Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1442

1442. Chapter 1437 Tooth Treasure VS Hellfire Base (Two-in-One)

“Lefeld and Jossan have summoned Hellfire and Infernal respectively in the first game!” Nefertis announced loudly from the commentary booth. The

already excited audience members’ eyes lit up, and they became even more excited, talking loudly and their faces full of excitement, already anticipating a fierce battle.

“I can’t believe Lefebvre sent out Hellfire in the first match!”

“Hellfire against Inferno, this match is going to be exciting.”

“Neither Hellfire nor Inferno seems to be afraid of fire-type moves.”

“They both have the Flash Ignite ability, now it’s a contest of whose Flash Ignite level is higher.”

“No, Hellfire is definitely stronger, it’s already a late-stage Royal-level.”

“Don’t forget, both Hellfire and Inferno have secondary types.”

“Hellfire’s secondary type is Dark, which is perfect against Inferno’s Psychic type.”

“Whether it’s energy or type, Hellfire has a better chance of winning…”

“Can the Flash Ignite ability defend against Holy Fire?”

“I really don’t know, there’s never been a case of Holy Fire appearing in a match before.” “

Although Holy Fire is a fire-type move, it’s different from ordinary fire-type moves. Its damage reaches the soul, so the Flash Ignite ability is definitely useless.” “

Even if it’s strong, it’s still a fire-type move. As long as the Flash Ignite level is high enough, it can’t damage Hellfire.”

“Are you all stupid? Everyone knows that the Holy Fire of the Burning Emperor is special. Even if Hellfire Base has the ability to ignite, it certainly won’t take it head-on.”

Amidst the clamor, Toothbear teleported away and reappeared behind Hellfire Base.

“Pillar,”

Lefebvre commanded.

Toothbear opened its mouth, and a giant Burning Emperor head formed from flames instantly appeared.

It opened its mouth, synchronized with Toothbear’s movement, and bit down hard.

Lefebvre frowned, his eyes becoming more cautious.

Unlike the Fire Fang he used before, the Burning Emperor head formed from flames this time was neither crimson nor golden-red, but pure gold, without any burning sensation.

This was Fire Fang fused with the Holy Fire… Lefebvre made the judgment immediately.

“Bang!”

With a loud bang, the golden Burning Emperor head bit down hard on Hellfire Base’s body.

At the same time, beneath the ground where Hellfire Base was located, a thick pillar of fire, like a blazing dragon, shot into the sky, completely engulfing him and Toothbear’s figures.

The entire area was instantly illuminated in a crimson glow.

“At the same time that Fen Di Duo unleashed Fire Fang! Hellfire Base unleashed Purgatory Tornado!” On the commentary stage, Auror immediately reported the situation on the field: “Both sides’ skills successfully hit each other!”

“Fen Di Duo unleashed Fire Fang, while Hellfire Base unleashed Purgatory Tornado. Between the two, Purgatory Tornado is definitely more powerful,” Nefertis analyzed. “However, Fen Di Duo’s Fire Fang is a golden flame, which is very likely formed from Holy Fire. The power of a Fire Fang formed from Holy Fire is somewhat unpredictable.” “

That’s right, but both Hellfire Base and Fen Di Duo have the Ignite property. It’s just unknown whether Hellfire Base’s Ignite property can defend against the combination of Holy Fire and Fire Fang,” Auror said.

Nefertis said, “I believe that Lefebvre has enough confidence in Hellfire’s Ignite ability, so I didn’t let Hellfire dodge before, but instead had it use Infernal Tornado. This was also to test how much power of fire attacks Flandre’s Ignite ability could withstand.”

After saying this, she seemed to remember something and looked at Geriloka beside her, asking,

“I heard Geriloka joined the Beast Taming Alliance in the last century. I wonder if you’ve ever seen Holy Fire? Do you think Hellfire can defend against the combination of Holy Fire and Fire Fang?”

“Geriloka,”

Geriloka called out gracefully, indicating that if it were the combination of Holy Fire and Fire Fang used by Leoas, Hellfire probably couldn’t defend against it, but it didn’t know about Flandre’s.

This was essentially meaningless… Nefertis and Auror exchanged a glance, understanding each other’s meaning from their eyes.

“Geriloka,”

Geriloka called out again, indicating that they would soon know whether Hellfire could defend against it.

Both hosts looked towards the arena.

