Beast Taming: Starting From Zero - Chapter 1444
1444. Chapter 1439 Nebula Fairy (Two Chapters Combined)
Qiao Sang had watched all of Fen Di Duo’s previous matches. Whether day or night, Fen Di Duo’s condition was always excellent, without any difference. However, Fen Di Duo possessed the power of the sun, so its condition at night shouldn’t be the same as during the day.
He had been puzzled by this, but tonight, the duration of Fen Di Duo’s raging fire was noticeably shorter than during the day, unable to maintain its power, as if it were about to extinguish at any moment.
If he wasn’t mistaken, it was because the characteristics of the sun’s power were absent at night to enhance the raging fire mixed with holy fire.
Aside from the raging fire, Fen Di Duo’s condition was no different from during the day. It seemed that the research he had found regarding the latest evolutionary chain of Fire Fang Dogs was correct. When evolving into the advanced form, Blazing Star Hound, a very small number of Blazing Star Hounds could awaken the characteristic of moonlight power
. It seemed that Qiao Sang’s Fen Di Duo must have also awakened the characteristic of moonlight power when evolving into Blazing Star Hound.
Therefore, its condition remained unchanged in battle, regardless of day or night.
He knew which pet to summon… In an instant, Lefebvre changed his previous battle plan.
Adjusting the order of pet appearances based on the situation of the match is a required course for professional beast tamers.
Having Copper Coin Divination was just to increase his chances of winning, but even without following the divination results, he had enough confidence in himself.
In a flash of thought, the arena was changed.
“The next match is about to begin. Player Qiao Sang didn’t choose to summon Fen Di Duo back. It seems she plans to let Fen Di Duo continue fighting.” On the commentary stage, Nefertis said into the microphone, “I wonder what pet player Lefebvre will send out next.”
The mechanical pet wearing the referee’s badge came onto the field and blew the whistle to indicate “ready”.
The light and shadow of “10” appeared on the field, changing continuously with a mechanical sound:
“9, 8, 7…”
Now that Ya Bao continues to fight, the opponent should summon a pet that targets Ya Bao, rather than according to the divination order… Qiao Sang thought to himself.
“…3, 2, 1.”
The light and shadow disappeared.
Qiao Sang gathered his thoughts and stared intently at his opponent.
Ya Bao suddenly winced in pain, but the thought of the upcoming battle quickly replaced it with excitement.
The raging flames did not alleviate its pain.
Leifeld formed hand seals, his speed so fast it was almost a blur.
A mysterious, deep purple star array lit up the arena, and shortly after, a figure about ten meters tall appeared within it.
The moment the summoned beast appeared, the entire arena erupted in a clamor.
On the commentary stage, Auror’s eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, “Leifide has summoned the Nebula Fairy!”
“How could it be the Nebula Fairy?”
“Leifide, no way! He summoned Hellfire Base and then the Nebula Fairy right off the bat. I thought he’d at least save one of his pets for last.”
“Sending out the Nebula Fairy now…?”
“Ahhh! The Nebula Fairy! The Nebula Fairy!”
“I don’t think sending out the Nebula Fairy now is wise. The Burning Emperor is still in its raging inferno state, its attack power is incredibly high. The Nebula Fairy’s defensive skills don’t seem capable of stopping the Burning Emperor’s attacks.” “
It definitely won’t be able to stop it. Even Hellfire Base, with its S-rank Ignite ability, couldn’t withstand the Burning Emperor’s Holy Fire.”
“Don’t forget the Nebula Fairy’s abilities. How could it be so easily attacked by the Burning Emperor?” “
Under normal circumstances, it’s impossible, but the Burning Emperor is currently in its raging inferno state. Don’t forget, it also has a wide-area attack skill like Spark Rain.”
“Nighttime is the absolute battlefield for Nebula Fairies, but the Burning Emperor, possessing sacred fire and still in its raging state, really can’t be measured by ordinary royal-level pets. If it gets attacked, even the Nebula Fairy’s starlight shield might not be of much use.”
“What are you thinking? Nebula Fairies are invincible at night.”
“Wait, do you guys think the Burning Emperor can still put up a fierce battle with the Nebula Fairy? Am I the only one who thinks its raging fire is about to disappear?”
“Speaking of which, the Burning Emperor’s raging fire seems to have weakened quite a bit compared to before.”
Nebula Fairy… On the high platform, Qiao Sang looked at the humanoid pet in the distance, about ten meters tall, mostly blue-purple, with a semi-transparent body, starlight inside as if twinkling stardust, yellow oval eyes, a glowing star ring floating above its head, and holding a star staff. Her heart sank.
