Chapter 21: Intense Fight

--- Chapter 20 ---

[Ding! You have killed two 3-Rank Magical Beasts]

[Ding! You have killed eleven 2-Rank Magical Beasts]

[Din-!

[...]

[...]

Baek Ain bounced back and forth fast, swinging both blades in his hands with great force. As Baek Ain landed on the ground, he would cut a massive chunk of Magical Beast's flesh and kill them swiftly.

SWOOSH! BAM!

ROAR!

Baek Ain kicked a massive lizard and launched the beast like a wrecking ball. He used Dou Qi Blast, exploding the ground below him.

BOOM!

Alicia's notification filled his head, and Parallel Thinking kept everything organized in his head.

Baek Ain has been fighting these magical beasts for fifteen minutes, trying to find a way to reach the Beast Tamer. A crowd of magical beasts wouldn't cause so much problem for him, but the damned Beast Tamer controls these beasts and places them in a complex formation.

Every time Baek Ain killed a crowd of magical beasts, the Beast Tamer would change the type of beast from defense-type to agility-type. This annoying guy used guerilla tactics on him, wanting to squeeze out all of Baek Ain's stamina by wasting 2-Rank Magical Beasts' lives.

Unfortunately, Baek Ain could fight for days if he wanted to.

'I just need an opening.' Baek Ain dodged a spray of poisonous needles from a porcupine-like magical beast. He opened his right palm and returned the favor by erupting the area with Energy Blast.

BOOM!

On the other side of the field, the Beast Tamer frowned because this kid was more troublesome than he thought. 'When did Wu Tan City have such a talented person?' He wondered for a moment.

The Beast Tamer is formerly Dou Warrior, like anyone else. He lived in Wu Tan City and was shamed for not being talented, growing hateful toward people with talents.

And Baek Ain's existence doesn't make it any better.

The Beast Tamer was given a chance by an unknown force and obtained the power to control the magical beast, though only up to 4-Rank Magical Beasts.

Still, this is more than enough to wipe this city from existence.

"Kill him!" The Beast Tamer ordered an enormous anaconda to attack Baek Ain.

SWOOOOOOOSH!

Baek Ain's hazel-gold eyes widened because the 4-Rank magical beast, or the equivalent of Dou Spirit Warrior, was attacking out of nowhere.

[Lightning Impulse]

[Steel-like Enhancement]

[Super Jump]

His body moved by itself and dodged the anaconda's attack.

[Super Jump]

SWOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!

Baek Ain's body disappeared from the ground and appeared near the Beast Tamer's side. He swung his blades and slashed the Beast Tamer's left arm off.

The Sharp Tiger Blade failed to pierce through the Beast Tamer's chest but still caused enough damage to make this annoying guy scream in pain. The blade broke in half, leaving only the handle for Baek Ain.

Crack!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHH!!!"

"YOUR BRATTY BASTARD!!!"

The anaconda chased after Baek Ain and sent a powerful tail whip, which Baek Ain caught with his right hand.

Baek Ain's hazel-gold eyes shone with golden flame as his cultivation soared by five levels. He pulled the anaconda's tail and swung the snake around like a doll, smashing into the sharp-looking rock.

CRIEEEEEKKK!

A painful screech escaped the anaconda's mouth. A brown flame soon turned its body into ash.

[Ding! You have killed 4-Rank Giant Anaconda]

"DISCHARGE!"

"Tch." Baek Ain crossed his arm and felt a powerful electric wave attacking him.

The Beast Tamer pulled out something from his spatial ring and consumed a pill. His muscle bulged instantly and grew abnormally big, rivaling a gorilla.

Baek Ain's Sixth Sense detected abnormality about transformation as the Beast Tamer's eyes turned completely purple.

CLANK!

Baek Ain's Lightning Impulse triggered as he lifted the White Light Chakra Sabre.

The Beast Tamer's hand turned beast-like with five sharp claws. His formerly zero cultivation also reached the 5th Dou Spirit instantly.

"HAHAHA, THIS POWER!"

"DIE, KID!"

The Beast Timer swung its claw at Baek Ain, making him frown.

Clank!

'It's just all brute...' Baek Ain gently swung his tanto down, deflecting the claw away.

"HUH?"

"HOW DID YOU?!"

Baek Ain smiled and mumbled in realization, "I see... So this is Rou's secret."

[Ding! You have learned a new skill]
