Chapter 475 Like Stomping on Ants (1/2)
Wriggling itself out of Gao Peng's arms, the Desolate Frost Lion tore open the plane door and roared into the wind. Its body ballooned as it hurtled through the air. With one flick of its claws, it easily shattered the pillar of light that was still pushing against the airplane. The blue light around its body began converging into ice spears that fell alongside the Desolate Frost Lion as it fell freely towards the ground.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
The ice spears rained upon the ground, piling up on the One-Eyed Giant Demon until it was trapped beneath an ice mountain alongside Tong Mo, who was sitting on its shoulder.
The pilot wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked at Gao Peng gratefully. If it hadn't been for him, he would have died.
Gao Peng patted his shoulder and said to him in his native language, Japanese, ”Go back.”
Dumby then carried Gao Peng in its arms and leaped out of the plane through the door that the Desolate Frost Lion had left open. After Dumby closed the door behind it, the pilot noticed that there was a crack on the surface of the plane's windshield. Thankfully, its engine and wings hadn't sustained too much damage, so he could still make an emergency landing nearby.
”Master, should we kill them all, or should we take them alive?” said the Desolate Frost Lion through its Blood Contract with Gao Peng.
”Kill the familiars. As for their trainers, we'll see if there's any value in keeping them alive,” said Gao Peng casually.
He had a bad feeling about these people. Their modus operandi seemed to be ”shoot first, ask questions later.” He would have been instantly killed by those two attacks back then if he had been even slightly weaker. Since these people had apparently had no qualms about murdering him on the spot, why should he have?
”Understood.” The Desolate Frost Lion landed lightly on top of the ice mountain. It was channeling the ice energy in its body into the ice mountain, causing it to harden around its prisoners until it proved nearly impossible for them to break out.
A long elephant cry could be heard nearby. The Six-Tusked Brahman Elephant slammed both of its front legs down on the ground.
Thud! A seismic wave rapidly expanded outward from the elephant.
The elephant's psychic energy was intertwined with the seismic wave, which seemed to distort the fabric of space and time around it. Most of the city's inhabitants fainted as a result of the elephant's psychic pulse, while the young, old, and those with heart conditions instantly dropped dead.
The elephant's psychic attack managed to awaken the One-Eyed Giant Demon and Tong Mo, both of whom were both trapped under the ice mountain. It didn't seem to bring any harm to the One-Eyed Giant Demon. Rather, it struck the cyclopean familiar like a sharp prod, jolting it back to consciousness. Its glazed eyes gradually regained focus.
Roooaaar! A muffled roar sounded from the ice mountain, causing the whole thing to shake and shiver.
The Black Lightning Eagle made a sharp turn through the air before making a beeline towards Gao Peng, who was at that moment, freefalling in the air.
This was the perfect chance to strike. In mid-air, most Brawny-type familiars could only bring out 70 percent or less of their total power.
For some reason, Tong Ying couldn't shake the feeling that there was something wrong about this picture. He could see two figures freefalling in the air at that moment. The smaller figure must have been the enemy trainer, which would mean that the other figure cradling him or her in its arms must have been... a familiar?
This guy has two familiars?! How is that even possible? Tong Ying was shaken by what he was seeing. Could this be a Holy Individual that the legends speak of?
The legends spoke of a human being whose unique physiology allowed him or her to have as many familiars as they wanted under their wing. Known as a Holy Individual, such a person was capable of leading their tribe to greatness.
As they could sign as many contracts as they wanted, a Holy Individual would have all sides covered in combat. A trainer with just one familiar would have a hard time handling every situation on the battlefield. However, with a diverse collection of familiars, a Holy Individual wouldn't encounter such a problem. Their survival and combat power would be significantly increased by the diversity and number of their familiars.
”What, is that guy a Holy Individual?” exclaimed Tong Xiang in astonishment.
”It's just a guess. I didn't see any other trainers near him, so I'm guessing that the familiar beside him must be his.”
Dumby was gazing impassively at the Black Lightning Eagle. Its bones began to turn gray, and the white Soul Flames in its eye sockets burned brightly as its soul wailed out loud. Its vast spirit energy now enveloped both the sky and earth.