The Nebula Fairy, a dual-type Fairy and Psychic pet, is extremely rare. It’s said to have only been seen in the night sky above 10,000 meters and in the aurora borealis. It absorbs starlight to convert into energy and possesses a natural starlight shield, reducing damage taken at night by half. It has a gentle nature and is believed to bring inspiration… The
fact that they sent a Nebula Fairy…
Qiao Sang felt a pang of confusion.
To be honest, the Nebula Fairy didn’t have any obvious advantage over Ya Bao. Without knowing Ya Bao’s gender, the opponent shouldn’t have summoned their trump card prematurely…
unless they felt the Nebula Fairy could counter Ya Bao in some way.
In what ways could the Nebula Fairy counter Ya Bao…? Various thoughts flashed through Qiao Sang’s mind, and then something dawned on her, and she felt a sudden realization.
If the Nebula Fairy had any way to counter Toothball, it could only be…
She looked up at the stardust and moonlight, her nerves instantly tensing. Just as she was about to issue a command, the Nebula Fairy on the field winked, and a pink heart-shaped energy instantly formed and attacked Toothball.
Toothball remained unmoved, disappearing and reappearing behind the Nebula Fairy.
At the same time it appeared behind her, the Nebula Fairy vanished from its spot.
“Hidden Star,” Leifeld issued the command.
Sure enough! The opponent had noticed that Toothball also possessed the characteristic of moonlight power! Upon hearing the words “Hidden Star,” Qiao Sang immediately confirmed her thoughts and quickly responded, “Continuous Attack!”
“Burning Emperor wasn’t charmed by the Nebula Fairy, so it seems to be a male pet.” On the commentary stage, Nefertis analyzed.
“That’s right, the Nebula Fairy’s charm can only be resisted by pets of the same gender.” Auror chimed in.
After saying that, he seemed to realize something and remarked, “Player Lefebvre summoned the Nebula Fairy in the second game; it seems he really wants to quickly win back a point.”
Gerril Roca elegantly took a sip of water and called out,
“Geri.”
This was the right choice.
On the field, the Nebula Fairy appeared high in the sky, raised its head, and its eyes suddenly shimmered with a stardust-like light.
However, at that moment, a golden beam of light shot straight towards them.
The Nebula Fairy sensed the danger, and the starlight in its eyes turned blue.
The next second, it vanished from its spot.
At the same time, Toothbear appeared where the Nebula Fairy had been.
“Bang!”
A loud crash resounded as the golden beam of light slammed into Toothbear. The
shockwave, carrying golden flames, raged wildly in all directions.
“Burning Emperor unleashed a Blazing Fireball! But the Nebula Fairy immediately followed up with Spatial Twist, swapping its position with Burning Emperor’s! The Blazing Fireball struck Burning Emperor! The Blazing Fireball is golden! It seems to have also fused with Holy Fire!” On the commentary stage, Auror spoke rapidly about the situation.
In the audience, a clamor erupted as everyone discussed the brief exchange, many marveling at Burning Emperor’s ability to fuse Holy Fire with multiple fire-type skills.
Spatial Swap, a high-level psychic ability, allows the user to swap positions with a target within a certain range. With Nebula Fairy’s energy and proficiency in Spatial Swap, the swapped area could easily cover the entire arena… Qiao Sang’s mind flashed with relevant information, her expression unchanged.
An attack infused with holy fire might be disastrous for other pets, but Toothpuff itself possesses the power of holy fire, coupled with its S-rank ignition ability, so even if attacked, it wouldn’t have a significant impact.
Nebula Fairy, also possessing the power of moonlight, was indeed able to keep up with Tooth’s attack speed.
Everyone said Nebula Fairy was Lefide’s trump card, and there was a reason for that; despite being a Fairy-type, it also possessed quite a few Psychic-type moves.
At this rate, “Hidden Star” should be successfully executed… With
these thoughts flashing, Nebula Fairy’s eyes once again shone with stardust-like light as it looked up at the sky.
At the same time, a golden beam of light shot out from the shockwave, directly attacking Nebula Fairy.
Nebula Fairy vanished from its spot.
And where it had been standing, Tooth once again appeared.
Its entire body was engulfed in golden flames, seemingly unharmed.
The audience erupted in commotion, many astonished by the state of the Burning Emperor, which didn’t seem like it had just been attacked.
After all, that was the Holy Fire that had fused with the Lava Purgatory and instantly annihilated Hellfire Base.
“Nebula Fairy has used Spatial Twist again!” Nephthys exclaimed in surprise from the commentary booth, “After being attacked by an attack fused with the Holy Fire! It doesn’t seem to be injured!”
“It seems that the Holy Fire within Fendido grants it immunity to the same power,” Auror quickly analyzed.
Geriloka, with an elegant posture, was about to speak, but the intense battle on the field had already begun again, and it swallowed its words.
