Chapter 654: 648: The Power of Collaboration
At these words, a flash of anger crossed Bella Wanton’s eyes.
She regarded David Jones as her greatest opponent, and yet he treated her as if she were nothing but a small fry!
By the time the ten-second preparation had passed, without waiting for Bella Wanton to retort, the referee swung his arm.
“The battle begins!”
Determined to prove herself with actual combat, Bella Wanton no longer hesitated and commanded her pet to attack.
“Evil Slaying Wind!”
With a flap of the Phoenix’s wings, a massive firestorm rapidly formed and expanded in the air.
Seeing this, the three teammates behind Bella Wanton promptly ordered their own Wind pets to release their skills, hoping to feed the flames with more wind, combining their powers to wear down the opponent’s state or even clear the field early.
“Roaring Extreme Wind!”
“Wind Connecting Firelight!”
“Wind Flash!”
Boom, boom, boom, three massive torrents of wind actively merged with the Evil Slaying Wind, causing it to swell and turn into a firestorm that swept through the entire desert area.
At the same time, the other three members of Phoenix College exchanged glances. Three gargantuan Lava Rage Beasts simultaneously pounded the ground with their hands, sending sand flying and summoning a sky full of lava fireballs, aimed at the weakest on the field, the Fierce Scale Bear and the Six-tailed Ice Fox, in an attempt to eliminate the weak ones early on.
David Jones naturally wouldn’t allow the foe to bypass Daphne and crush his team’s pets, starting off with a Destiny skill.
“Destiny Judgement!”
Daphne vanished from the sky with a swish, and then a burst of intense light erupted, the heat that penetrated heaven and earth swept through the world, and the furious flames instantly detonated the skyful of fireballs prematurely, unleashing a massive shockwave.
Margaret Yule and the others ignored the heat wave coming at them and focused all their attention on the Genie Pattern on David Jones’s hand that resembled a Black Dragon in motion.
They believed their captain wouldn’t let any skills interfere with him!
And David Jones did not disappoint them, as a wisp of tiny light suddenly rose amidst the engulfing firestorm, growing larger and larger, unstoppable like the blazing sun, this was unmistakably Daphne’s strengthened skill Sun Chasing.
A glimpse of anger flickered through the Phoenix’s eyes.
The audacity of the opponent to compete with her for the control of the Fire Arcane Force with Sun Chasing was an outright challenge to her authority.
As a result, the flames encircling the Phoenix’s wings burst forth with dazzling red light.
Empowered by the red lotus fire, the Evil Slaying Wind that had swallowed the flames suddenly gained immense enhancement, even beginning to actively refine the brilliant sun within the sea of fire.
“Daphne’s Swallow Flame can’t handle the red lotus fire?” David Jones revealed a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Swallow Flame, a Class III growable Fire skill that Daphne had possessed from the beginning, had long been upgraded to Class VI using various types of Fire Pet Resources, capable of devouring any lower than Class VI spirit flame to increase power; the red lotus fire, an SS tier Class VI spirit flame, should have been no exception.
“But it doesn’t matter now!”
Transferring his teammates’ Energy continuously to the Genie Pattern, David Jones decisively raised his hand, heavy like a mountain, a look of excitement on his face.
“Beastmaster Cooperation!”
A surge of overwhelming Genie Force suddenly burst forth, rendering the great solar power in the high sky supremely noble.
“Meow!”
Feeling the power inside him surge wildly, Daphne couldn’t help but throw back his head and let out a comfortable roar, followed by a layer of pitch-black light slowly covering his diamond eyes.
Boom, boom, boom!
Actively opening his mouth, Daphne swallowed the Sun Chasing move, and a terrifying domination erupted wildly.
Under the double enhancement of Beastmaster Cooperation and support skills, Daphne’s Class VI, middle-level strength suddenly soared to the apex of Class VI, even his appearance underwent subtle changes.
“It’s a pity, unable to undergo Genie Transformation!”
David Jones had also attempted a few times to further the Beastmaster Cooperation into the Genie Stance. Unfortunately, his teammate didn’t have enough Arcane Force to support it.
…
At this moment, the terrifying domination spread throughout heaven and earth, even causing the Phoenix’s heart to start trembling.
“Such quick Beastmaster Cooperation!”
Seeing this, Bella Wanton, not daring to be careless, raised her gentle hand and, without hesitation, activated the Genie Pattern on the back of her hand. The slightly less pure Genie Force also erupted, causing her teammates to kneel on one knee, bearing the pain of the Arcane Force being rapidly drained from their bodies.
The six fire and wind dual-type Pets that were initially charging forward immediately stopped their charge, guarding beside the weakened Trainer to prevent the opponent from seizing the chance to attack and disrupting the team’s Beastmaster Cooperation.
The next second, the Phoenix’s fiery wings burst forth, and a pair of colorful flowing light phantoms unfolded from it, with a mysterious Genie Pattern appearing on its forehead.
“Squawk!”
A cry like thunder rumbled as a hint of embarrassed anger flashed across the Phoenix’s eyes. Its figure vanished from the spot, so fast that even David Jones’s Illusion-Piercing Eye almost failed to catch any trace of it.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The rapidly approaching Phoenix’s feathers ignited the red lotus fire, blood-colored, engulfing its entire body and moving through the Evil Slaying Windstorm it created with an elegant posture, shifting and appearing in front of Daphne as if teleporting through space.
Clearly, facing the power-boosted Daphne, the Phoenix, unable to gain the upper hand with red lotus fire, decided to switch to a different combat method, trying to use its sharp fiery claws for a close-quarters injury-for-injury approach to resolve the opponent.
Bella Wanton didn’t hesitate at all and chose to trust the Phoenix’s instinct and combat consciousness.
After all, unless the undying Phoenix encountered a skill capable of instantaneously ending its life, it could quickly recover from its injuries using Undying Nirvana.
“Red Lotus Demon Burning Circle!” Bella Wanton’s back-of-hand pattern shone brightly, and half of her immense Arcane Force was lost in an instant.
“Boom, boom, boom!”
As if unleashing Arcane Force required no energy at all, in the blink of an eye, thick pillars of fire rose from the desert, their unstoppable might linking together to form a tremendously powerful Seven-Star Flame Circle.
With the enormous phantasm of the Phoenix appearing above the circle, the sky-rocketing red lotus fire instantly spread around Daphne, burning the space and emitting an unimaginably high temperature.
Even the desert area’s guard started to emit wisps of white smoke, making some Trainers seated in the front rows fearfully swallow their saliva.
Fearing that the guard couldn’t withstand the terrifying high temperature of the Red Lotus Demon Burning Circle, which could melt everything, they were afraid they might be completely liquified as well.
Seeing this, Elsa Hoyle, the host and judge, curiously watched David Jones’s figure and lightly touched the remote that controlled the Wood Arena, adding an additional King-level guard on the spot.
“Using Fire-type skills for an injury-for-injury approach is your biggest mistake,” David Jones shook his head, somewhat uninterested, and snapped his fingers.
“End it, Solar Eclipse!”
Unbeknownst to when, three suns had appeared above Daphne’s head, unaffected by the Red Lotus Demon Burning Circle, emitting a light filled with extreme danger, even turning the tide to draw upon the solar power that existed since time immemorial.
In the next instant, the golden-colored desert suddenly blazed with unbearably fierce golden light, countless sand grains were boiled and condensed into shining crystals by the scorching magma, and of course, this included the Phoenix hidden within the Demon Burning Circle.
