Chapter 85 - Intense Battle (2/2)

“Oh G.o.ds…” The dropping temperature woke Su Yanying up from her shocked state as she realized what Ye Hao was trying to do.

Su Ping saw the Lightning Rat still gathering the gray energy of death and rolled his eyes. “Stop it. Your enemy won’t give you time to summon a powerful Undead. Use your brain!”

Hearing Su Ping’s spiritual order, the rat quickly canceled the skill it was casting. It didn’t like being around Su Ping, but it knew how to trust his decisions.

The rat tried to use Undead Calling because the best shot it used at the beginning failed to knock out the basilisk, and it felt anxious about finis.h.i.+ng the job in time.

It a.s.sessed the battlefield more carefully and began retreating toward the edge of the stage yet to be covered in ice. Meanwhile, it used All-round Thunder Prison to destroy the approaching ice so it had a safe spot to stand on.

Using the same trick, it opened up a small path on the icy stage and slowly approached the Thunder Basilisk.

Ye Hao frowned and changed his tactic.

The silver eyes of the basilisk glowed as the creature Leered at the Lightning Rat to send the invasive spiritual energy that way.

“Thunder Roar!” Su Ping ordered.

Ordering the rat without a contract wasn’t as convenient, though the rat had spent enough time with him to efficiently heed his order.

Another deafening roar boomed inside the stadium despite the rat’s size, causing everyone to flinch yet again.

Su Yanying, being so close to the rat, almost jumped in fear.

Thunder Roar was a simple intimidation tactic amplified by the power of lightning. It had little effect against the Thunder Basilisk. But at the same time, the Lightning Rat was also moving freely without slowing down by the Leer skill.

“Did it fail??” Ye Hao widened his eyes. “Do it again!”

Roar!

The Lightning Rat kept breaking through the ice, unaffected.

Ye Hao had realized that the rat had something to counter the basilisk’s Leer. Though he couldn’t understand how Thunder Roar had played a part in this.

Without much time to think of a plan, he simply told the Thunder Basilisk to use Thunderstorm.

Su Ping saw several miniature thunderbolts swirling on the basilisk’s wings; checking the Lightning Rat’s position, he noticed that the skill would go off before the rat could reach the basilisk.

d.a.m.n it. It has a tiny brain after all.

Su Ping couldn’t complain. The Thunder Basilisk was a genuine high-rank pet that should not be underestimated, or the match would have ended after the first move. He just had to give more specific orders.

“Use Shadow Image and go in three different directions. Cast All-round Thunder Prison as bait, while your true body shall flank it from the side. Tell the other shadows to prepare Thunder Slash and Thunder Rush to get closer. Aim for its vital points and eyes, then send something into its mouth. Now move!”

The basilisk’s attacks were both flashy and deadly. Su Ping was worried that the Lightning Rat would lose for real if the fight was dragged for too long. He had to seize the best possible chance to end everything.
