The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon didn’t hesitate after hearing Zhang Che’s order. He directly shot out a deep blue ray from a hundred meters away.
The temperature in the air dropped drastically the moment the Extreme Yin Ray appeared.
Actually, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon could have used his skill from a thousand meters away, when they first discovered the Berserker Bear. However, Zhang Che wasn’t able to determine the huge bear’s level and quality at that time. Naturally he chose to get closer first and use his data eyes to have a look at the bear’s attributes, and learn for sure how powerful the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s skill was.
The moment the Extreme Yin Ray shot out, the Berkserker Bear sensed a great danger approaching. It suddenly roared, ready to jump to the side.
However, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s Extreme Yin Ray was too fast. It was upon the Berserker Bear at almost the same instant it shot out from the dragon’s mouth, landing cleanly on the bear’s body.
Its roar came to an abrupt stop!
A thin layer of deep blue ice crystallized over the surface of the seven-star legend-quality Berserker Bear’s body. Afterwards, its huge body fell to the ground in the direction it was jumping to with a loud crash.
The ice cracked at the impact. The Berserker Bear suffered a pretty severe injury from the attack. It struggled for a while on the ground before finally getting back on its feet with difficulty, wanting to make a run for it. However, its movements were slow, like an old man’s, swaying and wobbling.
“Damn, as expected of a single-target skill. It is indeed very powerful!” Zhang Che’s eyes lit up at the sight.
Although the Berserker Bear wasn’t too heavily injured, its movement was slowed by more than half, completely turning into a target practice that could barely move. It could only submit to its fate of getting slain by the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon.
The skill was simply a perfect crowd-control skill! Zhang Che couldn’t help but think of the frost damage mechanic in a game he played in his previous life, Diablo II. Not only did it deal damage to the enemies, it could even freeze them, or slow them down for a short period of time. It was the best thing ever to control mobs, especially when he was fighting against fast enemies. He only had to let the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon shoot out an Extreme Yin Ray at the enemy and their speed advantage would be directly nullified, waiting to get beaten on.
Sitting behind Zhang Che, the elemental queen’s expression changed slightly after they were done testing the Extreme Yin Ray’s might and were moving to kill the Berserker Bear, it having outlived its usefulness.
Even though she had a body made of innate fire elements, the powers she’d be able to display would fall by at least half if she was met with such an extreme cold attack!
The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon cried out proudly at the sound of Zhang Che’s praise, not continuing to attack the Berserker Bear. Of course, he still had a wide area attack he hadn’t used, but it wouldn’t be too effective against a seven-star legend-quality exotic beast.
As for Zhang Che, who was still riding on the dragon’s back, it didn’t seem very suitable for him to take the fight in a melee. As such, their attacks suddenly came to a stop.
The Berserker Bear seemed to have seized the rare opportunity, struggling with its huge body to turn around and run staggering for its life.
“Tsk, tsk. You can’t escape,” Zhang Che shook his head. The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon underneath him suddenly flashed forward, riding on the clouds, and caught up to the Berserker Bear.
A scarlet and white light flew out from Zhang Che’s brow. With a single attack, it pierced through the Berserker Bear’s skull. Its heavy body froze on the spot for a moment before falling back and slamming into the ground.
Inside the huge cloud of dust, the Berserker Bear’s vitality was exhausted, turning into a resplendent display of five-colored light, and it collapsed inward, forming a five-colored beast card with seven hexagrams on it, laying silently on the ruined ground.
“Not bad. After devouring the metal-attributed spiritual sword fragment, it feels like the scarlet and white sword light is becoming stronger and stronger!”
Although the Berserker Bear was frozen by the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s skill and had difficulty moving, it was something unimaginable for the past Zhang Che to easily kill a seven-star legend-quality exotic beast with a single attack!
After all, a seven-star legend-quality exotic beast’s basic strength wasn’t very different from a six-star epic-quality exotic beast’s. Moreover, their basic attributes like defense would be a touch higher!
Even so, the Berserker Bear wasn’t able to withstand a single slash from Zhang Che. It went to show that the scarlet and white sword’s attack power was indeed growing little by little…
“Such a pity that the scarlet and white sword’s attack range is only about a hundred meters. Who knows how much luck I need to increase it…”
The golden vortex had already reached a certain limit. If Zhang Che wanted to continue strengthening it, he’d have to wait until the demons launched another large-scale invasion and go slaughter them again. That way, he’d have a chance of absorbing large amounts of their energy.
However, would the demons’ next invasion be like the last, where only the weaklings and cannon fodder were sent?
If that day really came, the demons would most likely have found a way to bypass the spatial restriction. Countless powerful demons would descend upon Mercury then.
At that time, it’d definitely be a calamity for humanity on Mercury. As such, Zhang Che only hoped the demons’ next invasion was a decade or two in the future.
If he had that much time, he’d have become a Tier Nine beastmaster by then, and probably be commanding a bunch of nine-star subdued beasts and pets.
Putting others aside, the Umbra Wind God Leopard would surely mature fully with ten, twenty years of buffer time. At that time, so what even if the powerful demons invaded Mercury?
Zhang Che was confident that with the Umbra Wind God Leopard at peak strength, in addition to his other powerful beasts, he’d be able to safeguard Mercury by himself!
Well, it’d be too much of an exaggeration to say that he could protect all of Mercury by himself, but protecting his family and friends would definitely not be a problem…
Even if the nine-star super divine-quality Umbra Wind God Leopard wasn’t as strong as the golden divine bird with lightning all over its body, he had to be comparable to the green bird that killed Miyazaki Musashi back then, right?
Existences like that were at a level where their strength was unfathomable. Zhang Che could only guess blindly, without any basis to it.
While thinking to himself, Zhang Che jumped off of the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s back and picked up the Berserker Bear’s beast card from the ground.
-If I’m not wrong, it should be another Original Combat Body-type. After all, that fellow didn’t have any unique characteristics…- Just as he was thinking of that, he swept his data eyes across the beast card. Zhang Che’s mind suddenly stopped for a moment, freezing on the spot.
“Th-this… I really struck the jackpot!” Zhang Che stared wide-eyed, his face filled with shock. His jaw dropped and he started laughing out loud uncontrollably.
The Berserker Bear card he had expected to be Original Combat Body-type was unexpectedly a Fusion Transformation-type!
This was only the second time Zhang Che had seen a Fusion Transformation-type beast card. The other one was his Myriad Transformation Lizard, which had provided great help to him while he was developing, despite the Myriad Transformation Lizard card itself not providing him with any strength.
At present, the Myriad Transformation Lizard card was only at two-star dark gold-quality. Meanwhile, the Berserker Bear card was at seven-star legend-quality! The difference between them was simply immeasurable!
