Chapter 85 - Intense Battle (1/2)
Su Yanying didn’t have the time to worry about her pet having another master because the creature had already made a move.
Thunder Rus.h.!.+
By covering its limbs in electricity, it bolted away like a missile, while people could only see a flashy trail left behind.
Thunder Rush allowed the rat to move at almost Mach 2 and instantly reach its opponent. Next, it created a blade made out of electricity and slashed at the Thunder Basilisk’s neck.
Several scales were knocked off, leaving a shallow cut behind.
Roar!
The Thunder Basilisk furiously gazed at the smaller enemy annoyingly hopping about.
“What was that??”
“The Lightning Rat!”
Once again, the onlookers didn’t know how they should react after witnessing such a reversal. They all recognized the Lightning Rat, but n.o.body expected it to actually hurt a seventh-rank Thunder Basilisk who had just reached adulthood.
As they believed, the Thunder Basilisk could scare off weaker opponents by simply standing there, or greatly intimidate stronger ones. How could the Lightning Rat make the first move?
Rats were supposed to be cowards!
All the people in the stadium, including the invited settlers, thought that the match had ended when the Fallen Phoenix fell. Yet they were proven wrong by a Lightning Rat they had been ignoring for a moment.
A Lightning Rat bold enough to challenge a basilisk. What kind of rat was that?
“What the…” Ye Hao also checked the new enemy in astonishment. When he looked further, he saw Su Yanying similarly shocked.
And he felt displeased. If his Thunder Basilisk failed to suppress the rat, he would be helping the rat look better instead.
“Heh, I see.” He took a deep breath and sent his killing intent to the basilisk.
He had decided to utterly destroy the little nuisance. No matter what happened during the match, people would only remember the winner.
Roar!
Affected by both its master’s emotions and its challenged ego, the Thunder Basilisk shrieked madly. The sound, combined with the natural aura of a mighty basilisk, echoed in the stadium, making all those present shudder in fear.
This was how people usually felt when going up against dragon-type Astral Pets. They’d lose their will to resist at the very beginning.
The partic.i.p.ants of the tournament grew exceptionally restless. Since the Thunder Basilisk easily knocked them out before breaking through to the seventh-rank. They wondered what would happen if they were to repeat the matches right then. They’d forfeit beforehand, probably.
“Sh*t! That’s what you get for playing jokes on such an occasion!” Su Lingyue clenched her fists while looking at the miserable image of his brother. She was ready to go to his rescue at a moment’s notice because that basilisk could make short work of him anytime.
“Frigid Brine!”
Under Ye Hao’s command, the Thunder Basilisk unleashed freezing air that immediately expanded to freeze up the stage. Apart from causing a slippery footing, the basilisk could further increase the effect and freeze the Lightning Rat into an ice sculpture, unless the rat knew how to fly.