The super-high-temperature pillar of fire that had completely distorted the surrounding air had vanished. Toothpick hadn’t been propelled upwards; instead, it remained stubbornly clinging to Hellfire Base.

However, the golden flames that had formed the Incinerator had disappeared.

Toothpick’s sharp teeth blazed with golden flames, still gripping Hellfire Base tightly.

“Hellfire!”

Hellfire Base cried out in pain, violently swinging its body, trying to shake off Toothpick, but to no avail.

“Explode,” Lefebvre commanded.

“Boom!!!”

Suddenly, Hellfire Base exploded with a ferocious burst of flames mixed with dark energy.

The explosion was so wide that it swept across most of the arena, the crimson and dark energy shattering everything in its path.

Not only that, everything outside the blast radius—dust, rubble, air—was drawn uncontrollably towards the center of the explosion, as if drawn by some force.

In the terrifying shockwave of dark energy and flames, Toothpick teleported high into the sky.

However, the next second, some force within the explosion pulled it downwards.

“Tooth!”

Toothfinch roared, spreading its wings and teleporting to a higher position. Like a spark flying backward, it continued to rise, avoiding the attraction of some kind of energy.

“Hellfire Base unleashed Gravity Explosion! It forced back the Burning Emperor!” Nefertis announced from the commentary booth.

Aurol exclaimed, “I didn’t expect Hellfire Base to unleash such powerful attacks in such a brief exchange.”

Geriloka elegantly picked up the water prepared for it by the staff, took a sip, and called out,

“Geriloka.”

The result of the previous question seemed clear: the Burning Emperor’s Fire Fang, fused with divine fire, could damage Hellfire Base.

“That’s right,” Nefertis agreed, “and the Burning Emperor wasn’t seriously injured. It must have withstood Hellfire Base’s Infernal Tornado. It seems its Ignite ability has reached an astonishing S-rank!”

Aurol nodded slightly: “Only an S-rank Ignite ability could withstand an Infernal Tornado without using any defensive skills.”

The audience erupted in cheers, their blood boiling with excitement. Many were marveling at how fortunate Fen Diduo was to have teleportation abilities, otherwise, just that one attack might have unleashed a torrent of flames. They also expressed amazement at the sheer power of the Holy Fire, saying it was so powerful that even the Ignite ability couldn’t defend against it, and how Fen Diduo’s Ignite ability was at such a high level.

Gravity Blast, a super-tier skill with both Fire and Dark attributes, creates a miniature black hole at the center of the explosion, pulling everything around it inward and resulting in an even more powerful explosion. Although Ya Bao possesses the highest-level Ignite ability, Gravity Blast still contains Dark energy; being hit by it would definitely cause severe damage… Qiao Sang watched the scene, the skill’s information flashing through her mind, while her gaze fell on the vague figure within the shockwave.

Hellfire Base, a royal-level pet with both Fire and Dark attributes, enjoys bathing in lava and has extremely strong resistance to both Fire and Dark types. It has a fierce and combative personality, launching attacks recklessly in battle… Qiao Sang recalled Hellfire Base’s predominantly gray-red body with red flame patterns, red ears, gray-black legs, and a disdainful look in its eyes, and related information surfaced in her mind.

Although its movement speed wasn’t as fast as Ya Bao’s teleportation ability, it should still be able to dodge the initial Fire Fang.

Hellfire didn’t dodge; instead, it took the damage and unleashed a Tornado of Inferno. It’s not hard to guess why it did this.

It’s likely that Leifeld had planned ahead. He assumed Hellfire could withstand the damage from Fire Fang and wanted to see if Tooth could withstand a high-level fire-type skill to gauge Tooth’s ignition level and whether it could still use fire-type skills.

After all, Hellfire’s most powerful attacks are mostly fire-based.

He just hadn’t expected Tooth to immediately fuse Fire Fang with Holy Fire, damaging Hellfire. Therefore, he had Hellfire use a high-level skill infused with dark energy to force Tooth back while also damaging it.

Oh, and Hellfire also possesses the Dark-type trait of probabilistic contamination; if attacked, one of the attacking pet’s skills will randomly become unusable… Qiao Sang quickly analyzed the situation in his mind.

On the surface, Hellfire had benefited the most from the recent clash. He had only taken one hit, yet he had already determined the level of Fangbao’s Ignite ability and prevented it from randomly using any skills…

However, the damage from Fire Fang, fused with Holy Fire, should be even greater than he had anticipated.

