Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1436

Chapter 1436. Nightmare

As the Beastmaster of the Echo Spirit Master, her voice had been nurtured, allowing her to amplify it and enhance sound waves, ensuring better penetration into her pets’ brains. Even when the pets were asleep, there was a high probability they would hear her in their dreams.

At the same time, in the dream,

the Echo Spirit Master, hearing the surrounding mockery, was in agony, covering her ears and shedding two streams of tears.

Little Treasure, beside her, was gulping down energy when it suddenly let out a burp.

Startled, it quickly covered its mouth.

The Echo Spirit Master was still weeping, covering its ears.

When it realized the Echo Spirit Master couldn’t hear its burp, Little Treasure breathed a sigh of relief.

“Wake up!”

Suddenly, a voice from beyond the heavens rang out high above, like 3D surround sound, echoing throughout the dream.

The Echo Spirit Master stopped crying, abruptly looking up at the sky. Then, as if realizing something, it looked at its incredibly dark opponent before it, its eyes suddenly sharpening.

Little Treasure sensed danger and moved to its side, silently circulating its energy.

“Echo!!!”

The Echo Spirit opened its mouth, and this time, it succeeded.

The piercing scream transformed into a shattering force, spreading throughout the entire arena.

“Hehehe…”

The Netherworld Lord, who had been mocking it, vanished. Josan and Serana on the platform, the host and guests on the commentary stage, and the audience from all directions all disappeared.

Then, everything around them shattered with a “crack,” like a mirror breaking apart.

…

In reality.

The Echo Spirit remained awake, its eyes closed.

In the audience, those who had been waiting for the Echo Spirit to awaken couldn’t help but murmur and murmur amongst themselves.

“What’s going on? Why hasn’t Echo Lord woken up yet?”

“I don’t know, is it because the Dark Ring Lord’s hypnosis skill is too high?”

“Even if the Dark Ring Lord’s hypnosis has reached the profound level, it shouldn’t have taken this long to wake up. Echo Lord has fallen into profound-level hypnosis before, and it woke up as soon as Sera called it. Now Sera has been calling it for a long time and it still hasn’t woken up, something must be wrong.”

“If the Dark Ring Lord is using Dream Eater, shouldn’t a pet with strong enough mental power notice something is wrong and wake up faster?”

“Don’t you guys think Echo Lord’s dream is very unusual? It even cried.”

“Profound-level hypnosis can control the content of dreams, Echo Lord must be having some kind of nightmare.”

“I really want to know what kind of dream could make Echo Lord cry.”

“Could the Dark Ring Lord have entered Echo Lord’s head and used something other than Dream Eater?”

“Almost a minute has passed, but Echo Lord still hasn’t woken up,” Nefertis said from the commentary platform.

“If the Lord of the Nether Rings had been on the field just now, the result would already be in the match,” Auror remarked.

“Heart Heart,”

Heart Heart called out, indicating that if the Lord of the Nether Rings hadn’t been inside the Echo Lord’s body, the Echo Lord might have already woken up.

Nephthys pondered for two seconds and guessed, “Perhaps the Lord of the Nether Rings wasn’t using Dream Eater inside the Echo Lord’s body, but a higher-level skill that could affect the target in a dream. Josang’s previous command was just to confuse Serana.”

“That’s very possible,” Auror agreed, “Otherwise, the Echo Lord wouldn’t have remained unconscious for so long.”

“Heart Heart…”

Heart Heart called out with a sigh, indicating that Josang was truly a terrifying Beastmaster, still hiding his abilities even in the round-robin stage.

How could it not wake up? What kind of skill is the Netherworld Lord using inside the Echo Spirit Lord’s body…? On the high platform, Sera’s anxious forehead beaded with sweat. Gathering her breath at the tip of her tongue, she shouted even louder than before: “Loudly! Wake up!”

…

In the dream, everything around her shattered like a mirror.

Then, as if the shattered mirror were being reassembled, everything that had disappeared reappeared.

The opponent, who was incomparably black, the audience, the host and guests on the commentary stage, her own Beastmaster and her opponent on the high platform.

Only this time, the audience was cheering, seemingly surprised that it had woken up, while the opponent, who was incomparably black, had a solemn expression.

