroken by the lightning blade, pierced deeply into Electro Monster’s body, which was now inches away.