After all, aside from the match where he suffered amnesia due to poisoning, Fangbao had always carefully controlled skills fused with Holy Fire to prevent them from causing soul damage.

But this time, Fangbao hadn’t exercised any control.

“Bang!!!”

In a flash, an even more powerful explosion suddenly erupted from the shockwave.

Heat waves and shockwaves raged, flames mixed with dark energy spreading wildly in all directions, sweeping across the entire arena.

“Hell!”

Within the shockwave, Hellfire’s entire body flashed with golden flames, emitting an exceptionally miserable cry.

“Even though the Burning Emperor didn’t attack, Hellfire Base let out a scream!” On the commentary stage, Auror’s eyes lit up as he quickly analyzed, “This is the damage from the Holy Fire’s soul-scorching effect taking effect!”

Upon hearing this, Josang’s fans in the audience cheered wildly, while Leifeld’s fans were filled with worry.

In their minds, Holy Fire had always been a legendary skill exclusive to the pet beast Lioyas, practically a divine skill. Being attacked by such a skill felt like defeat was imminent.

On the field, the violent shockwave dissipated, and the entire ground was completely shattered.

In the night, a “sun” suddenly appeared, accompanied by powerful air currents, falling at an incredibly terrifying speed.

All eyes were instantly drawn to it.

Radiant Impact… no, it might still be Radiant Impact fused with Holy Fire… Leifeld glanced up at the falling “sun,” not issuing a command immediately.

The fact that the Burning Emperor unleashed Fire Fang, a fusion of divine fire, right from the start was unexpected. However, it didn’t matter; he had already anticipated that Hellfire Base would be struck by divine fire, it was just that the timing was earlier.

Ordinary royal-level pets might be unable to move due to the pain of their souls being burned, but Hellfire Base could.

He had encountered opponents with the ability to burn souls before, and suffered a crushing defeat in that match. To avoid the same situation, he had specifically hired several pets with the ability to burn souls, as well as a team specializing in healing souls, to train his pets.

Although he had never encountered divine fire before, he believed that even with the pain of burning souls, Hellfire Base, having undergone relevant training, could still attack.

After all, besides being specially trained, it also possessed the characteristic of burning fighting spirit.

“The Sun” fell, and when it was only about a hundred meters away from the arena, Leifeld shouted:

“Explode!”

“Hell!!!”

Hellfire Base endured the pain in its soul and let out a deafening roar.

At the same time, Tooth Treasure circulated its energy, trying to unleash gravity.

However, the skill failed to be successfully executed.

“Bang!!!”

A deafening roar erupted as Hellfire Base transformed into flames and successfully escaped before the “sun” fell. Dark energy mixed with ferocious flames exploded at that moment.

The shockwave raged outwards, pulverizing everything in its path.

“Bang!!!”

The ground shook violently as golden flames exploded where Ya Bao landed. The intensity of the explosion’s golden light momentarily obscured the dark and crimson light produced by the gravity blast.

A gigantic crater was blasted out.

The shockwave blocked the view of most of the area. In places unseen by anyone, a black hole generated gravity, sucking everything around it into the blast radius, preventing its escape.

“Bang!!!”

Immediately afterward, an even more terrifying explosion suddenly erupted.

The shockwave, accompanied by intense heat and black energy, swept outwards, instantly covering the entire area.

It’s over… In an instant, Qiao Sang’s fans’ faces changed drastically; only these four words filled their minds.

The power of the Holy Fire is immense, but once Hellfire Base is attacked by it, the opponent will undoubtedly launch a fierce counterattack. As long as we seize this opportunity to counterattack, we can eliminate the Burning Emperor before the Holy Fire completely scorches Hellfire Base… Lefebvre observed the scene, his expression calm and calculating, as if everything was within his calculations.

“Boom!!!”

But just then, the entire arena trembled violently again, and the temperature in the air soared to a level that no pet other than fire-type pets could withstand.

Something erupted from the ground.

“Hellfire!!!”

Hellfire Base let out a miserable cry.

Lefebvre’s calm vanished, his brows furrowed as he watched the scene unfold.

As the shockwave dissipated, the scorching, viscous magma had engulfed the entire area and covered Hellfire’s body.

This… everyone and their pets stared wide-eyed.

The viscous magma wasn’t its usual dark red color; instead, it resembled golden liquid flowing from the sun, spreading across the entire area!

Within the abyssal crater, Toothpick, engulfed in golden flames, slowly rose. (End of Chapter)