Had it already woken up?

The Echo Spirit Lord was uncertain for a moment.

Before it could think further, the opponent, who was incomparably black, suddenly disappeared.

Immediately afterward, its own Beastmaster issued a command: “Scream!”

“Echo!!!”

The Echo Spirit Lord subconsciously obeyed the command, letting out an extremely piercing roar.

The arena exploded, the ground shattered.

“Xunxun!”

The opponent, who was so dark it was almost unrecognizable, appeared not far away with a pained expression.

“Echo!”

The Echo Spirit Master’s eyes lit up, and all the doubts in his mind vanished.

At this moment, it was absolutely certain that it had truly awakened.

“Shout again!” its Beastmaster’s voice rang out.

“Echo!!!” the Echo Spirit Lord roared.

An invisible sound wave spread rapidly.

The Echo Spirit Lord didn’t notice that its roar completely drowned out a sound wave coming from the outside.

“Shout!”

“Echo!!!”

“Shout!”

“Echo!!!”

“Xunxun…”

Behind the Echo Spirit Lord, Little Xunbao silently wiped non-existent sweat from its forehead.

It was exhausted, but thankfully it was clever enough to change its dream and fool this guy…

…

In reality.

Time passed second by second, but the Echo Spirit Lord still didn’t wake up.

The clamor in the audience grew louder and louder. On

the high platform, Serana didn’t give up, constantly calling the Echo Spirit Lord’s name.

On the other side, Qiao Sang looked at the still-sleeping Echo Spirit Lord with a hint of surprise.

“Little Treasure Hunt is impressive! Even with Serana’s desperate shouts, it managed to keep Echo Lord asleep. So much time has passed; the Nightmare ability must have caused considerable damage to Echo Lord…” With

these thoughts flashing through his mind, Little Treasure Hunt floated out of Echo Lord’s body.

The entire arena fell silent for a moment, then erupted into a tidal wave of clamor, everyone marveling at the appearance of the Dark Ring Lord.

However, it was quickly noticed that Echo Lord hadn’t woken up yet.

“No way! The Dark Ring Lord is out, and Echo Lord still isn’t awake?”

“Won’t Echo Lord never wake up?”

“No way, it’s just a hypnosis spell, it can’t be that serious.”

“Echo Lord has been asleep for so long, and he was crying so pitifully before, do you still think it’s just a simple hypnosis spell?”

“Oh my god, do you mean Echo Lord will just sleep until the end of the match?”

“Louder!!!” On the high platform, Serana’s heart skipped a beat as she saw the Dark Ring Lord appear, but she didn’t give up and continued shouting.

“The Lord of the Underworld has appeared, but the Echo Lord has not yet awakened.” On the commentary stage, Nefertis sighed, “I wonder if the Echo Lord can wake up within the allotted time.”

One second, two seconds, three seconds… The mechanical-type pet wearing the referee’s badge entered the arena, observed the Echo Lord, then blew the whistle to signal the end of the match, waving a green flag in the direction of Josan and Little Treasure Hunter.

Serana’s face paled slightly, and she stopped shouting.

…

Meanwhile.

In the dream.

Little Treasure Hunter lay on the ground, her eyes glazed over.

The mechanical-type pet wearing the referee’s badge waved a green flag in the direction of Serana and the Echo Lord.

“Let us congratulate the Echo Lord and its Beastmaster on winning this match!” the announcer shouted.

“Echo!”

The Echo Lord raised its arms and shouted.

But just then, its previously fallen opponent suddenly opened its eyes, clutching its stomach and laughing loudly:

“Xun Xun Xun!”

The Echo Lord froze, realizing something, its face turning deathly pale.

Everything around suddenly froze, the entire arena shattering like glass, then reforming.

The Echo Spirit Master opened its eyes.

It found its opponent waving its claws at the audience.

“Let’s congratulate the Nether Ring Lord and its Beastmaster on their victory in this match!” the announcer shouted. The

Echo Spirit Master sensed something and abruptly looked up.

A virtual screen appeared out of thin air on the field, and it watched its avatar change from color to black and white.

The Echo Spirit Master felt a sharp pain in its heart, as if it were in a nightmare.

“Echo!!!”

No!!! (End of Chapter)