High in the sky, having learned from its previous experience, Toothpuff realized something the moment its position changed and teleported away.
The golden beam of light missed its target.
Toothpuff appeared behind Nebula Fairy, opening its mouth.
However, before the giant Fendido’s head could form, Nebula Fairy suddenly turned its head, its eyes, gleaming like stardust, flashing.
The next second, Toothpuff seemed to be controlled by something, its excited and fighting spirit turning into confusion.
“Oh no, we’ve been hit by the Stardust Illusion…” Qiao Sang shouted, “We’re going to lose!”
Stardust Illusion, a high-level fairy skill, is a type of illusion skill. A pet possessing this skill can create the illusion that the target is in the universe, gradually instilling fear and causing them to lose themselves in the cosmos. Unless one’s mental strength far surpasses that of the pet casting the skill, it’s difficult to break free.
“Ya Ya!”
However, Ya Bao instantly regained consciousness upon hearing these two words.
But at the same moment, he saw the Nebula Fairy open its mouth, a dazzling wave of light, like starlight, condensing deep within its throat.
On the high platform, Leifeld frowned slightly, but then relaxed, not stopping it.
His plan was for the Nebula Fairy to use “Hidden Star” to conceal and disappear the starlight and moonlight, thus rendering the Moonlight Power of the Burning Emperor ineffective.
Although the Nebula Fairy’s Moonlight Power would also disappear, as long as the Burning Emperor was defeated, the Nebula and Moonlight could reappear.
However, Nebula Fairy clearly had her own ideas, feeling it was better to attack during this opportunity.
If the Stardust Beam could successfully hit, given Burning Emperor’s already severely injured state, the match might end immediately…
Toothpick’s pupils constricted, instinctively channeling its energy.
The next second, a powerful gravitational pull suddenly decreased.
Caught off guard, Nebula Fairy plummeted downwards.
“Bang!!! “
A deafening roar erupted as a dazzling beam of light shot out, striking Toothpick’s limbs, though not completely hitting it.
“Toothpick!”
Toothpick cried out in agony.
At the same time, Qiao Sang issued the command: “Holy Rain!”
Any one-way attack could allow Nebula Fairy to use Spatial Transfer to switch positions with Toothpick, rendering even the most powerful attack useless.
However, for a wide-area attack like Fireball Rain, even Spatial Transfer would be ineffective.
Hearing its Beastmaster’s voice, Toothpick’s eyes hardened.
It opened its mouth, and a golden energy ball containing terrifying power shot out instantly, shooting straight into the sky.
A combination of Holy Fire and a shower of sparks! Lefebvre quickly made a judgment and issued the command:
“Switch!”
If it were just a simple shower of sparks, it wouldn’t matter if the Burning Emperor succeeded in casting it, but a shower of sparks fused with Holy Fire was absolutely unacceptable!
Switch?
Switch what? Switch positions? There should be absolutely no need for the Nebula Fairy to switch positions with Toothbear now… Qiao Sang’s brain worked at lightning speed, and then something occurred to him. His pupils contracted, and he shouted:
“Attack!”
However, it was too late. As the Nebula Fairy fell, it looked up at the sky, its eyes glowing blue.
Then, it disappeared from its spot.
And where it had been standing, a golden energy ball containing terrifying energy appeared.
Gravity was still in effect.
The golden energy ball no longer rose, but instead, with a “bang,” it fell downwards, crashing heavily to the ground, and an exceptionally large force exploded on the ground.
The arena shook violently, golden light exploded, the ground shattered, and countless stones flew everywhere.
“The Nebula Fairy has swapped positions with the energy ball!” Nephthys exclaimed excitedly from the commentary booth.
In the audience, Lefebvre’s fans were equally excited.
Spatial manipulation, when mastered to a certain level, can swap the positions of not only creatures but any object.
Just as Lefebvre’s fans were filled with excitement, they suddenly saw something and their eyes widened in shock.
High in the sky, Toothball seemed to have been prepared. The instant the energy ball and the Nebula Fairy swapped positions, it teleported to the Nebula Fairy’s side, opened its mouth, revealing sharp teeth burning with golden flames, and bit down hard.
“Nebula!!!”
the Nebula Fairy cried out in agony.
Even so, it opened its eyes, not struggling immediately, but remaining in the bitten position, its expression pained as it looked up at the sky, its eyes gleaming like stardust.
The next moment, as if night had fallen, swallowing the moonlight and stardust, the night instantly darkened.
Almost simultaneously with the moonlight and stardust being swallowed, a wave of exhaustion washed over Ya Bao, and the golden flames surrounding him quietly extinguished.
“Ya Ya…”
Ya Bao closed his eyes, released his grip on the Nebula Fairy’s sharp teeth, and plummeted downwards.
