Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1435

1435. Chapter 1430 Nightmare

Ten? Which ten? Serana didn’t immediately understand what command Josang had given.

However, getting close to the Nether Ring Lord was an opportunity.

Without hesitation, Serana issued the command: “Sonic Boom!”

To be honest, the Echo Lord’s strongest attack skill wasn’t a sound-based skill, but that skill was condensed energy, and there was a risk that the Nether Ring Lord could divert it to counterattack the Echo Lord, so she dared not use it carelessly.

Once the sonic boom was successfully unleashed around the Nether Ring Lord, its defense would definitely suffer a severe blow, and its Dark Shadow Control would disappear. Then, she could use an attack skill to finish it off, and the match should be almost over…

No, there was also the Life-Borrowing trait. This wasn’t a big concern. As long as she kept an eye on the Nether Ring Lord’s movements, she could attack it the moment it opened its eyes and before it could react… Serana mentally calculated the commotion that would unfold on the field.

Predicting the opponent’s next move and anticipating the possible battle scenarios was an instinct for some combat-talented Beastmasters.

However, the scene of the Echo Lord unleashing a sonic boom attack on the Nether Ring Lord, as she had imagined, did not occur.

On the field, the Echo Spirit was being controlled to fly towards Little Treasure Hunter.

Hearing its Beastmaster’s voice, it opened its mouth and began circulating energy, but before it could utter a sound, a black shadow, like black silk, stretched out wildly, quickly wrapping around its face, leaving only its eyes exposed.

The Echo Spirit realized something was wrong, but it was too late. Its face was already only about a centimeter away from Little Treasure Hunter, and it could clearly see those purple eyes.

A strong drowsiness suddenly overwhelmed it.

The Echo Spirit uncontrollably tried to close its eyes.

It seemed the “ten” was just a code for hypnosis… Sera shouted, “Loudly!”

She had enough confidence in the Echo Spirit’s mental strength and willpower. Even if the Netherworld Lord’s hypnosis technique had reached its ultimate level, and the Echo Spirit was in a sleep state, it would only be temporary. As soon as the Netherworld Lord attacked, it would wake up; even if the Netherworld Lord didn’t attack, the Echo Spirit would quickly wake up by calling its name.

The Lord of the Underworld lacks any offensive skills that can directly determine the outcome of the match; even if attacked, it won’t cause any serious consequences.

In a flash of thought, Little Treasure Hunter grinned, floated towards the head of the Echo Spirit Lord, quickly entered it, and disappeared.

Serana: “!”

A clamor instantly rose like dust in the audience stands.

“What kind of skill is this? Has the Netherworld Lord used it before?”

“No, this seems to be the first time.”

“Is it Dream Eater? The command Qiao Sang gave earlier seemed to be ‘eat’.” “

It should be Dream Eater, but isn’t Dream Eater used to restore energy? The Netherworld Lord didn’t seem to use much energy just now.”

“Although it didn’t consume much, it still consumed some. It’s good to replenish oneself with the Echo Spirit Lord’s energy. Besides, even though Dream Eater is only a mid-level skill, it can still cause some damage while restoring energy.”

“The Netherworld Lord’s Dream Eater can float directly into the opponent’s head, so it seems his proficiency is quite high.”

“Isn’t that obvious? This is just a mid-level skill. The Netherworld Lord’s proficiency with Shadow Penetration is so high.”

In the battlefield of A-level professional Beastmasters, mid-level skills are rare. Everyone was only surprised for a moment before they started discussing it casually.

“The Lord of the Underworld has floated into the head of the Echoing Spirit after casting a hypnotic spell!” On the commentary stage, Nefertis quickly analyzed, “Judging from Jossan’s command just now, it seems the Lord of the Underworld is about to use the Dream Eater skill!”

Auror said, “This is the first time the Lord of the Underworld has used this move.”

“Heart.”

“Heartfelt!” Zhi’ai chirped, indicating that the energy absorbed and damage caused by Dream Eater were limited, and it could only restore the energy it consumed; it couldn’t absorb anything beyond that. It felt that the Dark Ring Lord was using Dream Eater too early.

Auror guessed, “Perhaps the Echo Lord has been using sound-based skills that cause mental trauma, and the Dark Ring Lord wants to use Dream Eater to give it a mental buffer.”

“Heartfelt!”

Zhi’ai nodded in agreement, indicating that she thought he was right.

Dream Eater… On the high platform, Serana silently breathed a sigh of relief after realizing what skill Little Treasure Hunter had used.

Dream Eater was only a mid-level skill; even if it could restore energy and cause damage, it was extremely limited. Moreover, the Dark Ring Lord hadn’t consumed much energy just now, so even if it recovered, it wouldn’t significantly change the situation. With the Echo Lord’s mental strength and willpower, it should be able to wake up during the Dark Ring Lord’s Dream Eater…

Dream Eater plus Nightmare, hopefully this combination will work… Qiao Sang thought to herself.

Little Treasure Hunter possesses the Nightmare ability. By simply floating into a sleeping target’s dreamscape, even without doing anything, it can plunge the opponent into a nightmare, causing damage.

While physical attacks would quickly awaken the hypnotized Echo Lord, Nightmare only plunges it into a deeper dream, causing damage while simultaneously making it difficult to wake.

If the combination of hypnosis, Dream Eater, and Nightmare is powerful enough, perhaps Little Treasure Hunter could defeat the Echo Lord in its sleep…

Meanwhile,

in the dream world

, the Echo Lord is still on the field. It quickly awakens, looking at its pitch-black opponent, opens its mouth, and is about to attack.

“Hui…”

However, at this moment, it finds itself unable to utter another sound after only one utterance.

It has lost its voice?!

The Echo Lord’s expression turns to one of terror.

“Hehehe!” The pitch-black opponent before it chuckles mockingly.

Along with its laughter, mocking laughter erupts from the audience, growing louder and louder.

The Echo Spirit turned to its Beastmaster for help, only to find the Beastmaster looking at it with disappointment.

For a moment, the Echo Spirit clutched its heart, listening to the mocking laughter from all directions, feeling as if the world was ending.

It didn’t see that the real Little Treasure Hunter was right beside it, greedily absorbing its energy.

In reality, time passed slowly.

The Echo Spirit wore an expression of painful struggle, even silently shedding two hot tears, but it still didn’t wake up.

The moment they saw the Echo Spirit’s tears, a cacophony of voices arose, everyone analyzing what the Echo Spirit had dreamt about that made it cry.

Something’s wrong… It wasn’t dream-eating, or rather, it wasn’t just dream-eating… If it were just dream-eating, the Echo Spirit wouldn’t have stayed asleep for so long, still looking like it was having a nightmare… Thinking this, Sera took a deep breath and shouted:

“Wake up!!!”

An invisible sound wave entered the Echo Spirit’s brain. (End of Chapter)
